Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College
Purpose
Augsb~~rg
Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults
who desire college experience but who worlc or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which Inen and women may earn a
bachelor's degree, gain slulls for professio~laladvancement, prepare for career
change, or pursue a persolla1 interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts.
The Adult as a Student
The Augsburg Weelce~ldCollege program is designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumpill be
tion that the Inen and women who enroll in Weekend College w
mature, self-dsciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a
balance of classroom experience and i~ldividualizedstudy. Each course is
therefore divided into periods of co~lce~ltrated
on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
T o accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weelce~ldsfor three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.* Each class selected
by the student involves commitme~ltto one of these four class periods.
Weeltend College students may talce from one to four different courses
by attendng class every other weekend.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of A ~ ~ g s b uWeelce~ld
rg
College is participation in a
com~nu~lity
of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportu~ityand
e~lcourageme~lt
to become i~lvolvedin i~lteractio~l
both in and out of the
classroom. This community d l be enriched by the presence of both
men and women with a variety ofwork and life experiences.
T o facilitate this kind of commiulity interaction, Ailgsburg encourages
Weelrend College students to make use of college facilities such as the
library and Christensen Center, to talce the opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee brealcs, to participate in optional lu~lchtime seminars,
and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events.
*Laboratovy sections or additional class hours may be scheduled duY-in~the week.
Characteristics of the Educational Program
Educational Mission

freedom in the search for knowledge. Our academic program builds on a
liberal arts foundation to help students understand the past, interpret the
present, and plan for the hture.
As in the weekday program, Augsburg Weekend College offers students
a unique combination of the liberal arts disciplines and professional
education. Our goals are to help students develop the intellectual skills

than seven Augsburg course equivalents) entering in 1991-'92 and
Freshman and Sophomore students (transferring less than 15 Augsburg
course eq~livalents)entering in 1992-'93 will complete the following
skills and liberal arts perspectives along with their approved major
program.
The Augsburg Curriculum
Rationale for the Augsburg Curriculum Components:
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 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 L~ttheranChurch, 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
embodied 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 fiom our Western heritage,
students need to learn 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 this Perspective on Inter-Cultural Awareness. Finally, the
College has a concern for values. 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. Attention is paid to
aesthetic values in the Perspective on Aesthetic Values.
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. Entry-level skill requirements in a number of critical
areas; including reading, writing, quantitative reasoning 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 proposed 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 fiom 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 ofwhat it
is to be human and Christian in an urban setting.
Skills Component:
A. En* Level Skills.All students who are entering Augsburg classified as
Freshman (fewer than seven college credit courses) are required to take
inventory assessments in the skills of reading, writing, quantitative reasoning (along with Math Placement) critical thinking, and word processing.
Placement in writing courses and math courses is determined by these
inventories. Students with demonstrated deficiencies in critical thinking
will be enrolled in a critical thinking course, students with demonstrated
deficiencies in reading, quantitative reasoning, or word processing will be
given advice on how to prepare for retaking the respective tests. Students
are required to have taken the assessments before registering for the
second trimester and to have demonstrated removal of deficiencies by the
end of their first year (three trimesters) at Augsburg.
All entering students; whatever their classification, who have already
received college credit for a course which has been accepted as the
equivalent of Effective Writing are considered to have already completed the inventory assessment in writing. Students with a transfer
mathematics course accepted for college credit by Augsburg College are
exempted fiom the quantitative reasoning inventory and will be given
information about taking the Math Placement test based upon previous
college mathematics courses.
Entering Freshman or Sophomore transfer students with demonstrated
word processing skulls; e.g. recent verifiable work experience, are exempt
from the word processing i~lventory.Entering Freshman or Sophomore
students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are
exempt fiom the critical thinltiilg inventory.
Entering Junior and Senior transfer students are exempt from word
processing, reading, and critical thulking assessments.
13. Graduation Level Skills. Ge~leralEd~~cation
includes e~lhancementof
certain slds during the years in college. Skills related to writing, critical
thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning are deliberate componellts of
certain co~mes.Completion of the requisite courses with a mnhim~ungrade of
2.0 or Pis required for grad~lation.Sh~dentsare required to have two courses
with writing comnpone~~ts
and one course each with critical thi~ddng,spealhg
and quantitative reasonu~gcomponents. These courses can simultaneo~sly
satisfjr slcill requirements and graduation req~ureme~lts
for the major or general
education perspectives. Two comes in Lifetime Sports are also required.
Liberal Arts Perspectives:
The General Education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal
of providing the basis for begi~lni~lg
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.
Students will choose courses from a list of courses meeting the Liberal
Arts Perspectives. These choices are controlled by the following policies:
A student will choose one course from each category.
No single course can fi~lfllthe requireme~ltsin two or more categories.
No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from
the same department in meeting perspective requirements.
No student may count more than one course from the same department in meeting the requirements of any single perspective except:
1.Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective, "The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The
Christian Faith."
2. Up to two courses in a year-long sequence may be used to meet
the perspective, "The Natural World."
3. Up to two courses of the same foreign language may be used to
meet part of the perspective, "Intercultural Awareness."
The followi~lgsummary of the Perspectives will suggest their general
goals and breadth. A description of the Liberal Arts Perspectives appears
in the more detailed Augsburg College Catalog.
A. l%e Character and Mission of Aujsburj Colleg-e: The Christian Faith.
This Perspective focuses on A~~gsburg
as a College of the ELCA.
Augsburg accepts as its basis for its educatio~lalprogram 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. Three courses are required to meet
this Perspective.
B. The Character and Mission of Augsburg Collge: The City. 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 which this environment presents.
Students should experience the community and shodd explore opportunities for service in the community. Internships, cooperative education,
field placements and other approved experiences, as well as courses which
focus upon the metropolitan area are used to meet this perspective. One
course or approved experience is req~dred.
C. WesternHevitage:This perspective is intended to help students critically
examine ideas and themes (found in, for example, literature, philosophy and
the arts) and events that historically have shaped Western civilization.Attention is paid to the contributions to or critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.Two comes are required to meet this perspective.
D. Human Identity: This perspective is intended to help students view
themselves as persons; men and women with unique abilities, values,
beliefs, experiences, and behaviors. One course is required to meet this
perspective.
E. Aesthetics:Aesthetic creations convey hndamental insights and values,
express beauty, and enhance life: This perspective focuses on aesthetic
qualities ul artistic expressions by oneself and others. One course is required.
F . The Social World:This perspective is intended to help students learn
to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems:
to understand how and why such systems develop, to see the connections among these systems, and to use this laowledge as a participant in
society. Two courses are required for this perspective.
G. Intercultural Awareness: This perspective is intended to complement
the Western Heritage perspective by expanding students' awareness of
other cultures. One course is required in which students critically reflect
upon ways their own cultural biases operate when confronting other
cultures. They should become better able to communicate with persons
of other cultural baclcgrounds 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 leanling to speak
and read a language other than their native language. For thispart of the perspective, students are required to have demonstrated proficiency in a foreign
language. The foreign language requirement wdl be based upon placement:

H . 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. Two courses, one of which is a
laboratory course, are required.

variety of contexts and to improve communicatio~lskills. All communication
majors must complete a core group of eight required courses, supplemented
by five electives in one of the following concentrations: public relations and
advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or supervisory

courses in Physical Education: 353,475,482, and 489. Individuals must hold
a valid Minnesota Teaching License to qualify for the coaching endorsement.
Prerequisite: BIO 103: Human Anatomy and Physiology
English
Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas
and images helps us understand who we are and who we can become.
Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through English study we see
life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better
the world in which we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is
concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the
contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is
concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is
interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and language. With
science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communications, English studies the effective use of
language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English
studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in
different cultures.
Major: Nine courses above 111,including 225 and 245; one upper division
course in American literature; one course in Western literary tradition (271
or 272); and three courses in British literature, one on literature before 1660
(for example, 331 or 438) and one that surveys a number ofwriters (336,
337,423). Majors are encouraged to consult their departmental adviser
regularly. A student with a double major or special program that i~lvolves
considerable work in the English department should also work closely with
an adviser in the department.
Note on Prerequisites:ENG 111 is strongly recommended but not a
prerequisite for a Lower Division literature course. Prerequisite for an Upper
Division course is successhl completion ENG 245 or consent of the instructor.
Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English
courses at Augsburg.
English-LanguageArts Teaching Major: Ten courses, including those
listed under the major, a course in the English language, and an internship in
the teaching of writing. One course must include a component in nonWestern literature. In addition, the ACTC courses Communications Skills in
the English Classroom and Teaching Mass Media are required. Courses in
early American literature, Shakespeare, and film are recommended. Several of
the required courses, including the internship, are not offered on weekends.
Students in this program must work with advisers in the English Department
and the Education Department in order to meet the professional requirements
within the Education Department as well as requirements in the major.
Students in this program who are transferring from other colleges should
consult the English Department chair soon after enrolling.

Psychology
Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides
a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of 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.
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 and computer applications. All psychology
majors MUST have an adviser in the Psychology Department. The following courses in the Psychology core will be offered when a sufficient number
of students are ready for that portion of their program: PSY 264,265,381,
493. This may delay an individual student's ability to complete the major in
the Weekend schedule. Required courses will be available regularly in the
Weekday schedule.

Minor
Five courses including PSY 105, with a minimum of two courses at Augsburg. Not more than one course from PSY 299,399 and 499 may be
counted toward the minor.
Religion
Augsburg College uriderstands 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 Western world to a degree much
greater than is sometimes recognized.
The student encounters this influence in studying language, literature,
history, values and political structures. The study of religion and theology is
intended to malce such encounters more meaningfi~lthrough a better
knowledge of biblical history and that of the Christian church, and by a
larger acquaintance with theological thought. Large segrnents of the earth's
population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different from
those prominent in the West. The Department of Religion also seeks to
introduce students to some of these major religious traditions.

prerequisite to all other courses. Department approval is necessary before
courses taken at other colleges can be accepted for Religion Department
and/or general education course credit. Completion of this major may require
enrollment in one or more courses offered in an evening schedule.
Social Work
Accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, the Bachelor of Science
in Social Work degree program at Augsburg College is built on a solid liberal
arts foundation, on theory-based training, and on professio~lallydirected field
experiences. As important, social work education at Augsburg is built on an
appreciation for the needs, concerns, and values of the individuals and groups
who constitute today's multi-cultural society. The Social Work major in
Augsburg Weekend College includes seven courses from the Departments of
Psychology, Biology, and Sociology. Concentrations are possible in the areas
of aging, chemical dependency, corrections, social ministries, and youth work.
Field work is an important component of the program.

grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of
two fill1 courses, or equivalent, graded on the traditional grading system,
with n o incompletes in courses offered for credit.
Academic Progress, Probation and Disnlissal
The College rccluires that students maintain the following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman - a student who has talren fcwer than 7 courses
cu~uulativcG1'A of 1.6 or liighcr
Sophomore - a studelit who has talren fcwer than 16 courses
cumulative Gl'A of 1.7 or higher
Junior a student who has talrcn fewer than 25 courses
cu~nulativcGl'A of 1.9 or liigher
Senior a student who has talten 25 or more courses
cunlulati\/c Gl'A of 2.0 or liighcr.
It should be noted that a ~ i i i n i ~ n uGl'A
~ n of 2.0 is requircd for graduation
with certain majors rccluiring a higlicr mini~n~uii
GPA.
Students whose acadc~nicacllieve~iientfdls below these guidelines will either
be placed 011scholastic probation at the end of the term, or will be continued on probation, or will be dis~iiisscdfro111 the College. In addition, a
freshman who receives two zero grades or a sopho~norewho receives three
zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal fi-0111the 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 acadc~nicrecord may be
strongly adviscd to withdraw before the end of a term. Those on probation
who voluntarily withdraw fi.0111the College, as well as those who are
dismissed, IIILIS~have special permission to re-enroll.
Stude~ltsnay be removed fi.om probation when the cu~nulativeGPA
reaches the minimu~nlcvcls stated above. Students placed on probation as
fieshmcn h r Ila\~ingcarned two zero grades may be removed from probation if tlieir classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earlied
additio~ialzero grades, and if their cu~nulativeGPA reaches 1.7. Students
placed on probation as sopho~noresfor having carned three zero grades Inay
be removed from probation if tlleir classification changes to junior and their
cumulative Gl'A 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 slle may appeal
the decision within 10 days to the Cornmittce on Student Standing.
Attendance Policy
It is expected that students attend every class. If a student knows she/he
will miss more than one class meeting, she/he should not register for
the course. Some faculty/courses require 100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing grade.
Most Weekend College classes meet seven times during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses meet for the entire period on Finals Class
Weekend. Classes marked with an asterisk (*) on the Class Schedule require
additional class meetings, the dates and times ofwhich are either listed on the
course syllabus or determined by the class at the first meeting. Depending on
the course, these additional meetings are either required or optional.
Department Course Limits
Augsburg College's graduation requirements allow a maximum of 13
courses from each department except in certain approved majors (Social
Work, Nursing). Business Administration, Economics and Management
Information Systems are considered different departments for graduation
requirement purposes.
Grading Procedures
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations.
Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation are
also 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. Students are
cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care since some graduate and
professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P graded
courses, or rank each as a "C". Transfer students are cautioned that P graded
courses do not count in the requirement that 14 traditionally graded
courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation
with distinction. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements
in the Augsburg College Catalog.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 is
graded only on the P / N grading system and some education courses are
graded only on the P/N system or only on the traditional system. English
111 is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are graded only P,
1.0, N. Lifetime Sports are graded P/O.O.
I11 courses where this 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 the dates published each term. A fee is charged for any
changes made after registration.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
Achieves highest standards of excellence.
4.0
3.5
Achieves above basic course standards.
3.0
2.5
Meets basic standards for the course.
2.0
1.5
Performance below basic course standards.
1.0
0.5
Unacceptable perfbrmance (no credit for the course).
0.0
Grade of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point
average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents
work at the 1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of 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
fiom the instructor; and must file the form with the Office of the Registrar.
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. Withdrawal from college, or
dropping these continued courses will terminate their registration. Under
this circumstance, a registration as 1X by the student would be necessary if
done during registration periods within one year of initial registration; if
done after one year a new registration would be necessary.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V).The charge for auditing a course is listed under Fees and
Payment Schedule in the insert. Studentswho audit a come should confer with
the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. 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 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.
Cla~s~cation
Students are classified in August and at the end of fall and winter terms as
follows:
Sophomores - 7 courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors - 16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors - 25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Withdrawal fiom College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered, since
this results in a &ling grade on the official record. Cancellation of comes or
withdrawal h m college must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from
college cannot occur during h a l examinationweekend unless a petition is
approved by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from college and
resulting adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the completed
Withdrawal From College form is returned to the Registrar's Office.
Graduation with Distinction
I
I
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 qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have
completed two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg.
Assessment of Previous Leariing (APL)
A~~gsburg
College recognizes that learning can and does talte place in Inally
life situations. Some o f this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition
within the discipli~lesthat compose the academic programs o f a liberal arts
college. The A1'L program (Assessment o f Previous Learning) at Augsburg
provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that
which is uansferred from anotl~eraccredited institution, may be presented for
exa~ni~latio~l
for possible credit toward the completion o f a bachelor's degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recog~litio~l
at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential
criteria: ( 1 )it is relevant to coursework in a field o f study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and ( 2 )it call 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:
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Students who achieve acceptable scorcs in CLEP exams may receive
academic credit at Augsburg College. CLE1' exams are available in a
variety o f general and specific subject areas. For morc information,
contact Weeltend College Admissio~ls(330.1792) or the regional CLEP
center at the Uni\lersity o f Minnesota (624-3323).
Departmental Assessment
Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and do
11othave transcript evidence o f completed work may request a departme~ltal
assessment o f previous learning. This will most often include an examination
that covers the essential components o f the course involved. For more
information, contact the Registrar's Office(330-1036).
CAP (Credit Assessment Process)
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluatioll o f a learning portfolio submitted by the student.
Informal meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to
prepare a portfolio o f previous learning for credit assessmcnt. Students may
apply for CAP after co~npleti~lg
at least four courses o f academic work at
Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA o f at least 2.5. For Inore information, contact the Registrar's Office(330.1036).

CHARACTERISTICS
0.F- T H E
EDUCATIONAL
or over a century,
Augsburg College has
emphasized intellectual
freedom in the search for
knowledge. Augsburg's academic program builds on a
liberal arts foundation to help
students understand the past,
interpret the present, and plan
for the future.
F
As in the weekday program,
Augsburg Weekend College
ofSers students a unique
combination of the liberal arts
disciplines and professional
education. Our goals are to
help students develop the
intellectual skills and attitudes
to be lifelong learners,
increase their competence in
selected areas of professional
work, and accomplish a higher
level of personal growth.
HISTORY
OF
WEEKEND
COLLEGE
In Fall of 1982 Augsburg
began Weekend College
under the directorship of
Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time
Weekend College had three
majors, 69 students, and
offered eight courses in the
first term.
Today with more than 1,100
students and 12 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College
is the largest program of its
kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time
Augsburg professors as well
as adjunct professionals from
the work world. The Weekend
College student body has
become involved in student
government, and Weekend
College students participate in
academic and extracurricular
activities such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars,
the Weekend College Student
Union and the Weekend
College Advisory Network
(WECAN).
Augsburg Weekend College
continues to grow and develop
to meet the changing needs of
the adult and nontraditional
student of today.
PURPOSE
Augsburg Weekend College
provides an educational alternative to adults who desire
college experience but who
work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and
women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for
professional advancement,
prepare for career change, or
pursue a personal interest in
one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
MISSION
OF THE
COLLEGE
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 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.
THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF
LEARNERS
Augsburg Weekend College is
designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult
learners. The program is based
on the assumption that the
men and women who enroll in
Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined and
well-motivated adult learners
who seek a balance of classroom experience and
individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided
into periods of concentrated
on-campus study separated by
time for independent study
and class preparation.
Essential to the goals of
Augsburg's Weekend College is
participation in a community of
adult learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is
involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become
involved in interaction both in
and out of the classroom. This
community will be enriched by

History
Augsburg College was
founded in 1869 in Marshall,
Wisconsin, and moved to
Minneapolis in 1872. The
name Augsburg College and
Seminary changed in 1963
when the Lutheran Free
Church merged with The
American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks
from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate
Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent
to the campus are the Riverside
Medical Center, the West Bank
campus of the University of
Minnesota and the Mississippi
River parkways.
Campus
Augsburg's campus consists
of 15 major buildings which
include student housing
towers, the College Center,
main academic and administrative halls, the Library,
Music Hall and the Foss
Center for Worship, Drama
and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort
to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the
region. Our skyway-tunnel
system lets you reach any of 10
major buildings without going
outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a student-run
program to increase awareness
and provide extra help for
students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Although a strong
plurality of students are Lutheran,
18 percent represent other
Protestant denominations and
2 1 percent represent the Roman
Catholic Church. Several other
affiliations are represented
among students and faculty.

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.

A
ugsburg College
constructs its
curriculum upon the
premise that students must be
educated as fully human
persons - intellectually, spiritually and physically. To act
effectively, human beings must
have a broad grasp of the
world from which they have
come as well as the world in
which they live. By providing
courses in the humanities,
natural sciences and social
sciences, the liberal arts
perspectives introduce students
to the breadth and complexity
of knowledge and culture.
Required courses in religion
are designed to acquaint
students with the Christian
tradition and encourage them
to reflect upon the importance
and meaning of spirituality in
their lives. Recreation courses
offer students the opportunity
to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting
activities.
Students are encouraged to
consult frequently with their
advisers to ensure that all
requirements are met for
graduation. A comprehensive
explanation for the General
Education Curriculum may be
found in the Augsburg College
general catalog.

POLICIES
AND
PROCEDURES
REGISTRATION
Registration consists of two
parts:
Scheduling (choosing
classes) - A student
reserves a space in classes
for each trimester by
completing a schedule form.
Scheduling can be done in
advance of payment.
Payment (confirmation of
schedule) - A student who
has scheduled courses must
then confirm that schedule
by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and
payment are listed in detail
in the Weekend College
catalog supplement.
SOME IMPORTANT
ON
POINTS
REGISTRATION:
A student must be registered
for a course in order to
receive course credit for it.
A student in Weekend
College is considered fulltime if they register for two
courses per trimester (or 2.5
if receiving a Minnesota
State Student Grant).
Students are responsible for
obtaining registration materials from the Weekend
College Office.
A student who has not paid
or made partial payment
prior to the first day of
classes is not registered for
their course(s). The student
may register and confirm the
first class weekend, but late
fees will apply and their
space in the course(s) will
not be held.
CROSSOVER
POLICY
It is expected that Weekend
College students complete
their degree requirements in
the Weekend College
schedule; however, students
may take a course in the day
schedule as a crossover. A
Weekend College student
wishing to attend a day
schedule course, or a day
student wishing to attend a
course in Weekend College,
must schedule at the Office of
the Registrar. Students taking
courses in both the day
program and Weekend
College program schedules
which total three or more
courses on any given date will
be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend
College student taking one day
schedule course and who has
fewer than three total courses
will be charged the current
part-time tuition for day
school.
Students will also follow these
guidelines:
Students may cross over for
one full courselcredit per
term.
The course selected must
have space availability.
Weekend College students
may not cross over to attend
ACTC (Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities) courses,
except when required by the
major to do so.
Courses cross-listed in the
Weekend College schedule
and the day schedule are not
subject to cross over policy.
Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information
on the crossover policy.
WITHDRAWING
FROM
COURSES
Students may drop (also
referred to as canceling or
withdrawing) a particular
course by completing a
CancelIAddlChange of
Registration form at the Office
of the Registrar before the
deadline (published in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement). Dropping a class
will result in a "W" for withdrawal on an official academic
record. Students are urged not
to abandon courses for which
they are registered because
this may result in a failing
grade on their official academic record. The refund
schedule is listed on page 14.
Note: A student may withdraw
after the refund schedule has
expired.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM
COLLEGE
Students who do not intend to
continue at Augsburg must file
a Withdrawal from College
form at the Office of the
Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a
term off; however, Weekend
College students who do not
attend courses for three
consecutive trimesters
(excluding summer) are
considered inactive and must
file an Application for
Re-admission form with the
Office of the Registrar in
order to resume their academic
program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of
the Registrar informed of their
mailing address.
SYLLABUS
A syllabus is a course outline
written by the instructor which
may include a course description
and objectives, required text@),
course schedule, grading criteria
and assignments. A syllabus is
especially important in Weekend
College because it advises the
student of any assignment due
the first class weekend. Students
are responsible for picking up
the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATIONAND
C RADI NG
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. Students who choose the
PIN 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 PIN limitations under
Graduation Requirements on
page 28.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded PIN only).
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 PIN 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 made after the
first five days of classes.
NUMBER
GRADES
Number grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.0 Meets basic standards for
the course
1.0 Performance below basic
course standards
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.
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; 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 trimester. 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 has
the option 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 credit 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.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
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).
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE ACADEMIC
PROGRESS,
PROBATION
AND
The grade point average
(GPA) is based on final grades
DISMISSAL
for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and
grade points for work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the PIN
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 credits
taken.*
* Using traditionally graded
course credits only.
CLASSIFICATION
Students are classified in
August and at the end of the
Fall Trimester.
Sophomores - Seven credits
completed.
Juniors - 16 credits completed.
Seniors - 24 credits completed.
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman - A student who
has taken fewer than seven
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore - A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior - A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior - A student who has
taken 24 or more credits 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, 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. 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 level 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 is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses
offered for credit. If 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 qualify for graduation with
distinction, transfer students
must have completed two
years (14 traditionally graded
credits) of work at Augsburg.
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 Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg
provides a means by which a
student's previous learning,
other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented
for examination for possible
credit toward the completion
of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and 2) it can
be objectively 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.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
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 passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of $485.00 for a full
course credit.
The Credit Assessment
Program (CAP)
This is a credit 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 a representative
from the Office of the
Registrar and two faculty
members from fields of study
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
learning experience that
involved prescribed andlor
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 the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
Upper Division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the departments
involved in response to a
formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted
for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College
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 (one-fourth of
a baccalaureate degree) on
transcript credit that is
obtained through previous
experiential learning. In
compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential
learning, the student may use
any combination of the three
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams
and credit granted through
CAP Committee assessment.
Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one or
both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime
Sports through the APL
process. The Lifetime Sports
graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is
earned by their completion;
however, fulfillment of two
Lifetime Sports is necessary to
graduate. There is a fee for
each Lifetime Sport completed
by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sport APL
is available from the Weekend
College Office.

COMMUNICATION
SPC
Our quality of life, both
personally and professionally,
depends in large part upon the
quality of our communication.
A Communication major at
Augsburg is designed to
enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of
contexts and to improve
communication skills.
Since careers in communication
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.
All Communication majors
must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one
of the following concentrations: public relations and
advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or
supervisory management.
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. Majors in
Communication are candidates
for the Bachelor of Arts degree.

in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies,
schools and community organizations; some are
self-employed running 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 their entire life span.
The Baccalaureate 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 decisionmaking that prepare nurses to
handle challenging new positions in today's health care
field.

PSYCHOLOGY
- PSY
Psychology, with its emphasis
on behavioral observation and
data, provides a perspective on
human activities which is an
integral part of 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.
Psychologists use a variety of
methods to study behavior,
including experimentation,
observation and clinical case
analysis. Faculty members
have varied professional
specializations 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
government, as well as in
careers such as research, law
and medicine.

RELIGION- REL
Augsburg 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
through 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.
Religion Major
Eight courses including:
REL 11 1
Introduction to Theology
REL 221
Biblical Studies
Other Requirements
Religion 11 1 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and
is to be taken in either the
freshman or sophomore year
at Augsburg. Exceptions may
be made for junior or senior
transfer students, but the basic
courses are still highly recommended as preparation for
Upper Division courses.
REL 481
Contemporary Theology
Department approval is necessary before courses taken at
other colleges can be accepted
for Religion Department
and/or general education
course credit.
REL 495
Seminar
All majors must consult with
the Department Chair.

practice in the field of human
services. The program is
accredited by the Council on
Social Work Education and
leads to a Bachelor of Science
degree. The program is based
on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates to
work with individuals, families, groups, communities and
to develop and analyze social
policy. Courses within the

It is expected that students
attend every class. If more
than one class meeting will be
missed, the student should not
register for the course. Some
faculty and courses require
100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing
grade. Most Weekend College
classes meet seven times
during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses
meet for the entire period on
Finals Class Weekend.
Classes marked with an
asterisk (*) on the Class
Schedule require or recommend that students attend
additional class meetings, the
dates and times of which are
either listed on the course
syllabus or determined by the
class at the first meeting.
CLASS
SCHEDULE
There are three trimesters in
Weekend College - Fall,
Winter and Spring. A calendar
of class weekends for each
trimester and a tentative
schedule of courses offered
can be found in the Weekend
College Supplement. Many
courses are offered at least
once a year; however, 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. Descriptions and schedules for courses offered in the
day schedule, January Interim,
Summer School, the Master of
Arts in Leadership, Master of
Arts in Leadership-Education
and the Master of Social
Work programs are published
in separate publications.
PREREQUISITES
A prerequisite is a course or a
specific skill level, e.g. Math
Placement Level, which must
be completed before the
student enrolls in a higherlevel course. Prerequisites are
listed in the course description. A student may only
enroll in a course when a
prerequisite has not been
fulfilled if there is prior
approval by the professor
teaching the course and the
academic adviser.
NUMBERING
Courses numbered below 300
are Lower Division courses.
Courses numbered 300 and
above are classified as Upper
Division.

HISTORY
OF
WEEKEND
COLLEGE
In fall of 1982 Augsburg
began Weekend College
under the directorship of
Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time
Weekend College had three
majors, 69 students, and
offered eight courses in the
first term.
Today with more than 1,000
students and 13 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College
is the largest program of its
kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time
Augsburg professors as well
as adjunct professionals from
the work world. The Weekend
College student body is
involved in student government, and Weekend College
students participate in academic and extracurricular
activities such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars,
and the Weekend College
Commission.
Augsburg Weekend College
continues to develop to meet
the changing needs of the adult
and nontraditional student of
today.
PURPOSE
Augsburg Weekend College
provides an educational alternative to adults who desire
college experience but who
work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and
women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for
professional advancement,
prepare for career change, or
pursue a personal interest in
one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
MISSION
OF THE
COLLEGE
Students who graduate from
Augsburg are well prepared to
make a difference in the
world. They stand as testaments to the College motto,
"Education for Service," and
to the Mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders of
sewice in the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities which are
based in the liberal arts and
shaped by the faith and values
of the Christian Church, by
the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus
community.
THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF
LEARNERS
Augsburg Weekend College is
designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult
learners. The program is based
on the assumption that the
men and women who enroll in
Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined and
well-motivated adult learners
who seek a balance of classroom experience and
individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided
into periods of concentrated
on-campus study separated by
time for independent study
and class preparation.
To accommodate this format
for learning, classes generally
meet on alternate weekends
for three and one-half hours
on either Friday evening,
Saturday morning, Saturday
afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by
the student involves commitment to one of these four class
periods. Laboratory sections or
additional class hours may be
scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students
may take from one to four
courses each term.
Essential to the goals of
Augsburg's Weekend College is
participation in a community of
adult learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is
active in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement for involvement
both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of
both men and women with a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction,
Augsburg encourages Weekend
College students to make use of
college facilities such as the
library and the Christensen
Center, to take the opportunity
of having shared 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.
FACULTY
The heart of any educational
institution is its faculty and
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence
and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the
doctorate or other terminal
degree and all consider their
teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in
social, professional and a variety
of research activities, but see
these activities as supporting
their teaching. They are actively
involved in an exciting faculty
development program which
introduces them to current
thought in many fields but
especially in teaching techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small
classes encourage its tradition
of close involvement between
professors and students.
Faculty act as academic
advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
History
Augsburg College and
Seminary was founded in
1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in
1872. In 1963, the name officially became Augsburg
College when the Seminary
left campus as part of the
Lutheran Free Church merger
with the American Lutheran
Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks
from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate
Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent
to the campus are the Riverside
E d u c a t i o n a l
P r o g r a m L 4
Medical Center, the West Bank
campus of the University of
Minnesota and the Mississippi
River parkways.
Campus
Augsburg's campus consists
of 15 major buildings which
include student housing
towers, the College Center,
main academic and administrative halls, the Library,
Music Hall and the Foss
Center for Worship, Drama
and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort
to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the
region. Our skyway-tunnel
system lets you reach any of 10
major buildings without going
outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a student-run
program to increase awareness
and provide extra help for
students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Although a strong
plurality of students are Lutheran,
20 percent represent other
Protestant denominations and
21 percent represent the Roman
Catholic Church. Several other
affiliations are represented
among students and faculty.
POLICIES
It is the policy of Augsburg
College not to discriminate on
the basis of race, color, creed,
religion, sexual or affectional
preference, national or ethnic
origin, age, marital status, sex
or status with regard to public
assistance or disability, as

1972 Educational Amendments
or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
in its admissions policies,
education programs, activities

Transfer Credit
Augsburg College welcomes
students who wish to transfer
after completing work at other
accredited colleges or universities. College credit is granted
for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at
accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not
to grant credit for courses
where it considers the work
unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at
unaccredited institutions and
to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits
transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student
has reached junior status. If all
transfer work has been taken
at a two-year college, a
maximum of 17 Augsburg
courses, or 96 quarter credits,
will be accepted toward the
minimum of 33 Augsburg
course credits required for the
baccalaureate degree.
Transfer Credit Evaluations
An evaluation of transfer
credit is completed by the
Registrar upon admission for
each degree-seeking student
who is transferring previous
college work. This evaluation
indicates which of the
student's courses have been
accepted for transfer credit at
Augsburg College, and how
many course credits the
student has earned in transfer.
The Registrar also determines
which transfer courses may be
used to fulfill general education requirements, and may
request that the student
provide course descriptions,
syllabi or other information to
assist in this determination.
For an evaluation of transfer
courses toward major, minor
or licensure requirements, the
student should consult the
appropriate department chair.
Augsburg graduates and
students who have not
attended Weekend College for
more than one academic year
(three trimesters) must apply
for readmission through the
Registrar's Office. Students
who have attended any other
institution(s) during their
absence from Augsburg must

(or 2.5 if receiving a
Minnesota State Student
Grant).
REGISTRATION
Registration consists of two
parts:
Scheduling (choosing
classes) - A student
reserves a space in classes
for each trimester by
completing a schedule form.
Scheduling can be done in
advance of payment.
Payment (confirmation 01
schedule) - A student who
has scheduled courses must
then confirm that schedule
by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and
payment are listed in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement.
SOME IMPORTANT
POINTS ON
REGISTRATION:
A student must be registered
for a course in order to
receive course credit for it.
A student in Weekend
College is considered fulltime if he or she registers
for two courses per trimester
Students are responsible for
obtaining registration materials from the Weekend
College Office.
A student who has not paid
or made partial payment
prior to the first day of
classes is not registered for
their course(s). The student
may register and confirm the
first class weekend, but late
fees will apply and their
space in the course(s) will
not be held.
CROSSOVERPOLICY
It is expected that Weekend
College students complete
their degree requirements in
the Weekend College
schedule; however, students
may take a course in the day
schedule as a crossover. A
Weekend College student
wishing to attend a day
schedule course, or a day
student wishing to attend a
course in Weekend College,
must schedule at the Office of
the Registrar. Students taking
courses in both the day
program and Weekend
College program schedules
which total three or more
courses on any given date will
be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend
College student taking one day
schedule course and who has
fewer than three total courses
will be charged the current
part-time tuition for day
school.
Students will also follow these
guidelines:
Students may cross over for
one full course credit per
term.
The course selected must
have space available.
Weekend College students
may not cross over to attend
ACTC (Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities) courses,
except when required by the
major to do so.
Courses cross-listed in the
Weekend College schedule
and the day schedule are not
subject to cross over policy.
Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information
on the crossover policy.
WITHDRAWING
FROM
COURSES
Students may drop (also
referred to as canceling or
withdrawing) a particular
course by completing a
Cancel/Add/Change of
Registration form at the Office
of the Registrar before the
deadline (published in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement). Dropping a class
will result in a " W for withdrawal on an official academic
record. Students are urged not
to abandon courses for which
they are registered because this
may result in a failing grade on
their official academic record.
The refund schedule is listed
on page 14. Note: A student
may withdraw after the refund
schedule has expired.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM
COLLEGE
Students who do not intend to
continue at Augsburg must file
a Withdrawal from College
form at the Office of the
Registrar. This is not necessary
if the student is taking a term
off; however, Weekend
College students who do not
attend courses for three
consecutive trimesters
(excluding summer) are
considered inactive and must
file an Application for
Re-admission form with the
Office of the Registrar in order
to resume their academic
program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of
the Registrar informed of their
mailing address.
SYLLABUS
A syllabus is a course outline
written by the instructor which
may include a course description
and objectives, required text(s),
course schedule, grading criteria
and assignments. A syllabus is
especially important in Weekend
College because it advises the
student of any assignment due
the first class weekend. Students
are responsible for picking up
the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATIONAND
GRADING
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 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. 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 on
page 28.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded P/N only).
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 made after the
published deadline for dropping without record notation.
I n f o r m a t i o n .
NUMERIC
GRADES
Numeric grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards
for the course
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.
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, and
must file a form with the
Registrar's Office 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.
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 trimester. If the
work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course
becomes a 0.0.
Internships, Indepzndent
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 has
the option 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 credit 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.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
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).
Courses for which transfer
credit has been awarded may
not be repeated for credit at
Augsburg. This includes
courses which are substantially similar despite different
titles or emphases.
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE
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 course
credits attempted."
* Using traditionally graded
course credits only.
CLASSIFICATION
Student classifications are
updated in August and at the
end of the Fall Trimester.
Sophomores - Seven course
credits completed.
Juniors - 16 course credits
completed.
Seniors -24 course credits
completed.
ACADEMIC
PROGRESS,
~ROBAT~O
AND
N
DISMISSAL
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman - A student who
has taken fewer than seven
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.6 or higher
Sophomore - A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior - A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior - A student who has
taken 24 or more credits 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, 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. 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 level 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 is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses
offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an
announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean's List.
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 Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg
provides a means by which a
student's previous learning,
other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented
for examination for possible
credit toward the completion
of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and 2) it can
be objectively 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.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
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 passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of one-half of tuition
for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program
This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty
team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of
two faculty members from
fields of study directly related
to the student's previous
learning. Students who wish to
prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment
should consult the Office of
the Registrar. In completing
the evaluation of a student's
previous learning, the faculty
team applies the following
criteria:
There is documentable
evidence of a cognitive
component in the previous
learning experience that
involved prescribed and/or
systematic study of content
material found within liberal
arts course work.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals
in addition to the presenting
student.
The learning lends itself to
both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to
the student's educational
goals.
The learning and skills
involved are current and
could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the
credit assessment process after
completing at least four course
credits 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
APL 2xx. Application of this
credit toward the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
Upper Division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the Associate
Academic Dean 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 course credits (about
one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) on transcript credit
that is obtained through
previous experiential learning.
In compiling the eight courses
of credit for previous experiential learning, the student
may use any combination of
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams
and credit granted through
portfolio assessment.
Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one or
both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime
Sports through the APL
process. The Lifetime Sports
graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is
earned by their completion;
however, fulfillment of two
Lifetime Sports is necessary to
graduate. There is a fee for
each Lifetime Sport completed
by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sports
APL is available from the
Weekend College Office.
ACCOUNTING
- ACC
The major in accounting
prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related
positions. This major has two
tracks: General Accounting
and Professional Accounting.
The General Accounting
specialization is adequate for a
wide variety of positions. The
Professional Accounting track
includes two specializations:
public accounting and
managerial accounting. The
public accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with CPA firms. The
managerial accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations relate to two
professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A CPA
(Certified Public Accountant)
focuses on external reporting;
a CMA (Certified Management
Accountant) focuses on
internal reporting. The public
accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the
managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam.
Designations have an experience requirement in addition
to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the
Minnesota State Board of
Accountancy, Accounting
majors in the public accounting
specialization are qualified to
sit for the CPA examination
during their last semester.

ART, STUDIO
- ART
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 significant number of art
galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
Hundreds of specific careers
exist in the general area of art,
such as teaching in the public
schools and colleges,
ceramics, interior design,
photography, film and video
work, painting, gallery and
museum work and design.

COMMUNICATION
SPC
Our quality of life, both
personally and professionally,
depends in large part upon the
quality of our communication.
A Communication major at
Augsburg is designed to
enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of
contexts and to improve
communication skills.
Since careers in communication
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.
All Communication majors
must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one
of the following concentrations: public relations and
advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or
supervisory management.
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. Majors in
Communication are candidates
for the Bachelor of Arts degree.

ENGLISH - ENC
Those who study English believe
that an intense concern for words,
ideas and images helps people
understand who they are and who
they can become. Writing helps
us clarify and share our thoughts.
Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of
English we see life's complexity,
experience life as some others do,
and understand better the world in
which we live and work.
English relates closely to other
majors. With the other arts,
English is concerned with the
pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With
psychology and sociology, English
is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas and
the relation between meaning and
language. With science, English
is interested in discovering order
and determinjng structures. With
speech and communication,
English studies the effective use
of language. With history and the
other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at diffe~nt
times and in different d m .
Students with an English
major pursue careers in
elementary, secondary and
college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry,
library science, medicine,
advertising, public relations,
publishing, writing and other
professions and businesses.

NURSING
- NUR
The 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, running 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
their entire life span.
The Baccalaureate 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 decisionmaking 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.

PSYCHOLOGY
- PSY
Psychology, with its emphasis
on behavioral observation and
data, provides a perspective on
human activities which is an
integral part of 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.
Psychologists use a variety of
methods to study behavior,
including experimentation,
observation and clinical case
analysis. Faculty members
have varied professional
specializations 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,
government, as well as in
careers such as research, law
and medicine. Some courses
may need to be taken on an
evening schedule.
Psychology Major

RELIGION- REL
Augsburg 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
through a better knowledge of
biblical history and that of the
Christian Church, and by a
broader 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.
Religion Major
Eight courses including:
REL 111
Introduction to Theology
REL 221
Biblical Studies
REL 356

courses.
Note: Seminar, especially for
majors, should be taken in the
junior or senior year. Before
taking the seminar, each major
must have written one formal
research paper and placed it
on file with the Department
Chair.
Religion Minor
Five courses.
Other Requirements
Religion 111 or 221 is prerequisite to all other courses and
is to be taken in either the
freshman or sophomore year
at Augsburg. Exceptions may
be made for junior or senior
transfer students, but the basic
courses are still highly recommended as preparation for
Upper Division courses.
Department approval is necessary before courses taken at
other colleges can be accepted
for Religion Department
and/or general education
course credit.
All majors must consult with
the Department Chair.
Completion of this major may
require enrollment in one or
more courses offered in an
evening weekday schedule.

practice in the field of human
services. The program is
accredited by the Council on
Social Work Education and
leads to a Bachelor of Science
degree. The program is based
on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates to
work with individuals, families, groups, and communities,
and to develop and analyze
social policy. Courses within
the program utilize a student
empowerment model for

ATENDANCEPOLICY
It is expected that students
attend every class. If more
than one class meeting will be
missed, the student should not
register for the course. Some
faculty and courses require
100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing
grade. Most Weekend College
classes meet seven times
during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses
meet for the entire period on
Finals Class Weekend.
Classes marked with an
asterisk (*) on the Class
Schedule require or recommend that students attend
additional class meetings, the
dates and times of which are
either listed on the course
syllabus or determined by the
class at the first meeting.
CLASSSCHEDULE
There are three trimesters in
Weekend College - Fall,
Winter and Spring. A calendar
of class weekends for each
trimester and a tentative
schedule of courses offered
can be found in the Weekend
College Catalog Supplement.
Many courses are offered at
least once a year; however,
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.
Descriptions and schedules for
courses offered in the day

HISTORY
OF
WEEKEND
COLLEGE
In fall of 1982 Augsburg
began Weekend College under
the directorship of
Dr. Richard Thoni. At that
time Weekend College had
three majors, 69 students, and
offered eight courses in the
first term.
;
Today with more than 1,000
students and 14 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College
is the largest program of its
kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time
Augsburg professors as well
as adjunct professionals from
the work world. The Weekend
College student body is
involved in student government, and Weekend College
students participate in academic and extracurricular
activities such as the student
newspaper, travel seminars,
and the Weekend College
Commission.
Augsburg Weekend College
continues to develop to meet
the changing needs of the adult
and nontraditional student of
today.
PURPOSE
Augsburg Weekend College
provides an educational alternative to adults who desire
college experience but who
work or have other commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and
women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for
professional advancement,
prepare for career change, or
pursue a personal interest in
one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
MISSION
OF THE
COLLEGE
Students who graduate from
Augsburg are well prepared to
make a difference in the
world. They stand as testaments to the College motto,
"Education for Service," and
to the mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders in
service to the world by
providing high quality educational opportunities, which are
based in the liberal arts and
shaped by the faith and values
of the Christian Church,
by the context of a vital
metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse
campus community.
THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF
LEARNERS
Augsburg Weekend College is
designed to meet the needs
and preferences of adult
learners. The program is based
on the assumption that the
men and women who enroll in
Weekend College will be
mature, self-disciplined, and
well-motivated adult learners
who seek a balance of classroom experience and
individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided
into periods of concentrated
on-campus study separated by
time for independent study
and class preparation.
ALTERNATE
WEEKENDS
To accommodate this format
for learning, classes generally
meet on alternate weekends
for three and one-half hours
on either Friday evening,
Saturday morning, Saturday
afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by
the student involves commitment to one of these four class
periods. Laboratory sections or
additional class hours may be
scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students
may take from one to four
courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on
weekday evenings.
Essential to the goals of
Augsburg's Weekend College is
participation in a community of
adult learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is
active in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement for involvement
both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of
both men and women with a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction,
Augsburg encourages Weekend
College students to make use of
College facilities such as the
Lindell Library and the
Christensen Center, to take the
opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee breaks, to
participate in optional lunchtime seminars, and to attend
other College activities such as
music and dramatic presentations and athletic events.
FACULTV
The heart of any educational
institution is its faculty, and
Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence
and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the
doctorate or other terminal
degree and all consider their
teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in
social, professional, and a
variety of research activities,
but see these activities as
supporting their teaching. They
are actively involved in an
exciting faculty development
program that introduces them
to current thought in many
fields, but especially in teaching
techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small
classes encourage its tradition
of close involvement between
professors and students.
Faculty act as academic
advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
History
Augsburg College and
Seminary was founded in 1869
in Marshall, Wisconsin, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872.
In 1963 the name officially
became Augsburg College
when the Seminary left
campus as part of the Lutheran
Free Church merger with the
American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is
in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks
from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate
Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent
to the campus are the FairviewUniversity Medical Center, the
West Bank campus of the
University of Minnesota, and
the Mississippi River parkways.
Campus
Augsburg's campus consists
of 16 major buildings, which
include student housing
towers, Christensen Center,
main academic and administrative halls, Lindell Library,
Music Hall, and the Foss
Center for Worship, Drama,
and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort
to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the
region. Our skyway-tunnel
system lets you reach any of 10
major buildings without going
outside. In addition to building
changes, we have a dedicated
program to provide support for
students with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Although a strong
plurality of students are Lutheran,
20 percent represent other
Protestant denominations and
21 percent represent the Roman
Catholic Church. Several other
affiliations are represented
among students and faculty.
POLICIES
It is the policy of Augsburg
College not to discriminate on
the basis of race, color, creed,
religion, sexual or affectional
preference, national or ethnic
origin, age, marital status,
gender, or status with regard
to public assistance or
disability, 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, education
programs, activities and
employment practices.

sometimes necessary. Please
check with the admissions
coordinator and major sections
in this catalog to see if admission to the major is necessary.
~raisferCredit
Augsburg College welcomes
students who wish to transfer
after completing work at other
accredited colleges or univer-
sities. College credit is granted
for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at
accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not
to grant credit for courses
where it considers the work
unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at
unaccredited institutions, and
to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits
transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student
has reached junior status. If all
transfer work has been taken
at a two-year college, a
maximum of 17 Augsburg
courses, or 96 quarter credits,
will be accepted toward the
minimum of 33 Augsburg
course credits required for the
baccalaureate degree.
Transfer Credit Evaluation
An evaluation of transfer
credit is completed by the
registrar upon admission for
each degree-seeking student
who is transferring previous
college work. This evaluation
indicates which of the
student's courses have been
accepted for transfer credit at
Augsburg College and how
many course credits the
student has earned in transfer.
The registrar also determines
which transfer courses may be
used to fulfill general education requirements and may
request that the student
provide course descriptions,
syllabi or other information to
assist in this determination.
For an evaluation of transfer
courses toward major, minor,
or licensure requirements, the
student should consult the
appropriate department chair.
ACADEMICADVISING
The Academic Advising
Center advises all incoming
students, provides information
about general education
requirements, administers and
tracks entry level skill assessments, and advises students
placed on academic probation.
The Advising Center also
assists students with degree
planning and assigns each
student to a faculty adviser
during their first term at
Augsburg. The Advising

Federal Stafford Student
Loans
Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan funds are
obtained directly from a local
lender or state agency in states
that provide such programs.
Subsidized Stafford loans are
need-based loans that the
federal government subsidizes
by paying accrued interest
while in school and during the
grace period. Therefore, the
borrower is not responsible for
interest accrued while in
school or during the six-month
grace period.
Interest begins accruing on the
date of disbursement for the
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
A i d
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 borrowers
through the Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is
variable with a cap of 8.25
percent and changes annually
based on the 91-Day Treasury
Bill. The following borrowing
limits apply to the Stafford
Loan program:
Freshmen: $2,625 annually
($6,625 combined Subsidized
& Unsubsidized Stafford)
Sophomores: $3,500 annually

& Unsubsidized Stafford)
Juniors/Seniors: $5,500 annually

CENTERFOR SERVICE,
WORK,AND LEARNING
The Center for Service, Work,
and Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an
educational focus emphasizing
the importance and value for
all students to engage in
service and work-based
learning experiences and
design of a four-year career
plan integrating their education
with a vocation and life plan.
The programs of the Center 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 midrange companies, large
corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government
agencies, and community-based
organizations.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is a
college supported and monitored, paid, work-learning
experience that is closely
related to a student's major or
career objective. The goal is to
combine theory with practice in
work or service-based settings.
Students also earn money to
help defray educational costs
while gaining important on-thejob experience. Cooperative
education jobs are flexible and
can begin and end anytime.
Cooperative education 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.
Cooperative education students
are encouraged to complete at
least one internship for credit in
conjunction with their cooperative education participation.
Cooperative education is available to Augsburg students who
have completed their freshman
year and are in good academic
standing.
Academic Internships
An internship for academic
credit 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

space in the course(s) will
not be held.
CROSSOVER
POLICY
It is expected that Weekend
College students complete
their degree requirements in
the Weekend College
schedule; however, students
may take a course in the day
schedule as a crossover. A
Weekend College student
wishing to attend a day
schedule course, or a day
student wishing to attend a
course in Weekend College,
must schedule at the Office of
the Registrar. Students taking
courses in both the day
program and Weekend
College program schedules
that total three or more
courses on any given date will
be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend
College student taking one day
schedule course and who has
fewer than three total courses
will be charged the current
part-time tuition for day
school.
Students will also follow these
guidelines:
Students may cross over for
one full course credit per
term.
The course selected must
have space available.
Weekend College students
may not cross over to attend
ACTC (Associated Colleges
of the Twin Cities) courses,
except when required by the

and the day schedule are not
subject to cross over policy.
Contact the Office of the
Registrar for more information
on the crossover policy.
WITHDRAWING
FROM
COURSES
Students may drop (also
referred to as canceling or
withdrawing) a particular
course by completing a
CancelIAddChange of
Registration form at the Office
of the Registrar before the
deadline (published in the
Weekend College Catalog
Supplement). Dropping a class
will result in a W for withdrawal on an official academic
record. Students are urged not
to abandon courses for which
they are registered because this
may result in a failing grade on
their official academic record.
The refund schedule is listed
on page 14. Note: A student
may withdraw after the refund
schedule has expired.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM
COLLEGE
Students who do not intend to
continue at Augsburg must file
a Withdrawal from College
form at the Office of the
Registrar. This is not necessary
if the student is taking a term
off; however, Weekend
College students who do not
attend courses for three
consecutive trimesters
(excluding summer) are
considered inactive and must
file an Application for
Re-admission form with the
Office of the Registrar in order
to resume their academic
program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of
the Registrar informed of their
mailing address.
SYLLABUS
A syllabus is a course outline
written by the instructor that
may include a course description
and objectives, required text@),
course schedule, grading criteria,
and assignments. A syllabus is
especially important in Weekend
College because it advises the
student of any assignment due
the first class weekend. Students
are responsible for picking up
the course syllabus at the times
published in The Weekender,
the Weekend College informational publication.
EVALUATION AND
C RADING
Student achievement in
courses is measured by final
examinations, shorter tests,
written papers, oral reports,
and other types of evaluation.
Most courses are offered with
grading options-traditional
grading on a 4.0 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. 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 on
page 29.
Note: Certain courses are
offered on one grading system
only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are
graded P/N only).
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 made after the
published deadline for dropping without record notation.
I n f o r m a t i o n .
NUMERIC
GRADES
Numeric grades are used with
these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest
standards of excellence
3.0 Achieves above basic
course standards
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards
for the course
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.
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 and must
file a form with the Registrar's
Office 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. 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 trimester. 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 has
the option of not giving an X
where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated.
REPEATING
COURSES
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 credit 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.
AUDITINGCOURSES
Students who wish to take
courses without credit or grade
may do so by registering for
Audit (V). The charge for
auditing is listed in the current
year's Weekend College
Catalog Supplement. The
signature of the instructor is
required to register an audit.
Students who audit a course
should confer with the
instructor two weeks prior to
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).
Courses for which transfer
credit has been awarded may
not be repeated for credit at
Augsburg. This includes
courses that are substantially
similar despite different titles
or emphases.
GRADEPOINTAVERAGE
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

DISMISSAL
The College requires that
students maintain the
following cumulative grade
point averages (GPA):
Freshman-A student who has
taken fewer than seven credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.6
or higher
Sophomore-A student who
has taken fewer than 16
credits with a cumulative GPA
of 1.7 or higher
Junior-A student who has
taken fewer than 24 credits
with a cumulative GPA of 1.9
or higher
Senior-A student who has
taken 24 or more credits 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, 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. 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 level 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,
juniors, and seniors 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.
A c a d e m i c

DEAN'S
LIST
The Dean's List is compiled
after each trimester, listing
students whose grade point
average for a trimester is 3.5
or better. Students must be
full-time (a minimum two full
course credits for a Weekend
College student), graded on
the traditional grading system,
with no incompletes in courses
offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an
announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean's List.
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 Assessment of
Previous Learning (APL)
program at Augsburg provides
a means by which a student's
previous learning, other than
that which is transferred from
another accredited institution,
may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life
experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at
a liberal arts college. Such
learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to
course work in a field of study
within the Augsburg liberal
arts curriculum and (2) it can
be objectively 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.
The following is a brief
description of each of these
means of assessment:
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 passlno credit basis only,
and there is a charge per
exam of one-half of tuition
for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program
This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty
team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of
two faculty members from
.
fields of study directly related
to the student's previous
learning. Students who wish to
prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment
should consult the Office of
the Registrar. In completing
the evaluation of a student's
previous learning, the faculty
team applies the following
criteria:
There is documentable
evidence of a cognitive
component in the previous
learning experience that
involved prescribed and/or
systematic study of content
material found within liberal
arts course work.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals
in addition to the presenting
student.
The learning lends itself to
both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to
the student's educational
goals.
The learning and skills
involved are current and
could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the
credit assessment process after
completing at least four course
credits 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
APL 2xx. Application of this
credit toward the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements,
upper division requirements,
and academic majors and
minors may be subsequently
addressed by the associate
academic dean 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
I
.
.
placed in the context of formal
study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum
of eight course credits (about
one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) on transcript credit
that is obtained through
previous experiential learning.
In compiling the eight courses
of credit for previous experiential learning, the student
may use any combination of
assessment processes available
in the APL program: CLEP
exams, departmental exams,
and credit granted through
portfolio assessment.
Lifetime SportsAssessment of Previous
Learning (APL) Program
Students in the Weekend
College may complete one of
the two required graduation
skills of Lifetime Sports
through the APL process. The
Lifetime Sports graduation
skills are non-academic
courses and no credit is earned
by their completion; however,
fulfillment of two Lifetime
Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each
Lifetime Sport completed by
APL. Additional information
about Lifetime Sports APL is
available from the Weekend
College Office.

ACCOUNTING-ACC
The major in accounting
prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related
positions. This major has two
tracks: General Accounting
and Professional Accounting.
The General Accounting
specialization is adequate for a
wide variety of positions. The
Professional Accounting track
includes two specializations:
public accounting and
managerial accounting. The
public accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with CPA firms. The
managerial accounting specialization is recommended for
positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations relate to two
professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A CPA
(Certified Public Accountant)
focuses on external reporting;
a CMA (Certified Management
Accountant) focuses on
internal reporting. The public
accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the
managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam.
Designations have an experience requirement in addition
to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the
Minnesota State Board of
Accountancy, accounting
majors in the public accounting
specialization are qualified to
sit for the CPA examination
during their last semester.
Accounting Core:
14 courses are required for
this major (an exception to
the 13-course limitation):
(It is recommended that
students take the courses in
the sequence given below.)

ART, STUDI-ART
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 significant number of art
galleries and museums in the
Twin Cities area.
Hundreds of specific careers
exist in the general area of art,
such as teaching in the public
schools and colleges,
ceramics, interior design,
photography, film and video
work, painting, gallery and
museum work, and design.

COMMUNICATIONSPC
Our quality of life, both
personally and professionally,
depends in large part upon the
quality of our communication.
A communication major at
Augsburg is designed to
enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of
contexts and to improve
communication skills.
Since careers in communication demand a broad
educational background, the
department strongly encour-
ages a second major or two
minors in fields such as business, economics, English,
history, international relations,
political science, psychology,
religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts.
SPC 351
Argumentation
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.
SPC 355
Small Group Communication
All communication majors
must complete a core group of
seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one

studies coordinator as soon as
possible in order to make full
use of their time at Augsburg.
Transfer students with a B.A. in
history or another major in the
social science field from another
college must take at least two
courses within their disciplinary
major or the social science core
at Augsburg (preferably upper
division). These courses must
be taken before the department
can recommend a student for
student teaching.
Licensure in EnglishLanguage Arts
Students preparing to teach
English-Language Arts on the
high school level must complete,
in addition to the professional
requirements to be met within
the Department of Education, a
competency program designed to
provide a foundation in English.
Specific requirements for the
English-language arts licensure
program are outlined under the
English major in this catalog
and are subject to change per
the Department of Education.
Those who study English
believe that an intense concern
for words, ideas, and images
helps people understand who
they are and who they can
become. Writing helps us
clarify and share our thoughts.
Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of
human existence. Through the
study of English we see life's
complexity, experience life as
some others do, and understand better the world in
which we live and work.
English relates closely to other
majors. With the other arts,
English is concerned with the
pleasure that comes from
artistic creation and with the
contemplation of works of art.
With psychology and sociology, English is concerned
with individual and group
behavior. With philosophy,
English is interested in ideas
and the relation between
meaning and language. With
science, English is interested
in discovering order and determining structures. With speech
and communication, English
studies the effective use of
language. With history and the
other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the
way people have acted and
thought at different times and
indifferent cultures.

Prerequisites
ENG 111 Effective Writing is
strongly recommended but not a
prerequisite for a lower
division literature course.
Prerequisite for an upper
division literature course is ENG
245 or consent of the instructor.
Minor:
Five courses above ENG 111
including ENG 245; an upper
division literature course; and
an additional writing course.
History is to society what
memory is to an individual; it
brings to a civilization an
understanding of its identity.
The distinguished medievalist
J.R. Strayer expressed it this
way: "No community can
survive and no institution can
function without constant
reference to past experience.
We are ruled by precedents
fully as much as by laws,
which is to say that we are
ruled by the collective
memory of the past. It is the
memory of common experiences which makes scattered
individuals into a community."
The English Placement Test:
A writing sample is required
of students to determine their
placement in an appropriate
writing class. Students who do
not show competence in
composition skills such as
stating and supporting a thesis,
organizing clearly, and
constructing paragraphs and
sentences are required to
enroll in ENG 101
Developmental Writing, where
they will receive more individual instruction than is
possible in ENG 11I Effective
Writing. These students must
pass ENG 101 Developmental
Writing before enrolling in
ENG 111 Effective Writing.
HISTORY-HIS
The study of history enables
us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and
change in society. The
construction of an informed
sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in
appreciating and understanding the present as well as
anticipating the future. History
majors are prepared to be
active and contributing
members of their society. The
study of history, which has long
held a major role in the liberal arts,
is an entry to elementary and
secondary education, graduate
study in several fields, and a wide
range of employment opportunities that require abilities in
communication, conceptualhtion,
and processing of information.

NURSING-NUR
The 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, running their own
businesses. Nurses provide
health care for individuals
from all cultures and socioeconomic levels throughout their
life span.
The bachelor's degree equips
nurses with a working knowledge of the biological,
physical, social, behavioral,
and nursing sciences. The
nursing program at Augsburg
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.

PSYCHOLOGY-PSY
Psychology is an exploration
of behavior and mental
processes. As an integral part
of a liberal arts education,
psychology contributes to the
understanding of individual
and group behavior.
Psychology's scientific
method also equips students to
understand and use scientific
research and to make more
informed judgments about
claims in the popular media.
To prepare students for graduate study and work in
psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary
components of a strong foundation in research and
theoretical work with application of knowledge and skills in
coursework, research experience, and internships within
the community. The curriculum's emphasis on
problem-solving skills and
current information about
human development and interaction is also relevant to
careers in many related
settings-business, education,
social services, research, law,
government, church, and
medicine.
Faculty members in the
Department of Psychology
have varied professional
specializations-clinical,
counseling, physiological,
developmental, social, cognitive, environmental, and
industriallorganizational
psychology-as well as expertise in psychological
applications to health, law,
and public policy. Students
may tap this expertise through
a variety of learning experiences-within and outside the
classroom, with group and
individual projects, and
through association with
Augsburg's active Psychology
Club, Psi Chi Honor Society,
and faculty-student research
teams.

RELIGION-REL
Religion asks fundamental
questions of life and meaning.
Who are we as human beings?
Where did we come from?
Where did the world come
from? What do good and evil
mean in this time and place?
Students will wrestle with
these questions and with
responses from the Christian
traditions and from the
perspectives of the other major
world religions.
Through this study of religion,
students will learn to understand, appreciate, and
articulate the Christian faith,
as based in the Bible, as lived
in the Christian fellowship, as
embodied in the Christian
Church and its history, and as
interactive in the contemporary world and with other
world religions. Students will
also develop the ability to read
and interpret the Bible, other
religious texts, and various
expressions and practices of
faith so that their meaning for
human life in relation to God
becomes evident. In addition
students will develop skills for
becoming leaders in the religious communities to which
they belong and for living as
responsible citizens with
others whose religious views
and practices differ from their
own. A religion major encourages students to seek their
future in the world and/or
church through a sense of
vocation, serving as pastors,
associates in ministry, nurses,
and youth and family ministry
lay professionals in congregations, and as social service and
human resource professionals
in a wide variety of settings.

on file with the department
chair.)
Department approval is necessary before courses taken at
other colleges can be accepted
for Religion Department
course credit.
All majors must consult with
the department chair.
Completion of this major may
require enrollment in one or
more courses offered in an
evening weekday schedule.
Religion Minor
Five religion courses.
Note: Not all courses that meet
the Christian faith perspective
are religion courses. Only
Religion Department courses

major and minor.
SOCIAL WORK-SWK
The Social Work major
prepares graduates for entrylevel generalist professional
practice in the field of social
work. The program is accredited by the Council on Social
Work Education and leads to a
Bachelor of Science degree.
The program is based on a
generalist model of practice,
enabling graduates to work
with individuals, families,
groups, and communities, and
to develop and analyze social
policy. Courses within the
program utilize a student
empowerment model for
teaching and learning.

POLICY
E
It is expected that students
attend every class. If more
than one class meeting will be
missed, the student should not
register for the course. Some
faculty and courses require
100 percent attendance for a
student to earn a passing
grade. Most Weekend College
classes meet seven times
during a trimester plus Finals
Class Weekend. Some courses
meet for the entire period on
Finals Class Weekend.
Classes marked with an
asterisk (*) on the Class
Schedule require or recommend that students attend
additional class meetings, the
dates and times of which are
either listed on the course
syllabus or determined by the
class at the first meeting.
CLASSSCHEDULE
There are three trimesters in
Weekend College-fall,
winter, and spring. A calendar
of class weekends for each
trimester and a tentative
schedule of courses offered
can be found in the Weekend
College Catalog Supplement.
Many courses are offered at
least once a year; however,
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.
Descriptions and schedules for
courses offered in the day
schedule, January Interim,
Summer School, the Master of
Arts in Leadership, and the
Master of Social Work
programs are published in
separate publications.
NUMBERING
Courses numbered below 300
are lower division courses.
Courses numbered 300 and
above are classified as upper
division.
CREDITS
One course credit at Augsburg
is approximately equivalent to
four semester credits or six
quarter credits.
The majority of Augsburg
courses are one course credit.
Some courses in the education, health and physical
education, and music departments have .5 credit value
(one-half course) or .25 credit
value (one-quarter course).
A prerequisite is a course or a
specific skill level, e.g. Math
Placement Level, which must
be completed before the
student enrolls in a higherlevel course. Prerequisites are
listed in the course description. When a prerequisite has
not been fulfilled, a student
may enroll in the course only
if there is prior approval from
the course instructor.

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major
role in one's development of a philosophy of life, which consequently determines how one lives his life and what he gets out of it.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main
purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a
philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of
both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will
best help the student understand the world in which he will be living
and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart,
and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also
designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for
"making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President
GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information
HISTORY
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational
liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beginning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran
Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to
Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis,
in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet
those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The
College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all
synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men
and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial,
and religious backgrounds.
THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION
Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre
campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is
the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest.
The academic life of the students is centered in a large split-level
complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a
prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and
lounges are located in this building.
·
Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta
dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and
8
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to
Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a grill is located in Delta dormitory.
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a
program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training.
Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for
students interested in the arts and sciences, and also provide
opportunity for a study of the sources oi the Christian faith.
Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to
participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year
college or university.
2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for
semi-professional employment in the fields of parish work,
missions, secretarial work, social service and recreational
leadership.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for
individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs.
Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with
opportunities ...
. . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as
set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and
an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her
basic beliefs and spiritual commitments .
. . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young
adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and
active membership in Christian congregations .
. . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theater
through courses and cultural events on the campus and
through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College.
GENERAL INFORMATION

... to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and participation in physical
education and sports activities .
. . . to develop personal self-confidence through the determination
of individual goals, the building of relationships with other
people and the experience of companionship in a Christian
setting.
ACCREDITATION, AFFILIATIONS AND
TRANSFER OF CREDIT
Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation
through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in
July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they
make a creditable record at Golden Val_ley Lutheran College, their
credits will be accepted elsewhere in the academic community.

Transfer of Religion Courses
With reference to transfer of religion courses, it should be noted
that most colleges and universities accept our courses in religion.
Students who are planning to continue their education at a college
with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion
courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through
the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable, and a
student with a sat"isfactory academic record can normally complete
a Bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the A.A.
degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly.
'
The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct
themselves in a manner which is not in the best interests of the
10
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
individual, other students, or the College. Each student is expected
to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to
student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel
program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest
speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or
other special convocation programs.
Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily chapel
services of the College community. He or she is also encouraged to
attend public worship every Sunday in the church of ones choice.
Student Use of Automobiles
Since parking space is limited on campus, those students who do
not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from
work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need
an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through
the business office. The Dean of Students shall have the right to
terminate a car permit at any time if, in his opinion, circumstances
warrant such action.
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Golden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students
from using alcoholic beverages. Students possessing, using, or
under the influence of alcoholic beverages on campus, in collegeapproved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off
campus will be subject to disciplinary action. In instances where
college officials are informed that Golden Valley Lutheran College
students have caused a disturbance off campus in connection with
the use of alcohol, the college reserves the right to take disciplinary
action.
Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state
statutes pertaining to the illegal use of drugs. A student who uses,
possesses, or persuades someone else to use drug substances in
violation of the laws will be subject to disciplinary action. The
college's action will be determined by the circumstances surrounding each individual case.
STUDENT PERSONNEL
11
Student Personnel Services
NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION
Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to
the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time
the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College
and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year.
The orientation period also includes a series of ability and vocational interest tests which are used to help provide a more effective
counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to
college life.
COUNSELING SERVICES
The major decisions which students have to make during their
early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling
provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their
academic, social, personal, and vocational problems.
The College counselors are available to assist students in clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational goals, to
help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, and to help them
plan programs in preparation for further study.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him
or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to the
12
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
assigned faculty advisor, each student may make appointments to
visit with instructors, Residence Hall Directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance if difficulties are encountered.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this
assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation
courses described on page 63.
HEAL TH SERVICES
The College has a registered nurse on the staff to provide basic
medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a
mile from the campus.
INSURANCE
The personal property of staff members and students is not
covered by insurance and the college does not assume any responsibility for the loss of such property.
HOUSING SERVICES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college.
Provided space is available, all full-time students live in the College
residence halls. Exceptions are those who commute from their
homes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on
campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which
provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for
the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who
are commuting may purchase either their noon luncheon or evening
dinner in the College cafeteria.
STUDENT LIFE
13
Student Life
Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities
and experiences which help develop the student's total life. The
programs of the College provide wholesome recreation together
with programs that stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL LIFE
Student self-government is carried out by a Committee on Student Activities (CSA) elected by the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of student-faculty relations. It
seeks continually to improve and make the life of the student more
enjoyable. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by a Student Judiciary Board. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the CSA. Homecoming, Sno-Daze, and the Spring Banquet
are examples of the many social activities available.
RELIGIOUS LIFE
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that sound ·religious life activities must be
an integral part of its program. In support of this conviction, the
College has regularly scheduled chapel services and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer
and Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child.
In addition, many students participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in World Mission Fellowships. The Col-
14
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
lege has a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many
of the athletes take an active part. There is also an opportunity to
participate on youth encounter teams which travel throughout the
Midwest presenting the Gospel in word and song.
ATHLETICS
Basic objectives in physical education and athletics at Golden
Valley Lutheran College are to teach the value of good health and
physical fitness, to cultivate interest in the proper use of leisure
time, to develop character and good sportsmanship and to give instruction in various sports and games used in recreational activities.
Intercollegiate athletic competition for men is available in football, baseball, basketball, wrestling, track, and cross country. The
College is a member of the Minnesota State Junior College Conference and the National Junior College Athletic Association.
Women may participate in intercollegiate basketball, cross country, softball, volleyball and track competition. An intramural program is available for both men and women.
MUSIC
Golden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and
spiritual value that music plays in the life of any society. It desires,
therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation
in music by giving opportunity for self-expression as a member of a
performing group. These organizations include the Golden Valley
Lutheran College Choir, a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal
Singers, a smaller ensemble which specializes in certain types of
music literature; the Golden Valley Singers, a women's chorus; a
pep band and concert band; the Golden Valley Orchestra, a community and College organization; and various vocal and instrumental
ensembles. In addition to specific courses in the field of music, the
College gives opportunity for private lessons in voice and instrumental study.
The location of Golden Valley Lutheran College within the Twin
City area makes it easy for students to gain a new appreciation of
the fine arts. Various community concerts, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, and programs given by other
colleges and the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities for cultural enrichment.
STUDENT LIFE
15
DRAMA

Costs
STUDENT COSTS 1980-1981
The following pages explain the basic costs to the student and
the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting
these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of
tuition, board, room or fees at any time.
The college does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Many of the gifts that come in are
through legacies, matching gifts from corporations and Lutheran
Brotherhood, Minnesota Private College Contract, and congregations and congregational organizations. Most of the funds,
however, come from individual gifts. These contributors include
alumni, parents and friends of the college. There are two programs
to which people have committed themselves. They are the Loyalty
program, where one may pledge $400 to be paid over a four-year
period, and the Inasmuch program, where one may pledge $1,000 or
more to be paid over a four-year period. We believe that the Lord
answers prayer as we tell our friends what our needs are and ask
them to join us in participation by prayer and by giving.
Deposits and Fees
A $10 application fee must accompany the application for admission. This fee is not refundable.
All new students are required to make an initial deposit of $50 by
April or within two weeks after acceptance has been made and/or
financial aid (if applied for) has been awarded. Once paid, this
deposit is not refundable prior to enrollment, unless the applicant
accepts the offer of admission under the early decision plan (pays
the $50 initial deposit before February 15). This comprehensive payment serves as a reserve deposit during the entire period of enrollment with any balance being refunded after all damage charges,
equipment fines, library fines, etc. have been deducted.

Gift Support
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and
board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the college. In
fact, 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants.
In the present budget this amounts to $700,000 a year. Therefore,
over and above all help s/he may get, each student receives the
equivalent of a$1200 scholarship per year in order to cover the total
expenses of the operation.
REFUND SCHEDULE
Students who decide to withdraw from college after they have
registered and paid their tuition will receive a computed refund
figured from the date the Bookkeeping Office receives the application for withdrawal.
Prior to first class meeting ............................ 100%
During first week ..................................... 90%
During second week .................................. 75%

time.
BOOKSTORE
All textbooks, art and college supplies may be purchased at the
college bookstore. Stationery, college seals, banners, and other
items are also available for the convenience of students. All purchases must be paid for in cash. Students should have $50.00 to

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

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
29
The Academic Program
Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year
completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and
Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational
Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. In addition there are specialized programs of
study available for certain qualified students who do not seek a
graduation award.
The academic program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is basically liberaf arts and allows one to concentrate in the area of general
education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation.
Students who eventually plan to attain a four-year liberal arts degree are encouraged to get the general education requirements satisfied while at GVLC, thus allowing them to concentrate chiefly on
their major and minor areas of study during the last two years of
college.
General education courses ask the student to know something of
the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he
or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological
studies.
GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Credit Load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to
this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's
30
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
faculty advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be
granted by the Academic Dean. Students enrolled for 12 or more
credit-hours per term will be considered full-time; those with less
than 12 credit-hours will be considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits will be classified as a freshman; a student who has earned 45 or more cumulative
credits will be classified as a sophomore.
The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit.
Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and
tuition costs are the same as costs for credit.
Grading and Honor Point System
A student's grade point average is figured at the end of each term
and is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by
the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the
following scale:
Grade

*Incomplete work, receiving a grade of I, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student
attends. If a student wants an extension beyond four weeks, he or
she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the
work is not completed, the grade becomes an F.
**Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by
W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last
regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas
determined by the instructor.
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
31
***An optional grading system of Sand U may be used at the discretion of the instructor for non-transferable credit. If a student is to
work for an S instead of a letter grade, the decision must be determined by the instructor and the student before the sixth week of the
quarter. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior
College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts degree.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a
grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each
term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or
better are included on the Dean's List.
Unsatisfactory Academic Progress
In accordance with policies established by the administration and
faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to unsatisfactory
progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her
grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or
her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one
quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any
quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the
grade point average is raised to 1 .50 or above. A student who persists in a pattern of unsatisfactory progress may be dismissed from
college.
Eligibility For Varsity Sports
Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley
Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic
Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a
varsity sport, a student must earn a grade point average of 1.50 or
better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College Catalog. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of
a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See N.J.C.A.A. Eligibility Rules.)
With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a
student who earns a grade point average of less than 1 .50 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study
reduced, at-the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
Repeating A Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has
32
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at
the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course
in which a D or F grade has been received, only the more recent
grade earned will be entered on the student's transcript and included in the computation of the grade point average.
Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for completing work as required in
each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused
absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to
learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually
stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a
student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of
unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments.
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied
toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the
criteria established by the department and have the approval of the
chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent
Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study,
and a demonstration of relevance to the student's objectives. I ndependent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for
eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the
student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A
student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to
take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102,
English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for
selection. The suggested Bible core sequence is listed on pages
57-58.
All freshmen students are required to take the sequence in College English (English 111, 112, 113).
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
33
Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied
toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required
physical education are not included in this category, however one
physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for
varsity sports. (If the student plays on a varsity team two years,
only one credit will be granted for the sport.) Co-curricular activities
include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, Golden Valley
Singers, Madrigal Singers, Band, Golden Valley Orchestra, Theater
Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity
courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits
that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration
whether the activity is being taken for credit or non-credit.
Credit by Special Examination
Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits
or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific
departmental policies.
Admission of Transfer Students

toward a degree or certificate at Golden Valley Lutheran College.
Transfer students are required to follow regular admissions procedure and submit an official transcript of record from each college
attended. Credit for the college work done, if satisfactory in grade
and applicable toward the College's divisional degree requirements,

Lutheran College will not accept D's in transfer except by special
petition approved by the Scholastic Standing Committee.
The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade
points are not included in the computation of the grade point average.
Withdrawals from the College
If a student wishes to withdraw from the College during any term,
application for this action must be made in the Office of the
Registrar. An unauthorized withdrawal results in failure in all
courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the
time the application was approved. (See page 22.)

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major
role in one's development of a philosophy of life, which consequently determines how one lives his life and what he gets out of it.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main
purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a
philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of
both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will
best help the student understand the world in which he will be living
and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart,
and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also
designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for
"making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President

General Information
HISTORY
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational
liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beginning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran
Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to
Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis,
in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet
those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The
College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all
synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men
and women from various geographic, cultural, ecohomic, racial,
and religious backgrounds.
THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION
Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre
campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is
the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest.
The academic life of the students is centered in a large split-level
complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a
prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and
lounges are located in this building.
·
Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta
dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities· incJude fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer a:nd

meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to
Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a grill is located in Delta dormitory.
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a
program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training.
Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for
students interested in the arts and sciences, and also piovide
opportunity for a study of the sources oi the Christian faith.
Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to
participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year
college or university.
2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for
semi-professional employment in the fields of parish work,
missions, secretarial work, social service and recreational
leadership.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for
individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs.
Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with
opportunities ...

that most colleges and universities accept our courses in religion.
Students who are planning to continue their education at a college
with limited transfer of religion .credits may register for the religion

The orientation period also includes a series of ability and
personality tests which are used to help provide a more effective
counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to
college life.

The major decisions which students have to make during their
early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling

academic, social, personal, and vocational problems.
The College counselors are available to assist students in
clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational
goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, to help
them plan programs in preparation for further study, and to help
them deal with personal and/or emotional problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him
or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each aca..
demic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to the
12
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
assigned faculty advisor, each student may make appointments to
visit Vv'ith instructors, Residence Hall Directors, the deans, the Co!lege nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance if difficulties are encountered.

Gift Support
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and
board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the college. In

over and above all help s/he may get, each student receives the
equivalent of a $1200 scholarship per year in order to cover the total
expenses of the operation.

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

college.
General education courses ask the student to know something of
the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he
or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological
studies.
GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Credit Load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to
this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's
30
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
faculty advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be
granted by the Academic Dean. Students enro!!ed for 12 or more
credit-hours per term will be considered full-time; those with less
than 12 credit-hours will be considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits will be classified as a freshman; a student who has earned 45 or more cumulative
credits will be classified as a sophomore.
The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit.
Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and
tuition costs are the same as costs for credit.
Grading and Honor Point System
A student's grade point average is figured at the end of each term
and is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by
the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the
following scale:
Grade
A
B
c
Honor Points

*Incomplete work, receiving a grade of I, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student
attends. If a student wants an extension beyond four weeks, he or
she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the
work is not completed, the grade becomes an F.
**Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by
W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last
regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas
determined by the instructor.
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
31
***An optional grading system of Sand U may be used at the discretion of the instructor for non-transferable credit. If a student is to
work for an S instead of a letter grade, the decision must be determined by the instructor and the student before the sixth week of the
quarter. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior
College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts degree.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a
grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each
term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or
better are included on the Dean's List.
Unsatisfactory Academic Progress
In accordance with policies established by the administration and
faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to unsatisfactory
progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her
grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or
her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one
quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any
quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the
grade point average is raised to 1 .50 or above. A student who persists in a pattern of unsatisfactory progress may be dismissed from
college.
Eligibility for Varsity Sports
Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley
Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic
Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a
varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student
during the qualifying and competing quarter. He or she must earn a
grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course
work listed in the College catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in
their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter
requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all
hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing
a student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.)
With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a
student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a
quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of
study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
32
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Repeating A Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has
been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at
the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course
in which a D or F grade has been received, only the more recent
grade earned will be entered on the student's transcript and included in the computation of the grade point average.
Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for completing work as required in
each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused
absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to
learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually
stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a
student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of
unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments.
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied
toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the
criteria established by the department and have the approval of the
chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent
Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study,
and a demonstration of relevance to the student's objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for
eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the
student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A
student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to
take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102,
English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for
selection. The suggested Bible core sequence is listed on pages
57-58.
All freshmen students are required to take the sequence in College English (English 111, 112, 113).
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
33
Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied
toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required
physical education are not included in this category, however one
physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for
varsity sports. (If the student plays on a varsity team two years,
only one credit will be granted for the sport.) Co-curricular activities
include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, Golden Valley
Singers, Madrigal Singers, Band, Golden Valley Orchestra, Theater
Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity
courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits
that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration
whether the activity is being taken for credit or non-credit.
Credit by Special Examination
Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits
or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific
departmental policies.
Admission of Transfer Students
College work done at other accredited institutions may be applied
toward a degree or certificate at Golden Valley Lutheran College.
Transfer students are required to follow regular admissions procedure and submit an official transcript of record from each college
attended. Credit for the college work done, if satisfactory in grade
and applicable toward the College's divisional degree requirements,
will be accepted toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Golden Valley
Lutheran College will not accept D's in transfer except by special
petition approved by the Scholastic Standing Committee.
The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade
points are not included in the computation of the grade point average.
Withdrawals from the College
If a student wishes to withdraw from the College during any term,
application for this action must be made in the Office of the
Registrar. An unauthorized withdrawal results in failure in all
courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the
time the application was approved. (See page 22.)
34
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
REGISTRATION
New students must report to the College for Orientation Days as
indicated in the calendar in this catalog. Both new and returning
students are required to register on the days indicated in the
calendar.
Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. Until such
settlement has been made, the student is not eligible to attend any
class or individual lesson.
Changes in Registration
Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident
mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days
of classes, upon the written approval of the Academic Dean, the advisor, and the teachers concerned. A Change of Course Permit for
this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the
tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except
upon petition and favorable action by the Academic Affairs
Committee. Petition forms are available from the Registrar's Office.
There is a $1.00 fee for each change in registration after the tenth
day of classes.
Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by
W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after Mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or F as
determined by the instructor. A student may not drop a course after
final examinations begin.

Graduation Requirements
Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan the college
program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt
about how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with

petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the
Committee on Academic Affairs.
The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her
program includes all requirements for graduation. The advisors,
the Academic Dean, and the Registrar will gladly assist in every way
possible.

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major
role in one's development of a philosophy of life, which consequently determines how one lives his life and what he gets out of it.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main
purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a
philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of
both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will
best help the student understand the world in which he will be living
and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart,
and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also
designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for
"making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President
GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information
HISTORY
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational
liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beg inning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran
Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to
Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis,
in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet
those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The
College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all
synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men
and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial,
and religious backgrounds.
THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION
Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre
campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is
the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest.
The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level
complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a
prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and
lounges are located in this building.
Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta
dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and
8
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to
Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a gri!! is located in De!ta dormitory.
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a
program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training.
Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for
students interested in the arts and sciences, and also provide
opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith.
Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to
participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year
college or university.
2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for
semi-professional employment in the fields of church staff
work, missions, secretarial work, social service, recreational
leadership and a cooperative computer training program.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for
individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs.
Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with
opportunities ...
. . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as
set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and
an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her
basic beliefs and spiritual commitments .
. . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young
adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and
active membership in Christian congregations .
. . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre
through courses and cultural events on the campus and
through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College.
GENERAL INFORMATION

... to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and participation in physical
education and sports activities .
. . . to develop personal self-confidence through the determination
of individual goals, the building of relationships with other
people and the experience of companionship in a Christian
setting.
ACCREDITATION, AFFILIATIONS AND
TRANSFER OF CREDIT
Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation
through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in
July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they
make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their
credits will be accepted elsewhere in the academic community.

Transfer of Religion Courses
With reference to transfer of religion courses, it should be noted
that most colleges and universities accept our courses in religion.
Students who are planning to continue their education at a college
with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion
courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through
the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable, and a
student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete
a Bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the A.A.
degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly.
The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct
themselves in a manner which is not in the best interest of the
10
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
individual, other students, or the College. Each student is expected
to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to
student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel
program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the
nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or
guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music
or other special convocation programs.
The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate
program. It is here that challenges are made from the Scriptures,
where announcements of great significance are made, where there
is an opportunity for worship, inspiration and intellectual
stimulation and where a sense of community is developed.
Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily
chapel services of the College community. He or she is also
encouraged to attend public worship every Sunday in the church
of one's choice.
Student Use of Automobiles
Since parking space is limited on campus, those students who do
not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from
work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do
need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit
through the business office. The Dean of Students shall have the
right to terminate a permit at any time if, in his opinion, circumstances
warrant such action. The College assumes no responsibility for
damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles.
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Golden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students
from using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in
college-approved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on
and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action. In instances
where college officials are informed that Golden Valley Lutheran
College students have caused a disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol or drugs the College reserves the right to
take disciplinary action.
Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state
statutes pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student
who uses, possesses, or persuades someone else to use alcohol or
drugs in violation of the laws will be subject to disciplinary action.
The college's action will be determined by the circumstances
surrounding each individual case.
The College provides counseling services and support groups

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION
Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to
the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time
the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College
and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year.
The orientation period also includes a series of ability and
personality tests which are used to help provide a more effective
counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to
college life.
COUNSELING SERVICES
The major decisions which students have to make during their
early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling
provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their
academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems.
The College counselors are available to assist students in
clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational
goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, to help
them plan programs in preparation for further study, and to help
them deal with personal and/or emotional problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him
or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each
academic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to
individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with
matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other
12
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
problems, meet regularly. Beyond the service described, each
student may make appointments to visit with instructors,
residence hall directors, the deans, the Co!!ege nurse or others on
the staff who can Qive assistance if difficulties are encountered.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this
assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation
courses described on page 63.
HEAL TH SERVICES
The College has a registered nurse on the staff to provide basic
medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a
mile from the campus.
INSURANCE
The personal property of staff members and students is not
covered by insurance and the College does not assume any
responsibility for the loss of such property. Many families have
homeowners policies that will cover losses of family members at
college.
HOUSING SERVICES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college.
Provided space is available, all full-time students live in the College
residence halls. Exceptions are those who commute from their
homes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on
campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which
provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for
the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who
are commuting may purchase either their noon luncheon or evening
dinner in the College cafeteria.
STUDENT LIFE
13
Student Life
Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides
activities and experiences which help develop the student's total
life. The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation
designed to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are
involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich
college life and foster friendships.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL LIFE
Student self-government is carried out by a Committee on
Student Activities (CSA) chosen from the student body. This
representative group serves as a coordinator of student-faculty
relations. It seeks continually to improve and make the life of the
student more enjoyable. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by a
Student Judiciary Board. The social program of the College is
under the supervision of the CSA. Homecoming, Sno-Daze, and the
Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities
available.
RELIGIOUS LIFE
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley
Lutheran College believes that sound religious life activities must
be an integral part of its program. In support of this conviction, the
College has regularly scheduled chapel services, campus worship
services, campus dormitory devotions and Christian student
organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer and
Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child.
In addition, many students participate in Christian Service
activities in the community and in World Mission Fellowships. The
14
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
College has a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which
many students take an active part. There is also an opportunity to
participate on youth encounter teams which travel throughout the
Midwest presenting the Gospel in word and song.
ATHLETICS
Basic objectives in physical education and athletics at Golden
Valley Lutheran College are to teach the value of good health and
physical fitness, to cultivate interest in the proper use of leisure
time, to develop character and good sportsmanship and to give
instruction in various sports and games used in recreational
activities. Intercollegiate athletic competition for men is available
in football, baseball, basketball, wrestling, track, marathon, and
cross country. The College is a member of the Minnesota
Community College Conference, and the National Junior College
Athletic Association.
Women may participate in intercollegiate basketball, cross
country, softball, volleyball, marathon and track competition. An
intramural program is available for both men and women.
MUSIC
Golden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and
spiritual value that music plays in the life of any society. It desires,
therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation
in music by giving opportunity for self-expression as a member of a
performing group. These organizations include the Golden Valley
Lutheran College Choir, a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal
Singers, a smaller ensemble which specializes in certain types of
music literature; the Golden Valley Singers, a women's chorus; a
pep band and concert band; the Golden Valley Orchestra, a community and College organization; and various vocal and instrumental
ensembles. In addition to specific courses in the field of music, the
College gives opportunity for private lessons in voice and instrumental study.
The location of Golden Valley Lutheran College within the Twin
City area makes it easy for students to gain a new appreciation of
the fine arts. Various community concerts, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, and programs given by other
colleges and the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities for cultural enrichment.
STUDENT LIFE
15
DRAMA
The drama program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is two-fold
in its purpose: it attempts to expose the student to the inner workings of the College theatre, and it seeks to foster a sense of appreciation for dramatics by encouraging active participation in the
field.

The following pages explain the basic costs to the student and
the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting
these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of
tuition, board, room or fees at any time.
The college does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Many of the gifts that come in are
through legacies, matching gifts from corporations and Lutheran
Brotherhood, Minnesota Private College Contract, and congregations and congregational organizations. Most of the funds,
however, come from individual gifts. These contributors include
alumni, parents and friends of the college. There are two programs
to which people have committed themselves. They are the Loyalty
program, where one may pledge $400 to be paid over a four-year
period, and the Inasmuch program, where one may pledge $1,000 or
more to be paid over a four-year period. We believe that the Lord
answers prayer as we tell our friends what our needs are and ask
them to join us in participation by prayer and by giving.

FINANCIAL AID
23
Financial Aid
Golden Valley Lutheran College is concerned with the financial
problems of students who wish to continue their formal
education. In order to assist students with inadequate financial
resources, the Financial Aid Committee coordinates a program of
financial aid based on the student's academic achievement,
special abilities, and financial need.
Basically, there are three sources of financial aid:
Federal Government
State of Minnesota
Golden Valley Lutheran College
There are three forms of aid:
Gift Aid
Loans
Student Employment
All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic
year, but students may expect to receive their financial assistance
for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal
standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during the quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift
aid that was awarded from College funds for that quarter as well as
proportionate amounts awarded from state or federal funds for that
quarter.
GIFT AID
Gift Aid is a categorial name given to all awards from GVLC
plus the Pell Grant (formerly BEOG), Supplemental Education
Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and th'e Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program (MSS/G). Such awards do not have to be
repaid.
24
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Pell Grant:This grant is provided by the Federal Government
based on financial need. The amount is derived from uniform
methodology, using family and student financial information. All
students applying for financial assistance at GVLC are required to
apply for this grant.
Golden Valley Lutheran College President's Scholarship: This
scholarship is available only to the gifted student who has
demonstrated outstanding leadership in a given field and attained
an unusual degree of academic excellence. A recipient must be
ranked in the upper ten percent of his or her high school or college
class and be willing to provide leadership in music, sports, theatre
or other college related activities. The President's Scholarship may
be awarded without regard to financial need but if a recipient has a
demonstrated financial need, the Federal and State guidelines for
financial assistance must be followed. The amount of the
scholarship may vary depending upon circumstances.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant: Awarded by the
Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC
to make awards of $200 or more to students who show financial
need based on uniform methodology.
Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid: Includes all awards
granted for scholarship, athletics, Christian service, drama and
music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are
based on demonstrated excellence in specified areas and financial
need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family
Financial Statement. The GVLC GiftAid awarded to new students is
based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded
to returning students is based on participation and achievement
while enrolled at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the
student's account each quarter.
Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program: Available to
qualified Minnesota residents each year depending upon financial
need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC
are expected to apply for this aid. Contact your high school
counselor or the GVLC Financial Aid Office for exact information
because requirements and deadlines vary from year to year.
Other Grants: There are a number of grants and scholarships
available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult
his/ her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at
GVLC for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants.
FINANCIAL AID
25
DEFERRED PAYMENT LOANS
National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)- Federal NDSL Loans
are available to students who have financial need and have been
accepted for ad mission to Golden Valley Lutheran College.
Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the
student completes his/her studies. The interest rate is 5%, and
repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the
loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or
specified military duty.
Guaranteed Student Loans: The Student may borrow up to
$2,500 per year at 9% interest from a bank and the federal
government will pay the interest during the time the student is in
college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% interest during the
repayment period.
When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to
$2,500 per year at 9% interest from the Minnesota State Student
Loan program. First year students are limited to$1,500 per loan, but
may apply for a second loan under the $2,500 limit. The federal
government will pay the interest during the time the student is in
college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% interest during the
repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC
Financial Aid Office.
Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students: When necessary an
application can be made for a Parent Loan for Undergraduate
Students (PLUS). The parent can apply for up to $3,000 per
academic year to be used for educational expenses. This is a 14%
loan and repayment must begin 60 days after disbursement, with
terms to be worked out with the lender. The Financial Aid Office has
a list of private institutions which are participating in this program.
Our list, however, is incomplete and parents are free to inquire at
the lending institution of their choice.
Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's
family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student
may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood
Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal
Insured Student Loans.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT
College Work-Study Program-Golden Valley Lutheran College
participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The
student's eligibility depends on his/her financial need and individual skills.
26
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Student Part-time Employment- The College offers a variety of
campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous
part-time employment positions available in the Twin Cities and
surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available.
PROCEDURE FOR APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID
Any student wishing to apply for financial aid must first make
proper application through the admissions department and be
admitted to the college.
The basic forms to determine financial aid need are the Family
Financial Statement (FFS) from ACT, or the Financial Aid Form
(FAF) from CSS. Many qualified students fail to receive financial
assistance because they neglect to get their financial statements
submitted on time. Minnesota residents must file their FFS by April
1, 1982 to be eligible for priority consideration from the Minnesota
State Scholarship/Grant Program.
As soon as all pertinent information has been assembled, our
Office of Student Financial Aid sends the applicant student an "Aid
Package." A student must accept the aid package within 15 days to
be guaranteed the funds .
Because of the many Federal and State changes in financial
assistance to students, it is necessary to expect students to
contribute part of their summer earnings toward the cost of
education. The Federal Government also has established an
amount that each family is expected to contribute to the
educational expenses of a son or daughter.
In summary, it is believed that Federal and State assistance
programs, plus the financial aid available through Golden Valley
Lutheran College, places two years of quality college education
within the reach of all who desire it.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The AAL Lutheran Campus Scholarship Program is for
students who hold a certificate of membership and insurance

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
29
The Academic Program
Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year
completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and
Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational
Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. In addition there are specialized programs of
study available for certain qualified students who do not seek a
graduation award.
The academic program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is basically liberal arts and allows one to concentrate in the area of general
education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation.
Students who eventually plan to attain a four-year liberal arts degree are encouraged to get the general education requirements satisfied while at GVLC, thus allowing them to concentrate chiefly on
their major and minor areas of study during the last two years of
college.
General education courses ask the student to know something of
the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he
or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological
studies.
GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Credit Load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to
this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's

Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an
Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or
credits.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a
grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each
term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or

progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her
grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or
her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one
quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any
quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the
grade point average is raised to 1.50 or above. The College
reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic
performance is regarded as unsatisfactory.

each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused
absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to
learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major role in
one's development of a philosophy of life. This consequently determines
how one lives his or her life.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main
purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a
philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a
personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of
both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will
best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be
living and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a
desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the
Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to
provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President
GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERALI F RMATION
History
Golden Valley Lutheran college is a two-year coeducational liberal arts
college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute
moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden
Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the
years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of
people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs
appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly
affliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks
to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified
men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and
religious backgrounds.
The Campus and Its location
Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre
campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater
Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper
Midwest.
The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level
complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer
chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are
located in this building.
Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta
dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include
fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation,
and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student
center is located in Delta dormitory.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Philosophy and Objectives
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with
programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music,
physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide
two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and
sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the
Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis
for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged
to participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers
students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise
and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or
university.
2.
Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work,
missions, secretarial work, social service, recreational leadership,
law enforcement and a cooperative computer training program.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for
individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semiprofessional program.
Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular
programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ...
to develop knowledge of the Judea-Christian world view as set
forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an
analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic
beliefs and spiritual commitments.
to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young
adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including
social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations.
to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through
courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in
the metropolitan area.
to attain physical well-being through the application of standards
conducive to good health and through participation in physical
education and sports activities.
to develop personal self-confidence through the determination
of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people
and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting.
GENERAL INFORMATION

Accreditation and Transfer of Credit
Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation
through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in
July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they
make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their
credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. Students
who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited
transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are
listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most
religion courses are transferable. A student with a satisfactory academic
record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic
years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley
Lutheran College.

General Guidelines
Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel
and expects its students to live accordingly.
The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct
themselves in a manner which is not in the best interest of the individual,
other students, or the College. Each student is expected to be familiar
with the regulations and standards pertaining to student conduct as
described in the Student Life Handbook.
STUDENT LIFE
11
STUDENT LIFE
Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and
experiences which help develop the whole person. The programs of the
College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual
and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social
activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships.
New Student Pre-Registration
Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the
campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the
student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and
meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the
coming year.
Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become
familiar with and adjust to college life.
Counseling Services
The major decisions which students have to make during their early
college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a
service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic,
vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in
planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In
addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned
with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other
problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to
visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College
nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve
their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills,
study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this assistance should
register for one of the Personal Orientation courses listed in the Course
Description section.
Health Services
The College has a full-time registered nurse on the staff to provide basic
medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually
referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from
the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible.

COLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
library
The iibrary, iocated on the ground fioor of the Main buiiding provides
a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula. There
are over 30,000 volumes, 247 periodicals, local and national newspapers,
and a substantial vertical file in the collection. In addition, there is a
sizeable audiovisual collection including phonograph records and
cassettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary listening and viewing
equipment available to the students.
Insurance
The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or
damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies
that will cover losses of family members at college.
Housing Services
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If
space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls.
E~ceptions are those who commute from their homes, or who work for
their board and room. All students living on campus are required to
participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day,
seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with
the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed
during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase either their
noon or evening meal in the College cafeteria.
Student Government and Social life
A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in
campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student
body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life
more enjoyable.
The social program of the College is under the supervision of the
Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the
Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available.
Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by the student Judiciary Board.
Religious life
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran
College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its
program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel
services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services,
all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the
Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are co-ordinated
by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith &
Life Commission.
STUDENT LIFE
13
Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the
community and in world mission activities. The College has a Fellowship
of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part.
There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to
present the Gospel in word and song.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel
program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of
worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while
others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation
programs.
The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It
is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is
given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a
sense of community.
Each student is encouraged to participate in the chapel services of the
college community and to attend public worship every Sunday.
Student Use of Automobiles
Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need
an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are
urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an
automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the
business office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit
at any time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no
responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles.
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Golden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from
using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in college-approved
housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be
subject to disciplinary action. In instances where college officials are
informed that Golden Valley Lutheran College sturlents have caused a
disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol or drugs
the College reserves the right to take disciplinary action.
Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state statutes
pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student who uses,
possesses, or persuades someone else to use alcohol or drugs in violation
of the law will be subject to disciplinary action. The College's action will
be determined by the circumstances surrounding each individual case.
The College provides counseling services and support groups for those
with chemical dependency problems.

Music
Golden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and spir"1tual
values that music contributes to our society. It desires, therefore, to
cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music by

a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble
which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Golden Valley
Singers, a women's chorus; a pep band and concert band; the Golden
Valley Orchestra, a community and college organization; and various
vocal and instrumental ensembles. In addition to specific courses in the
field of music, the College offers private voice and instrumental
instruction.
The location of the College in the Twin City area provides opportunity
for students to gain a new appreciation of the fine arts. Community
concerts, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, the
St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and programs given by other colleges
including the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities
for cultural enrichment.
Drama
The drama program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is two-fold in its
purpose. It attempts to expose the student to the inner workings of the
College theatre, and it seeks to foster a sense of appreciation for

COSTS
Student Costs 1983-84
The following explains the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs.
The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room
or fees at any time.
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do
not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately
35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the
present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year.
Therefore, over and above all help given, each student receives the
equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total
expenses of the operation.
The College does not receive direct financial support from any
denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from
Lutheran Brotherhood and other corporations.
Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni,
parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the
College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged
and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make
our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these
many friends.

FINANCIAL AID
23
Fl ANCIAL AID
Golden Valley Lutheran College is concerned about the financial
problems of students. In order to assist students who have inadequate
financial resources, the Director of Financial Aid coordinates a program
of financial aid based on a student's academic achievement, special
abilities, and financial need.
Basically, there are three sources of financial aid:
Federal Government
State of Minnesota
Golden Valley Lutheran College
There are three forms of aid:
Gift Aid
Loans
Student Employment
All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year.
Students, however, may expect to receive their financial assistance for
the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing
and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any
quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been
awarded from College funds for that quarter. He or she also forfeits
proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for
that quarter.

worked out with the lender. The Financial Aid Office has a list of private
institutions which are participating in this program. Our list, however, is
incomplete and parents are free to inquire at the lending institution of
their choice.
Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family
holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow
up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society
at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans.

College Work-Study Program - Golden Valley Lutheran College
participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's
eligibility depends on his or her financial need and individual skills.
Student Part-time Employment - The College offers a variety of
campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous parttime employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding
suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of
opportunities available.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Procedure for Applying for Financial
A :...J
tቢuu
Any student wishing to apply for financial aid must first make proper
application through the admissions department and be admitted to the
College.
The basic forms used to determine financial aid need are the Famil)"'
Financial Statement (FFS) from ACT, or the Financial Aid Form (FAF) from
CSS. Many qualified students fail to receive financial assistance because
they neglect to get their financial statements submitted on time.
Minnesota residents must file their FFS by April 1, 1983 to be eligible for
priority consideration from the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant
Program.
As soon as all pertinent information has been assembled, the Financial
Aid Office sends the student an aid package. The student must
accept the aid package within 15 days to be guaranteed the funds.
Students are expected to contribute part of their summer earnings
toward the cost of education. The Federal Government also has
established an amount that each family is expected to contribute to the
educational expenses of a son or daughter.
We believe that Federal and State assistance programs, plus the
financial aid available through Golden ValJey Lutheran College, places
two years of quality college education within the reach of all who desire
it.

for any Lutheran American minority person who is a member of a

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
29
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year
completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and
Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program),
and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is
awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum.
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows
a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and
theological studies, or a specific vocation.
Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy
general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran
College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on
their major and other requirements during the last two years of college.
General education courses invite the student to learn about the world,
the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts
and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and
theological studies.
General Academic Information
Credit load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per quarter. Exceptions to this
credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's academic
advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the
Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more credit-hours per
quarter are considered full time students. Individuals with less than 12
credit-hours are considered part-time students. A student who has
earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A
student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a
sophomore.
The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities
are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are
required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the
same as costs for credit.
30
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Grading and Honor Point System
A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each
quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number
of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points
are computed by the following scale:
Honor Points
Per Credit
Grade
Superior
4
for A.A. Degree
A

3

*Incomplete work, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the
fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student desires an
extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the
instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee
for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F.
**Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term
are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after
the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each
quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may
not drop a course after final examinations begin.
***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which
are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An
S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate
only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U
grade yields no honor points or credits.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade
point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those
students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included
on the Dean's List.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
31
Academic Progress
In accordance with policies established by the administration and
faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to academic progress
toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point
average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more
grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average
falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation until the
grade point average is raised to 1.50 or above. The College reserves the
right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded
as unsatisfactory.
Eligibility for Varsity Sports
Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley
Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic
Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity
sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the
qualifying and competing quarter. During the qualifying quarter, he or
she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of
course work listed in the College Catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in
their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter
requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all
hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a
student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.)
No student shall be certified on an eligibility list until the College has
received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date
and any college transcript(s), if another college has been previously
attended. The responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the
individual student.
Credit by Spedal Examination
Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or
exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies.
Transfer Students
The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered
on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not
included in the computation of the grade point average.
Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for regular class attendence and for
completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused
absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's
responsibi I ity to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's
policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the
instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a course for an excessive
number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments.
32
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward
the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria
established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of
the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0
average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of
four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of
relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study
applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at
least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the
College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to
complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course
each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement.
All degree seeking students are required to register for English until
the sequence, English 111and112 - College Composition, and English
113 - Introduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in
English 100, 110, or 111 will be determined by specific English Placement
tests administered to all new students during student orientation in the
fall, or at the time of their registration for winter or for spring quarters.
Co-Curricular Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward
an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical
education are not included in this category. Co-curricular activities
include all music ensembles, Theatre Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses
are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to
the College.
With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a
student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter
may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced,
at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
Orientation and Registration
All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as
indicated in the calendar in this catalog.
The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality
tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and
counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are
required to register on the days indicated in the calendar.
Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for
the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
33
Changes in Registration
Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident
mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of
classes, with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of
Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office.
After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except
by special permission.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been
received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of
registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F
grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned
will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both
grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record.
Withdrawals from the College
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term,
must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar.
Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund
privileges and result in an F grade in all classes. Partial refunds on fees
already paid will be based on the date the application was signed and
returned to the Registrar's Office.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
35
GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her
program includes all requirements for graduation.
Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan their college
program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about
how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with his or her
academic advisor, the Registrar, or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a
petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the
Committee on Academic Affairs.

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major role in
one's development of a philosophy of life. This consequently determines
how one lives his or her life.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main
purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a
philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a
personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of
both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will
best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be
living and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a
desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the
Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to
provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President

GENERAL INFORMATION
History
Golden Valley Lutheran college is a two-year coeducational liberal arts
college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute
moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden
Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the
years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of
people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs
appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly
affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and
seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified
men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and
religious backgrounds.
The Campus and Its location
Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre
campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater
Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper
Midwest.
The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level
complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer
chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are
located in this building.
Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta
dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include
fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation,
and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory
is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center
is located in Delta dormitory.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Philosophy and Objectives
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution w1tn
programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music,
physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide
two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and
sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the
Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis
for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged
to participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers
students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise
and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or
university.
2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work,
mission, secretarial work, sodal service, recreational leadership,
law enforcement and a cooperative computer training program.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for
individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semiprofessional program.
Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular
programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ...
to develop knowledge of the Judea-Christian world view as set
forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an
analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic
beliefs and spiritual commitments.
to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young
adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including
social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations.
to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre th rough
courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in
the metropolitan area.
to attain physical well-being through the application of standards
conducive to good health and through participation in physical
education and sports activities.
to develop personal self-confidence through the determination
of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people
and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting.
GENERAL IN FORMATION
11
Accreditation and Transfer of Credit
Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation
through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in
July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they
make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their
credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. Students
who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited
transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are
listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most
religion courses are transferable. A student with a satisfactory academic
record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic
years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley
Lutheran College.

General Guidelines
Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel
and expects its students to live accordingly. Each student is expected to
be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to student
conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook.
The College reserves the right not to accept an applicant or to
withdraw the privilege of a student to return after any quarter and to
discipline those who conduct themselves in a manner which is not in the
best interest of the individual, other students, or the College.
STUDENT LIFE
13
STUDENT LIFE
Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and
experiences which help develop the whole person. The programs of the
College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual
and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social
activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships.
New Student Pre ... Registration
Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the
campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the
student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and
meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the
coming year.
Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become
familiar with and adjust to college life.
Counseling Services
The major decisions which students have to make during their early
college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a
service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic,
vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in
planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In
addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned
with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other
problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to
visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College
nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve
their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills,
study skills, or writing skills.
Health Services
The College has a full-ti me registered nurse on the staff to provide basic
medical services. Stu'dents requiring additional treatment are usually
referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from
the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible.
14
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Library
The library, located on the ground floor of the Main building, provides
a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula. There
are over 30,000 volumes, 247 periodicals, local and national newspapers,
and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota
Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has
access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state
area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including
phonograph records and casssettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary
listening and viewing equipment available to the students.
Insurance
The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or
damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies
that will cover losses of family members at college.
Housing Services
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If
space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls.
Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or who
work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in
the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a
week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the
knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a
week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in
the College cafeteria.
Student Government and Social Life
A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in
campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student
body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life
more enjoyable.
The social program of the College is under the supervision of the
Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the
Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available.
Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by the student Judiciary Board.
STUDENT LIFE
15
Religious life
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran
College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its
program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel
services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services,
all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the
Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are coordinated
by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith &
Life Commission.
Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the
community and in world mission activities. The College has a Fellowship
of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part.
There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to
present the Gospel in word and song.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel
program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of
worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while
others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation
programs.
The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It
is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is
given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a
sense of community.
Each student is encouraged to participate in the chapel services of the
college community and to attend public worship every Sunday.
Student Use of Automobiles
Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need

Student Costs
1984~85
The following explains the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs.
The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room
or fees at any time.
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do
not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately
35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the
present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year.
Therefore, over and above all help given, each student receives the
equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total
expenses of the operation.
The College does not receive direct financial support from any
denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from
Lutheran Brotherhood and other corporations.
Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni,
parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the
College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged
and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make
our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these
many friends.

education. Our program of financial assistance is designed to help
qualified students who desire a Golden Valley Lutheran College education.
Golden Valley Lutheran College Aid
Academic Scholarships are awarded to those students who graduate in
the top quarter of their high school class or to transfer students who have
a 3.00 grade average with a minimum of 12 hours. Scholarships vary in
amount and are renewed each year provided the recipient maintains a
3.00 grade average in academic work at Golden Valley Lutheran College.
Presidential Scholarships are special awards to students graduating in
the top 5% of their high school class.
Activity Awards are available to students who show special abilities in
music, drama, art, or athletics. These awards are based on recommendations from coaches and professors with respect to talent and ability to
perform. Athletic recipients also must abide by the rules and regulations
of the Minnesota Community College Conference.

been active in their church and community. Aspects of Christian service
or leadership that are considered include, but are not limited to,
teaching, music, volunteer work and counseling.

other friends of the College. These funds are for students whose
qualifications meet the conditions and requirements of the specified
award.
Minnesota State Aid
Minnesota State Scholarships and Grants are available to Minnesota
residents planning to attend one of the eligible Minnesota colleges.
Awards are based on financial need and educational costs and may range
up to $3,251 per year.

and Grant-In-Aid applicants.
26
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Federal Government Aid
Pell Grants are available frorn the federal government for students
meeting certain financial need qualifications. Such grants may total up to
$1,900 per year and do not have to be repaid. Students may apply for this
grant by checking the appropriate box on either the ACT Family Financial
Statement or CSS Financial Aid Form.
National Direct Student Loans are funded by the federal government
and administered by the College. Loans are granted on the basis of
validated financial need. The loans are made at an interest rate of 5% with
the student paying neither interest nor principal until six months after
graduation or leaving college. Repayment must be completed within 10
years.
Guaranteed Student Loans enable eligible students to borrow directly
up to $2,500 annually from participating banks or other lenders at an
interest rate of 8%. Repayment of loan principal and interest begins six
months after graduation or leaving college.
The Minnesota Student Loan Program provides Guaranteed Student
Loans to eligible students who are unable to find a participating lender to
fund them.
Parent Loans for Undergraduate Student (Plus). This program helps
parents borrow money to pay for their children's cost of attending
postsecondary schools without the constraint of collateral securing the
loan. Parents of undergraduate students may borrow $3,000 per year for
each dependent, undergraduate student to a maximum of $15,000 per
student. Repayment begins within 60 days of disbursement. Normal
repayment is made over a five to ten year period at an interest rate of 12%.
The number and amount of each payment depends on the size of the
debt and the parents' ability to pay. The minimum repayment is $600 per
year. PLUS loans do not require a needs test.
Work Opportunities
College Work - Study enables students who demonstrate financial
need an opportunity to help defray college expenses through part-time
employment. Work - Study students may be employed in the cafeteria,
in maintenance, as clerical assistants to professors, library and audiovisual assistants, resident assistants, or in other available positions.
Student Employment. There are numerous part-time employment
positions available in the Golden Valley community and the surrounding
area. Our College bulletin board carries notices of available employment.
Other Assistance Programs
College Payment Schedule: Because most people prefer to pay
educational expenses in installments, Golden Valley Lutheran College
has set up a tuition payment plan. This plan is a convenient payment
program beginning in June and ending in February.
Hidden Subsidy: Golden Valley Lutheran College gives a "hidden
subsidy" each year to every student who attends the College as a full-
FINANCIAL AID
27
time student. This "hidden subsidy" reflects the fact that the total
instructional program at the College costs more than the total amount
received from tuition and fees. Such a "hidden subsidy" is made possible
by gifts from many sources, especially church congregations, alumni, and
friends of the College. The College also receives income from endowment funds.
Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family
holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow
up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society
at the same rates described under Federal Insured Student Loans.
Other Grants - There are a number of grants and scholarships
available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or
her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at Golden
Valley Lutheran College for other federal, state, and communitysponsored scholarships and grants.
Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid
1.
To apply for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College, request
an application form from the Office of Admissions, Golden Valley
Lutheran College, 6125 Olson Highway, Golden Valley, MN 55422.
2. If you are applying only for Golden Valley Lutheran scholarships and
grants - and not for state or federal grants - indicate this on the
Golden Valley Lutheran College Financial Aid Application.
3. To apply for federal or Minnesota aid you must complete a Family
Financial Statement and a Student Data Form using income information
for the 1983 tax year and submit it to ACT. Forms are available from
your high school guidance counselor or by writing the Office of
Admissions at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Although the FFS is
preferred, non-Minnesota residents may submit the CSS Financial
Aid Form. Allow six to eight weeks for processing of the ACT Family
Financial Statement.
4. Since all financial aid programs have limited funds, within ten days of
our notifying you that you will receive financial aid you must let us
know that you accept the offer. Funds that are not accepted are given
to other students who need them.
All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year.
Students, however, may expect to receive financial assistance for the
second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if
their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter,
he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded
from College funds for the quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate
amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter.
Golden Valley Lutheran College makes every effort to enable all
accepted students to attend regardless of financial resources. Your
financial need may be met through a combination of federal, state, and
institutional financial aid programs. We encourage students and parents
to visit campus to discuss financial planning.

Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year
completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and
Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program),
and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is
awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum.
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows
a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and
theological studies, or a specific vocation.
Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy
general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran
College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on
their major and other requirements during the last two years of college.
General education courses invite the student to learn about the world,
the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts
and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and
theological studies.
General Academic Information
Credit load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to
this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's
academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be
granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more
credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with
less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has
earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A
student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a
sophomore.
The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities
are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are
required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the
same as costs for credit.

are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An
S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate
only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U
grade yields no honor points or credits.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade
point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those
students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included

grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average
falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation until the

sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the
qualifying and competing quarter. During the qualifying quarter, he or
she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of
course work listed in the College Catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in
their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter
requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all
hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a
student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.)
No student shall be certified on an eligibility list until the College has
received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date
and any college transcript(s), if another college has been previously
attended. The responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the
individual student.
Credit by Special Examination
Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or
exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies.
Transfer Students
The actual number of credits accepted in transfer from other institutions
are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade
points are not included in the computation of the grade point average.
Transfer credit will not be granted for courses in which a grade below
C- was received.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for regular class attendance and for
completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused
absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's
responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's
policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the
instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a course for an excessive
number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments.
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward
the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria
established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of
the department in which he or she plans to do the study. Standards
require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is
taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a
demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at
least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the
College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to
complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course
each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement.
All degree seeking students are required to register for English until
the sequence, English 111and112 - College Composition, and English
113 - Introduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in
English 100, 110, or 111 will be determined by specific English Placement
tests administered to all new students during student orientation in the
fall, or at the time of their registration for winter or for spring quarters.
Co-Curricular Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward
an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical
education are not included in this category. Co-curricular activities
include all music ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses
are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to
the College.
With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a
student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.Sfor a quarter may
have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at
the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
35
Orientation and Registration
All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as
indicated in the calendar in this catalog.
The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality
tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and
counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are
required to register on the days indicated in the calendar.
Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for
the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office.
All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty
advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with
his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the
proper courses is the individual student's responsibility.
Changes in Registration
Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident
mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of
classes, with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of
Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office.
After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except
by special permission.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been
received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of
registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F
grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned
will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both
grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record.
Withdrawals from the College
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term,
must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar.
Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund
privileges and result in an F grade in all classes. Partial refunds on fees
already paid will be based on the date the application was signed and
returned to the Registrar's Office.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
37
GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her
program includes all requirements for graduation.
Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan their college
program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about
how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with his or her
academic advisor, the Registrar, or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a
petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the
Committee on Academic Affairs.

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

President's
Greeting
Experiences during the first year after high school play a major role in
one's development of a philosophy of life. This consequently determines
how one lives his or her life.
Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy
of life founded on Christian convictions.
We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both
liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best
help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living
and working.
We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a
desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the
Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life."
Bernt C. Opsal, President
GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
History
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal
arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute
moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden
Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the
years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of
people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs
appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly
affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and
seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits
qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic,
racial, and religious backgrounds.
The Campus and Its Location
Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre
campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater
Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper
Midwest.
The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer
chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are
located in this building.
Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta
dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include
fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation,
and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student
center is located in Delta dormitory.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Philosophy and Objectives
Colden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical
development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two
years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences,
and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian
faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to
participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Colden Valley Lutheran College offers
students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and
that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university.
2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, mission,
administrative assistant, law enforcement, and a cooperative computer training program.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semi-professional
program.
Colden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular
programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ...
to develop knowledge of the Judeo-Christian world view as set forth
in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on
the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and
spiritual commitments.
to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults
as they move into the many areas of national life, including social
improvement, community involvement and active membership in
Christian congregations.
to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through
courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in
the metropolitan area.
to attain physical well-being through the application of standards
conducive to good health and through participation in physical
education and sports activities.
to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of
individual goals, the building of relationships with other people,
and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting.

STUDENT LIFE
Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and
experiences which help develop the whole person. The programs of the
College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual
and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social
activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships.
New Student Pre-Registration
Prior to the start of the fal I quarter, new students are invited to the
campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the
student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and
meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for
the coming year.
Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become
familiar with and adjust to college life.
Counseling Services
The major decisions which students have to make during their early
college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a
service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her
in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term.
In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and
other problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the
College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve
their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills,
study skills, or writing skills.
Health Services
The College has a full-time registered nurse on the staff to provide
basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are
usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a
mile from the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Library
The library, located on the ground floor of the Main building, provides
a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula. There
are over 32,000 volumes, 245 periodicals, local and national newspapers,
and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota
Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has
access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state
area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including
phonograph records and cassettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary
listening and viewing equipment available to the students.
Insurance
The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or
damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies
that will cover losses of family members at college.
Housing Services
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If
space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls.
Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or
who work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in the cateteria program which provides three meals a day, seven
days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21-meal plan is set with the
knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a
week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in
the College cafeteria.
Student Government and Social Life
A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in
campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student
body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life
more enjoyable.
The social program of the College is under the supervision of the
Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the
Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available.
Guidance regarding student life on campus is provided by the Student
Life Handbook.
STUDENT LIFE
15
Religious Life
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley
Lutheran College believes that religious life activities are an integral part
of its program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled
chapel services, campus worship services, transportation to local church
services, all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian
student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer &
Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities
are coordinated by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and
by a student Faith & Life Commission.
Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the
community and in world mission activities. The College has a fellowship
of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part.
There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to
present the Gospel in word and song.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are worship services
conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include
films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs.
Chapel is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that
messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is given for
worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a sense of community.
Each student is encouraged to participate in chapel programs of the
college community and to attend public worship every Sunday.
Student Use of Automobiles
Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need
an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are
urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the Business
Office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit at any
time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no
responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles.

GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Colden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from
using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in college-approved
housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be
subject to disciplinary action. In instances where college officials are
informed that Colden Valley Lutheran College students have caused a
disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol or drugs
the College reserves the right to take disciplinary action.
Colden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state statutes
pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student who uses,

Through the physical education and athletic programs the College
seeks to teach the value of good health and physical fitness, to cultivate
interest in the proper use of leisure time, to develop character and good
sportsmanship and to give instruction in various sports and games used in
recreational activities. Intercollegiate athletic competition for men is
available in football, baseball, basketball, soccer, track, marathon, and
cross country. Women may participate in intercollegiate basketball,
cross country, softball, volleyball, marathon and track competition. The
College is a member of the Minnesota Community College Conference,
and the National Junior College Athletic Association.
Intramural programs are available for both men and women. These include activities such as volleyball, basketball, broomball and softball.
Music
Colden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and
spiritual values that music contributes to our society. It desires, therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music

selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble
which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Colden Valley

St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and programs given by other colleges including the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities for
cultural enrichment.

its purpose. It attempts to expose the student to the inner workings of the
College theatre, and it seeks to foster a sense of appreciation for drama
by encouraging active participation in the field.

colleges, was established in 1981 at Golden Valley Lutheran College. The

former students to maintain an on-going relationship with the College
and with each other. It seeks to develop a well-informed and supportive

register for the fall quarter. This tuition deposit is applied to the
first quarter tuition when the student enrolls.

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

26
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Federal Government Aid
Pell Grants are available from the federal government for students
meeting certain financial need qualifications. Such grants may total up
to $2,100 per year and do not have to be repaid. Students may apply for
this grant by checking the appropriate box on either the ACT Family
Financial Statement or CSS Financial Aid Form.
National Direct Student Loans are funded by the federal government
and administered by the College. Loans are granted on the basis of validated financial need. The loans are made at an interest rate of 5% with
the student paying neither interest nor principal until six months after
graduation or leaving college. Repayment must be completed within 10
years.
Guaranteed Student Loans enable eligible students to borrow directly
up to $2,500 annually from participating banks or other lenders at an

undergraduate student to a maximum of $15,000 per student. Repayment

Work Opportunities

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

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
31
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year
completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the
Junior College Certificate.
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which
allows a student to concentrate in the areas of general education,
Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation.
Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy
general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran
College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on
their major and other requirements during the last two years of college.
General education courses invite the student to learn about the world,
the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts
and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies.
General Academic Information
Credit load and Student Classification
A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to
this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's
academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be
granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more
credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with
less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has
earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A
student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a
sophomore.
The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities
are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are
required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are
the same as costs for credit.
32
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Grading and Honor Point System
A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each
quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of
earned honor points by the number of credits attempted. Honor points
are computed by the following scale:
Honor Points

*A grade of I will be granted to a student for reasons beyond the
student's control if the student has done satisfactory work prior to the
emergency and after consultation by the student with the course instructor. Incomplete work must be made up satisfactorily by the end of
the fourth week of the next term the student attends or within one year if
the student does not return to Colden Valley Lutheran College. If a
student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure
approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic
Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed in the
allotted time, the grade becomes an F.
**Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term
are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after
the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each
quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may
not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin.
***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which
are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S
counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate
only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U
grade yields no honor points or credits.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade
point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those
students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included
on the Dean's List.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
33
Academic Progress
In accordance with policies established by the administration and
faculty, a student will be r:ounseled in relation to academic progress
toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point
average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more
grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average
falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation. The
College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory.
A student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter
may have co-curricular activites curtailed or programs of study reduced
at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
U nsatisfadory Academic Progress
For purposes of reporting, a full-time student shall be considered as
making unsatisfactory progress if the student fails to earn 31 credits within each academic year.
Eligibility for Varsity Sports
Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley
Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport,
a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying
and competing quarter. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter.
(See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.)

received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date
and any college transcript(s), if another college has been attended. The
responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the individual student.

Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for regular class attendance and for completing work as required in each class. With respect to absences or makeup work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At
the discretion of the instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a
course for an excessive number of absences or uncompleted assignments.
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward
the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of the
department in which he or she plans to do the study. Standards require a
3.0 average in the department in which the Independent Study is taken, a
limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration
of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study
applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at
least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to
complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course
each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement.
All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the
sequence, English 111 and 112-College Composition, and English 113lntroduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in English as
a Second Language and English 100or110, or 111 will be determined by
specific English Placement tests administered to all new students during
student orientation in the fall, or at the time of their registration for
winter or for spring quarters.
Co-Curricular Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward
an Associate in Arts Degree. Co-curricular activities include all music
ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and
activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College.
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
35
Orientation and Registration
All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog.
The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality
tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required
to register on the days indicated in the calendar.
Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement
for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office.
All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty
advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with
his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the
proper courses is the individual student's responsibility.
Changes in Registration
Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes
with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course
Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After
the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by
special permission. A student may not withdraw from a course after final
examinations begin.
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been
received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of
registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F
grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned
will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both
grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record.
Withdrawals from the College
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term
must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar.
When the application has been signed and returned to the Office of the
Registrar, grades of W will be recorded for all courses. Partial refunds on
fees already paid will be based on the date that the application is returned to the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may
deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all
classes.

Lutheran Deaconess Hospital was founded in 1888. The first building with a
maximum bed capacity of twelve was a frame dwelling at 2731 Hennepin A venue.
Young women called into the service of the Master as deaconesses cared for the patients. In 1891 the first building on the present site was purchased and remodeled for
hospital use. The sick continued to be cared for by deaconesses, graduates and
students.
In 1916, on the foundations laid by the Diaconate, and in response to the demands
for more adequately prepared nurses, Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of
Nursing was established under the direction of Miss Inger Bergh. The ideals of Christian service which inspired the pioneering deaconesses became also those of the leaders
who followed. Since the beginning, the School has offered a three year diploma program in basic nursing, preparing nurses to take the examinations leading to state
registration (R.N.). Continuous efforts have been made to meet nursing needs of people through many periods of social change.
Lutheran Deaconess Hospital is located within the metropolitan area of Minneapolis
and participates in the delivery of health care to the inner city residents. The present
bed capacity is two hundred forty-five.
In 1967 a nursing school building, Anna Bergeland Hall, was completed. This
building provides school offices, classrooms, library, lounges and recreational facilities
in addition to dormitory rooms for nursing students.
In 1973 Lutheran Deaconess Hospital entered into a consolidation with the Fairview
Hospitals to form the Fairview Community Hospitals.
In 1976 with the closing of Fairview Hospital School of Nursing, Lutheran
Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing became the school for the Fairview Community
Hospitals.

PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing is in harmony
with the Statement of Mission of the Fairview Community Hospitals of which
Lutheran Deaconess Hospital is a member.
The School of Nursing faculty believes that:
NURSING is a science and an art which seeks to preserve and promote health by
meeting physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient as a member of
family and community. As a profession, nursing is the unique integration of the art of
caring with the application of the natural and behavioral sciences. The nursing process
is used to facilitate a person's ability to adapt and to move toward self-actualization.
EDUCATION is a life-long learning process, integrating and developing knowledge,
attitudes and skills. Through participation in the learning process, the learner should
be able to lead a full and purposeful life and function as a responsible citizen.
Specifically, nursing education provides systematic direction and guidance in using
scientific principles and the art of nursing to facilitate the development of knowledge,
attitudes and skills necessary for professional nursing.
LEARNING involves changes in the learner's cognitive, affective, and psychomotor
responses. Learning is an active, continuous process influenced by the learner's intellectual ability, experience, environment, and attitudes. Facilitation of learning occurs
when education is sequential and proceeds from simple to complex as students advance
in the educational program and when opportunities for practice are provided concurrently with theory. In addition, a Christian and democratic atmosphere promotes learning. Christian faith instills a spirit of love which promotes the ideas of worth of the individual and of service to one's fellow man, and the democratic process promotes
respect for the rights of others and for their opinions together with freedom to explore
and question.
The ROLE OF FACULTY is to facilitate the learning process by providing an environment conducive to acquiring knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to give
professional nursing care. The faculty assumes the responsibility for planning, implementing, evaluating and revising learning experiences. The STUDENT shares the
responsibility for his own learning and self-development through self-involvement and
utilization of guidance which fosters self-direction.
5
The SCHOOL meets its commitment of service to the community by preparing a
safe practitioner who responds to the health needs of the community as a member of
the interdisciplinary health care team by promoting wellness, intervening during illness,
and rehabilitating to optimum functioning. The school is responsible for meeting the
student's educational needs through providing a curriculum based on scientific fact,
current knowledge, sequential learning, continuity, and integration of major areas of
nursing. Furthermore, the school assumes the responsibility to provide an educationally prepared faculty who functions as effective instructors and role models, and requires
a high standard of performance by the student to meet the school's responsibility to the
community. Lastly, the school assumes the responsibility of providing the appropriate
and necessary facilities to allow for the optimum interaction of the students and the
faculty through the use of the curriculum.

to enhance her performance of previous roles when the client is in a crisis situation and
to expand the student's teaching to groups. It introduces the role of the nurse as a
health counselor in various primary health care settings. This level also includes the
study of medical ethics.
LEVEL IV
During this level, the student completes an advanced level Management of Patient
Care course, which affords opportunities to apply principles of leadership in the nursing process and to supervise the care of individuals and groups of patients with multiple
and critical problems. The theory relative to collaborating and advocating is examined
as the student cares for clients in complex situations. Interactions with the health team
and with groups in the community help the student develop leadership skills.
At each level of the curriculum, there exists a set of courses or course that reflects a
disciplinary or a synthesis of disciplinary and competency based learning designs. The
disciplinary based learning design is featured in the courses offered at Augsburg College and in the classroom component of each course taught at the School of Nursing,
because this design stresses the importance of theory, its role in the curriculum, and the
changing nature of theory. The competency based learning design is featured in the
clinical component of the School of Nursing courses because it allows the student to
systematically apply theory to the nursing process through the mastery of specific nursing skills.
27
Curriculum Organization
Four levels of learning have been identified and courses are provided at each level to
assist the student in achieving the objectives at each of the levels. Such a curriculum
design was developed and implemented because it provides a continuous and sequential
learning environment that emphasizes a simple to complex learning approach.

LEVEL I
This level consists of fundamental science and psychosocial courses and introductory
courses in nursing and the health care system. Anatomy and physiology, chemistry,
microbiology, psychology, and English courses are taken at Augsburg College located
near the School of Nursing. These courses provide the essential scientific and social
scientific foundations upon which the nursing curriculum is developed. At the School
of Nursing, fundamental nursing skills and attitudes are developed through introductory nursing courses utilizing basic scientific principles and correlated clinical experiences. The emphasis is on the healthy individual, the client, and the nurse. The
nursing process is introduced as the student learns to assume the comforting and protecting roles for her clients.
LEVEL II
The second level focuses on maintaining and promoting an individual's abilities to
meet health needs and assisting individuals in meeting these needs. Courses at this level
feature an emphasis on illnesses and representative common medical-surgical conditions that affect the adult client. The nursing process, a problem-solving approach to
meet both physical and psychological needs of the client and his family, becomes an
important means for translating theory into practice. The student begins to practice the
therapeutic role and to incorporate teaching in her care of patients, and she begins to
include the family to a greater extent. This level also includes the study of historical and
contemporary trends in nursing and advanced courses in psychology, religion and
sociology.

groups that are sponsored by the churches or other religious organizations. As part of
the School's annual program of religious emphasis, six mission interest meetings are
held during the school year. The Good News Committee schedules chapel devotions
and plans activities for the annual spiritual emphasis week. The Taiwan project is a
plan in which one Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing graduate annually
is given the opportunity to serve for a two-year period in the Chiayi Christian Hospital
in Taiwan. These arrangements are made with the Board of World Missions of the
American Lutheran Church.
ESTIMATED COST OF PROGRAM
Tuition and fees are estimated below. Effort will be made to keep charges as
estimated. However, all tuition and fees are subject to changes as necessary.
PAYMENT PLAN
Pre-admission charges (not refundable)
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Students automatically become members of the Deaconess Student Association (DSA)
of Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing when they are admitted to the
School. Through this organization students learn self-direction, self-discipline, leadership and responsibility, thus helping them to adjust to group living and to their future
roles as professional nurses. Each class selects its own officers who conduct the
business and guide the activities of the class. A faculty member serves as an advisor for
each class.
STUDENT PROFESSIONALISM
Each student is encouraged to become a member of the State and National Association
of Nursing Students. Participation in these organizations fosters an opportunity for
students to develop an interest in and a need for membership in professional organizations as a registered nurse.
SOCIAL-CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
The Big Brother and Sister activities assist new students in becoming oriented and adjusted to the School. The School of Nursing has a choir directed by a qualified Director. Periodically this choir gives concerts of both religious and contemporary music,
and every spring the choir goes on a tour. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the rich cultural environment which the Twin Cities provide by attending concerts, operas, ballets, theaters, films, museums, art galleries, sporting events and other
cultural-recreational events. There are limited funds made available from Lutheran
Deaconess Hospital Auxiliary for students to attend community cultural events.

"'r
1 he most important key to developing a collective will to
overcome many of our commonplace problems is leadership.
Certainly leadership is characterized by more than knowing. It is
also more than acting. It is ultimately defined in coalescing others
to act when they otherwise might not have. Leadership, including
teacher leadership, is ultimately proven in the efforts of others to
attempt to scale heights of human achievement and plunge depths
of human caring not otherwise envisioned."

Attendance Policy
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to
one's self, but to one's classmates and the course instructor.
Irregular attendance may, at the discretion of the instructor,
adversely affect one's grade.

6,Jntroduction to the
Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership
Developing Leaders for Education
The Masters of Arts in Education-Leadership is a program for
educators who value and enjoy their direct contact with
students and want to retain that focu in their careers. It is a
program that at the outset promotes the imp rtance of teaching.
It is also a program that values the role educators can play as
leaders within their places of work.
People who become part of this Master of Arts program will
have opportunities to:
• Examine what "leadership" is and who leads;
• Explore who they are as leaders, both within an educational
setting and outside of it;
• Gain specific knowledge of education and leadership that
can support their development; and
• Develop skills that can increase the effectiveness of their
leadership.
This program values the role that good educators play in the
lives of students and operates from the belief that educators
need to exercise leadership within the workplace without relinquishing the role of teacher.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in L adership pr gram is designed to meet
the needs and preferences ol working adults. The pr gram is
bas don the assum,ption 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
period of tudy, group effort and clas pr paration. To accommodate this format for learning, each cla s meet on alternate Saturdays for thr e-and- ne-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours.
Leadership Development Model
Th Ma ter of Art in Education-L adership program promotes
leadership as a pl'oce which 1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for limit d resource , 2) pr motes
productivity within and beyond the organizati n, and 3) works
toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to
positions of leadership must possess thre k y attributes: a
sen e of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct
action. Underlying thes attributes is a broad range of abilities
and awarenesse . Thes abilitie and awarenesses, outlined in
the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the

Master of Arts in Education-Leadership. Augsburg's model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance
and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is participation in a community of learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the
program a variety of work and life experiences.
. ...
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg
encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities
such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to
take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college
activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic
events.
Leadership Practicum
Master of Arts in Education-Leadership students enroll in a half
course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to
enroll in this professional assessment and development course
for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon
completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half-course
credit.
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 3). 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 focused on dimensions of leadership.
In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of students in the following
areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group
processes, and other professional development topics identified
by graduate students and staff. These workshops are developed
by students enrolled in the course "Creativity and Problem
Framing. " The Assessment and Leadership Practicum also asks
students to focus on leadership opportunity within their
workplace, or in an appropriate volunteer setting. Students will
develop a learning agreement which outlines the scope of their
project and what they hope to accomplish and learn through that
project. Students will be supported throughout this project by
peer and faculty coaching sessions which meet as an ongoing
part of the Assessment and Leadership Practicum.
B urriculum Design
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program is
composed of 12 courses. Each course uses a variety of learning
techniques appropriate to adult learners including case study,
debate, written and oral seminar presentations and small group
activity. These courses develop targeted leadership abilities
and understandings as a boundary crossing endeavor in need
of the leadership skills and visions of people from all levels of
an organization.
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership will provide opportunities for students to:
conceptual frameworks of leadership
issues of leadership
history of education
current issues in education
conceptual models of teaching and learning

1 he most important key
to developing a collective will to
overcome many of our commonplace problems is leadership.
Certainly leadership is characterized by more than knowing. It is
also more than acting. It is ultimately defined in coalescing others
to act when they otherwise might not have. Leadership, including
teacher leadership, is ultimately proven in the efforts of others to
attempt to scale heights of human achievement and plunge depths
of human caring not otherwise envisioned."

Introduction to the Master
of Arts in EducationLeadership
Developing Leaders for Education
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is a program for
educators who value and enjoy their direct contact with
students and want to retain that focus in their careers. It is a
program that at the outset promotes the importance of teaching.
It is also a program that values the roles educators can play as
leaders in their places of work.
People who become part of this Master of Arts program will
have opportunities to:
• Examine what '1eadership" is and who leads;
• Explore who they are as leaders, both within an educational
setting and outside of it;
• Gain specific knowledge of education and leadership that
can support their development; and
• Develop skills that can increase the effectiveness of their
leadership.
This program values the role that good educators play in the
lives of students and operates from the belief that educators
need to exercise leadership within the workplace without
relinquishing the role of teacher.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program is
designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults.
TI1e program is based on the assumption that the men and
women who enroll are employed, self-disciplined and wellmotivated individuals who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction and individual study. Each course is,
therefore, divided into periods of study, group efforts and class
preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each
class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours
and alternate Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours.
Leadership Development Model
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program promotes
leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes
productivity within and beyond the educational organization,
and 3) works toward progress within the educational community. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of
leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade and the ability to direct action. Th ese
abilities and awarenesses, outlined in the diagram on page 5,

serve as specific outcomes for the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership. Augsburg's model of leadership development is
designed to assess, promote, enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership is participation in a community of learners. Leaming can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable
community that provides opportunity and encouragement for
active participation both in and out of the classroom. This
community will be enriched by the presence of men and
women who bring to the program a variety of life and work
experiences.
-. '
~·
..
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg
encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities
such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center;
to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to
participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other
college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
Leadership Practicum
Master of Arts in Education-Leadership students enroll in a half
course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to
enroll in this professional assessment and development course
for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon
completion of the entire practicum sequence, students receive a
half-course credit.
Early in the program, a major component of the practicum is a
full day assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model. Assessment instruments include paper and p_encil
exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the
assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor
who provides guidance in personal goal setting and in the
creation of a professional development plan focused on dimensions of leadership.
In subsequent terms, "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of students in the following
areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group
processes and other professional development topics as identified and designed by participants. Also included is the opportunity for participants to develop and monitor a leadership
project within their workplace.
Curriculum Design
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is composed of ten
course credits composed of eight full credit and four half credit
courses. Each course uses a variety of learning techniques
appropriate to adult learners including case study, debate,
written and oral seminar presentations and small group
activity. These courses develop targeted leadership abilities and
understandings as a boundary crossing endeavor in need of the
leadership skills and visions of people from all levels of an
organization.
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership will provide
opportunities for students to:
•

3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard
"
.: .·.·
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade
point average)
N
Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and
non-punitive - not computed in grade point average)
W Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after
the registration period .
I
Incomplete grade given when a student is unable to
complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must
file a petition with the Graduate Programs Office stating
reasons for the request, the plan and date for removing the
incomplete grade, the signature of the instructor and any
other necessary documentation.)
No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count
toward the degree. Students who receive an N in a course must
successfully petition the Master of Arts in Education-Lead ership Committee before being allowed to continue in their
program. If a second grade of N is received, the student may be
dismissed from the program.
No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be
repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time
are counted in the grade point average.
Attendance Policy
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed and analyzed
in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and
should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but
to one's classmates and course instructor. Irregular attendance
may, at the discretion of the instructor, adversely affect one's
grade.
Academic Policies
Academic Probation and Dismissal Policies
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If
a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on
probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point
average must be restored in order for a student to be removed
from probation. If a student receives a grade of Nin a course, the
student must petition successfully with the Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership Program Committee before being allowed
to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow
would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N is received,
the student may be dismissed from the program by the Master of
Arts in Education-Leadership Program Committee. Students
may also be dismissed by the Master of Arts in EducationLeadership Program Committee for behavior detrimental to the
program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as published
in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed.
Credit for Prior Education
Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The
only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those
whose course content is comparable to those in the Master of
Arts in Education-Leadership program. No more than two
courses will be accepted for transfer credit.
Credit and Contact Hours
Each full credit graduate course in the Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership program is the equivalent of four
semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in class a
total of 31.5 hours and are responsible for a significant amount
of individual study and preparation.
Enrollment Policy/Leaves of Absence
Students may take either one or two courses per term plus
Leadership Practicum. Enrolling in two courses per term
enables a student to complete the program in under two years.

considered on the basis of petition to the Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership Program Committee.
Students who leave the program for more than one term must
request a leave of absence in writing from the Associate Dean of

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

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

(2.5-4.5 course credits)
These courses are offered to
degree and non-degree seeking
students. A maximum of 4.5

periodically.
Focus II: Education
Leadership Courses
(4.5-6.5 course credits)
These courses are required of
students pursuing the MEL
degree and are not available to
students who are not enrolled in
the degree program. Educational
leadership courses provide
students with a supportive framework within which to investigate
leadership and the institution of
education, to consider themselves as leaders, and to develop
expertise in a topic of choice.
Both thesis and applied project
options are available as capstone
research experiences .
At least one of these three courses
is required for the MEL degree:

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

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

WELCOME TO THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
We are pleased that you are interested in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE)
program, which offers teaching licensure within a master's degree. Augsburg has a
long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout
Minnesota. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue
your teaching dreams and goals-and here's why.
OUR PHILOSOPHY. The Education Department program theme-Teacher as
developing professional from classroom decision-maker to educational leadersuggests the expectations we have that our students will leave our programs prepared
to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the institution. Our
department mission statement goes beyond leadership to also lay out our expectations
for fostering "student learning and well-being by being knowledgeable in content,
being competent in pedagogy, being ethical in practice, building relationships,
embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively. "
Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through course content, field experiences, and
classroom instructors. Our goal is that students leave our programs prepared to be knowledgeable, collaborative,
capable beginning teachers who imbue their practice with ethics, tolerance, and compassion.
OUR FACULTY. Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct
instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12
settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field
experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do
and what you hope to do . We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers.
OUR ACCESSIBILITY. We realize that though teaching is your dream, your reality likely includes work, family, and
personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face , we offer flexible scheduling. A
majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage
these responsibilities while pursuing your goals.
As a student in Augsburg's Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among
interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified
teacher-the teacher you can become.

I Elementary education with a middle school specialty. Specialty
areas in communication arts, math, and social studies are available
through this program. The science specialty is available through a
combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend courses. All
education courses are available through weekend and weekday
evening courses.
I Secondary and K-12 education. Undergraduate majors in licensable content areas serve as the foundation for secondary
and K-12 education licensure. These majors are evaluated by Augsburg's content area departments to determine
remaining content area courses necessary for licensure. In general, a minimum of two courses within the licensure major
must be completed at Augsburg. Social studies, art, and communication arts/literature are available entirely through
weekend and weekday evening classes. Other licensure majors are offered primarily through weekday courses, including
biology, chemistry, health education, mathematics, music education, physical education, physics, and theatre arts. All
education courses are available through weekend and weekday evening courses.
I Special education. Licensure areas in special education include emotional/behavioral disabilities and learning disabilities.
These programs, designed primarily for people who have already earned a baccalaureate degree and now want a
teaching license, are comprised of two distinct parts.
First is the licensure component. If you are seeking licensure and qualify for admission into the MAE program, you can take
a portion of the licensure courses at the graduate level. While these courses do not fulfill all MAE degree requirements, they
form the core of the master's degree.
Second is the graduate degree completion component. Between four to six licensure courses completed at the graduate level
with a 3.0 or better cumulative GPA can be applied towards the MAE degree. Once licensure is achieved, you can continue
to take graduate classes in education and leadership to complete the MAE degree.
-
Already licensed teachers can work towards the MAE degree through the following options:
I Special education E/BD and LD
I Reading licensure
People seeking an education-related master's degree who do not want licensure can pursue an MAE degree, as well. These
programs are made up of a core of graduate level education courses plus additional courses in leadership.
Whether seeking licensure and/or a master's degree, this program allows you to change or enhance your career while fulfilling
your family and professional commitments in the company of adults with similar goals.
PROGRAM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg
Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and
communities.
,.
The leadership focus plays out in two ways. First, the additional work required in
focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well a:
requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required
courses from our Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. This provides the :
aspects of leadership as part of their degree program.

LICENSURE COMPONENT
The K-6 elementary with a middle school specialty license
allows you to teach in grades K-6 and in your specialty
area of math, science, social studies, or language arts in
middle school. Augsburg Weekend College offers this
license to people who already hold a bachelor's degree and
meet admissions requirements, as well as to people seeking
a bachelor's degree.
Licensure requirements are offered at undergraduate/
graduate level. That means classes will consist of both
undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate
students having additional course responsibilities. The
graduate course numbers are taken at the 500 level.
The following requirements are offered at both the
undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be
taken for licensure, and between four and six may also be
applied toward the master's degree in education.

*Field experience hours are required in these courses. A
minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related
settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend
approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS
The number of supporting liberal arts courses required for
licensure depends upon the courses taken previously as part
of the bachelor's degree. Requirements are determined by:
I Minnesota licensure standards for specific college level
coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science
for all students seeking elementary licensure.
I Minnesota licensure standards in a specialty area for
middle school. Subject area specialties are offered in
language arts, social studies, math, and science.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure
program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C
or better was achieved. The Education Department
determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts,
course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make
these determinations.
In limited cases, life experience can be considered as a
substitute for specific program requirements. In such cases
students must provide significant evidence of competency
in the affected standards. The College's Applicat~on of Prior
Learning (APL) process is used as a framework. The
Education Department determines what is accepted.
-
K-12 and 5-12 licensures in several content areas are
offered in Weekend College through a combination of
graduate and undergraduate coursework. Education
requirements are offered primarily on a weekend schedule
(along with a limited number of weekday evening courses) .
Graduate-level licensure coursework is available to people
who already hold a bachelor's degree and meet admissions
criteria.
The following majors are offered almost entirely through
Weekend College: communication arts/literature, history or
economics or psychology or sociology (all for social
studies), studio art.
The following requirements are offered at both the
undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be
taken for licensure, and four to six may also be applied
toward the master's degree in education.
People seeking 5-12 licensure in social studies and biology,
chemistry, or physics must complete a broad-based core of
courses in their selected field in addition to the major.
Previous coursework is accepted when appropriate. This is
part of the evaluation of major coursework.

LICENSURE COMPONENT
Learning Disabilities Core
There are two licensure options in the K-12 Special
Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities, and
learning disabilities. Both of these programs qualify you to
teach in special education programs and positions. Many
students get licensure in both emotional/behavioral and
learning disabilities.
Students wishing to earn a Learning Disabilities licensure in
addition to a Emotional/Behavioral licensure will take the
above courses in the Emotional/Behavioral core, and two
additional specialty courses.

course. Students currently working in schools can often use
their school employment for their field experience.
**These courses are taken during the internship year. A
significant amount of contact with students labeled EBD or LD
is required. The ideal situation for the internship year is to be
working in a K-12 setting with these students. Students not
currently employed in schools must be available for extensive
volunteer field placements during the internship year.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure
program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C
or better was achieved. The Education Department
determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts,
course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make
these determinations.
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply to the Special Education program,
students must:
I have college credits, an associate degree, or degree and/or
licensure in another field; and
I be currently employed in a K-12 setting as a
paraprofessional or licensed teacher; and/or
I have experience working with students who are labeled
with emotional, behavioral, or learning disabilities, as
well as considerable time available for volunteer field
placements.
-
Innovative Model
This program is based on an internship model that allows
coursework and experience to occur simultaneously In
addition to student teaching, students must complete two
40-hour field placements where they will gain experience
working with students from age groups different from their
internship site.
This program is built on an inclusive education model.
Under this model, students learn how to work closely with
both special and regular educators to facilitate inclusion of
special education students into the regular education
classroom.
Augsburg College also offers a K-12 Reading Endorsement program. This endorsement has been established to provide teachers
with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their knowledge and practices in the area of reading instruction.
Candidates for this license will complete 4.5 credits of coursework that have been designed to meet the requirements
established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill requirements for
the Master of Arts in Education degree.
These courses include:
EED 520
K-6 Methods: Reading (LO)*
ESE 500
Reading/Writing in the Content Areas (LO)*
EDC 505
K-12 Literature in the Classroom (.5)
EDC 508
K-12 Reading Assessment and Evaluation (LO)
EDC 510
Clinical and Reading Program Leadership (LO)
EED 320/520 and ESE 300/500 are offered to both undergraduate and graduate students. EED 320/520 is part of the
elementary and special education initial licensure programs, and ESE 300/500 is part of the secondary initial licensure
program. The rigor of the course is increased for those taking it at the graduate level. The following policies apply for
licensed teachers seeking the reading endorsement:
I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg
College or completers of Augsburg licensure programs within the past seven years will not be required to retake the
entire version of EED 520 or ESE 500. However, they will be expected to complete the requirement for the graduate
portion of the course that they may have taken at the undergraduate level (EED 320 or ESE 300) within the context of a
half-credit graduate level independent study. If the graduate level of the course was taken as part of the initial license
(EED 520 or ESE 500) within the past seven years, students do not need to repeat it or do the independent study.
I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduate/completers of
Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be required to take EED 520 and/or ESE 500 at the graduate level.
I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are not graduates of Augsburg
College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500 at the graduate level as part of the endorsement program.
STUDENT TEACHING
All education students are required to complete student teaching in their content area. In the MAE program, student teaching
is completed after the core education classes are completed, but before the master's completion electives and final project.
Student teaching generally lasts for 12 weeks; however, it may vary slightly for some specific content areas. During that
time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for
two credits of student teaching, and meet at Augsburg College for a student teaching seminar three times during the term.
Most placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. However, students do have the opportunity to teach
abroad, where students do half of the student teaching experience in the metro area, and the remaining portion in
another country. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful opportunity to
build a global perspective in education.
-
Students progress in graduate coursework during the licensure program. The licensure coursework forms the Master of Arts
in Education core, with up to six Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling the master's requirements.
Declaration of Intent to Complete
Students who have been admitted into the MAE program must formally declare their intent to complete the master's degree
beyond licensure. This can be done any time during coursework, and up to one year after completing student teaching.
Students have seven years to complete the degree after filing the intent to complete form
The declaration of intent is made to the MAE program coordinator. Graduate-level courses in which a 3.0 or better is
achieved will be accepted into the degree program. If a graduate course is graded 2.5 it can be accepted into the MAE
degree completion program as long as the cumulative GPA remains at 3.0 or higher. A maximum of two courses at 2.5 can
be used to complete the MAE degree. Students need nine graduate-level courses to complete the MAE. Between four and six
courses can be drawn from the appropriate core; the remaining courses will be education or leadership requirements and
electives.
Once graduate-level students have declared their intent to complete the master's degree, they are eligible to take Master of
Arts in Leadership and other education graduate courses. If education graduate courses are used as electives in the degree
completion component, they must be drawn from a pool of education non-licensure courses offered at the graduate level. In
most cases students will complete the licensure component prior to the graduate degree.
The MAE program is also open to students seeking a master's degree without licensure. Students taking this path file Intent
to Complete forms with the MAE program director prior to taking their first graduate-level course. The same GPA standards
apply (3.0 or better on coursework) and the core of the graduate program is made up of four to six graduate-level licensure
courses, plus the degree completion options outlined for those seeking licensure. The difference is that these students are
not required to complete the undergraduate courses in education and liberal arts that are required for licensure.
Graduate Degree Completion
To earn a master's degree beyond the core of education classes, students
will need to successfully complete a minimum of three additional
graduate-level courses. They are:
I A research methods course, typically ML 514
I An elective course, chosen from leadership-focused courses in the Master
of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program (see page 11)
I A research- or leadership-based final project
Students bringing fewer than six graduate-level licensure courses into the
degree program must complete additional leadership or education
graduate courses to reach the total of nine required courses.
-
The research methods course will help prepare students to evaluate and
document research for use in their final project or paper. In this course, both qualitative and quantitative research methods
will be examined. The leadership elective courses allow students to examine issues of leadership at a personal or
institutional level. The goal for the graduate degree completion component is to foster the development of teachers as
leaders within the institution and community as is in line with our program theme and department mission statement.
FINAL PROJECT OPTIONS
Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in
Education final project, which serves as the capstone of the
master's program: a Leadership Application Project or action
research.
LEADERSHIP ELECTIVE OPTIONS
The Leadership Application Project is a research-based study
that links issues of leadership and education with the degree
candidate's personal interests. The character of the project will
vary with the nature of the investigation and the materials
involved, but will always be application oriented. The central
component of the Leadership Application Project is the
demonstration of leadership ability through a concrete
research-based project appropriate to the candidate's
workplace or place of service. Students taking this option will
register for EDC 585 Independent Study and work closely
with a project adviser from Augsburg College.
ML510
Visions of Leadership
ML 511
Creativity and Problem-Solving
ML 520
Self Identity, Values, and Personal
The second option is action research in education. Action
research is a collaborative, self-reflective research method
designed to be used in real situations, and is aimed at solving
real problems. The goal of action research is to gain better
knowledge of one's practice while improving the situation in
which the practice is conducted. This option is composed of
two half-credit courses taken in sequential terms. The first
course, EDC 586, introduces students to action research, a
form of research that simultaneously contributes to the
practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of
social science. The second course, EDC 587, is focused on
collecting and analyzing data. It culminates in a symposium
where students present their research in a public forum.

EVALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAE program will
be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below.
Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the
course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order
to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No
more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the
degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be
repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are
counted in the grade point average.
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0
1.5
1.0
Achieves the minimum passing standard
Performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point
average)
N
Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and nonpunitive-not computed in grade point average)
W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar
that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor's
signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion. The student must complete
the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final
day of the following academic term. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade
for the course becomes a 0.0.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course
instructor.
-
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND
DISMISSAL POLICIES
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point
average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student
will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0
cumulative grade point average must be restored in order
for a student to be removed from probation. If a student
receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must
petition successfully with the MAE program director
before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan
for the student to follow would be outlined at that time.
If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may
be dismissed from the program by the MAE program
director. Students may also be dismissed by the MAE
program director for behavior detrimental to the
program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as
published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur
only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Students may petition the MAE program director for
approval of any variation in the curriculum including the
transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an
individual basis.
The only courses that will be considered for transfer
credit are those earned from accredited colleges and
universities, whose course content is comparable to those
in the MAE program. No more than two courses will be
accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Each full-credit graduate course is the equivalent of four
semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in
class a total of 28 hours and are responsible for a
significant amount of individual study and preparation.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS
The last date on which students may withdraw from a
class and receive a "W" on their records is published
annually in the Weekend College class schedule and on
the Weekend College Web site <www.augsburg.edu/weccurrent> and on the registrar's Web page at

Community of learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is
participation in a community of learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that
provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation
both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched
by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of
community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to
make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and
college center; to take the opportunity of having shared meals and
coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to
attend other college activities such as music and dramatic
presentations and athletic events.
leadership Practicum
.
I·
Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called
"Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll in this
professional assessment and development course for six terms
during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the
entire practicum, students receive a half course credit. In each
term, one Saturday and one Thursday evening are devoted to
"Leadership Practicum."
Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a fullday professional assessment to determine students' abilities and
potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership
Development Model (see page 7) . Assessment instruments
include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group
experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually
with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal
setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or
"blueprint:'
In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops
designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas:
communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes,
and other professional development topics identified by graduate
students and staff.
"Leadership Practicum'' concludes with a final assessment followed
by an individual meeting with a trained assessor.
The Master of Arts in Leadership program is composed of 12
courses. Each course unites two or more liberal arts disciplines,
ncournge pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety
of learning t clrniqu app ropriate to adult learners. In tructional
techniques ar varied, u h as ca e tudy, d bate, written and oral
presentations and group c ctivity. Th s tech niques, which have
had demonstra ted ·ucce in advanced cour e , d v lop targeted
l ader hip abilities and understandings. Continual reinforcement
occur·, s students employ these capacities in multiple c urses.
Students ar encouraged to c abilili sand understandings as

D valuation Standards
Evaluation of academic performance for the Master of Arts in
Leadership will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale
with these definitions:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point
average)

W
Grade given when course is dropped
Incomplete grade given in case where student is unable to
complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control (to receive an incomplete, a student must file
a letter with the Graduate Program staff stating reasons for the
request, the plan and date for removing the incomplete grade,
the signature of the instructor, and any other necessary
documentation) .
Not more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count
toward the degree. Not more than two courses with a grade below
2.0 can be repeated . Only the credits and grades earned the second
time are counted in the grade point average.
Alcademic Policies
Academic Probation and Dismissal
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a
student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on
probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point
average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from
probation. If a student receives a grade of Nin a course, the
student must petition successfully with the Graduate Program
Committee before being permitted to continue in the program. A
plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If the
cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.0, the student
may be dismissed from the program by the Graduate Program

curriculum. Students may petition the Graduate Program
Committee for approval of any variation in the curriculum
including the transfer of credit or the receipt of credit for other
training.
Credit and Contact Hours
Each graduate course in the Master of Arts in Leadership program
is the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter credits.
Students meet in class a total of 30 hours (excluding finals) and are
responsible for a significant amount of individual study and
preparation.
Enrollment Policy/Leaves of Absence
Students may take either one or two courses each trimester.
Enrolling in two courses per trimester enables a student to
complete the program in two years. All students are required to
complete the program within four years. Extensions beyond four
years will be considered on the basis of petition to the Graduate
Program Committee. Students who leave the program for more
than one term must request a leave of absence in writing from the

ability to achieve soluti ns consistent with an organization's
mission;
•
the abil ity to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to

Those who hope to lead had better understand both rationally and
intuitively the people who might be their followers, and the society
in which they are embedded. They had better comprehend the
values of our common culture, past and present, know how our
political and economic systems work, and understand how and
why science has changed the world ... Leaders need specialists as
advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ... At higher levels of leadership they cannot achieve their full
potential without considerable breadth of knowledge. Only this
way can they shape the contexts for decisions where expert
knowledge is used.

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 aspiring to enhance their leadership skills may
discover and refine these and other abilities and awarenesses
fundamental to effective leadership.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed to meet
the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is
based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll
are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals
who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction
and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into
periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours.
Leadership Development Model
The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people
who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works
toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to
positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a
sense of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct
action. Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities
and awarenesses. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in
the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the
Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership
development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and
refine these capabilities within the individual.

Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is
participation in a community of learners. Learning can be.
enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and encouragement for active
participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who
bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences.
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg
encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities
such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center;
to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to
participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other
college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
Leadership Practicum
. .,
.· .·.·
Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course
called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll
in this professional assessment and development course for six
terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course
credit. In each term, specific activities related to the practicum
are scheduled.
Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a
full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership Development Model (see page 7). Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and
group experiences. Following the assessment students meet
individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in
personal goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint."
In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures,
group processes, and other professional development topics
identified by graduate students and staff.
.Liurriculum Design
Master of Arts in Leadership students are required to complete
12 courses and a thesis. Each course unites two or more liberal
arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to
adult learners. Instructional techniques are varied, such as
case study, debate, written and oral presentation and group
activity. The e techniques, which have had demon trat d
succes in advan d courses, develop targeted leadership
abilities and understandings. Continual reinforcement occurs
as students employ these capacities in multiple courses.
Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as
cross-disciplinary and to see content areas as integrated. The
very form of the program reflects the view that the world in
which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative ability.
Required Courses Include:
ML 500
ML 510
ML 590
ML 591
ML 592
Leadership Practicum (a half course which
spans six trimesters)
Foundations of Leadership (to be taken during
one of the first three trimesters)
Thesis-Research Seminar I
Thesis-Research Seminar II (These two seminars
are to be taken in a student's last two consecutive
terms.)
Thesis Consultation (a half course to be taken
simultaneously with ML 591 and in the term in
which the thesis is completed)
Students are required to complete eight additional
courses chosen from the following courses:
ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process
ML 520 Self-Identity, Values and Personal Growth
ML 521 Methods of Critical Thought
ML 530 Ethics in Communication

Master of Arts in Leadership Committee. Students who leave
the program for more than one term must request a leave of

trimester allows the student to be classified as full-time. One
course is considered half-time enrollment. The Office of Student Financial Services (330-1046) assists students in assessing
financial aid eligibility and offers 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.
Funded Scholarships
Augsburg actively pursues outside funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships enables 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 provides several payment plans by which employees
may handle tuition reimbursement.
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Tribal and State Indian
Scholarships
American Indian students who meet federal, state or tribal
requirements may apply for these scholarships. Indian grants
generally supplement other sources of financial aid. For assistance in application please contact Augsburg's American
Indian Support Program Director at 330-1138 or your tribal
