Show more Introduction to Interim Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. There will be no summer Interim in 1986. Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a four-courseload during Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/ No credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/ N system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation). Augsburg Policy It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

Departments are listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the college for Interim credit. Further descriptions and information about these courses are available in the Interim Office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the Lifetime Sports listed at the end of the Catalog. Building Key L-Library all M-Music H OM-Old Main P-Psychology S-Science Hall Options International Interims-Students are invited to be part of one of the 27 international interims offered by the Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE). These course opportunities are listed near the end of this catalog. Internships-Students electing an internship must present a completed internship learning contract to the Internship Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 26. Contract forms are available in the same office. Independent or Directed Study-Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed study per interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements. 2. Present to the Registrar for approval a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member. This proposal must be submitted at least one week before registration and no later than December 4. Appropriate study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office. Interims at Other Schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in the Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be done at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered for the Religion requirement. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $495 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office.

Cost: 8350 for travel and housing (approximately) Prerequisite: Consent of instructor Time: I Room: S 24 II Biological Evolution BIO 431-48008 Instructor:Ralph Sulerud That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are biologically related are probably the most significant conclusions which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The antievolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationists" will be investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted as a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined. Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwiniantimes to the present. F'inaUx we will address the course of evolution from the origin of life itself to the origin of human life. There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes and tests.

Staff from Center for Global Service The crisis in Central America is one of the major foreign policy issues of the decade. The purpose of the course is to expose participants to the complexities of the issues involved, and to examine the root causes for the desperate conditions that exist in most of the region. The course will be a joint offering of Augsburg, Gustavus, and PLU. The first part of the course will be held on the three respective campuses, examining key events in the history of Mexico and Central America and looking at the current readings and discussions. On January 16, we will depart for Mexico where we will spend five days at the Augsburg Center in Cuernavaca. From January 2 1-26, we will be in Nicaragua, housed at another facility managed and staffed by the Center for Global Service and Education. In both countries, encounters with people from the churches, political, cultural and business organizations will be provided. In addition, there will be on-sitevisits to peasant cooperatives, squatter settlements, historical sites, etc. Particular attention will be given to grassroots Christian communities and other ways in which the poor are relating the Bible to their daily experiences and seeking to organize themselves to bring about more just social institutions. The schedule will be an intensive one, but will also provide opportunitiesfor group reflection and worship, and free time. The final week of the course will be held back on campus, and will be a time for de-briefingand evaluation. During the first week, participants will be required to read 1-2 books, a packet of related articles, and give an oral report on an assigned topic. During the trip, students will be required to keep a journal, and upon return, write a final reflection paper, due on January 31.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, creatively solve problems, and communicate effectively. Discovering Your Gifts and Talents The heart of an Augsburg undergraduate education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders; and thus achieve the educational goals of our mission.

Thanks to Augsburg’s prime locations in the heart of thriving metropolitan areas, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities and Rochester are extended campuses for Augsburg students. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and 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. Campus Location Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota West Bank campus and the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s leading companies, as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is blocks from the METRO Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the Minneapolis International Airport. History A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, WI, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. Early Leaders Establish a Direction August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway— Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian 3 Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.” In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The Focus Changed Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen. The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. A College in the City Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city of Minneapolis. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Augsburg’s Rochester campus was added in 2002, further expanding Augsburg’s presence in key cities in the state of Minnesota. 4 Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world. 5 Augsburg Today Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:    An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church. Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens. The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor. Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers numerous master’s degree programs as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information about graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, MN. Centers of Commitment The four Centers of Commitment articulate core values that inform the institutional mission of Augsburg College both internally and externally: each Center provides a bridge between curriculum and community; each works to realize the College's Strategic intention to "educate for lives of meaning and purpose" as well as to ensure the College is "at the table" with community partners in relationships of mutual benefit that enhance the College's distinctive identity and deepen the educational experiences of our students. Their themes are reflected in Augsburg's mission: informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. Minneapolis-based Day Program Augsburg’s Minneapolis-based Day program offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). The Day Program provides an educational opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree through courses that meet during the day or in the evening. Students in the Day Program pay comprehensive tuition that allows them to register for between 12-19 semester credits per term. ACTC is a five-college consortium that allows Day Program students to take courses on other campuses without additional charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. (See Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) section). Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s Adult Undergraduate Program provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a bachelor’s degree with a flexible schedule and with a learning environment that acknowledges the real life experience adult students bring to the classroom. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional studies. The Weekend and Evening College (WEC) program began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. The program eventually grew to approximately 1,000 students in 18 majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges. In Fall 2014, the WEC program began a three year transition into the Adult Undergraduate Program (AU). Current students may continue in the WEC program until spring semester 2017. New students began joining the AU program in Fall 2014. 6 Program Transition Timeline WEC classes will continue to be offered on the evenings and weekends through spring semester 2017. After that term, the program will sunset and all courses will be offered in the AU program. During the transition, WEC students will be able to register for courses in the WEC, AU, or Day programs, depending on their schedule needs. WEC courses will continue to be offered in the hybrid learning model, combining traditional, face-to-face class time, with online and out of class coursework. Adult Undergraduate Schedule The AU schedule is designed to meet the needs of adult students. Courses in individual majors will meet on the same night of the week, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule for the duration of the major. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon” and “Silver.” Students select courses from both the maroon and silver schedules, creating an alternating schedule of classes. Face-to-face meetings occur on alternating weeks for three-and-a-half hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the program. Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. AU students may attend part-time or full-time each semester. Minneapolis - Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program offers the flexibility you need, and is delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. The program offers more than 10 majors designed to help you finish your bachelor’s degree quickly and efficiently, in as little as two years. Augsburg also offers courses from several Day Program majors during the evening in a traditional classroom setting. These majors include American Indian Studies, computer science, and English/creative writing. Please note that not all of the required courses for the Day Program majors are offered in the evening. For a complete list of degree completion programs offered in the AU Program, visit www.augsburg.edu/pro/majors. Rochester - Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s branch site in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered. The Rochester site classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city, which is home to more than 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. In Rochester, Minnesota, students complete the same degree requirements as students in the Minneapolis undergraduate program. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings, making them accessible to working adults. As with the adult undergraduate program in Minneapolis, Rochester classes are delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. There are 8 majors offered in Rochester, some of which must be completed by taking courses at the Minneapolis campus. In addition to the degree programs that can be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester and Minneapolis-based evening courses. Students at the Rochester site are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software.

Letters may be submitted by a supervisor, counselor, professor, or pastor (spiritual leader). Additional Information  If there is personal information that may have affected the applicant’s previous academic performance, it may be included with the application and discussed individually with an admissions counselor. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee before an admission decision is made. On occasion, the Admissions Committee may also defer a candidate’s admission until other information has been received. For example, test scores, results of current coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested by the committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Admissions Office will inform the candidate. Notification of Admissions Decision  Augsburg College uses a rolling admissions plan. Students are notified of the admission decision usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by the Admissions Committee. Note: Admission to a major—a separate process from admission to the College—is sometimes required. Check with the Admissions Office and consult the specific department’s section of this catalog. Readmission Day students who have not registered for courses at Augsburg College for one semester or more, and AU/Rochester/WEC students who have not registered for courses at Augsburg College for two or more semesters, must apply for readmission through the Registrar’s Office to resume attendance. Students who have attended other institutions during their absence from Augsburg must have an official transcript sent from each institution to the Registrar’s Office. Returning students do not pay the application fee. To apply for readmission after withdrawing from the College, students must submit an Application for Readmission.  The last day to be approved for readmission is the Friday prior to the start of the term. Please note that processing may take up to 10 business days. 15     If the student has attended other institutions since leaving Augsburg, official transcripts must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office. All financial holds must be cleared before a student can be approved for readmission. If the student was academically dismissed, withdrew while on academic warning or probation, or has a GPA below 2.0, they will need to submit a personal statement explaining their circumstances for review by the Student Standing Committee. If the student withdrew for medical reasons, a doctor’s note indicating the student is well enough to resume studies must be submitted with the application. Non-Degree Students Individuals may take coursework at Augsburg College as a non-degree seeking students can enroll on a space-available basis. Registration dates are included in the College’s Academic Calendar. To apply for admission as a non-degree seeking student, submit the completed application, academic intent, and all necessary unofficial transcripts to the Admissions Office. Individuals who intend to become degree-seeking in the future must submit official transcripts. Contact the Admissions Office regarding which unofficial/official transcripts you may need for your application file. Non-degree seeking students who wish to pursue a degree must reapply for admission by submitting the completed application, academic intent, and all official transcripts to the Admissions Office. Second Degree Students Students who have graduated from Augsburg who are returning to complete an additional major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is a different degree from the first awarded. Students who have completed a four-year degree at an accredited college or university may complete a second degree at Augsburg College. A second degree will not be awarded unless it is a different degree from the first awarded. Second degree requirements include a minimum of 32 semester credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any liberal arts requirements not covered by a previous degree. Depending on the student’s previous degree, completion of a second major (non-degree) may also be an option. International Students International students are a vital part of the Augsburg community.

The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Full-Time vs. Half-Time Students will need to be enrolled in 6 credits to be considered half-time and 12-19 credits to be considered full-time. This is an important distinction for charges and for accessing financial aid.

Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure. Payment Options Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts. Payment Policy Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy. Augsburg accepts the following forms of payment: Cash Students and guest payers may make cash payments in-person at the Enrollment Center. Cash should never be mailed. Students will receive a receipt of their cash payment. Check Students and guest payers may pay their term fees via check either in-person at the Enrollment Center, through mail, or online using e-check/ACH. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. A receipt will automatically be sent electronically for any online payments. Students who pay in-person or through mail may request a receipt of the check payment. Credit Card/Debit Card Students and guest payers may make student account payments online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card. As of June 10th, 2016, Augsburg will no longer accept credit card or debit card payments in-person, over the phone, or through the mail. Credit cards will only be accepted online via Cashnet, a vendor contracted by Augsburg. Because Cashnet charges Augsburg for their services, a credit card service fee of 2.75 percent will be associated with any credit card payment made to the college. This is to offset the approximately $250,000 in costs that Augsburg accrues annually for providing credit card payment options to our students. Augsburg will not receive any part of the service fee and will not be profiting from it. 18 Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must reapply each year. In addition to reapplying for aid, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). Augsburg may offer both merit-based and need-based financial aid to undergraduate students at the time of admission. First year students can find specific information at www.augsburg.edu/firstyear/scholarships. Transfer students can find information at www.augsburg.edu/transfer/financial-aid-and-scholarships. Augsburg will also determine students’ eligibility to receive financial aid grants from both federal and state entities. These grants include Minnesota State Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Pell Grant, Federal TEACH grant, and Bureau of Indian Affairs/Tribal and State Indian Scholarship. Contact Student Financial Services if you need any additional information about any of these programs. In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, and Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children, and other sources. Loan Assistance Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans.    Federal Perkins Student Loan o A federally-funded program administered through Augsburg College for students who demonstrate financial eligibility. No interest accrues nor do payments have to be made on the principal at any time you are enrolled at least half-time in school. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal (at the minimum of $40 a month) begin nine months after you leave school. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. The loan offers a teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study is $16,000. Federal Stafford Student Loan o Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by paying the interest while the student is in school and during the grace period. o For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan). Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS) 19 o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet college costs of their dependent children. Parents may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins within 60 days of final disbursement. Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/loans. Student Employment Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed. All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee.  Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program o Under these programs, the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College to provide part-time work opportunities. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students receiving financial aid are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid. Augsburg’s Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy follows the Satisfactory Academic Policy. Student Account Financial Disclosure Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during their time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records and Registration. Augsburg College may require someone to co-sign on the student’s obligations in special cases, such as when a student has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure. Results of Balances Not Paid in Full Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year (.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000 owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. Past Due Accounts If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it. 20 Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection agency, or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg College, or its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full. Tuition Refund Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date, students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. Medical Refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Unofficial Withdrawal Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term, including the portion previously covered by financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website. A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively. The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include, but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300. 21 Financial Aid Policy Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with faculty signature-Full Semester class.” Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date. Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes. Financial Aid - Return of Aid Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes, or in the event of hybrid/online courses, by being an active participant in the course. Federal/State Aid Adjustments Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Students are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned. Institutional Aid Adjustments Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students withdraw from their courses, they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid. Credit Refund Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial Aid needs to be finalized and applied to a student’s account before the credit refund can be issued. (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid. You can check your transaction history online to verify that all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending.) Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds. Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates; less than 3.0 credits for graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed. Bookstore Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $700 to their student account. Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year. Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut-off dates. Plan ahead for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds were issued. If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you purchase books if you need to discuss payment options. 22 Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. Third Party If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request. Additional Funds If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $700 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing. Subject: Request for additional funds Full Name: Student ID number: Additional request: Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation. Consumer Information Loss of Financial Aid Eligibility Due To a Drug Offense A student convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco.] A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student. A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows: For the possession of illegal drugs First offense: one year from the date of conviction Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction For the sale of illegal drugs First offense: two years from the date of conviction Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate, clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the ways in which the student may regain that eligibility. Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:  The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government program. 23    The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court. The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed insurance company. The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor. Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or regulations. 24 Residence Life Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library, classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name. Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher grade point average. Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities. Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or issues. Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with hook-ups for telephone, cable television, computers, and internet access. A skyway connecting the lobby of Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center and Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps students out of the weather on the way to class.

Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening, or weekend, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. Athletics and Sports Intercollegiate Athletics Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III.

Check schedules on the Athletics website for times when there is open use of the athletic field/dome, gymnasium, and ice arena. Campus Activities and Orientation Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education. CAO is made up of four program areas: Campus Activities CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with the Augsburg and surrounding community.

Parents obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their students on campus. Transfer SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will learn about College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding. Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day students, which is designed to complement SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in starting at Augsburg College. Student Organizations CAO manages student organizations on campus and provides them access to many benefits, including but not limited to: organization emails, websites, Auggie's Nest lockers, Auggie Room supplies, skill-building workshops and conferences, advising, funding and grants, and much more. Campus Ministry At Augsburg College, we are “guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church.” Because of this identity, we seek to develop an environment where people are encouraged to use and discover gifts and a sense of call and vocation. As a college of the church, we emphasize the development of this through attending to the sacred, living into radical hospitality, and shaping community. The college pastors, Chaplain to Student Athletes, Muslim Student Advisor, and campus ministry staff have offices in Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Our concern for spiritual care is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Daily worship, Wednesday Night Holy Communion, Bible studies, community outreach, retreats, peace and justice events, concerts and gatherings, Friday prayer, and interfaith initiatives are examples of the wide varieties of activities on campus. Community Engagement The Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, rooted in Augsburg’s mission to educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders, aims to:    Create a culture of civic agency and engagement among students, faculty, staff, and our broader community so that graduates are architects of change and pioneers in work of public significance. Foster connections with local community based organizations and position Augsburg as an anchor institution in the Twin Cities. Revitalize the democratic and public purposes of higher education in a time when strengthening colleges’ visible contributions to the common good, not simply to private benefit. Bonner Leaders Program In Fall of 2008 Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program. Through the Bonner program, students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their time at Augsburg. Those selected to be Bonner Leaders are students with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and experience in community and public work. Through placements with partner nonprofit organizations and community programs, students work an average of 220 hours each academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, coordinating a low-income housing program, community health outreach, tutoring in afterschool programs, and more. Beyond their work-study placements, students participate in civic engagement efforts on campus. 28 Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders Program, students engage in monthly guided reflections and leadership development workshops. The Augsburg Bonner Leaders Program is a successful model that builds on the College’s culture of community and civic engagement. Campus Kitchen The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger neighborhood by using food as a tool to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service learning. To accomplish these goals, four programs focus on this engagement:     Food to Share o Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Augsburg students in need can also find free food at our food shelf on campus, the Campus Cupboard. Food to Grow o On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of nearly 100 garden plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food. Food to Buy o Find fresh produce grown by local farmers at the weekly farmer’s markets Tuesdays through the summer: 11-1 pm at Foss Chapel on campus, and 2-5 pm at the Brian Coyle Center down the street. The market doubles any purchase made with food stamps. Augsburg is also the host of an organic CSA farm that people can become members of and get a large box of produce each week. Food to Know o Understanding our food system and community health through programs that educate on issues of hunger and poverty, and cooking and gardening classes in the community and weekly on campus. Common Table The Common Table, located at 2001 Riverside in the Trinity Congregation Building, is devoted to building community capacity to make change by connecting and equipping leaders.       Connecting campus community with neighborhood community. Connecting students to local communities, professionals, and movements. Connecting community members across boundaries at an intersection. Equipping young people with the mentorship and connections to pursue their goals. Equipping community members with the tools and experience of public work and organizing. Equipping leaders with an equity analysis for equitable leadership. We continue to welcome new ideas for utilizing this multi-purpose space to deepen the relationships between Augsburg College, Trinity Lutheran, the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, and the Twin Cities. Jane Addams School for Democracy The Jane Addams School for Democracy brings immigrant families, college students and other community members together to do public work and learning. It is a community-based initiative inspired by the vision of democracy, productive citizenship, and popular education held by settlement house pioneers like Jane Addams, who created Hull House in Chicago in 1889. Participants in the school include long-time community residents, Hmong, Latino, and East African refugee and immigrant adults and children, as well as students, faculty, and staff from nine Twin Cities colleges and universities. The non-bureaucratic and non-hierarchical structure of Jane Addams School breaks down barriers so that people can work together across language, culture, gender and age differences to address issues that impact their daily lives. 29 Public Achievement The Public Achievement organizing model recognizes that people of every age have skills, talents and ideas, and that by learning to work strategically with others they can solve problems and build sustainable democratic societies. In a school setting, young people form teams to take action on a public problem that is important to them (for example, driving out gang activity or improving classroom space). The team works with a coach—typically a teacher or college student—to develop an action plan. Through practice and reflection, the team members develop public skills and confidence. Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring programs, and literacy centers. Fine Arts Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra may perform on regional, national, and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theater Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals. Student Center Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse populations of residential, commuter, Adult Undergraduate, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and co-curricular programs and activities. Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the Admissions Office, Campus Activities and Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Multicultural Student Services, LGBTQIA Student Services, Event and Conference Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services. The Auggie’s Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student organization office area and houses the Augsburg Day Student Government, the Augsburg ECHO (campus newspaper) office and the KAUG (campus radio) office. Lockers are also available in this area for student organization use. Student Government The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Adult Undergraduate Student Advisory Council organizations support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official student governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg College. 30 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Lindell Library Resources Since 1997 the James G.

Our staff is committed to helping students develop lifelong career management skills that honor each student’s unique gifts and aspirations, aligned with active citizenship in the world. The Career and Internship Services office plays an essential role in students’ overall education and includes a comprehensive resource center that emphasizes the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration of vocation throughout their college years. We help students and alumni:          Assess their values, interests, personality, strengths, and skills Explore meaningful work options and majors that align with these elements Link academic majors with career paths Consider the role that vocation plays in their lives Clarify their personal definition of meaningful work Build experience through volunteer and internship learning opportunities Prepare for the job search and/or graduate school Build lifelong career management skills to successfully navigate the changing job market Make a difference in our communities by contributing their unique gifts to the world Augsburg offers several opportunities for students to gain on-the-job and internship experience. Our faculty and staff have developed partnerships with community organizations and employers that provide learning opportunities to students, many of which fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement for graduation. Internships  Internships for Academic Credit o An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students complete internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, schools and churches. o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Students must be registered for their internship during the term in which they are completing the majority of their experience. Credit will not be awarded for past experiences. Internships can be registered for 2 or 4 semester credits. A two credit internship involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 6 hours per week or 80 total hours for the semester. Internships for four credits require a minimum time commitment of, on average, 12 hours per week or 160 total hours for the semester. A maximum of 16 semester credits of internship may count toward the total credits required for the degree. Upper division internships completed off-campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.  Non-credit internships o Internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit internship (AUG EX3) to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a real world setting and reflect on the experience. Internship opportunities are typically part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during the summer, but may have flexible start dates and schedules. Students choosing to complete this option will register the internship during the term in which they will be completing the experience, set learning goals, complete a minimum of 80 hours, and reflect on their experience. The Director or Internship Coordinator of Career and Internship Services supervises non-credit internships and evaluates the reflection process. 32  Work Connections (Available to WEC and AU students only) o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to WEC/AU students who are currently working full or part-time. The Work Connections option allows WEC/AU students to utilize their rich and often extensive work history to meet the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement in lieu of a traditional internship. WEC/AU students choosing to complete this option will register for the Work Connections course (AUG EX4) during the term in which they intend to complete their reflection work. This option requires students to write learning outcome goals that integrate their on-the-job experience with classroom learning and complete reflection assignments describing an academic and work connection. Staff of Career and Internship Services supervises and evaluates the Work Connections reflection process. Gage Center for Student Success The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units: Academic Advising The professional staff advisors in the Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising work directly with students in identifying academic interests and satisfying the curricular requirements of the college. In addition, we support the work for faculty advisors. Our office assists new Day and Adult Undergraduate (AU) students with initial course selection and registration, and provides orientation to the academic policies, procedures, and resources at the College. In addition, Academic Advising administers assessment tests, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree planning resources, and answers academic progress questions. All incoming students are assigned a faculty and staff advisor. Staff advisors work closely with students to ensure their understanding of available resources and support. As students become more familiar with the College, they spend more time meeting with their faculty advisor and developing the faculty-student mentoring relationship. Once a major is declared, each student will select a faculty advisor from their chosen discipline by completing the Change of Major/New Advisor Form. While all students are required to meet with their faculty advisor(s) each term prior to registration, students are encouraged to meet with their advisor(s) as often as necessary to support their academic progress. Students must declare their major(s) by the end of their sophomore year. Majors and minors are declared online in Augnet Records and Registration. Students confirm their majors and minors on an annual basis until the Intent to Graduate form is submitted. Academic Skills Office (ASO) The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become self-directed learners. Comprehensive academic support (e.g., training in time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination, problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all Augsburg students through individual and group appointments. In addition, the Academic Skills coaches address affective needs and aid in the overall transition to college. Coaches also refer students to campus resources. The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:    Academic Skills Coaching o All students in need of academic support services may meet with a professional member of our staff (academic skills coach) to identify issues, find short-term solutions, problem-solve, and learn about additional resources on and off campus. Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services o ASO coordinates free tutoring (individual and group drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific courses. Tutors and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to provide tutoring support. See form here, call us at 612-330-1445, or e-mail your tutor request to tutor@augsburg.edu. Response time varies based on tutor availability. You will receive an e-mail as soon as a tutor is available. CAP Program – Connect, Achieve & Progress 33 o  Each year, a limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP students do not meet the program requirements in their first semester, they will be continued in the CAP program, placed on probation, or dismissed. Get more information at the Academic Skills Office website, http://www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures. Satisfactory Academic Progress Warning and Probation Advising o Students who do not meet the College’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards, will be placed on Warning, Probation, or Suspension. Students on Warning and Probation are required to meet with an approved academic advocate and complete all necessary requirements as outlined on the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills. A registration hold is placed on the student’s record, which will prevent registration until the necessary Probation requirements have been completed. Students who do not complete the requirements as needed, may be suspended. For more information see the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, sensory, and physical disabilities, as well as those with temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences. Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their specialist, and discussions may include:      Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking) Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the college faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs. The services and technology provided by CLASS are enhanced by generous support of the Gage family and Groves Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053.

The Christensen Center for Vocation works with students, faculty, and staff to explore how each person’s contributions can be uniquely valuable and how we might best live in freedom and responsibility for the sake of the world. The commitment to keep this understanding of vocation central to Augsburg’s mission is carried out by embedding the exploration of vocation in the curriculum as well as through the Christensen Scholars program, internship and service opportunities, short term projects and public lectures. The Christensen Center for Vocation also works to deepen and extend Augsburg’s commitment to interfaith engagement. That commitment includes an Interfaith Scholars program, creating a campus culture in which people of diverse religious traditions have welcoming sacred spaces, convening conversations that respect and explore our differences while also engaging together in acts of service, peacemaking and working for justice. The Christensen Center for Vocation is committed to working with churches, diverse religious communities, nonprofit organizations and other schools of higher education as we live out Augsburg’s commitment to educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers and responsible leaders. StepUP® Program The StepUP program at Augsburg College strives to help students champion lives of recovery, achieve academic success, and thrive in a residential community of accountability and support. The culture of StepUP is shaped by its core elements: abstinence-based recovery models, mutual support groups, peer-to-peer recovery support, and other proven pathways to healthy recovery - along with the residential component of the program. Our holistic approach to recovery focuses around students developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions. Students live in on-campus recovery housing, have individual support meetings with licensed alcohol and drug counseling staff, and participate in team and community-building activities. Students have access to academic skills specialists and other support services on campus in order to ensure their educational success. Participation in StepUP offers students leadership opportunities within the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. Our students give back through leadership and service and thrive in an alcohol- and drug-free environment. In StepUP, students join together to form a community in which recovery is celebrated as a normal part of personal growth. Many of the friendships and bonds that students form while participating in the program last a lifetime. In order to qualify for the program, students must be committed to a 12-step or other proven, abstinence-based recovery program, have a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide by the StepUP student agreement, and live in StepUP housing. Multicultural Student Services American Indian Student Services The American Indian Student Services program has been assisting American Indian students to further their academic careers at Augsburg College since 1978. The program’s mission is to recruit, retain, and graduate Native students by providing academic, financial, emotional, and cultural support and advocacy in a comfortable and friendly environment. Some of the services provided include:  Assisting students with the admission process and financial aid application 37       Nurturing students’ identification as an American Indian and providing opportunities for students to learn about their heritage Providing opportunities for the campus community to learn about the variety of American Indian people and cultures Providing academic advising and course plans Providing opportunities to network with other American Indian students, faculty, staff, and alumni Providing a number of different scholarships, including the Bonnie Wallace Leadership Award, Minnesota Indian Teacher Training Partnership Grant, and additional assistance in seeking and applying for other outside/tribal scholarships Offering community and professional referrals, networking opportunities within the Native community and information about jobs and internships Latin@ Student Services Mission The mission of Latin@ Student Services (LSS) is to provide services, programs and resources that empower Latin@ students to persist and graduate, develop and strengthen their self-advocacy and leadership skills, and contribute to the advancement of the communities they are part of. Most importantly, LSS seeks to be a safe inclusive place where students feel a sense of belonging and community and find pride in their self-identified identities, affinities, and culture. History Originally established in 1994 to support a majority of international and 2nd generation hispano/latino students, the office of Hispano/Latino Student Services was re-branded in 2014 under the Latin@ Student Services (LSS) name in recognition of the changing demographics and needs of current Latin@ students at Augsburg College. During the 2014-15 academic year, LSS has served 177 self-identified Latin@ students who represent a diversity of identities, cultural and national backgrounds, individual and community experiences, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, class, and immigration statuses. Pan-Asian Student Services The Pan-Asian Student Services program was created in 1992 to recruit and retain Asian-American students and to enhance the quality of their total experience while at Augsburg College. The program seeks to create opportunities where Asian students can be involved in and contribute to all aspects of academic and student life. The program provides assistance in the admissions and financial aid application process, orientation, registration and coursework selection, career development, academic and non-academic pursuits, and employment and placement referrals. The Augsburg Asian Student Association is affiliated with the program. The association organizes various activities during the academic year to increase the network of friendship and support for Asians, other students at Augsburg, and the surrounding community. Pan-Afrikan Center The Pan-Afrikan Center (PAC) traces its roots to the 1968 event, “One Day in May” when Augsburg students compelled faculty and staff to respond to Civil Rights era challenges pro-actively through sit-ins and teach-ins held on and off campus. As a result, Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved over the years into the PAC. Today, the PAC is primarily a resource center, providing culturally-conscious personal, academic, financial, pre-professional and transitional support for students of African descent. This serves to enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduation of our students and facilitates a more meaningful learning experience. The PAC brings the knowledge and experience of Afrikan people in the Diaspora to the community through a variety of programming as well through advising the PanAfrikan Student Union. The Pan-Afrikan Student Union (PASU) is a commissioned organization whose purpose is to 38 enable students of African descent to share their diversity and collectively express their fellowship with the Augsburg community. PASU sponsors a variety of social, intellectual, and cultural activities. Scholastic Connections Scholastic Connections is a scholarship and mentorship program for achievement-oriented, undergraduate students of color. The goal of the program is to form a mentoring community that provides a network of belonging that recognizes, supports, challenges, and inspires scholars to ensure their success at Augsburg and beyond.

All HECUA programs explore civic engagement, community, and social change, and emphasize internships and field study. Art for Social Change: Intersections of Art, Identity, and Advocacy—Spring What is art for? Who is allowed to be an artist? Where do you find art, and what happens when it finds you? In the Twin Cities-based Art for Social Change program, students seek the answers to these questions not in a gallery or a museum, but on busy corners, vacant storefronts, and empty lots. Students will tap into a growing movement of artists pushing the boundaries of what creative expression does and whose voice it amplifies. Art for Social Change is taught in partnership with Pillsbury House + Theatre, an innovative center for creativity and community in South Minneapolis. Students meet and intern with PH + T staff, resident artists, and a myriad of leaders from the Minneapolis City Council, neighborhood associations, and local businesses. Students receive mentorship from public artists, and an individual budget to create three community-engaged art projects. Community Internships in Latin America (Ecuador)—Fall or Spring The Community Internships in Latin America program, based in Quito, Ecuador, offers a semester of study experience with a focus on community participation and social change. A hands-on internship designed to meet the learning goals of the student is combined with a seminar, an independent project, and a homestay for an intensive immersion into Latin American daily life and culture. In the second week of class, each student begins an individual placement at a nonprofit community organization. Previous internship sites have included an organic farm, an arts hub for urban youth, and a women’s safe house. Students learn firsthand about the social problems in Ecuadorian communities and explore ways in which communities are addressing these challenges. All lectures, internships, and field projects are in Spanish, with discussions in Spanish and English. Readings are mostly in Spanish. Papers may be written in English or Spanish. Environmental Sustainability: Ecology, Policy, and Social Transformation—Fall The most pressing environmental challenges today are global in scale and require scientific, creative, and systems thinking approaches to understand their root causes and forge more just and equitable solutions. The four linked semester courses of Environmental Sustainability apply systems thinking and sustainability theory to real world cases. Students explore structural inequalities in their own communities, examining patterns of privilege, power, and oppression. They study the restoration of degraded ecosystems, witness and participate in citizen science, and assess how policies and partnerships foster ecologically sound transformation. Students also complete a 20 hour per week internship at one of the many vibrant environmental organizations in the Twin Cities. Past internship placement sites include the Land Stewardship Project, MN350, and Spark-Y Youth Action Labs. Students will leave prepared for leadership roles at the intersection of environmental and climate justice, with a profound understanding of the work being done locally and nationally in those fields. Inequality in America: Policy, Community, and the Politics of Empowerment—Fall or Spring In this Twin Cities-based semester program students actively delve into major challenges of our time: poverty, inequality, and social change. This program asks: What are the root causes of increasing levels of economic, political, social inequality and insecurity and how does this impact all social classes and groups in the United States? How are economic, political, and social inequality reproduced? How do we create more opportunity for all Americans and what are some concrete social change tools for making these changes? To answer these questions, the program examines and connects the economy, housing systems, education, welfare, government policies, urban sprawl, regional race and class segregation, and institutional discrimination. In professional internships, students work to explore solutions in organizations committed to social transformation. Students have direct conversations and work with practitioners in 45 government, the private sector, nonprofits, labor unions, and schools, and other community institutions working to address poverty and economic, political, and social inequality. Sustainable Agriculture, Food, and Justice in Italy––Fall Students live and work at the Castello Sonnino, a historic estate roughly 12 miles outside the major city of Florence. Since the early 1800s, the Sonnino family has run the estate, and the current generation is deeply committed to cultural and architectural preservation. Students live in apartments on the Sonnino grounds, overlooking 300+ acres of woods, olive groves, and working farm land. They study the political and economic context of the farming and food movements particular to Italy. They gain firsthand experience of sustainable local food systems and the role they play in maintaining rural culture through an internship placement on the Sonnino farm, in the nearby village of Montespertoli, or in nearby Florence. Students receive basic Italian instruction, and complete a guided independent study project. New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future—Fall or Spring Beginning with five weeks of travel across the North Island and ultimately based in Wellington, this program examines how social and environmental factors shape political and ecological dimensions of identity and culture, and how New Zealanders from many different backgrounds are envisioning and creating a shared future. During the trip and in Wellington, students learn about the history of colonization, the truth and reconciliation process that shape contemporary life, Māori protest and social movements, key strategies used to achieve sustainability, new agricultural practices, and more. Students intern at a nonprofit organization in Wellington. Internship placements in past years have ranged from Kennett Brothers Mountain Bikes to Sustainable Coastlines, from the Green Party New Zealand to Zealandia Urban Eco-Reserve. Links between environment, culture, policy, and community are at the heart of these field study and internship opportunities. Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Fall or Spring The Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change program examines the historical, political, and religious roots of conflict in Northern Ireland, the prospects for peace, and the progress being made. Through a seven-week internship, students get hands-on experience with organizations working for social change. Field seminars focus on human rights, conflict transformation, and education for democracy. The program is based at the International Conflict Research Institute at Ulster University (Derry/Londonderry), and on facilitated trips, students compare that region of Northern Ireland to the “borderland” area and to Dublin. Race in America: Then and Now —Summer The summer of 2014 saw the beginning of a dramatic shift in public conversation around race in the United States. As the tragic deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, and other unarmed men and women dominated the news, powerful protests forced American to face the twin realities of institutionalized racism and police brutality. Race in America: Then and Now dives into questions of racial justice in America today, and the continuing role of race in the United States. Students meet with civil rights activists who were active in the 1960s and those who are active now, as well as lawyers, politicians, educators, and youth. The program is based in Jackson, Mississippi, and is offered in collaboration with the Fannie Lou Hamer National Institute on Citizenship and Democracy at COFO on the campus of Jackson State University, one of America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The New Norway: Globalization, National Identity and the Politics of Belonging—Fall In less than 50 years, Norway has become one of the richest nations in the world and increasingly diverse. Twenty-five percent of Oslo residents, for example, are not ethnic Norwegian. The program investigates dramatic changes in Northern Europe by examining the contemporary challenges and opportunities for the Scandinavian welfare states in an age of globalization and mass migration. Core topics include globalization and multiculturalism, nation-building and national identity, governance and political party systems, European integration, racial thinking, histories of racialization, the rise of the populist/far-right, international aid politics, and gender. Questions framing the program include: How might Norway and the other Scandinavian welfare states adapt to the challenges of multiculturalism, European integration and globalization? What factors have made possible the rise of populist / far-right parties in Scandinavia and what has been their impact on politics and society more generally? How have film, literature and social movements 46 challenged conventional understandings of what it means to be Norwegian/Scandinavian? Students study Norwegian language or do an independent research project, and intern with a leading NGO. Agriculture and Justice: Building a Sustainable Food System––Spring Two linked semester courses use hands-on, field based methods to unpack sustainable agriculture and justice, exploring the food system, land ownership, labor practices, and policies. Students gain hands-on growing skills and travel to food shelves, grocery stores, community centers, as wells as conventional and small-scale farms. Each student completes a short-term stay on a sustainable farm, as well as a field project in a hunger relief organization or urban community farm. A 4- to 8- credit food systems internship is available concurrently with the two courses, or in the summer following the program. In past semesters students have interned with the Land Stewardship Project, Frogtown Green, Mill City Farmers Market, and others, Making Media, Making Change: Digital Technologies, Storytelling, and Action––Fall and Spring This Twin Cities-based semester of two linked courses is taught in collaboration with St. Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN), a bustling studio and media access center that puts cameras into the hands of historically underrepresented creators. Students of all experience levels will leave the class with three short films to their credit, including a final work created in collaboration with a local nonprofit. In addition to hands-on training, students meet the leaders of the local media justice landscape. Students see their work as part of a global movement to make media accessible, relevant, and reflective of the diverse voices demanding to be heard. A 4- to 8- credit media production internship is available with community partner SPNN simultaneously (for students who have advanced technical skills) or following the program. Augsburg Affiliated Programs The Center for Global Education & Experience maintains a robust portfolio of affiliated programs to enhance the global education offerings available to Augsburg students.

Faculty-led Short-term Programs Students must register for all courses required by the short-term program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE) Office. Any courses removed by the student without CGEE permission prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded. Eligibility Following are Augsburg College’s requirements for Study Abroad and Away in the USA:      Minimum 2.0 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs/courses may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with CGEE. Sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you off campus.

Space is limited, so early application is recommended. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of semester off-campus study is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and off campus study fees. Airfare, personal expenses, books, and other expenses are not included in the price of semester programs. Program costs vary; Augsburg College pays the program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for off campus study. Students on semester programs will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition plus living and travel expenses when studying abroad. Students who receive financial aid, loans, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to cover their off-campus study program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., President’s, Regents’, Legacy, Promise, and other Augsburg gift aid/scholarships, and tuition benefit) may use their scholarships to study off campus multiple times on Augsburg programs (see below in off-campus study program section). However, institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward off-campus costs on an affiliate program. Cost estimates for the time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad. Additional scholarships are available for semester and academic year programs. The cost of short-term faculty-led programs is typically comprised of tuition (for summer programs), meals, airfare, ground transportation, and interpretation/translation services. These costs are on top of any semester/year tuition 48 charges. Some scholarships are available, but are limited for short-term programs. Students often apply loans to fund the additional cost of education travel. Students should attend the required information session and read the advising handbook for any updates to scholarships and financial aid policies. Students are required to notify CGEE immediately if they choose not to continue with their off-campus study experience. At the moment of notification, non-recoverable costs and a cancellation fee will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal, students may owe nothing; or they may owe the offcampus study fee, the deposit, or some or all of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of CGEE and their program provider.

Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. 49 Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg College. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the College and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education, Nursing, Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office of the College Board. Augsburg College is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. Honors Program The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu (612-330-1560) or Phil Adamo, Honors Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Also see the Honors Program in the departmental pages of this catalog. Inter-Institutional Programs Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC) Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private college’s library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to more than 2.5 million volumes and media resources of the 14 libraries. Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) Full-time Day students at Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which an Augsburg student has cross-registered is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not at the host ACTC institution. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. AU/WEC/ROCH programs are not part of the ACTC consortium, and students in those programs may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. 50 Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Ecuador, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs in the International Programs and Urban Studies sections of the departmental pages of this catalog.) McNally Smith College of Music Augsburg College full-time Day students may elect to take one course each semester at McNally Smith College of Music (MSCM) providing that they meet all MCSM requirements. This program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their advisors to confirm if the classes will count toward graduation requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be used as a substitute for any Augsburg course specifically listed within a degree program. Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg-McNally Smith exchange are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which a student has completed through the exchange is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not McNally Smith. Air Force ROTC Augsburg Day students interested in participating in the Air Force ROTC program must apply for admission to the unit at the University of St. Thomas. Students are eligible to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information contact the University of St. Thomas at www.stthomas.edu/afrotc. Army ROTC Augsburg Day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities at www.goarmy.com/rotc/schools/university-ofminnesota. 51 Academic Policies and Procedures Registration Students must be officially registered for all courses for which they are participating. All registered courses will be reflected on a student’s AugNet Records and Registration page. Web registration through AugNet is the primary method of registration, although registration can be processed through the Registrar’s Office with a Registration Form in instances where online registration is not possible. Students are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their registrations. Students are required to meet with their faculty advisor prior to registration for the fall, spring, and summer terms. As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisors when planning their academic program. Specific registration dates and deadlines for each semester are listed in the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Students who are missing prerequisites for a course may be eligible for a prerequisite waiver if, after discussion with the course instructor, the instructor determines that the prerequisite learning objectives have been met. Students who believe they have already completed the prerequisite in question should contact the Registrar’s Office at 612-330-1036 or registrar@augsburg.edu. The following registrations cannot be completed online and must be processed with a Registration Form:       THP courses (Theater practicum courses) 100-level MUP courses (Variable-credit music lessons) Student Teaching (Education Department approval required) Independent Study and Directed Study (Independent Study form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage) Internships (Internship Registration form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage) ACTC courses (Course listings are available online through each ACTC institution and should be checked to verify the correct meeting times and room assignment.) Credit Loads Full-time day students normally register for 16 credits per semester. Students in the AU/WEC/Rochester programs typically register for 4-8 credits each semester. Students registered for 12 or more credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. Students registered for at least 6 credits are classified as half-time students. To register for more than 19 semester credits, students must petition the Student Standing Committee unless the following apply: Students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 or greater may take a total of 20 semester credits without petitioning; students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 22 semester credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done through a Registration Form. (Note: For students in the Day program there is an additional tuition charge for course loads over 19 semester credits. This includes combining the credit load from both the DAY and AU/WEC programs. Auditing classes over the 19 semester credit limit will also incur a tuition charge.) Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Policy Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit an Academic Petition. Internship Registration Registration of internships for credit consists of the following steps:  Students must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience. 52  Obtain the Internship Registration Form from the Registrar’s Office webpage and complete the steps to obtain the required signatures. o Complete Site Supervisor Agreement form and Position Description: Submit the internship site supervisor information and approved job/internship position description through an online form on the Strommen Center website. o Faculty Signature: Requires finding a faculty member willing to supervise and approve the internship based on major discipline requirements. o Department Chair Signature: Requires approval that the proposed internship experience meets the major discipline requirements. o Internship Coordinator or Director of Career and Internship Services Signature: Requires attendance at an Internship Orientation session offered by the Strommen Center OR an individual meeting with the Internship Coordinator or Director in the Strommen Center to review important college-wide internship information and ensure all required documents have been submitted. Once the completed internship registration form is submitted to the Enrollment Center, additional requirements for internships for credit include:    Complete a Learning Agreement Plan (available electronically on the Strommen Center webpage) and receive approval of the learning goals from the faculty supervisor responsible for grading the experience. The online form is sent to the Strommen Center and copies are sent to the faculty supervisor and student. Academic assignments (journals, reflection papers, etc.) as determined by the faculty supervisor and/or department guidelines. Complete final evaluations (sent out electronically at the end of the semester). The student and the site supervisor will each complete an evaluation of the student’s internship experience. Results will be sent to the faculty supervisor and student. A complete step-by-step guide on requirements for internships for credit is available on the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work webpage. Independent/Directed Study Registration To register for an Independent/Directed Study, complete and submit the Independent/Directed Study Registration form with signatures of the faculty member responsible for the grade and the chair of the appropriate department Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. For drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Crossover Registration (This policy is approved for the 2016-2017 academic year and is subject to review for the 2017-2018 academic year.) Undergraduate students are enrolled in a home program (DAY, AU, ROCH, WEC) and may register online for fall and spring semester courses outside of their home program based on course availability and subject to the restrictions listed below by program. Students have registration priority in their home program. Students are charged the tuition rate of their home program for crossover courses. DAY Program Students - Are permitted to crossover into WEC courses. - Juniors and Seniors (based on earned credits) are permitted to crossover into AU courses without special permission. - Pay the overload fee for any credits over 19 in their combined DAY/WEC/AU load each semester. AU Program Students - Are permitted to crossover into DAY and WEC courses. 53 ROCH Program Students - Are permitted to register for AU and WEC courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait until Crossover Registration begins. WEC Program Students - Are permitted to register for DAY and AU courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait until Crossover Registration begins. Graduate Courses Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. Exceptions are made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing, the joint BA Accounting/MAL program, and advanced undergraduate writers approved to take ENL510 in the Master of Fine Arts program. Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay their standard undergraduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay their program's graduate rate of those courses. Grading and Evaluation Explanation of Grades The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via AugNet Records and Registration. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit grading system. The following is an explanation of undergraduate grades: Grade 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 FN P N V W I X Explanation Achieves highest standards of excellence Achieves above basic course standards Meets basic standards for the course Performance below basic course standards Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course), student stopped attending Represents work at 2.0 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 Pass/No Credit Grades Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned:   In order to receive a grade of P, a student must meet the basic standards of the course and/or achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. 54    Maximum number of semester credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P). P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 56 traditionally-graded semester credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. To be eligible for graduation with Latin honors, students may elect P/N grading for no more than eight semester credits. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading option must be made according to deadlines published in the Academic Calendar each semester. Incomplete (I) Grades Incomplete grades (I) are to be given only in the case of extreme emergency (i.e. illness, family emergency, death in the family, military commitment). If you have any questions regarding the qualifying emergency please contact the Registrar’s Office for verification. 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 submit a completed Application for Incomplete Grade form to the Registrar's Office by the grading deadline for the semester. This form 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 filing of a grade by the grading deadline of the following academic semester. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic semester, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one semester. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first semester of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the semester in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Withdrawal (W) Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade and before the last day to withdraw. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of FN, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned for the most recent attempt, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. 55 Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time Day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 18 credits. The charge to audit a course is $1,000 for parttime DAY/AU/ROCH/WEC students. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with 0.0 to 4.0 grades assigned. Assessment of Student Learning The faculty at Augsburg College are actively engaged in research about student learning and the efficacy of the curriculum. To support such assessment of student learning activities, faculty may collect student work for evaluation beyond grading. Any information or student work collected will be treated confidentially; the student's identity will not be public information. Students who do not want their work collected for assessment purposes can opt out by contacting Dr. Amy Gort, Dean of Arts and Sciences. Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of semester credits completed. Classification Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Completed Semester Credits 0 – 27.99 28 – 59.99 60 – 91.99 92 or more Academic Status Changes Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by completing a Change of Program form. Applications are reviewed by a committee. If approved, the change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to once each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in failing grades on their official academic record. If necessary, students should instead submit a Withdrawal from College form. A Withdrawal from College form may be obtained on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The deadline to file a Withdrawal from College is the last Friday prior to finals week. Withdrawal from College and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students must be re-admitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form is also available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Students are responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of their current mailing address while away. 56 Leave of Absence (DAY Program Students) Students in the Day Program may apply to for a Leave of Absence for one semester. The Leave of Absence allows continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Records and Registration. If a student on a Leave of Absence does not register for the subsequent semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission form in order to re-enroll. The Leave of Absence program is not available to Day students who withdraw from all courses while their courses are in progress. Term Off (AU/WEC/ROCH Program Students) Students in the AU/WEC/ ROCH Programs may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. Students must submit an Academic/Financial Petition and provide a copy of their orders to the Registrar’s Office. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the Registrar’s Office will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or to work out an incomplete agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refunds adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the Registrar’s and/or the Office of Academic Affairs as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee is a standing committee of the College that reviews requests for exceptions to academic and financial policy. Representatives from the faculty, Registrar’s Office, Student Financial Services, and Student Affairs serve on the committee. Academic / Financial Petitions Students who wish to request exceptions to academic and financial policies should carefully review and complete the Academic/Financial Petition. Petitions must be submitted within 6 months of the semester being petitioned. The Committee typically meets to review petitions and Applications for Readmission every other week during fall and spring semesters and once each month during the summer semester. Academic Dismissal Appeals Students who have been academically dismissed have the right to appeal their dismissal to the Student Standing Committee. Applications for Readmission Students seeking to re-apply to the College after being placed on academic probation or after being academically dismissed must submit an Application for Readmission. 57 Catalog Applicability Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg. Second Majors and Degrees Students with an existing baccalaureate degree from Augsburg or another institution may enroll to complete an additional major(s) or minor(s). Students will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded (BA, BM, BS). Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn both a BA in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Science, but may earn a BS in Computer Science and a BA in Computational Philosophy. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Registrar’s Office and is based on a student’s official transcript(s). College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmental-remedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on an individual basis. The Registrar’s Office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their academic and faculty advisors and the Registrar’s Office before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. Additional resources about transferring credit are available on the Registrar’s Office website. MnSCU Transfer Students Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 100). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 100), and will waive one of two Health and Wellness requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C– or better. Transfer courses that equate to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer program, the AA degree and MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic advisor in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C– grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. 58 Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 52 or more semester credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below:     Waiver of Search for Meaning II Waiver of Augsburg Seminar Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis Waiver of one Health and Wellness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. Transfer Credit for Military Experience Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Registrar’s Office for transfer credit evaluation. A military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and courses completed in the US Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines. Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy records maintained by JST: jst.doded.mil Air Force records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process. Graduation Requirements The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Each student is required to file an Intent to Graduate at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Faculty advisors, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the Registrar’s Office staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Registrar’s Office about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar’s Office in order for the degree to be conferred. There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record. Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB) Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. 59 Advanced Placement Program (AP) Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests developed by the College Board that are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. DSST Exams DSST Exams are a series of standardized tests in college subjects that are comparable to the final examinations in undergraduate courses. Exams are offered at testing centers worldwide for a small fee. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages These tests assess written and/or spoken proficiency in world languages. For a small fee, students can assess their level of knowledge in world languages to earn college credit and/or waive the modern language requirement. More information about eligibility and qualifying languages is available from Academic Advising. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:     There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is not computed in the GPA, and there is a charge per exam of $100 per semester credit. Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Registrar’s Office. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria:      There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit granted by portfolio review is not computed in the GPA. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. 60 Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of 32 credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the 32 credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. Graduation Requirements Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence. 1. Completion of 128 semester credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 128 total semester credits required: o Eight semester credits by independent/directed study o 16 semester credits of internship o 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P) o To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than eight elective P/N graded semester credits. o Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than eight semester credits with P grades toward a major and no more than four semester credits with a P grade toward a minor. 2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum—Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed under the Augsburg Curriculum section. 4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certificate programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence —A minimum of 32 semester credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no fewer than 24 of the last 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) credits are counted against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of credits that are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the departmental pages of this catalog for further information. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a bachelor’s degree. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors Program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa Cum Laude Magna Cum Laude Cum Laude 3.90-4.00 GPA (plus successful completion of the Summa Oral Examination) 3.80-3.89 GPA 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than eight elective pass/no credit graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only with P/N grading will not be counted). 61 For additional information, including the guidelines for the summa cum laude oral examination visit the Registrar’s Office webpage. Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic achievement. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. One commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program. The second ceremony is for graduate program students and undergraduate students in the Adult Undergraduate and Rochester programs. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring semester; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall semesters immediately following commencement. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Requirements At the end of each fall, spring, and summer semester, the College will review the academic progress of all non-degree and degree-seeking undergraduate students registered for that semester. In order to remain in good academic and financial aid standing, students are required to maintain a cumulative Augsburg College GPA of at least 2.0 and cumulative credit completion rate of at least 66.67%. Credit Completion Rate Calculation  Attempted credits: Includes transferred credits and unsatisfactory grades (W, X, 0.0, FN, N, IP). o Remedial and repeated courses do not count as attempted credits, so should be subtracted from the total number of attempted credits.*  Earned credits: Includes transferred credits and satisfactory grades (0.5 - 4.0, P).  Divide earned credits by attempted credits (do not round numbers up or down) o Example: 19 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .7037 or 70.37% o Example: 17 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .6296 or 62.96% Warning Students who do not meet cumulative standards will be placed on Warning. At the end of the next semester attempted, students meeting cumulative standards will be removed from Warning. If cumulative standards are not met, the student’s semester term GPA and completion rate will be evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.25 term GPA and 66.67% term completion rate and completing all other Warning requirements (www.augsburg.edu/acskills) will be placed on Probation. If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended. Probation Students on Probation must meet cumulative standards. At the end of the next semester attempted, students meeting cumulative standards will be removed from Probation. If cumulative standards are not met, the student’s semester term GPA and completion rate will be evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.25 term GPA and 66.67% term 62 completion rate and completing all other Probation requirements (www.augsburg.edu/acskills) will remain on Probation. If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended. Students on Warning or Probation who voluntarily withdraw from college may apply for readmission. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review their application for readmission. For more information about Warning and Probation requirements, visit www.augsburg.edu/acskills. Suspension Students on Warning or Probation who do not meet cumulative and term standards will be suspended from the College. Students may appeal their Suspension to the Student Standing Committee. Instructions for appeal are included in the Letter of Suspension. Students who have been suspended may apply for readmission after one full academic year (including fall, spring, and summer semesters). At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission. Augsburg College reserves the right to intervene with students who earn less than a 2.0 and 66.67% in a semester but are otherwise meeting cumulative standards. Professional Program Dismissal Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as social work, education, and nursing. A student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is available at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide. Dean’s List The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, recognizes undergraduate students for outstanding achievement during the term. Students can qualify for the Dean’s List in two ways:   Earning a semester GPA of 3.50 or higher based on 12 or more traditionally-graded credits Earning a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher based on 6-11 traditionally-graded credits Incomplete courses and other classes without final grades at the time the Dean’s List is compiled will not be considered. The Dean’s List is published on Inside Augsburg and students can choose to submit announcements to their hometown newspapers. Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 2300 Dulles Station Blvd, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.studentclearinghouse.org Phone: 703-742-4200 Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for VA education benefits. Veterans and eligible spouse and dependents should consult with the VA School Certifying Officials in the Registrar’s Office and Student Financial Services about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of 63 educational assistance funds received. Additional information about veterans’ education benefits can be found at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill. 64 Augsburg Core Curriculum Augsburg College is dedicated to educating students intellectually, physically, and spiritually. To live fully and act effectively, humans must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come, as well as the world in which they live. Through providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the core curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of human knowledge and our world. “Search for Meaning” courses invite students to explore vocation, diversity, and pluralism through the study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and encourages students to consider their own religious, philosophical, and ethical commitments in dialogue with other perspective. The Language courses introduce students to the skills and sensibilities necessary to cross cultures and work across difference. Wellness courses offer students opportunities to develop skills and habits of healthful living. Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes The College’s mission statement offers a series of educational values: 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. As part of this mission, Augsburg’s faculty have identified a set of outcomes for student learning These areas reflect our shared commitment to offering a vibrant liberal arts education in tandem with career preparation and vocational discovery. We expect students to achieve these outcomes cumulatively, through the completion of the core curriculum, majors / minors, electives and co-curricular experiences. As Informed Citizens, students are learning to …  engage their communities and demonstrate a sense of agency to create change in ethical and informed ways  explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local and global contexts As Thoughtful Stewards, students are learning to …  critically engage their own beliefs and articulate their gifts and goals for meaningful life and work in a pluralistic context  identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways As Critical Thinkers, students are learning to …  use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate competing claims  construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other formats As Responsible Leaders, students are learning to …  employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments  articulate and solve problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways 65 Overview of the Curriculum The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in college-level classes. The general education requirements include a liberal arts foundation, signature courses and experiences, skills development, and a keystone. Entry Level Placement Tests Math, Writing, English (if applicable), and language placement for Language courses. The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg First Year    Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project The Augsburg Signature Curriculum    Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning I and II Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone The Liberal Arts Foundation     Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Electives Majors Skills The Augsburg Curriculum is designed to help students develop the skills necessary for successful careers and fulfilling lives, including:           Writing Critical Thinking Oral Communication Information Literacy Quantitative Literacy Religious Literacy Problem Solving Intercultural Competence Civic Agency and Engagement Health and Wellness Entry Level Placement Tests Prior to their first registration, students will complete entry level skills assessments in:   Mathematics Writing 66   Language Placement and, if applicable, English Language Learning First-year students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later who require developmental/entry-level courses must complete these courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete all required developmental/entry-level courses by the end of their third term. The developmental courses subject to this policy are:     ENL 101 ENL 111 / HON 111 / ENL 112 ENL 217 / 218 MAT 103 / 105 Entry-Level Mathematics For a strong start at Augsburg, students will take entry-level exams to determine their math placement group (MPG.) In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising -- students are encouraged to study for the exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the Math Placement Exam. Students in Math Placement Group (MPG) 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Entry-Level Writing A writing sample is required of students to determine placement in an appropriate writing class. In some cases, students who have transferred an equivalent English composition course from another college or Advanced Placement English Language and Composition with a score of 4 or 5 may have placement determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other students must take the Writing Placement Test, which is administered by Academic Advising. Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. Students are required to complete Effective Writing (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students who need to develop competence in composition skills are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) before taking Effective Writing. These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111/112/HON 111). Modern Language Assessment Students with proficiency or experience in French, German, or Spanish complete an assessment to determine placement in Augsburg's modern language courses. Students begin their exploration of modern language at the level identified by the placement test. This online assessment is administered by Academic Advising. Placement assessment for American Sign Language and Ojibwe is administered by faculty representing those specific languages. English Language Learners Assessment Students whose primary language is other than English will complete an assessment to determine preparedness for classes taught in English. Results of this assessment determine placement in English Language Learner course(s). This assessment is administered by Academic Advising. 67 Core Skills Requirements Effective Writing Students must pass ENL 111 - Effective Writing, ENL 112 - Advanced Effective Writing, or HON 111 - Honors Effective Writing with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, or transfer in an equivalent course. Attendance at the first day of class is required. Language For students who have not previously studied a second language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement into French, German, and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Details are available from Academic Advising. Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed. Assessment is used for placement only and does not result in credit. Students may audit, but will not receive credit for any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies may review and sometimes override assessment results as deemed appropriate. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement will receive credit for the Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. Health and Wellness Two health and wellness courses are required. WEL100 - Foundations of Wellness (formerly HPE001) is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different WEL102 – Recreational Wellness (formerly HPE002) courses. Students may test out of the WEL102 course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected Recreational Wellness activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the Recreational Wellness Activity Proficiency Test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that:    Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills Calls for common inquiry into questions of faith and the search for meaning Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world The curriculum has three major components:   Liberal Arts Foundation Signature Curriculum 68  Skills Development The Augsburg First Year To smooth the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar and Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. Embedded in the first-year Augsburg Seminar experience, Engaging Minneapolis introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, and/or service-learning. Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see Core Skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication among diverse writers and readers. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning Guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, the Search for Meaning courses encourage inquiry, welcome diversity, wrestle with life’s complexities, and engage the world. Two required courses (REL 100 plus a Search for Meaning II course) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to developing religious literacy and nurturing students to think critically about the concept of vocation. Students from all faith traditions will find a generous spirit of hospitality in these courses. Whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but not religious,” these courses promote respect and understanding across faith traditions. All religion courses engage with the concept of vocation and an understanding that we are called to live and serve as neighbors. REL 100 explores the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. The Liberal Arts Foundation The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology. 69 Humanities Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100 and 200) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. If a student opts to take another approved upper-division REL course to fulfill the Search for Meaning II requirement, it may not count toward a Humanities LAF. Fine Arts Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theater. One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following:    Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115) Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121) Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141) Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education— vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. In this course, students reflect on the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Many Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. Electives A student must complete a minimum of 128 semester credits in order to graduate. If the Core Curriculum and Major requirements do not reach 128 semester credits, the student may take electives for credit in any subject area to reach the minimum credit requirement. Majors For major requirements, see the appropriate departmental page(s) of this catalog or consult the department chair. Graduation Skills An Augsburg education aims to develop certain key skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, writing and information literacy are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill incorporates both foundational mathematical skills and the application of those skills. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning courses. See the appropriate departmental page(s) in this catalog or consult the department chair for more information. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. 70 Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver:              Actuarial Science (St. Thomas) Biology Biopsychology Chemistry Elementary Education Exercise Science Health Education (teaching licensure only) Mathematical Economics Mathematics Music Therapy Nursing Physical Education (teaching licensure only) Physics Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver:          Actuarial Science (St. Thomas) Biology Biopsychology Chemistry Mathematical Economics Mathematics Music Therapy Nursing Physics 71 Majors and Minors Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Students are required to declare a major upon completion of 48 semester credits, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the departmental pages of this catalog. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation. Minors completed after a bachelor’s degree is awarded are noted on the transcript. Below is a complete list of majors, minors, and emphases. Listings that are in bold type are offered through both the Day Program and the Adult Undergraduate (AU) program. Students are encouraged to discuss scheduling rotation of major courses with their faculty advisors.

A student-designed major allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisors, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisors from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisors must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisors’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes:  A statement of learning goals and objectives  A list of proposed courses (minimum of 36 semester credits, no more than one of which is a lower-level language course, and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Clair & Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled.  A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken some time during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisors. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisors must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisors presumes their approval of the capstone course.  Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the Office of Academic Affairs. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisors regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with advisor approval. ACTC Majors Full-time Day students may complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major or Minor Declaration Form to the Registrar’s Office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the ACTC school advisor. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance determined by the major department. 74 Students choosing an ACTC major will need to work with an advisor at the other campus to plan course schedules so that the student is making progress towards the degree. Students should know that registration for ACTC courses can be limited and are advised to submit registration materials at the earliest possible time. 75 Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, or pharmacy can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg. It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty advisor is available in each field to assist students in their planning. In addition, the Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunities (URGO) office includes a Health Science Advisor who works directly with students pursuing health care fields. Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year to arrange for faculty advising. List of Pre-Professional Programs  Pre-Health Science o See Biology Departmental page  Pre-Law o Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of American Law Schools. Pre-law students major in disciplines of their own choosing; most law school entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score.  Pre-Pharmacy o Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL 111, 220; MAT 145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in behavioral sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121. Requirements at other universities may vary.  Pre-Seminary o A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several different majors, such as history, philosophy, English, psychology, sociology, or religion. Recommended preparation includes REL 100, 200; at least two semesters of history (Western civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy; and Greek in the junior and/or senior year. The Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation provides resources and support, including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary. 76 Academic Organization and Departments As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the following undergraduate degrees:    Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Music Bachelor of Science Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. Every incoming student is assigned both a faculty and staff academic advisor. In this close interaction, faculty act as mentors for students, and the staff advisor primarily guides course planning. Course Descriptions Course descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. Course descriptions can be found at our Course Description Search. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Internships and Independent Studies Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering for credit is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional requirements that are noted in the course description. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. Internships 198 – Internship/On-campus 199 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits) A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. 396 - Internship/On-campus (4 credits) 397 - Internship/Off-campus (2 credits) 398 - Internship/On-campus (2 credits) 77 399 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits) A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. For some majors, participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off-campus 397/399 internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.) Directed and Independent Studies 299 - Directed Study An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. 499 - Independent Study/Research An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. Academic Year All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with fall, spring, and summer semester lengths ranging from 14-16 weeks. In Augsburg’s Day Program full-time students normally take 16 credits per semester. Day Program students are able to take courses from the other four Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities during fall or spring semester. Adult Undergraduate (AU) classes typically meet on the same night of the week, Monday through Thursday for threeand-a-half hours, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon,” and “Silver.” Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Students may take up to 18 credits per semester. Weekend and Evening College (WEC) classes typically meet on alternate weekends. There are seven to eight face to face class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester, and classes meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may take up to 18 credits per semester. Rochester (ROCH) campus classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. There are seven to eight class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester with each class meeting for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may take up to 18 credits per semester. Courses and majors offered through AU/ROCH/WEC are equivalent to their Day Program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Course Offerings In general, most courses are offered at least once per year unless otherwise indicated. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an advisor to ensure that all requirements can be met. Note: Not all courses are offered in all programs. Refer to AugNet Records and Registration for information on when specific courses are offered. 78 Credit Hour Definition Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method. Numbering Courses numbered 100 -299 are classified as lower division. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the online Course Description Search as prerequisites. While it is not recommended, a student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Effective Writing (ENL111) and math placement prerequisites cannot be waived by the instructor. Students may be dropped from a course they have registered for if they do not earn a satisfactory grade in the prerequisite for that course in the preceding semester. Divisions and Departments The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes: Fine Arts and Humanities American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, English, History, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies, Music, Philosophy, Religion, Theater, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, College librarians.

Because biology is such a broad field, the biology program at Augsburg emphasizes integration across many sub-disciplines, including molecular, cellular, organismal, evolutionary, and ecological biology. Additionally, the biology program at Augsburg coordinates with the mathematics, chemistry, and physics programs to ensure that our students acquire the necessary knowledge to fully understand biological phenomena. Augsburg’s Biology program is designed to provide students with the opportunities to (1) understand the fundamental knowledge of the discipline, (2) know how scientific knowledge is generated and disseminated, (3) effectively communicate scientific information in written and oral forms, (4) be proficient in common biological lab techniques, and (5) demonstrate professionalism in the sciences. Additionally, Augsburg has a strong commitment to undergraduate research, both on and off campus. There are a variety of opportunities to work on research projects with Biology faculty and subsequently present your research at regional, national, and international meetings. Graduates of our Biology program follow many different paths. Most of our graduates use their undergraduate major in Biology as a springboard for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies leading to careers in post-secondary teaching, basic and applied research, and public health or have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. In addition, many of our students go directly into the workforce as laboratory technologists and teachers.

Chemistry has been described as the central science because matter includes the entire physical world, such as the things we use, the food we eat, and even ourselves. Correlating the insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas that excite and offer opportunities to benefit the entire world. Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their work, including potential problems as well as benefits. Chemists as people must be broadly educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as offered in the general education curriculum are imperative if a chemist is to be both truly human and truly scientific. Augsburg’s Chemistry department is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a Chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields. Consonant with these ideals, the Chemistry Department has established the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists:     To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS Chemistry major to compete successfully with their peers of similar ability in graduate school or research positions, as well as professional goals other than traditional positions as chemists. To provide an atmosphere of learning so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may change after graduation, and be able to move into new areas as opportunities arise. To encourage students to take a broad view of their education and to integrate outside study areas with the sciences. To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example of the methodology of the natural sciences in examining the world around us. The presentation of major concepts underlying the changes in matter, the opportunity to examine change in the physical world, and the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will enhance the ability of non-science persons to make better value judgments concerning science questions in their own endeavors.

Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. The department offers six majors: Economics, Applied Economics, Mathematical Economics, Business and Economics, Computational Economics, and Economics and Political Science (Education majors only). The Economics major and the Applied Economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. The Mathematical Economics major is designed for students who intend to attend graduate school in economics or another quantitative field such as finance or operations research. It is also designed to serve students to work in quantitative fields immediately upon graduation, e.g., research analysts or actuaries. Computational Economics provides a liberal arts entry into the field of computer science. The combined Economics/Business Administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in Political Science/Economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and make choices. An Economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, and private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider Economics as a major or a minor. Students are able to combine an Economics major with other disciplines such as Business Administration, International Relations, Mathematics, Management Information Systems, Political Science, History, and area study programs. Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively-oriented graduate program in economics or in business are encouraged to either major or minor in Mathematics. These students should also take courses in Computer Science. Consult an advisor for specific course suggestions. For the Economics and Applied Economics majors, the capstone experience is ECO 490 - Research Methods in Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their advisor for alternatives. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the Strommen Center before registering for an internship for academic credit. Note: Transfer students must complete at least three upper division economics courses for a major and two for a minor. Transfer classes must have been completed in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0 grade.

Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence and allows us to frame human events within diverse world views. Those who study English typically believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. At the same time, the English Department’s emphasis on writing helps our students to clarify and share their thoughts. English relates closely to other majors. Like the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. Like psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. Like philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. Like science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. Like speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. Like history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. Augsburg’s English Department integrates its programs with cultural opportunities available in this vital urban area. Plays, films, and readings are available near the campus, often within walking distance. English majors also have opportunities to use and refine their skills by working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language Learner (ELL) students, or tutoring in the Writing Lab. Students who complete an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses. English Faculty Dallas Liddle (Chair), Stephan Clark, Robert Cowgill, Cass Dalglish, Douglas Green, Sarah Groeneveld, John Schmit, Lindsay Starck, Kathryn Swanson, Mzenga Wanyama, Cary Waterman Degree and Major Requirements Choosing a Concentration Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of three concentrations: literature, language, and theory; creative writing; and secondary licensure in communication arts/literature. While some of our courses explicitly address theoretical approaches to literature, especially those that examine race, class, and gender, all of our courses infuse these concerns in their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, film, and drama. All literature classes involve students in multiple forms of literary examination and are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing—skills of the educated and employable citizen. English Major with a Literature, Language, and Theory Concentration The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration provides students various approaches to the study of the written word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and enable the discovery of new literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and postcolonial literatures reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. The Literature, Language, and 137 Theory concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, Theater, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. This concentration requires nine courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 including: ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts At least two 200-level literature courses as prerequisites for upper division courses in English. No more than two 200level literature courses may count for the major. At least five 300-level courses, with one each in British literature, American literature, and world literature. At least one 400-level course. Any 300-level course serves as a prerequisite for the 400-level. Minor in Literature, Language, and Theory Five courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 are required, including: ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts Four literature, language, and theory courses, three of which must be upper division courses. English Major with a Creative Writing Concentration The English Creative Writing concentration helps students develop professional writing skills by focusing their efforts in the creative modes: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, playwriting, and screenwriting. Over the course of the major, students master terminology; engage the field’s aesthetic and ethical issues; and read and study the works of established writers. The creative writing concentration expands competencies in observation, research, and analysis that enable writers to gather and interpret material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work; it attends particularly to the artistic aspects of the writer’s craft, such as form, affect, and revision. English majors in Creative Writing engage the interdisciplinary demands inherent in literary endeavors, including issues of design, and enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities inherent in the writing life. Creative Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors, who are themselves practicing writers. The writing concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with Art, Communication Studies, and Theater. To complete this concentration students must take 10 courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112, including three literature, language, and theory courses. At least one of these must be at the 300-level or higher. ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts ENL 226 - Introduction to Creative Writing ENL 320, 321 - Fiction One, Fiction Two or ENL 322, 323 - Poetry One, Poetry Two ENL 420 - Advanced Studies in Writing (Keystone) ART 215 - Introduction to Web Design or ART 201 - Introduction to Graphic Design One elective from: ENL 227 - Journalism ENL 228 - Broadcast and Online Journalism ENL/FLM 229 - Screenwriting ENL 320 - Fiction One ENL 322 - Poetry One ENL 324 - Creative Non-Fiction ENL/THR 325 - Playwriting I ENL 396 - Internship in Teaching Writing 138 ENL 397/399 - Internship An approved ACTC creative writing course Minors in Writing A minor with an open emphasis requires five writing courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112, including at least one course from the 200-level and two from the 300-level. A minor with a creative emphasis requires five writing courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 and must include ENL 226, and at least three upper division creative writing courses, two of which must be a 300 two-course writing sequence. Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure Major The Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure concentration is for students who seek to be licensed to teach communication arts/literature in Minnesota. Students are encouraged to take courses toward their major during the first and sophomore years and to apply for the education licensure program no later than the spring of their junior year. Students in both programs must work with advisors in the English Department and the Education Department in order to meet the professional requirements within the Education Department as well as the requirements for the major. Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be achieved through an English major, which requires at least two additional, specific courses, or through a communication studies major. Prerequisite: ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 Major Requirements (eight courses in English): ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing ENL 240 - Introduction to Literary Study ENL 365 - Contemporary Post Colonial Fiction ENL 380 - Introduction to the English Language ENL 396 - Internship in Teaching Writing One upper division ENL British literature course One upper division ENL American literature course One additional ENL literature, language, or theory course chosen from ENL360, 361, 362, 367, 368, 371, 385, 394, 410, and 430 Experiential Requirement (no credit): One college-level experience required in forensics, debate, newspaper, literary journal, or related activity (subject to departmental approval) Additional Courses (outside the English Department): COM 111 - Public Speaking COM 254 - Interpersonal Communication COM 351 - Argumentation One of COM 120, COM 243, or POL 342 Special Methods (two courses): ESE 350 - 5-12 Methods: Literature and Reading ESE 351 - 5-12 Methods: Speaking and Listening Additional ESE and EDC courses are required for licensure. See the Education Department section for a listing of secondary education licensure requirements. In addition to consulting your designated ENL advisor, contact an Education Department advisor for information about education courses. 139 Graduation Skills Graduation Skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill is met by completing the following courses: GST 200, MAT 163, MAT 164, or PHY 119 Departmental Honors GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall; submit proposal to department chair by early October in senior year for department approval. Submit and defend paper before faculty committee. Honors project may receive independent study credit (refer to departmental guidelines). Transfer Students Note: Transfer undergraduate English majors must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer students who minor in English must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer English education students with a BA in English from another college must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg (preferably upper division courses). These courses must be taken before the department can recommend a student for student teaching. The English Placement Test A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111). Note: Students should register for ENL 101 during the first semester of attendance if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111 should be completed, if possible, during the first year. Students in Developmental Writing (ENL 101), Effective Writing (ENL 111), HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional grading system or P/N grading in consultation with their instructor up through the last week of class (without special permission/petition). Service Courses The department offers these service courses for students as required by a placement test. Literature, Language, and Theory Courses The 200-level courses in the literature, language, and theory track of the English major develop foundational competencies in reading and interpreting literary texts, and provide opportunities for diverse literary discovery. These courses require ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 as a prerequisite or co-requisite. Upper Level Courses The 300-level courses in the literature track in English concentrate on primary texts in historical and cultural contexts. These courses ask students to practice interpreting literary texts by employing techniques, terminology, and research methods of the discipline, resulting in effective and substantive expository writing about the subject. Unless otherwise indicated, students must take ENL 220 or 221 (see writing courses), or one 200-level literature, language, or theory course, or gain consent of the instructor as a prerequisite. 140 The 400-level literature, language, and theory courses emphasize scholarship, criticism, and theory, and ask students to write and speak professionally about literary texts. Any 300-level literature course or permission of the instructor serve as a prerequisite for the 400-level. One 400-level course must fulfill the keystone requirement. Writing Courses Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold their place in the course. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 141 Environmental Studies Environmental Studies is the interdisciplinary investigation of human relations with the natural world. The program pursues a multifaceted examination—across the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional studies— of the interdependence shared by people and nature. It provides an understanding of the material world as well as the ecological, social, and cultural processes and problems that bind that world together. Through the study of politics, biology, literature, chemistry, social work, economics, communications and history, Environmental Studies students focus on the most pressing local, regional, national, and global issues of our day. Augsburg College’s location in the city offers a particular opportunity for the close study of complex urban environments. Although many equate environmental issues with rural areas, most people live in cities. Urban residents shape nature in innumerable ways, including through energy, food, and water consumption; transportation; and industrial production. In turn, cities often serve as the settings in which environmental injustice flourishes. With that in mind, Augsburg’s Environmental Studies program fosters the simultaneous study of ecological quality and social justice. The program provides undergraduate training leading to a BA or a minor in Environmental Studies. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to comprehend ecological processes, recognize the many and varied forms of nature in the city, distinguish stakeholders’ interests in policy debates, decipher the context and variety of human experiences in nature, identify inequities in the access to and use of natural resources, and articulate responses grounded in multiple disciplinary insights to current urban environmental challenges. Drawing on their experiences in settings as diverse as the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the upper Mississippi River Valley, and Mexico, graduates of the program pursue vocations in nonprofit organizations, government policy and planning positions, law and graduate school, education, ministry, and corporate settings.

This is an inter-college program with course offerings at Augsburg College, Hamline University, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas. Courses are drawn from many disciplines and combine theoretical, practical, and research components that focus not only on gender, but also acknowledge that race, class, and sexual identity are crucial aspects of women’s experiences. The Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies program offers both a major and a minor, and provides students with academic preparation for careers in human services, education, and social work as well as graduate study.

The distinguished medievalist J.R. Strayer expressed it this way: “No community can survive and no institution can function without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common experiences that makes scattered individuals into a community.” The study of history enables us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and change in society. The construction of an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be active and contributing members of their society. The study of history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate study in many fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing of information. History Faculty Michael J. Lansing (Chair), Phillip C. Adamo, Jacqueline deVries, William Green, Maheen Zaman Degree and Major Requirements History Major Nine courses, including HIS 280 and HIS 480. At least four of these courses must be upper division. A major must have at least one course (either survey or upper level) from each of the four areas: ancient and medieval, modern Europe, United States, and non-Western. History Area Courses     Ancient and Medieval: HIS101, 102, 360, 361, 369, 370, 374, 378, or HUM120 Modern Europe: HIS102, 103, 282, 348, 352, or 354 United States: HIS120, 121, 122, 225, 234, 236, 241, 242, 243, 249/349, 300, 316, 331, 332, 335, 336, 338, or 343 Non-Western: HIS104, 140/440, 150/350, 155/355, 162/462, 323, 327, 346, 357, or 474 Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT) graduation skill is embedded throughout the offered courses and is met by completing the major. Speaking (S) and Writing (W) skills are also developed throughout the major, but are given special emphasis in the following courses (both required for majors): S: HIS 480 W: HIS 280 and HIS 480 The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill may be fulfilled by taking HIS 369, GST 200, MAT 145, MAT 146, MAT163, or PHI 230. Teaching Licensure The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. Minor Five courses, at least three of which must be upper division. 152 Departmental Honors GPA of 3.6 in the major and 3.0 overall; except in special instances, application before the end of the first term of the junior year; two years of a foreign language at the college level (or its equivalent); an honors thesis (equal to four credits) to be defended before a faculty committee. Other Requirements First-year students should enroll in one or more 100-level courses. 200-level courses are normally reserved for sophomore or upper division students. Upper division courses are numbered 300 and above. Prerequisites Satisfactory completion of a lower division course (100- or 200-level) is normally required before enrolling in an upper division course (300- and 400-level). See instructor for permission to waive prerequisites. Transfer Students Transfer students planning a major must normally take at least three of their courses at Augsburg including HIS 280 and 480. A minor normally requires two courses taken at Augsburg. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 153 Honors Program – HON Introduction The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu, (612-330-1560) or Phil Adamo, Honors Program director, at adamo@augsburg.edu. Honors Program Recognition Students who complete the Honors Program requirements receive special transcript notation, special graduation recognition, résumé-building positions, and special access to academic advising and career options. Honors Admission Requirements and Academic Scholarships Students with a demonstrated record of achievement are eligible to enter the Augsburg Honors Program. Prospective students may demonstrate achievement in a variety of ways. Most students who are admitted have a composite ACT score of 27 or higher (or a combined SAT score of 1250 or higher), and a high school GPA of 3.50 or higher. However, students without these numeric requirements may be eligible if they have exceptional records of extracurricular activity or other exceptional experiences. All students are encouraged to apply. To apply, students should fill out the online application at www.augsburg.edu/honors. Students applying for the Honors Program also automatically apply for the College’s highest academic scholarships: the President’s, Honors Regents’, International President’s, and Hanwick/Agre Scholarships. Qualifying Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College in the Schools, and Postsecondary Option courses may satisfy Honors Program requirements, and/or be granted College credit. Contact Academic Advising or the Honors Program director for further information. Students may enter the Honors Program at any point in their academic career, so long as they have the time left to complete the 28 credits needed to satisfy the Honors requirements. This usually means by the start of their junior year. All Honors students must complete the three required, 4-credit courses (HON 120, HON 130, and HON 490), and the junior colloquium (HON 340). Honors Program Requirements   All Honors student must complete the college’s General Education core requirements, including REL 100, REL 200, ENL 111, and two Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) courses in each of the four disciplinary areas (Humanities, Fine Arts, Social and Behavioral Science, Natural Science and Mathematics). Unless exempt, Honors students must also fulfill the foreign language and physical education requirements. Some Honors courses, both required and elective, may also satisfy Gen Ed requirements. Students should use this circumstance to their advantage where it helps them toward degree completion. For example, students may take 154    HON 100, HON 200, or HON 111 to fulfill the Gen Ed requirements met by REL 100, REL 200, or ENL 111, respectively. At the same time, exemption from certain Gen Ed requirements does not mean exemption from Honors requirements. For example, students may be exempt from the Humanities LAF, but this does not make them exempt from taking HON 130-Liberating Letters, which all Honors students must take, usually in their first year. All Honors students must complete 28 credits in Honors to meet the Honors requirements for graduation. Students may transfer up to 8 credits from another institution toward their total of 28 Augsburg Honors credits. Transfer credits may come from AP, IB, PSEO, or other courses, through pre-established reciprocity agreements, participation in a chapter of the PTK community college honors society, or a portfolio of leadership activities. All transfer credits are subject to the approval of the Honors director. (This effectively means that some students may only take 20 Honors credits at Augsburg.) Honors Co-Curricular Activities Honors Houses All Honors students must belong to an Honors House for the purpose of receiving academic advising and program information. All Honors students are required to attend mandatory meetings of the Honors Program or of their houses. These meetings are necessary for advising, information, and governance. When students enter the Honors Program they choose to join one of the four Honors Houses:     The Crockett Scholars House coordinates scholarship, research, fellowship, major award or prize opportunities, and graduate school placement for all Honors students. Crockett House also organizes events related to scholarship, such as College scholarship events. The Pike Stewards House coordinates public relations, job placement, and fundraising opportunities for all Honors students. Pike House also organizes events for alumni and fundraising. The Griffin Citizens House coordinates recruiting, social activities, admission and scholarship applications, and the Honors website opportunities for all Honors students. Griffin House also organizes events for recruiting and socializing, such as banquets, parties, and high school recruiting trips. The Hesser Servants House coordinates service-learning, social justice, experiential learning, and political activity opportunities for all Honors students. Hesser House also organizes related events, such as Honors service days and Augsburg experiences. Augsburg Honors Review Students manage, edit, write, and publish an interdisciplinary journal of undergraduate scholarship. The Review accepts submissions from students at Augsburg and other colleges and universities around the nation. Student Leadership Opportunities Students elected to leadership within their Honors House may serve as house presidents or serve in other program leadership positions. The house presidents sit on the Honors Student Presidents Council and make critical decisions about program courses and resources. Student-Created Learning Experiences (SCLE) Honors students may learn through established courses or through student-created learning experiences. These student-created experiences may substitute for Honors curricular requirements, or may simply enrich a student’s education. Such student created experiences may count toward requirements in majors and satisfy Honors requirements, or simply be an elective course. Student-created learning experiences may take almost any form. Some possible forms include:   Student-created courses (created in collaboration with faculty) Full course (10-20 students) 155    Reading Groups (29 students) Individual Reading and Examination (individual study) Student/Faculty Research (may be one or many students) Process: A student-created learning experience may be proposed by any Honors student or by any Augsburg faculty or staff person. The interested student should speak with either an Honors Council member or the Honors Program director. Next, a proposal should be drafted in accord with the Honors student-created learning experience form. Finally, the proposal should be submitted by the student to the Honors Program director who will carry the proposal to the Honors Council for review.

Through interdisciplinary programs and courses, students can gain greater insight and understanding of cultures and perspectives different from their own. Augsburg offers a number of majors that are interdisciplinary in nature. They include:      American Indian Studies Environmental Studies Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (ACTC) International Relations Urban Studies Information about these majors and their requirements can be found in their respective departmental pages. Other interdisciplinary course offerings are listed under International Programs. Culture and Social Justice Minor The Culture and Social Justice minor is an interdisciplinary program committed to engaging students with the histories, struggles, knowledge, and agency of marginalized groups throughout our global society. Drawing on the diversity of current and past voices from the Augsburg neighborhood, the minor connects local and national efforts to larger global struggles for justice. The program explores the interplay of experiences that form and reform the current landscapes of globalization, including Indigenous origins, diaspora, immigration, the impact of colonialism, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism, cross-cultural and multicultural integration, and cultural thrivance. The interdisciplinary character of this minor helps students develop professional skills for working across cultures and disciplinary audiences, enhances writing and speaking skills for multicultural audiences, and provides preparation for the increasingly diverse and globalized marketplace. Coordinators Andrew Aoki and Elise Marubbio Minor Requirements A total of six courses – one introductory course, four cluster courses, and one capstone course – are required. No more than two classes from the same department can count toward the minor. At least 2 courses must be upper division. No class can fulfill a requirement in more than one area.

The student may focus on a discipline or geographic area of the world. The program consists of a core of seven courses and six electives chosen from a wide list of offerings at Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged to consider foreign study opportunities; most of our majors do study abroad at some point during their time at Augsburg. Competency in one foreign language is required, and some students study two languages. All majors complete a significant senior research project and thesis on a topic of their own choosing, such as immigration, conflict resolution, economic development, or climate change. The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international studies with considerable freedom to choose options for specialization. Students often combine this major with a second major in History, Political Science, International Business, or a foreign language. Numerous combinations of majors and minors are possible with the international relations major.

The department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, and Spanish, as well as an interdisciplinary major in Cross-Cultural Studies. Introductory courses in Latin, Norwegian, Ojibwe, Farsi, and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Ancient Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese are available to Augsburg students through Augsburg’s four partner-institutions in the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines. Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies Faculty Michael Kidd (Chair), Sarah Degner-Riveros, Randy Gresczyk, Diane McDonagh, Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg, Kate Reinhardt, Joseph Towle, John Van Cleve Degree and Major Requirements Language Major CCS 100 - Introduction to Cultural Studies 9 courses above 211 including: One course in literature KEY 480 - Topics in Global Interdependence A semester of study abroad (15 weeks) is required Students are expected to take as many courses in the target language as possible. Other than CCS 100 and KEY 480, any course taught in English must be approved by the advisor for credit toward the major. Cross-Cultural Studies Major The Cross-Cultural Studies major consists of three core courses, a language requirement, a study-abroad requirement, and three electives, as specified below. Core courses: CCS 100 - Introduction to Cultural Studies CCS 399 - Internship KEY 480 - Topics in Global Interdependence Language requirement: Minor in French, German, or Spanish or completion of the 212 level in two different languages. Placement waivers of the core skill in languages do not fulfill any part of the language requirement for the Cross-Cultural Studies major. Heritage speakers must earn credit by examination for 212, if following the two-language path, or complete the coursework for a minor in available languages (consult Academic Advising for testing in less commonly taught languages). Study-abroad requirement (consult Augsburg Abroad for offerings): 166 One semester (15 weeks) on an approved study abroad program or two short-term international study experiences approved by the department Electives: Three upper-division courses in related areas. Courses must be chosen in consultation with the student’s academic advisor and must include comparative study of a non-English speaking culture. Seminars, independent study, topics courses, and courses at other colleges and universities can be considered here. No more than two courses may be counted from a single department. Graduation Skills For all majors, the Critical Thinking (CT) graduation skill is embedded throughout the offered courses and is met by completing the major. The graduation skills in Speaking (S) and Writing (W) are met by completing CCS 100 and KEY 480. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill is met with one of the following courses: GST 200, HIS 369, MAT 145, MAT 146, MAT 163, MAT 164, NUR 410, PHI 230, PHY 119, POL 483, or the QR from a second major. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Language Minor Four courses above 211 Students are expected to take all courses in the target language. Any course taught in English must be approved by the advisor for credit toward the minor. Departmental Honors Majors seeking graduation with departmental honors must apply to the chair of the department in their junior year. Requirements include a 3.50 GPA both in the major and overall, and an honors thesis written in the target language. Prerequisite Any prerequisite must be completed with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P. Transfer Students Transfer students intending to major or minor in languages must take a minimum of one upper division course per year at Augsburg. See major/minor above for limits on non-Augsburg courses. Courses accepted for transfer must have been taken within the past seven years. Study Abroad A semester of study abroad (15 weeks) is required for Language majors, and some study abroad is strongly recommended for minors. See advisor for guidelines on portfolio documentation of coursework taken abroad. Majors in Cross-Cultural Studies must complete a semester abroad (15 weeks) or two short-term international study experiences approved by the department. Internships An advanced-level internship in the major language (399) or an interdisciplinary internship (INS 199) that links language skills with community service and career exploration may be arranged pending faculty availability. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 167 Mathematics Mathematics is the study of structure and relationships and provides tools for solving a wide variety of problems. Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education. Students majoring in Mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, Mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason abstractly; to conjecture, critique, and justify their assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and comprehend precise mathematical writing; to speak and write about mathematical ideas; and to experience working in teams on mathematical projects. Students can prepare for graduate school, for work in business, industry, or nonprofit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in grades K-12. Students majoring in many disciplines find it helpful to acquire a minor or a second major in Mathematics. Students may choose coursework supporting the study of Mathematics as a liberal art (through the BA degree) or choose a more focused program of courses (through the BS degree). BS focus areas include theoretical mathematics, statistics, teaching mathematics, and the application of mathematics to science and engineering, actuarial science, computing, business, or economics. Augsburg’s urban location allows students to gain experience working with mathematics through internships, service learning, and the colloquium course. Augsburg students can also choose to complete a major in Actuarial Science at University of St. Thomas, offered through ACTC.

Math Placement Group (MPG) Before enrolling in any Mathematics course and many other courses that have Math Placement prerequisites, students must have the required Math Placement. All students are required to have their Math Placement Group (MPG) determined. MPG measures student’s current skill in and understanding of Basic Math (MPG 2), Algebra (MPG 3), Precalculus (MPG 4), and Calculus I (MPG 5). Students who have taken the ACT test within the last five years are assigned an initial MPG based on their mathematics subscore, illustrated below. Students who have recently completed a mathematics course at another college or university are assigned an initial MPG by the Registrar’s Office as part of Transfer Credit Evaluation, if the course covers Basic Math, Algebra, Precalculus, or Calculus. Students who receive a grade of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Exam in Calculus (AB or BC) are assigned MPG 5. Students are allowed to take the Math Placement Exam to determine if they should be placed into a higher MPG than their initial placement. In particular, students whose initial placement is MPG 1 or MPG 2 are expected to take the Math Placement Exam. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) sessions for first-year students, and before new student registration appointments for transfer and AU students. Other times can be scheduled on an individual basis. Students are also permitted to retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first semester of enrollment at Augsburg College. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Students in MPG 1 take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 may take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. 172 ACT Math Subscore Initial Math Placement Required Math Placement Exam 18 and below MPG 1 Basic Math; Algebra 19-21 MPG 2 Algebra 22-23 MPG 2 Algebra 24-25 MPG 3 No exam needed 22-25 and successful high school precalculus, trigonometry, or calculus MPG 3 Precalculus (if seek MPG 4) 26+ and successful high school precalculus, trigonometry, or calculus MPG 4 No exam needed Prerequisites A course must be completed with a grade of 2.0 or higher to count as a prerequisite for a Mathematics course. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 173 Medieval Studies The objective of Medieval Studies is to introduce students to the culture of the Middle Ages—its diverse history and beliefs, its arts and literature—and to the disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills necessary for its serious study. The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world. As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies prepares students for life beyond college. Because of its emphasis on precise reading and analysis of texts, careful writing, and spirited discussion, the major in Medieval Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, critical and abstract thinking, and processing information. Medieval Studies Faculty Michael Kidd (Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies, Program Director), Phillip C. Adamo (History), Kristin M. Anderson (Art), Mark L. Fuehrer (Philosophy), Douglas E. Green (English), Beliza Torres (Theater), Merilee Klemp (Music), Philip A. Quanbeck II (Religion), Martha E. Stortz (Religion), Mark D. Tranvik (Religion), Hans Wiersma (Religion), Maheen Zaman (History) Degree and Major Requirements Major Eleven courses, including: Six core requirements: HUM 120 - Medieval Life in 12th-Century Europe LAT 101 - Beginning Latin I LAT 102 - Beginning Latin II HIS 369 - The Early and High Middle Ages HIS 370 - The Late Middle Ages to 1648 HUM 490 - Keystone: Medieval Studies Project One of the following literature courses: ENL 330 - Shakespeare ENL 332 - British Literature: Renaissance and Reformation ENL 360 - The Classical Tradition ENL 361 - The Medieval World SPA 352 - Survey of Spanish Literature I One of the following religion or philosophy courses: HIS 378 - Medieval Church PHI 242 - History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy REL 362 - Martin Luther and the Reformation One of the following history of arts courses: ART 386 - Medieval Art ART 387 - Renaissance and Baroque Art MUS 231 - History and Literature of Music I THR 361 - Theater History and Criticism I 174 Two electives from the following courses: HIS 374 - Medieval Crusades HIS 440 - Topics in World History: Monks and Heretics POL 380 - Western Political Thought SPA 331 - Spanish Civilization and Culture Any literature, religion/philosophy, or history of arts courses not already taken may be taken as electives. Graduation Skills Graduation skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. HIS 369 meets the Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Language Requirement Students must take one year of college-level Latin as part of the major. In addition, students must take one year of a college-level, modern language in which medieval scholarship is published (e.g. Spanish, French, German, Norwegian, Arabic; NOT American Sign Language). This second language will fulfill the Modern Language Core Skills requirement. Augsburg Experience As with all majors, an Augsburg Experience is required for graduation. For the Medieval Studies major this might include study abroad, or internships at the University of Minnesota’s Rare Books Collection, the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, or the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Prior approval of advisor is required for all Augsburg Experiences related to Medieval Studies. Minor Five courses, including HUM 120. The remaining four courses must be in different disciplines, as grouped above (history, literature, religion/philosophy, and history of arts). For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 175 Music The Music Department at Augsburg College offers professional music training in the context of a liberal arts curriculum through three degrees and five music majors. It also offers a variety of music courses and ensemble experiences that are available to non-music majors, and meet Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Augsburg’s location in the heart of a major artistic center makes it an ideal place to study music, and the Music faculty seek and encourage opportunities that connect the campus and the greater arts communities. These opportunities allow students to explore the links between theory and applied knowledge and may take many forms, including internships; community performances; Music Therapy practica; community-based learning projects; required off-campus performance and concert attendance assignments; or travel and study within and outside the United States. The Music Department is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).

Such work could include, but is not limited to, one of the following: defending a senior thesis, presenting an additional recital, composing a substantial piece(s), conducting a program, presenting a research paper, or some combination of any of the above. Consideration for departmental honors requires a clearly written proposal that includes a project title, a transcript, and a brief music résumé to be submitted to the music faculty by November 1 of the senior year with outlined plans to complete the project by spring break of the senior year. Piano Proficiency All Augsburg Music majors are required to have basic piano skills that are either demonstrated by passing MUS 238 or by meeting the standard required by the Piano Proficiency Test offered at the end of each semester. Students come to Augsburg with a wide variety of prior training and experience in piano, and therefore can elect to develop their piano skills and prepare for the proficiency test in several ways. Students with extensive training may be able to simply pass the test; those with some training may register for private piano lessons; the majority of students are advised to take a piano placement test that determines their appropriate placement within a sequence of four class piano courses (MUS 135/136/237/238) designed to teach the skills of the piano proficiency test. To maximize student learning, it is strongly recommended that piano training is started during the first year, when piano study will complement and strengthen the student’s experience in the music theory and aural skills curriculum. Consult the Music Student Handbook for piano major and non-piano major requirements and test dates. 183 Music Repertoire Tests These four tests are intended to encourage students to become lifelong listeners by requiring students to familiarize themselves with many of the masterpieces of the classical music repertory from the Middle Ages to today. Consult the Music Student Handbook for the lists of pieces required by all four repertoire tests and the call numbers for the repertoire test CDs at Lindell Library. Each academic year a specific repertoire test is offered twice: once at the end of the fall semester, and again at the end of the spring semester. Music majors are required to pass three music repertoire tests, transfer students must pass two, and Music minors must pass one. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 184 Natural Science Teaching Licensure The Natural Science licensure program is designed to combine a strong content focus with early and ongoing teaching preparation courses that meet Minnesota licensure requirements. Courses are designed to provide a broad background in science and allow for specialization in an area. The following programs assume that the student will meet the distribution/general education requirements of the College, the requirements for appropriate majors, required education courses (see Secondary Education requirements), and, in the physical sciences, have at least one year of calculus. Early consultation with the Education Department (in your sophomore year) is essential to complete undergraduate major and licensure requirements on a timely basis. Content Liaisons Ann Impullitti, Sandra Olmsted (Chemistry), Ben Stottrup (Physics) Degree and Major Requirements Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog.

No longer do nurses practice only in hospitals, they are moving into communities, corporations, parishes, schools, rehabilitation centers and long term care facilities, as well as into their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses are making a difference in community health and well-being by providing comprehensive health care for diverse groups of persons across the lifespan. The BSN program at Augsburg prepares nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of nursing. Educational opportunities are provided that challenge students’ interests and engage their creativity as they increase skills in critical thinking, speaking, writing, ethics, nursing theories, community assessment, leadership, decision-making and the role of citizen nurse. Classes that combine short-term immersion experiences of study both at home and abroad are woven into the BSN curriculum. Students are invited to participate in these exciting endeavors as they are able. Augsburg’s BSN program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate through the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Department of Nursing Faculty Martha Aleman, Katherine Baumgartner, Kathleen Clark, Kaija Freborg, Cheryl Leuning, Virginia McCarthy, Kristin McHale, Joyce Miller (Chair), Anna Sanchez, Deborah Schuhmacher Staff: Sharon Wade, Linden Gawboy Degree and Major Requirements Nursing Major, BSN Seven 4-semester credit hour courses, including: NUR 300 - Trends and Issues in Nursing NUR 305 - Communication NUR 306 - Paradigms in Nursing NUR 403 - Families and the Life Cycle NUR 410 - Community Health Nursing I NUR 411 - Practicum: Community Health Nursing II NUR 490 - Leadership/Management A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and a cumulative major GPA of 2.5 are required. Students also must complete Augsburg’s residence and general education requirements. Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the required courses in the Nursing major and are met by completing the major. Students petitioning to transfer in upper division nursing courses from another institution to meet requirements in the nursing major at Augsburg must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these graduation skills. 188 Other Information The BSN program has been planned so that courses in the nursing major can be completed over 16 months of full-time study taking two courses per semester. Students can pursue their studies as quickly as 12 months taking three courses per semester, based on personal choice. Students will be assigned to a nursing faculty adviser to develop a plan of study. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of liberal arts (general education) courses individual students need to complete the BSN degree and the number of credits each student transfers to Augsburg College from other colleges or universities. Students in Nursing may take non-nursing courses in both the Day and Adult Undergraduate programs. Students interested in pursuing the Nursing major should consult with BSN admissions staff in the Admissions Office for assistance applying. Admission to the Nursing Major In addition to meeting admission requirements for Augsburg College, admission to the Nursing major requires the following:          Completed application Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in one’s basic nursing program Unencumbered RN license–applicant must be a registered nurse who is licensed and currently registered to practice in Minnesota prior to beginning the Nursing major Evidence of HIPAA training Up-to-date immunization records Criminal background check (details provided in application process) Special conditions: Students may be provisionally admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Augsburg due to a cumulative GPA of less than 2.5 in their basic nursing program. Full admission to the program requires students to achieve a GPA of 3.00 or better in two liberal arts courses at Augsburg before being fully admitted to the BSN program. Students may apply to Augsburg College prior to completion of their degree program. However, all BSN program admission requirements must be met prior to matriculating into the BSN program at Augsburg. Credit for Previous Nursing Courses Registered nurses (RNs) transferring into Augsburg College’s BSN completion program will be granted 28 semester credits in recognition of their previous lower division nursing coursework if the following standards are met:   Prior nursing education in the United States is taken in an associate degree in nursing (ADN) program or a diploma in nursing program. Both must be state board-approved programs. Nursing coursework taken outside of the United States is submitted for evaluation to the World Education Services (WES), an agency approved by Augsburg College to evaluate foreign transcripts. Reports should be sent directly to Augsburg College. In addition, nursing coursework must be verified for authenticity by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Applicants must request CGFNS (www.cgfns.org) to forward the educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, and who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Students who change their major and transfer out of the BSN completion program will lose the 28 semester credit block grant and their transfer credit evaluation will be reassessed. The 28 semester credit block grant will be applied toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing only. *Beginning Summer 2017, registered nurses (RNs) transferring into Augsburg College’s BSN completion program will be awarded up to 34 semester credits in recognition of their previous lower division nursing coursework 189 Options for Completing the Degree Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a Nursing degree. Courses in the Nursing major are generally offered on weekday evenings with practicum courses (NUR 410 and 411) requiring additional weekday time. Generally, nursing classes meet on alternate weekday evenings for four-hour time blocks. Online instruction and activities occur between face-to-face class times. Optional immersion courses and practicums at home and abroad are scheduled throughout the year. Check with the Department of Nursing for details. It is recommended to work with an academic advisor for advice on liberal arts courses. Nursing majors can complete courses toward the bachelor’s degree at the Minneapolis campus and at the Rochester learning site. Transfer of Upper Division Nursing Courses BSN students who are provisionally accepted into the Master of Arts in Nursing program at Augsburg may enroll in up to three designated MAN courses, which can be used to fulfill elective credits in the BSN program as well as fulfill credits in the MAN program. Note that these graduate courses may not transfer into another college or university as graduate courses if they have been used to complete the BSN; Augsburg College, however, accepts the courses as also fulfilling requirements in the MAN. The three graduate Nursing courses plus the practica include the following: NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing and Self Care (3 semester credits) NUR 532P - Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credit) NUR 541 - The Politics of Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit) (see current class schedule for practicum offerings) Note: Students who decelerate for more than five years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is a fee to audit courses. Departmental Honors Admission to the honors major requires a GPA of at least 3.60 in the major and 3.30 overall, application to the department chair by November 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and an honors thesis to be presented before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement. Latin Honors To be eligible for Latin honors, a student must meet minimum GPA standards as well as complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than eight elective pass/no credit graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted, nor will N grades). For further information, see the Latin Honors section in Academic Information. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 190 Philosophy Philosophy, in an important sense, is the most fundamental of the disciplines. All sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, philosophy is concerned with asking and answering the “big” questions that are the most basic. For example: Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the best? What is knowledge and what are its sources? Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by the study of philosophers from the past and present. The Philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some Philosophy majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, religious ministry, or journalism. Philosophy Faculty David Apolloni (Chair), Markus Führer, Eric Helleloid, Marit A. Peterson Degree and Major Requirements Philosophy Major Eight courses including: PHI 230 - Logic or PHI 385 - Formal Logic and Computation Theory PHI 241 - History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy PHI 242 - History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 343 - History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century Philosophy PHI 344 - History of Philosophy IV: 20th-21st Century Philosophy A 400-level Philosophy course (other than PHI 499) Two elective courses in Philosophy Four courses must be upper division Note: The Philosophy department at present does not offer a keystone PHI 499 course of its own. We recommend that majors take the keystone course offered in the Religion Department, or (in the case of double majors) in the department of the other major. Graduation Skills Graduation skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill can be met by taking PHI 230. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Language requirement The Philosophy Department has no specific language requirement besides the one of the College, but it recommends for Philosophy majors Greek, Latin, French, or German, at the discretion of the faculty advisor. Major in Computational Philosophy In addition to a major and minor in Philosophy, the Philosophy department also offers a cross-disciplinary major in conjunction with the Computer Science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts 191 perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See Computer Science for more information. Departmental Honors Admission to the Philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the Philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student’s choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department. Philosophy Minor Five courses, including two from: PHI 241 - History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy PHI 242 - History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 343 - History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century Philosophy PHI 344 - History of Philosophy IV: 20th-21st Century Philosophy For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 192 Physics Physicists are a curious and ambitious lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called “natural philosophers,” physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration. A good background in physics (and the associated problem solving skills obtained therein) will prepare you well for a multitude of careers. Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and the need to keep abreast of rapid technological advances, the department strives to give students not only an understanding of basic concepts, but also insights into recent developments. A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for further study and enable students to follow new developments in science with heightened awareness and comprehension. The department administers Augsburg College’s portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, funded by NASA. It also maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences and the Sverdrup Laboratory for Biophysics, with support from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and other private and public sources. Several students work as research assistants in these efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative education, internship, and undergraduate research programs provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. The study of psychology equips students to understand and use the scientific method to think creatively and critically beyond the classroom. To prepare students for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a strong foundation in research and theoretical work with the application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research experiences, and internships within the community. The curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential dimensions of learning and the integration of liberal arts and professional domains prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social services, research, law, government, religious institutions, and medicine. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling, physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning experiences including group and individual projects, Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student research teams.

But try to define it, and words get tangled in the varieties of religious expressions, systems, and cultures. Personal perspectives and experiences also come into play. They create different and even conflicting opinions about the value and place of religion in the 21 century. st But while religion is deeply personal, it is seldom private. It impacts everyone, from the most committed believer to the most convinced atheist. Because of the significance of religion in the public sphere, the guiding theme of the Religion Department at Augsburg College is “Religion and Public Life”. We welcome all students to explore the role of religion:     In their own lives by asking how their beliefs, values, and commitments inform their place in society; When considering their own career choices in service to the world through religious institutions and organizations; To gain knowledge and competency in relating to the religious beliefs, practices, and cultures of others whom they will engage in their future professional and social contexts; For a deeper understanding of religion’s impact – past and present – in the world they inhabit. All these avenues of exploring religion in public life express Augsburg’s mission to educate students “…to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” In addition, the department’s commitment both to students and to working for justice in the world reflects the College’s history and its ongoing engagement with the faith and values of the Lutheran church. As a part of its work, faculty in the Religion Department guide students to explore and articulate their beliefs and to discern their calling to work for the common good in all aspects of life. Since the religion major requires only eight courses (32 credits), students should consider earning a major or minor in another discipline. Those students considering seminary or graduate studies should take one sacred texts course, one theology or history course, and one course in global religions. The Religion major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently—skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools and employers. Faculty Mary Lowe (Chair), Lori Brandt Hale, Russell Kleckley, Matthew Maruggi, Jeremy Myers, Philip Quanbeck II, Marty Stortz, Mark Tranvik, and Hans Wiersma Majors The Religion Department offers two majors: Religion (REL) and Youth and Family Ministry (YFM). Prerequisites REL 100 is a prerequisite to all other courses. Transfer Courses All transfer courses for majors and minors, including ACTC courses, must be approved in writing by the chair. Only courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. In general, courses that meet the transfer guidelines may only be applied to elective credit for the major. Advising All majors must have an advisor in the department. Departmental Honors GPA of 3.50 in the major and 3.00 overall, research project approved by the department, and colloquium with the department. Application must be received by the department by December 30 of the student’s senior year. 206 Religion A Religion major provides a strong foundation in the liberal arts and prepares students for professional work and graduate studies in a wide range of fields. Since the major requires only eight courses (32 credits), students are encouraged to double-major in a related field. Students considering seminary should take two Bible courses and one course in theology or church history. Students planning on graduate studies in religion ought to complete one Bible course, a world religions course, and the Philosophy of Religion course. A Religion major also provides strong preparation for graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, church history, and related fields. The major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently—skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools. Degree and Major Requirements Religion Major, BA Eight courses (32 credits) including: REL 210 - Research Methods in Religion REL 495 - Religion Keystone Six additional electives (24 credits) Note: Keystone, especially for majors, should be taken in the junior or senior year.

The bachelor of social work degree awarded will allow you to be successful in your chosen areas of social work practice and prepared to work in multicultural settings. Students graduating with a Social Work major will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in social work and are eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. Over ninety-five percent pass the exam on their first attempt. Students interested in a graduate degree in social work (MSW) are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work program. The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program, reducing the number of credits needed. Both the undergraduate and graduate Social Work programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. For more information about the MSW program, consult the Graduate Catalog.

Social Work Study Abroad Opportunities The Augsburg BSW program is a leader in international education for its students. All majors are encouraged to study abroad at some point in their college career. Through The Center for Global Education, the BSW program offers an award-winning semester study abroad program in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Students in the spring semester of their junior year study social work in Mexico and finish their degrees on time. The Social Work department also offers a rotating selection of faculty-led, short courses to countries such as China, Slovenian, South Africa and India. Social Work Course Sequence Social Work Entry Level Courses The Social Work major offers three ways to begin the BSW degree: SWK 100 is for those students interested in the breath of the profession; SWK 210 is for students whose interest is in environmental issues and social change strategies; and SWK 230 is for students interested in international social work and global issues. All three courses are equal as introductions to the major. All three courses feature an experiential learning component. Students volunteer 40 hours in a human service agency, program, or institution. The placement is selected by the student, approved by the course instructor, and supervised by agency staff. These courses are also open to non-majors. The department also offers a course in human diversity, SWK 280, which is to be taken after the entry level courses. Social Work upper level courses (300s and 400s) are taught in a two-year sequence. Courses are taught once a year. The senior keystone is SWK 417: Field Work 4: Integrative Seminar. Consult the BSW Program Manual for the degree courseschedule flowchart. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 213 Sociology Sociology is the scientific study of society and social interaction in groups. Our examination of human social organization provides the opportunity to improve the world we have created and in which we live. The sociological perspective provides an important way to critically understand how human beings come to think and act as they do in a variety of social contexts. The goal of the Department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of social processes and the social order, how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their lives and vocations. Sociology majors develop an understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. The Department urges students to use Augsburg’s metropolitan and international settings as a laboratory for learning. Internships enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Students also may take an independent study, special topics course, or field study toward that end. The major in Sociology has equipped our alumni to understand and function more effectively in the social world as professionals, citizens, and persons, providing the necessary knowledge base and analytical, writing, and critical thinking skills. Augsburg alumni who have majored in Sociology are currently employed in the nonprofit sector, research positions, human resources positions in both government and private corporations, the criminal justice field, and as professors of sociology. Others have used the major as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, human services, social work, urban planning, and the ministry. Sociology Faculty Lars Christiansen (Chair), Nancy Fischer, Garry Hesser, Diane Pike, Tim Pippert, James Vela-McConnell Degree and Major Requirements Sociology Major Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an excellent undergraduate major that applies to a number of fields from human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The foundation of the major at Augsburg is that it provides a clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the major, and integrates and reinforces a challenging set of important skills; those skills include abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, basic research, integration of theory and data, and the connection of the individual and collective perspectives in the unique way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students. The electives allow students to choose courses that add other skills related to areas of career interest. The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper division courses from the specified list below: Core courses: SOC 121 - Introduction to Sociology SOC 362 - Statistical Analysis SOC 363 - Research Methods SOC 485 - Sociological Theory SOC 490 - Senior Seminar and Keystone Electives courses: Five SOC electives, at least three of which must be upper division courses (Prerequisite: SOC 121). Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or higher in each required course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in the major, and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the major. 214 Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements. Interest Tracks In order to focus preparation for careers and further study, the Department offers interest tracks within the major. These interest tracks are: City and Community; Crime and Deviance; Law; Organizations; and Social Psychology. Interest tracks guide majors in selecting elective courses in a way that tailors their sociological training, experiences and skills. Working with an advisor and following the guidelines and recommendations provided at the links below, Sociology majors can design a pathway through the major that directs them toward careers or graduate work in criminal justice, law, organizational development, public relations, social services, and urban studies. Students who are interested in pursuing an interest track should discuss this with their advisor or the Sociology Department chair. A full description of each interest track may be found at the Sociology Department website, www.augsburg.edu/sociology. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. Departmental Honors To complete departmental honors in Sociology, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the major and overall. See department chair and website for specific requirements. An application for departmental honors/graduation with distinction must be completed by spring of the junior year. Minor Five courses including SOC 121 and at least two upper division courses taken at Augsburg College. Students are required to have a 2.0 or higher in SOC 121 and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the minor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 215 Theater Theater is an ever-changing field that is important to understand in cultural and societal context. In our courses, productions, recitals, and artist series, the study of theater embraces both classical and new forms, examines global and local perspectives, and encourages in-depth creative exploration. Students are challenged to deepen their critical thinking abilities and to master professional skills while also exploring new approaches to theater through their studies in design, directing, performing, and playwriting. Students thoughtfully interrogate issues of cultural representation and diversity as they find and express their own creative visions. The program prepares them well to continue with their education and/or to become leaders in the field of theater and performance studies. The study of theater is firmly grounded in the liberal arts, integrating knowledge and principles from many academic and artistic disciplines, including literature, history, philosophy, religion, speech, art, music, and dance. Both the high quality curriculum and dramatic productions of our department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for students and the campus, while providing a solid base in classical, modern, contemporary, and multicultural theater. In order to encourage non-majors to become involved in our department, we offer six theater minors and welcome all Augsburg students to become involved in our productions. Augsburg’s location in the heart of a nationally recognized theater community makes it an ideal place to study theater. At Augsburg we seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theater artists and scholars by encouraging connections between our campus and the greater arts community, while also exploring connections between theory and application. Students have the opportunity to make these connections through course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist Series (an annual series of events featuring visiting theater professionals from the local community who work closely with students), and attendance at numerous professional productions throughout the Twin Cities. Augsburg productions are a valuable opportunity for students to enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional artists-in-residence. We value and regard theater productions as a critical and vital laboratory for student learning and training, and we hold our productions to the highest standards of the profession. Many of the skills acquired by Theater majors or minors are valuable and transferable to other professions: collaboration, verbal and nonverbal communication, organization, critical thinking, leadership, creativity, and selfexpression. Involvement in theater can help prepare students for successful careers in law, education, business, communication, journalism, and many other fields, as well as in professional or academic theater, television, or film.

Urban Studies brings many different perspectives to the study of urban life. It is an interdisciplinary major where students use the tools of sociology, political science, history, environmental studies, art and architecture to understand metropolitan areas in terms of complex relationships that contribute to opportunities and challenges. The major is designed with experiences that utilize the city as our classroom, demonstrating the interplay of urban design, policy, and lived experience. Coursework often includes walking tours, field trips, and field research. Augsburg College’s Urban Studies program emphasizes the themes of planning urban and suburban areas to be more environmentally sustainable, promoting the health and civic engagement of citizens, and ways to engage in effective citizen engagement. The Urban Studies major helps prepare students for careers and graduate work in community organizing, urban planning, public administration, environmental advocacy and sustainability planning, government service, social welfare and non-profit work, and architecture. All students participate in internships that reflect their career interests as part of their experience. Many students who major in Urban Studies often double-major in related disciplines such as Environmental Studies, Political Science or Sociology. If you’re interested in double-majoring, please consult the director of Urban Studies about how to best plan your academic schedule to accommodate both majors. Faculty Nancy Fischer (Director, Sociology), Kristin Anderson (Art), Andrew Aoki (Political Science), Lars Christiansen (Sociology), Keith Gilsdorf (Economics), Michael Lansing (History), and Joseph Underhill (Political Science).

It is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Since one course equals a full time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as thcy would for a four course load during Fall and Spring semesters. january 1985 S M T W T F S Calendar for Full Credit Courses ..................................................................................Interim Registration ............................................................................Late Interim Registration ..........................................................................................

POSTMASTER Volume 115, Number 4 Winter 1984 612/300-1001 AUGSBURG COLLEGE (USPS #490-310) is published four times a year in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter by Augsburg College, 731 21st Avenue South, Minneapolis, M N 55454. Second-class postage paid at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Essential Information One course is considered a full time load during interim and no student is permitted to register for more than one course credit during the period. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course. Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few interim courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of full time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one interim for graduation.) This Catalog This catalog lists courses by departments with departments listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the College for interim credit. Further descriptions and information about these courses are available in the lnterim office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the Lifetime Sports listed on the last page.

Room: O M 17 The Biology of Aging B I O 185-4504 Instructor: Robert Herforth At some time or another in our lives most of us will either directly experience aging or be influenced by people undergoing age-related changes. This course will concentrate on the biological aspects of such changes. What is the nature of these age-related changes?What factors influence the rate of aging? Do cells isolated from the body show aging? Is aging the result of deterioration of certain cells or tissues of the body? What are the current theories as to the biological basis of aging? Is aging controlled by a biological clock?These and other questions will be addressed in this course by means of classroom lectures and discussions of assigned readings. Evaluation will be based on several quizzes and exams given during the course. The idl log^ of ~~ricul'ture B I O 234-4505 Instructor: Roberta Lammers We will be taking a critical look at agriculture from the perspective of biology. What is the relationship of hunger and starvation to agricultural practices - is agriculture producing too little food for the world's population? What kinds of environmental effects have resulted from attempts to increase production in the U.S. and in the third world? What is the nature of hunger and malnutrition? What effect will biotechnology (genetic engineering, cloning, etc.) have on agriculture and agricultural production? Class periods will be a combination of lecture and discussion. Evaluation will be based on one test, class participation and a log of readings. Time: I .............. Room: S 31 9 Immunology BIO 386-4506 Instructor: Neal Thorpe A study of the immune system, emphasizingantibody structure and function, cell-mediated immunity, the development of the immune system, immunopathology, molecular recognition at cell surfaces as related to immune phenomena, and cancer biology and immunology. lmmunological and serological techniques will be considered and demonstrated. Lectures and discussions with grades based on examinations. Prerequisites: BIO 111, 112 Time: II Room: S 205 ............. Augsburg Goes to Business BUS 321 -4507 Instructor: Thomas Morgan This course is designed to provide students with exposure to a wide range of business functions through on-site visits to a variety of organizations in the Twin Cities, both large and small, private and public. The experiences will be oriented toward integrating what students have been exposed to in the classroom with practical issues which they will encounter on the job. Students will visit an average of three different situations each week and meet one day each week for discussion and lecture material. Evaluations will be based upon participation and a formal business plan which students prepare and present. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor Time: I ............ Room: O M 11 r Chemistr for Changing Times CHM 100 - 4 08 Instructor: Arlin Gyberg This is a non-laboratorychemistry course based on the very popular book by John H. Hill of the same title. It is not a traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science background. Basic science and math are introduced early and are taught as needed for understanding the various topics and implications. The course does assume the student is interested in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry to life and living. Chemistry has been intlmately a part of liberal education for centuries. The early scientlsts were coilsidered to be philosophers and their societies were phitosaphical societies. In recent decades [he human seeking of p e ~ a n a independence l lias led lo chemistry becornlng a pntt of everyday life to Ihe point nf aclual depenrlence on chemislry, We live in a world of pe~ticidps,fertilizers, plastics, "the pill," foot! additives ant1 pracessed lootl5, vitamin supplements. the energy crisis, chemical deper~dcncy,biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching lor life an other planets, genetic ~nanipt~lation, and it goes on and on. Ernottons and mental disorders can often be tracctl to chemical imbalan~e.The common dragged out, grumpy feeling after an allernoon nap is a resul! of a chemical imbalance. The nature of a liangover is the result of a complex system ol' altered body chemistry. Even learn~ng appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a "memory mo!~cule."Most of t h ~ problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better help us to ~~nderstand ourselves, our society, our world, and our tinlverse? Come join us as we take a rnolrcular look at the human condition. This course will be offered in a lecture/discussiun format. Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Quizzes and tests will be used for evaluation. This course does not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106, 116 or 223. Distribution: Chemistry-Biology Time: I.............. Room: S 315 Understanding International Trade and Finance ECO 360-4509 Instructor: Ed Sabella This will be a study of the underlying forces affecting the economic relations among nations. We will consider the development and bases of international trade, the balance of payments, the mechanics of adjustment and general commercial policies. Grading will be on the basis of examinations and possible other written assignments. Prerequisites: ECO 122 and 123 or permission of instructor Time: II..............Room: M 22 Elements of Mathematical Economics ECO 353-4510 Instructor: Satya Gupta In Business and Economics, development of analytical skills is imperative. This course will be designed to help attain this goal. Economics will be explained using mathematics as a tool. Examples from Finance, Management, and Marketing will also be solved. Evaluation will be through tests and assignments. Prerequisites: ECO 123 Time: II........... Room: O M 23 Teacher Education with New Boundaries EDE-413-4519, EDS 41 3-4520 Instructor: Lauretta Pelton This course will give the student the opportunity to expand his/her knowledge about teacher education and the schools in a chosen geographic area beyond Minnesota. The student is encouraged to do the greater share of research at the chosen location. This will include a specified number of days/hours to be spent in a school. This research will also help the student identify courses s/he can take to fulfill requirements of that locale, and to better prepare for that setting should s/he choose to live there. The student will research: 1. the professional and licensure requirements of the chosen state or country, its job market, salary scale and level of living. 2. the expectations in the school curriculum as identified by local and extended educational governing powers. 3. various education concerns such as teacher unions, cultural make-up of the schools along with related implications, testing-grading-promoting, etc. Should a student prefer to remain in Minnesota for a specialized study related to curriculum or school systems, that student will select an area of the elementary curriculum for intensive study as it is developed and implemented at all grade levels in a specific school district. The student will acquaint him/herself with: 1) the school's curriculum guide and resources for that subject area and 2) appropriate resources found outside that school system. As a result of this research the student will develop and complete one or more education projects which will be used in future teaching. All activities related to the project will be submitted in completed form. Because much of the course will follow the format of an independent study, each student will contact the instructor prior to December 15, to make known in writing the location of choice, specific objectives, strategies and evaluative procedures for him/her to fullfill the requirements of the course.

We will tlius have Ilie opporlunify to study the city of Paris in this century in some fullness, read some great literature, and develop our talents in the use of historical material. As a bonus we will double (maybe quadruple!) our enjoyment of a future trip to Paris. The course will be conducted in part as a lecture course and in part as a seminar (discussion of readings, short papers, and shared reports- all part of the evaluation). There will be a final exam. Distribution: History-Philosophy; Urban Concerns Time: II................Room: P 3 20th Century South Asia HIS 162-4537 Instructor: Don Gustafson This geographic area has produced the largest working democracy in the world today; from this people have come one of our century's greatest "saints" and also one of the most renowned statesmen; it is a standard example for population crisis and world hunger illustrations. South Asia is all this- and much more. This course is designed for the student who has interest but little or no background in nonwestern subjects-though others are also welcome. The heart of the course will be in a wide assortment of readings (some of them really excellent) but there will also be lectures, time for discussion and frequent breaks for slide presentations. Grades will be based on general level of participation, on some written work and probably a test.

Further, since the mlnd Is the prlnclpal directed !orce In human Mngs, wholeness Is directed by rhtt mind. Dlseese in a person can therefore be approached as a phenomenon that requires rhe respo,nse hat just of the whole v a n but under the dlrectfan of the mind, the human being can strive to cooperate with natum In the process of healing either diseases of the mind or the body. Westem and Eastern philasophles ask (he question, "How can one heal~oneself?'' and have evolved some startling a n w e k about prwpectlve, attitude, and knowledge of disease. In western healing, we now ask how our technaloglcal apptoach can be merged with personal healing. Shew concepts fall into a pattern, that when analyzed, reveals a power ode has over one's health.

New Spacp-Age data, much of it ignored or misinterpreted, is uncovered to show inadequacies and contradictions in cosmology, relativity, macroevolution, and their links to geology, biology, and the humanities. Space-Age alternatives are also presented to integrate the flood of news media with past knowledge. Class instruction and individual research will include study of the historical and modern impact of math-related cosmic models, and will note some misuses of mathematics which have elevated some "scientific speculation" into "scientific fact." A written research paper is required in one of six major areas discussed. Upper division students will show broader research scope and writing ability and will present extensive oral summaries of their papers.

Moreover, it is argued that these communities have provided stability and identity in the face of the dehumanizing tendencies in an industrialized and bureaucraticized society. This course will attempt to assess the extent to which the foregoing assertions might apply to ethnic neighborhoods in the Twin Cities. After some preliminary background sessions and readings, each member of the class will be asked, either individually or as part of a group, to explore a particular ethnic community in the Twin Cities and report back to the class. This class presentation and a final examination will be the basis of evaluation for the course.

The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3'12 weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. It is expected that students will attend every class period; however, each instructor will establish the precise attendance policy for hislher course. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either Upper or Lower Division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for Upper Division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for graduation. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 course credits required for graduation. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult the Registrar for the number of Interim courses required. Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two half-credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time (fall term). If less than full-time they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a cross registration but will be charged Day School tuition ($1,497) per course credit. If they do so they may take only 1.0 additional course credits in Weekend College for winter trimester. It is the policy ofAugsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices. Options International Interim-Students are invited to be part of one of the 25 international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE). These course opportunities are listed near the end of this catalog. Internships deadline-Friday, December 12. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental requirements and present a signed internship learning agreement plan to the Internship Office (Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the last day of fall classes (Friday, December 12). The learning agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the Internship and Cooperative Education'Office. Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students may elect a program of independent study (Upper Division 499) or directed study (Lower Division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements 2. Present to the Registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Registrar's Office. Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs can be consulted in the Registrar's Office. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4- 1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's genera1 education requirements. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,497 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Registrar's Office for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Residence Life Office. It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199,299,399 or 499 courses. Interim Calendar 1998 November 17 to December 5 . .........

It assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at least must be able to understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage, food additives and processing and synthesis, organically and non-organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and illicit drugs, the energy crisis and the debates about sources of energy, the greenhouse effect and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering and much more. Many of these problems are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about chemistry, via lecture and in-class discussion, we can begin to understand ourselves, our society, our world and even some of the universe. The grade for the course is based on a percentage of the total score of total points on the daily quizzes.

Quality life is defined by many people in terms of the amount of money one has. The more money one has, the more command on commodities one can enjoy. We work hard most of our lives to fulfill our dreams of having a large home, fancy car, boat, vacation home, education for our children and enjoyable retirement. We plan a great deal for all these dreams. It is surprising that we plan 30 or 40 years from now. It is also true that at some point in life one asks oneself "Who am I really?" and "What am I here for?" In this third component of the course we shall critically reflect on our values, ethics and self-understanding. Knowledge of the self leads us to a higher plane of thinking and behaving. Thus, we shall try to construct a well-balanced portfolio of quality life. Students will find the course very interesting, thought provoking and challenging. Grades will be based on three quizzes, one paper and discussions in class.

The class will balance two related goals: first, to experience and talk about as many contemporary Twin Cities cultural happenings as is practicable (we will search out and encounter the most exciting, controversial and significant programs in theater, dance, gallery exhibition, music and film); second, to examine critical methods of observation and reception of art and consider ways in which writers can enhance the public's understanding and interaction with artistic culture. Students will keep a critic's journal, write four short papers and take a final exam. Students registering under English 482 will have to develop a 10 page critical project in conjunction with one art event that occurs during the course's span.

For others, science and its associated technologies, along with its invitation to become a global world view, constitute a grave threat. This course will address these matters in two ways. First, it will begin with a historical overview of the relations between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods: the origins of the Christian faith, the development of "modern" science and mechanistic philosophy, and the reevaluation of science and nature in the twentieth century. Second, it will study systematically the world views of science and religion to see how they compare. Class time will be divided among lectures, discussions, small group tutorials and an extended simulation exercise in developing a space colony. Course evaluation will be based on two short exams, participation in small group tutorials based on assigned readings, a group project presentation and a major synthesis paper based on the group project and course materials.

What's the shortest route between two cities using scheduled flights? The term "discrete" refers to separate, distinct objects such as the whole numbers. Kenneth Rosen, a mathematician at Bell Labs, in the introduction to his text Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications, explains that ... discrete mathematics is used whenever objects are counted, when relationships between finite sets are studied and when processes involving a finite number of steps are analyzed. A key reason for the growth in the importance of discrete mathematics is that information is stored and manipulated by computing machines in a discrete fashion. The course is a rigorous introduction to discrete mathematics including topics such as sets, logic,,functions, recursions, combinatorics, elementary probability theory and graph theory (as in networks). Algorithmic thinking and mathematical reasoning is emphasized throughout the course. This course will be a useful and interesting complement to calculus and continuous mathematics. The course is intended for students pursuing a mathematics major or a computer science major with a mathematics minor. Students are expected to be at least a little familiar with theoretical mathematics and proof. No specific computer experience is expected.

Liberal Ads Perspective: Aeslhetics Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: 1 Room: Old Main 18 Spreadsheet Physics PHY 151-1 Instructor: Jeffrey Johnson Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 123, Excel) have been used extensively in business for years. However, it is also possible to use spreadsheets to solve physics problems without using high-powered mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the student who is not an expert in mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive level. We will use Excel to solve problems in a wide variety of physics areas including planetary and projectile motion. This is also a fun way to learn spreadsheets, which have become very useful in the home. Grading will be based on spreadsheet projects, homework and a final exam.

Students will develop and defend their own standards of social justice and use those standards to assess conditions in urban America. To pass this course, students must engage in a substantial exchange of ideas with fellow classmates in class discussions. The course has two goals: to develop student thinking about social justice, including greater awareness of conflicts between justice and other values and to increase student ability to understand urban problems as issues of justice and other central values. Evaluation will be based on participation in discussion and other class activities, on two short (4-6 page) papers and on a final exam. Because of the compressed time frame of the Interim schedule and the importance of material covered on the first day of class, no one will be admitted to the class who does not attend the first day of class, unless first receiving the permission of the instructor.

A comprehensive development program is in operation. AUGSBURG THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Offers a three-year course of study leading to a Bachelor of Theology degree. Located on the same campus as the college. Aims primarily to prepare pastors and missionaries for the Lutheran Church. General Inf ormatian HISTORICAL SKETCH AUGSBURG was begun as a seminary in 1869, at Marshall, Wisconsin. It was the first theological school founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known as Marshall Academy, the Seminary was at first housed in the academy building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. In the autumn of 1872 Augsburg Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. Its aim was to train ministers for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest. The College was established when it became evident that in order to get students who were adequately prepared for theological study a college department was needed. In 1874 a curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for other professions. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879. In 1900 a high schaaI course covering three years was estabkhed which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This was discontinued in 3833. In the years 1916-1919the mlIege course was thoroughly revised. A s a result of W w and of subsequent growth, the earlier clcsieal course was geatIy modified and suppIemmted bp social and ~ i e n t i f i cstudies and a more general emphasis upon the study nf she humanities. Tn recent rears there has been continuoas stud? and modification Q £ the curriculum including the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the developing needs of the ~tuderits. The divisional organization was adopted in 1945. At the present time 26 majors are offered. Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1922. 8 / General information Recent years, especially since the close of World War 11, have witnessed a greatly increased enrollment and a corresponding expansion of physical facilities both in campus area and in buildings. In the Theological Seminary there L s likewise been a continuing revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses to meet changing needs. The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added in 1939. A bachelor's degree or equivalent is the required scholastic preparation for admission. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the College continue to function in close cooperation and as integral parts of one institution.

STAR PHOTO Campus Life THEINPLUEKCES which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kind?. While rhe exercises of classroom, Iaboratary, and library f o m ~the organizing basis of college a c t i v i ~ ?they need ro be supplemented by ather than academic forces. T h e e intangible but very real supplementary influrnces have n1uc11to do with ereatirg the spirit of an institution. At .4ugsburg definirc emphasis is placed upon thf maintenance of a rvholcmn~espirit of Christian community living* Students are urged t o gite conscious attmtion to this personal and spiritual side of their development and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus. It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerfully fostered in each life. All students are required to conlplete fourteen credit hours in courses offered in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are encouraged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly. It is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence, both on and off campus, shall be worthy of a member of a Christian College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality of life and to the fellowship in which it is nourished should not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and environment must be the product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. THE CHAPELSERVICE The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the daily Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gather for united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular attendance is expected of all students. RECREATION STANDARDS AND DISCIPLINE At Augsburg all the work of the college rests on certain Biblical affirmations about human nature and man's relation to God. The college regards the Christian life as the truly significant life. This life implies an intimate relation to the person of Christ. In the content of this primary relationship the Christian also lives in a relationship to people, to events, to things. The fact that God not only created the world but became Man gives evidence that life in this world is not to be despised. Campus Life / 25 The Christian liberal arts college takes seriously these relationships and therefore seeks to educate the whole man. It follows that one of its important responsibilities is to establish recreational programs and policies that contribute to this end. It should be clear, however, that in an age which is much concerned with the pursuit of pleasure, a college like Augsburg should never subordinate its academic program to leisure-time activities. On the contrary, the recreational program must be in the content of, and be congruent with, the major inellectual quests of the college; and both must have as their goal to help the individual to live an effectual Christian life in the world. In setting up a recreational and social program, Augsburg is conscious of its position as a coeducational Christian college of liberal arts. The program takes into account the relationship between sexes and seeks to provide normal and healthy opportunities for the expression of the mutual attraction of the sexes. Augsburg offers a varied and selective recreational and social program which gives preference to those activities which are emancipatory rather than restrictive, those which enrich community life rather than those which are divisive or encourage selfish satisfactions. The college provides a rarietr- of activities designed to meet these requirements. The ancial p-rogam includes a number of organized allschool went5 combined with many les-structured activities designed for specified smaller poups. Tn nttempting to meet the needs and interests o f all Angsburg fhdenb, we make use of dl existing facilities on campus and m a t y of those which are available in the Twin City area. In seeking to develop a constructive recreational program, some limitations have been placed upon certain other activities. The college is opposed to all forms of gambling. I t forbicb the posmaion or consumption of alcoholic bererages in dormitories; in any collegeapproved place of residence, or at an? college-spansored event. Any student found under the influence of Liquor i s subject to disciplinary action. SociaI. or ballroom dancing. is not a part of the recreztiond program of the college. Students arr encouraged to be digcriminating in all types of recreation in which they engag. [hat their time may be well v e n t . and strong moral and ethical ralues map be developed. Such common activitie: as television vierving and movie-going. for example, can easily become time-wasting and even detrimental to the development of moral and ethical values. Without attempting ta dictate to the indiridud conscience, the college regards i t as its right to ask its students t o adapt thernselve. to the social p r a p a m approred by the college and to follow it as memh e n of the cr~llegecommunity. Although thp college l a ~ dowm s specific rules regarding most mattes only with respect to activities centering on the rampus. it reserves the right t o dismiss any studmt whose cnntinuation in colZegr is deemed undeirahle for social as we11 as for academic reaFons. It i s the policy of the c o l l ~ pthat such action shall not be taken capriciously, but only after the avaiIable campus resources of counseling and judicial processes have been utilized. Thus, dis- t6 / C m W Life ciplinary problems are first dealt with through counseling. Those not solved in this way are channeled to a faculty-student Judicial Council through the Office of the Dean of Students. In all such cases, careful investigation and the privilege of a hearing precede any disciplinary action. RELIGIOUS PROGRAM The Religious Life Commission, composed of students and faculty, endeavors to promote a religious program that will stimulate growth of Christian life in the Augsburg community. Chairman of this council is the student Commissioner of Religious Activities. Areas for which this committee carries primary responsibility are the Mid-Week services, Spiritual Emphasis Weeks, prayer meetings, informal group meetings, and a Pre-seminary club. This Commission also serves as a coordinating agency for all voluntary Christian organizations on campus. The principal organization is the Student Christian Association. The SCA seeks to serve as a stimulus and outlet for Christian faith and life. Students participate in regional and national Lutheran Student Association of America Conferences, and conduct a schedule of meetings on campus. The Mission Society, the service organization of SCA promotes interest in missions through a program of study, fellowship, worship, and service. A highlight of the year is the Mission Festival, a week-end conference devoted to the study of missionary activity and recruitment of workers. The Concordia Society is an organization for all the students in the Theological Seminary. CONVOCATION Regular convocations are held each Thursday throughout the year. These programs acquaint the campus community with outstanding personalities in various fields. A wide range of interests is covered, including the scientific, political, social, religious, and artistic. SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Students at Augsburg are given many opportunities for social training and recreation. The S t d e n t Council through the Commissioner of Social Activities, assisted by a Commission on Social and Recreational Life, sponsors each month an all-school social activity which all students may attend. Most of these are informal. The Sophomore and Junior classes spon:or semi-formal banquets. The Associated Women Students and.a number of other organizations sponsor teas, dinners, and social affairs on and off campus. ,4ugsbnrg7's location in Minneapolis gitw i t s shdmts unique opportunities to make use of some of rhe finest educational and cultural adrantag3 which the Northwst has to offer. Excellent art coUectinns are to he fonnd i n the Minneapolis Institute of and the WaIker Art Center. The Twin City libraries are evteneive in their services.

The Minneapolis Symphony @ T C ~ F ~ ~ Tprograms ~ I and other concerts affnrd rich npporiuni~yfor the e n j o y e n t of music.

Season tickets are available also for other University concerts and the University Theater drama programs. A monthly bulletin, Augsburg Plus, listing programs, concerts, art displays and exhibitions is compiled and issued from the Student Personnel Office.

The course outlined below satisfies the requirements for a certificate for teaching in Minnesota at the junior and senior high school level. The same program will meet the demands set by most of the neighboring states. The student should apply to the Department of Education for admission to the Education curriculum during his Sophomore year. Admission will be determined by a committee on the basis of scholarship and other qualifications. Except with special majors such as music, home economics, combined natural science, business education, and language arts, students should usually prepare for competency in at least two subject-matter fields in which high schools offer work. Areas in which they may obtain teaching majors or minors include English, German, Spanish, French, speech, music, history, social science, business education, home economics, biology, physics, chemistry, natural science, mathematics, and physical education. Minors are also offered in Scandinavian language and literature, art, political science, and library science. FRESHMAN r smn. Cr.
