Requirements and Course Load
The interim is an integral part of the fall semester at Augsburg College.
The number of interims required for graduation is equal to one interim less
than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a student
enrolled full-time for four years is required three interims; a student enrolled full-time for two years is required one interim. While a student is
not required to enroll in an interim, helshe pays tuition for an interim
during each year helshe is enrolled full-time at Augsburg. Tuition for the
interim is paid as a part of the fall tuition payment. A student may take
an interim in the major or outside the major. Each discipline may require
one interim of its majors, and each student may elect one additional interim
in the major. Beyond the two interims in the major each student will elect
interims outside the major.
One interim course is the limit of the student's academic load during the
one-month term.
June Interims
Each year an interim course will be offered for the following June term of
summer school. A student may enroll in a June interim course in lieu of
the January term. If helshe elects June rather than January, there will be
no additional tuition charge. Students planning the June interim in lieu
of January, however, must register for the June interim at the time of interim
registration in the fall. Students wishing to take the June interim in
addition to the January one will be required to pay regular one summer course
tuition.
Distribution Requirements and Grading
Each department at Augsburg offers at least one interim course that will
fulfill the distribution requirements for graduation. Each instructor determines the manner in which the interim will be graded. The grading is listed with each interim description: Traditional; PIN; Optional.

#
n interim course should make the same time-demands upon the student as a
standard semester course. The'number and length of class meetings is not
rigidly fixed. Students, however, should plan for in-class participation
of about ten hours per week. In addition, there will be labs, field study,
travel, reading, reports, and papers.
On-Campus Classes and Off-Campus Classes
The following catalogue lists the interim courses available at Augsburg.
In addition to these courses, Augsburg students may enroll for their interim
at Hamline, Macalester, or St. Catherines in St. Paul, and at St. Olaf iq
Northfield, as well as any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal
interim arrangement. Students planning an interim, other than the Take-Five
Colleges, need to clear their plans with the Interim Director. Should
students have questions about other campus interims and major requirements,
they should consult with the department chairman of their major. Should they
have questions about other campus interims and distribution requirements,
they should consult with the Registrar.
The ALC Joint Interim
The 1975 interim will bring together, for the third year, students from a
number of American Lutheran Church colleges for a joint learning and living
experience. The 1975 joint interim will focus on a common theme: "Community
Awareness: The Future is Now." Courses will be offered in Minneapolis, in
St. Paul, and in Omaha, Nebraska.
While arrangements have been made for joint housing, Augsburg College students
may enroll in a joint interim course without participating in the housing
arrangements.
Independent Study
Students may elect an independent study program for the interim. If they
plan such, they must meet the department's requirements for independent
study. They must also present, at the time of registration for the interim,
a written agreement from the individual instructor who will direct their
independent study program. A topic and tentative outline, including bibliography for the independent study, must be submitted to the instructor and the
office of the Interim Director no later than December 12, 1974. No independent
study will be accepted after December 12.
The interim day is divided into two blocks of time. These time periods are
flexible, but the flexibility will be determined by the instructor and the
class at the first session.
I - 8:OO - 12:30
I1 - 12:30 - 5:OO
rn'IST
All interim classes will meet the first and last class days of the interim.
Class I will meet on the first day at 9:00 a.m. Class I1 will meet on the
first day at 1:00 p.m.

Energy, Man, and the Environment
As you and those in your generation take over the running of the
world, what will it run on? Just food and air? Certainly those,
but what else? What are the world's sources of energy for your
generation and your children's generation? We'll study them in
this interim--fusion power; hydrogen; fission power; geothermal
energy; solar energy; petroleum fuels; coal; hydroelectric systems;
the tides; wind. And food, too. Food not only gives us energy
for living, it requires energy for growing--fuels for machines,
for making fertilizer, for pumping water. We'll look closely
at both the prospects of each fuel and the problems--strip mining;
air pollution; radioactive wastes; salination of soil; harm to
wildlife and people; oil blackmail.
The intent is that you become informed to the point where you know
something about these matters and can inform others; where you can
participate intelligently in making the moral choices that surely
will face you; where you know how to stay informed, how to find
information, how to keep up to date.
The level will be semi-technical. We may use one of the several
environmental science books now available as a basic text and then
exploit other books, articles and government publications. We'll
study many films--high quality color films. If the opportunity
arises--there's no way to know this early--we'll visit a nuclear
power plant. We'll meet about four times a week, about two hours
or so at a time, (depending on the film for the day.) W s course
assumes a knowledge of high school chemistry or the equivalent.

Issues in Human Development; A Cultural Perspective
The interim will be based in a Benedictine monastery in the village
of Ahuatapec near Curenavaca, Mexico. Travel to Mexico will be by
charter bus and train. The goal of the interim will be to provide
both an academic and experiential framework for the students to
clarify their social and religious values as these values are placed
in juxtaposition with those of the Mexican culture, the monastic
community and the other members of the group. The class will not
only be as a learning community for the month, but a working,
living and worshiping community as well. While at the monastery,
students will be expected to participate as fully as possible in
the discipline of the monastic community and will spend a part of
each day in class and part of the day working in agricultural and
social projects in the village. Also, conscious attention will be
given to the building of the community within the group itself,
and the skills involved in developing a community. In addition
to the monastery, some time will be spent in Mexico City and in
small group travel experiences to the other parts of Mexico.
Background readings and extensive daily journal and a final paper
will be required. Several preparatory meetings will be held
during the fall term.

World Order and Religion
The world appears to be in a state of crisis. What is necessary
to provide order? What kind of order would be best? Usually we
turn to political science or ecological sciences to find the answers
and principles of order. However, religions have also been ways in
which people have ordered their world. We will take that approach.
What are leading religious and theological concepts of order? What
does the religious map of the world look like today? What can religion
contribute to world order? What might the future be and how can we
work toward a desirable future with regard to religion and world
community? Reading, discussion, lecture, simulation games. Opportunity
for community life with students of other colleges, nations and
religions connected with the Joint Interim Program, "An International

The Church and Social Change in Capitol City
In the constant flux of urban life with its population shifts,
housing blights, and new freeways, certain Twin City churches
(35 - 40 ALC churches among them) find themselves in a changing
situation. Such churches find it difficult to cope with the change
and to find meaningful ways of organizing to deal constructively with
the circumstances. The student class will explore by experience
and involvement on behalf of three churches in the inner stratum of
St. Paul. Such a class can help provide information for formulating
an approach. The three are in sight of the legislature, which
helps determine much life in the area. Some students will act as
legislative aides for the January session -- providing light and
shadow for what is being encountered in the area. (ALC Joint Interim)

HI!5TORICAL SKETCH
Augsburg was (begunas a seminary in I 869, at Marshall, Wisconsin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian
Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private
institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed
in the academy building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This.
arrangement failed t o work out satisfactorily; so the theological
group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until
1872. In the autumn of that year the 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. The aim of the institution 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 estabfished when it k a m e evident that in order
to get students who were adequately prepared for theologicar
study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college 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 the professions. The latter course, however, had to be
discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too
few students selected the course. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879;
In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 193 3. In the years 1916-1919 the college
course was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the earlier classical course was greatly modified and
supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general
emphasis upon the- study of the humanities. In recent years there
has been continuous study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the
developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was
adopted in 1945. A t the present time majors are offered in 17 fields.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921.
In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been a continuing-revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses.
The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added
in 1939. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the
Seminary and the College function in close cooperation Long
experience has proved this arrangement to be mutually wholesome
and stimulating.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its
history. The terms of o0ice of two of these cover a span of over
half a century. The first president was August Weenaas, who
served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup,
1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was
followed by George Sverdrup, whose term extended from 191I to
1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937
until I 9 3 8. Bernhard Christensen, the present president, has served
since that time.
FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human life. All the aims of the College,
as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctly the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty:
T o lead the student to a deeper understanding and personut
realization of the truth and power of the Christian Gospel, to
the end that he may become an effective participant in the
evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest
advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and
for society.
T o familiarize the student with the culture of our own and
other ctvilizations, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge
affords but also for the development of a more sympathetic
understanding of our fellow men throughout the world.
T o develop the studenfs interest in the attainmmt of tbe
common purposes of our country, so that he may work for the
welfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our
liberties in community and nation, and also develop m enlightened interest and participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world.
T o cultivate in the student a Christian social spirit, in order
that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he
expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men.
T o teach the student to discipline his o m urges, interests,
ambitions, and demands in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character.
To train the student in scientijic methods of study and also
develop his understanding of the relations of science to the
welfare of humanity.
T o stimulate intellectual interest and develop scholarly insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy
and comprehension at the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the iindings of science with the deepest spiritual reality.
T o awaken and foster k the student an iatelligent a m e ciation and enjoyment of the best in the fields of the fins arts.
T o guide the studmt in the understamding of social relatianshps in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation
and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sinceriay.
T o provide guidance for the studmt in the discovery and
clarification of his aptitudes and his life purposes so that as
early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely.
T o train studmts in v o c a t ~ Zand professjOno1 lines, giving full preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home economics, and parish work; furnishing partial
training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year
college course preparing for the study of theology.
T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language,
music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work,
and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase
his ef6ciency in the various relationships of life.
T o afford the student w h o l e s m recreational expenerrme
which
will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with good recreational habits, thus providing a constant
source of social and personal satisfaction.
T o instruct the student in principles, ~ t t h d e s ,and ideas
pertaining t o health, and also to train him in practices and
skills which will promote his physical and mental well-being
and make him better fit to meet the responsibilities of life.
The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the
College, is done on the basis of Christianity. The students who
come are invited to take up their college work with the distinct
understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things.
They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school
towards that end. The entire program of the school, curricular and
extra-curricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make
possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim "to
see all.things through the eyes of Christ."
Enrollment in Augsburg College and Theological Seminary presupposes on the part of the student full cooperation in the ways
prescribed for the attainment of these aims.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL
From I 870 to I 890, Augsbwg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body
with two others, in r 890, r d t e d in the f i a t i o n of Augsburg
with the newly created United Nomegian Lutheran Church. Due
to Merences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose,
and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in
Augsburg formed the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close
association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and
the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony
of purpose and ideals for more than half a century.
The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect.
The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members
of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control
over property, hance, and personnel. Academic control is vested
in the President and the Faculty.
In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which
has materially increased with the growth and development of the
College, the chief iinancial support of the institution comes from
the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a
growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church,
both alumni and others, have contributed financially to the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on
the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education.
MEMBERSHIP I N EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS

Strommen, Vice-president; Esther Aune, Recording Secretary;
Marian Lund Lowrie, Harvey Peterson, and Paul Roth, Advisers.
THE AUGSBURG FOUNDATION
The Augsburg Foundation, formerly the Aupbwg Foundation
Fellowship, is an association of alumni, former students, and other
friends of Augsbwg, having as its purpose to give united and
systematic support, both spiritual and hmcial, to the school. The
Foundation was established in 1941 by joint action of the Board
of Trustees and the Alumni Association. Its work is directed by a
General Committee of nine members. A Foundation Day is held
each year.

Student Personnel Services
ADMINISTRATION
Students entering college face many new situations and prablerns. Some problems disappear soon after enrollment but others
grow during the four years. In order to give the greatest help to
students in these circumstances, Augsburg College has developed
a number of student aids combined under the general title
of Student Personnel Services. Included are Freshman Days and
orientation, testing, counseling, housing and food service, health
and recreation, iinancial aid including student employment and
loans, and student activities. Graduating seniors and alumni benefit
from the services of the Placement Oflice. Coordination of these
services is centered in the oflice of the Dean of Students. The
planning and policy are formulated by the Personnel Committee.
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION
Freshmen and other new students participate in "Freshman
Days" before the beginning of classes in the fall semester. The
students take tests, inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with their fellow students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. Several conferences with
the faculty- counselors are scheduled for the students, during
which they plan their program of study.
All freshmen enroll in a class in Orientation. In this course,
the students learn about standards and requirements of various
areas of college life. Methods and habits of study and related
techniques are explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal
finances and vocational aims are discussed.
TESTING
A battery of aptitude, ability and interest tests are adrninistered free to all new students during Freshman Days. College aptitude scores, English and reading ability scores are obtained for
later use by counselors in helping students plan their programs.
Personal adjustment scores and vocational interest scores help the
students select occupational goals and future careers.
COUNSELING
The purpose of counseling is to give the student individual
help in all areas of adjustment to college life. The insight and
techniques of adjustment will also serve him later in life. Each
freshman and new student is assigned a faculty member who may
serve as his counselor for m o years. Counselors for juniors and
seniors are their major advisers. The Deans and other administrative
o0icers are general counselors to all students.
The Faculty counselor helps the student plan his educational
program and choose appropriate subjects. The student learns to
understand his own abilities and aptitudes through the analysis and
interpretation of test data by his counselor.
Through a system of referral, students 'may obtain counsel from
any member of the faculty, or from quaEed persons within the
college community.
VOCATIONAL COUNSELING
Vocational counseling is introduced to freshmen through the
use of a vocational interest test. An Occupational Information
file in the college library provides study materials for vocational
planning. Career conferences annually bring many professional
people to the campus for group sessions and individual counseling
on job opportunities.
PERSONAL COUNSELING
Students who have personal problems may find help through
discussing the problem with their counselor. Personal iinances,
housing, and similar problems are common topics of discussions.
Students who have spiritual problems may confer with their counselors, or other faculty members, such as members of the Department of Christianity and the College Pastor.
HOUSING
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall provides housing for about
150 men. Fifty women are accommodated at Sivertsen Hall, with
Morton Hall housing twenty, Miriam House and Edda House
each housing eighteen, and Morton Annex, twelve.

1.0 ratio in the minor, and a 1.0 ratio for the over-all average. The applicant

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, with Fall and Spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week
January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time
for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and
ways not possible during the regular term. There will be no
summer Interim in 1987.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class a s they would for a four-course load during Fall
and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one
course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/
No credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the
PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a
more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one
Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).
Augsburg Policy
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the
basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap a s required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, a s amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

H Biological Evolution
BIO 307-47008
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are
biologically related are probably the most sigmficant conclusions
which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The antievolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationists" will be
investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted a s a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined.
Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of
evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and
continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study
of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwinian times to the present.
Finally, we will address the course of evolution from the origin of
life itself to the origin of human life.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes

BUS 321-47012
Instructor:Thomas Morgan, Tina Wagner, Lois Olson
"Augsburg Goes to Business" is a one-month senior seminar for
business and economics majors. The goal of the seminar is to provide a better understanding of the diversity in organizations and
the varied environments in which and the many constraints with
which they must operate. Three objectives emerge:
1. to develop a clearer understanding of how the different functional areas of an organization operate on a day to day basis
and how these "parts" are integrated into the overall operation of the firm.
2. to examine the extent to which "textbook approaches" correspond to "real world" situations and are able to accommodate practical application.
3. to explore potential conflicts between individual (personal
and career) goals and the goals of the organization; addressing how these conflicts may be resolved.
Class time will be divided between on-campus lecture and discussion and off-campus visits. Students will visit eight different
types of organizations in the metropolitan area. Class discussions
will focus on assigned readings, interpretation of the results of
different vocational oriented tests, and the issues relevant to the
selection of career paths.

The Short Story - Elements of Fiction
ENG 240-4702..
Instructor: Kathryn Swanson
What is fiction? What is good fiction? What elements of fiction
should I consider in making an evaluation? In this course, students will find answers to these questions by reading a variety of
fictional works and by writing their own fiction.
Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of the
history of the form of the short story, we will begin with tales and
fables and we will read a sufficient number of classics for the student to appreciate the historical development from Poe to Beattie.
The course will involve practice in ways of approaching literature
and will include study of the basic critical terminology, so it would
be an appropriate course for students who have not yet studied
literature at the college level.
Students are expected to read the stories and novel, participate in
class discussions, write an analysis paper on a topic selected with
the advice of the teacher, write a short story, and take several quizzes and a final exam. Effective Writing is not a prerequisite but

Emily Dickinson: The Person and The Poems
ENG 340-47029
Instructor:Ron Palosaari
Unknown in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson has gained a reputation as one of America's finest poets.
She spent most of her life within the family home, confining her
relationships to a selected few while the town regarded her as eccentric. Some writers believe she retreated from the world to give
herself to her poetry because her time and place made no provision for a female professional poet, especially a boldly innovative
one. Others trace her seclusion to various family relationships,
personal problems, or frustrated dreams of love. Whatever the situation, out of the mystery of her life comes the glory of her poetry.
We will study her poetry and a standard biography. Evaluation will
be based on a few short papers, an oral or group report, a journal,
and a test. We may also have some quizzes.
Students will also read one of the important books on Dickinson
and give a class report on the paper they prepare on their book.

Modern Paris: History and Literature
HIS 114-47036
Instructor:Orloue Gisselquist
We will do two things in this course. First, we are going to study a
significant period-the 19th and 20th centuries-in the history of
one of the world's great cities. Secondly, we are going to focus
much of our work on three major pieces of literature that deal
with Paris. We will enjoy them as literature but study them as
historical sources for what they tell us about Paris. The three
pieces of literature we probably will read are Honore de Balzac,
Old Goriot (1834),one of several novels he wrote picturing life in
Paris; Alexis de Tocqueville, Recollections (1893),a memoir written in the early 1850's by one of the great political thinkers of the
19th century that recounts his firsthand experience in the '48 revolution in Paris; and Edrnond and Jules de Goncourt, Pages from
the Goncourt Journal (1922),a very realistic day-to-daydiary kept
by two brothers who professionally and socially associated with
the literary elite of Paris during much of the second half of the
19th century. Whereas today history is being pressed toward the
social sciences, this represents a more humanities orientation of
historical study.

A myth is not something patently false or absurd, although popular usage has emphasized its fictional quality. Myth is the means
by which people and cultures explain themselves to others and to
themselves. In this course we will examine mythopoeic thought
and the myths which that process evolved in the ancient Near
East, Greece and Rome. We will read mythological literature in
translation and modern commentaries on the nature of myth
making. These mythologies will be studied within their historical
and cultural context, resulting in a final paper on a topic to be
decided upon between student and instructor. In addition to the
final paper, there will be a final exam and weekly quizzes or writing assignments. Depending upon production timing, the class
will attend an area dramatic presentation. Students enrolling for
upper division credit will be required to write an expanded final
paper based on deeper source material (18-20pages in length compared to lower division papers of 10-12 pages) and, in addition, a

Issues in Science and Religion
REL 374-47055
Instructors: John Benson and Mark Engebretson
For some in our society science is the driving engine of a better,
more secure life. For others, including some Christians, science
and its associated technologies constitute a grave threat.

between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods; the origins of the Christian faith, the development of "modern" science and mechanistic philosophy; and the reevaluation of
science and nature in the 20th century
The following are some of the questions to be dealt with: Has science made the Bible obsolete? Are scientists really that smart?
Has modern physics made it easier to be a Christian? Can computers save us? Why do science and religion always seem to be
fighting one another?
Grades will be based on class discussion of assigned readings, two

Ethics in Communication
SPC 340-47064
Instructor:Ray Anderson
We all encounter deception and exploitation in politics, advertising, selling, and personal relations. How can one decide whether
to conceal information from a customer, to use subliminal persuasion, to "blow the whistle" on one's employer, to use photographs
or body language to give a misleading impression? How can one
sort out and weigh the various ethical considerations?
In this course we will use case studies and a variety of ethical perspectives to analyze ethical problems in such fields as advertising,
public relations, sales, and politics. We will also consider issues in
subliminal persuasion, nonverbal communication, and interpersonal communication. The main objective is to improve our ability
to make ethical decisions.
Activities will include lectures, readings, case studies, interviews,
oral reports, papers, debates, and two examinations. The emphasis will be on case studies involving situations encountered in
everyday life.

Keystone: Medieval Studies Project
4 Semester Credits
The final project in medieval studies functions like an independent study. Because medieval studies is an interdisciplinary major, the
final project must be also be interdisciplinary. Students are free to choose any topic connected to the Middle Ages, but must examine it
with professors from at least three different disciplines. The traditional disciplines that comprise medieval studies are art history,
English, history, music history, philosophy, religion, and theater history, but students have also completed projects involving professors
from other disciplines, such as sociology and psychology. Experiential approaches are encouraged but not required. For example, past
students have built medieval musical instruments, medieval suits of armor, and Renaissance commedia dell’arte masks, and then
written about the process.
