''Teacher leadership means that a teacher is able to have
the power to influence policy, curriculum and procedures
within the individual school and the school district. It means
teachers having responsibility for instruction of children,

influence what happens in schools.''

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

~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL
..
.,
The MEL program promotes
leadership as a process which
I) inspires cooperation among
people, 2) promotes productivity
within and beyond the educational organization, and
3) works toward growth and
change within the educational
organization. Individuals in
leadership roles identify three
key attributes of leadership: a
sense of vision, the ability to
persuade, and the ability to
direct action. These attributes
form the framework for the
Leadership Developm~nt Model

Leadership Courses
(4.5-6.5 course credits)
These courses are required of
students pursuing the MEL
degree and are not available to
students who are not enrolled in

leadership courses provide
students with a supportive framework within which to investigate
leadership and the institution of
education, to consider themselves as leaders, and to develop
expertise in a topic of choice.

These courses are available to
degree seeking students but are
not available to non-degree
seeking students. For students
wanting to explore issues of
leadership and organizational
change within a broader context,
the MEL program will allow up
to two electives from the Master
of Arts in Leadership program.
These courses become part of
the Focus II component of the
MEL program. See the Master
of Arts in Leadership program
bulletin for courses.
Some students express a theoretical and/or empirical interest in
the study of education and/or
leadership and identify topics
which lend themselves to a
more traditional thesis project.
An example of a thesis project
would be a comparison of the
effects of two instructional
strategies on student learning.
The connection to leadership
comes as the thesis writer
considers how to share his/her
expertise with others.

P rnjed:
At, or near, the completion of
the course work for the MEL
program, students are required
to develop and carry out a study
or project related to education
and leadership. The focus can be
on an issue in education with
opportunities for personal
leadership, or it can focus on
leadership itself within the
context of education. This
research-based capstone
experience affords students the
opportunity to become an expert
in an area of personal interest as
well as to "tie together" what
has been learned throughout the
MEL program. Students have
the option to select either a
Thesis or a Leadership
Application Project. The decision as to which of these
alternatives is selected depends
Other students express interest
in an applied project which
includes the development and
implementation of an idea
related to education. These
students find the Leadership
Application Project to be the
appropriate culminating
experience. An example of a
leadership application project is
one which includes the development and implementation of a
peer mediation training program
at the middle school level.
Leadership issues emerge as
part of the training of students
and staff in the use of the
program.
In both capstone experiences,
research forms the foundation
for decision-making and
direction.

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall
and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to
investigate questions and topics in places and ways not
possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in
class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during Fall or Spring semesters. Students
can register for only one course credit during Interim.
There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses
not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0
to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No Credit basis. A few Interim courses
are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in
the course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers
listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments
and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses,
especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although
intended to be accurate, may change and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final
costs.
To graduate, a student under the 34-course Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements is required to complete two
Interim courses, but three Interim courses may count
toward graduation.
INTRODUCTION
For any student entering after January 1993, a maximum of two Interim course credits may be counted
toward the 33 total course credits required for graduation. The number of required Interim courses is adjusted for transfer students. Transfer students should refer
to their transfer credit evaluation form, or consult the
Registrar. Additional Interim credits which can count
toward the 33 course credits required may be taken by
students who repeat a course for credit in which a
grade below 2.0 was earned, or who need to make up
for a regular term in which they failed or withdrew
from a course.
Additional Interim courses not counted toward the 33
course credits required may be used to fulfill other
degree requirements. That is, no more than two Interim
course credits may be taken for credit toward 33, but
additional Interim courses may be used to fulfill major,
minor or general education requirements.
Day School students (3.0 credits or more for Fall) can
take a total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two
half credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport
(zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional
charge if they are full-time (Fall term). If less than fulltime they will be charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim
as a cross registration, but will be charged Day School
tuition ($1,350.00) per course credit. If they do so they
may take only 1.0 additional course credits in Weekend
College for Winter Trimester.
It is the policy ofAugsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race,
creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as
required by Title IX ofthe 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.
International Interim - Students are invited to be part
of one of the 24 international Interim courses offered by
the Upper Midwest Association for International
Education (UMAIE). These course opportunities are
listed near the end of this catalog.
Internships deadline - Friday, December 8. January
Interim internships must be planned in advance.
Students electing an internship must meet departmental
requirements and present a signed internship learning
agreement plan to the Internship Office (Murphy Place,
Rm. 8) no later than the last day of Fall classes (Friday,
December 8). The Learning Agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim
must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning your
internship is available in the Internship and
Cooperative Education Office.
Independent or Directed Study - Students may elect a
program of independent study (upper division 499) or
directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty
members are strongly discouraged from accepting
responsibility for more than one independent study per
Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or
directed study must:
1.Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the Registrar a copy of the proposed
study plan approved by the supervising faculty
member and the directed/independent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by
December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
1 NTRODUCTION
Interims at Other Schools -Augsburg students may
enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim
programs can be consulted in the Interim Office. The
Interim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at
the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the
regular registration period. Most courses taught during
the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit
by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as
meeting Augsburg's general education requirements.
This qualification particularly affects religion courses .
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4
schools for the January Interim without tuition charges
provided the student's home institution agrees not to
charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January
term. The waiver of tuition does not include special
fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be
charged $1,350 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should
write to the Interim Director for application forms or
use the forms provided by the interim office at their
own school. There is an application processing fee of
$10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are
not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing
should be made to the Interim Office.
It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199,299, or
499 courses.

We will use a few historically, economically, and medically important plants to study some of the ways in
which humans and plants interact, biologically and otherwise. Plants are not only at the bottom of our food
chain but also play a part in non-food aspects of our
lives, either directly (e.g. medicines, fibers, dyes, etc.) or
indirectly (e.g. food crises have influenced human
migrations). We will study the uses, biology, natural
history, and classificationof several important plants.
Evaluation will be based on three or four 40-minute
exams, several quizzes, and an oral presentation.

CHEMISTRYFOR CHANGINGTIMES
CHM 100-A
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This course is developed in the perspective of a person
living in a modern, high technology society such as the
United States. It assumes that before one can evaluate a
moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at the
least must be able to understand the science involved.
Anything less is an impression rather than an informed
decision. As we develop scientific concepts we will at
the same time relate them to an abundance of current
issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage,
food additives and processing and synthesis, organically and non-organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and illicit drugs, the energy crisis and the
debates about sources of energy, the greenhouse effect
and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering, and much more. Many of these problems are
chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about chemistry,
via lecture and in-class discussion, we can be helped to
understand ourselves, our society, our world, and even
some of the universe. The grade for the course is based
on a percentage of the total score for total points on the
daily quizzes.

Why are some things easy for a person to learn while
others seem harder? Why does the same task seem easier at one moment and more difficult just a few hours
later? Why do some children struggle with seemingly
simple assignments but then suddenly master them?
Why do more people suffer with learning disabilities
and weak short term memory than ever before? Each of
us wants to be an efficient and happy learner, but most
often, no one has shown us how to be our own life-long
learning coaches. In the last decade, work in neurophysiology has given us a whole new set of insights
about how the various parts of the brain actually work
to produce learning and high level functioning.
Educational kinesiologists have taken these insights and
produced simple but effective ways to increase the
learning comfort of each individual.
This course will provide both the theory for each participant to understand her/his own unique learning needs
and the practice for becoming an efficient and joyful
learner. We will study learning development,
braidmind function, and the nature of learning blocks.
We will discuss the misuse of brain dominance theory
and learn routines for overcoming learning blocks and
integrating hemisphere functions. There will be two
tests and two demonstrations required of each student,
and upper division students will have to do two
reviews of relevant research. The course uses two
paperback texts. Very useful for prospective teachers
and parents.

The ACTC writing workshop is an advanced-level creative writing course, open to three students from each
of the five ACTC colleges and held this year at
Augsburg College. This year's course is designed to
encourage student writers to use memories of the past
as they create their own new work. Writers will dig for
details of the past in urban ruins of old neighborhoods,
sifting through social history found in button jars and
stacks of 78 RPM records in antique stores; they will
harvest myth from diverse cultures; collect stories from
elders living in Minneapolis today; and investigate
cemeteries, churches, and even an occasional museum.
Student writers must have successfully completed at
least one creative writing course and must have the recommendation of a creative writing instructor at their
home campus, but they may choose to work in poetry,
fiction, literary nonfiction or to cross over among the
three during this interim workshop. Meeting times will
include: (1)expeditions into the city in search of the
past; (2) group sessions to talk about the old stories
gathered; (3) group sessions to discuss new work created during the Interim and to sort through layers of past
deposited in the new work: (4) individual conferences
and/or small workshop sessions.

This interim experience is designed to look at the area
of South Asia (primarily India) that is home to one-fifth
of the people of our world. We'll use novels, films,
some standard historical writings and current South
Asia periodicals to consider the impacts that colonialism, nationalism and various phases of modernization
have had on this old, honored and traditional culture.
We'll read the marriage ads and talk about social structure, consider the spot at Ayodhya which has prompted
Hindus to massacre Muslims, think on the Christ-likeness of a Gandhi and perhaps have time to note one or
two of the contemporary religious phenomena.
Looking at South Asians helps us to see ourselves in a
fuller perspective.
The course will include the usual pedagogical devices
of lectures, discussions, some short reaction papers and
tests (including a final).

This course is a study of Book 1 of Euclid's Elements,
which is sometimes cited as the most-frequently published book ever other than the Bible. Book 1 of the
Elements ends with the Pythagorean Theorem,
Proposition 47. We'll first work backward from that
theorem, considering propositions Euclid cites in proving it (46,41, and 4), and then the propositions he cites
in proving those propositions, and so on, gaining familiarity with about 30 major propositions but especially
34,4, and 3, the ones most used. We'll consider other
logically-sound ways of arranging these propositions
and think about the aesthetic reasons Euclid made his
arrangement. After getting to Proposition 1, we'll consider the common notions, definitions, and postulates,
learn about how attempts to prove Euclid's fifth postulate led to non-Euclidean geometry in the nineteenth
century, and see more logically rigorous geometric
axiom systems of the twentieth century. Then we'll
read the book forward, seeing how the other propositions fit in and seeing how they lend insight into
Euclid's aesthetic choices.

"During World War 11, British military leaders asked
scientists and engineers to analyze several military
problems: the deployment of radar and the management of convoy, bombing, antisubmarine, and mining
operations. The application of mathematics and the scientific method to military operations was called operations research. Today, the term Operations Research (or
often, management science) means a scientific approach
to decision making, which seeks to determine how best
to design and operate system, usually under conditions
requiring the allocation of scarce resources." - Wayne

The main objectives of this course are the discussion of
several mathematical models used in operations
research (OR) and the use of mathematics and the existing computer packages (such as LINDO) in solving

the world. We will not only examine the Lutheran
Church as it is at the present time, but also study its origin in the 16th century, its development over 450 years,
and its cultural influence. Representative figures to be
studied include Luther, Bach, and Bonhoeffer. There
will be lectures, discussions and visiting resource persons. Requirements include class participation and
exams.

SCIENCE
AND
RELIGION
REL 374-A
Instructors: John Benson and Mark Engebretson
For some in our society science is the driving engine of
a better, more secure life and the basis for a philosophy
of life. For others, science and its associated technologies, along with its invitation to become a global world
view, constitute a grave threat. Some Christians particularly feel threatened by science. This course will
address these matters in two ways. First, it will begin
with a historical overview of the relations between sci-
ence and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods:
the origins of the Christian faith, the development of
"modern" science and mechanistic philosophy, and the
re-evaluation of science and nature in the 20th century.
Second, it will study systematically the world views of
science and religion to see how they compare.
Class time will be divided among a variety of activities
including lectures, whole class discussions, small group
tutorials, and an extended simulation exercise in developing a space colony, drawing from the ideas developed in the course. Course evaluation will be based on
two short exams, participation in small group tutorials
based on assigned readings, a group project presentation, and a major synthesis paper based on the group
project and course materials.

Special attention will be given to the writings of John B.
Cobb, Jr., as a representative of process theology.
Classes will include videos, small groups, and some
lecture to introduce topics. Ethical issues addressed in
the class include killing, abortion, human sexuality and
euthanasia. Grades will be based on the paper (10-15
pages), the presentation of the paper to the class and
class participation.

S WK 257-A
Instructor: Mary Lou Williams
Experiential learning occurs as students volunteer 80
hours in a service agency or institution which students
select. The placement must be approved by course faculty and supervised by agency staff. In the context of
this volunteer experience students have opportunity to
interact with human service professionals, clients, and
communities of diverse culture/ethnic heritage and
special concerns (age, socio-economic status, lifestyles,
developmental/physical abilities, gender, etc.). The
course is designed to help students learn about themselves in relation to a possible major or future career in
the human services.
The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions which assist students in integrating agency experiences and readings which explore the historical development of social welfare as an institution and the
nature and value system of social work as a profession.
Students will also examine and critique the manner in
which social, economic, and political structures impact
diverse groups in society. Students will focus on their
own responsibilities in society, as well as examine their
personal value system in relation to special concerns,
such as poverty and the "isms".

Catalog Supplement
1996
for MAL
Program
A Hon-thesis Option for Completion of the MAL Program (Plan B)
In March 1996 the MAL program approved a Plan B alternative
to provide a third choice for students completing their MAL
degree. Plan B involves both a different number and configuration
of course requirements than Plan A. (See below for details)
The Thesis and the Leadership Application Project are
described in the 1995-1997 catalog.
The thesis and leadership
application project are similar in approach and methodology. They
differ principally in the degree of application.
thesis, leadership application project, and g1an B are options
available to all HAL atudents.
~h•
The
PLAN B Option:
The Plan B option requires 11 courses.
Plan B students must
take:
ML 580 Contemporary Theories of Leadership
ML 510 Visions of Leadership
ML 514 Research Methods.
Plan B students will write two major papers:
l'irst Paper:
In ML 580 Contemporary Theories of
Leadership students write one major paper(approximately 30 pages).
This paper will fulfill one of required Plan B papers if a grade
of 3.5 or batter is achieved.
Students are required to give an
oral presentation based on their major paper at the end of the
semester. (If the grade achieved on this paper is less than 3.5 and
the student has elected the Plan B option, the student will re-
work the paper.*)
*A readers' panel, selected by the MAL Advisory committee, will
review the revised paper.
Second Paper:
one of two ways:
The second major paper may be handled in
1) An Independent study ML 59·9 (1. 0 credit) taken with an
Advisor. There will be a major paper(approximately 30-35
pages) required. The student must earn at least a grade of
3.5.
.
2) Thesis Seminar ML 593-594 sequence (.5 er each-1.0 er
total) and complete a major paper(approximately 30-35 pages).
The second Plan B Paper will be reviewed by the readers' panel.
The task of the readers' panel is to determine whether the paper
is at the 3.5 level or better and to maintain consistent quality
across differing project~ and subject areas.
The second Plan B paper will be presented at an annual
Colloquium held for students, faculty, alumni and invited guests.
Students will present an Abstract (approximately 15 minutes) of
their second plan B paper completed during a given academic year.
The presentation is part of the requirement to complete the Plan B
alternative.

Developing Leaders for
Organizations and the
Community
The Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) program
responds to the leadership
development needs of both
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 MAL program provides a
means by which individuals
may discover and refine these
and other abilities fundamental
to effective leadership.
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 wellmotivated individuals, seeking a
balance of classroom experience,
group interaction, and individual
study. Most courses are
organized as seminars with
opportunity for discussion and
dialogue, and 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. Students share meals
and coffee breaks; participate in
optional lunch time seminars;
and attend music and dramatic
presentations and athletic events.
Individual Professional
Development
A major component of the MAL
program is the professional.
assessment. Given in the first
year of study, the assessment
can help students to identify
leadership skills and preferred
work and learning styles.
Nationally recognized test
instruments are used and based
. ..
on the results, students are
encouraged to create
personalized goals and plans to
strengthen areas which may
require further development.
MAL students are encouraged to
enroll in ML 500, Leadership
Practicum. Students may enroll
in this professional development
series for six terms and upon
completion of six Practica,
receive a half-course credit to be
used as an elective. Scheduled
each term, Practica are designed
to meet student needs in areas
such as interpersonal
communication, approaches to
career change, coping with
workplace issues, and other
areas related to leadership and
professional development. In
consultation with the Director, the
student may also apply to receive
credit for attending seminars
related to his or her employment
as part of the Practicum course.

~ADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT MODEL
•
•
•
•
•
The MAL 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 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 is a
broad range of 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.

MAL students are required to
complete 10.5 course credits
(42 semester hours) and a
Thesis or Leadership
Application Project. 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,
which have had demonstrated
success in advanced courses,
develop targeted leadership
abilities and understanding.
Students are encouraged to
see abilities and
understandings as crossdisciplinary and to see
content areas as integrated.

The MAL program will allow
students to take up to two

(MEL) program. See the MEL
program bulletin for detailed
descriptions of these courses.
Thesis/Leadership
Application Project
At, or near, the completion of
the course work for the MAL
program, students are required
to develop and carry out a
study of some aspect of
leadership or of a
leadership-related topic. This
research-based study affords
students the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been
learned from the study of
leadership in the course work
and course-related activities.

Students have the option to do
either a Thesis or Leadership
Application Project for
completion of the degree. The
Thesis or Application Project
should be seen as the
culmination of the MAL
program, offering participants
the opportunity to investigate
either some aspect of leadership
in depth or explore the
application of what has been
studied. The distinction between
these two options lies in their
orientation. The Thesis will
have a more theoretical
orientation, while the
Leadership Application Project
will be based on a more
practical application orientation.
Students who do not complete
their Thesis or Leadership
Application Project while
enrolled in ML 594 are
required to pay a continuation
fee during each subsequent
term until the Thesis/Project
is completed.

·)
Family, in its diverse forms, is
central to society. "Family,"
in this context, is interpreted
broadly as the nurturing system
surrounding people. It is inclusive of many areas of need.
As a growing number of familyrelated challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need
for professionals who base
their professional practice on indepth study of the broad
spectrum of issues that confront
the family . In the Family
Practice concentration, students
will concentrate on promoting
empowerment of the family
nurturing systems from a developmental and holistic
perspective.
Program Develop111e11t, Policy
and ,\d111i11istratio11
Social change is necessary to
foster policies and services that
respond to human need. The
Program Development, Policy
and Administration concentration has been developed in
response to the growing demand
for creative leadership and
administration. Effective
services require participatory
development, competent practitioners, strong leadership and
effective administration.
Students in this concentration
will develop the abilities and
skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and
to develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will
serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.
Eied.ivts
Students must select one elective in their course of study
toward the MSW degree.
Master's Thesis and
Seminar
All students will complete a
Master's thesis. The thesis is

and practice.

History
Campus Location
Augsburg College 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, Wisc., and moved to
Minneapolis in 1872. The name
Augsburg College and Seminary
changed to Augsburg College
in 1963 when the Lutheran Free
Church merged with The
American Lutheran Church.
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
located in the heart of the Twin
Cities surrounding Murphy
Square. Adjacent to the campus
are the Fairview Riverside
Medical Center complex, the
West Bank campus of the
University of Minnesota and
Mississippi River parkways .
Accessibility
Augsburg College has made a
major effort to become one of
the most accessible campuses in
the region. Without going
Augsburg is a college of The
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. The College is a
diverse community with many
strong religious traditions represented among the students,
faculty and staff, including but
not limited to Lutheran, Roman
Catholic, American Indian
Spirituality and Thought,
Buddhist and Islamic faiths.
Non-Discrimination
Policy
Augsburg College does not
discriminate on the basis of
race, creed, national or ethnic
origin, age, marital status,
gender, sexual orientation or

scheduled. This deposit will be applied
to your Summer School tuition and is
not refundable unless the course is
cancelled. If a course that you have
scheduled is cancelled, you may elect to
receive a refund or apply the deposit to
the tuition for another course. To insure
that you reserve a place in the courses
that you desire, we recommend that you
schedule your courses as early as
possible. Many courses fill early, and
courses with low enrollments may be
cancelled before the first day of the term.

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Business
Office will be open until 6 p.m. on May
28 and 29, and on June 24 and 25. The
Business Office is also open on
Saturdays when Weekend College is in
session; contact the Weekend College
Office at 330-1782 for more information.
Tuition must be paid in full in order for
your registration to be confirmed.
(Augsburg students who have unpaid
balances from previous terms must pay
these balances before they may confirm
their Summer School registrations.)
A late fee of $50.00 will be assessed for
students who do not confirm on time.
No Term I registrations will be accepted
after May 31, and Term I1 registrations
will not be accepted after June 28.
To change your registration you will
need to fill out an Add/Drop form at
the Registrar's Office. There is a charge
of $50.00 for changing a course after 3:30
p.m. on the second scheduled day of
each term. This procedure applies to
internships and independent studies as
well as scheduled courses. Refunds and
adjustments to fees are outlined in the

Topics in Literature: The Heroic Journey Griffin
This course will study archetypal patterns of the
heroic journey, as well as specific examples of such
journeys. It will emphasize the ideas of Joseph
Campbell, but will also consider other
interpretations of heroic journeys. Since western
civilization usually assumes that the hero is a man,
usually a white man belonging to a warrior class,
we will analyze the heroic warrior myth both as it
is depicted in ancient and medieval epics and
myths, but also as it appears in contemporary
American popular narratives. But the heroic
journey is a human journey, and thus the course
will also emphasize the heroic journeys of women
and men who may be neither white nor warriors
as they are depicted in folktales and novels.

A Greeting
from the
President
Welcome to Augsburg College
from all of us who teach, study
and work here. It is always a
pleasure to introduce the
Augsburg experience to prospective students and to welcome
new and returning students.
Some people refer to us as "the
small town campus in the heart of
the city." That phrase does indeed
capture our character and our
strength as a college. Augsburg is
an affordable, quality liberal arts
college of the church, a place
where people know and care
about you. Here you can also gain
"real world" experience to complement your education - before
you enter the workplace for the
first time.
The College continues to grow
and build on its long tradition of
academic excellence. I invite you
to become a part of the Augsburg
experience by joining this caring
and diverse community of learners and teachers.
I look forward to meeting you
on campus.
Sincerely,
Charles S. Anderson, Ph.D.
President

A
\ t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation,
you will be able to demonstrate not only
the mastery of a major field of study, but
also the ability to think critically, solve
problems and communicate effectively.
Select from 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors or you can create your own major either on
campus or through the Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 49 for
a complete list of majors and minors.) This
five-college consortium allows students to
take courses on other campuses without
charge. The ACTC includes Augsburg
College, Harnline University, Macalester
College, the University of St. Thomas, and
the College of St. Catherine.
We emphasize values, perspectives,
experience and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Curriculum - the College's
general education program that structures
your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses that
require students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
liberal arts perspectives include western
heritage, intercultural awareness, human
identity, the social world, Christian faith,
the city, aesthetics and the natural world.
At the same time, courses across all
disciplines stress the skills that will serve
you for a lifetime - writing, speaking,
critical t h d u n g and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and
varied learning opportunities in real-life
situations through academic internships,
experiential education, volunteer community service and cultural enrichment. In a
sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are
an extended campus for Augsburg
students.
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the Mission of the College:
To nurture 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.
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.
l o About Augsburg
-
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, Georg 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 52 years at the
College as a teacher and administrator.
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.
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 one hundred years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
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. But the college division was still
important primarily as an attachment to
the s ~ m i n a ~ .
The College's mission assumed a
double character - ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962).His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, 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.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
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
Serninarv) in St. Paul in 1963.
About Auasbura l1
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student
populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of
leadership the College became a vital and
integral part of the city. Also in these years,
Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen
Tower, Umess Tower, the Christensen
Center, Ice Arena and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the
College since 1980. He guides Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education,
spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs and a curriculum
that draws on the resources of the city as
extensions of campus and classroom.
Augsburg continues to grow under his
leadership. Some of the accomplishments
during his tenure include instituting three
graduate degree programs, hosting
national and international figures at
College-sponsored forums and events,
increased accessibility, and the addition of
the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and
Communication and the Oscar Anderson
Residence Hall.
Augsburg continues to reflect the
commitment and dedication of the
founders who believed:
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative and
successful citizens;
The city -with all its excitement,
challenges and diversity - is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts
institution set in the heart of a great
metropolitan center. There are now more
than 13,000 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 a traditional undergraduate liberal arts and sciences "day" program,
Augsburg offers a Weekend College
program for nontraditional students and
master's degree programs in social work,
leadership and education-leadership.
CAMPUS LOCATION
Augsburg's campus is located in the
heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding
Murphy Square, the first of 155 parks in
Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes." The
University of Minnesota West Bank
campus and one of the city's largest
medical centers -Riverside Medical
Center - is adjacent to the campus, with
the Mississippi River and the Seven
Comers theater district just a few blocks
away. Downtown Minneapolis and St.
Paul, home to a myriad of arts, sports,
entertainment and recreation opportunities, are just minutes west and east via
Interstate 94, whch forms the southern
border of the campus. (See map in back.)
Convenient bus routes run throughout
the city and connect with the suburbs.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Most
airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and bus
or train connections can be made from all
areas of the United States.

xperiences in the classroom are an
impo&t part of college life, but learning
and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as
academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where
students, faculty and staff gather each day
to give thanks and hear the Gospel
proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gfts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The College Pastor and Campus
Ministry staff have offices in the Foss,
Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama
and Communication and are available for
spiritual guidance, counseling, support or
information.
Through student government students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty, and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
government also sponsors and directs
student activities, protects student rights
and provides the means for discussions
and action on all issues pertaining to
student life at Augsburg.
Student government is organized into
the executive branch, the legislative branch
and the judicial branch. Elections are held
in the spring for the next year. Freshmen
elect their representatives in the fall of their
first year. Many kinds of involvement are
possible -program planning, writing,
editing or service opportunities. If you
want to get involved, contact the president
or vice president of the Student Body in
their offices in the lower level of the
Christensen Center.
The Student Activities program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities and
organizations which serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming
Student Life
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic
and enjoyable interactive environment.
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities take place on campus
as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (the gameroom and student lounge) is
a popular hangout located in the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests
meet here. Student offices in this area
include the College newspaper, the
Augsburg Echo; the yearbook, The
Augsburgian; Student Government and the
Augsburg Student Activities Council.
KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio
station serving the needs of Augsburg and
the surrounding Cedar-Riverside community, is located in Umess Tower.
FINE ARTS
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition
to appearing on campus and in the city, the
Augsburg Choir, Concert Band and
Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical
experience. Students stage several plays on
campus each year under the direction of
the Theatre Arts Deparbnent and have the
opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

(MIAC) and is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
Division IU.Men annually compete in
football, soccer, cross country, basketball,
ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, tennis, track
and field and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer,
basketball, ice hockey, softball, tennis, track

When Augsburg announced on Feb. 17,
1995 that it was adding women's ice hockey
as a varsity sport, it became the first college
or university in Minnesota to do so. The
women's ice hockey program at Augsburg
offers participants the same opportunities
that the men's program receives.
INTRAMURALS
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed
sport. Check schedules for times when there
is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for the average
student as well as the intercollegiate
athlete. The campus offers on a space
available basis a double-rink ice arena,
gymnasium, six tennis courts, a fitness
center with workout machines and weight
room, and an air supported dome over the
athletic field for winter fitness use by
walkers and runners. (See Fitness Center

A
ugsburg College constructs its
curriculum upon the premise that students
must be educated as fully human persons intellectually, spiritually and physically. To
act effectively, human beings must have a
broad grasp of the world from which they
have come as
as the
in which
they live. By providing courses in the
humanities, natural sciences and social
sciences, the genera' education
introduces students to the breadth and
complexity of knowledge and culture.
Required courses in religion are designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition and encourage them to
reflect upon the importance and meaning of
spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses
offer opportunities to develop skills in
exercise and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 50 major
areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge
in a discipline and to prepare for a career or
further study. Thus, through a balance of
curricular activities supported by full
programs in student life and religious life,
an Augsburg education strives to educate
students in a real world for the real world.
W DECREES OFFERED
Augsburg offers the Bachelor of Arts,
the Bachelor of Music and the Bachelor of

employ different styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and
topics in places and ways not possible
during the regular term.
The Interim catalog, published in the fall
of each year, is distributed to all students
and is available by contacting the Interim
Office. In addition to classes offered on
campus, Augsburg offers a variety of travel

FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE PROGRAM
WE)
The FYE program assists students in
their first Augsburg registration, provides
orientation events before classes begin, and
also includes a seminar series.
A campus-wide computer network
offers a full range of network services.
Augsburg College, a member of the
National Science Foundation's Internet
since 1990, is connected to hundreds of
universities in the U.S. and around the
world. Internet access and a renewed focus
on educational technology allows
Augsburg to integrate these electronic
resources into many different areas of the
learning process.
FYE reflects the College's commitment
to a meaningful introduction to college for
our students - an enriching beginning for
a college career. To provide focus for this
introduction, the FYE seminar is centered
on a series of themes. These themes are
reflected in and expanded upon in readings, discussions and other activities.
Diversity, tradition, change, ways of
knowing and what it means to be an
educated person are all themes associated
with the program. (Also see page 136.)
The construction of the new Library/
Information Technology Center will
enhance further the College's computer
resources for students.
Augsburg maintains its own Gopher
and World Wide Web site. The Web
address is: http: / /www.augsburg.edu

HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program is designed to
challenge and encourage the most academically distinguished students at Augsburg.
The program combines academic and
cultural components with social activities.
Members of the program normally enter as
freshmen, but students may enter the
program as late as the beginning of the
junior year. Students graduate from the
Honors Program upon successful completion of the program, which is noted on
the transcript and which provides an
advantage for both employment and
graduate school application.
The Honors Program at Augsburg was
awarded a National Science Foundation
Grant, for the years 1995-1997, to establish
two Honors Computing and Communications Labs, one in Foss 20 and the other in
Library 20, and to put the program on a
computational footing. Students entering
the program as freshmen are required to
take an Honors version of CSC 160,
Introduction to Computer Science and
Communications, which establishes crisp
computing and communications skills at
the outset of their collegiate careers. Other
courses in the program make use of these
computing skills in lab-oriented sequence
exploring literature, writing, history,
religion, philosophy and social and natural
science.
During the junior and senior years,
students take four mini-seminars (one full
course credit upon completion), one each
semester and participate in a six-week
Monday Forum program each term.
Seniors take a Senior Seminar during
Interim, which satisfies a Perspective
requirement, and are obliged to complete
an approved Honors project. Some seniors
satisfy this requirement by serving on the
Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal
which publishes outstanding student
papers.
Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance of
at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a 3.4
the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last two
years. Please direct enquiries to Dr. Joan
Griffin, Associate Director of the Honors
Program, 330-1045, or Dr. Lany Crockett,
Director of the Honors Program, 330-1060.
INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges
and institutions in the Twin Cities area on
several programs.
Library and Media Center -Through
CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges
library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to over 1,300,000
volumes.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC) -Full-time weekday students at
Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and
universities of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine and St. Thomas may elect a
course each semester at one of the other
campuses. No additional fee is required for
such an exchange, except for private
instruction in music or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new
perspectives, to get better acquainted with
the other schools or to undertake a specific
course or major not offered on the home
campus. The colleges have coordinated

Higher Education Consortium for
Urban Affairs (HECUA) -Augsburg, in
cooperation with 17 other colleges and
universities, offers off-campus study
semesters in Scandinavia, South and Central
America and the Twin Cities.
(See HECUA programs on page 55.)
Air Force ROTC -Augsburg students
may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under
the ACTC consortium agreement. Students
are eligible to compete for two and three
year AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar.
Army ROTC -Augsburg students
may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under
an agreement between Augsburg, the
University of Minnesota, and the program.

an agreement between Augsburg, the
University of Minnesota, and the program.
For more information, contact the Office of
the Registrar.
Note: A maximum of one full Augsburg
course credit of military science studies may
apply toward the total credits required for
graduation. Additional military science
credits beyond the one credit allowed will
be classified as nondegree credits.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDY ABROAD
An increasing number of Augsburg
students are taking advantage of the
opportunity to gain academic credit for an
overseas experience. Through study abroad
students may meet with grassroots women's
organizations in Mexico, work in a small
business or artisan program in Kenya,
examine Scandinavian perspectives on
world peace in Norway, or thrill to the
sounds of The Magic Flute at the Viennese
state opera house. Study abroad provides
opportunities to develop critical thinking
skills, strengthen language competencies,
further career paths, experience different
cultures, and gain knowledge about the
increasingly interdependent world.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Study abroad is an integral part of
several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as if
studying on-campus. Courses abroad can
fulfill major, general education, and
graduation requirements when approved by
academic advisers and department chairs
before departure.
Students receive advice on selecting
programs which best fit their academic,
career and personal objectives. Assistance is
provided with application, course registration, financing, and travel arrangements.
Orientation and reentry programs assist
students in integrating the experience abroad
into their course work and personal lives.
Eligibility and Application
All students in good academic standing
(a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may
apply for permission to study off-campus.

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
PROGRAMS
One advantage of Augsburg's metro
location is its highly successful Experiential
Education programs which link the
College's academic program to Twin Cities
employers and organizations. The result is
a resume that is more attractive to potential
employers after graduation.
Through Internships, Cooperative
Education and Community ServiceLearning, Augsburg students integrate and
expand their liberal arts education by
embracing the worlds of work and service.
Each work or community service placement is closely related t i a student's major,
course work or career interest. Augsburg's
Internship, Cooperative Education and
Community Service programs link employers, community organizations and the
academic program in ways that enrich and
expand a student's educational experience
and personal development. An underlying
assumption is that a liberal arts education
is an effective preparation for careers and
citizenship. The integration of "knowing
and doing" adds breadth and depth to the
liberal arts curridum and assists students
in making more informed academic, career
and personal decisions.
The College's metropolitan location
makes possible a wide range of opportunities. Students have gained valuable
learning experiences in small and mid-size
companies, large corporations, nonprofit
organizations, schools, government agencies and community-based organizations.
Academic Internships

planned work-based learning experience
where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A

A maximum of four courses of Internhip may count toward the total courses
equired for the degree.
Iooperative Education
Cooperative Education is a college
,upported and monitored, paid, workearning experience that is closely related to
I student's major or career objective. The
;oal is to combine theory with practice in
vork or service-based settings.
Students also earn money to help defray
rducational costs while gaining important
)n-the-jobexperience. Job placements
ypically are part-time during the academic
rear and/or full-time summer. Co-op jobs

Yugsburg students who have completed
their freshman year and are in good
academic standing.
Service-Learning
Augsburg's Service-Learningprogram
combines response to human needs in the
community with a conscious awareness and
understanding of issues, reflection and
educational growth. Augsburg students
learn from and about the community and
society in whch they live by participating in
orientation sessions, direct service-learning
activities and seminars or class discussions.
Through direct service, such as volunteering
at a homeless shelter, tutoring, building
housing for low-income people or working
with environmental groups, students
engage in a dynamic and interactive educational approach which employs reciprocal
learning between the student@)and the
community. Service-Leaming includes
course-embedded community service,
tutoring, internships, cooperative education
and a wide range of volunteer options.
The Service-LearningProgram works
with community organizations and
organizes specific projects to enhance
student involvement and also assists with
and supports the integration of servicelearning into departmental courses. The
program works closely with the student
directed Augsburg LINK program and
Campus Ministry.

ter and Mission of Augsburg College: The
Christian Faith."
Up to two courses in a year-long
sequence of approved natural science
courses may be used to meet the perspective, "The Natural World."
Up to two courses of the same modem
language may be used to meet part of the
perspective, "Intercultural Awareness."
RATIONALE FOR PERSPECTIVES
Augsburg, in its Mission Statement,
declares the College exists "To nurture
future leaders of service in the world by
providing high quality educational
opportunities which are based in the liberal
arts and shaped by the faith and values of
the Christian church, by the context of a
vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus community."
One way which the College seeks consciously to realize this Mission is through
its General Education curriculum.
The Augsburg faculty has designed a
cohesive academic program incorporating
general education, major courses, supporting courses and elective courses leading to
the bachelor's degree. The core of the
Augsburg curriculum is found in the
liberal arts as expressed in the General
Education component of the college curriculum which is divided under two headings: liberal arts perspectives and skills.
The term "perspective" assumes that
not only are we engaged in the search for
truth, but that this requires the searcher to
consider questions from a variety of
viewpoints, each of which has something
valuable to contribute to the whole. These
perspectives are not strictly identified with
traditional disciplines, but are understood
in ways which encourage multi-disciplin-
ary reflections on the questions at issue.
They combine concerns about content with
those of process and approach, directed
ultimately to making the student a more
effective learner and participant in society.
The following requirements reflect the
way in which Augsburg has chosen to view
the liberal arts. Two of the four features of
the Mission Statement are embodied in the
General Education Perspectives: "The
Character and Mission of Augsburg
College: The Christian Faith and the City."
These Perspectives emphasize that the
College's affiliation with the Lutheran
Church, its insistence on the value of
knowing the approach which derives from
the Christian roots of the College and its
location in the city, deserve special
consideration in Augsburg's educational
program.
The third feature - that Augsburg is a
liberal arts institution - is also emphasized in the other General Education
Perspectives. Certain dimensions of human
life - of what it is to be human -form thc
core of the required liberal arts experience.
These overall perspectives on what it is to
be human can themselves be studied from
the vantage points of the various academic
disciplines.
Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person.
Hence, the Perspective on Human Identity.
But the person exists in both a social
community and a natural world. Hence,
the importance of the Perspectives on the
Social World and the Natural World.
Because the way in which we understand
ourselves derives largely from our Western
heritage, students need to learn about and
reflect on sipficant aspects of this
heritage. Thus, the Perspective on the
Western Heritage. At the same time, to
Academic Information
focus on the West alone would be ethnocentric. We live in a global society. Hence
the Perspective on Inter-Cultural Awareness. Attention to moral values is found not
only in the Perspective on the Character
and Mission of the College: the Christian
Faith, but throughout the other perspectives as well. The Perspective on Aesthetic
Values enables students to focus on
aesthetic works created by themselves or
others, which convey fundamental insights,
express beauty and enhance life.
Finally, the Mission Statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic
excellence. Tlus has a number of features,
including the way we teach all the courses
in General Education. Beyond this,
academic excellence presupposes that
students have the requisite skills to do
college-level work. The General Education
Requirements are couched in a context
which pays attention to the skills of both
incoming and graduating students. Entrylevel skill requirements in a number of
critical areas, including reading, writing,
mathematics and critical thinking, will be
assessed and help given to students who
need it. Graduation-level skills are also
emphasized, so that students not only
maintain but develop their skills during
their Augsburg experience.
The General Education Requirements
provide a coherent way to address the
Mission of Augsburg College. They are not
the only way, neither do they guarantee
that students who graduate from Augsburg
possess the desired knowledge and
character traits. What they do is provide a
coherent description of the context in
which we liberally educate students, a
clear statement of expected outcomes and
an opportunity for students to see and
understand the complexity of what it is to
be human and Christian in an urban set tin^.
THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE
REQUIREMENTS
Perspective: The Character and Mission of
Augsburg College: The Christian Faith
This Perspective focuses on Augsburg
as a College of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. As a college of the
Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its
educational program the doctrines of the
Christian faith as revealed in Scripture and
the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran
Church. It consciously affirms that all
students should reflect upon the Christian
Scriptures, theologcal concepts, ethical
values, their own faith and values, and
religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated.
Christian Faith (CF 1, 2 and 3)
Area 1 is biblical studies, Area 2 covers
Christian theology and area 3 includes the
study of values or religions outside the
Christian faith. Three course credits are
required to meet this Perspective except for
the following:
Transfer students entering with 14-23
course credits will be required to take two
courses in the Christian Faith Perspective
while registered at Augsburg.
Transfer students entering with 24 or
more course credits will be required to take
one course in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg.
Perspective: The Character and Mission of
Augsburg College: The City
This Perspective focuses on the
College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this Perspective,
students should gain an understanding of
and critically reflect upon the city with its
diverse populations, cultural, govemmen-
67
-
Academic Information
tal and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students
should experience the community and
should explore opportunities for service in
the community.
This requirement must be covered
either by specific courses, by internship
and education experiences or by designated or college approved non-credit
experiences (such as volunteer service or
college programs). Experiences that satisfy
the requirement must be accompanied by
GST 209 seminar related to the perspective.
The City (C)
One course credit or experience is
required to meet h s Perspective.
Perspective: Western Heritage
This Perspective is intended to help
students critically examine themes (found,
for example, in literature, philosophy and
the arts) and events that have historically
shaped Western civilization. Attention
should be paid to the contributions of and
to critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.
Western Heritage (WH 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this
Perspective. One course is required to meet
this Perspective for transfer students
entering with 14 or more course credits.
Perspective: Human Identity
This Perspective is intended to help
students view themselves as persons, men
and women with unique abilities, values,
beliefs, experiences and behaviors.
Human ldentity (HI)
One course credit is required to meet
Perspective: Aesthetics
Aesthetic creations convey fundaments
insights and values, express beauty and
enhance life. This Perspective focuses on
aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by
oneself and others.
Aesthetics (A)
One course credit is required to meet
this Perspective.
Perspective: The Social World
This Perspective is intended to help
students learn to identify, examine and
critique social, economic or political
systems: to understand how and why such
systems develop, to see the connections
among these systems and to use this
knowledge as a participant in society.
Social World (SW 1 and 2)
One course must focus on current
theories and methods of a social science.
Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this Perspective. One course is required to meet this
Perspective for transfer students entering
with 14 or more course credits.
Perspective: intercultural Awareness
This Perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by
expanding students' awareness of other
cultures. One course is required in which
students critically reflect upon ways their
own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become
better able to communicate with persons of
other cultural backgrounds partially by
being introduced to a specific culture other
than European or mainstream North
American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry
Academic Information 69
md read a language other than their
native language. For this part of the
Perspective, students are required to have
jemonstrated proficiency in a modem
ianguage or American Sign Language for
nearing students.
The modem language requirement will
3e determined by assessing previous
2xperience and subsequent placement.
Intercultural Awareness (IA 1)
The study of a specific, non-Westem
:ulture and how that culture has shaped
the world. One course credit is required to
meet this part of the Intercultural Awareness Perspective.
(IA 2 and 3)
Study of a modem language other than
khe native tongue. Up to two course credits
~f a beginning language or one at your
placement level is required. Students with
previous language study should contact an
ldrnissions counselor or the Registrar's
3ffice for placement information. Students
whose native language is not Enghh should

two semesters of modem language must
complete the requirement with sequential
courses in the same language. Hearing
students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by
passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled IA-2 and IA-3 Perspectives.
Perspective: The Natural World
This Perspective is intended to help
students understand themselves in relation
to the physical world. Their active role as
observers, explorers and moral agents will
be emphasized. Sufficient technical training
in scientific knowledge, concepts and
methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues.
Natural World (NW 1 and 2)
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this
Perspective unless an approved one-year
sequence is taken. One course is required to
meet h s Perspective for transfer students
entering with 14 or more course credits.
EXPLANATION OF GRADES
Student achievement in courses is
measured primarily by final examinations.
Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports
and other types of evaluation also are used.
Most courses are offered with grading
options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to
0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system,
in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better
and N means no credit and a grade of less
than 2.0.
PassINo Credit
Students who choose the P/N option
are cautioned:
2
Academic Information
In order to receive a grade of P, a
student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
1.0
Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank
each as a "C".
0.5
0.0
P-graded courses do not count
toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for
graduation with distinction. Transfer
students should be especially aware of
this requirement.
See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 63.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(i.e., Lifetime Sports are graded only P/N).
In courses where there is a choice,
students will be graded on the traditional
system unless they indicate on their
registration that they wish to use the
P/N grading option. Any changes in choice
of grading system must be made according
to dates published each term. A fee is
charged for any changes after the first five
days of classes. All changes in grading
option that are made after initial registration require the signature of an adviser or
the instructor.
Numeric Grades
Numeric grades are used with these
definitions:
4.0
3.5
3.0
2.5
2.0
Achieves highest standards of
excellence
Achieves above basic course
standards
Meets basic standards for the
course
Performance below basic course
standards
Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a student
must receive permission of the instructor oj
the course; must file a form stating the
reasons for the request, the work required
to complete the course, the plan and date
for completing the work with comments
from the instructor; and must file the form
with the Office of the Registrar. If permission is granted, the necessary work must be
completed in enough time to allow
evaluation of the work by the instructor
and filing of a grade before the final day of
the following semester. If the work is not
completed by that date, the grade for the
course becomes a 0.0.
Internships, Independent Studies and
Directed Studies may sometimes last
longer than one term. When this is the case,
they must be completed by the grading
deadlines within one year from the
beginning of the first term of registration.
A grade of X is given by the instructor to
indicate that the study is extended. It is
expected that students given X extensions
will continue to communicate with their
instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final
grade will be issued at the end of the term
in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year).
An instructor reserves the discretion of not
giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated. If the course is not
complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Academic Information
A course in which a grade of 0,0.5,1.0,
1.5, or N has been received may be re2eated for credit. Courses in which higher
yades have been earned may not be
aepeated for credit and a grade, but may be
iudited. All courses taken and grades
2arned each term remain on the academic
.ecord. O n y the credits and grades earned

Seniors - 24 courses completed.
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
Courses earned from the International
Baccalaureate Program will be considered
by the College for advanced placement and
appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines are available at the Registrar's Office.
ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS
LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM
Augsburg College recognizes that
learning can and does take place in many
life situations. Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within
the disciplines that compose the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The APL
program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by
which a student's previous learning, other
than that which is transferred from another
accredited institution, may be presented for
examination for possible credit toward the
completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience,
however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning
must meet two essential criteria: 1)it is
relevant to course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and 2) it can be objectively demon-
71
72 Academic Information
-
strated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students
may have their previous learning assessed
for credit recogrution. The following is a
brief description of each of these means of
assessment:
Advanced Placement Program
Test (AP) - Advanced placement in
courses beyond the beginning level is
granted to students with scores of 3,4
and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department.
Inquiries should be addressed to the Office
of the Registrar.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) - This is a series of
standardized tests which have been
developed by the College Board and are
offered to students for a small fee at
regional testing centers. (The regional
testing center for this area is the University
of Minnesota.) Students who score at or
above the 65th percentile on a subject
examination may receive academic credit
for that subject at Augsburg College.
Additional information about CLEP tests is
available from the Office of the Registrar
and the Academic Advising Center.
Departmental Comprehensive Exams
- These are available for students to use in
obtaining credit for previous learning if the
following conditions are met:
There is a departmental instrument
available for the subject area in question.
There is a faculty member designated
by the department to administer the exam.
The Registrar approves the student's
request to take the exam. Credit for
departmental exams is available on a pass/
no credit basis only, and there is a charge
per exam of one-half of tuition for a full
course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in
which a faculty team completes a credit
evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is
composed of two faculty members from
fields of study directly related to the
student's previous learning. Students who
wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment should
consult the Office of the Registrar. In
completing the evaluation of a student's
previous learning, the faculty team applies
the following criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed
and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work.
The learning has been objectively
verified by individuals in addition to the
presenting student.
The learning lends itself to both
qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to the
student's educational goals.
The learning and skills involved
are current and could be used at the
present time.
Students may apply for the credit
assessment process after completing at
least four courses/credits of academic
work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is
strongly recommended that the process no
be used when four or fewer courses remair
for graduation. There is an application
deposit to initiate the credit assessment
process, and a charge for each semester
Academic Information
credit applied to the student's transcript if
credit is approved. Credit is available on a
pass/no credit basis only.
Transcript credit will be granted on the
basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided
by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation. These credits
will be recorded with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward
the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements,
Upper Division requirements and academic
majors and minors may be subsequently
addressed by the departments involved in
response to a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for
Previous Learning -While Augsburg
College recogruzes the validity of
learning that takes place outside the
traditional classroom, this learning must be
placed in the context of formal study in
campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is
obtained through previous experiential
learning. In compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential learning,
the student may use any combination of
the four assessment processes available
in the APL program: AP exams, CLEP
exams, departmental comprehensive
exams and credit granted through portfolio
assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Program
Students who declare a language other
than English to be their primary language
or who are citizens of another c o w must
take the ESL placement test in conjunction
with the English writing placement test at
orientation. Students' placement in ESL,
ENG 101 Develoumental writ in^. or ENG
111 Effective Writing will be determined by
their scores on the Michigan test (80-100
range for exemption from ESL) and by a
writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the English
as a Second Language course, an objective
test will be administered to all students in
the class. The score on this test and the
grade eamed in the class will determine
whether additional ESL course work is
required. Usually a score of 80 to 100 and a
course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the
student's ESL requirement.
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENG
217/218 until such time that they pass ESL
placement test at 80 percent or higher. The
ESL course can only be counted twice in
the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language
requirement for graduation.
1 ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION
AND DISMISSAL
The College requires that students
maintain the following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman -A student who has taken
fewer than seven courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore -A student who has
taken fewer than 16 courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher
Junior- A student who has taken
fewer than 24 courses with a cumulative

decision within 10 days to the Committee
on Student Standing.
Students whose academic achievement
falls below these guidelines will either be
placed on scholastic probation at the end of
the term or will be continued on probation
or will be dismissed from the College. In
addition, a freshman who receives two zero
grades or a sophomore who receives three
zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from
the College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the student's
commitment to academic progress is the
major consideration in deciding whether or
not to dismiss a student. Students who
have a poor academic record may be
strongly advised to withdraw before the
end of a term. Those on probation who
voluntarily withdraw from the College, as
well as those who are dismissed, must have
special permission to re-enroll.
The Dean's List, compiled after
each semester, lists students whose grade
point average for a semester is 3.5 or
better. Students must be full-time students
(a minimum equivalent of three full
course credits for a weekday schedule
student or two equivalent full course
credits for a Weekend College student),
graded on the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses offered for
credit. Courses taken outside of a program's calendar (i.e., crossover courses
taken in a Weekend College trimester term
by a day program student or in a semester
term by a Weekend program student) are
not calculated when determining the
Dean's List. If permission is given by the
student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each student on
the Dean's List.
Students may be removed from
probation when the cumulative GPA
reaches the minimum levels stated above.
Students placed on probation as freshmen
for having earned two zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not
earned additional zero grades, and if their
cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for
having earned three zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.9.
The College reserves the right to
dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the

A
\ s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge and truth
are interrelated and are integrated into a
whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth
into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses
which make it more accessible to students.
These courses can be arranged in various
ways to construct majors, to create the
substance of a broad general education and
to give students the opportunity to study
areas of particular individual interest.
Descriptions of courses are arranged by
departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter to aid students in planning a
program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach
and requirements for a particular course can
be obtained from the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals
and its place in the College's program. A
listing of requirements for individual majors
and minors follows the narrative.
Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In
general, classes are offered Fall and/or
Spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The Schedule of Classes published by the
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC) each spring lists offerings and
locations for Fall and Spring terms.
Since some courses are offered alternate
years, it is important that the student review
with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for courses
offered in January Interim, Summer School,
Augsburg Weekend College and the Master
of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership and the Master of
Social Work programs are published in
separate catalogs.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half
or one-quarter course credit, are offered in
the Division of Professional Studies. Unless
noted, all courses are one course credit. A
full course has the approximate value of
four semester credits or six quarter hours.
Most courses meet for three 60-minute
periods or two 90-minute periods a week, in
addition to laboratories.
Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are Lower
Division courses. Courses numbered 300
and above are classified as Upper Division.
In general, courses in the 100s are primarily
for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for
juniors, and 400s for seniors.
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before
enrolling in a higher level course are listed
in the course description. A student may
enroll in a course when a prerequisite has
not been fulfilled if there is prior approval
by the professor teaching the course.

suitable internship must be found by the
end of the registration or drop/add period.)
3. A learning agreement (forms are
available from the Internship and Cooperative Education Office) must be negotiated
with the faculty member responsible for
grading the experience and the work
supervisor. The completed original is
turned in to the Internshp and Cooperative
Education Office, with copies made for the
faculty, supervisor and student.
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the sophomore level in whch a student,
faculty member and site supervisor design a learning agreement which links the ideas
and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/
registration, interested students must consult with the departmental Internship Coordinator and the Internship Office regarding requirements and permission to register.
lnternship
A work or service-based learning experience at the junior-senior level in which a student,
faculty member and site supervisor design a learning agreement which links the ideas

t is important as a field of study for
our time. Our survival as a culture may
very well depend on whether we are able
to create order and beauty in the design
and function of communities. Realizing
this, we have made design and sensitivity
to all aspects of visual experience central to
the art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is
so much a part of everyday life that it is
often taken for granted. At the same time,
however, the interchange of visual ideas is
frequently misunderstood. The task of the
artist, art teacher and art historian is to
celebrate visual experience through a
variety of media and art examples. In short,
the visual arts teach us how to see.
Because of the College's commitment to
the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity does
involve manual skill, although to become
broadly significant it should interact with
the content available in other fields, such as
language, history, drama, music, literature,
philosophy, theology, business, physical
education and science.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines and
attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a sipficant
number of art galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.

B
iolow is the study of life and it is
natural that we, as contemplative living
zreatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
tarth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
3f the biological world, an understanding
~f the basic biologcal processes common to
311 organisms, as well as those features
which are unique to humans, is essential to
~ttainself-understanding
- and to provide a
basis for wise decisions.
-<
Even the simplest organisms are
incredibly complex and a complete
understanding of even one of these has, as
yet, eluded biologsts, even though some
~rganismshave been subjected to years of
intensive scrutiny. Biology will thus
zontinue to be a fertile field for research for
many years to come.
Still, in recent decades great strides
have been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those
at the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem
levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to
humans, including advances in medicine,
3griculture and food science.
Because a complete understanding of
2iological systems depends on applications
~f the principles of physics and chemistry,
3 firm background in the physical sciences
is also important, to support the student's
xoad-based understanding of biology.
For many, an undergraduate major in
2iology serves primarily as a basis for
hrther study. Augsburg graduates have
3one on to further studies in the Life
;ciences, leading to careers in college or
miversity teaching, basic and applied
research, and public health. Others have
mtered professional programs in medicine,
veterinary medicine and dentistry. Other
graduates have gone directly into a variety
of careers, including secondary education
and laboratory technology.

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

T
he Augsburg Computer Science
Department strives to give students a
sound theoretical and practical foundation
in computer science. We offer both a B.A.
and a B.S. major. The computer science
curriculum places emphasis on networks,
communications and the use of computers
as an information access tool. The course
work provides students a strong base in
computer science, with emphasis on
concepts rather than on applications. We
encourage students to strengthen their
course work by electing an Internship or
Cooperative Education experience. Our
location in the Twin Cities provides us an
excellent resource of such experiences for
students, and allows them to add practical
applications to their education.

A
major in East Asian Studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program which is available
as a result of the cooperation and crossregistration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China and other East Asian nations
and to gain a functional knowledge of the
language of one country.
Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
Studies include government service,
international business, journalism, language instruction, Asian arts and intercultural communication. The major provides a
foundation for graduate work in various
fields such as anthropology, economics,
history, international relations, business,
law, political science, sociology and theatre.
This major is also recommended for those
interested in education and work with
social and recreational agencies.
East Asian Studies Faculty
Martha Johnson, Director
Major in East Asian Studies
Nine courses are required for the major.
Courses in the major must be approved by
the campus adviser, and are distributed as
follows: four courses in an East Asian
language; four additional courses, two of
which must be Upper Division (strongly
recommended that one of these be a historj
course on China or Japan); and an East
Asiarl Studies Seminar. A term of study
abroad and the completion of a minor in
another discipline are strongly recommended.
Study abroad opportunities for the
semester or a year are available in Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea and the People's
Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by
offering a cross-cultural experience in the
country of specialization.
Language Courses
Hamliie University offers elementary
and intermediate courses in Chinese.
Macalester College and the University of
St. Thomas offer elementary and intermedi.
ate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University of
Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese
languages (without extra tuition charges);
see campus adviser. Non-majors may also
take the Chinese and Japanese language
courses.
-
East Asian Studies
Minor in East Asian Studies
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. A minor in
East Asian studies provides exposure to an
area of East Asia which would complement
other disciplines.
Note: Interim courses or new courses
related to the East Asian Studies Program
may be substituted when appropriate, with
the consent of the campus adviser. Faculty
advising is recommended at all stages of
the major to plan a coherent and effective
program.
Each campus has a member on the
ACTC East Asian Studies committee who
can assist students. The current advisers
are: Augsburg College - Martha Johnson
330-1715, Hamline University - Richard
Kagan 641-2433, Macalester -Yue-him
Tam 696-6262, St. Catherine -Martha
Hardesty 690-6189, St. Thomas - Robert
Foy 962-5603.

T
he Economics Department offers a
program which stresses a strong theoretical
background, quantitative analysis and an
emphasis on national and international
issues. Students who graduate with an
Economics major are well prepared to
continue their education in a variety of
fields or to work successfully in business
and government because of the strong
liberal arts emphasis within the major.
Currently, four majors are offered. The
Economics major is designed primarily for
students who are planning graduate or
advanced professional studies. The
Applied Economics major generally leads
to careers in the business world or govemment. Computational Economics meets the
challenge of the changing career opportunities in the fields of Economics and Computer Science. Finally, the combined
Economics/Business Administration major
is designed for those who want more flexibility in planning their program of study.
The study of Economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze
and to make choices. Some reasons for
studying Economics are: Economics deals
with current problems; Economics is a
successful and prestigious social science;
Economics employs theoretical models and
the scientific method; an Economics major
prepares students for community leadership; and an Economics major leads to a
great diversity of career opportunities.
These include careers in business, law,
teaching, journalism, politics, banking and
finance, service in government, educational
administration, private and public intemational service and industrial relations. A
degree in Economics may prove to be a
valuable credential.
Students are also able to combine an
Economics major with other disciplines
such as Business Administration, Intemational Relations, Mathematics, Computer
Science, Management Information Systems
(MIS), Political Science, History and Nordic
Area Studies.
Transfer students majoring in the Economics Department must take at least four
Upper Division Economics courses at Augsburg, one of these must be ECO 312 or 313.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the Department chair
and the Internship office before registering
for academic credit.

program involves four years at Augsburg
and, typically, two years at the Institute of
Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the B.A./
B.E. curriculum with the addition of several
extra courses that are completed at
Augsburg during the senior year to
minimize the number of undergraduate
courses, if any, that students must take at
the University before proceeding through
the graduate curriculum. The number of
such courses varies by IT department and
area of emphasis within a department.
Application for admission into the
B.A./M.E. program should be initiated
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg. Formal application for
the program may be completed during the
senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
Washington University (Three Year Plan)

hose who study. English
believe that
.
m intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
Ire and who they can become. Writing
helps all of us clarify and share our
thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence.
Through the study of English we see life's
complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which
we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors.
With the other arts, English is concerned
with the pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of
works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual
and group behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas and in the
relation between meaning and language.
With science, English is interested in
discovering order and determining
structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of
language. With history and the other social
sciences and humanities, English studies
the way people have acted and thought at
different times and in different cultures.
The Augsburg English Department
integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities of this vital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or
recommended plays, films, and readings
available near the campus. English majors
have the opportunity to use and refine their
skills through working in Internships on
and off campus, tutoring English as a
Second Language (ESL) students, tutoring
in the Writing Lab, or participating in the
Cooperative Education Program.
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary,
secondary and college education, joumal-
ism, government, law, the ministry, library
science, medicine, advertising, public
relations, publishing, writing and other
professions and businesses.

H
istory is to society what memory is
to an individual; it brings to a civilization
an understanding of its identity. The
distinguished medievalist J.R. Strayer
expressed it this way: "No community can
survive and no institution can function
without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as
much as by laws, which is to say that we
are ruled by the collective memory of the
past. It is the memory of common experiences which makes scattered individuals
into a community."
The study of history enables us to deal
more knowledgeably with continuity and
change in society. The construction of an
informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating
the future. History majors are prepared to
be active and contributing members of
their society. The study of history, which
has long held a major role in the liberal
arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate study in several
fields, and a wide range of employment
opportunities which require abilities in
communication, conceptualization, and
processing of information.

integrated cultural region with a shared
history, common values, and a high degree
of political, social, and economic interdependency. Courses in Nordic Area Studies
postulate a Nordic regional identity as a
context in which to appreciate the differences between the five individual countries
and to understand the complexity of their
interactions among
. themselves and the
global community.

A
t least since Socrates, scholars have
appreciated the value of mathematics in
developing the skills of critical thinking,
understanding abstract concepts, and
analyzing and solving problems. Coupled
with the more modem needs of quantitative reasoning, these skills are still essential
for any liberally educated person. Mathematics courses at Augsburg are intended
to help develop these skills in three ways.
Mathematical ideas have had a formative impact on the development of civilization. Since a liberal education should
include a variety of perspectives on our
culture and heritage, a study of mathematics and its influences is an important part
of a liberal arts education.
The Department aims to provide its
majors with skills necessary to serve the
larger community through a variety of
careers. Mathematics majors are prepared
for graduate school or work in industry or
service professions. Students may pursue a
concentration in applied mathematics or
the more traditional major. Internship and
Cooperative Education options help
students take advantage of Augsburg's
proximity to the many technically-oriented
enterprises in the city.
Additionally, an increasing number of
academic disciplines require a working
knowledge of the tools of mathematics.
This Department serves students majoring
in a wide variety of fields. Toward the goal
of serving students with a diversity of
needs, the Department uses a calculus
curriculum in which students leam
concepts in the context of learning skills of
mathematical investigation. A major
federal grant supported the development
of this AUGMENT curriculum.

Math Placement Group (MPG)
Before enrolling in any mathematics
course, the student must have appropriate
math placement. All students are required
to have their Math Placement Group
(MPG) determined. In some cases, students
who have transferred in a college-level
mathematics course taken at another
college may have their Math Placement
Group determined by the Registrar's
Office. Students who have passed the
College Board Advanced Placement Exam
should consult with the Mathematics
Department. All other students must take
the Augsburg Math Placement Exam. The
exam is given during college registration
sessions and at other announced times
during the year. Students needing to
advance their Math Placement Group may
work with the Academic Enrichment
Center to take the appropriate MAT course
or study on their own and retest. Additional information about the Math Placement Exam is available from the Academic
Advising Center.

T
he Modem Languages Department at
Augsburg College contributes many
ways to realizing the College's mission of
providing liberal arts education for service
in today's world. The Department is
committed to the view that education
should go beyond career preparation and
that familiarity with the language and
culture of another people is an essential
step in the development of a truly global
perspective.
The Modem Languages Department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian and Spanish. Introductory courses in Arabic, Ojibwe and
Russian are offered at Augsburg, and
courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin and
Greek are available to Augsburg students
through the College's affiliation with
ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities
colleges.
In addition to courses in language and
culture, the Department offers linguistics
courses in which students may go beyond
the study of individual languages to
investigate the general principles that
operate in and shape all languages.
Knowledge of several languages,
perhaps combined with the study of
linguistics, is essential in preparing for
careers in second-language education and
translation, but also represents a valuable
special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in
international business, social work, the
diplomatic corps, the health professions, or
the ministry may wish to take a second
major or minor in modem languages. In
addition, a minor in languages or linguistics is a valuable research tool for those
intending to pursue graduate study in most
academic disciplines.

Performance Studies for Credit
Four elements are required of music
majors/minors - lessons, jury examination at end of each semester, mandatory
attendance at student performance recitals,
master classes, and attendance at off- and
on-campus performances. See Music
Department Student Handbook for details.
Areas of Concentration
The music major/minor student must
declare an area of concentration. A
secondary area, required of Music Education students, necessitates additional
lessons, jury examination and performance.
Lessons: Private instruction in voice,
piano, organ and any instrument is
available for all students in the following
categories:
No credit - one half-hour lesson and
three hours of practice per week.
One-quarter course credit - one halfhour lesson and four hours of practice per
week.
One-half course credit - two halfhour lessons and eight hours of practice
per week.
One course credit - two half-hour
lessons and 12 hours of practice per week.
Performances: All students registered
in Performance Studies for credit must
perform each year in a general student
recital, at the end of each semester for a
faculty panel (jury examination), and
additional performances as required by th
instructor.
Listening: All music majors/minors
registered in Performance Studies for
credit are required to attend designated
music events during each semester
(recommended: four on-campus and four
professional off-campus events for music
majors, and a total of four events for musi
minors during each semester). Failure to
attend the required number of recitals,
major ensemble concerts, other designatec
events, the Student Performance recitals
and master classes will be a factor in
determining the final grade received in
Performance Studies. Music majors must
pass a total of three Music Repertoire test:
music minors must pass one. Consult the
Music Department Student Handbook for
contents of Music Repertoire tests and
specific degree requirements.
Recitals: A committee composed of thc
student's teacher and two other music
faculty members will determine the final
grade for all recitals. A pre-recital hearing
may be requested for students performing
recitals that partially fulfill degree require
ments. The charge of the recital jury shall
be to determine if the recital is likely to be
adequately prepared by the recital date fo
the student to receive a grade of 3.0 (B.M.
Performance) or 2.5 (B.A., B.M.- Educatio
B.S.) as specified in Department guideline
Concurrent registration in Performance
Studies in the major performance medim
is required for recital performance.

T-
he Augsburg Nursing Program is
designed exclusively for registered
nurses
who want to increase their opportunities in
the health-care field.
The scope of nursing practice is
changing and expanding. Nurses are being
called on to function in a variety of settings
that differ from those in the past. Today
nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools and
community organizations. Some are selfemployed, rurming their own businesses.
All of these nurses provide comprehensive
health assessment for individuals from all
cultures and socioeconomic levels. From
helping parents have safe deliveries of
healthy d a n t s to coordinating home care
for the dying, nurses assist people through
the entire life span.
The bachelor's degree equips the nurse
with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral and nursing
sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg
College also provides the educational
opportunities to increase skills in critical
thinking, clinical investigation and
decision-making that prepare nurses to
handle challenging new positions in
today's health-care field.
Augsburg's nursing program, leading
to a Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in Nursing, is accredited by the
National League for Nursing. Graduates of
the program are eligible to apply for public
health nurse registration in Minnesota.
With two additional courses, they are
eligible to apply for school nurse certification.

T
he Philosophy Department assists
students to understand issues raised in the
traditional areas of plulosophy. We
consider questions about what knowledge
is and how we know, about the nature of
reality, about the basis for making moral
judgments, and about the rules for correct
reasoning. Our goals are to instill in
students a love of truth, to inspire a
curiosity about the sigruficance and
meaning of the world they experience, and
to develop the skills of critical analysis and
creative synthesis.
The department places a special
emphasis on the history of philosophy,
offering four courses covering the period
from the ancient Greeks to the end of the
20th century. In these courses students are
taught how to read, understand, and
criticize great texts of Western civilization,
and to see how ideas have developed and
matured through the centuries. The
department also offers other courses where
philosophy, its methods and ideas are
applied to other disciplines like relipon,
science and the arts.
The major has been carefully planned so
that students can easily graduate with two
majors. Though some majors continue on
to graduate school in philosophy, most use
the major to prepare for other professional
studies such as law, medicine or the
Christian ministry. Philosophy majors
generally outperform others on graduate
entrance in examinations in medicine and
law. Others enter the work place, confident
that the study of philosophy has pven
them the ability to think critically.

T
he Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is designed for students interested
in careers as health care providers.
The physician assistant concept
originated during the mid-1960s. Physicians and educators recofized there was a
shortage and uneven distribution of
primary care physicians. To combat these
problems, the physician assistant program
h a s developed. h physician assistits
must, by law or regulation, have a supervising physician. An important element of
the physician assistant education is the
emphasis on patient education.
-
The Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is a 27-month program of study
for students with at least 64 semester hours
of college credit. A new class of 24 students
begins each May. Students who intend to
enter the Physician Assistant Program must
apply by Dec. 31 of the previous year. The
program is very competitive and not all
students who apply are accepted. Physician
Assistant students who have not previously obtained a baccalaureate degree will
earn a Bachelor of Arts in Physician
Assistant Studies upon successful completion of the Program.
The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is currently in the process of obtaining accreditation from CAAHEP (Cornrnission on Accreditation of Allied Health
Education Programs). At the time of printing of this catalog, the Program was six
months from the site visit for accreditation.
The mission statement of the Augsburg
Physician Assistant Program is to be
generalist Physician Assistant professionals, well educated in theory and practice,
dedicated to excellence in performance,
with the highest standards of ethics and
integrity, committed to lifelong personal

P
hysicists are not only curious about
the world, but ambitious as well. Their aim
is to understand the fundamental prin:iples which describe and govern all
physical aspects of the universe. Called
"natural philosophers" in previous
centuries, physicists investigate natural
systems by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics
includes the study of systems ranging in
size from sub-atomic particles to the largest
of galaxies and from the relative stillness of
near absolute zero temperature to the fiery
activity of the stars. As a fascinating and
expanding area of study and as a basic
science, physics plays an important role in
many of the liberal arts disciplines and
contributes to society's understanding of
such areas as energy, weather, medical
science and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and realizing that
keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an
ever increasing challenge, the Department
intends to bring to the students not only
basic concepts but also insights into recent
developments. In this process, the faculty
expects challenges to arise, be met and
stimulate sound thinking, perceptive
judgment and an interest in experimental
techniques.
To this end a rigorous major provides
students with the in-depth preparation
required for graduate study. More than
two-thirds of the graduates in Physics have
completed or are currently working toward
graduate degrees at a number of fine
universities across the nation. A major in
physics provides flexibility. It also serves as
a stepping stone for graduate work in
related areas such as computer science,
atmospheric science and meteorology,
astronomy, oceanography, biophysics,
environmental science, engineering and
medical and health related fields.
In addition, the Physics program at
Augsburg functions in a supportive role
for students majoring in mathematics,
chemistry, biology and computer science.
The Department also supervises the
Pre-Engineering program with degree programs avdable at cooperating universities
at both the bachelor's and the advanced
degree levels.
The Department maintains active
research programs through its Center for
Atmospheric and Space Sciences. Several
students work each academic year and
summer as research assistants in these
efforts, which are supported by NASA, the
National Science Foundation and other
federal agencies.
The Department also administers
Augsburg College's portion of funds
designated for the Minnesota Space Grant
College Consortium, funded by NASA.
Cooperative Education, internshp and
undergraduate research programs provide
opportunities for students to apply their
physical science knowledge and problem
solving skills in practical situations in
industrial, governmental and academic
settings. Students may participate in
alternating term Cooperative Education
programs or work part-time during two or
more academic terms. Internship opportunities alone generally involve only one
semester.
The Department serves the liberal arts
tradition by offering courses for the nonscience students that will enable them to
attain a general understanding of a
particular area of science. These courses
seek to provide the basic starting point for
further study and the opportunity to enable
students to follow new developments with
some denree of comvrehension.

Ipirmly grounded in the liberal arts
tradition, political science has roots in the
humanities, including philosophy and
history. Through its use of statistical
analysis, it relates not only to other
behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and
sigruficance of authority in human affairs
establish the focus of political science;
because politics is a central and enduring
reality in the world, it affects and is
affected by many other human concerns.
As an academic discipline, political
science uses systematic inquiry and
analysis to examine political reality and to
suggest and test alternatives.The student
who majors in political science will explore
political ideas and values, investigate
political cooperation and conflict, analyze
md compare political systems and develop
perspectives on international relations. In
the process, the student will be encouraged
to relate insights from other liberal arts
disciplines such as philosophy, psychology,
?conomics,history and sociology to the
study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-fields of
~oliticalscience, the major supplies the
xeadth appropriate for graduate work in
h e discipline, as well as in public adminisration, public policy analysis, law and
>herprofessions. It also serves as a
bundation on which to develop careers in
?ublic service, business, communications
md other fields. Legislative and other
hternships, as well as significant indepenlent research projects, are within easy
"eachof Augsburg Political Science
;tudents in the Twin Cities area. Combined
~ i t broad,
h
balanced and flexible course
~fferings,these special opportunities
mhance the student's potential for graduIte study and a successful career.
Augsburg Political Science students
have the benefit of an experienced faculty
that brings a balanced expertise to the
course offerings, as well as special
strengths in interpreting politics in the
contexts of the mass communications
media, communism and American public
law. The Departmental faculty is cornmitted to the view that the study of politics,
involving as it does an understanding of
the human heritage and the importance of
informed choice in human affairs, is an
important aspect of liberal learning.

P
sychology, with its emphasis on
behavioral observation and data, provides
a perspective on human activities which is
an integral part of a liberal education. The
goal of the Psychology program is the
improved understanding of human
behavior by studying how people cope
with their environment and interact with
each other.
The Department's courses have three
basic goals: (1)to introduce the student to
the current information and methods in
psychology as well as earlier approaches to
psychological questions; (2) to develop the
abiity to analyze, interpret and evaluate
behavioral research, and (3) to provide
practice in the application of these principles. The Department program provides
an emphasis on both field experiences and
the theoretical foundation for graduate
study in psychology and related areas.
Internships are designed to provide
students with practical pre-professional
experience. On-the-job experience gives
students the opportunity to test career
fields and develop professional contacts.
Psychologists use a variety of methods
to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology at Augsburg have varied
professional specializations which include
areas such as counseling, physiological
psychology, human development, personality, social, cognitive and organizational
psychology and analysis of public policy.
The Psychology program's emphasis on
the use of a problem solving approach, the
acquisition of information about human
development and interaction, and the
development of human relations skills can
be beneficial in careers in business,
education and other social services, the
church and government, as well as in
careers such as research, law and medicine.

A
ugsburg College understands itself
as a college of the church and it is persuaded that the Christian faith provides an
appropriate perspective from which to
undertake its educational task. The biblical
faith and tradition of the Christian church
have influenced the whole world and they
have affected and continue to influence
language, literature, history, values and
political structures.
While the fundamental orientation of
this College is to the Christian faith, it is
also true that the field of religion obviously
includes more than is represented by the
Christian faith. Large segments of the
earth's population live by religious
concepts and ideas which are different
from Christianity.The Department of
Religion seeks to introduce students to
some of these major religious traditions.
It is the hope and expectation of the
Department that students will become
better acquainted with the content and
character of the Christian faith, enabling
them to reflect theologcally on their own
religious commitment. Courses in religion
are not intended to be footnotes to courses
in other disciplines and departments. The
study of religion and the discipline of
theology have an integrity of their own.
The College offers both a major and a
minor in Religion and a major in Youth and
Family Ministry.

T
he Social Work major prepares
graduates for entry-level generalist
professional practice in the field of human
services. The program is accredited by the
Council on Social Work Education and
leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The
program is based on a generalist model of
practice, enabling graduates to work with
individuals, families, groups, communities
and to develop and analyze social policy.
Courses within the program utilize a
student empowerment model for teaching
and learning.
Augsburg's social work major provides
a strong foundation for graduate studies in
a variety of fields. Since 1991 Augsburg has
offered a full-time Master of Social Work
degree on a weekend schedule.
The College's commitment to the liberal
arts is highly compatible with education for
professional social work practice. The
liberal arts foundation, with its emphasis
on breadth of understanding, cultural and
ethnic diversity, openness to new ideas,
analysis and synthesis, is ideal for social
work education. As Sir Richard Livingston
has said, "A technician is a person who
knows e v e r y k g there is to know about
his/her job except its ultimate purpose and
social consequence." Effective social
workers go beyond being technicians.
Augsburg social work graduates are entrylevel professionals.
Augsburg College's motto, "Education
for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of
the Social Work Department. Unique
learning opportunities for field work
placement and cultural enrichment are
hrovided by a metropolitan setting known
for a humane quality of life which is
enhanced by the arts, outstanding human
services and a highly-educated populace.
Social work opportunities abound. Minne.

of its social services. The Twin Cities, as the
hub for these services, provides both a
variety of field placements for social work
students and external experts for the
classroom. The ethnic and economic
diversity present in this metropolitan area
provides opportunities for social work
students to learn to understand, appreciate,
respect and work with people different
from themselves and to be enriched by this
opportunity to interact with diverse clients
and professionals.
The Social Work Program strives to
contribute to its environment as well as to
gain from it. Appropriately, social work
students have been involved in a wide
variety of community service efforts
including helping to develop the LINK
program on campus, mobilizing students
to assist a social service agency in their
annual Christmas giving program, and
tutoring at a local neighborhood center.
The Social Welfare minor and electives
in the Department allow students to
support another major while gaining
knowledge about human needs and
growth, human services and the methods
of effective citizenship. Students taking
these courses have the opportunity to
become knowledgeable about public issues
and develop and nurture a perspective that
sees the central importance of diversity to
the social fabric of this country. But beyond
knowledge, students are encouraged to use
their talents and skills to address the needs
of society in the interest of the public good,
always emphasizing social justice.

S
ociology is the study of society as a
whole and of human social organization
and groups. The sociological perspective
provides a way to better understand the
social world and how individuals come to
think and act as they do.
The goal of the Department is to help
students develop their understanding of
the social order and how it affects them in
their daily lives. Sociology majors develop
an understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
sociological tools of analysis, and learn
how to apply sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional
learning models available, such as internships, independent study, Interim courses
and field studies. The Department urges
students to use Augsburg's metropolitan
setting as a laboratory for learning.
Internships and Cooperative Education
enable majors to apply the theories and
research skills of sociology while they
explore career alternatives. Augsburg
alumni who have majored in sociology are
currently employed in the human resources
departments of both government and
private corporations, in industrial relations
work and in program evaluation. Others
have used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as law, the
ministry, social work, urban planning and
criminal justice.

Note: SOC 399 is highly recommended.
Concentration in Crime and Community
Society is increasingly concerned about
crime. Not surprisingly, many of our
students are interested in the field of
criminal justice.
The concentration is not a traditional
criminal justice major. Rather, the focus is
on understanding crime in the community
with respect to the prevention and solution
of problems that lead to crime, as well as
understanding the criminal justice system
developed to respond to it. Students
interested in community crime prevention
as well as the traditional aspects of criminal
justice - courts, prisons, probation, and
law - will be served by this major. See
Department Chair for specific requirements.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific
licensing requirements for teachers
which may differ slightly in emphasis
from the Augsburg major requirements.
The state requirements may also be subject
to change after publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should consult with
the Augsburg Education Department to
identify current Minnesota teacher
licensure requirements.

e
quality
of
our communication. A
-communication major at Augsburg is
designed to enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of contexts and
to improve communication skills.
Since communication careers demand
a broad educationa1background, the
Department strongly encourages a second
major or two minors in fields such as
business, economics, English, history,
international relations, political science,
psychology, religon, social work or
sociology.
The Augsburg Communication major
focuses on competency in both speech and
writing, as well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities
and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as
aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic,
literature, statistics and research methods
in their programs.
Prospective majors should meet with
a Departmental Adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

T
he study of theatre is essential to a
liberal arts education in that theatre is a
way to experience, experiment and
integrate knowledge from many disciplines, such as: art, music, history, philosophy, religion and literature. For this reason
we offer liberal arts connections through
cross disciplinary and interdisciplinary
courses. As well, we offer a solid base in
classical, modem and contemporary
theatre while incorporating non-Western
and nontraditional theatre to support our
commitment to the multicultural experience.
At Augsburg we seek to create every
opportunity for students to grow as human
beings by encouraging connections
between theory and application through
course study, production work and the
Artist Series. Theatre productions are
created as unique learning laboratories in
creative collaboration with faculty and
artists-in-residence. Augsburg is an ideal
place to study theatre as it is located in a
major theatre center. Students expand their
knowledge of theatre not only by attending, but by working with numerous local
theatre artists and professional theatre
companies.
Augsburg theatre students participate
in all aspects of theatre production, while
learning skills such as creative problem
solving, critical thinking, collaboration,
public relations, leadership and articulation
of ideas both verbally and visually that
translate to a variety of careers. We help
prepare students to enter graduate school,
law school, semina~y,education, business
and various communication fields including professional theatre, television, film
and journalism.

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with Fall and
Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time
for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and
ways not possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the sanie amount of time in class and
preparing for class as they would for a four-course load during Fall or Spring semesters. Students can register for only
one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund
for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
It is expected that students will attend every class period;
however, each instructor will establish the precise attendance
policy for hislher course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
PassINo Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only
on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the
student must select which is most appropriate for their needs.
Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading
standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees,
although intended to be accurate, may change and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final costs.
To graduate, a student under the 34 course Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements is required to complete two
Interim courses, but three Interim courses may count
toward graduation.
For any student entering after January 1993, a maximum of
two Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33
total course credits required for graduation. The number of
required Interim courses is adjusted for transfer students.
Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form, or consult the Registrar. Additional Interim credits
which can count toward the 33 course credits required may be
taken by students who repeat a course for credit in which a
grade below 2.0 was earned, or who need to make up for a
regular term in which they failed or withdrew from a course.
Additional Interim courses not counted toward the 33 course
credits required may be used to fulfill other degree requirements. That is, no more than two Interim course credits may
be taken for credit toward 33, but additional Interim courses
may be used to fulfill major, minor or general education
requirements.
Day School students (3.0 credits or more for Fall) can take a
total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two half credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time (Fall
term). If less than full-time they will be charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a
cross registration, but will be charged Day School tuition
($1,420.00) per course credit. If they do so they may take only
1.0 additional course credits in Weekend College for Winter
Trimester.
It is the policy ofAugsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed,
notional or etlirtic origin, age, niarital status, sex or handicap as required by
Title IX ofthe 1972 Educotiotial Atnetidmenis or Section 504 ofthe
Rehnbiliiation Act 011973, as otiietided, it1 its adn~issionspolicies, educotiotlol
programs, activities and eniploynietrt practices.
International Interim - Students are invited to be part of
one of the 24 international Interim courses offered by the
Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education
(UMAIE). These course opportunities are listed near the
end of this catalog.
Internships deadline - Friday, December 13. January Interim
internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an
internship must meet departmental requirements and present
a signed internship learning agreement plan to the Internship
Office (Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the last day of Fall
classes (Friday, December 13). The Learning Agreement forms
are available in the same office. Internships during Interim
must involve full-time work placements for approximately
four weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the Internship and Cooperative Education Office.
Independent StudylResearch or Directed Study - Students
may elect a program of independent study (upper division
499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim.
Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting
responsibility for more than one independent study per
Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed
study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the Registrar a copy of the proposed study
plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the
directedlindependent study registration form. These
forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate
study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in
the Registrar's Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs can be consulted in the Registrar's Office. Registration for Interims at the
other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular
registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at
other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but
may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements. This qualification particularly
affects courses offered in religion.
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4- 1-4
schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge
tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver
of tuition does not include special fees, housing or board
costs. Other
