Launched in 1987, the program has been a vital part of the Augsburg College curriculum ever since. The MAL program offers students an excellent opportunity to explore leadership within the context of the liberal arts. The program design broadens the skills and mindset you need to improve your leadership capabilities in your current and future positions, as well as in your life. The MAL program is taught by senior Augsburg faculty from a variety of disciplines. The faculty are committed to an interdisciplinary approach to leadership studies. Our students represent a wide array of occupations including business, health care, and the non-profit sector. This diverse learning community provides a rich environment for you to explore leadership beyond your own realm of expertise. Our program will help you develop skills you need to be an effective leader in an ever-changing world. I am frequently told by students that the program has changed their lives, has sharpened their understanding of themselves and others, and has opened doors that would otherwise have remained closed. To learn even more about the program, please visit our Web site at <www.augsburg.edu/mal>. I would be happy to help you determine how Augsburg's Master of Arts in Leadership program may benefit you. You may contact me via e-mail at <noonan@augsburg.edu> or by telephone at 612-330-1198. I look forward to seeing you on campus soon! Cordially, Norma C. Noonan, Ph.D. Director, M.A. in Leadership Program - The Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) is the core program of Augsburg's Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). The MAL program, which was launched in 1987, responds Lo the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership. Leadership studies is a growing field in American higher education, and the MAL program has significantly developed and modified its curriculum in response to new trends in the field . The program has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies yet attempts also to offer its students practical approaches to leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society. ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. During the academic year, classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours. A few courses are taught by the immersion model, which has fewer sessions but longer meeting times. Most courses incorporate some online work into their agenda. MAL students may take up to seven courses during the calendar year; with that schedule it is possible to complete the degree within two years. COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered on the Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs, and Christensen Center. The Center for Leadership Studies also offers special colloquia and seminars each year to supplement and complement the course work of the master's program. A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM PERIOD I Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon PERIOD II Saturday 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II, an average of two meetings a month. A Jew courses are taught on an immersion model which features fewer but longer sessions. Augsburg College has two summer sessions. The MAL program usually offers at least two classes during the summer; the courses are five weeks in duration, meeting normally two nights a week, except for special immersion courses. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources , 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this , individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. Leadership Orientation Toward Action Sense of Vision Ethical • Social awareness • Environmental awareness • Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences • Appreciation of situational complexity Creative • • • • Long-term perspective Flexibility Adaptability Innovativeness Facility for Persuasion Communicative • • • • • • Risk Assumptive • Curiosity • Achievement motivation • Self-esteem Effective listener Effective speaker Effective writer Diplomatic ability Effective team member Interpersonal sensitivity Culturally Aware • Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of individual differences Decisive • • • • • Self-confidence Analytical ability Ability to think critically Understanding of research Ability to manage conflict - Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course normally includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities. FINAL PROJECT OPTIONS There are three ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option (Plan A), students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option (Plan B), students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. For the third option, the Comprehensive Exam Seminar (Plan C), students complete 11 credits, including the comprehensive exam seminar. PLAN A: THESIS/LAP OPTION Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities. The principal distinction between the thesis and the leadership application project lies in their underlying orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while a leadership application project is based on practical application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592 and 593 . For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines booklet. Students who do not complete their thesis or leadership application project within two years are required to pay a continuation fee each trimester. PLAN B: NON-THESIS OPTION One alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers. The first of these papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual colloquium. For more information regarding the Non-Thesis Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP Project&: Non-Thesis Project Guidelines booklet. Students who do not complete their independent project within a year of registering for ML 597 are required to pay a continuation fee each trimester. PLAN C: COMPREHENSIVE EXAM SEMINAR The third completion option involves one paper written in conjunction with ML 580 (as in Plan B) and a Comprehensive Exam Seminar (ML 589). This course must be taken as the last course in the program or in conjunction with another course during the last term. This course is taken on a pass/fail basis, and when the course and the oral, written, and take-home examinations are successfully completed, the program requirements will be satisfied. CORE COURSES FOR THESIS/LAP OPTION (PLAN A): (3.5 course credits) The following core courses are required for all Thesis/LAP students in the MAL program: ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation I ML 593 Thesis/LAP Consultation II (0.5 course) CORE COURSES FOR NON-THESIS OPTION (PLAN B): (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 580 Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent Project CORE COURSES FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE EXAM SEMINAR OPTION (PLAN C): (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 580 Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 589 Comprehensive Exam Seminar - ELECTIVE COURSES FOR ALL OPTIONS: (at least 7.0 course credits) The MAL program requires that seven elective courses be selected from the following course list: - ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth ML 521 Methods of Critical Thought ML 525 Personality and Systems Theory: Perspectives on Leadership ML 527 Spirituality and Leadership in the Workplace ML 530 Ethics in Communication ML 531 The Dynamics of Change ML 535 Organizational Theory and Leadership ML 539 Communicating a Self in the Modern Organization ML 540 Political Leadership: Theory and Practice ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership ML 548 Coaching and Consulting ML 550 Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 557 Language of Leadership ML 560 Developing a Multicultural Perspective ML 565 Women and Leadership ML 568 The Global Business Environment ML 580 Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 598 Independent Study (special permission required) ML 599 Topics: special courses offered only once or twice ML 500 Leadership Practicum The MAL program sponsors professional development workshops and seminars.

EVALUATION STANDARDS Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below. Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) P Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average) N Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and not computed in grade point average) W Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Performance below basic course standards Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the Office of the Registrar stating reasons for the request and the plan and date for removing the incomplete grade. The signature of the instructor and any other necessary documentation must be included.) ATTENDANCE POLICY Because leadership issues are presented, discussed, and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL POLICIES Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may be dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of College policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the courses in the MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program director for approval of any variation in the curriculum including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. Approved transfer courses will appear on the student's Augsburg transcript but will not be counted in the cumulative grade point average. Semester and quarter credits will be appropriately converted to Augsburg course credits. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those earned from accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to those in the MAL program. No more than two courses will be accepted for transfer credit. CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than semester or quarter hours. Each full-credit graduate course in the MAL program is the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet a total of 28 hours per course and are responsible for a significant amount of individual study and preparation. MAL PROGRAM ENROLLMENT POLICY Students may take either one or two courses per trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester enables a student to complete the coursework in the program within two years. All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory Committee. Students who leave the program for more than one trimester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MAL program. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave of one year or more must fill out an Application for Readmission form and turn it into the Office of the Registrar. Time spent on an official MAL-approved leave of absence will not count toward the five-year deadline for degree completion. LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS MAL follows the Weekend College schedule for the last date each term on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a "W" on their records. Please refer to <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/calendars/weekend!> for up-to-date information. STUDENT RIGHTS The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action , grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg College Catalog and the Student Guide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records . Augsburg's policy is published in the Augsburg College Catalog and in the Student Guide. Augsburg College understands that no information other than "directory information" can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS Students who successfully complete Augsburg's leadership program will receive a Master of Arts degree.

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

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

Academic Programs and Policies ACADEMIC CALENDARS Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. ACADEMIC POLICIES The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College's academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg's Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Withdrawn Status W-Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor gran ts permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor's signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student's program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Class attendance is expected and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project Students enrolled in a thesis or final project are subject to a continuation fee schedule after the term in which tuition was paid for the project. These continuation fees maintain a student's library, AugNet, and parking privileges while work on the final project is ongoing. During this time of research and writing, students pay either a $10 campus access fee or a $200 continuation fee each term until the project is completed, or until the time limit for project completion is reached. The schedule for when each fee is applied varies among programs. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal for Academic Performance A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3 .0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. 5 Dismissal for Non-Professional Behavior Students may be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar's office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide 6 appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration ( 6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student's transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student's cumulative grade point average. STUDENT RIGHTS The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I-Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M-F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student's program.) Part II-Informal Process It is always the student's responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part Ill of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III- Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days . (See Part I for definition of time limits.) • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College . A grievant or respondent must submit a written In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. Your request should be submitted in writing at least one week prior to the date you wish to review your records. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records as you requested. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean's office, Academic Affairs. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. FER PA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands that no information other than "directory information" can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. (See One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health stafD; person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance . It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non-awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. Physician Assistant Studies for details of its program policy) 7 Right to withhold disclosure of "directory information" FERPA uses the term "Directory Information" to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. "Directory information" includes the following: • The student's name; • The student's address; • The student's telephone number; • The student's e-mail address; • The student's date and place of birth; • The student's major and minor field of study; • The student's academic class level; • The student's enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student's participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student's degrees and awards received; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student's dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • The student's photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar 8 must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W, Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg's failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. GRADUATE ADMISSIONS Admission to Augsburg College All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution. All graduate students must submit completed application forms that can be downloaded from each individual program's web page, as listed below. Each graduate program also has additional program requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these additional requirements.

A student acquires F-1 status using form 1-20, issued by a DBS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S . consulate (although citizens of some countries are exempt from the visa requirement); or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the 1-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHSapproved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. Simply transferring academically from another school to Augsburg does not transfer a student's F-1 status unless the student and a Designated School Official (DSO) from Augsburg follow these procedures. The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is one business day prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS To fulfill this requirement Augsburg graduate programs require international applicants to submit an official score report from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 100 (iBT), 250 (CBT) or 600 (PBT). Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a "full course of study" to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institu- U.S. institution with a minimum of two years of successful academic work completed in the U.S. (seven or more courses) . B. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials-to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor's degree. Course-by-course evaluation-to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point averageto demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S. grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=l.0, F=O.O. • Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg's Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Augsburg accepts foreign credential evaluations only from the following organization: World Education Services, Inc. www.wes.org A. Proof of English Competency C. Proof of Financial Support In order to receive an F-1 visa, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) regulations require international applicants to be sufficiently proficient in English to pursue a full course of study. International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses , and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). The TOEFL is waived for applicants who have a four-year degree from a Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student's family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an 9 Applicants for graduate study must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

FINANCIAL POLICIES Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student's last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance is determined . Allow two weeks for a refund. The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement payment plan. 12 CONTAICTTMiE ENROLLMENT C:ENTE'R For info·rm:atlon on eost~ pa~tne11\ts1 flnamli'al aid, tuition disc·ounts, and rr-e~f.uad:s : 13 Master of Arts in Education Master of Arts in Education We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals-and here's why. OUR PHILOSOPHY. The Education Department program theme-Teacher as developing professional: from classroom decision-maker to educational leader-suggests the expectations we have that our students will leave our programs prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the institution. Our department mission statement goes beyond leadership to also lay out our expectations for fostering "student learning and well-being by being knowledgeable in content, being competent in pedagogy, being ethical in practice, building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively." Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students leave our programs prepared to be knowledgeable, collaborative, capable beginning teachers who imbue their practice with ethics, tolerance, and compassion. OUR FACULTY. Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do . We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY. We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. As a student in Augsburg's Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher-the teacher you can become. Vicki Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education PROGRAMS ELEMENTARY EDUCATION The Education Department offers initial licenses as well as endorsements for already-licensed teachers that also lead to a master's degree. The range of licenses available is described below. The K-6 elementary with a middle school specialty license allows you to teach in grades K-6 and in your specialty area of math, science, social studies, or language arts in middle school. As an alternative to the middle school specialty, MAE elementary licensure students can pursue a prekindergarten specialty. Licensure requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. That means classes will include both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. Graduate courses are taken at the 500 level. Elementary education specialty areas in math, communication arts, and social studies are available through weekend and weekday evening courses. The science specialty area is available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend courses. Secondary education licensure is available through weekend and weekday evening courses in social studies, communication arts/literature, and K-12 visual arts. Licenses in other majors, including biology, chemistry, health education, mathematics, music education, physical education, and physics can be completed through a combination of weekend, weekday evening, and weekday courses. All of the following courses must be taken for licensure, and four to six of them may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 Orientation to Education (1.0)* EDC 206/566 Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) EDC 310/533 Learning and Development (1.0)* Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure options: EDC 410/544 Learners with Special Needs (1.0)* Pre-K specialty area endorsement EED 320/520 K-6 Methods: Reading (1.0)* EDC 490/580 School and Society (1.0) K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities K-12 special education: learning disabilities K-12 reading endorsement Education Department Mission To complete the license, you will also need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) The Augsburg College Education Department commits itself to developing future educational leaders who foster student learning and well-being by becoming knowledgeable in content, competent in pedagogy, and ethical in practice, and by building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively. EED 311 K-6 Methods: Health (.25) Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework EED 350 K-6 Methods: Math (1.0) * Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. EED 360 K-6 Methods: Science (l.O)* The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include at least two graduate-level courses from our Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. This provides students the chance to study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project-be it an action research or a leadership application project-gives students the opportunity to define an issue of concern and, supported by research, take on a leadership role in addressing it.

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

ESE 300/500 Reading and Writing in Content Area (1.0) To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) ESE 325 Creating Learning Environments (1.0)* ESE 3XX K-12 or 5-12 Special Methods (1.0 -2.0)* ESE 481, 483, 485 Student Teaching (2.0-3.0) *Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. Undergraduate Content Area Requirements The equivalent of a major in a content area is required for K12 and 5-12 licensure. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Additional content area coursework tied to licensure standards is generally required, even with a completed academic major. The following majors are offered almost entirely on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), art. Students seeking 5-12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. The following majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry; physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seek- ing licensure in any of these areas will likely need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9-12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5-8 general science to the 9-12 license. Students also can obtain the 5-8 general science license without the 9-12 license. Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than seven years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Education Department policy requires that a minimum of two content area courses be taken at Augsburg. Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program.

This endorsement has been established to provide teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their knowledge and practices in the area of reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete 4.5 credits of coursework that have been designed to meet the requirements established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill requirements for the Master of Arts in Education degree. These courses include: EED 520 K-6 Methods: Reading (1.0)* ESE 500 Reading/Writing in the Content Areas (1.0)* *The courses EED 320/520 and ESE 300/500 are offered to both undergraduate and graduate students: EED 320/520 is part of the elementary and special education initial licensure programs; ESE 300/500 is part of the secondary initial licensure program. The rigor of the courses is increased at the graduate level. Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg College within the past seven years will not be required to retake the entire version of EED 320/520 or ESE 300/500. However, they will be expected to complete the requirements for the graduate portion of the course they have already taken within the context of a half-credit independent study. If the graduate course was taken as a part of initial licensure (EED 520 or ESE 500) students do not need to repeat the course; however, if ESE 500 was taken without a field experience, 20 hours in a high school or middle school reading setting must be completed. EDC 505 K-12 Literature in the Classroom (.5) EDC 508 K-12 Reading Assessment and Evaluation (1.0)* EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership (1.0)* Reading license candidates who already have received their initial K-8 teaching licensure and who are graduates of Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be required to take EED 520 or ESE 500 at the graduate level. *Field experience required Reading Endorsement Course Descriptions EED 320/520 K-6 Methods: Reading* The study and use of a variety of teaching techniques and resources in reading, including the diagnosis and correction of reading difficulties. Should be taken at the graduate level for the reading endorsement. (Prereq.: PPST and admission to the department) Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching licensure and who are not graduates of Augsburg College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500. STUDENT TEACHING Education students are required to complete student teaching in their content area. In the MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at this point. Student teaching for elementary and secondary initial licenses lasts 12-14 weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for two to three credits of student teaching and meet at Augsburg College for a student teaching seminar several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students do half of the student teaching experience in the metro area and the remaining portion in another country. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful opportunity to build a global perspective in education. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for special education is completed as part of the internship year if students are working in a licensure appropriate setting. If not, student teaching is carried out after completing the special education coursework. A supervised practicum for the reading endorsement is completed as part of EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership. No further student teaching is required for this endorsement. GRADUATE DEGREE COMPLETION Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education core, with between four to six Augsburg graduatelevel licensure courses fulfilling master's requirements. To earn a master's degree beyond the core of education classes, students will need to successfully complete a minimum of three additional graduate-level courses: • a research methods course, typically ML 514 • an elective course chosen from leadership-focused courses in the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program The goal for the graduate degree completion component is to foster the development of teachers as leaders within the institution and community as in line with our program theme and department mission statement. Graduate Degree Completion Course Descriptions Research Methods Course All students seeking the Master of Arts in Education degree must complete a graduate-level research requirement. ML 514 Research Methods Evaluation and documentation of programs, projects, and ideas as they relate to leadership theories and practice. Qualitative and quantitative tools will be discussed. MAE Final Project Options Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Education final project: a leadership application project (LAP) or action research. This project serves as the capstone of the master's program. EDC 585 Leadership Application Project The leadership application project (LAP) is a research-based study that links issues of leadership and education with the degree candidate's personal interests. The character of the project will vary with the nature of the investigation and the materials involved, but will always be application oriented. The central component of the LAP is the demonstration of leadership ability through a concrete project appropriate to the candidate's workplace or place of service. EDC 586 Action Research in Education (.5 course) This course will introduce students to action research, a form of research that simultaneously contributes to the practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of social science. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and collaboration. Action research is used in real situations, and is aimed at solving real problems. The goal of action research is to gain better knowledge of one's practice while improving the situation in which the practice is conducted. This is the first of a two-trimester course. • a research- or leadership-based final project Students bringing fewer than six graduate-level licensure courses into the degree program must complete additional leadership or education graduate courses to reach the total of nine required courses. A minimum of four graduate-level licensure courses are required for the MAE degree. The research methods course will help prepare students to evaluate and document research for use in their final project or paper. This course examines both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The leadership elective courses allow students to examine issues of leadership at a personal or ins ti tu tional level. Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Education final project, which serves as the capstone of the master's program: a leadership application project (LAP) or action research course sequence and project. EDC 587 Action Research (.5 course) The second term of this course involves intensive data analysis, writing, and sharing of the degree candidate's research. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and collaboration. The trimester will culminate with a symposium in which student work will be presented in a public forum. MAL Elective Courses At least one elective must be taken from the Master of Arts in Leadership courses. The following are recommended, but others may also be used. ML 510 Visions of Leadership: A Historical and Literary Journey ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth ML 530 Ethics in Communication ML 531 The Dynamics of Change ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership Credit Evaluation: An official transfer credit evaluation of your previous academic work will be completed as part of the admissions process. ML 550 Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 560 Developing a Multicultural Perspective Advising and Registration: You are able to participate in ML 565 Women and Leadership academic advising and the registration process after you have been accepted. ML 599 Special Topics (as appropriate) ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Students admitted into the MAE program must have completed: • a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution, and can obtain licensure at the graduate level • cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required for full admission for the graduate licensure option and degree program). Students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5-3.0 may be admitted conditionally into the graduate licensure program. They can apply to the MAE full licensure and degree program after achieving 3.0 or better in two (2.0) Augsburg courses. Minimum Grade Policy and Academic Probation Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA in a given term in graduate course work are notified that they are on academic probation and have one term to raise their GPA to the required level. Failure to do so could mean dismissal from the program. Students who receive below a 2.0 in any course required for licensure-undergraduate or graduate-are notified that they are on academic probation and must repeat that course as soon as possible and raise it to the appropriate level. Failure to do so could mean dismissal from the program. Students who receive a 2.0 in a graduate course may use that course for licensure purposes, but it will not be counted towards degree completion. Application Checklist The following items must be sent to the Augsburg Adult and Graduate Admissions Office: • Completed application form-www.augsburg.edu/mae • $35 non-refundable application fee • Personal summary outlining your tentative educational objectives and reasons for wanting to attend Augsburg • Official academic transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions (including colleges, universities, and vocational/technical schools) sent directly to the admissions office.

The MAL program offers students an excellent opportunity to explore leadership within the context of the liberal arts. The program design broadens the skills and mindset you need to improve your leadership capabilities in your current and future positions, as well as in your life. The MAL program is taught by senior Augsburg faculty from a variety of disciplines. The faculty are committed to an interdisciplinary approach to leadership studies. Our students represent a wide array of occupations including business, health care, and the nonprofit sector. This diverse learning community provides a rich environment for you to explore leadership beyond your own realm of expertise. Our program will help you develop skills you need to be an effective leader in an ever-changing world. I am frequently told by students that the program has changed their lives, has sharpened their understanding of themselves and others, and has opened doors that would otherwise have remained closed. To learn more about the program, go to www.augsburg.edu/mal. I would be happy to help you determine how Augsburg's Master of Arts in Leadership program may benefit you. Contact me via e-mail at noonan@augsburg.edu or by telephone at 612-330-1198. I look forward to seeing you on campus soon! Norma C. Noonan, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Leadership Mission Statement The primary purpose of the Master of Arts in Leadership program is to develop leaders for organizations, the community, and society Most organizations seek leaders who possess the following qualities: an ethically and morally responsible vision, an understanding of how change occurs and how it can be managed, sensitivity to the complex problems of organizations, and an ability to find solutions consistent with their mission, cultural competence and sensitivity to the needs of a diverse population, and the ability to inspire and motivate people to work toward a common goal. Introduction The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg's program recognizes that today's leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program offers courses primarily on alternate Saturdays. The Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) is the core program of Augsburg's Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). The MAL program, launched in 1987, responds to the leadership development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership. Leadership studies is a growing field in American higher education, and the MAL program has significantly developed and modified its curriculum in response to new trends in the field. The program has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies yet attempts also to offer its students practical approaches to leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society. incorporate some online work into their agenda. MAL students may take up to seven courses during the calendar year. It is possible to complete the degree within two years if a student takes two courses each trimester. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered on the Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs, and Christensen Center. The Center for Leadership Studies also offers special colloquia and seminars each year to supplement and complement the coursework of the master's program. A sample class schedule in the MAL program Period I Period II Saturday Saturday 8 a.m. to noon 1 to 5 p.m. Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II, an average of two meetings a month. An occasional course is taught on an immersion model which features fewer but longer sessions. A few courses are held on Sunday afternoons, from 1 to 5 p.m. Augsburg College has a summer session. The MAL program usually offers at least two classes during the summer. The courses are five weeks in duration, meeting normally two nights a week, except for special immersion courses. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL Leadership Development Model-Augsburg College The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the leadership development model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. CURRICULUM DESIGN Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. During the academic year, classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours. A few courses are taught by the immersion model, which has fewer sessions but longer meeting times. Most courses Each MAL course normally includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, discussion, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL Leadership Orientation Toward Action Sense of Vision Ethical • Social awareness • Environmental awareness • Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences • Appreciation of situational complexity Creative • Innovativeness Facility for Persuasion Communicative • • • • • • Risk Assumptive • Curiosity • Achievement motivation • Self-esteem Final project options There are three ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option (Plan A), students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 11 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option (Plan B), students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. For the third option, the Comprehensive Exam Seminar (Plan C), students complete 11 credits, including the comprehensive exam seminar. Plan A: Thesis/LAP Option Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This researchbased study gives the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities. The principal distinction between the thesis and the leadership application project lies in their underlying orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while a leadership application project is based on a practical issue. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592 and 593. For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines booklet. Students who do not complete their thesis or leadership application project within two years are required to pay a continuation fee each trimester.* Effective listener Effective speaker rnective writer Diplomatic ability Effective team member Interpersonal sensitivity Culturally Aware • Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of Individual differences Decisive • • • • • Self-confidence Analytical ability Ability to think critically Understanding of research Ability to manage connict Plan 8: Non-Thesis Option One alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers. The first of these papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual colloquium. For more information regarding the Non-Thesis Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP Project and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines booklet. Students who do not complete their independent project within a year of registering for ML 597 are required to pay a continuation fee each trimester.* *Both Plans A and Bare governed by Augsburg College's policy on continuation. A student taking Plan A has a maximum of seven trimesters (including the one in which registration initially occurred) to complete a thesis or LAP. After that the student may continue with permission but will pay a fee each trimester. A student taking Plan B has a maximum of four trimesters (including the one in which registration initially occurred to complete the Plan B final project. After that the student may continue with permission but will pay a fee each trimester. The fee is a continuation fee and is separate from any parking permits or other incidental fees. Plan C: Comprehensive Exam Seminar The third completion option involves one paper written in conjunction with ML 580 (as in Plan B) and a Comprehen- ML 574 Strategic Leadership The course develops students' ability to think strategically and lead organizations through planning and implementation; application of models and concepts to examples and cases from real-life practice. Case studies, exercises, and readings cover practices in for-profit and nonprofit organizations. ML 577 Universal Responsibility and Leadership: A Nicaraguan Experience The exploration of universal responsibility, conceptually and experientially. Course consists of a seminar in Minneapolis and approximately two weeks in Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan portion includes a home stay, meetings with leaders in various venues, and visits to multiple sites and organizations. Topics such as Nicaraguan history, politics, indigenous cultures, poverty, health care, literacy; the arts, business, foreign investment, and relations with the U.S. government and nonprofit organizations are explored. ML 580 Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership Selected contemporary theories of leadership presented by instructors who participate in the seminar. Emphasis on critical thinking, discussion, written analysis. Prereq.: oneyear coursework in MAL program and ML 510) ML 589 Comprehensive Exam Seminar (PIN} This course is a completion option for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Students prepare for the examination seriesoral, written, and take-home-through discussion, readings, and critical analysis in the seminar. It must be the final course taken in the program. No other course may be taken at the same time. ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation I (PIN) Independent final research project supervised by an academic adviser. *A student may count only ML 597 or ML 598 for credit toward the MAL degree, except with permission of the MAL program director. Post-Master's Certificate in Leadership Studies Graduate students who already possess a master's degree in any area (including leadership) may wish to pursue the certificate program. A certificate is awarded after completion of five Augsburg MAL courses in leadership (which were not previously applied to any other degree). The student may choose any five MAL courses or may wish to focus on a specific area such as ethics and leadership, global leadership, organizational leadership, communications, or leadership development. This option is attractive for people who want to continue their professional studies but not necessarily undertake a full degree program. The normal application process is used for students who wish to pursue the postmaster's certificate. Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in Leadership A BA in accounting and an MA in Leadership (MAL) can be earned in this five-year program designed for students who wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master's degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in accounting and an MA in Leadership and will have fulfilled the 150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on a weekend schedule. Please refer to the MAL program catalog for a complete list of course offerings and the accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan. It is recommended that students meet with an accounting adviser to create an effective plan for successful completion of the five-year program.

STAFF Patty Park, Program Coordinator Master of Arts in Nursing Master of Arts in Nursing We are excited about the educational opportunities, engaging practicum experiences and wealth of transcultural nursing knowledge offered in the Master of Arts in Nursing program at Augsburg College. We are also proud of our students who come from a wide range of diverse cultural, educational, and experiential backgrounds. Some master's degree candidates enter directly from college, others are making mid-life career changes, and some are returning to college after raising a family. The career options in nursing are more variable and more rewarding than ever before. As our population ages and becomes increasingly diverse, nurses are challenged to respond with creativity and competence. The master's program prepares nurses for leadership across care systems, population groups, cultures, and settings, with particular emphasis on addressing global and local health inequities. Graduates of our master's program are practicing in acute care, community and public health, education, nursing administration, and emerging care settings that are responsive to the needs of culturally diverse and underserved populations. Many of our graduates are creating innovative practice models that demonstrate interdisciplinary leadership and economically feasible solutions to health inequities within communities. Students can choose between two tracks of study in the master's curriculum: Transcultural Nursing in Community or Transformational Nursing Leadership and Management. Classes are offered at the Augsburg campus in Minneapolis and at Bethel Lutheran Church in downtown Rochester, Minnesota. Video conferencing is used for most classes and allows for "real time" connections between students in the two sites. Program faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist students in expanding their nursing practice and advancing their career options while exploring together how we transform our unique gifts and interests into personal and professional service in the world. Sincerely, Cheryl Leuning, PhD Chair, Department of Nursing Director, Master of Arts in Nursing Master of Arts in Nursing Mission Within the framework of a Christian liberal arts education, the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural practice across care settings, with particular emphasis on addressing health inequities. TRANSCULTURAL NURSING IN COMMUNITY The Transcultural Nursing in Community track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare nurses for advanced population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public health principles, theory-guided practice, and transcultural care. The program of study focuses on reaching populations that are underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the program provides rich alternative teaching and learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally. Upon graduation from the program, nurses completing this track are eligible to apply for certification in Advanced Transcultural Nursing through the International Transcultural Nursing Society. Also, graduates completing this track will be eligible to apply to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing. A total of 10 courses plus a thesis or graduate project are required. Three courses in the Advanced Nursing Core, which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, five courses from the Transcultural Nursing in Community Track, and two electives make up the coursework for the program. Advanced Nursing Core (three courses) NUR 505 Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice NUR 520 Research Methods in Nursing NUR 523 Theory, Research, and Practice Seminar Transcultural Nursing in Community track (five courses) NUR 500 Transcultural Health Care NUR 503 Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life Cycle, and NUR 515 Managing Nursing Effectiveness within Care Systems OR The Politics of Health Care NUR 541 Plus, two of the following courses: * NUR 510 Advanced Community Health Nursing I NUR 511 Advanced Community Health Nursing II NUR 530 The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Transformation NUR 532 Transcultural Healing Practices ELECTIVES-two graduate elective courses, which may include the following: ECO 520 Economics of Health Care in a Global Community Visions of Leadership ML510 ML511 ML530 ML531 ML560 NUR 530 NUR532 NUR562 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process Ethics in Communication The Dynamics of Change Developing a Multicultural Perspective The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Transformation Transcultural Healing Practices Walking the Truth: Culture, Gender, and HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa Note: Academic advisers can inform students about other possible electives. *Students seeking certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) must complete 500 hours of clinical practicum work and select NUR 510 and NUR 511; students seeking certification from the International Transcultural Nursing Society may select NUR 530 and NUR 532. Clinical practicum hours are integrated into several courses in the curriculum. Thesis or Graduate Project-students are required to complete either a thesis or a graduate project, which is equivalent to one course. NUR 525 Graduate Field Project NUR 535 Integrative Master's Thesis TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT The Transformational Leadership and Management track unites the liberal arts with nursing science and practice. This track is designed to develop nurse leaders who are analytical, articulate, and constructively critical and who will be able to cope with high-level healthcare delivery issues. Curricular emphasis is on interdisciplinary collaboration across care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica and classroom dialogue provides opportunities for students to apply knowledge and gain experience partnering with diverse care providers, populations, and communities to address health inequities in creative and relevant ways. Specialty electives build on students' competencies and goals. Courses are offered by the Department of Nursing faculty as well as faculty teaching in the Master of Arts in Leadership and Master of Business Administration programs. Students take a total of 10 courses, plus a thesis or graduate project. Three courses in the Advanced Nursing Core, which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, five courses in the Transformational Leadership and Management Track, and two elective courses make up the course work for the program.

Thesis or Graduate Project Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Nursing final project, which serves as the capstone of the master's program: a graduate field project, or an integrative master's thesis. The graduate field project, NUR 525, is based on a selfselected issue relevant to transcultural nursing in community or transformational nursing leadership. The student will focus primarily on the application and integration of knowledge. Working with an adviser, the student will design and/or implement and evaluate a model of advanced practice nursing applied to health inequities in a selected community, or a nursing leadership issue. The integrative thesis option, NUR 535, expands upon and/or extends theoretical foundations or concepts identified in transcultural nursing, community health nursing, and/or nursing leadership literature. The thesis project demonstrates the student's ability to do independent research involving the exposition of primary and secondary literature appropriate to the topic, the collection and analysis of empirical data, and the articulation of implications for advanced practice nursing. Students register for their final project, with their adviser's permission, near the end of the program. Students must complete all coursework and defend the project within two years after registration. After two years, students must pay a continuation fee of $200 per term in order to retain student status in the graduate program, including library privileges, AugNet access, and parking privileges. Please refer to the "Graduate Field Project or Integrative Thesis Procedures and Policies" booklet available in the Nursing Department for additional information. Practica Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students who complete the Transcultural Nursing in Community track will have enough practice hours to be eligible to apply to take the certification exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Nursing practice with diverse populations will also provide students with the experiences needed to apply to take the certification exam in Transcultural Nursing. In the practica all students practice primarily in nontraditional settings with persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health care. Emphasis is on cultural diversity and health inequities across health care settings. Students in the Transformational Leadership and Management track have practice experience in several courses with preceptors in leadership positions in a variety of care settings. A unique opportunity offered for practica at Augsburg is provided by the Augsburg Central Nursing Center. The Nursing Center provides services for persons struggling with poverty and homelessness in the city of Minneapolis. People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide-ranging cultural contexts, provide many opportunities for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice. Study Abroad and Off-campus Opportunities The Nursing Department works closely with cultural guides, nurse mentors, and Augsburg's Center for Global Education in developing study abroad opportunities. The following study abroad and away opportunities are four examples of existing practicum experiences. Students may travel to Namibia in southwest Africa to spend two weeks exploring health and healthcare challenges within a rapidly developing country. Practical experience with nurses in a variety of care settings, meaningful dialogue with key resource persons, and critical reflection foster personal and professional growth in this practicum. Week-long immersion courses and practica are taught on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in western South Dakota. These courses and experiences offer students the opportunity to live on the reservation and participate with public health nurses providing health services. They also interact with tribal leaders and experience cultural events relevant to the Lakota people of Pine Ridge. Ten-day courses and practica are available in Mexico and Guatemala as well. Students explore the relationships of indigenous and Western health care, the connection between social justice and health, and interact with local indigenous healers. Students may apply all these study abroad options to requirements in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS NUR 500 Transcultural Health Care This course explores meanings and expressions of health, illness, caring, and healing transculturally. Focus is on understanding and developing professional competence in caring for individuals, families, groups, and communities with diverse cultural backgrounds. Culture is examined as a pervasive, determining "blueprint" for thought and action throughout the human health experience. Patterns of human interaction that foster health and quality of life are analyzed, and health destroying patterns of interaction, e.g., stereotyping, discrimination, and marginalization, are examined and submitted to moral and ethical reflection. (36 hours of practice experience) NUR 501 Transcultural Care Systems In this course, organizations are viewed as cultural systems that are complex and adaptive, where continuous change and unpredictability rule the development and course of evolution. The importance of relationships, the role of selforganization, the processes of emergence and co-evolution are explored via readings and discussions. Attendance at a local, national, and/or international nursing leadership conference is mandatory. Dialogue and networking with a variety of nursing leaders to understand the context of transcultural healthcare organizations are expected. NUR 503 Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life Cycle The major curriculum concepts of individuals, health, nursing, and society are developed further in this course as the function of individuals living in families and in communities is explored. Content about systems, communication, small group, and nursing theories is applied to family constellation. The influence of the multigenerational family is examined in terms of culture, belief system, roles, healthcare patterns, values, and goals. Specific concepts related to values and culture are expanded and applied to the more complex social structures of traditional and nontraditional families as they interact in and with society.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Complete and current-year admission guidelines can be found on our website at www.augsburg.edu/pa. Note: The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is not required. Admission to any physician assistant program is a highly competitive process. Augsburg College's graduate program in physician assistant studies receives approximately 250 applications for each entering class of 28 students. The Augsburg Physician Assistant Studies program has a two-step application process-applying through CASPA and to Augsburg's PA Studies Program. Qualified applicants will have: • Bachelor's degree (in any major) from a regionally-accredited four-year institution • Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 • Completed the prerequisite courses listed below PA Studies Application Process The Augsburg PA Program participates in the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) which is sponsored by the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). All applications to the PA Program for the entering class must be processed through CASPA, following all guidelines and regulations set forth by CASPA. Application forms with detailed instructions can be obtained online at www.caspaonline.org. Prerequisite Courses To be an eligible applicant for the physician assistant studies program, you must have completed the prerequisite courses listed below. These courses must have been completed within 10 years of the year you are applying for admission. If you have already completed your undergraduate degree, prerequisites must be completed by the end of fall semester (no later than December 30) of the year you are applying. If you are completing your first undergraduate degree, you may complete prerequisite course work in the spring semester of the year you are applying; however, that coursework must be completed prior to the start date of the program. All course prerequisites must have been passed with a grade of C (2.0) or higher. Meeting minimum prerequisites does not guarantee admission into the program. You will be considered an eligible applicant if you have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (as calculated by CASPA), if you have completed or will complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start date of the program, and if you have completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the timeline specified for your situation. Augsburg's PA Program Supplemental Application can be downloaded from www.augsburg.edu/pa. It is important for the applicant to determine whether he or she is in fact eligible to apply to the PA Studies Program, as the $25 supplemental application fee is non-refundable. You will be required to print and sign the supplemental application and mail it to the program by the application deadline. Since all incoming students begin the course of study in late May, the application is thus made approximately a year before matriculation. • one full course of general psychology • one full course of developmental psychology (birth to death lifespan) • one full course of physiology* (human/vertebrate/organ) • one full course of microbiology* • one full course of biochemistry* • one full course of general statistics • one course of medical terminology *Labs are recommended but not required. Refer to our "Guide to Prerequisites" on our website to help you with your prerequisite course selections. The following are strongly recommended but not required: • Minimum science GPA of 3.0 • Additional science courses such as anatomy, genetics, immunology, other biology courses, and organic chemistry • Clinical healthcare experience. Direct patient contact is the best type of experience to obtain in order to strengthen an application. Healthcare experience may be full time or part time, paid or volunteer. Selection Process All complete files ( CASPA and Supplemental Applications that meet requirements) will be reviewed by the admissions committee. The admissions committee procedures utilize a blind review, so applicant demographic data is unknown (e.g., race, age, gender). Each file is reviewed by members of the committee. The selection committee looks for a balanced application by reviewing many criteria including cumulative GPA, science GPA, overall academic record, service to underserved (meaning disadvantaged, minority; or under-represented populations), direct patient contact experience, knowledge of the profession, fit with the program goals and mission, and recommendation letters. Once the committee has completed the file review, a group of candidates is selected for a telephone interview. The telephone interviews are generally conducted in mid- to lateJanuary. In addition, those selected for a telephone interview are invited to a Candidate Information Session in the program to meet faculty, staff, current students, and to view the facilities. After telephone interviews are conducted, the class of 28 students, as well as a list of alternates will be selected. All applicants are notified of their status by midFebruary. PA PROGRAM POLICIES Technical Standards • The Augsburg College Department of Physician Assistant Studies is pledged to the admission and matriculation of all qualified students and prohibits unlawful discrimination against anyone on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, marital status, sexual orientation, status without regard to public assistance or disability. • Regarding disabled individuals, the PA department is committed to provide reasonable accommodations and will not discriminate against individuals who are qualified, but will expect all applicants and students to meet certain minimal technical standards, with or without reasonable accommodations. Physician assistants must have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad variety of clinical situations and to render a wide spectrum of patient care. They must be able to integrate all information received by whatever sense(s) employed, consistently, quickly, and accurately, and they must have the intellectual ability to learn, integrate, analyze, and synthesize data. Candidates for physician assistant certification offered by this department must have, with or without reasonable accommodation, multiple abilities and skills including visual, oral-auditory, motor, cognitive, and behavioral/ social. Candidates for admission and progression must be able to perform these abilities and skills in a reasonably independent manner. • Visual: Candidates must be able to observe and participate in experiments in the basic sciences. In order to make proper clinical decisions, candidates must be able to observe a patient accurately. Candidates must be able to acquire information from written documents, films, slides, or videos. Candidates must also be able to interpret X-ray and other graphic images, and digital or analog representations of physiologic phenomena, such as EKGs with or without the use of assistive devices . Thus, functional use of vision is necessary. • Oral-Auditory: Candidates must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients. Candidates must also be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with other members of the healthcare team. In emergency situations, candidates must be able to understand and convey information essential for the safe and effective care of patients in a clear, unambiguous, and rapid fashion. In addition, candidates must have the ability to relate information to and receive information from patients in a caring and confidential manner. • Motor: Candidates must possess the motor skills necessary to perform palpation, percussion, auscultation, and other diagnostic maneuvers. Candidates must be able to execute motor movements reasonably required to provide general and emergency medical care such as airway management, placement of intravenous catheters, cardiopul- • • monary resuscitation, and application of pressure to control bleeding. These skills require coordination of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium, and integrated use of the senses of touch and vision. Cognitive: In order to effectively solve clinical problems, candidates must be able to measure, evaluate, reason, analyze, integrate, and synthesize in a timely fashion. In addition, they must be able to comprehend three dimensional relationships and to understand the special relationships of structures. Social: Candidates must possess the emotional health required for the full utilization of their intellectual abilities, for the exercise of good judgment, for the prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis and care of patients, and for the development of effective relationships with patients. Candidates must be able to tolerate physically taxing workloads and function effectively under stress. They must be able to adapt to changing environments, display flexibility, and learn to function in the face of uncertainties inherent in the clinical problems of patients. Tests and Evaluations: In order to evaluate the competence and quality of candidates, the Augsburg Physician Assistant Program employs periodic examinations as an essential component of the physician assistant curriculum. Successful completion of these examinations is required of all candidates as a condition for continued progress through the curriculum. Reasonable accommodation will be made in the form or manner of administration of these evaluations where necessary and possible. Clinical Assessments: Demonstration of clinical competence is also of fundamental importance to the career and curriculum progression of the candidates. Therefore, the process of faculty evaluation of the clinical performance of candidates is an integral and essential part of the curriculum. Although reasonable accommodation will be made, participation in clinical experiences and the evaluation of that participation is required. Experiential Learning Policy The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program does not award academic credit to an individual for experiential learning. Applicants desiring admission to Augsburg's PA Program must satisfactorily complete all prerequisite courses. Experiential learning will be considered separately from prerequisite courses. Experiential learning prior to and during admittance to the Augsburg PA Program will not substitute for any part of the clinical year or preceptorship. Employment while in the Program Program faculty discourage outside employment while in the Physician Assistant Program. Faculty recognize that employment may be an issue that some students will face. Given this recognition, realize that program obligations will not be altered due to a student's work obligations. It is further expected that work obligations will not interfere with the physician assistant students' learning progress or responsibilities while in the program. Withdrawal and Readmission Policies Voluntary withdrawal from the Physician Assistant Program may be initiated by a student after submission of a letter to the program director requesting withdrawal. In the letter, the student should ou tline the circumstances and reasons for withdrawal. Students will be requested to conduct an exit interview with the program director prior to leaving the program. See page 5 for information on withdrawal. Readmission Students may request readmission after voluntary withdrawal by submitting a letter to the program director stating the reasons the student wishes readmission and the anticipated date for readmission. The submission of a letter and previous enrollment does not constitute automatic acceptance and/or reentry into the program. Reapplication to the PA Program after dismissal from the program will be considered only under extremely unusual circumstances. Students who submit letters will be reviewed by the program faculty. Any student requesting readmission will be considered a new applicant to the program and will be required to complete the program application process as a new applicant, and may be required to repeat coursework. Reapplication does not guarantee readmission to the Physician Assistant Program. After careful review of the student's previous academic record and the request for readmission, a decision will be made. Students may be required to repeat selected coursework or meet new requirements of the Physician Assistant Program that became effective after the student's withdrawal. A decision will also be rendered as to what program coursework will be considered for credit as completed. COSTS OF THE PA PROGRAM For tuition information go to www.augsburg.edu/pa.

If you are interested in learning more about our program, I invite you to come to campus for an information session. In that session, we will show you our tightly integrated curriculum, explain our cohort model, and introduce you to some of our faculty and staff. We also invite you to meet individually with our faculty and staff, who are available for appointments. We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in learning. The personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is challenging. We encourage you to take the challenge with us. Lois A. Bosch, PhD, LISW Director, Master of Social Work SWK 620 Research 2: Practice Evaluation Building on the basic research skills developed in Research I, this course offers a practice-oriented exploration of the range of research methods used in social work practice evaluation. There will be a particular focus on evaluative research, a critique of the role of research in assessing efficiency and effectiveness in social service delivery, and identification with the responsibility of social workers to "expand the knowledge base" of social work The course emphasizes research as a tool at all levels of social work and will be concerned with strengthening the linkages between research, theory, and practice evaluation. Students completing the thesis will have additional assignments fitting the thesis. SWK 625 Family Practice I The family practice methods sequence builds upon the theoretical framework of systems theory, the problem-solving model, and the strengths perspective from the foundation year. This first course in the sequence introduces students to the family level of need conceptual framework (Kilpatrick & Holland, 1999) as the foundation for choice of models for assessment and intervention with diverse families in a variety of practice settings. Family level of need is conceptualized as a hierarchy of needs ranging from basic survival to issues of intimacy or self-actualization of family members. Levels I (assessment and intervention models and strategies directed at basic survival needs) and II (structure and organization of families) will be taught. Presentation of the models will be integrated with current research, family policy; values, ethics, and global perspectives. SWK 626 Family Practice 2 This second course in the family practice methods sequence proceeds to Levels Ill and IV of the family level of need framework (see above). These levels focus on boundaries, conflict, and intimacy. Students will gain a working knowledge of strategies derived from these models. Presentation of the models will be integrated with current research, family policy, values, ethics, and global perspectives. Prerequisite: SWK 625 SWK 627 Family Practice 3 This third course in the family practice methods sequence offers students a selection of one course from two or more special topics, such as Advanced Family Therapy or Mental Health Practice. This will be an opportunity to tailor the skills learned in Family Practice 1 and 2 to an area of specialization within practice with families. Prerequisite: SWK 626 SWK 630 Family Social Policy This course explores the impact of social policies on diverse families, including policies that relate to housing, income maintenance, health, long-term care, education, and discrimination. This course has a dual purpose: to teach substantive knowledge of child and family policy and to teach policy practice skills. The diversity in families as well as ethnic , racial, cultural, and social class differences will be immersed in all content areas. National and international political, social, and economic systems will be a reference point. SWK 634 Creative Problem Solving in Supervision (.5 credit) This course examines knowledge and skill building in the administrative, educational, and supportive functions of social work supervision. The interactional model, creative problem solving, and strengths perspective are the frameworks for understanding and influencing the dynamics of supervision in a variety of settings. SWK 639 Topics in Family Practice: Ethics (.5 credit) Social workers and other human service professionals are often faced with ethical dilemmas and choices requiring ethical decision-making in all fields of practice. The purpose of this course is to help students acquire the knowledge base for ethical practice and to develop skills in identifying and resolving ethical dilemmas. Also, the course will provide students with tools required to make ethical decisions when confronted with conflicting choices occurring within the context of a profession with a specific values base and a code of ethics addressing ethical principles and standards related to clients, colleagues, employers, the profession of social work, and society. Program Development, Policy, and Administration Concentration Courses SWK 651 AND 652 Field Seminar 3 and 4: PDPA (.5 credit each) The goal of these two courses is to strengthen the connections between theory and practice with both taking on new dimension and meaning for students. All students in field placements must participate in the appropriate concurrent Field Seminar. As part of this integrative function, the seminar also serves as a means for making connections among course components and the expansion of classroom content-particularly as relating to dynamics of groups, communities, and organizations; human behavior; policy analysis; and research. SWK 65 7 AND 658 Diversity and Inequality I and 2: PDPA (.5 credit each) These courses explore diversity and social inequality related to race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability with application to the social service setting. Students focus on the structural and institutional processes through which social inequality is created and perpetuated. Institutional remedies for inequality are studied, such as affirmative action and equal opportunity policy; culturally competent supervision, administration, program development, and advocacy. SWK 660 Research 2: Program Evaluation Building on the basic research skills developed in Research 1, this course offers a program-oriented exploration of the range of research methods used in social work There will be a particular focus on evaluative research, a critique of the role of research in assessing efficiency and effectiveness in social service delivery; and identification with the responsibility of social workers "to expand the knowledge base" of social work The course emphasizes research as a tool at all levels of social work and will be concerned with strengthening the linkages between research, theory, and program evaluation. SWK 667 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 1 This course examines organizational theory and strucLure, processes of development, research, and evaluation, and social work values and ethics in the workplace. The need to work effectively within an organizational context means that social work practitioners must acquire a level of expertise in organization theory, dynamics, structure, and behavior, and also an understanding of how organizations provide practice opportunities and constraints. This course provides opportunities for students to build the necessary skills to become effective service providers or change agents in the context of their work in social service organizations. SWK 668 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 2 This course builds on the theoretical knowledge base of SWK 667 and is intended to provide students with opportunities to apply those critical skills used in supervision and management. These skills are intended as a base for the beginning administrator. This course expects the student to develop specific skills in budgeting and personnel/human resource functions (e.g., recruitment, selection, hiring, training, and evaluation). Prerequisite: SWK 667 SWK 669 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 3 This course explores strategies and methods for working effectively with other service agencies, legislative and policy-making bodies, regulatory agencies, and advocacy groups. Prerequisite: SWK 668 SWK 675 Planning and Policy Practice 1 This course examines theoretical and conceptual ideas concerning human services, their rationale in a market economy, and their relationship to public policy. Students will gain knowledge and build skills in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of services at various levels of system design, taking into account organizational, financial, and technological dimensions within an analytical framework of defined need and demand for service. SWK 676 Planning and Policy Practice 2 This course examines theories, concepts, and analytical frameworks for analyzing policy. lt addresses the role of economics, demographics, politics, values, and other relevant factors on policy design and implementation. The course emphasizes the analysis of selected existing or proposed policies in such areas as social insurance (e.g., Social Security), welfare reform, health care, long-term care, and tax policy including tax expenditures. Prerequisite: SWK 675 Both Concentrations SWK 699 General Elective Students in both concentrations complete at least one general elective credit for graduation. The following are examples of elective offerings that are rotated each year: • Parent and Professional Planning • Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging • Child Welfare: History, Policy, and Practice • Social Work with Involuntary Clients • Spirituality in Social Work and Human Services We also offer electives abroad: Exploring Human Services in International Settings (Examples include England, Mexico , Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, and Taiwan.) SWK 698 Independent Study Students may propose to complete an independent study project. Such directed study projects provide the opportunity for a student to explore a particular area of social work that is of interest to him or her. A faculty sponsor must be secured and a proposal submitted to the Social Work Department. On rare occasions, an independent study may be used to satisfy the general elective requirement. Prior approval is required. Courses that are part of the required curriculum may not be taken as independent study. FIELD WORK AND FIELD PLACEMENT Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through the field experience, we expect that sLUdents will demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative efforts between the student, the field agency, and the MSW program are essential to successful learning. The foundation of the practice includes: • ethical, competent professional practice • problem solving within a systems framework and strengths perspective • use of advanced practice theories in Family Practice or Program Development, Policy, and Administration settings • evaluation of the effecLiveness of program or practice activities • an understanding of, and respecL for, diverse peoples and cultures • responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice • a commitment to oppose oppression of all forms Field Education Format Under the instruction and supervision of professionallytrained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors, students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field practica. Each practicum is spread over at least two trimesters (fall and winter) and is concurrent with enrollment in field work integrative seminars as well as other MSW coursework. The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided into two components: Foundation Practicum The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts emphasis on developing competence as a professional generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours and is completed by students admitted at the foundation level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and winter terms in this practicum. Concentration Practicum The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced practice skills and leadership qualities related to the chosen concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is completed by all students, including those admitted with advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours per week during the fall and winter terms in this practicum. Process for Field Practicum Selection Field practica begin in the fall. Selection begins the previous spring in collaboration with two other Twin Cities MSW programs. Students attend the student field orientation before beginning their search. The opportunity is also provided to attend a Field Fair held jointly by Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota School of Social Work. At this Field Fair, students are able to meet a large number of agencies and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the student, and a matching process conducted collaboratively by the field coordinators at the three MSW programs in the Twin Cities. In some instances, students can petition to complete a field practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their place of employment. Students work with the MSW field coordinator for such proposals. • • • • • • • • victims of torture faith-based social services neighborhood services legislation advocacy housing services employment services community organizing research centers DUAL DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK AND THEOLOGY Augsburg College's Department of Social Work (Minneapolis) and Luther Seminary (St. Paul) offer a dual degree: Master of Social Work and Master of Arts in theology (MSW/MA) or Master of Divinity (MSW/MDiv). The dual degree has been approved by both institutions and by the Council on Social Work Education. If you are interested in combining a Master of Social Work with a Master of Arts in Theology, we recommend you begin with the Luther Seminary program first and identify yourself as seeking the dual degree. For application information visit the Luther Seminary website at www.luthersem.edu/catalog/05_07/ dual_msw.asp. Purpose The dual degree focuses on meeting the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities in both rural and urban settings. Both institutions have a commitment to social and economic justice and to teamwork in the pastoral and human service settings. This joint program is ecumenical in its admission policies as well as its academic outlook. Objectives Field Practicum Settings Three primary objectives have been established: The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of each student in a stimulating and challenging field practicum. Our current list of approved field sites includes agencies in the following areas of practice: • To educate practitioners in social work and ministry who can combine the values, skills, and knowledge of both theology and social work to serve people in more holistic ways. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • family and children child welfare mental health crisis intervention senior resources family social policy health and human services corrections and probation public and independent schools youth services hospitals developmental disabilities American Indian family services chronic and persistent mental illness chemical dependency court services immigrant, migrant, refugee services • To generate the partnerships necessary to serve the complex needs of communities and people experiencing transition in their lives, including the change of government support for those in poverty. • To prepare practitioners to seek the strengths of interdisciplinary teams in the human service and pastoral settings. Enrollment Dual degree students enroll in Luther Seminary courses first. Upon completion of this first year of courses, students then enroll in Augsburg courses for a second and third year (full-time). In the dual degree, Luther Seminary offers nine courses which can be completed in one year if pursued fulltime. The remaining Luther Seminary course requirements are waived and replaced by the Augsburg MSW curriculum. At Augsburg, dual degree students complete the entire MSW curriculum with the exception of the general elective. Course Format and Field Practicum Luther Seminary courses are offered on a weekday schedule and Augsburg College courses are offered on a weekend schedule. The field practicum is incorporated into the Augsburg curriculum and will be in a setting reflective of the dual degree program, such as congregational multidisciplinary teams, nursing home chaplaincy, and social work teams. The Luther Seminary program and the Augsburg College program are both full-time; it is not feasible for students to do both programs simultaneously. Summary of Dual Degree Requirements Luther Seminary full courses: 9 Augsburg College full credits: 12-advanced standing, 17-foundation (elective is met at Luther) MSW field practicum course credit hours: see guidelines under field practicum MSW Summative Evaluation Project Admission to the Dual Degree It is the responsibility of dual degree students to be aware of application deadlines for both institutions. Applicants must apply to each program separately. Please note: admission to one institution does not guarantee admission to the other. To request the catalog and application materials, you must contact each program separately. Financial aid is also a separate process. ADMISSION TO THE MSW PROGRAM The Augsburg College MSW program promotes the widest possible diversity within its student populatiop.. Therefore, the admission policies ensure that educational opportunities are provided to persons with a range of abilities, backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures. Listed below are general descriptions for the application process. Refer to the MSW application documents for details regarding specific application requirements. Admission Requirements • Bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited college or university • Cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher • Liberal arts coursework in the social sciences, humanities, biology, and statistics Application Checklist The following materials must be submitted to Augsburg's Adult and Graduate Admissions Office: • Completed and signed application form-www.augsburg.edu/msw or call 612-330-1520. The application completion deadline is January 15 each year for entry in the following academic year. All applica- tions and materials noted below are due by 5 p.m. on the application completion deadline. • $35 application fee • One official transcript from each previously attended postsecondary institution. This includes colleges, universities, and vocational/technical institutions. • Liberal arts prerequisite coursework including four social sciences, three humanities, one biology, and one statistics course. These courses must be completed prior to enrolhnent. • Completed BSW course equivalency checklist (for advanced standing applicants) • Three completed and signed recommendation checklist forms , with letters attached • Typed, double-spaced personal statement responding to the questions noted on the application form • Results of the TOEFL language tests (for non-native English speakers) • Official international credit evaluation course-by-course review (for degrees completed outside of the United States) Admission as an international student International applicants must submit the required application materials listed above. Refer to the additional requirements outlined in Admission of International Students on page 9. Admission as a transfer student Students may apply to Augsburg as a transfer student. Transfer students follow the same procedure as new applicants. Transfer students may receive up to eight (8.0) transfer credits. (See evaluation of Transfer Credit on p. 6.) Eligible courses must be from a CSWE-accredited program and must receive a grade of B (3.0) or higher. Students must complete no fewer than 10 (10.0) courses at Augsburg in order to receive their MSW degree from Augsburg College. Admission with Advanced Standing Advanced standing is an application category open to those with a bachelor's degree in social work accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) . Advanced standing applicants may seek waivers for up to eight of the following MSW courses: Human Behavior and the Social Environment, History of Social Welfare Policy, Practice Methods 1 and 2, and Integrative Fieldwork Seminars 1 and 2, which include 420 field practicum hours. Advanced standing applicants must offer an equivalent BSW course for each with a grade of B (3 .0) or higher in order to receive a waiver. Admissions Q&A What do I do if my cumulative GPA is below 3.0? Our faculty are willing to review the application files of applicants with a cumulative GPA below 3.0; however, the comparative standard remains 3.0 or higher. A small percentage of applicants not meeting the GPA prerequisite may be admitted, if otherwise qualified. If your GPA is below 3.0, you must include a brief "Explanation of GPA" with your application documents. You should address the following questions: • Were there limitations that affected your GPA? If so, what is your plan to address these limitations? • Were there extenuating circumstances contributing to the GPA? If so , have those circumstances been resolved? Is human service experience required? Although it is not a requirement, strong preference is given to those applicants with paid or volunteer experience in human services, particularly experience that demonstrates responsibility and leadership. Applicants are advised that MSW field placement options may be limited for those who lack prior human service experience. What if my prerequisite coursework is not done? We require nine prerequisite courses for admission to our MSW program. These include four social science courses, three humanities courses, one biology course, and one statistics course. We are willing to review an application if at least seven of the nine prerequisites are finished at the time of application. This means a maximum of two prerequisites can be pending or unfinished at the time of application and the file will still be reviewed. In the event an offer of admission is extended, it will be conditioned on completion of any outstanding prerequisite courses before enrollment in MSW courses. What if my bachelor's degree is not yet finished when I apply? We are willing to review the application file of an applicant who is lacking one semester or two trimesters of coursework (including practicum) at the time of application. This means that when you apply to our program in January; if you have just finished your final fall semester but still have a final spring term to complete, you must ensure that your fall grades have been posted to the official transcript before having it sent to our office for your application. In the event an offer of admission is extended, it will be conditional on the completion of the bachelor's degree before enrollment in MSW courses. Is academic credit granted for life or work experience? Although experience will make for a strong application file, we are unable to waive any degree requirements for work or life experience. This is the policy in all CSWE-accredited programs. May I seek course waivers for the MSW courses listed on the BSSW Equivalency Checklist if I have taken these equivalent courses at the undergraduate level, but did not major in social work? Unfortunately; no. We offer course waivers for certain MSW courses only when the entire BSSW major (CSWE-accred- ited) has been completed by an applicant and we can therefore assume the applicant has been adequately prepared as a generalist social worker. For the particular MSW courses open for waiver to these advanced standing applicants, we expect a grade of B or higher in the BSSW equivalent course. But it also is expected that the remaining BSSW courses from the social work major were completed satisfactorily and the applicant graduated with an accredited bachelor's degree. If an equivalent course has been taken from another MSW program, please ask us about our transfer of credit procedure. Who makes the admission decision on my application file? Each application file is reviewed by three full-time social work faculty who each make a recommendation on the file. These recommendations are taken to the Social Work Admissions Committee which then renders a final admission decision. How long should my personal statement be? On average, MSW applicants submit a personal statement between three and five pages (double spaced). Approximately one page per question is considered adequate. Fewer than three pages is probably too brief, but more than eight is probably too much. May I visit to speak with someone for advice on putting together the strongest possible MSW application? Absolutely! You may contact our graduate admissions counselor at 612-330-1520 or e-mail to mswinfo@augsburg.edu to schedule an advising appointment. ACADEMIC POLICIES Academic Achievement Students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If the cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.0, the student may be dismissed from the program. Students are retained in the program who can: • maintain expected grade point average (3.0 or higher); • complete course requirements of the program and field placement in a timely manner; • complete the program within four years; • abide by the department's Standards for Social Work Education and the NASW Code of Ethics. • No more than two courses with a grade of 2.0 or 2.5 will count toward the degree. Courses with a grade below 2.0 must be repeated. No more than two courses can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. If a student receives a grade of N in a field course the MSW director will initiate a Level III review, as outlined in section 3.2 of the Standards for Social Work Education. Evaluation of Student Field Performance The criteria for evaluating field performance can be found in the MSW Field Manual, which is distributed to newlyadmitted students at our field orientation prior to seeking the field placement. www.aauw.org www.gradview.com www.finaid.org www.petersons.com www.students.gov www.srnexpress.com Four-Year Limit All students are required to finish the degree within four years of matriculation. See page 5 for policy on Continutation of coursework or final thesis. Leave of Absence Students who interrupt their program enrollment must request a leave of absence through the MSW program in order to maintain their admitted status. The request must be made in writing. A leave of absence typically requires a full year away from the program in order to return to classes in sequence. Examples of Social Work Graduate Scholarships Carl A. Scott Book Scholarship Two $500 scholarships offered each year to students from ethnic groups of color. Applications due in May (go to www.cswe.org). Gosnell Scholarship Funds Ten awards ($1 ,000-$4 ,000) offered to social work students interested in working with American Indian/Alaska Native and Hispanic/Latino populations or in public and voluntary nonprofit agency settings. Applications due in August (see www.naswfoundation.org) . Prerequisite Courses All foundation courses are prerequisite to the concentration courses. Students may not enroll in the concentration courses until successfully completing all foundation courses. In addition there are individual courses that are prerequisite to other individual courses in the MSW curriculum. These are listed in the MSW Handbook, which is distributed to newly-admitted students and can be found at www.augsburg.edu/socialwork/msw/policies.html. Graduate Scholarship Search Tips Searching for grants and scholarships for graduate study can be an arduous task. As you may know, graduate students do not have access to many of the financial aid opportunities open to undergraduates. Because of this, we strongly encourage you to spend some time doing your own independent research into graduate funding available locally, nationally; and globally. The simplest way to begin a search for graduate funding is to look online. There are many "free" scholarship search engines on the Web. We suggest you start with these before moving on to the fee-based ser vices. As with most free services, there is a draw-back-your e-mail address may be shared with other organizations that may send you solicitations. You should always use caution when providing your personal information via the Internet. Make sure the webpage you are using to enter a "profile" about yourself is protected by a security system. This is usually indicated by your browser with a closed padlock icon in the lower right corner. You should also check the fine print and know if anything besides your e-mail address will be sold to other organizations. Having said that, the following websites may provide a good starting point for your search : www.naswfoundation.org www.gradloans.com www.cswe.org www.gradschools.com www.mnsocialserviceassoc.org www.fastweb.com Vern Lyons Scholarship One award ($2,000) offered to students interested in health/mental health practice and a commitment to the African American community. Applications due in August (see www.naswfoundation.org). American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work Several awards ($1,000 each) offered to students who demonstrate excellence in preparation for clinical social work practice. Applications due in March (see www.abecsw.org). MSSA Diversity Educational Scholarship One $500 award offered to students from African-American, American Indian, Asian, GLBT, Hispanic and Immigrant Cultures in completing their education in the Human Service Field. Applications due in June (see www.mnsocialserviceassoc .org). Marjorie J. Carpenter Scholarship One $1,500 award offered to students seeking education in the human service field so they may enhance their professional and/or technical skill development. Applications due injune (see www.mnsocialserviceassoc.org). Resources in Academic Libraries Most academic libraries have several directories to peruse if you prefer using hard print. Examples in Augsburg's library reference section: Grants Register Directory of Financial Aids for Women Scholarships and Other Financial Aid for Minnesota Students Financial Aid for Native Americans 1999-2000 (part of a series consisting of additional volumes for African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans .) Augsburg Scholarships Augsburg's Social Work Department offers several scholarships each year. These are available to second-year students only. They range in amount from $300 to $3,000. Phyllis M. Baker Memorial Scholarship Edwina L. Hertzberg Scholarship Arvida Norum Memorial Scholarship Steen Family Scholarship Fund for Minority Social Work Students Edwin Yattaw Memorial Scholarship Bodo F. Suemning Memorial Scholarship Blanca Rosa Egas Memorial Scholarship AmeriCorps Tuition Discount Augsburg offers a tuition discount to students who are or have been AmeriCorps volunteers-25% off the tuition cost of one course per trimester. This would apply to all trimesters of your MSW program. Military Discount (see page 11.) Other Resources There is a general guide on Augsburg's webpage that gives advice to "seniors" about finding funding for graduate school-go to www.augsburg.edu/gradstudy. ACCREDITATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Augsburg Master of Social Work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education ( CSWE). For a complete list of Augsburg's accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see page 3. MSW FORUM All MSW students are invited to participate in the studentrun organization, MSW Forum. The purpose of the forum is to facilitate communication between social work students and the social work department, as well as to provide the opportunity for student participation in department governance, curriculum development, and program improvements. As such, forum members are invited to attend Social Work department meetings via representatives. The forum historically has been volunteer based. Any student may serve on the forum, provided he or she can make a commitment to attend the meetings and share in the efforts. The MSW director and MSW program coordinator also serve on the forum. Other faculty may be invited as permanent members or as guests. • receive and give feedback on expectations of faculty, students, and the College • plan and coordinate MSW student events, lectures, discussions • organize social action projects FACULTY Anthony Bibus, III, Professor of Social Work, Department Chair.

Leaders need specialists as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ... At higher levels of leadership they cannot achieve their full potential without considerable breadth of knowledge.

While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: • a vision which is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; • an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; • a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face, and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; "' the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and • the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which individuals aspiring to enhance their leadership skills may discover and refine these and other abilities and awarenesses fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours. Leadership Development Model The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities and awarenesses. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. Leadership Development Model Leadership Sense of Vision / Orientation Toward Action "" Ethical Creative "" Social awareness "" Environmental awareness "" Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences "" Appreciation of situational complexity ' "" Long-term perspective "" Flexibility "" Adaptability "" Innovativeness Facility for Persuasion / Communicative "" "" "" "" "" Effective listener Effective speaker Effective writer Diplomatic ability Effective team member "" Interpersonal sensitivity \ Risk Assumptive "" Curiosity "" Achievement motivation "" Self-esteem Decisive Self-confidence Analytical ability "" Ability to think critically "" Understanding of research .& Ability to manage conflict .& .& ""' Culturally Aware "" Appreciation for cultural differences "" World-view perspective "" Tolerance of individual differences Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is participation in a community of learners. Learning can be. enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Leadership Practicum . ., .· .·.· Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this professional assessment and development course for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each term, specific activities related to the practicum are scheduled. Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 7). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint." In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff. .Liurriculum Design Master of Arts in Leadership students are required to complete 12 courses and a thesis. Each course unites two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques are varied, such as case study, debate, written and oral presentation and group activity. The e techniques, which have had demon trat d succes in advan d courses, develop targeted leadership abilities and understandings. Continual reinforcement occurs as students employ these capacities in multiple courses. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to see content areas as integrated. The very form of the program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative ability. Required Courses Include: ML 500 ML 510 ML 590 ML 591 ML 592 Leadership Practicum (a half course which spans six trimesters) Foundations of Leadership (to be taken during one of the first three trimesters) Thesis-Research Seminar I Thesis-Research Seminar II (These two seminars are to be taken in a student's last two consecutive terms.) Thesis Consultation (a half course to be taken simultaneously with ML 591 and in the term in which the thesis is completed) Students are required to complete eight additional courses chosen from the following courses: ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 Self-Identity, Values and Personal Growth ML 521 Methods of Critical Thought ML 530 Ethics in Communication ML 531 The Dynamics of Change ML 540 Politics, History and Leadership ML 545 Analytical Reasoning for Qualitative Decisions ML 550 Decision-Making Technology ML 560 Developing a Multi-Cultural Perspective ML 598 Independent Study ML 599 Special Topics Other courses as added urse Descriptions ML 500 Leadership Practicum A professional assessment and development course which spans six terms. This course includes a full-day professional assessment and subsequent workshops in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes. The course culminates in a final professional assessment. Half credit. Graded on a P /N basis. ML 510 Foundations of Leadership Introduction to the concept of leadership, providing an historical and philosophical framework for the program. This course views the nature and purpose of leadership from a variety of disciplines and perspectives.

While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership. Accommodating the FullTime Work Schedule Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined and well- motivated individuals, seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays for threeand-one-half hours and alternate Thursday evenings for one-andone-half hours. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs and Christensen Center. Individual Professional Development An important component of the MAL program is the professional assessment. The assessment can help students to identify leadership skills and preferred work and learning styles. Nationally recognized test instruments are used; based on the results, students are encouraged to create personalized goals and plans to strengthen areas that may require further development. MAL Practica are designed to meet student needs in areas such as interpersonal communication, approaches to career change, coping with workplace problems, time management and other issues related to leadership and professional development. ~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. AUGSBURG Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Sense of Vision / Ethical • Social awareness • Environmental awareness • Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences • Appreciation of situational complexity Orientation Toward Action ~ ~ Creative Facility for Persuasion / Communicative •Long-term perspective • Flexibility • Adaptability • Innovativeness • Effective listener • Effective speaker • Effective writer • Diplomatic ability • Effective team member • Interpersonal sensitivity "" Culturally Aware • Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of individual differences ' Risk Assumptive •Curiosity • Achievement motivation • Self-esteem Decisive • Self-confidence • Analytical ability • Ability to think critically • Understanding of research • Ability to manage conflict (This model was developed by Augsburg Faculty Graduate Advisory Committee, 1985-87.) ~RICULUM DESIGN There are two ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option, students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option, students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires welldeveloped integrative abilities. Thesis/LAP Option Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an indepth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadershiprelated topic. This researchbased study gives the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and courserelated activities. The principal distinction between the Thesis and the Leadership Application Project lies in their underlying orientation. A Thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project is based on practical application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592, 593 and 594. Differences between these two options will be explored in ML 514 Research Methods and in ML 593 Leadership Research Seminar I. Students who do not complete their Thesis or Leadership Application Project while enrolled in ML 594 Leadership Research Seminar II are required to pay a continuation fee. Non-Thesis Option An alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers, as described below. The first of these papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. A student must get a grade of 3.5 or higher on this major paper to complete the Non-Thesis requirement. If the grade for the paper is below 3.5, the student will revise the paper WuRRICULUM DESIGN Elective Courses for Both Options: (at least 7.0 course credits) and submit it to the MAL faculty panel for review and approval. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. A student must get a grade of 3.5 or higher on this paper; it will then be submitted to the MAL faculty panel for review and approval. The judgment of the MAL faculty panel is the final one. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in a special annual colloquium. All courses are valued at 1.0 credit, unless otherwise designated. ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation (0.5 course) ML 521 Methods of Critical Thought (Note: If students wish to (ML 592 is taken in conjunction with ML 594.)

NOTE: Additional information may be required, as requested by Augsburg College, to accurately evaluate educational credentials. Furthermore, supplemental information may be needed to issue an 1-20 or J-1 for students admitted to the MAL program. Information requested for the 1-20 or J-1 will not be used to make an admission decision. ~ALUATION STANDARDS Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence. 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards. 2.5 2;0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard. Performance below basic course standards. Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course). p Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average). N Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and non-punitive - not computed in grade point average). w Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline for dropping without notation on the record I Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the Graduate Programs Office stating reasons for the request, the plan and date for removing the incomplete grade, the signature of the instructor and any other necessary documentation.) Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. ~DENT RIGHTS The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and provides due process in matters of disciplinary action, grievances and grade appeal. Students who wish to identify appropriate procedures for complaints should contact the Vice President for Student Affairs (330-1160). The College operates in compliance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act and Title IX. Students have the right to inspect all official records that pertain to them and that are maintained in the Registrar's Office and the Placement Office (except where a waiver of access has been signed) and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Students have a right to experience education free from discrimination. A Because leadership issues are presented, discussed and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. TTENDANCE POLICY Irregular attendance may, at the discretion of the instructor, adversely affect one's grade. A cADEMIC POLICIES Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies Credit for Prior Education Enrollment Policy/ Leaves of Absence Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of Nor 0.0 is received, the student may be dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the courses in the MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program director for approval of any variation in the curriculum including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those earned from accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to those in the MAL program. No more than two courses will be accepted for transfer credit. Students may take either one or two courses per trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester enables a student to complete the course work in the program within two years. All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory Committee. Students who leave the program for more than one trimester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MAL program director. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Time spent on an official leave of absence will not count toward the five year deadline for degree completion. Credit and Contact Hours Each full-credit graduate course in the MAL program is the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in class a total of 31.5 hours and are responsible for a significant amount of individual study and preparation. Last Day to Withdraw from Class The last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a "W" on their records is published annually in the MAL Calendar. ~DENT SUPPORT SERVICES Academic advising from the MAL director for program planning is available. As students approach the capstone experience, they select thesis or project advisers to guide them throughout the completion of their program. Graduate program staff are also available to help students with nonacademic advising issues. and a career-search plan are available through the Career Services Office, (612) 330-1162.

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

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

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

Leaders need specialists as advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ...

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

This consequently determines how one lives his or her life. Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 9 GENERAL INFORMATION History Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. The Campus and Its Location Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation, and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center is located in Delta dormitory. 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Philosophy and Objectives Colden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Colden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, mission, administrative assistant, law enforcement, and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semi-professional program. Colden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... to develop knowledge of the Judeo-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments. to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations. to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in the metropolitan area. to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and through participation in physical education and sports activities. to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people, and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. GENERAL INFORMATION 11 Accreditation and Transfer of Credit Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities.

STUDENT UfE 13 STUDENT LIFE Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and experiences which help develop the whole person. The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships. New Student Pre-Registration Prior to the start of the fal I quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. Counseling Services The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Health Services The College has a full-time registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible. 14 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Library The library, located on the ground floor of the Main building, provides a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula. There are over 32,000 volumes, 245 periodicals, local and national newspapers, and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including phonograph records and cassettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary listening and viewing equipment available to the students. Insurance The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies that will cover losses of family members at college. Housing Services Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in the cateteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21-meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in the College cafeteria. Student Government and Social Life A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life more enjoyable. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. Guidance regarding student life on campus is provided by the Student Life Handbook. STUDENT LIFE 15 Religious Life As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services, all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are coordinated by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith & Life Commission. Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in world mission activities. The College has a fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part. There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to present the Gospel in word and song. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. Chapel is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a sense of community. Each student is encouraged to participate in chapel programs of the college community and to attend public worship every Sunday. Student Use of Automobiles Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the Business Office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit at any time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles. 16 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Alcohol and Drug Abuse Colden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in college-approved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action.

Colden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state statutes pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student who uses, possesses, or persuades someone else to use alcohol or drugs in violation of the law will be subject to disciplinary action.

Music Colden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and spiritual values that music contributes to our society. It desires, therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music by giving opportunity for self-expression as a member of a performing group. These groups include the Colden Valley Lutheran College Choir, a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Colden Valley Singers, a women's chorus; a pep band and concert band; the Colden Valley Orchestra, a community and college organization; and various vocal and instrumental ensembles. In addition to specific courses in the field of music, the College offers private voice and instrumental instruction.

COSTS 21 COSTS Student Costs 1985-86 The following sections explain the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room or fees at any time. The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year. Therefore, over and above any financial aid given, each student receives the equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total expenses of the operation. The College does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from corporations. Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three-year period. As we make our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these many friends.

Other Assistance Programs College Payment Schedule: Because many people prefer to pay educational expenses in installments, Golden Valley Lutheran College has set up a tuition payment plan. This plan is a convenient payment program beginning in June and ending in February. Hidden Subsidy: Golden Valley Lutheran College gives a "hidden subsidy" each year to every student who attends the College as a full-time student. This "hidden subsidy" reflects the fact that the total instruc- FINANCIAL AID 27 tional program at the College costs more than the total amount received from tuition and fees. Such a "hidden subsidy" is made possible by many gifts from many sources, especially church congregations, alumni, and friends of the College. The College also receives income from endowment funds. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan: If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same rates described under Federal Insured Student Loans. Other Grants: There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at Golden Valley Lutheran College for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid 1. Apply and be accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Request an application form from the Office of Admissions, Golden Valley Lutheran College, 6125 Olson Highway, Golden Valley, MN 55422. 2. If you are applying only for Golden Valley Lutheran College scholarships and grants, and not for state or federal grants, indicate this on the Golden Valley Lutheran College Financial Aid Application. 3. To apply for federal or Minnesota aid you must complete a Family Financial Statement (FFS) and a Student Data Form using income information for the 1984 tax year and submit it to ACT. Forms are available from your high school guidance counselor or by writing the Office of Admissions at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Although the FFS is preferred, non-Minnnesota residents may submit the CSS Financial Aid Form. Allow six to eight weeks for processing of the ACT Family Financial Statement. 4. Since all financial aid programs have limited funds, within ten days of our notifying you that you will receive financial aid you must let us know that you accept the offer. Funds that are not accepted are given to other students who need them. All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year. Students, however, may expect to receive financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded from College funds for the quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. Golden Valley Lutheran College makes every effort to enable all accepted students to attend regardless of financial resources. Your financial need may be met through a combination of federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs. We encourage students and parents to visit campus to discuss financial planning. 28 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Scholarships The AAL Lutheran American Minority Scholarship Program is available for any Lutheran American minority person who is a member of a Lutheran church, or is an immigrant who has been sponsored by a Lutheran organization and is attending Golden Valley Lutheran College.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ACADEMIC PROGRAM Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on their major and other requirements during the last two years of college. General education courses invite the student to learn about the world, the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. General Academic Information Credit load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of credits attempted. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Honor Points Grade Per Credit A Superior 4 B Above Average 3 Average 2 D Below Average 1 F Failure 0 c I v w WF s u Incomplete* Audit Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** 2 for J.C.C. only *A grade of I will be granted to a student for reasons beyond the student's control if the student has done satisfactory work prior to the emergency and after consultation by the student with the course instructor. Incomplete work must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends or within one year if the student does not return to Colden Valley Lutheran College. If a student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed in the allotted time, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin. ***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be r:ounseled in relation to academic progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory. A student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activites curtailed or programs of study reduced at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. U nsatisfadory Academic Progress For purposes of reporting, a full-time student shall be considered as making unsatisfactory progress if the student fails to earn 31 credits within each academic year.

In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.)

Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which the Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at the College.

All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the sequence, English 111 and 112-College Composition, and English 113lntroduction to Literature, has been completed.

Co-Curricular Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Co-curricular activities include all music ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 35 Orientation and Registration All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the proper courses is the individual student's responsibility. Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by special permission. A student may not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin. Repeating a Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record. Withdrawals from the College A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar. When the application has been signed and returned to the Office of the Registrar, grades of W will be recorded for all courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the date that the application is returned to the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all classes.

Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will best help the student understand the world in which he will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart, and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 7 General Information HISTORY Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beginning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis, in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large split-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. · Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and 8 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a grill is located in Delta dormitory. PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also provide opportunity for a study of the sources oi the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for semi-professional employment in the fields of parish work, missions, secretarial work, social service and recreational leadership. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... . . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments . . . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations . . . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theater through courses and cultural events on the campus and through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College. GENERAL INFORMATION 9 ... to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and participation in physical education and sports activities . . . . to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. ACCREDITATION, AFFILIATIONS AND TRANSFER OF CREDIT Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Val_ley Lutheran College, their credits will be accepted elsewhere in the academic community. Affiliations Lutheran Educational Conference of North America National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities American Association of Community and Junior Colleges Association of Minnesota Colleges Minnesota Association of Community and Junior Colleges Minnesota Junior College Athletic Association National Junior College Athletic Association-Region XIII Minnesota Community College Women's Athletic Association Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-Region VI Minnesota Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Transfer of Religion Courses With reference to transfer of religion courses, it should be noted that most colleges and universities accept our courses in religion. Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable, and a student with a sat"isfactory academic record can normally complete a Bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the A.A. degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College. GENERAL GUIDELINES Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly. ' The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct themselves in a manner which is not in the best interests of the 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE individual, other students, or the College. Each student is expected to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily chapel services of the College community. He or she is also encouraged to attend public worship every Sunday in the church of ones choice. Student Use of Automobiles Since parking space is limited on campus, those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the business office. The Dean of Students shall have the right to terminate a car permit at any time if, in his opinion, circumstances warrant such action. Alcohol and Drug Abuse Golden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from using alcoholic beverages. Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcoholic beverages on campus, in collegeapproved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action. In instances where college officials are informed that Golden Valley Lutheran College students have caused a disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol, the college reserves the right to take disciplinary action. Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state statutes pertaining to the illegal use of drugs. A student who uses, possesses, or persuades someone else to use drug substances in violation of the laws will be subject to disciplinary action. The college's action will be determined by the circumstances surrounding each individual case. STUDENT PERSONNEL 11 Student Personnel Services NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. The orientation period also includes a series of ability and vocational interest tests which are used to help provide a more effective counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. COUNSELING SERVICES The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, social, personal, and vocational problems. The College counselors are available to assist students in clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, and to help them plan programs in preparation for further study. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to the 12 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE assigned faculty advisor, each student may make appointments to visit with instructors, Residence Hall Directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance if difficulties are encountered. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation courses described on page 63. HEAL TH SERVICES The College has a registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. INSURANCE The personal property of staff members and students is not covered by insurance and the college does not assume any responsibility for the loss of such property. HOUSING SERVICES Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. Provided space is available, all full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase either their noon luncheon or evening dinner in the College cafeteria. STUDENT LIFE 13 Student Life Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and experiences which help develop the student's total life. The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation together with programs that stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships. STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL LIFE Student self-government is carried out by a Committee on Student Activities (CSA) elected by the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of student-faculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make the life of the student more enjoyable. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by a Student Judiciary Board. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the CSA. Homecoming, Sno-Daze, and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. RELIGIOUS LIFE As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that sound ·religious life activities must be an integral part of its program. In support of this conviction, the College has regularly scheduled chapel services and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer and Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. In addition, many students participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in World Mission Fellowships. The Col- 14 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE lege has a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many of the athletes take an active part. There is also an opportunity to participate on youth encounter teams which travel throughout the Midwest presenting the Gospel in word and song. ATHLETICS Basic objectives in physical education and athletics at Golden Valley Lutheran College are to teach the value of good health and physical fitness, to cultivate interest in the proper use of leisure time, to develop character and good sportsmanship and to give instruction in various sports and games used in recreational activities. Intercollegiate athletic competition for men is available in football, baseball, basketball, wrestling, track, and cross country. The College is a member of the Minnesota State Junior College Conference and the National Junior College Athletic Association. Women may participate in intercollegiate basketball, cross country, softball, volleyball and track competition. An intramural program is available for both men and women. MUSIC Golden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and spiritual value that music plays in the life of any society. It desires, therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music by giving opportunity for self-expression as a member of a performing group. These organizations include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Golden Valley Singers, a women's chorus; a pep band and concert band; the Golden Valley Orchestra, a community and College organization; and various vocal and instrumental ensembles.

Most of the funds, however, come from individual gifts. These contributors include alumni, parents and friends of the college. There are two programs to which people have committed themselves. They are the Loyalty program, where one may pledge $400 to be paid over a four-year period, and the Inasmuch program, where one may pledge $1,000 or more to be paid over a four-year period.

FINANCIAL AID 23 Financial Aid Golden Valley Lutheran College offers several· kinds of financial aid to help students and their parents defray the expenses incurred by the student's college education. All such awards are made by the Financial Aid Committee and are based on the student's academic achievement, special abilities, and financial need. Basically, there are three sources of financial aid: Federal Government State of Minnesota Golden Valley Lutheran College There are three forms of aid: Gift Aid Loans Student Employment All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year, but students may expect to receive their financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during the quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that was awarded from College funds for that quarter as well as proportionate amounts awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. GIFT AID Gift Aid is a categorical name given to all awards from GVLC plus the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and the Minnesota State Scholarship/ Grant Program. These awards do not have to be repaid. Basic Educational Opportunity Grant-A grant provided by the 24 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Federal Government based on financial need. Th·e amount is determined by a formula based on expected parental contribution from income and assets. Students applying for financial aid from the College will be expected to apply for this grant. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant-Awarded by the Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC to make awards of $200 or more to students who show exceptional financial need. Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid-Includes all awards in the areas of academics, athletics, Christian service, drama and music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are based on demonstrated excellence in the specified skill area and financial need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family Financial Statement. The GVLC Gift Aid awarded to freshmen is based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded to sophomores is based on participation and achievement while freshmen at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the student's account each quarter. Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program-Available to Minnesota residents with awards up to $1,250 per year depending on need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC are expected to apply for this aid. Contact your high school counselor or the GVLC Financial Aid Office for specifics because filing details (such as deadlines) vary from year to year. Other Grants- There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his/her high school counselor and the College's Director of Financial Aid for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. DEFERRED PAYMENT LOANS National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)-Federal NDSL Loans are available to students who have financial need and have been accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the student completes his/her studies. The interest rate is 3%, and repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or specified military duty. Guaranteed Student Loans- The student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from a bank, and the federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. FINANCIAL AID 25 When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from the Minnesota State Student Loan program. First year students are limited to $1,500 per loan, but may apply for second loans under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan-If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT College Work-Study Program-Golden Valley Lutheran College participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's eligibility depends on his/her financial need and individual skills. Student Part-time Employment- The College offers a variety of campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous part-time employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available. PROCEDURE FOR APPL YING FOR FINANCIAL AID In general, no financial aid is offered to entering freshmen unti I they have declared their intention to attend. The first step, then, is to apply and be admitted to the College. In addition to the application for admission, the student must complete an application for financial aid and return it to the Admissions Office. The next step is to obtain from the high school counselor an ACT Family Financial Statement as this is the basic means used to determine financial need. Many otherwise qualified students fail to ' receive financial assistance simply because they failed to get their financial statements sent in early enough; they should be on file before March 1. Minnesota residents must file the ACT Family Financial Statement by March 1 to be eligible for the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Students who complete the above process can expect to hear from the Director of Financial Aid as soon as all pertinent information can be assembled. Once a qualified student receives the resulting Financial Aid "Package," he or she must indicate acceptance within three weeks of the date of receipt.

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 29 The Academic Program Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. In addition there are specialized programs of study available for certain qualified students who do not seek a graduation award. The academic program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is basically liberaf arts and allows one to concentrate in the area of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who eventually plan to attain a four-year liberal arts degree are encouraged to get the general education requirements satisfied while at GVLC, thus allowing them to concentrate chiefly on their major and minor areas of study during the last two years of college. General education courses ask the student to know something of the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION Credit Load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's 30 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE faculty advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Students enrolled for 12 or more credit-hours per term will be considered full-time; those with less than 12 credit-hours will be considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits will be classified as a freshman; a student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits will be classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is figured at the end of each term and is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Grade A B c D F I w WF s u Honor Points Per Credit 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 Superior Above Average Average Below Average Failure Incomplete* Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** *Incomplete work, receiving a grade of I, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student wants an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ***An optional grading system of Sand U may be used at the discretion of the instructor for non-transferable credit. If a student is to work for an S instead of a letter grade, the decision must be determined by the instructor and the student before the sixth week of the quarter. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts degree. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. Unsatisfactory Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to unsatisfactory progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1 .50 or above. A student who persists in a pattern of unsatisfactory progress may be dismissed from college. Eligibility For Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must earn a grade point average of 1.50 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College Catalog. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See N.J.C.A.A. Eligibility Rules.) With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1 .50 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at-the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. Repeating A Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a D or F grade has been received, only the more recent grade earned will be entered on the student's transcript and included in the computation of the grade point average. Class Attendance Each student is responsible for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's objectives. I ndependent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102, English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for selection. The suggested Bible core sequence is listed on pages 57-58. All freshmen students are required to take the sequence in College English (English 111, 112, 113). THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category, however one physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for varsity sports. (If the student plays on a varsity team two years, only one credit will be granted for the sport.) Co-curricular activities include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, Golden Valley Singers, Madrigal Singers, Band, Golden Valley Orchestra, Theater Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration whether the activity is being taken for credit or non-credit. Credit by Special Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies. Admission of Transfer Students College work done at other accredited institutions may be applied toward a degree or certificate at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Transfer students are required to follow regular admissions procedure and submit an official transcript of record from each college attended. Credit for the college work done, if satisfactory in grade and applicable toward the College's divisional degree requirements, will be accepted toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Golden Valley Lutheran College will not accept D's in transfer except by special petition approved by the Scholastic Standing Committee. The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not included in the computation of the grade point average. Withdrawals from the College If a student wishes to withdraw from the College during any term, application for this action must be made in the Office of the Registrar. An unauthorized withdrawal results in failure in all courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the time the application was approved.

Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar.

Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will best help the student understand the world in which he will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart, and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President Gl:NERAL INFORMAllON 7 General Information HISTORY Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beginning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis, in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, ecohomic, racial, and religious backgrounds. THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large split-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. · Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities· incJude fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer a:nd 8 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a grill is located in Delta dormitory. PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also piovide opportunity for a study of the sources oi the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for semi-professional employment in the fields of parish work, missions, secretarial work, social service and recreational leadership. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... . . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments . . . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations . . . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theater through courses and cultural events on the campus and through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College. GENERAL INFORMATION 9 ... to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and participation in physical education and sports activities . . . . to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. ACCREDITATION, AFFILIATIONS AND TRANSFER OF CREDIT Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978.

Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion .credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable, and a student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete a Bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the A.A. degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College. GENERAL GUIDELINES Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly. ' The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct themselves in a manner which is not in the best interests of the 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE individual, other students, or the College. Each student is expected to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily chapel services of the College community. He or she is also encouraged to attend public worship every Sunday in the church of ones choice. Student Use of Automobiles Since parking space is limited on campus, those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the business office. The Dean of Students shall have the right to terminate a permit :at any time if, in his opinion,. circumstances warrant such action.

Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in college-approved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action.

Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state statutes pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student who uses, possesses, or persuades someone else to use alcohol or drugs in violation of the laws will be subject to disciplinary action. The college's action will be determined by the circumstances surrounding each individual case. STUDENT PERSONNEL 11 Student Personnel Services NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. The orientation period also includes a series of ability and personality tests which are used to help provide a more effective counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. COUNSELING SERVICES The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, social, personal, and vocational problems. The College counselors are available to assist students in clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, to help them plan programs in preparation for further study, and to help them deal with personal and/or emotional problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each aca.. demic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to the 12 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE assigned faculty advisor, each student may make appointments to visit Vv'ith instructors, Residence Hall Directors, the deans, the Co!lege nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance if difficulties are encountered. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation courses described on page 63. HEAL TH SERVICES The College has a registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. INSURANCE The personal property of staff members and students is not covered by insurance and the college does not assume any responsibility for the loss of such property. HOUSING SERVICES Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. Provided space is available, all full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who commute from their tiomes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week.

Homecoming, Sno-Daze, and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available.

FINANCIAL AID 23 Financial Aid Golden Valley Lutheran College offers several· kinds of financial aid to help students and their parents defray the expenses incurred by the student's college education. All such awards are made by the Financial Aid Committee and are based on the student's academic achievement, special abilities, and financial need. Basically, there are three sources of financial aid: Federal Government State of Minnesota Golden Valley Lutheran College There are three forms of aid: Gift Aid Loans Student Employment All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year, but students may expect to receive their financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during the quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that was awarded from College funds for that quarter as well as proportionate amounts awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. GIFT AID Gift Aid is a categorical name given to all awards from GVLC plus the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and the Minnesota State Scholarship/ Grant Program. These awards do not have to be repaid. Basic Educational Opportunity Grant-A grant provided by the 24 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Federal Government based on financial need. Th.e amount is determined by a formula based on expected parental contribution from income and assets. Students applying for financial aid from the College will be expected to apply for this grant. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant-Awarded by the Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC to make awards of $200 or more to students who show exceptional financial need. Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid-Includes all awards in the areas of academics, athletics, Christian service, drama and music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are based on demonstrated excellence in the specified skill area and financial need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family Financial Statement. The GVLC Gift Aid awarded to freshmen is based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded to sophomores is based on participation and achievement while freshmen at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the student's account each quarter. Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program-Available to Minnesota residents with awards up to $1,250 per year depending on need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC are expected to apply for this aid. Contact your high school counselor or the GVLC Financial Aid Office for specifics because filing details (such as deadlines) vary from year to year. Other Grants- There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his/her high school counselor and the College's Director of Financial Aid for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. DEFERRED PAYMENT LOANS National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)-Federal NDSL Loans are available to students who have financial need and have been accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the student completes his/her studies. The interest rate is 3%, and repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or specified military duty. Guaranteed Student Loans-The student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from a bank, and the federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. FINANCIAL AID 25 When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from the Minnesota State Student Loan program. First year students are limited to $1,500 per loan, but may apply for second loans under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office. Lutheran Brotherhood loan-If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT College Work-Study Program-Golden Valley Lutheran College participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's eligibility depends on his/her financial need and individual skills. Student Part-time Employment- The College offers a variety of campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous part-time employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available. PROCEDURE FOR APPL YING FOR FINANCIAL AID In general, no financial aid is offered to entering freshmen until they have declared their intention to attend. The first step, then, is to apply and be admitted to the College. In addition to the application for admission, the student must complete an application for financial aid and return it to the Admissions Office. The next step is to obtain from the high school counselor an ACT Family Financial Staiement as this is the basic means used to determine financial need. Many otherwise qualified students fail to receive financial assistance simply because they failed to get their financial statements sent in early enough; they should be on file before March 1. Minnesota residents must file the ACT Family Financial Statement by March 1 to be eligible for the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Students who complete the above process can expect to hear from the Director of Financial Aid as soon as a!! pertinent information can be assembled. Once a qualified student receives the resulting Financial Aid "Package," he or she must indicate acceptance within three weeks of the date of receipt.

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 29 The Academic Program Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. In addition there are specialized programs of study available for certain qualified students who do not seek a graduation award. The academic program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is basically liberaf arts and allows one to concentrate in the area of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who eventually plan to attain a four-year liberal arts degree are encouraged to get the general education requirements satisfied while at GVLC, thus allowing them to concentrate chiefly on their major and minor areas of study during the last two years of college. General education courses ask the student to know something of the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION Credit Load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's 30 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE faculty advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Students enro!!ed for 12 or more credit-hours per term will be considered full-time; those with less than 12 credit-hours will be considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits will be classified as a freshman; a student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits will be classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is figured at the end of each term and is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Grade A B c Honor Points Per Credit 4 3 2 D 1 F I 0 w WF s u 0 0 0 0 Superior Above Average Average Below Average Failure Incomplete* Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** *Incomplete work, receiving a grade of I, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student wants an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ***An optional grading system of Sand U may be used at the discretion of the instructor for non-transferable credit. If a student is to work for an S instead of a letter grade, the decision must be determined by the instructor and the student before the sixth week of the quarter. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts degree. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. Unsatisfactory Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to unsatisfactory progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1 .50 or above. A student who persists in a pattern of unsatisfactory progress may be dismissed from college. Eligibility for Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter. He or she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.) With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Repeating A Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a D or F grade has been received, only the more recent grade earned will be entered on the student's transcript and included in the computation of the grade point average. Class Attendance Each student is responsible for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102, English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for selection. The suggested Bible core sequence is listed on pages 57-58. All freshmen students are required to take the sequence in College English (English 111, 112, 113). THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category, however one physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for varsity sports. (If the student plays on a varsity team two years, only one credit will be granted for the sport.) Co-curricular activities include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, Golden Valley Singers, Madrigal Singers, Band, Golden Valley Orchestra, Theater Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration whether the activity is being taken for credit or non-credit. Credit by Special Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies. Admission of Transfer Students College work done at other accredited institutions may be applied toward a degree or certificate at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Transfer students are required to follow regular admissions procedure and submit an official transcript of record from each college attended. Credit for the college work done, if satisfactory in grade and applicable toward the College's divisional degree requirements, will be accepted toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Golden Valley Lutheran College will not accept D's in transfer except by special petition approved by the Scholastic Standing Committee. The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not included in the computation of the grade point average. Withdrawals from the College If a student wishes to withdraw from the College during any term, application for this action must be made in the Office of the Registrar. An unauthorized withdrawal results in failure in all courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the time the application was approved. (See page 22.) 34 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE REGISTRATION New students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. Until such settlement has been made, the student is not eligible to attend any class or individual lesson. Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes, upon the written approval of the Academic Dean, the advisor, and the teachers concerned. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except upon petition and favorable action by the Academic Affairs Committee. Petition forms are available from the Registrar's Office. There is a $1.00 fee for each change in registration after the tenth day of classes. Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after Mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or F as determined by the instructor. A student may not drop a course after final examinations begin. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 35 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 37 Graduation Requirements Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan the college program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with an advisor, the Registrar or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Affairs. The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her program includes all requirements for graduation. The advisors, the Academic Dean, and the Registrar will gladly assist in every way possible.
