TOPICS IN LITERATURE: FILM
ADAPTATIONS OF FICTION
Schmit
This course is designed to consider narrative
fiction as a genre and tlic novel as a literary form.
To do this we will look at what happens whcn
novels arc recast in the strict thrce-act form of a
scrccnplay and translated into thc medium of film.
By focusing on differcnces with respect to point of
view, narrative time, and modes of representatiml
(linguistic vs. physical representation, for
example), we will see what a novel does and llow
it does it. We will read four novels as a class and
view a film adapted from each. In addition, cnch
studcnt will read a novel and view a film, then
make a presentation to the class about tllc
adaptation. In addition to thc prcsentatiou, there
will be a six to cight page paper and a final exam.

into a savage." The powcr of the city to nourish or
corrupt the human soul is a persistent theme in
western tradition. This course will study primarily
American novels, pocms, essays and films that
explorc this theme. Texts will be supplemented by
the resourccs of thc Twin Citics. Course work will

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 41-4 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 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.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
Pass/No Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded
only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course
description.
Some courses are offered 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, an Augsburg student who is under the
Distribution requirements is required to complete three
Interim courses. For a student under the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements, two Interim courses are required.
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.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on
the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital
status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies,
educational programs, activities and employment practices.

The catalog lists courses by departments. Departments are
listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings
of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by
the College for Interim credit. Additional descriptions and
infomation about these courses are available in the Interim
Office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of
the lifetime sports listed at the end of the catalog.
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 10. 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 10). 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
directedlindependent study registration form. These forms
must be submitted by November 29. Appropriate study
proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the
Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 41-4 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 41-4 schools are
accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be
accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education require
ments. This qualification particularly affects courses offered
in religion.
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 41-4
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 dors not include special fees, housing
or board costs. Other students will bc charged $1,050 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 both ACTC exchange students and
visiting students may not register for 299 or 499 courses.

The development of the concept of evolution, arguably the
single most important unifying biological principle, will be
traced in this course from preDarwinian times to the
present. In so doing the massive body of evidence in
support of evolution will be addressed as will the pathway
of the evolutionary process and the proposed mechanisms
of that process.
Notwithstanding its acceptance by the vast majority of
biologists, evolution continues to be surrounded with
controversy. The antievolution movement including its
newest form, "scientific creationism," will be studied as will
the ongoing scientific debate concerning evolutionary
mechanisms. Finally the course will focus on some of the
reciprocal relationships between evolution and society.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist
primarily of lectures and discussion. Some audieslide
presentations and videotapes will be utilized. Grading will
be based primarily on quizzes and tests, but participation in
discussion will also be a consideration.

The Florida Keys provide an excellent site for the study of
marine organisms and marine ecology. Most of the approximately two weeks in Florida will be spent at the Newfound
Harbor Marine Institute located on Big Pine Key. The
Institute offers laboratory facilities and field trips in addition
to housing and a dining hall. Field trips will permit the
study of diverse habitats such as those of coral reefs,
shallow bays, mangrove swamps, sea-grass communities,
and tide pools. Organisms from these communities and
others will be investigated on site and in the laboratory. A
marine biologist from the Institute will be available to lead
all field trips and conduct specialized classes. Upon
termination of the program at the Institute, there will be a
short t i p to the Florida Everglades to experience yet
another interesting environment.
Preparation for the excursion to the Keys will be made
during the week prior to the trip. This will include an
introduction to marine biology utilizing a variety of
audiovisual materials. The final week will be devoted
primarily to study and the completion of the course
requirements. Cost is $1,350.
Evaluation will be based on overall participation in the
program, a detailed journal based on daily experiences, and
a final examination. Upper division students will also do a
special research project which will be the basis of an
extensive paper.

This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the
popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a
traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science
background. Basic science and math are introduced early
and taught as needed for understanding the various topics
and implications. The course does assume the student is
interested in and concerned about the relationship of
chemistry to life and living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for
centuries. The early scientists were considered to be
philosophers and their societies were philosophical
societies. In recent decades the human seeking of personal
independence has led to chemistry becoming a part of
everyday life to the point of actual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, "the
Pill," food additives and processed foods, vitamin supple
ments, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides,
pollutants, drugs, searching for life on other planets, genetic
manipulation, and it goes on and on. Emotions and mental
disorders can often be traced to chemical imbalance. The
common dragged out, grumpy feeling after an afternoon
nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The nature of a
hangover is the result of a complex system of altered body
chemistry. Even learning appears to be the result of
chemical reaction to form a "memory molecule." Most of
the problems we face are molecular in nature. What then
but chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves,
our society, our world, and our universe? Come join us as
we take a molecular look at the human condition.
This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format.
Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Daily
quizzes will be used for evaluation. This course does not
satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106 or 116.

classic texts. We will examine how dramatic works of the
late 70s, the 80s, and the 90s, written in English, have been
shaped by and have addressed issues ranging from racial
tension to sexual preference. (We sometimes survey current
drama on several such topics, like class, gender and

The poet Walt Whitman once called baseball "America's
game." In the century since Whitman uttered those words,
baseball has occupied a prominent (and permanent) place in
American life in some ways equivalent to business, politics,
religion, and race. In this course, then, we will examine the
relationship between the United States and its national
pastime.
Our focus will not be on the game between the lines, the
great players and teams. Instead, we will take up several
topics which can illuminate the historical evolution of this
country. Some of these include: professionalization and its
impact on amateur baseball, the role of ethnicity and ethnic
rivalry, the color line, the emergence of the "big" leagues at
the expense of the "minor" leagues, women's baseball, labor
relations and the empowerment of the players, the impact of
television, and the ballpark as an urban place. Special
attention will be paid to baseball in the Twin Cities and
students will be asked to do a short research paper on some
aspect of baseball history in this region.

How do we see? How do we listen? How do we respond to
theater? What is the nature of art? How are ideas conveyed
in art forms? What do the visual arts, music, and theater
have in common? How do they reflect the society in which
they were created? Is art timebound or timeless?
All art forms are linked to a particular time and place. We
see that the visual arts, music, and theater always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of their time. Using
examples of music, art, and theater created in Europe in the
Baroque period, the course will explore how to appreciate
and understand the various art forms, examine the relationships among the arts, and consider the expression of
enduring themes and ideas at different points in time.
Students will participate in the course through various
readings, including reading plays, studying scores and
listening to recordings, and reading primary source material
comected to the art pieces considered. Using the resources
of the College and the city, students will also attend a
special performance of the Augsburg Faculty Artist Series,

Is abortion wrong? Is killing a terminally-ill person murder?
Are there some crimes for which capital punishment is
justified? Is there such a thing as a just war?
These questions and the various answers proposed arouse
deep emotions and often hostile confrontations among
many groups in our society. All too often, complex moral
issues get reduced down to simplistic slogans when these
groups campaign to maintain or change laws on these
issues.
This course will utilize readings on these complex and
burning moral issues as an introduction to ethics and critical
moral thinking. We will consider some philosophical
theories on the nature of moral obligation and personhood
to help us get past emotions and slogans to a much deeper
and informed understanding of the philosophical problems
which lie behind the controversies surrounding abortion,
euthanasia, capital punishment, and war.
The course will combine lecture and class discussion on
some contemporary philosophical readings on killing.

The quest to understand how light and matter interact is at
the heart of modem physics, and lasers are probably the
most ubiquitous technical product of these ideas. "Making
Light of Matter" will begin with an overview of optics
needed for understanding imaging, beam control and
dispersion, including the nature of light, reflection, refraction and interference. This sets the stage for treating the
physics of superradiant devices and lasers, and the impact
of cavity design on output characteristics. The course will
conclude by applying these concepts to the study of atoms
and simple molecules by the emission, absorption and
scattering of light.
Considerable emphasis will be placed on laboratory
experiences; only onethird of the class period will be used
for formal lectures and discussion, with the balance spent in
the laboratory. Grades will be determined on the basis of
weekly evaluation of laboratory notebooks, two onehour
exams, and a formal research paper.

Instructor William Morris
This course will examine the impact of the American
political system upon public policy making in the United
States. Three topics of major policy importance will be
selected for examination in the way they are addressed by
particular political practices and/or institutions. The class
will evaluate the options available to policy-makers in light
of the scholarly literature and other information available on
each subject. It will then assess the interplay between these
choices and their handling by the political system. Close
attention will be given to an exploration of the ethical
situation and dilemma of decision-making in politics.
As part of the course, students will submit written analyses
and evaluations of the success and/or failure of the policymaking process in addressing these problems. These, plus
additional articles and portions of books from the social
sciences, will serve as a basis for class discussion. The
papers, a test on the assigned readings outlining the policymaking process in the United States, and class participation
will determine final grades.
Students taking the course for lower division credit will be
expected to complete papers on two of the three policy
issues addressed in the course. Those taking the course for
Upper Division credit must complete an additional paper
on a policy issue of their choice not covered in class.
Prerequisites: Students should have completed at least one
lower division social science class.

Marriage has been described in terms of a free fall, a
decision that we often make with a portion of our brain and
all of our heart. This course will take nothing from the heart,
whether you are married or not. It will, however, increase
your certainty and the possibility for meaning and intimacy
in your life with a partner. In the context of Christian
teachings, many theories will be studied, with particular
attention given to the work of C.G. Jung, and will be applied
to the marital relationship primarily, and to the family
secondarily.
There will be lectures, discussions, and visiting resource
persons. Evaluation will be based on class participation, one
paper, and two tests. Two books will be required.

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 science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods: the origins of the Christian faith, the
development of "modern" science and mechanistic philosophy, and the reevaluation of science and nature in the 20th
century. 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 synthe
sis paper based on the group project and course materials.

.mntroduction
to the Master
of Social Work
Program Philosophy
The Master of Social Work program at Augsburg College is
based on the following:
..- Understanding of and respect for diverse people and cultures
..- A tradition of excellence in its programs, faculty and students
..- Its metropolitan location which attracts students from diverse
backgrounds
..- Access to many challenging and rewarding field placements
I.
..- A commitment to educate the whole person
..- A solid foundation in and integration with the liberal arts
..- Responsibility and service to and with the broader
community in the interests of social justice
..- Commitment to oppose oppression
..- A focus on client empowerment
..- Preparation for ethical, competent, professional practice
..- A framework for practice of problem-solving within a
systems perspective.
Dual concerns of the Augsburg Master of Social Work Program
are the delivery of service to families in all their diverse forms
and the planning, development and administration of services.
Social justice is a particular focus throughout the program, while
individuals are recognized as capable of adaptation, growth and
change. Intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional and psychosocial issues are addressed with clients in relation to their locus,
be they within the individual, the family, the community or the
larger societal systems. Client self-determination, growth and
empowermen t (personal recognition of one's ability, rights and
place in the social change process) are recognized and fostered
through support and education. In the interests of constructive
social change that promotes social justice, students are educated
to address institutional oppression (e.g. , age, gender, race,
disability and religion).
Professional preparation at the Master of Social Work level at
Augsburg is founded on the following assumptions:
.., Analysis and presentation of complex social issues and
solutions must be based on solid research. Augsburg MSW
students will develop competencies to conduct, analyze and
present practice-based research .
.., The world is interdependent in all areas, including human
needs and the services to address them. Students will become
knowledgeable of social welfare policies and programs that
address changing needs of the world community.
Accommodating the Needs of Adult Learners
The Master of Social Work Program is designed to meet the
needs of adult students, (e.g. ,students who are employed, have
family obligations and/or must travel distance to obtain
graduate social work education). Augsburg College takes pride
in its focus on adult learners throughout its programs. TI1e
College is committed to education for experienced working
people. The Weekend College now equals the size of the
traditional day program. The library, student center, computer
center, counseling, parking, food service and many other
support services are open to accommodate students. Faculty
arrange office hours to meet student needs. Inexpensive oncampus accommodations are available for students who travel
to attend the program and wish to stay overnight. Classes meet
during alternate weekends in four hour blocks: Friday evening,
Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon. Students meet one
Sunday afternoon per trimester for a program seminar that
addresses specific professional issues related to ethics.
The MSW Program builds on the liberal arts base of the College
and supports the College's mission statement:
To dt.>velop future leaders of service to the world by providing
high quality educational opportunities wl11'ch are based in tlie
liberal arts and shaped by tlte faith and values of the Christian
Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus community.
The courses of study include the Core, the Concentration, one
elective and the Thesis seminar. Students must complete 18
courses (twelve, if the Foundation Core is waived). The complete program includes: nine core courses (six Foundation; three
Advanced) seven Concentration-related courses; one elective
and a Master's Thesis Seminar. This includes 900 hours of
professionally supervised, MSW Program-approved social work
field experience.
The Foundation Core begins the Augsburg MSW Program.
These six courses, including 420 hours of MSW Program
approved field work, must be successfully completed prior to
enrollment in the Advanced Core or concentration courses.
These courses may be waived for persons who hold a baccalaureate degree in Social Work from a CSWE accredited program.
•
I
The Pre-Concentration Core consists of three courses, which are
required of all students. These courses are the enrry point in the
program for persons with baccalaureate degrees in social work
from institutions accredited by the Council on Social Work
Education.
Concentrations
Concentrations are in two areas: Family Practice and Prognm
Development, Policy and Administration. These concentrations
include six courses beyond the Pre-Concentration Core, including 480 hours of college approved, professionally-supervised
field work. Research II focuses on practice of the concentration.
Family Practice
Family, in its diverse forms, is central to society. ''Pamily,"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 family-related challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need for professionals who base
their professional practice on in-depth 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 Development, Policy and Administration
Social change is necessary for fostering policies and service that
respond to human need. Tile Program Development, Policy, and
Administration concentration has been developed in response to
the growing demand for creative leadership and administration. Effective services require participative development,
competent practitioners, strong leadership and effective
administration. Students following this concentration will
develop the abilities and skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.
Electives
Students must select a minimum of one elective in their course
of study toward the MSW degree. Students are encouraged to
select other electives to develop special interests.
Master's Thesis and Seminar
The thesis is intended to represent the capstone of the student's
work.
All students complete a Master's thesis based on practice in
their area of concentration. A thesis seminar supports students
in developing their theses.

history and current social systems and social policy as they
relate to all our lives and especially to the lives of clients,
communities and social workers. Comparisons are made
internationally, with a focus on England's influence on early U.S.
"poor law''and social welfare. Special emphasis will be placed
on analyzing the major assumptions, ideas and events which
contributed to the rise of the welfare state and the profession of
social work. The profession's values, ethics and historical
development are also reviewed. Both theoretically and practically, this course enables students to assess the development of
social welfare with an understanding of the influence of social
work and of the development and impact of social policy.
SWK 502 Field Work I
Students select their own field placement from a list of Programapproved agencies.
Beginning supervised professional experience in a social work
setting focuses on interviewing experience and relationship
building. Supportive seminars coordinate integration of theory
and practice, as well as providing the supportive setting for
raising social work practice issues with peers.
SWK 503 Field Work II
Continuing supervised professional experience in the same social
work setting, consecutive to Field Work I, focuses on refining
previous skills and understanding and moving into new tasks.
Initiative and progressively more independent work over time is
supported.
- ·_. ·:-..
SWK 505 Methods and Skills of Social Work I
This course identifies basic features of the helping process:
theoretical foundation, principles and techniques of Social
Work intervention. It provides role play and simulation
experience necessary for social work practice with individuals,
families and groups. Throughout the course, work with a
diversity of professional, natural helping networks and client
groups is stressed.
SWK 506 Methods and Skills of Social Work II
This course emphasizes systems and social change through a
focus on community organization, social planning and social
change and their connection to social policy. A focus on group
work continues into the macro setting with task oriented groups.
Other theories and methods appropriate to these macro approaches are studied. Skills are developed using role plays and
actual work with a community group. Throughout, the focus is on
work with diverse groups.
Pre-Concentration
SWK 504 Research I
Research plays an important role in building knowledge for social
work practice. This course provides an overview of methods
commonly used in social science research, in addition to the
ethical and applicability concerns in social work research. Research design is studied using both qualitative and quantitative
approaches. Methods of program evaluation are discussed.
Students have beginning hands-on experience with the use of
computers to analyze data statistically.
SWK 520 Introduction lo Family Practice
Theories and concepts underlying holistic professional social
work practice with families are explored. This course addresses
concepts of families in their diverse forms and function in the
context of the life cycle of their members, family systems theory,
the dual perspective, and stressors which may shape or alter
family development. Ethical issues of professional social work
practice with families are integral to this course.
SWK 521 Introduction to Program Development, Policy and
Administration
Social services are commonly carried out through organizations;
thus social workers are usually members of organizations.
Organizations and the effective functioning of social workers
within them is the focus of this course. With an assumption of
"organizations as communities," an overview of theories of
organizational development, maintenance and communication
are presented. The contributions of diversity in the agencyI
community is an important focus. Social workers' important
roles in agencies, as well as professional, ethical, effective
functioning in organizations are explored.
Concentrations
SWK 523 & 524 Field Work III & IV
The purposes of the Field Support Seminars are (1) to provide
the student opportunities to share experiences from his/her
practice in a confidential setting; (2) to give and get support,
honest feedback, and valid encouragement on issues regarding
field placements, in particular, and social work practice with
families or in administration/program development, in general;
(3) to discuss and help the student integrate theories and
methods from other social work classes into the practice experience; and (4) to promote the development of students' leadership roles in organizations. These seminars accompany the 480
hours of professional supervised field work in the area of
concentration.
SWK 527 Research II
This course offers a practice-oriented exploration of the range of
research methods used in social work, a critique of the role of
research in assessing effectiveness in the social service delivery,
and identification with the responsibility of social workers "to
expand the knowledge base" of social work. Building on the
basic research skills developed in Research I, students actively
adopt the researcher's role in relation to both their current
agency experience and their preferred practice setting. The
course will enable students to use basic statistical methods for
organizing, interpreting and analyzing quantitative data, plus
creative techniques for qualitative data.
Family Practice
SWK 540 Family Practice I
This course builds on content initiated in the Introduction to
Family Practice course, focusing in-depth on the "normal"
developmental crises of the family across the lifespan, and in
relation to the larger environment. Problem-solving methods and
cross-cultural models of practice are studied as well as policies
that affect families and practice.
This course is a prerequisite to SWK 541 Family Practice II and
must be taken prior to or concurrent with SWK 523 Field Work III.
SWK 541 Family Practice II
This course is a continuation of Family Practice I. It further
explores the family as cause and effect in the community in
benefitting from or changing social policy. Students will study
issues for further discussion, culminating in development of their
own service delivery models. Ethical and religious dilemmas (e.g.
abortion, euthanasia) will be raised. Advanced study of family
developmental issues focuses on catastrophic events and on
empowering families and the profession to take leadership in
developing appropriate intervention strategies and policies.
SWK 542 Family Diversity
This course examines the various theories underlying professional practice with families in their many diverse forms. Recognizing that the family is the basic institution through which one
is socialized, this course will also examine how family membership shapes one's understanding and appreciation of ethnicity,
gender roles, sociological script. The course also explores the
impact of policies, discrimination and political, social, and
economic disorder on diverse families.
SWK 543 Creative Problem Solving for Supervision
This course examines how social workers can discover their own
creative abilities in relation to innovation in social work supervision and practice. The course examines the relationship of
creativity and self-esteem. This course also explores ways to help
others, e.g. workers, clients, agencies and communities to
eliminate barriers which inhibit creative responses to problemsolving and practice.
Program Development, Policy and
Administration
SWK 550 Processes of Program Planning and Development
Building on the community organization and research foundation (including needs determination and program evaluation),
the primary processes of program development study in this
course are: techniques of program planning and budgeting,
development of necessary community and larger public support,
identification and mobilization of resources, and funding proposal preparation.
SWK 551 Organizational Development and Administration
The activities and skills necessary for effective program
administration are studied including short- and long-range
planning; leadership; program implementation and management; personnel recruitment, allocation, supervision and
management; social work values and ethics in the workplace;
analysis of financial statements; administrative policy, board
relations and agency policy implementation.
SWK 552 Interorganization, Community and
Political Relations
The development and maintenance of constructive relationships with external organizations in both the public and private
sectors are critical to successful implementation and management of social service programs. An organization's power to
influence social policy is related to such relationships. The
development and maintenance of these relationships so critical
to the provision of services that address community needs, and
the influence of social policy to effect social change are the foci
of this course. Among topics included are: interorganizational
relations, public relations, public information, political activity
and leadership.
SWK 553 Advanced Social Policy
All social workers have impact on the development and
modification of social policy whether intentionally or unconsciously. This course provides an in-depth focus on the development and implementation of social policy at the various
levels of the public and private sectors. The various means by
which social workers can have intentional impact on policymaking and exercise leadership roles is studied. Reading,
seminars and an internship in the policy area are included.

Thesis
SWK 589 Master's Thesis and Seminar
The study of research, like all of social work, comes alive in the
implementation. A thesis is required of all Master of Social
Work candidates so they may experience and learn the utility of
research to social work practice, and so they can contribute to
the knowledge of social work practice and to the building of
social work theory. The thesis is based on an area of the
student's practice focus. The research- selected by the student
in consultation with the thesis advisor - focuses on an area of
social need, practice, service and/or policy.
The thesis seminar is described in the Thesis Guidelines, which
all students must review. The seminar provides a forum for
students to develop their thesis plans, consult with each other
and the faculty leader, present research methodology and
identify how they will accomplish completion of the thesis.
The Augsburg library houses over 160,000 books, periodicals,
records, tapes and films. Music, Chemistry and Art History
libraries are located within the departmental areas. Access to

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

~TRODUCTION
Underlying these attributes is a
broad range of abilities and
awareness. These abilities and
awarenesses, outlined in the
diagram on page 5, serve as
specific outcomes for the Master
of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's
model of leadership development
is designed to assess, promote,
enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual.

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

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

and communication through the
investigation of a variety of
ethical perspectives within
human communication. This

This course offers an exploration of the context of social
change and varying responses to
diverse human needs. Ways of
achieving well-being may be
viewed differently by leaders in
public and private domains and
across cultures. The course
explores these various perspectives including areas of conflict
and opportunities for leadership
in social and organizational
change. Sociological, human
development and economic
theories are applied to contemporary public and private sector
issues for social change.
ML 540 Politics, History,

larly in leadership. Leaders,
regardless of their field, are
continually held accountable for
decisions in settings characterized by incomplete information
and limited time. The
constrained nature of the typical
decision making environment
necessitates the use of a systematic and objective decision
making process. Drawing on
various disciplines, course
participants will examine the
different stages of the decision
making process including:
analysis of the decision setting
and its relevant boundaries,
identification of acceptable decision outcomes, definition of the
implementation of the decision
and appraisal of potential
contingencies. While emphasis
is given to the qualitative rather
than quantitative aspects of
decision making, about 20
percent of the course will
include the development of
some basic analytical concepts:
data collection, graphs and
charts, measuring central
tendency and dispersion, and
association.

Non-traditional Programs for
approval of any variation in the
curriculum including the
transfer of credit. Transfer
credits will be evaluated on an
individual basis. The only

financial aid from available alternatives, including the following:
Augsburg Tuition Grant
Augsburg College may provide
grants and scholarships to graduate students who show academic
potential and have financial need.
Sponsored Scholarships
Augsburg actively pursues
outside funding for special
scholarships. The availability of
such scholarships may enable
the participation of individuals
of limited financial means as
well as individuals working for
volunteer agencies and other
organizations not likely to
provide tuition reimbursement.
Company Tuition
Assistance Programs
Many companies, agencies and
corporations offer full or partial
tuition assistance to employees
who participate in work-related
or degree-related college
programs. Augsburg College
offers several payment plans by
which employees may handle
tuition reimbursement.

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 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.
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 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 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, an Augsburg student who is under the
Distribution requirements is required to complete three
Interim courses. For a student under the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements, two Interim courses are
required. For any student entering after January 1993 a
maximum of two Interim course credits may be counted
toward the 33 total 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
credits required may be taken by students who repeat a
credit for a course 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
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 experiences 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
which is a Cross-Over, but will be charged Day School
prices ($1,270). They also can only then take 1.0 course
credits in Weekend College.

Internships deadline - Friday, December 9. January
Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students
electing an internship must meet departmental require
ments and present a signed internship learning agreement
plan to the Internship Office (Murphy Place, Rrn. 8) no
later than the last day of Fall classes (Friday, December 9).
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 directedlindependent study registration form. These
forms must be submitted by November 28. Appropriate
study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in
the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 41-4 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 Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are
accepted for credit by Augsburg, but might not meet
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
$1,270 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 299 or 499 courses.

This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the
popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a
traditional chemistry course and does not assume a
science background. Basic science and math are introduced early and taught as needed for understanding the
various topics and implications. The course does assume
the student is interested in and concerned about the
relationship of chemistry to life and living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education
for centuries. The early scientists were considered to be
philosophers and their societies were philosophical
societies. In recent decades the human seeking of
personal independence has led to chemistry becoming a
part of everyday life to the point of actual dependence on
chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers,
plastics, "the Pill", food additives and processed foods,
vitamin supplements, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching for life on
other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and
on. Emotions and mental disorders can often be traced to
chemical imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy
feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical
imbalance. The nature of a hangover is the result of a
complex system of altered body chemistry. Even learning
appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a
"memory molecule". Most of the problems we face are
molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better
help us to understand ourselves, our society, our world,
and our universe? Come join us as we take a molecular
look at the human condition.
This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format.
Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods.
Daily quizzes will be used for evaluation. This course does
not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106 or 116.

In this course we will identify what virtue is, inquire
about how one becomes virtuous, and explore some of
the major virtues - like compassion, honesty, prudence,
justice, and love - through classical and contemporary
literature. The goal is to provide opportunity for you to
think about your character and its development, to
enable you to ask about the relation between character
and moral actions, and to probe your curiosity by
considering possible tensions between the virtues, as
found in life situations.
The course is built around the question of values, in
particular, the issue of virtue (qualities of moral character). A broad list of virtues will be considered, including
the classical Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love. We
will look at what these virtues are, at their relationship to
each other, evaluate possible conflicts between them, and
see how they play out in life situations, both in literature
and (through the journals) in students' lives.

Although generally relegated to separate sections in
bookstores or to children's bookshelves, fantasy, as J.R.R.
Tolkien argues, is "not a lower but a higher form of Art,
indeed the most nearly pure form, and so (when
achieved) the most potent."
This course will study 20th century examples of fantasy,
looking for their roots in folktale, myth, epic and romance. At times the course will pair medieval and
modern works of the fantastic imagination (for instance,
"The Mabinogion" and "Evangeline Walton" or
"Beowulf" and 'The Hobbit"). We will attempt to define
the genre of fantasy by discussing essays by C.S. Lewis,
Tolkien, Ursula LeGuin, and Madelein L'Engle, as well as
considering relevant theories of myth and folktale by
Joseph Campbell, Axel Olrik, Lord Raglan, and others.
Students taking the course for lower division credit will
be asked to write several short papers. In addition to
writing several microthemes, ENG 482 students should
be prepared to write a substantial paper on the works of
a writer with whom they already are familiar.

What is the attraction of French literature for the nonFrench reader? What major French writers have portrayed diverse non-Western cultures and social strata in
their literary works? What can we discover about
ourselves and other cultures in learning how to read,
analyze, and communicate our findings through literature? With these questions in mind we will read and
analyze 8-10 shorter French literary works available to us
in English translation.
What will we be studying? The legend of St. Julien
presented in Middle Ages style by Flaubert, examples of
the Renaissance search for new worlds found in Rabelais,
a bit of Descartes autobiography. We will travel the
world with Voltaire's "Candide," explore social themes
of a 19th century nouvelle, and read 20th century authors
like Gide, Malraux, Camus, St. Exupery, and Duras with
their multi-cultural connections. We will sample one
piece of francophone literature from West Africa,
reflecting the struggle between indigenous and Western
culture. At mid-point you will choose another short work
for personal study, comparative analysis and presentation for the class.
Assessment in such a course will be ongoing, based on
individual and group response to the many activities in the
course. Timely reading of assigned texts, analyses, discussion preparations, short quizzes, and cultural discoveries
will enable you to undertake successfully your independent
study project and further enrich the whole class.
This literature course for the non-literature major is
intended to help you in further free reading, in your
critical thinking about other cultures, and in communica-
French
tion with people of cultural backgrounds other than your
own, including non-Western ones.

Many people believe that the Civil War was the most

that transformed the nature of American society. Put
more broadly, the years between the mid-1840s and the
late 1870s saw questions about such fundamental
principles as slavery and freedom resolved; others,
however, continue to trouble us to this day. This course,
then, offers a survey of the causes, issues, and consequences of the nation's bloodiest conflict. Topics to be
considered include slavery and anti-slavery, Manifest
Destiny, the growing sectional conflict, the origins of the
Republican Party, the clash of arms, the changing role of
women, popular religion, the transition from slave to.free

The focus of the course will be Southwestern Christian
history, with a special consideration of Hispanic Christianity, ranging from traditional Roman Catholicism to
evangelical and charismatic expressions. The course will
consider the Spanish roots of Latin Roman Catholicism
and the transplanting of those roots into Southwestern
North American soil. Next, we will consider Native
American influences which came to be ingredients in this
transplanted faith. Last, we will survey new expressions
of Hispanic Christian faith, notably the evangelical and
charismatic movements which have become important in
recent years. A highlight of the course will be a 12-day
trip to the southwest United States and northern Mexico.

Learn from your experience. Discover new ways to learn
about organizations, comrnunities, and yourself by
working/serving, observing, collaborating, and reflecting
on your own experiences.
The externship is a modified internship consisting of a
half-time placement and participation in a seminar that
meets twice a week. Each student will be assisted in the
process of securing an unpaid placement where s/he can
explore the world of work and/or service, obtaining the
valuable experience you need for the future you want.
The course is designed to achieve two major objectives:
1) to give you first-hand experience in working with
professionals and making connections between your
experiences and your Augsburg education; and 2) to
increase your ability to learn about organizations, the
community, and yourself from your own experiences.
Each participant will observe and work approximately 20
hours per week in a placement which matches his or her
interests. The seminar will meet twice a week for two
hours (T, Th - 1:30-3:30 p.m.). Evaluation will be based
upon the overall quality of participation, completion of
learning exercises, supervisor assessment, journals, and
seminar participation.
The course is offered on a P/N basis only.

Is our ability to use language acquired by learning, or is it
present from birth? What do all languages have in
common despite their obvious differences? How can
learning a foreign language be so frustrating for
adults, while young children learning their native
language seem to be having fun? Questions such as
these have fascinated people throughout history, and
recent developments in linguistics have begun to
provide some credible answers. The purpose of this
course is to survey the most remarkable findings in
this area and engage in some principled speculation as

Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 123) have been used extensively
in business for years. However, it is also possible to use
spreadsheets to solve physics problems without using
high-powered mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the
student who is not an expert in mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive level. We will use Lotus
123 to solve problems in a wide variety of physics areas
including planetary and projectile motion. Some of the
problems investigated might be in areas other than
physics. Grading will be based on spreadsheet projects,

This is the realm of high vacuum, without which most of
what we know as modern high technology would be
impossible. This course will acquaint the student with the
tools and techniques employed to produce, control, and
monitor high vacuum environments, and allow students
to use these to study the behavior of gases and surfaces
under these conditions. Experiments will make use of a
variety of chambers, pumps, and gauges as well as a
quadrupole mass spectrometer. Considerable emphasis
will be placed on laboratory experiences and scientific

A

traditions - the traditions of its founders,
of the church and of higher education in
the liberal arts. From this framework
springs a dynamic, challenging and
evolving institution that rises to the
challenges of today's - and tomorrow's changing world.
Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in
September, 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The
first college stude,ntswere enrolled in 1874
and the first graduation was in 1879.
Augsburg is committed to educating
the whole person, encouraging and
respecting diversity and serving the larger
community. Through education, understanding and service, Augsburg faculty,
staff and students can affect the future in
positive ways.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The phrase, "Think globally, act
locally" rings true at Augsburg. The
College's location in the heart of the Twin
Cities provides rich opportunities for
experiential education, volunteer service,
internships and cultural enrichment. In a
sense, the cities are an extended campus
for Augsburg students.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for service,"
and to the Mission of the College:
To developfuture leaders of 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,
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
Professor Weenaas recruited two
teachers from Norway -Sven Oftedal and
Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly
articulated the direction of Augsburg: to
educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister
to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students
for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three part plan:
First, train ministerial candidates; second,
prepare future theological students; and
third, educate the farmer, worker and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
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
About Augsburg 7
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 seminary.
The Focus Changed
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.
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 modern
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached full 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
Northwestern Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963.
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 non-traditional 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,
Augsbwg added the Music Hall,Mortensen
Tower, Urness Tower, the College 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.
- About Augsburg
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 11,800 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.

Financing higher education could be the
most significant investment a person or
family makes in a lifetime. So, proper
planning and wise choices are important,
not only in choosing a college, but also in
the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Office of Student
Financial Services, will help students and
their families with both monetary and
advisory assistance to protect access to a
quality education in spite of increasing
costs.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg is a combination of scholarships,
grants, loans and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal,
state, church and private agencies in
providing various aid programs. For the
1993-'94 academic year, nearly 9 out of 10
students at Augsburg received scholarships,
grants, loans and part-time employment.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid is intended to
supplement student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application help determine
the amount of assistance for which a
student is eligible. This analysis estimates
the amount a student and family can be
expected to provide for college expenses,
taking into account such family financial
factors as current income, assets, number of
dependents, other educational expenses,
debts, retirement needs and special
considerations.

Federal Stafford Student Loans Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan funds are obtained directly from a
local lender or state agency in states which
provide such programs. Subsidized
Stafford Loans are need-based loans which
the federal govenunent subsidizes by
paying accrued interest while in school and

accrued while in school or during the sixmonth grace period.
Interest begins accruing on the date of
disbursement for the Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower may
choose to make payments while in school
or may defer payments and allow interest
to be capitalized (added to the balance of
the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan is variable and changes
annually based on the 91-day Treasury Bill.
For students with existing loans, the
interest rate will match the interest rate on
their existing loans (7%,8%, 9% or

opportunity to gain academic credit for an
overseas experience. Through study abroad,
students may find themselves exploring the
ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico, meeting
with women's groups in Namibia, examining Scandinavianperspectives on world
peace or hilling to the sounds of music at a
Viennese opera house.
International Study at Augsburg College
is intended to motivate students to act
responsibly and effectively in society
by expanding their awareness of other
cultures, deepening their understanding
of the human condition on a global scale,
and helping them to understand the
connections between social justice and
global interdependence.
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.
Although foreign language skills are an
asset to students studying abroad, they are
not required. Since it takes some time to
prepare for studying abroad, students
should start planning during their freshman
and sophomore years. Students must apply
by December 15 for study off-campus for
the next academic year.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of many programs is equivalent
to full tuition, room and board for a
semester on-campus. Financial aid is
granted on the same basis as on-campus
study. Cost estifnates are drawn up to assist
the Financial Aid Office in awarding aid to
students studying overseas.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Study abroad is an integral part of
several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
- Academic

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
PROCRAMS
Through Internships, Cooperative
Education and Community Service,
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 to 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 a way that enriches and
expands 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 curriculum 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 midsize
companies, large corporations, non-profit
organizations, schools, government agencies and community-based organizations.
Academic Information 4
Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully
planned work-based learning experience
where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A
learning agreement plan, negotiated with a
faculty supervisor and work supervisor,
outlining the internship objectives, strategies and evaluation methods is required.
An academic internship is approved,
supervised and evaluated by a faculty
member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the Internship credit.
Upper Division Internships are numbered
399 and Lower Division Internships are
numbered 199.
Registration for Internships consists of
the following steps:
1.Obtain the Internship registration
permission form from the Internship and
Cooperative Education Office and secure
the signatures of the faculty supervisor and
Director of Internships and Cooperative
Education.
2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship
during the registration period. The signed
permission form must be turned in at the
time of registration. (Students may preregister without a placement secured, but a
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 Internship and Cooperative
Education Office, with copies made for the
faculty, supervisor and student.
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), Interim or
summer session. For extension of an
Internship beyond one term see Evaluation
and Grading on page 66.
A maximum of four courses of Internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education is a college
supported and monitored, paid, worklearning experience that is closely related to
a student's major or career objective. The
goal is to combine theory with practice in
work or servicebased settings.
Students also earn money to help defray
educational costs while gaining important
on-the-job experience. Job placements
typically are part-time during the academic
year and/or full-time summer. Co-op jobs
are flexible and can begin and end anytme.
Co-op Ed is not credited in and of itself, but
a non-credit Cooperative Education
transcript entry is available during the
academic terms the student is employed.
Co-op Ed students are encouraged to
complete at least one Internship for credit in
conjunction with their Cooperative Education participation. Co-op Ed is available to
Augsburg students who have completed
their freshman year and are in good
academic standing.
Service-Learning
Augsburg's Service-Learningprogram
combines respoke 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 which they live by participating in
orientation sessions, direct servicelearning
activities and seminars or class discussions.
-
Academic Intormation
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(s) and the
community. Service Learning includes
course-imbedded 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.
WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg Weekend College provides an
educational alternative for adult students
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a college degree,
complete a second major or pursue a
personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on
alternate weekends. There are three
trimester terms during the early September
through June academic year. Students may
take from one to four classes each term.
Although the Augsburg Weekend
College program involves the same courses
as the day school program, the curriculum
is limited to selected liberal arts courses and
the following majors: Accounting, Business
Administration (specializationsin finance,
international business, management and
marketing), Communication (concentrations
in general communication, organizational
communication and mass communication),
Computer Science, Economics, Elementary
and Secondary Education, English, Management Information Systems, Nursing,
Psychology, Religion and Social Work.
1 GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Augsburg College offers three
graduate degree programs: the Master of
Arts in Leadership, the Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership and the Master of
Social Work.
Designed for working adults, the
Augsburg Graduate Program operates on
alternate Saturdays and alternate Thursday
evenings. There are three trimester terms
during the early September through June
academic year.
The Master of Arts in Leadership
program is based on the subject matter and
approaches of the traditional liberal arts.
This cross-disciplinaryprogram directs its
academic content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues and problems
relevant to organizational leaders.
Augsburg's program recognizes that
today's leaders need broad-spectrum abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understandinn
., of their world.
The Master of Arts in EducationLeadership program values the role that
good educators play in the lives of students,
and operates from the belief that educators
need to exercise leadership within the
workplace without relinquishing the role of
teacher. The program promotes leadership
as a process, promotes productivity within
and beyond the organization and works
toward progress.
The Master of Social Work at Augsburg
offers two concentrations: Family Practice
and Program Development, Policy and
Academic Information
Administration. In the Family Practice concentration, students concentrate on empowering the family nurturing systems from a
developmental and holistic perspective.
Milda K. Hedblom, Canadian Program
Coordinator.
The Program Development, Policy and
Administration concentration has been
developed in response to the growing
demand for creative leadership and
administration of policies and services that
respond to human need.
Augsburg College has a commitment to
lifelong learning and is host to both
Elderhostel and College of the Third Age
programs. For more information, contact the
Academic Dean's office.
Both concentrations are founded on the
assumptions that analysis of complex social
issues and solutions must be based on solid
research, and that the world is interdependent in all areas, including human needs
and the services to address them.
These programs bring working adults to
the campus. They are complemented by the
College's Cooperative Education Program
(begun in 1984) that places Augsburg
students into paid work experiences.
OTHER PROGRAMS
Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers selected
courses through Continuing Education.
Inquiries should be addressed to the Office
of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
Canadian Program
The Canadian Program was inaugurated
in 1985with endowment from the
Mildred Joel Bequest for Canadian Studies.
The program supports special events and
conferences as well as student internships
and faculty activity in Canadian studies.
The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness
of the importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and provision of opportunities to
learn directly from Canadians through visits
and exchanges.
Elderhostel and College of the Third Age
REGISTRATION
A student must be registered for a
course to receive credit for it.
Full-time students normally register for
four course credits per semester and one
course during Interim. Students registered
for three or more course credits in a
semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 course
credits, students must contact the
Registrar's office to petition the Committee
on Student Standing for permission.
Although a student may register up to
five days after the semester begins,
registration is encouraged at the regularly
scheduled time. Special fees are charged for
late registration. Special fees also are
charged for cancelling or adding courses or
changing grading option after the first five
days of a semester.
A joint class schedule is published each
Spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities, listing courses and their location at the five colleges for the following
academic year. As some courses are offered
only in alternate years, students should
also consult with Departmental advisers
when planning their academic program.
Separate catalogs of courses are
published by the Interim Office, Summer
-5'
- Academic Information
iz
School Office, Weekend College Office
and Graduate Program Office for those
sessions at Augsburg, listing registration
times and procedures.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
The responsibility for seeing that all
degree requirements are satisfied rests with
the student. Academic Advisers, Department Chairpersons, the Assistant to the
Dean for Academic Advising and the
Registrar are available for counsel and
assistance in program planning. Students
who enter an academic program with a
baccalaureate or higher degree should
contact the Registrar's Office about specific
requirements for a second baccalaureate
degree or for the equivalent of a major.
Each student must apply for graduation. Students should apply at the start of
their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application
forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
All degree and course requirements
must be completed and verified in the
Registrar's office prior to the anticipated
date of graduation (there may be no
incompletes or open courses on the
academic record).
See the separate section on Graduation
with Distinction to learn about requirements for these honors, page 71.
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a
major, the First Year Experience (FYE), a
minimum GPA, residence, and general
education courses. Because the College is in
transition during the change from Distribution to Perspective graduation requirements, the minimum number of credits
required may vary depending on date of
matriculation, as follows:
Students Entering After January1, 1993,
Under Perspectives Curriculum Requirements For Graduation:
1. Completion of 33 course credits At least 11course credits must be Upper
Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s.
Not more than 13 course credits may be in
one department, except in certain approved
majors: Accounting (B.A.) - 14; Music
Education (B.M.) - 17; Music Performance
(B.M.) -20; Music Therapy (B.S.) - 17;
and Social Work (B.S.) - 15.
The course total must include two
Interims for students whose complete
academic work is at Augsburg.
For transfer students, the course total
must include one less Interim course than
the number of years at Augsburg (but no
more than two Interim courses are required). This is calculated on each transfer
student's evaluation of transfer credits.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 33 total course credits
required: two Interim courses; two courses
by independent/directed study; four
courses of internship; and eight course
credits with a grade of Pass (P). Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits:
two in the major except Elementary
Education (two in the major plus student
teaching) and Nursing (no PIN grading is
permitted); one in the minor if approved by
the department chairperson. Interim
courses taken that are not counted among
the credit total for graduation requirements
(extra interim courses) may still be counted
for meeting perspective or graduation
skills requirements.
2. Completion of a Major - Requirements for each major are listed under the
departmental headings.
3. First Year Experience (FYE) - All
students who enter the College as freshmen
in the weekday schedule program must
complete satisfactorily the FYE Fall

most majors. A grade point average of 2.0
is required over all courses taken and
specifically in all courses which apply
toward the major. Some majors, licensure
and certification require higher grades in
each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance,
music therapy, nursing, social work.) See
the departmental section for details.
5. Residence - The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of
the last 9 credits) must be completed at
Augsburg or within an approved ACTC
exchange program. No less than a total of 9
credits are to be taken at Augsburg College.
Contact the Registrar if an official interpretation is needed.
Students Entering Prior to January1,
1993, Under Perspectives Curriculum Requirements For Graduation:
1. Completion of 34 course credits At least 11course credits must be Upper
Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s.

required: three Interim courses; two
courses by independent/directed study;
four courses of internship; and eight course
credits with a grade of Pass (P). Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits:
two in the major except Elementary
Education (two in the major plus student
teaching) and Nursing (no P/N grading is
permitted); one in the minor if approved
by the department chairperson. Interim
courses taken that are not counted among
the credit total for graduation requirements (extra interim courses) may still
fulfill perspective or graduation
skills requirements.
2. Completion of a Major -Requirements for each major are listed under the
departmental headings.

SKILLS COMPONENT
Entry Level Skills Requirements
The entry level skills tests are inventory
assessments in:
Reading
Word processing
Writing
Mathematics
Critical thinking
Placement in writing courses, math
courses and critical thinking courses
is determined by the assessments. (See
page 68.)
Freshmen (all students entering
Augsburg with fewer than seven college

Take entry level skills assessments
and satisfy requirements.
If skill levels are deficient, students
will be enrolled in the appropriate course
or advised on preparation for retaking the
respective tests. Students are required to
take the assessments before registering for
the second term and to have demonstrated
removal of deficiencies by the end of their
first year at Augsburg.
Effective Writing or its equivalent is
required. Students who do not satisfy the
entry level skill in writing will be required
to take ENG 101Developmental Writing
before ENG 111Effective Writing. Fresh-
men should complete the writing requirement before the beginning of their Sophomore year.
Those with demonstrated word
processing skills; e.g. recent verifiable work
experience, are exempt from the word
processing inventory.
Students who have college credit for a
critical thinking or logic course are exempt
from the critical thinking inventory.
Freshman and Sophomore transfer
students will be required to satisfy all the
graduation skill course requirements.
Juniorand Senior Transfer Students
Transfer students who enter as juniors
and seniors in 1993-'94 or after are exempt
from word processing, reading, critical
thinking and quantitative assessments.
Those who have not taken the ENG
111Effective Writing course must take the
entry level test in writing. If they do not
achieve exemption from the writing
requirement, they must take ENG 111
Effective Writing at Augsburg.
Junior and Senior transfers (who enter
1994'95 or after) are required to satisfy all
the graduation skill course requirements,
except that only the writing component
course within the major is required.
Math Requirement
In order to graduate, students must take
the Math Placement exam and achieve a
score placing them in Group I11 (college
algebra skills).
Students with an acceptable transfer
mathematics course will have their
placement level determined by the
Registrar's Office. Students who have
passed the College Board Advanced
Placement Exam should consult the
57
- Academic Information
Mathematics Department. Math placement
is indicated on the Evaluation of Transfer
Credit form for students who have transfer
courses in college-level math.
All students are required to have their
Math Placement Group determined. 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
take the appropriate MAT course or study
on their own and retest. Additional
information about the Math Placement
Exam is available from the Director of
Testing in the Academic Dean's Office.
Please note that all students majoring in
Accounting, Business, Economics, Elementary Education, and Management Information Systems and all students under the
current General Education Perspective
Curriculum Requirements must attain a t
least Math Placement Group 111. In
addition, many courses have Math Placement Group requirements. In particular,
MIS 379,479; CSC 170,210; SOC 362; PHY
103; all MAT courses; and all courses with
a Graduation Skill Component in Quantitative Reasoning have at least Math Placement Group I11 as a prerequisite. In
addition, MIS 175 and introductory Physics
courses have at least Math Placement
Group I1 as a prerequisite. Students should
refer to the course descriptions to check the
Math Placement Group prerequisites for
courses that they are interested in taking.
Graduation Level Skills
General Education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in
college. Skills related to writing, critical
thinking, speaking and quantitative
reasoning are deliberate components of
certain courses. Completion of the requisite
courses with a miriimum grade of 2.0 or P
is required for graduation. Students are
required to have two courses with writing
components (at least one within the major)
and one course each with critical thinking,
speaking and quantitative reasoning
components. These courses can simultaneously satisfy skill requirements and
graduation requirements for the major or
general education perspectives.
Lifetime Sports
Demonstrated proficiency in two
different Lifetime Sports is required.
Lifetime sports are no-credit courses and
are not included in the 35,34, or 33 course
credit requirement.
W LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES
The General Education Liberal Arts
Perspectives have the primary goal of
providing the basis for beginning to
understand what it means to be a human
being at this time. The goals of the Perspectives are achieved through a variety of
courses which have been approved as
meeting the criteria established for each
Perspective. Although courses approved
for each Perspective meet the General
Education requirements, not every course
meets all the goals of each Perspective.
Students will choose from a list of
courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the Office of the
Registrar. These choices are controlled by
the following policies:
1. A student will choose a minimum
of one course from each required perspective category.
2. No single course cim fulfill the
requirements in two or more categories.
3. No student will be permitted to
count more than three courses from
Academic Information
the same department in meeting perspective requirements.
4. No student may count more than one
course from the same department in
meeting the requirements of any single
perspective emphasis area except:
Up to three courses in religion may be
used to meet the perspective, "The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The
Christian Faith."
Up to two courses in a year-long
sequence (biology, chemistry or physics)
may be used to meet the perspective, "The
Natural World."
Up to two courses of the same foreign
language may be used to meet part of the
perspective, "Intercultural Awareness."
THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE
REQUIREMENTS
Christian Faith (CF 1, 2 and 3)

departments are required to meet this
Perspective unless a two-year sequence is
taken. One course is required to meet this
Perspective for transfer students entering
with 14 or more course credits.
THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVES:
EXPLANATION
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, theological concepts, ethical
values, their own faith and values, and
religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated.
From this perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. The Bible (for example, its origins,
structures, content or interpretation).
2. Christian theological and religious
concepts and their own religious beliefs.
3. Religious concepts and practices
found in religious traditions outside the
Christian faith.
4. Their own and others' values, their
relation to Christian values, the possible
grounds for these values, how these values
might be critiqued and defended and the
role values play in the issues that confront
our society.
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, governmental 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
seminars related to the experience.
Academic Information
Perspective: Western Heritage
Perspective: Aesthetics
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.
Aesthetic creations convey fundamental
insights and values, express beauty and
enhance life. This Perspective focuses on
aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by
oneself and others.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. Central ideas, texts or works of art
that historically have been significant for
Western society and the relation of these to
present world views.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. Forms of artistic expression.
2. Historical development and variation
in aesthetic taste and performance across
cultures and how different cultures have
expressed themselves through various
aesthetic forms.
3. Different theories of aesthetics.
2. Specific historical themes, trends,
events and persons and their roles in
shaping both the past and the present.
4. Their own creation or performance of
a work of art.
3. Historical and literary methods of
ascertawg and conveying the past.
Perspective: The Social World
This Perspective is intended to help
students view themselves as persons, men
and women with unique abilities, values,
beliefs, experiences and behaviors.
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.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:

human organization at the group and
societal level.
2. Scientific or humanistic interpretations of their own development as persons.
2. Current theories and methods for
understanding social, political or
economic systems.
Perspective: Human Identity
3. Questions of faith, ethics and
moral choice in their personal and professional lives.

'L
Academic Information
the student's own responsibilities
in society.
5. The ways that social, economic or
political structures differ across cultures
and affect diverse groups in society.
Perspective: Intercultural Awareness
This Perspective is intended to comple
ment 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
into another culture by learning to speak
and read a language other than their
native language. For this part of the
Perspective, students are required to have
demonstrated proficiency in a modern
language or American Sign Language for
hearing students.
The modem language requirement will
be determined by assessing previous
experience and subsequent placement:
Modem Language
Course Placement
Experience
or Requirement
College level - none
(0-2 semesters in High School)

Students who are required to complete
two semesters of modern language must
complete the requirement with sequential
courses in the same language. Hearing
students who have demonstration compe
tence 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.
From this Perspective, students should
gain an understanding of and critically
reflect on:
1. Selected aspects of the natural world.
2. The characteristics, strengths and
limitations of science and the scientific
method, and the complex relations between
data and theories, at least in part through
practical laboratory experience.
3. The history of science, its relations to
other historical/social development and
the variety of ways persons and civilizations have approached the natural world.
4. The relations and differences between
science and theology; the mutual influences
of technology, values, and the natural/
physical environment; the limits imposed
on humans by the natural environment and
the interconnectednessof all living systems.
5. The importance of symbol systems
such as mathematics in attempting to
describe, classlfy and model objects
and events.
Academic Information
H THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVES:
RATIONALE
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.
Augsburg, in its Mission Statement,
declares the College exists "To develop
future leaders of 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."
One way which the College seeks consciously to realize this Mission is through
its General Education curriculum, which
Augsburg has 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-disciplinary 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
the 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 significant aspects of this
heritage. Thus, the Perspective on the
Western Heritage. At the same time, to
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 upon
-
6:
54
Academic Information
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. This 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 setting.
STUDENTS ENTERING UNDER
DISTRIBUTION CURRICULUM
Former Students
Former Augsburg students, readmitted
to complete a degree, have a choice
between using the catalog in effect when
they first enrolled, if possible, or using the

provided that they have been away from
college for at least one calendar year.
Regular Students Enrolled Before June,1991
Students enrolled before June, 1991,
have a choice of using all graduation
requirements in effect when first enrolled
or changing to the graduation requirements
in effect beginning in September 1991. No
combination of requirements may be made.
Students Entering Augsburg September,
1991, or Later
Students entering under the following
classifications will follow the Distribution
Requirements as outlined below.
Transfer students who entered in
1991-1992 as sophomores, juniors or seniors;
Those entering in 1992-1993classified
as juniors or seniors;
Those entering in 1993-1994 classified
as seniors.
All other students entering Augsburg
September, 1991, or later will follow the
requirements listed in the section titled
"The Augsburg General Education
Curriculum" (see page 55).
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION DISTRIBUTION CURRICULUM
1. Completion of 35 course credits At least 11course credits must be Upper
Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s.
Not more than 13 may be in one department, except in certain approved majors 14 (Accounting) for the Bachelor of Arts
degree, 17 (Music Education) or 20 (Music
Performance) for the Bachelor of Music
degree, 15 for the Bachelor of Science
(Social Work), and 18 for the Bachelor of
Academic Information 6:
Science (Music Therapy) or Bachelor of
Science (Nursing) degree. The course total
must include three Interims for students
whose complete academic work is at
Augsburg. For transfer students, the credit
total must include one less Interim course
than the number of years at Augsburg. This
is calculated on each transfer student's
evaluation of transfer credits.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 35 total course credits
required: two courses by independent/
directed study; four courses of internship;
and eight course credits with a grade of
Pass (P). Non-traditional grading (7)also
has these limits: two in the major except
Elementary Education (two in the major
plus student teaching) and Nursing (no P/
N grading is permitted); one in the minor if
approved by the department chairperson.
2. Completion of a Major -Requirements for each major are listed under the
departmental headings.
3. First Year Experience (FYE) -All
students who enter the College as freshmen
in the weekday schedule program must
complete satisfactorily the ME Fall
Orientation and Seminar. See the program
section on the First Year Experience for a
full description.
4. Grade Point Average -2.0 for most
majors. A grade point average of 2.0 is
required over all courses taken and
specifically in all courses which apply
toward the major. Some majors, licensure
and certification require higher grades in
each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance,
music therapy, nursing, social work.) See
the departmental section for details.
5. Residence - The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of
the last 9 credits) must be completed at
Augsburg or within an approved ACTC
exchange program. No less than a total of 9
credits are to be taken at Augsburg College.
Contact the Registrar if an official interpretation is needed.
Writing
A course in writing (English 111) or
certification of demonstrated proficiency
by the Department of English. Exemption
tests are given during the summer and fall
orientation periods and periodically
throughout the year.
Liberal Arts
An approved course from each of these
seven areas:
Mathematics/Physics
Psychology/Sociology
Chemistry/Biology
Economics/Political Science
English/Speech, Communication
History/Philosophy and Theatre
Arts (devoted to the study of
literature)
Art/Music
A list of approved courses is available
from advisers and the Registrar's Office.
Modem Languages
Two courses (111and 112) of one
language at Augsburg. Students who place
above the 111level of a language will take
one additional course at placement level in
that language or two courses (111 and 112)
of another language. International students
should consult with the Registrar.
Religion
Three approved courses in religion, of
which not more than one may be an
Inte* course, are required. The number
- Academic Information
of religion courses required for graduation
is adjusted for transfer students. Transfer
students should check their Evaluation of
Transfer Credit form, or consult the
Registrar's Office.
Urban Concerns or Women's Studies
or Minority Studies
One course. Courses approved to
meet this requirement are published each
term. Information is available at the
Registrar's Office.
Lifetime Sports
Demonstrated proficiency in two different lifetime sports is required. Lifetime
sports are no-credit courses and are not
included in the 35-course requirement.
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:
In order to receive a grade of P, a
student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank
each as a "C".
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, pages 55 and 56.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(i.e. Lifetime Sports are graded only PIN).
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.
Number Grades
Number 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
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course
standards
0.5
0.0 Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
Academic lntormation
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 of
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, and comments
from the instructor; and must gain the
approval 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.
A course in which a grade of 0,0.5,1.0,
1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for aedit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken and grades
earned each term remain on the academic
record. Only the credits and grades earned
the second time, for legitimately repeated
courses, are counted toward graduation
and in the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it
is dropped after the deadline for dropping
classes without a notation on the record.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses
without aedit or grade may do so by
registering for Audit (V). Full-time
students may audit a course without
charge. The charge for part-time students is
listed under College Costs in the Financing
Your Education section on page 18. The
signature of the instructor is required to
register an audit. Students who audit a
course should confer with the instructor
within two weeks of the beginning of the
term to determine expectations, attendance
and any other requirements. If expectations
have been met, the course will be listed on
the transcript as having been audited. If
expectations have not been met, the
course will be listed with a grade of W
(Withdrawn).
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is
based on final grades for all work at
Augsburg. It does not include credit and
grade points for work transferred from
other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N
grading option are recorded, but not
computed in the GPA. The formula for
computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by
number of courses taken.*
*Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned

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 aedit 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 cumculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg
provides several means by which
students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. f i e
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.
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 $485.00 for a full course aedit.
The Credit Assessment Program
(CAP) - This is a aedit assessment
alternative in which a faculty committee
completes a credit evaluation of a learning
portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty committee is composed of the
Registrais Office representative and two
faculty members from fields of study
Academic Information 6!
directly related to the student's previous
learning. Informational meetings and
consultation are provided for students who
wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment. This may
include a personal meeting with the CAP
committee. In completing the evaluation of
a student's previous learning, the CAP
committee applies the following criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous
learing 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 of academic work at
Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process not be used
when four or fewer courses remain for
graduation. There is an application deposit
to initiate the credit assessment process,
and a charge for each semester credit
applied to the student's transcript if credit
is approved.
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
CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward
distribution requirements, Upper Division,
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 recognizes the validity of
learning that takes place outside the
traditional classroom, this learning must be
placed in the context of formal study in
campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalau'Ieate 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 CAP
Committee 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 country,
must take the ESL placement test in
conjunction with the English writing
placement test at orientation. Students'
placement in ESL, ENG 101Developmental
Writing or ENG 111Effective 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 earned in the class will determine
- Academic Information
'O
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.
If students do not meet the ESL
requirement, they will remain in ENG 2171
218 until they meet the criteria stated
above. Academic credit toward the degree
will normally be granted for no more than
two courses.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language
requirement for graduation.
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
GPA of 1.9 or higher
Senior - A student who has taken 24
or more courses with a cumulative GPA of
2.0 or higher.
It should be noted that a minimum
GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with
certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
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.
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
decision within 10 days to the Committee
on Student Standing.
Dean's List
The Dean's List, compiled after
each semester, lists students whose grade
point average for a semester is 3.5 or
Academic Information
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. Lf permission is given by the
student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each student on
the Dean's List.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude - 3.8 to 4.0
cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude -3.6 up to but not
including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude -3.3 up to but not
including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To quallfy for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed two years (14 traditionally graded
course credits) of work at Augsburg.
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the State
Approving Agency for Veterans Education.
Veterans should consult with the Office of
the Registrar about completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information to the Veterans
Administration. Veterans will need to meet
the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational
assistance funds received.
W FOUR YEAR ASSURANCE PROGRAM
This program applies to students who
enter the Day School schedule as full-time
freshmen in the fall of 1994 and thereafter.
New freshmen are assured that they will be
able to graduate,in four years -if they
maintain continuous full-time enrollment
for four years, maintain a 2.0 GPA and
follow advising guidelines - or they will
receive the needed remaining courses free
of additional tuition. A few professional
majors are excluded from this program.

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
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 FaU 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 in
alternate years, it is important that the
student review major requirements and
course offerings with an adviser to ensure
that all requirements can be met.

Credits
A full course is offered for one credit. A
few fractional courses, for one-half or onequarter 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 90minute 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

A
rt is important as a field of study for
our time. &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.
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 sigruficant
number of art galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
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.
Cooperative Education and Internships
in studio art and art history provide onthe-job, supervised, evaluated experiences
which contribute to the student's overall
education and development. Primary goals
include improvement of art and museum
skills, production and creative strategies.
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 sigruficant it should interact with
the content available in other fields, such as
language, history, drama, music, literature,
philosophy, theology, business, physical
education and science.
Hundreds of specific careers exist in the
general area of art, such as teaching in
public schools and colleges, ceramics,
interior design, photography, film and
video work, painting, gallery and museum
work and design. Augsburg Art Department graduates have worked in many of
these fields.

iology is the study of life and it is
natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
earth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanding
of the basic biological processes common to
all organisms, as well as those features
which are unique to humans, is essential to
attain self-understanding and to provide a
basis for wise decisions.
Another significant insight that has
emerged from the study of life is that even
the simplest organisms are incredibly
complex and a complete understanding of
even one of these has, as yet, eluded the
grasp of biologists. This is true even though
some organisms have been subjected to
years of intensive scrutiny. Biology will
thus continue to be a fertile field for
research for many years to come.
Still, an enormous amount of knowledge regarding living organisms has
accumulated over the years. In recent
decades great strides have been made in
understanding important biological
processes, particularly those at the cellular
and molecular levels. Biological research
has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans. Most advances in
medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture
and food science have depended on the
findings of basic biological research.
Because the biological world reveals
such variety, complexity and knowledge,
an undergraduate major in biology needs
to be broadly based. Because a complete
understanding of biological systems
depends on applications of the principles
of physics and chemistry, a firm background in the physical sciences is also
important for biologists.
For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves primarily as a basis for
further study. In past years Augsburg
graduates have gone on to further studies
in professional schools such as medicine,
veterinary medicine and dentistry. Others
have entered graduate programs in the life
sciences, leading to careers in areas such as
college or university teaching, basic and
applied research, and public or environmental health. Other graduates have
embarked directly after graduation on a
variety of careers, including high school
teaching 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.
*To provide an afmosphere 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.
Chemists as scientists must be well
versed in the science of chemistry,
knowledgeable in fact and theory for
solving scientific problems, and capable
of providing a public understanding of
their work including potential problems
as well as benefits.
*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.
Chemists as people must be broadly
educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts
core of religion, humanities, the arts and
the social sciences is imperative if a
chemist is to be truly human and therefore
truly scientific.
The Department is on the List of
Approved Schools of the American
chemical Society (ACS) and offers a
chemisty 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 encourage students to take a broad
view of their education and to seriously
study areas outside of the sciences.

EASTAND SOUTHEASTASIANSTUDIES
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 are diverse. Majors have the
opportunity to be involved in 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.

courses, two of which must be Upper
Division (strongly recommended that one
of these be a history course on China or
Japan); and an East Asian Studies Seminar.
A term of study abroad and the completion
of a minor in a 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
Elementary and intermediate courses in
Chinese are offered at Hamline University.
Elementary and intermediate courses in
Japanese are offered at Macalester College
and the University of St. Thomas. 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
are also eligible to take the Chinese and
Japanese language courses.
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.
Minor in East a'nd Southeast Asian
Studies
Major in East Asian Studies
The requirements for the major consist
of nine courses. 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
A minor in East and Southeast Asian
Studies is an area of concentration at

T
he Economics Department at
Augsburg offers s t u d e k a program which
stresses a strong theoretical background,
quantitative analysis and an emphasis on
both national and international issues.
Students who graduate with a major in
the Economics Department are well prepared to continue their education in a
variety of fields or to work successfully in
the business world and government
because of the strong liberal arts emphasis
within the major.
Currently, three Economics majors are
offered to students. 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 government. Finally, the
combined Economics/Business Administration major is designed for those who
wish to have more flexibility in planning
their program of study.
As graduates, students will face a world
in constant change. Students have to
prepare themselves to take advantage of
whatever opportunities become available.
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, both private and public
international service and industrial
relations. A degree in Economics may
prove to be a valuable credential. We
encourage students who major in economics to learn to be somebody rather than to
simply learn to do something.
Students are also able to combine an
economics major with other disciplines
such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, computer
science, management information systems
(MIS), political science, history and Nordic
Area Studies.
Internships are available and
highly recommended. Students must
consult with the Department chair and
the Internship office before registering for
academic credit.

LDUCATION DEPARTMENT - EDE,
s
tudents interested in attaining teacher
licensure or developing a background in
education as a base for advanced study in
other careers will find opportunities in the
Department of Education.
Professional education combines the
study of theory with practice, and field
experiences are an essential part of the
course offerings. The location of Augsburg
College is particularly advantageous for
field experiences because of the wide
variety of public, private and special
schools in the Twin Cities.
Classroom teaching is the career that
first comes to mind for graduates of teacher
education programs. Augsburg graduates
are found in many classrooms within the
Twin Cities area. In addition, they provide
educational services in classrooms across
the nation and abroad.
The teacher education program coupled
with the liberal arts program serves as a
solid base for graduate education. Some
teaching fields require graduate work
beyond the initial license in either elementary or secondary education. However, not
all graduates choose to teach in school
settings. Teacher education graduates are
also found in business, working in management, sales, production and service areas.
As of April 1,1988, all persons are
required to take the PPST (a set of basic
competency tests prescribed by the
Kindergarten-Elementary Major and
Licensure Requirements:
EDU 265 Orientation to Education in an
Urban Setting and Field
Experience
EDS, EDU
Minnesota Board of Teaching) in reading,
writing skills and mathematics prior to
beginning Upper Division courses.
All students must apply for acceptance
into the Education Department. Any
Education course grade below 2.0 must
be retaken.
Licensure in Kindergarten-Elementary
Education is available both through Day
School and Weekend College. Selected
secondary education programs are also
available in Weekend College.
Student Teaching Abroad
Selected Education Department
students may participate in an International Student Teaching Abroad program.
Students have options for student teaching
in dozens of countries through the international and American School network. Those
interested in further information should
contact the Education Department.
Students who student teach abroad will do
part of their student teaching in the Metro
area under direct Augsburg faculty
supervision.

ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements with three universities to
allow the student to earn a Bachelor of Arts
degree from Augsburg College and an
engineering degree from either the
University of Minnesota Institute of
Technology, Minneapolis; Washington
University School of Engineering and
Applied Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or
Michigan Technological University,
Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special
requirements and opportunities of these
programs, early consultation with the
Augsburg Engineering Adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs
require the recommendation of the
Augsburg Engineering Adviser.
Engineering Adviser
Stuart Anderson
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement
provides for two dual degree engineering
programs:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering
(B.A. / B.E.) enables students to receive a
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg
College and a Bachelor of Engineering
degree from the University of Minnesota.
The program typically involves three years
at Augsburg and two years at the Institute
of Technology.
Students may apply for the program
after completing the sophomore year. At
that time, they will be informed of their
status in the program and any further
conditions necessary for final acceptance
into the program. Formal application to the
Institute of Technology may be completed
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg.
Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of Engineering
(B.A. / M.E.) enables students to receive a
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg
College and a Master of Engineering degree
from the University of Minnesota. This
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)
Michigan Technological University (Dual
Degree Plan)
These two programs enable students to
receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering
degree from Washington University School
of Engineering and AppEed Science or
Michigan Technological University in a
five-year period.

Engineering
The first three years are spent at
Augsburg followed by two years at the
affiliated university. Students accepted into
the program will be considered for
admission to the engineering school if they
will complete course requirements, have
the requisite cumulative grade point
average and are recommended by the
Engineering Adviser of Augsburg College.

English relates closely to other majors.
With the other arts, English is concerned

and group behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas and in the
relation between meaning and language.
With science, English is interested in

HISTORY
- HIS
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."
A society's history is also a storehouse
of human experiences that enables us to
deal more knowledgeably with the
continuities and changes in current issues.
Established disciplines, as history long has
been, train the mind by developing
concepts and skills that enable one to deal
with masses of information. Many have
found that history is an entree into the
richer enjoyment of travel, cultural events
and the broad reading enjoyed by the
educated person. Accordingly, history has
long held a major role in the liberal arts.
This is true at Augsburg.
The Department has strength in, and
requires of its majors, work in four main
areas: ancient and medieval, modem
Europe, United States and the non-Western
world. The Department's graduates are
well represented among professional
historians; at present, some are in graduate schools preparing for such careers.
More have distinguished themselves as
social studies teachers in elementary and
secondary schools and current projections
indicate that there will be growing opportunity in that field for history majors. For
most of our students, however, the study
of history provides one of the better
undergraduate liberal arts experiences,
valuable both for a wide variety of career
choices and personal enrichment.

A
t least since Soaates, scholars have
appreciated the value of mathematics in
developing the skills of a-itical 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.
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 an integrated
curriculum that introduces mathematics
and science majors to modern mathematical developments and a wide variety of
concepts in the first two years, not just
calculus. A major federal grant supported
the development of this AUGMENT
curriculum.

T
he Modem Languages
- - Department at
Augsburg College contributes in 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. So
viewed, second language study goes
beyond the development of new communication skills to foster an abiding awareness
that the splendid diversity of human
languages, literatures and cultures represents a rich historic legacy developed in
different ways by many nations to be
shared by all in common. The Departmental faculty believes that familiarity with the
language and culture of another people is
an essential step in the development of a
global perspective and hence is indispensable in the education of Augsburg students.
The Modem Languages Department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian and Spanish. Intre
ductory courses in Qibwe 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. In this
way the study of linguistics provides a
unique view of one of the most intriguing
and central facets of the human mind.
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.

Ensembles (MUE)
One quarter course credit per semester
is granted to members of major ensembles
(MUE 111,112,121,141). Other ensembles
carry no credit. Traditional grading is
required for music majors and minors in
ensemble courses. The general student way
register for credit with either traditional or
P/N grading, or may choose no credit
status with audit (V) designation. A
maximum of two course credits in ensemble may be counted toward graduation
requirements.
Performance Studies for Credit
Four elements are required of music
majors/minors - lessons, jury examination at end of each semester, mandatory
attendance at performance workshop 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 Educa-
18
Bd
Music
tion 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 the
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) during each
semester. Failure to attend the required
number of recitals, major ensemble
concerts, other designated events and the
Performance Workshops or student
recitals will be a factor in determining the
final grade received in Performance
Studies. Music majors must pass a total of
three Music Repertoire tests; 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 the
student's teacher and two other music
faculty members will determine the final
grade for all recitals. A pre-recital hearing
will be mandatory for all students performing recitals that partially fulfill degree
requirements. The charge of the recital jury
shall be to determine if the recital is likely
to be adequately prepared by the recital
date for the student to receive a grade of
3.0 (B.M. Performance) or 2.5 (B.A., B.M.Education, B.S.) as specified in Department
guidelines. Concurrent registration in
Performance Studies in the major performance medium is required for recital
performance.
Students should carefully read the
Music Department Student Handbook and
consult continually with their applied
teacher. The following guidelines provide
an outline of requirements and procedures
which must be followed by all recitalists.
Departmental Sponsorship
Recitals required for the fulfillment of
the B.M., B.A. or B.S. degree requirements
or Honors Major will be sponsored by the
Music Department. Other student recitals
may be departmentally sponsored.
Duration and Repertoire Level
All departmentally sponsored recitals
must be representative of the academic
guidelines set forth in this catalog and
Repertoire Lists available in the Music
De~artment.
1.B.M. degree junior recitals (MUS 358)
will be one-half hour in duration, and will
be at repertoire Level I11 for Music Education majors and one hour in duration at
Level IV for Music Performance majors.
2. B.M. degree senior recitals (MUS 459)
will be one hour in duration at repertoire
Music l a
Level IV for Music Education majors and

I
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, m i n g 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 infants 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 one additional course, they are
eligible to apply for school nurse certification.

he Philosophy Department assists
students to understand issues raised in the
traditional areas of philosophy. To this end,
we consider problems of knowledge and
questions of truth, the nature of reality, the
basis of values and rules for correct
reasoning. Our goals are to instill in
students a love of truth, to inspire a
curiosity about the sigruficanceand
meaning of the world they experience, and
to develop the skills of critical analysis and
creative synthesis.
studies such as law, medicine or the
Christian ministry. Many enter the
marketplace, confident that the study of
philosophy has given them the ability to
think critically.
The liberal arts curriculum provides an
opportunity for students to explore
different aspects of the world from a
variety of perspectives or disciplines.
Philosophy plays a central role in the
liberal arts by encouraging students to
explore questions about themselves,
human experience, right and wrong, the
world and God. Beginning with two
Socratic principles: "The unexamined life is
not worth living" and "Know yourself," the
study of philosophy assists students in the
realization of their unique potential for
understanding and self-fulfillment.

PHI 110
Introduction to Philosophy
Philosophy raises some of the most basic questions that human beings can
ask about meaning, ideas, beauty and truth. The purpose of this course is
to provide the student with some experience in examining these concepts,
thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to evaluate
and construct a system of ideas and beliefs. (Fall, Spring)
PHI 120
Ethics
Ethics studies our moral beliefs, helping students to consider the bases
they use to make moral judgements. The course explores the major
philosophical approaches to evaluating moral actions, and then applies
them to contemporary personal and social moral issues. Throughout the
course Christian ethics will inform our considerations. Students taking
PHI 120 may not take PHI 125. (Fall, Spring)
PHI 125
Ethics and Human Identity
This course is a philosophical study of the role of human understanding,
feelings and action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. We begin by
asking what the end or purpose of human life is, assess the role of reason,
will and passion with respect to this end, and then decide on the moral
and intellectual virtues required to reach the end. The topic of friendship
and human love is investigated next. The course ends with an analysis of
human happiness. Students taking PHI 125 may not take PHI 120. (Fall,
Spring)
PHI 175
Philosophy of Love and Sex
We begin by studying some common conceptions and misconceptions
of romantic love and some philosophers' definitions of it. We then try
to decide what it is to be in love with someone, and how this differs
from just being friends or sexually desiring them. Finally, we consider
issues such as the ethics of sex, sexual attraction, marriage, adultery
and homosexuality.
PHI 230
Logic
Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn
the rules which govern valid arguments and develop their ability to
recognize and construct sound arguments. The last part of the course
focuses on inductive reasoning.
PHI 241
History of Philosophy I: The Classical Philosophers
The writings of Plato and Aristotle are the foundations of all philosophical
thought in Western civilization. In this course students read and analyze
some of the key works by Plato and Aristotle, as well as work in Stoicism,
Epicureanism and Neoplatonism. (Fall)
PHI 242

These and other issues are dealt with in a study of the major representatives of linguistic analysis, pragmatism, existentialism, phenomenology
and post-modernism. (Suggested prior courses: PHI 241,242, and 343)
PHI 350
Philosophy of Religion
What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and if so,
what can be said about God? Can we reconcile the goodness of God with
human and animal suffering? We will conduct a systematic inquiry into
these questions which form the basis of Western religious beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy. Cross-listed with Religion Department. Offered annually)

P
hysicists are not only curious about
the woild, but ambitious as well. Their aim
is to understand the fundamental principles 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 reaIizing 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 PreEngineering program with degree programs available 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, internship 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 degree of comprehension.

F
irmly 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
and 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,
economics, history and sociology to the
study of politics.
Providing work in several sub-fields of
political science, the major supplies the
breadth appropriate for graduate work in
the discipline, as well as in public administration, public policy analysis, law and
other professions. It also serves as a
foundation on which to develop careers in
public service, business, communications
and other fields. Legislative and other
Internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy
reach of ~ u ~ s b uPolitical

Science
students in the Twin Cities area. Combined
with broad, balanced and flexible course
offerings, these special opportunities
enhance the student's potential for graduate 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 committed 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.

IJSYCHOLOCY DEPARTMENT - PSY
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
ability 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.
Cooperative Education and 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, 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 govenunent, as well as in
careers such as research, law and medicine.

!O
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.
The student encounters this religious
tradition in studying these and other areas.
The study of religion and theology is
intended to make such encounters more
meaningful by a better knowledge of
biblical history and that of the Christian
church and by a larger acquaintance with
theological thought.
While it is true that 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 theologically 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. Students who wish to
work in the church as a parish or youth
worker or as a director of Christian
Education may find a major in Religion
appropriate for that purpose.

S
ociology is the study of society as a
whole and i f 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, leam to create and use
sociological tools of analysis, and leam
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 intemships, 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 personnel
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.
The Department of Sociology welcomes
students who, in their quest for a liberal
education as a foundation for work and
life, are looking for new and different ways
of understanding- the often taken-forgranted aspects of our world.

Since communication careers demand
a broad educational background, the
Department strongly encourages a second
major or two minors in fields such as
business, economics, English, history,
international relations, political science,
psychology, religion, 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
laboratory for experiencing, experimenting
and integrating knowledge from many
disciplines. Theatre enables students to
seek, confront and experience authentic life
in its mystery, ambiguity and beauty. 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.
Currently we offer a solid base in
classical, modem and contemporary
theatre and we are exploring ways of
incorporating non-Western and nontraditional theatre to support our commitment to the multicultural experience.
Augsburg is an ideal place to study
theatre as it is located in one of the major
theatre centers in the United States.
Augsburg students expand their knowledge of theatre not only by attending,
but by working with numerous local
theatre artists and professional theatre
companies. Our theatre faculty, currim-
