Introduction to Interim Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 '12 weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their courses. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for graduation. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 course credits required for graduation. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult the registrar for the number of Interim courses required. Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time students (fall term). If less than full-time, they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a cross registration but will be charged day school tuition ($1,564) per course credit. If they do so they may take only 1.0 additional course credits in Weekend College for winter trimester.

Options International Interim-Students are invited to participate in the international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE) and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on page 45. Some courses have early registration deadlines. Internships deadline-Friday, December 11. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental requirements and present a signed internship-learning agreement plan to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first day of Interim classes. The learning-agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning internships is available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning. Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements 2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4- 1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs are available in the registrar's office. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing, or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,564 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Office of the Registrar for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Office of Residence Life. It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199,299,399, or 499 courses.

Prerequisite: Junior standing or consenl of the instructor Liberal Arts Perspective: IntercuNural Awareness 1 Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: I Room: Old Main 29 Introduction to Polymer Chemistry and American Plastic CHM 104-J Instructor: Ron Fedie Previously there was the Stone Age, Iron Age, and Bronze Age. Now we live in the Age of Plastics. Without this innovative technology, life as we know it would be much different. The variety of polymer molecules and their properties make up various plastics. Through chemistry the variations are endless. Many items and materials such as coatings, adhesives, leisure/sports equipment, construction supplies, automobile parts, clothes, medical supplies, cosmetics, and others used every day come from different polymer molecules. In this course we will explore and discuss the world of polymer chemistry with a special focus on plastic. There are both synthetic and natural polymers. Most plastics come from synthesized polymers found in "plastic" wrap and trash bags. A common natural polymer, polyisoprene, is collected from the sap of rubber tree-golf balls and latex gloves are just two of its popular uses. The class will also focus on the book American Plastic: A Cultural History by Jeffrey Meikle. Themes from the book, the different types of polymers used, and recent themes such as the recycling of plastics will be discussed. There will be supplemental handouts on some of the important natural polymers not covered in the book. There will be labs in which some polymer molecules will be made and the various properties will be explored. This will help to give a hands-on experience with the seemingly unlimited possibilities of properties in these long chain molecules. Prerequisite:Malh Placement Group 2 Liberal Arts Perspeclive: Natural World 1 or 2 Maximum Enmllmenl: 25 Time: I1 Room: Science 315 Introduction to Computer Science and Communications CSC 160-J Instructor: Larry Ragland This course introduces the major areas of computer science and computer communications.

Students must complete designated hours of fieldwork as well as written and reading assignments. Prerequisite: EOU 282, completion of courses for special education minor, or consent of instructo~ Maximum Enrollmenf: 9 (This course involves fieldworksupe~isionfor the faculty member) Time: 11 Room: Sverdrup 4 American Dialects: Differences and Attitudes ENG 219-J Instructor: John Schmit Language plays an important role in our socialization and acculturation. The way we speak tells others who we are and tells us who others are. Our speech is a reflection of our social and economical standing and our cultural background. For this reason we should expect women to speak differently from men. And yet somehow we do not. We should expect anyone from a different background to have differences of language. Even more importantly, we must understand these differences in order to make sure that we understand speakers from different language communitites. This course will examine the dialects of various English-speaking communities and attempt to describe and understand their rules of speech: their grammatical rules, phonological rules, and their rules on discourse. It will include lectures, student presentations, and student-led discussions. Besides presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the presentation topic and take a final exam. Liberal Arts Perspective: Intercultural Awareness 1 Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: I1 Room: Old Main 29 Topics: Introduction to Asian American Literature ENG 282/382-1 Instructor: Joan Thompson In an essay about multicultural American literature, Walter J. Ong writes that "literature is organized experience and consciousness. Since cultures organize experience and consciousness variously, the study of the literature of another culture opens new vistas both into the exterior world and into the human heart." This course will explore some of these vistas through readings and discussions of nonfiction works, poetry, short stories, a play, and a novel by Asian American authors. Some ideas the writers take as subjects through their art include definitions of an Asian American voice, explorations of cultural and individual identity, visions of community, and coming of age. Class sessions will include discussion of the historical and social contexts that influence the writers studied. In addition to the reading, students will view at least one Asian American film and possibly attend a relevant performance or reading. Course grades will be based on reading journal, a short paper, a final exam, class attendance, and participation. Upper division students will read an additional novel and write a research-based paper on it. Liberal Ads Perspective: Intercultural Awareness 1 Maxium Enrollment: 25 Time: I1 Room: Old Main 16 Topics: The Heroic Journey ENG 282-J Instructor: Joan Griffin "The hero:' says Joseph Campbell, "is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations to the generally valid, normally human forms." This struggle, the heroic journey, is a quest for wholeness, for harmony with oneself, one's society, and even the universe. The journey may be physical, moral, psychological, or spiritual, but it always concludes with the regeneration of the hero and/or the redemption of the hero's society. This course will study archetypal patterns of the heroic journey as well as specific examples of such journeys, emphasizing the work of Joseph Campbell, but also citing studies of the hero by Lord Ragland, Carol Pearson, and Richard Slotkin, among others. We will note that major heroic genres in western traditionthe epic and romance-almost always assume that the hero is usually a warrior and aristocrat. Thus we will analyze typical elements of the heroic warrior myth as depicted in ancient and medieval epics and romances, but will also pay particular attention to its appearance in contemporary American popular narratives. We will consider the implications of the enduring popularity of this rendition of the heroic journey. The heroic journey, however, is a human journey, and thus the course will also emphasize the heroic journeys of women as well as of men who may be neither aristocratic nor warriors. As a lower division literature course, ENG 282 does not assume that the student is proficient in literary analysis. Rather the course will help students develop analytic and critical reading, thinking, and writing abilities. Course requirements: There will be 15 class meetings, each lasting three to four hours. Course grades are based on class attendance and participation as well as on daily writing and formal papers. If you must miss more than one or two classes or frequently leave class early, you should not take this course.

How do we attempt to secure that understanding? Why is history biased? Can there be history without bias? Should history have entertainment as a goal? These questions, and others, form the basis for an inquiry into the writing of history and the portrayal of historical characters, events, and themes depicted in the cinema. Filmmakers have presented history in ways ranging from the mundane to the sublime. In this course we will view selected films and through readings, lectures, and discussions examine some of the successes and failures of "History by Hollywood." This course is intended for first-year students. Others may enroll with permission.

Intercultural principles are studied in the context of personal, national, and global differences. Students identify the factors that shape their ways of seeing the world and, through experiential activities, discover how similar factors help shape distinctive ways of seeing the world among those who are culturally different. Specific cross-cultural competencies are then presented to help students embrace a diverse and complex world. In addition to required readings, students will be evaluated on the basis of a journal (15 percent), completion and analysis of a self-assessment questionnaire (15 percent), writing of critical incidents (20 percent) and culture-specific reports (20 percent), and daily quizzes (30 percent). Liberal Arts Perspectives: Intercultural Awareness 1 or Human Identity Maximum Enrollment: 30 Time: I Room: Sverdrup 20 Literacy in the City: Service-Learning Externship INS 298-J Instructor: Garry Hesser The course, taught by the experiential education staff, will explore literacy in the city. Students will work in groups at least two days a week at one of the four literacy centers close to campus.

Beginning Norwegian I NOR I l l - J Instructor Staff This course is for students with no previous background in Norwegian. It aims to develop basic skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing as tools for communication and for understanding Norwegian culture. Classroom practice focuses on both presentation of vocabulary and structures and the use of the language in everyday contexts. Evaluation will be based on participation, daily assignments, quizzes, and a final exam. Liberal Arts Perspective: Intercultural Awareness 2 Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: I1 Room: Science 213 Beginning Russian RUS I l l - J lnstructoc John Van Cleve So where else in this booklet are you going to find a course that spends a third of Interim on the alphabet? It's got four more letters than ours, but some of the letters are the same. There is just one new sound-the same "r" that's in Spanish. The alphabet that features a backwards "R" and an "H"that morphs into an "0"gets a lot of use in international business, in science, and in the arts. More Europeans speak Russian natively than any other language: 170 million native speakers. The course will hit vocabulary, sentence structure, communication, and culture-like any other foreign-language course on campus. And that alphabet means you'll be giggling all the time. Liberal Ads Perspective: lnlercullural Awareness 2 Maximum Enrollmenl: 30 Time: I Room: Old Main 22 Spanish and Latin-American Culture Through Film SPA 248-J lnstructoc Romin Soto An introduction to the main cultural and political issues (social conflicts, sexism, race, ethnicity, religion, language, exile, or immigration) that characterized contemporary Spanish and Latin-American societies as they have been portrayed in films and plays. Developed mainly through the viewing of films and class discussions, the course is complemented with brief readings and audio-visual materials on the historic, literary, and social aspects that contribute to the background of these films. Most of the films are in Spanish with English subtitles, and all the class work is in English. The evaluation is based on class participation; brief weekly, writting assignments; and a short term paper. Liberal Arts Perspective: lnlercullural Awareness 1 Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: I1 Room: Old Main 23 * Topics: Sounds and Sights of Europe MUS 179-1 See page 48. Topics: Sounds and Sights of China MUS 2954 Instructor: Robert Karlen Music, art, and architecture, as expressions of Chinese culture over its 5,000-year history, will be examined, studied, and experienced in four of the most important cities of China. While lectures and required readings will provide basic factual material, students will be able to experience Chinese music in concerts and opera performances, examine many forms of art works in museums, and observe Chinese principles of architecture expressed in palaces, temples, pagodas, gateways, and public builidings. There will be opportunities to informally meet English-speaking musicians and artists. Group discussions and assigned readings increase student sensitivity to architecture and other visual art seen in the museums.

Bon Voyage! Sincerely yours, William V. Frame President .I[. 1 E d u c a t i o n a l 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. Inquiries regarding compliance may be directed to the coordinators listed in the Augsburg College Catalog, or to the director of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, Bremer Tower, Seventh Place at Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101.

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.

A i d Augsburg Refund Policy Applies to new and returning Augsburg students who drop a portion of their scheduled course load. Also applies to students who completely withdraw from college and do not receive financial aid.

The Augsburg Refund Schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the account of the student and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc, will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance is determined. Please allow two weeks for a refund. Note: The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit made toward tuition (e.g., deposits; made under the company reimbursement payment plan). Pro-Rata Refund Policy Applies to new Augsburg students who withdraw from all courses during their first term at Augsburg and receive Federal Title IV financial aid. (Federal Title IV financial aid includes the Pell Grant, SEO Grant, Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan, and PLUS Loan.) Tuition, fees, and room costs will be calculated based on the pro-rated portion of the term completed. The student may be eligible for a pro-rata refund up to the 60 percent point in time of the term. The student account will be credited for that portion of tuition and room for which he or she was not enrolled. This calculation will use federal government guidelines. Federal Refund Policy Applies to returning Augsburg students who withdraw from all courses for the current term and receive Federal Title IV financial aid. (Federal Title IV financial aid includes the Pell Grant, SEO Grant, Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan, and PLUS Loan.) Augsburg College is required by federal regulations to complete two refund calculations for students who have completed at least one full term at Augsburg and receive Title IV funds. Refunds will be based on the calculation that provides for the greatest refund of tuition, fees, and room charges to the student's account and the greatest refund of financial aid dollars to the fund from which they were awarded.

Requests for this additional refund must be made to the Petition Committee and must be accompanied by a written report from the attending health professional stating the inability for, or inadvisability of, continued study. Students charged on a singlecourse fee basis who have completed payment of assessed tuition may choose between this partial tuition refund and a tuition-free course retake credit. A retake credit may be used only to repeat the same course from which the student withdrew. This choice between refund and tuition-free retake credit must be made at the time of the request to the Petition Committee, and the choice of monetary refund or retake credit may not be changed subsequently. Students should be aware that their choice of refund or retake credit may adversely affect their financial aid eligibility and that they bear full responsibility for the effects of their choices. Retake credits must be used within one academic year or the next time the course is offered if that is longer than one year.

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.

An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Upper division internships are numbered 399 and lower division internships are numbered 199.

C RADUATION REQUIREMENTS The following are the requirements for a baccalaureate degree: 1) Fulfillment of entry level skill requirements in these areas: Math Placement, Critical Thinking, and Writing (ENG 111 Effective Writing or equivalent) 2) Completion of a major ' 3) Completion of courses that fulfill the following Liberal Arts Perspective requirements: Human Identity (one course) Aesthetics (one course) Social World (two courses from different departments) Western Heritage (two courses from different departments) Intercultural Awareness (one culture course and two courses in a modern language) Natural World (two courses from different departments, except a two-course sequence) Christian Faith (three courses, or as adjusted for advanced transfer status) The City (one course or community service/ internship experience) A single course may fulfill one perspective only. Only one course from a department may be used to fulfill a single category, except Christian Faith, language, and a year long science sequence for Natural World. No more than three courses from any one department may fulfill perspectives. 4) Completion of courses that fulfill the following Graduation Skills: Writing (two courses, one within the major) Critical thinking (one course) Speaking (one course) Quantitative reasoning (one course) These courses must be completed with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P. ?ate: A course may satisfy both a major or minor requirement, a perspective, and a graduation skill requirement. 5) Demonstration of proficiency in two Lifetime Sports 6) Achievement of a Math Placement Group score of 3 (College algebra level ) The following requirements also must be met to graduate: 1) Completion of 33 course credits 1 1 of these must be upper division (numbered 300 and above); no more than 13 courses may be in any one department with the exception of accounting and social work. 2) Maintenance of a minimum grade point average A minimum GPA of 2.0 for most majors is necessary to graduate. A grade point average of 2.0 is required both in overall courses taken and in courses that apply toward the major. Some majors, licensure, and certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see Licensure in Education, Nursing, Social Work.) See departmental section for details. 3) Residency Seven of the last nine course credits must be completed at Augsburg. No less than a total of nine course credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the registrar if an official interpretation is needed. 4 ) Muximums-no more than: Two course credits by independentldirected study Four course credits of Internship Eight course credits with a grade of Pass (P) Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits: two in the major, except elementary education (two in the major plus student teaching) and nursing (no P/N grading is permitted); one in the minor, if approved by the department chairperson. Students who have completed a four-year degree at an accredited college or university may complete a second degree at Augsburg College. Depending on the student's previous degree, completion of a second major (non-degree) may also be an option. Second degree requirements include: a minimum of eight course credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any liberal arts requirements not covered by the previous degree. The responsibility for meeting all degree requirements rests with the student. Academic advisers, department chairpersons, the Advising Center, and the registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Each student must apply for graduation. Students should apply at the start of their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar's Office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incomplete courses or open courses on the academic record). A c a d e m i c (or 2.5 if receiving a Minnesota State Student Grant). 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 the Weekend College Catalog Supplement. SOMEIMPORTANT POINTSON 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. 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 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 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 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 credits completed. course 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, 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 I 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. A c a d e m i c M a j o r s . I 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.)

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. ART 223 Printmaking I ART 225 Communication Design I ART 360 Watercolor Painting One course in three dimensional art from: ART 221 Sculpture I ART 250 Ceramics I Five additional studio arts courses ART 240 Art History Survey And two additional art history courses Studio Art Major Majors are required to begin their programs with the Studio Arts Foundations: ART 102 Design ART 107 Drawing One course in two dimensional art from: ART 118 Painting I Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Education Department to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.

The minor is automatically completed while completing a major in accounting or management information systems (MIS). 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 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. Communication Core Six courses including: SPC 111 Public Speaking SPC 352 Persuasion SPC 354 Interpersonal Communication and at least one course from the following: ENG 223 Writing for Business and the Professions ENG 225 Intermediate Expository Writing ENG 226 Introduction to Creative Writing ENG 227 Journalism In addition, six courses must be completed within one of the following concentrations: Public Relations and Advertising Students interested in the Public Relations emphasis are strongly urged to take ENG 227 (Journalism) as part of the major.

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. ENG 336 British Literature: 17th and 18th Centuries 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.

Majors are encouraged to consult their departmental adviser regularly.

The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 112 weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their courses. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change; and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for graduation. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 course credits required for graduation. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult the registrar for the number of Interim courses required. Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time students (fall term). If less than full-time, they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a cross registration but will be charged day school tuition $1630 per course credit. If they do so, they may take only 1.0 additional course credit in Weekend College for winter trimester. Augsburg College, as affirmed in its mission, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and/or school administered programs, except in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students. Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Lora Steil, affirmative action coordinator, Office of Human Resources, CB 79, Augsburg College, 221 1 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be reached by telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail, <steil@augsburg.edu>. Options . International Interim-Students are invited to participate in the international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE) and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on page 45. Some courses have early registration deadlines. Internships deadline-Friday, December 10. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental requirements and present a signed internship-learning agreement plan to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first day of Interim classes. The learning-agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning internships is available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning. Independent study/research or directed study-Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements 2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs are available in the registrar's office. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements or major requirements. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing, or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,630 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Ofice of the Registrar for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $25. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Office of Residence Life. It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199,299,399, or 499 courses. About This Catalog The catalog lists courses by departments in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the College for Interim credit. Students may also register for one of the lifetime sports listed at the end of the catalog. Courses that include travel are marked with an airplane.

It assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at least must be able to understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage, food additives and processing and synthesis, organically and non-organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and illicit drugs, the energy crisis, and the debates about sources of energy, the green house effect, and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering and much more. Many of these problems are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about chemistry, via lecture and in-class discussion, we can begin to understand ourselves, our society, our world, and even some of the universe. The grade for the course is based on a percentage of the score of total points on the daily quizzes. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 2 Liberal Arts Perspective: Natural World 2 Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: I Room: Science 315 Introduction to Polymer Chemistry and American Plastic CHM 104-J Instructor: Ron Fedie Previously there was the Stone Age, Iron Age, and Bronze age. Now we live in the Age of Polymers (and Plastics). Without this innovative technology, life as we know it would be much different. The variety of polymer molecules and their properties make up many, diverse plastics and the variations are endless. Many items and materials in the areas of coatings, adhesives, leisure/sports equipment, building/construction, automobiles, furniture, clothes, medical supplies, cosmetics, and others that are used every day come from different polymeric materials made from polymer molecules. In this course we will explore and discuss the world of polymer chemistry. Polyethylene is one of the most commonly used synthetic polymers found in "plastic" wrap and trash bags. A common natural polymer, polyisoprene, is collected from the sap of rubber trees and tires, golf balls, and latex gloves are just some of the many uses. The class will focus on two books. One, American Plastic: A Cultural History, by Jeffrey Meikle for the historical perspective of our world of polymers. Themes from the book, the different types of polymers used, and recent themes such as the recycling of plastics will be discussed. A second book, Giant Molecules, by Grosberg and Khokhlov, will help with the previously mentioned themes and give more depth to the broad world of polymers not covered in Meikle's book. There will be six lab periods in which some polymer molecules will be made and several of their interesting properties will be explored. Students will be graded on 25 group worksheets, 6 quizzes, 6 reflection papers, 6 lab periods, and an individual project and presentation.

Maximum Enrollment: 9 Time: I1 Room: Sverdrup 4 Economics I American Dialects: Differences and Attitudes ENG 219-J Instructor: John Schmit Because language plays an important role in our socialization, the way we speak tells others who we are and with whom we identify. Our speech is a reflection of our social and economic standing and our cultural background. In this course we will explore the ways in which both personal and group identities are reflected by the ways in which we speak. We will examine a number of American varieties of English and will attempt to describe the rules by which these varieties operate. Class sessions will include brief lectures, student presentations, and student-led discussions. In addition to presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the presentation topic and take a final exam.

Topics: Introduction to Asian American Literature ENG 282-L ENG 482-L Instructor: Joan Thompson In an essay about multicultural American literature, Walter J. Ong writes that "literature is organized experience and consciousness. Since cultures organize experience and consciousness variously, the study of the literature of another culture opens new vistas both into the exterior world and into the human heart." This course will explore some of these vistas through readings and discussions of nonfiction works, poetry, short stories, a play, and a novel by Asian American authors. Some ideas the writers take as subjects through their art include definitions of an Asian American voice, explorations of cultural and individual identity, visions of community, and coming of age. Class sessions will include discussion of the historical and social contexts that influence the writers studied. In addition to the reading, students will view at least one Asian American film and possibly attend a relevant performance or reading. Course grades will be based on reading journal, a short paper, a final exam, class attendance, and participation. Upper division students will read an additional novel and write a research-based paper on it. Liberal Arts Perspective: Intercultural Awareness 1 Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: I1 Room: Old Main 11 English I Topics: Investigating the Victorian Thriller ENG 282-0 ENG 482-0 Instructor: Dallas Liddle This course will study the phenomenon in 19th-century Britain of the popular novel of suspense, mystery, and terror. Early in the century these tales were generally either "Gothic" (stories of horror and the supernatural set in Italy or Spain) or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories about the lower classes). By the 1860s, however, popular novelists including Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, and others were producing a stunningly successful series of works in which the action was set in the everyday world of the Victorian middle classes. These novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues that the more polite genre of domestic fiction could hardly hint at, including gender roles and sexual transgression, class and race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark sides of urban life. We will read several of the best of these thrillers, at the same time actively investigating the culture that produced them. We will read original reviews and responses, including parodies, and learn about the context of newspaper and magazine journalism in which several of the novels appeared. While we investigate the power of the Gothic and Sensation genres for their original audiences, however, we will also work to determine why these novels have continued to appeal to successive generations of readers. Course grades will be based on class attendance and participation, two short papers, a group presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level students will read one additional novel, write a research-based paper on it, and share the results of their research with the class.

This topics course in English examines films from the early years of cinema to the present in order to explore depictions of and cultural assumptions about sexual identity. We will, moreover, consider the impact of these images on audience perceptions and expectations, including those of the self. We will pay special attention to the various images and constructions of homosexual as well as heterosexual identity in English-language cinema, especially Hollywood movies, and in some silent and foreign films. Taking Celluloid Closet as a point of departure, we will consider how film affects sexual minorities in the audience as well as in film production. There will be short readings on sexuality and film. At each class there will be a full or partial film screening, followed by small-group and whole-class discussions. We may go to one or two films offcampus as well, so students should be prepared to buy tickets; these out-of-class screenings may not be at the regular class time. There will be at least one typed journal entry due at each class period. The class will meet from 1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday of the first two weeks of Interim; 1-5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday of the third week; and 1-5 p.m., Monday through Thursday of the last week. Grading will be based on the completion and quality of all journal entries and on class/film attendance, preparation, and participation. Students missing more than two classes/films and/or two journal entries may not pass the course. All grades are PIN option only (i.e., 2.0 is required for course credit).

Through comparison and contrast, students will be expected to formulate reasonable interpretations of selected poets and poems and to express their discoveries in class discussion and short papers. A final examination will be given and two interpretive papers about three to five pages in length will be assigned. For upper division credit, the student will also read and give a written class report on a book that discusses contemporary poetry or a contemporary poet; this choice, based upon recommendation, must be approved by the instructor.

What has this century wrought? The last hundred years have left a great many contradictions: two global wars that destroyed millions of lives and swept away governments, but brought economic development; the decline (and recovery) of established religion; the rise (and collapse) of a messianic faith in communism; great increases in standards of living while famine and child labor persist; technological breakthroughs that put teachers in space and AK-47 rifles in the hands of children; new freedoms and new forms of exploitation. In this course, we will together attempt to make sense of the 20th century. Please note that while the course will examine major events and developments of the century, it will not offer a narrative history, nor will it be exhaustive. Instead, it will explore a variety of possible interpretive frameworks to help us better understand where our grandparents have been and where we are today. Rather than relying exclusively on (sometimes dry) textbooks, we will explore the century through a variety of personal narratives, both written and oral, and reflect on the shaping of both individual and collective memory. Course materials will include several monographs and novels, films, photographs, and guest lectures. Students will complete three five-page papers, one of which will be an interview with their oldest living relative.

Graduation Skill Requirement: Writing Maximum Enrollment: 15 Time: I Room: Old Main I1 Science, Technology, and Values PHY 117-J Instructors: Mark Engebretson and Bruce Reichenbach This course will focus on contemporary problems that arise from our developing technological capacities. We will consider problems such as the causes and effects of global warming; depletion of the ozone layer; social, economic, and ethical concerns in pollution cleanup; agriculture, pesticides, and genetic effects; the prospects and problems of genetically engineering both our foodstuffs and humans, and the urban implications of developing a light rail system. To get a satisfactory grasp on how to approach these problems, we will first explore what science and the scientific methods are, how science (knowing) relates to technology (doing), the structures used for ethical evaluation, and the resulting interactions among the three. Grading will be based on two tests and a major project. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 2 Liberal Arts Perspective: Natural World 2 Maximum Enrollment: 40 Time: I Room: Sverdrup 205 Topics: Physics in Science and Fantasy Fiction PH Y 220-J Instructor: J. Ambrose Wolf This course deals with physics aspects in movies as well as in science fiction and fantasy fiction literature on a conceptual level. We will explore scenes and settings in which physics plays an important role and also learn to discern if they are physically correct or not. This will also expand the awareness of physics in everyday life, where it is encountered and how it works. The math component of this course will be minimized in favor of a better grasp of the concepts and thought processes involved. Various scenes from movies and excerpts from literature will be presented, after which the physics connection and understanding will be explored in discussions. The weekly papers will cover one of the topics discussed in class during that week; the long-term paper will cover a general topic from physics in everyday life and bibliographic research. Students' papers and reviews will also be discussed class. This course is designed for those students who do not plan to major or minor in physics. Grading will be based on active participation in class discussions, three (approx. weekly) short papers involving draft and peer review (final paper and review graded) and one long paper including a draft version corrected by the instructor.

The placement must be approved by course faculty and supervised by agency staff. The course is designed to help students learn about themselves in relation to a possible major or future career in the human services. The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions that assist students in integrating agency experiences and readings that explore the historical development of social welfare as an institution and the nature and value system of social work as a profession. Students will also examine and critique the manner in which social, economic, and political structures impact diverse groups in society. Students will focus on their own responsibilities in society, as well as examine their personal value system in relation to special concerns, such as poverty and the "isms." Detailed information will be sent to students at the close of Interim registration.

There will also be opportunities to compare child welfare laws and practice in the U.S. with those in Europe, especially Norway. The principles of permanency planning, family-centered practice, prevention and protection, and the twin goals in child welfare of securing safety and nurturing children while preserving their ties to their family will be examined. We will also explore controversies and emerging issues in child welfare law such as concurrent planning, "dual-track" service strategies, encouragement of the adoption of children of color by white families, and research related to the effects of poverty and oppression on the neglect of children's need. Students will analyze the dynamic interplay of societal values, power, politics, facts and myths as they manifest themselves in child welfare laws; they will begin to form their own positions regarding an ideal approach to supporting the welfare of children from a global perspective. Evaluation of learning will be in the form of assessments by instructors and students of the major paper or project completed for the course.

This course covers all forms of illegal discrimination including gender, race, disability, religion, and sexual orientation. It focuses on the legal approach to discriminatory communication, but also examines the reactions of employers, employees, and organizations generally. This course uses the "case method" teaching approach, where many specific examples are studied to produce general conclusions. The course involves role-playing, game-playing, debate, and writing. Course work includes a few short papers, one project, and one test.

The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 112 weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their courses. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change; and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for graduation. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 course credits required for graduation. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult the registrar for the number of Interim courses required. Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time students (fall term). If less than full-time, they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a cross registration and will be charged WEC tuition $1258 per course credit and a $25 technology fee. If they do so, they may take only 1.0 additional course credit in Weekend College for winter trimester. Augsburg College, as affirmed in its mission, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and/or school administered programs, except in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students. Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Betty Wade, affirmative action coordinator, Office of Human Resources, CB 79, Augsburg College, 221 1 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be reached by telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail, <wadeb@augsburg.edu>. Introduction Options International Interim-Students are invited to participate in the international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE) and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on page 47. Some courses have early registration deadlines. Internships deadline-Friday, December 8. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental requirements and present a signed internship-learning agreement plan to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first day of Interim classes. The learning-agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning internships is available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning. Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements 2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. Introduction Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs are available in the registrar's office. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements or major requirements. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4- 1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing, or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,726 for the Interim course plus a $25 technology fee. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Office of the Registrar for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $25. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Office of Residence Life.

Drawing ART 107-J Instructors: Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg and Tara Christopherson The legendary light and geography of Provence has shaped art history for centuries. In the last hundred years alone, it has inspired countless works of art. Using French language and personal art, students will immerse themselves in place, documenting their own inspiration with text and images of Provence through journal, discussion, sketching and assemblage. The language, culture and art of Provence will come alive for students, resulting in a very personal memoir grounded in site-specific content. Students will spend the majority of their time in Provence, winding up the program with four days in Paris. For more information, contact Prof. Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg, (612) 330-1090 or Prof. Tara Christopherson, (612) 330-1232.

It assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at least must be able to understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage, food additives and processing and synthesis, organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and illicit drugs, the energy crisis, and the debates about sources of energy, the green house effect, and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering and much more. Many of these problems are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about chemistry, via lecture and in-class discussion, we can begin to understand ourselves, our society, our world, and even some of the universe. The grade for the course is based on a percentage of the score of total points on the daily quizzes. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 2 Liberal Arts Perspective: Natural World 2 Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: I Room: Science 315 Chemistry I Introduction to Computer Science and Communication CSC 160-J Instructor: Noel Petit This course introduces the major areas of computer science and computer communications. These areas are: algorithms, algorithm design, algorithm efficiency, hardware, logical circuit design, computer organization, software and operating systems, programming languages, operating systems, theory of computation, mathematical foundations of computer science, Turing machines, computer communications and the Internet, packet switching, Internet services, and operation. This course will consist of lecture/discussion times with frequent in-class lab exercises on the topics above. Grading will be based on examinations, labs, and homework. This is not a course in computer applications or how to use computers, although we may touch on these topics. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 3 Maximum Enrollment: 15 Time: I Room: Sverdrup 202 UNlX and C CSC 272-J Instructor: Karen Sutherland Study of UNIX operating system and the C programming language. It is assumed that the student has knowledge of programming methods and has done programming in some other language. Evaluation will be done on 10 programming assignments, two to three quizzes and a final project. Grading is done by combining the weighted grades of all assignments and quizzes. Prerequisite: CSC 170 or programming in some other language Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: II Room: Sverdrup 202 Topics: Computer Science: An Alternative Scheme One and Two CSC 273-J CSC 373-J Instructor: Charles Sheaffer This course is especially intended for students with no prior exposure to programming in particular or computer science in general. It will be a laboratory intensive, self-paced course using the Scheme programming language. We will introduce an alternative approach to some of the most important concepts of computer science including problem solving, simulation, object-oriented programming, functional programming, procedural and data abstraction, and program interpretation. Students with knowledge of programming will benefit from exposure to the alternative paradigm represented by the Scheme language and will acquire a concrete understanding of how these important concepts are actually implemented in real languages and machines. Students will be evaluated based on a series of programming projects. CSC 373 is a continuation of CSC 273. Graduation Skill Requirement: for CSC 373, Critical Thinking Prerequisite: CSC 273, none; for CSC 373, CSC 273 or consent of the instructor Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: II Room: Sverdrup 205 Topics: Forecasting Economic & Business Activity ECO 495-J Instructor: Steve Huchendorf This course is designed to prepare students for analyzing primary and secondary economic and business data in making business decisions.

Maximum Enrollment: 9 Time: II Room: Sverdrup 206 The Cuban Story: Quantitative Journalism in Cuba ENG 347-A Instructor: Cass Dalglish Students will research and write stories with a statistical issue at the core, doing their work where few U.S. citizens have been able to travel or study-Cuba. They will study how to evaluate and analyze information both numerically and verbally and how to communicate quantitative data. They will study the Cuban economy and both the gains and challenges politics have brought to Cuba. During the 10-day seminar, students will interview economists, meet government officials, travel to the country to consider food and farming, study health care and education, and meet students and journalists. Finally, students will write lucid investigative stories which demonstrate that they have gained an ability to gather, handles, and present quantitative information in a precise and readable style - in oral and written formats. The class will have several meetings at Augsburg before the Cuba travel and several following the group's return to the U.S. [This is a joint day Interimlwinter WEC course with enrollment limits.] Prerequisite: ENG 225, ENG 227 or consent of the instructor, Math Placement Group 3 Graduation Skill: Quantitative Reasoning Time: arranged Topics: Which West? The American West in Film and Literature ENG 282-A ENG 382-A Instructor: Joan Thompson In this class you will read literature and view films in order to learn about ways in which ideas about the American West have helped to shape American identity and cohstructions of the West. Although over 100 years have passed since Frederick Jackson Turner announced the closing of the American frontier at the 1893 meeting of the American Historical Society, the West has not lost its associations with the frontier and its attendant mythology. You will learn that even as formulaic fiction and film popularized this vision of the West, serious writers and, more recently, filmmakers have been exploring other possible versions of the West. Through focusing on these explorations of the West as place, you will gain an understanding of the role of myths, such as the romantic gunfighter's conquest of both Native peoples and land, in American views of the West. You will also explore ideas such as Manifest Destiny, individual freedom, and appropriate land use. Because the West has always been filled with a plurality of voices, you will look'at ways writers and filmmakers who have visited, imagined, or lived in the West have both affirmed and countered these myths and ideas in their work. Course grades will be based on readinghiewing journals, a three to four page paper, a final exam, and class participation. Additionally, if you are enrolled in 382, you will read several critical articles on reserve at Lindell Library, as well as an additional novel. You will then write an additional short paper on the novel using the critical ideas you have studied. You will also give a brief presentation on your additional reading. Liberal Arts Perspective: Western Heritage Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: II Room: Old Main 26 Topics: Investigating the Victorian Thriller ENG 282-D ENG 482-D Instructor: Dallas Liddle This course will study the phenomenon in nineteenth-century Britain of the popular novel of suspense, mystery and terror. From Frankenstein early in the century to Dracula at its end, the nightmares imagined by novelists of Great Britain have continued to interest and horrify readers throughout the 20th century. Early in the century these tales were generally either "Gothic" (stories of horror and the supernatural set in Italy or Spain) or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories about the lower classes). By the 1860's however, popular novelists including Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, Eliza Wood and Wilkie Collins were producing a stunningly successful series of works in which the action was set in the everyday world of the Victorian middle classes, and the villains (as one reviewer remarked) seemed like people the reader might meet at dinner. Often challenging and sometimes subversive, these novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues that the politer genre of domestic fiction could hardly hint at including gender roles and sexual transgression, class and race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark sides of urban life, industrial poverty, and empire. We will read several of the best of these thrillers, at the same time actively investigating the culture that produced them. We will read original reviews and responses, including parodies, and learn about the context of newspaper and magazine journalism in which several of the novels appeared. While we investigate the power of the Gothic and Sensation genres for their original audiences, however, we will also work to determine why these novels have continued to appeal to successive generations of readers. Course grades will be based on class attendance and participation, two short papers, a group presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level students will read one additional novel, write a research-based paper on it, and share the results of their research with the class. Prerequisite: ENG 111 Liberal Arts Perspective: Western Heritage Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: II Room: Foss 20 Topics: The Heroic Journey ENG 282-M ENG 382-M Instructor: Joan Griffin "The hero," says Joseph Campbell, "Is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations to the generally valid, normally human forms." This struggle, the heroic journey, is a quest for wholeness, for harmony with oneself, one's society, and even the universe. The journey may be physical, moral, psychological, or spiritual, but it always concludes with the regeneration of the hero and/or the redemption of the hero's society. This course will study archetypal patterns of the heroic journey as well as specific examples of such journeys, emphasizing the work of Joseph Campbell, but also citing studies of the hero by Lord Ragland, Carol Pearson, and Richard Slotkin, among others. We will note that major heroic genres in western tradition-the epic and romance-almost always assume that the hero is usually a warrior and aristocrat. Thus we will analyze typical elements of the heroic warrior myth as depicted in ancient and medieval epics and romance, but will also pay particular attention to works that challenge or enlarge the tradition. We will consider the implications of the enduring popularity of warrior-hero renditions of the heroic journey. Evaluation is based primarily on papers. Class attendance is mandatory. Do not take this course if you know that you will need to miss more than two classes. Prerequisite: ENG 111 recommended but not required.

Liberal Arts Perspective: The City Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: I Room: Music 22 Environmental and River Politics POL 241-J Instructor: Joe Underhill-Cady We live and work on the shores of the largest river in North America. It is the reason the Twin Cities are located where they are, and it continues to define the city, as human settlement here in turn has profoundly shaped the river ecosystem. Of late in cities across America there has been "a return to the river," and in this class we will be doing the same. The River stands as a remarkable symbol for the community, of continuity and change, of cycles and transformation, of the power and beauty of the natural world, and there is much to be learned from studying it. Using the Mississippi as the focus, this course looks at the changes in thinking about the relationship between humanity and the natural world, as the relationship has been expressed in literature, law, science, religion, political philosophy, and popular culture. Particular attention will be paid to legal and cultural conceptions of the natural world, including the ideas of property and ownership. We will explore the distinction between wilderness and civilization and the political function of the line dividing those two realms. We will explore the river through the eyes and experiences of those who have worked and lived their lives along it, and through site visits to locations along the river, speakers in class, and on the Internet. Students will have an opportunity to explore their own interests in the river through individual projects, ranging from boat building, to lobbying at the State Capital, to the various Mississippi floods, to river ecology and "green consumerism." There will be opportunities to work with local river-related groups on those projects. Throughout the course students will be encouraged to dream, and to work on taking that vision and making it a reality, in building support for a project, in networking, in having patience, in following through, in working hard, and at the end, having something concrete to show for their efforts. These projects can be a prototype for the future pursuit of a vocation to contribute to their world in whatever way one is called to do so.

The placement must be approved by course faculty and supervised by agency staff. The course is designed to introduce the fields of practice in social work and to help students explore a possible major in social work or future career in the human services. The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions that assist students in integrating agency experiences and readings that explore the historical development of social welfare as an institution and the nature and value system of social work as a profession. Students will also examine and critique the manner in which social, economic, and political structures impact diverse groups in society.

There will also be opportunities to compare child welfare laws and practice in the US with those in Europe, especially Norway. The principles of permanency planning, family-centered practice, prevention and protection, and the twin goals in child welfare of securing safety and nurturing children while preserving their ties to their family will be examined. We will also explore controversies and emerging issues in child welfare law such as concurrent planning, "dual-track" service strategies, encouragement of the adoption of children of color by white families, and research related to the effects of poverty and oppression on the neglect of children's need. Students will analyze the dynamic interplay of societal values, power, politics, facts and myths as they manifest themselves in child welfare laws; they will begin to form their own positions regarding an ideal approach to supporting the welfare of children from a global perspective.

What gives language that extra charge and sparkle? Why are bad poems about sex really bad? What is the role of the erotic in a poem? In a love poem? How do poems seduce us, engage our sense of physical desire via our imagination? How can we be sure we've written a sexy poem rather than a mere sex poem? How have poets answered these and other questions across a variety of times and cultural contexts? This course will explore these and other related questions with the assumption that poetic language can and often should be sensual, erotic, sparky, a flirtation with the reader, and the understanding that the sexiest of poems are seldom actually about the sex act itself. In this course we will take a look at erotic elements in poems and explore how poets handle physical desires of all kinds to engage and seduce their readers. Students will explore a variety of ways to work with erotic language and subjects. We will examine what makes particular images and metaphors sensual and how poets transform potentially dull and lor unsexy subjects into vibrant and appealing answers to human desire. The class will include in-class discussions of text, writers to the course, on the recommendation of the creative writing faculty.

(See page 55 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Through the Weekend College Program, 14 majors are offered. MISSION STATEMENT Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the mission of the College: To 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 A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. - About Augsburg 1 Early Leaders Establish a Direction The Focus Changed August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr. became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She spent the next 42 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over 125 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 18905, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modem college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effort to become accredited. The College reached accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. - 2 About Augsburg A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a cuniculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. The city-with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Dr. William \! Frame became president in August 1997. He has initiated a strategic planning process intended to idennfy the distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and a restructuring effort intended to improve operating efficiencies and open access for the College to new sources of capital. Augsburg also offers graduate and undergraduate level nursing courses as well as supporting degree courses through its Rochester Program based in Rochester, Minnesota. In 1999, a new apartment-style student residence opened. Major renovation of Sverdrup Hall created space for the Enrollment and Financial Services Center, the Women's Resource Center, and the Honors Program Suite; a skyway link to Lindell Library was constructed. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great memopolitan center. There are now almost 16,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work. In addition to undergraduate liberal arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's degree programs in social work, leadership, nursing, and physician assistant training (after May 2001). WEEKEND COLLEGE Augsburg's Weekend College program 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 a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. - About Augsburg 1 Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today with more than 1,000 students enrolled each term 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. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations. A Community of Learners Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the needs of the adult and nontraditional student. The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. They are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching and learning techniques and theories. The Adult as Learner Augsburg Weekend College is based on the assumption that students who enroll in the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course is divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To accommodate this learning format, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. 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 and are open to both day and Weekend College students. The academic year for Weekend College is divided into three trimesters. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of College facilities such as Lindell Library and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Weekend College Faculty 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.

If courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made.

Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its EFSC, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 1999-2000 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg Financial Aid Application help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as - Financial Information 3' current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.

Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular student or be a returning student in good academic standing with the College. 2.

Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Through Student Government, students secure a closer relationship with and better understanding of the administration and faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights, and provides the means for discussions and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg. Student Government is organized into the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. Elections are held in the spring for the next year. Freshmen elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many kinds of involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level of the Christensen Center. The Student Activities Program creates opportunities for students to enhance their leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and organizations that serve the student community Hundreds of major programming efforts and targeted activities for specific student interests are generated through these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment. SOCIAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, films, theme events, name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields. The Christensen Center is the focus of leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's Attic (the gameroom and student lounge) is a popular hangout located in the lower level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests meet here. Student offices in this area include the College newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student Government; and the Augsburg Student Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the needs of Augsburg and the surrounding Cedar-Riverside community, is located in Urness Tower. FINE ARTS Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals. H INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MLAC) and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball, track and field, and golf. During 1999-2000, Augsburg men's and women's athletics marked the 75th anniversary of intercollegiate competition. Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed sport. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena. SPORTS AND RECREATION At Augsburg, sports are for the average student as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center with workout machines and weight room, and an air supported dome over the athletic field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners. (See Fitness Center on page 47.) - 14 Student Life Augsburg's mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student learning, the student and academic affairs offices work to bring together the student learning found in the classroom with the activities of experiential education and work, residence life, and the learning resources of the library and information technology. The following sections elaborate on facets of student life. The formal academic programs and requirements are described on page 55. ACADEMIC SKILLS CENTER The Academic Skills Center, located in Room 171 of Foss Center, is designed to offer students study-skills assistance so that they may achieve academic success. The center assists students in improving their skills in such areas as time management, notetaking, textbook reading and comprehension, test-taking, and concentration and memory improvement. Diagnostic testing is also available to assess skills in reading, vocabulary, spelling, study strategies, and learning styles. The staff will assist students in developing effective and efficient study skills. The Karen M. Housh Tutor Center, located in Foss Center, Room 18, arranges for students to meet with tutors for content tutoring in most freshman- and sophomore-level courses. The center also notifies students of tutoring labs available and coordinates supplementary instruction sessions, in which tutors attend the classes and lead discussions after class on major concepts of the course. The John Evans Learning Laboratory, located in Foss Center, Room 18, offers students the opportunity to improve skills in reading, writing, and mathematics through the use of computer software, as well as to review and prepare software for tests such as PPST, MCAT, L

Interim is intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. The College is changing its calendar next year to a 4-4 calendar so January Interim 2002 will be the last opportunity to take an Interim course. Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. All other current students are expected to complete the two interims required for graduation. Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 112 weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their courses. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time students (fall term). If less than full time, they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a cross registration and will be charged WEC tuition $1321 per course credit and a $25 technology fee. If they do so, they may petition to take an additional 1.0 course credit in Weekend College for winter trimester. Augsburg College, as afirmed in its mission, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic andlor school administered programs, except in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students. Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Betty Wade, afirmative action coordinator, Ofice of Human Resources, CB 79,Augsburg College, 221 1 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, M N 55454.

Options International Interim-Students are invited to participate in the international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE) and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on page 38. Some courses have early registration deadlines. Internships deadline-Friday, December 7. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental requirements and present a signed internship-learning agreement plan to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first day of Interim classes. The learning-agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning internships is available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning. Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements 2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs are available in the registrar's office. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements or major requirements. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4- 1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing, or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,844 for the Interim course plus a $25 technology fee. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Office of the Registrar for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $25. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Office of Residence Life. It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199,299,399, or 499 courses.

Now we live in the Age of Polymers (and Plastics). Without this innovative technology, life as we know it would be much different. The variety of polymer molecules and their properties make up many, diverse plastics and the variations are endless. Many items and materials in the areas of coatings, adhesives, leisure/sports equipment, building/construction, automobiles, furniture, clothes, medical supplies, cosmetics, and others that are used everyday come from different polymeric materials made from polymer molecules. In this course we will explore and discuss the world of polymer chemistry. Polyethylene is one of the most commonly used synthetic polymers in "plastic" wrap and trash bags. A common natural polymer, polyisoprene, is collected from the sap of rubber trees and tires, golf balls, and latex gloves are just some of the many uses. The class will focus on two books. One, American Plastic: A Cultural History, by Jeffrey Meikle, for the historical perspective of our world of polymers. Themes from the book, the different types of polymers used, and recent themes such as the recycling of plastics will be discussed. A second book, Giant Molecules, by Grosberg and Khokhlov, will help with the previously mentioned themes and give more depth to the broad world of polymers not covered in Meikle's book. There will be six lab periods in which some polymer molecules will be made and several of their interesting properties will be explored. Students will be graded on 25 group worksheets, six quizzes, six reflection papers, six lab periods, and an individual project and presentation. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 2 Liberal Arts Perspective: Natural World 1 or 2 Maximum Enrollment: 22 Time: II Room: Science 315 States of Maiter (.50 Credit) CHM 114-J Instructor: Joan Kunz CHM 114 provides an overview of the main states of matter, examining the laws governing the behavior of gases, liquids, solids, colloids, and solutions. The course connects chemical theory and models of matter with real world behavior and application. CHM 114 is a required transitional course for students needing one year of general chemistry who enter at the CHM 105 level and intend to take CHM 116 in the spring. CHM 106 will not be offered in the spring of 2002; all students needing two semesters of general chemistry must take either CHM 1151116 or CHM 10511141116. Prerequisite: CHM 105 Time: I Room: Science 212 Introduction to Computer Science and Communications CSC 160-J Instructor: Charles Sheaffer This course introduces the major areas of computer science and computer communications.

Participants will have an opportunity to see how these two contrasting cultures and social systems view the role of schools within their societies. Every system of learning has both opportunities and defects. Those in leadership roles within each system make choices about how to educate. The goal of the course is to enhance participants' understanding of the role of teaching and learning within a society, both in the formal elementary and secondary educational systems and in non-formal educational structures such as adult literacy campaigns. For more information, contact Prof. Joe Erickson, 612-330-1647. Prerequisite: Sophomore-standing education majors & completed PPST & admitted to the education department Liberal Arts Perspective: Social World 1 or 2 Graduation Skill Requirement: Writing (If taken in conjunction with EDC 200.)

Prerequisite: None Liberal Arts Perspective: Aesthetics Topics: Investigating the Victorian Thriller ENG 282-D ENG 482-D Instructor: Dallas Liddle This course will study the phenomenon in 19-century Britain of the popular novel of suspense, mystery, and terror. From Frankenstein early in the century to Dracula at its end, the nightmares imagined by novelists of Great Britain have continued to interest and horrify readers throughout the 20th century. Early in the century these tales were generally either "Gothic" (stories of horror and the supernatural set in Italy or Spain) or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories about the lower classes). By the 1860's however, popular novelists including Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, Eliza Wood, and Wilkie Collins were producing a stunningly successful series of works in which the action was set in the everyday world of the Victorian middle classes, and the villains (as one reviewer remarked) seemed like people the reader might meet at dinner. Often challenging and sometimes subversive, these novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues that the politer genre of domestic fiction could hardly hint at including gender roles and sexual transgression, class and race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark sides of urban life, industrial poverty, and empire. We will read several of the best of these thrillers, at the same time actively investigating the culture that produced them. We will read original reviews and responses, including parodies, and learn about the context of newspaper and magazine journalism in which several of the novels appeared. While we investigate the power of the Gothic and Sensation genres for their original audiences, however, we will also work to determine why these novels have continued to appeal to successive generations of readers. Course grades will be based on class attendance and participation, two short papers, a group presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level students will read one additional novel, write a research-based paper on it, and share the results of their research with the class. Prerequisite: ENG 111 Liberal Arts Perspective: Western Heritage Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: II Room: Foss 20 Topics in History: Minnesota History HIS 195-J Instructor: Bill Green This course will cover the early racial, ethnic, political, and economic history of Minnesota, focusing on the Ojibway and Dakota, the explorations of the French and British, the U.S. territorial era, and statehood.

Prerequisite: Phy 245 or permission of instructor Maximum Enrollment: 15 Time: I Room: Sverdrup 206 Environmental and River Politics POL 241-J Instructor: Joe Underhill-Cady We live and work on the shores of the largest river in North America. It is the reason the Twin Cities are located where they are, and it continues to define the city, as human settlement here in turn has profoundly shaped the river ecosystem. Of late in cities across America there has been "a return to the river," and in this class we will be doing the same. The river stands as a remarkable symbol for the community, of continuity and change, of cycles and transformation, of the power and beauty of the natural world, and there is much to be learned from studying it. Using the Mississippi as the focus, this course looks at the changes in thinking about the relationship between humanity and the natural world, as the relationship has been expressed in literature, law, science, religion, political philosophy, and popular culture. Particular attention will be paid to legal and cultural conceptions of the natural world, including the ideas of property and ownership. We will explore the distinction between wilderness and civilization and the political function of the line dividing those two realms.

Police brutality and genocide. Domestic abuse and terrorism. What are the dynamics underlying these and other forms of violence? What do they have in common? How do they differ? This course takes violence in its many forms as a topic for sociological analysis and concludes with an examination of non-violent alternatives. With this in mind, we will compare different theoretical perspectives on violence, such as psychological, social psychological, and socio-cultural perspectives. The course will involve a combination of lecture and discussion based on readings and videos, debate of current issues in the field, and guest speakers from and field trips to local organizations dealing with problems of violence. Students will be expected to research, write about, and present on the sociological dimensions of a particular form of violence. In addition, there will be short reaction papers based on the readings, and classroom participation will be an important part of grading. This course has a lab fee of $25 payable the first day of class to the instructor. Prerequisite: None Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: II Room: Old Main 13 Topics: The Sociology of Social Movements SOC 295-J Instructor: Lars Christiansen Scores of social movements have shaped and challenged the social, political, and economic institutions of the United States. Many of these protest movements seek to change the established social order; some seek its defense and preservation. This course offers the sociological study of social movements in the United States within the last two centuries. We will explore important question such as: Why do people engage in protests at certain times, while at other times reamin silent? Why are people willing to risk their lives to create social change? How do social movements form, and what causes their decline? Is the use of violence an effective means of establishing social change? We will address these and other crucial questions through a systematic study of several social movements including labor, civil rights, feminist, environmentalist, and anti-global capital movements.

In addition to being a strong, challenging program, it is also geared toward flexibility to accommodate the adult learner. A program in my opinion that goes unmatched! -Ann Dejongh 02 1 MASTER OF ARTS Attaining the MAL degree was a transforming experience both personally and professionally. It increased my self-confidence, enabled me to recognize and develop my strengths, and also provided a valuable networking opportunity with fellow students and faculty. -Luann Watson '02 IN LEADERSHIP INTRODUCTION The primary mission of the Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) at Augsburg College is to develop leaders for organizations and the community. The core program of the center is the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL). The program, which was launched in 1987, responds to the leadership development needs of both profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership. ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are careeroriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals, seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours. COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs , and Christensen Center. The Center for Leadership Studies also offers some special colloquia and seminars each year to supplement and complement the course work of the master's program. A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM PERIOD I Saturday 8:00 a.m . to 12:00 noon PERIOD II Saturday 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II; on average two meetings a month. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are a broad range of abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess , promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. Leadership Orientation Toward Action Sense of Vision Ethical • Social awareness • Environmental awareness • Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences • Appreciation of situational complexity Creative • • • • Long-term perspective Flexibility Adaptability Innovativeness Facility for Persuasion Communicative • • • • • • Risk Assumptive • Curiosity • Achievement motivation • Self-esteem - Effective listener Effective speaker Effective writer Diplomatic ability Effective team member Interpersonal sensitivity Decisive • • • • • Self-confidence Analytical ability Ability to think critically Understanding of research Ability to manage conmct Culturally Aware • Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of individual differences There are two ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/ LAP) Option, students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option, students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities. THESIS/LAP OPTION Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities. The principal distinction between the thesis and the Leadership Application Project lies in their underlying orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project is based on practical application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592, 593, and 594. Differences between these two options will be explored in ML 514 Research Methods and in ML 593 Leadership Research Seminar I. For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP option, refer to the Information and Guidelines for the Thesis and Leadership Application Project booklet. Students who do not complete their thesis or Leadership Application Project while enrolled in ML 594 Leadership Research Seminar II are required to pay a continuation fee. - NON-THESIS OPTION An alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers, as described below. The first of these papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual colloquium. Students who do not complete their independent project while enrolled in ML 597 are required to pay a continuation fee.

Admissions are handled on a "rolling" basis, with students admitted at the beginning of the fall, winter, and spring terms. Selection of candidates will be made on the basis of an evaluation of each applicant's: I Previous college record I Letters of recommendation I Experience and organizational background I Written statement I Interview, if requested To apply, the following materials must be submitted to the MAL Program Office: I Completed application form I $35.00 non-refundable application fee I A 1-3 page statement relating the applicant's career and life goals to leadership aspirations I Recommendation letter and checklist from an immediate supervisor, assessing leadership potential I Recommendation letter and checklist from a work colleague (at the same level) describing the applicant's work-style leadership potential I Official transcripts from all undergraduate institutions attended, listing all courses taken and any degree(s) conferred I Official transcripts from all graduate institutions attended, listing courses taken and degree(s) conferred, if any. Applicants may be asked to participate in an interview with graduate program faculty and/or staff members. - The Augsburg College MAL Program Office encourages qualified applicants from other countries. International applicants should keep in mind that classes meet on alternate Saturdays and that students can take only two classes for a yearly total of six classes. With this schedule students can complete the required course work in less than two years. See Admission Requirements for a description of the admission process, selection criteria, and work experience requirements. Application materials required for international applicants are: I Completed application form I $35.00 application fee (non-refundable) payable in U.S. dollars I A 1-3 page statement relating the applicant's career and life goals to leadership aspirations I Completed Declaration of Finances (see below for further information) I Letter of recommendation in English from an immediate supervisor, assessing leadership potential I Letter of recommendation in English from a work colleague (at the same level) describing the applicant's work style and potential as a leader I Official mark-sheets with certified translations from all undergraduate institutions attended listing all courses taken, marks earned, dates attended, and degree(s) or diploma(s) conferred, if any; plus, a U.S. evaluation from an evaluation center I Official mark-sheets with certified translations from all graduate institutions attended listing all courses taken, marks earned, dates attended, and degree(s) or diploma(s) conferred, if any; plus, a U.S. evaluation from an evaluation center I Official results on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 590 Applicants may be asked to participate in an interview with graduate program faculty and/or staff members, if the applicant is in the United States.

In accordance with federal regulations, students on F-1 visas must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses while studying at Augsburg. NOTE: Additional information may be needed to issue an I-20 or J-1 for students admitted to the MAL program. Information requested for the I-20 or J-1 will not be used to make an admission decision. - - EVALUATION STANDARDS Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below. Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average. 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 1.5 Achieves the minimum passing standard 1.0 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 non-punitive-not computed in grade point average) W Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the MAL Program 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.) ATTENDANCE POLICY Because leadership issues are presented, discussed and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course instructor. ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL POLICIES Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must petition successfully with the MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at that time. If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received , the student may be dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only after established procedures were followed. CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION Due to the interdisciplinaiy nature of the courses in the MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program director for approval of any variation in the curriculum including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis. The only courses that will be considered for transfer credit are those earned from accredited colleges and universities, whose course content is comparable to those in the MAL program. No more than two courses will be accepted for transfer credit. CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS Each full-credit graduate course in the MAL program is the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in class a total of 28 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 trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester enables a student to complete the coursework in the program within two years. All students are required to complete all components of the program within five years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory Committee. Students who leave the program for more than one trimester must request a leave of absence in writing from the MAL program. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Time spent on an official leave of absence will not count toward the fiveyear deadline for degree completion. LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS The last date on which students may withdraw from a class and receive a "W" on their records is published annually in the MAL Supplement. STUDENT RIGTHS The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg College - Catalog and the Student Guide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg is required to give notice on the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg's policy is published in the Augsburg College Catalog and in the Studertt Guide distributed to students. Augsburg College understands that no information other than "directory information" can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. Complete information about Augsburg's procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the registrar's office. ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS Students who successfully complete Augsburg's leadership program will receive a Master of Arts degree. Augsburg is accredited by The Higher Leaming Commission, North Central Association* and is a member of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America, and the Minnesota Private College Council. Augsburg College is registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Services Office. Registration is not an endorsement of the institution.

REFUND SCHEDULE Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs) . Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student's last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes.

We also believe that a liberal arts education is your best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Selection from over 50 majors Augsburg offers more than 50 major* or you can create your own major either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 58 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Through the Weekend College Program, 17 majors are offered. Emphasis on values, perspectives, experience, and skills The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg curriculum-the College's general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses requiring students to consider important issues and examine values questions. These Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith, The City Aesthetics, and the Natural World. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the mission of the College: "To nurture 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" A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. - About Augsburg 11 Early Leaders Establish a Direction The Focus Changed August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr. became president. He worked to develop college depaments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She spent the next 42 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over 130 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876- 1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bemhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the serninary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modem college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effort to become accredited. The College reached accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. 12 About Augsburg A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. The city-with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Dr. William V Frame became president in August 1997. Under his leadership, the college has sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education, grounded in vocational calling, that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. In 1999, a new apament-style student residence opened. Major renovation of Sverdrup Hall created space for the Enrollment Center, h e Women's Resource Center, and the Honors Program Suite. A skyway link connects Sverdrup Hall to Lindell Library. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metropolitan center. There are now almost 18,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work. In addition to undergraduate liberal arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's degree programs in social work, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies, and education. Augsburg also offers graduate and undergraduate level nursing courses as well as supporting degree courses through its Rochester Program based in Rochester, Minnesota. WEEKEND COLLEGE Augsburg's Weekend College program 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 a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. - About Augsburg 13 Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today with more than 1,000 students enrolled each term and 17 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations. Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the needs of the adult and nontraditional student. The Adult as Learner Augsburg Weekend College is based on the assumption that students who enroll in the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course is divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To accommodate this learning format, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Laboratoly 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 and are open to both day and Weekend College students. The academic year for Weekend College is divided into three trimesters. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of College facilities such as Lindell Library and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Weekend College Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. They are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching and learning 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. ROCHESTER PROGRAM Augsburg has established a branch campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes in Rochester meet on an evening or weekend schedule, making them accessible to working adults. There are three trimesters in each academic year, following the same schedule as the Weekend College program. 14 About Augsburg Several complete degree programs are available through the Rochester campus. In addition, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the day or Weekend College program on the Minneapolis campus. Students who enroll in Rochester courses are required to have an individual e-mail address and have access to the Intemet to facilitate the use of technology in the learning and communication process. Further information may be obtained from the Rochester program website at <www.augsburg.edu/rochester> or by calling the Weekend College Admissions Office at 612-330-1101.

Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2001-2002 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg Financial Aid Application help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations. - Financial laormation 31 HOW TO APPLY The following are required to process your financial aid application: 1.

As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. xperiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, but learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education.

Student Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights, and provides the means for discussions and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg. Augsburg College created a program entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the generous support of the Lilly Endowment. Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and work. The program will assist students in this journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the cumculum, cocumcular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the college. Exploring Our Gifts also provides resources to encourage students to explore Christian ministry. Contact the director of Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg.

Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests meet here. Student offices in this area include the College newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student Government; and the Augsburg Student Activities Council. Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, films, theme events, name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields.

Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed sport. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena. During 1999-2000, Augsburg men's and women's athletics marked the 75th anniversary of intercollegiate competition. Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, track and field, and golf.

In addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals.

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. Vicki Olson, Ph.D. Program Director The Augsburg College Education Department commits itself to developing future educational leaders who foster 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.

We offer you an opportunity to earn your education licensure as a component of a Master of Arts in Education (MAE) degree through classes that primarily meet every other weekend and limited weekday evenings. Augsburg's MAE degree is flexible, for people who: I have a baccalaureate degree already and are seeking teaching licensure with an option to complete a master's degree; I are licensed teachers seeking a master's degree; I are seeking a master's degree in education without teaching licensure. Through weekend and weekday evening classes, students can earn licensure in: 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. WEEKEND & EVENING WEEKEND, EVENING, & DAY Communication Arts Social Studies Mathematics Science ELEMENTARY SECONDARY & K-12 Art Communication Arts/Literature Social Studies Biology Chemistry Health Education Mathematics Music Physical Education Physics Theatre Arts/Dance SPECIAL EDUCATION - he graduate versions of the "slash" courses extend their knowledge beyond the basic o include at least two graduate-level udents the chance to focus on some Emotional/Behavioral Disorders Learning Disabilities 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. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EDC 480/580 EED 320/520 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (l.O) * Special Needs Learner (I.O) * School and Society (1.0) K-6 Methods: Reading (l.O) * To complete the license, you will also need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE ll5 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) EED 310 K-6 Methods: Health/PE (.5) EED 330 K-6 Methods: Children's Lit./Lit.

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. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EDC 480/580 ESE 300/500 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (l.O) * Special Needs Learner (l.O) * School and Society (1.0) Reading and Writing in Content Area (l.O) To complete the license, students also will need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) ESE 325 Creating Learning Environments (l.O)* ESE 3XX K-12 or 5-12 Special Methods (1.0 -2.0)* ESE 481 , 483, 485 Student Teaching (2.0-3.0) *Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS The equivalent of a major in a content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licensure. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Additional coursework tied to licensure standards is generally required. - The following majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health and physical education, theatre/dance, mathematics. 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. Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities Core SPE 434/534 The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EED 320/520 SPE 400/500 SPE 410/510 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (1.0) * Special Needs Learner (1.0) * K-6 Methods: Reading (l.O)* Teaching Students with Emot./Behavioral Disabilities (1.0)** Implementing Assessment Strategies SPE 420/520 SPE 430/530 Planning, Design, and Delivery (1.0) ** Instructional and Behavioral Practices SPE 440/540 Parent and Professional Planning (1.0)** SPE 424/524 Etiology and Origins of Learning Disabilities (l.O)** Teaching Content Areas to Students with Learning Disabilities (1.0)** A student wishing to earn only a Learning Disabilities licensure would take all of the Emotional/Behaviorial Disabilities core class as well, with the exception of SPE 4 30/530 Instructional and Behavioral Practices. (1.0)** (1.0)** - To complete the license, students will also need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 EDC 220 EED 330 EED 350 EED 360 Chemical Dependency (.5) Educational Technology (.5) K-6 Methods: Children's Lit.IL.Arts (1.0) K-6 Methods: Math (1.0)* K-6 Methods: Science (1.0)* Student Teaching (1.0-2.0) *10-20 hours of field experience are required as part of this 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. Growth ML525 Personality and Systems Theories ML 530 Ethics in Communication ML 531 The Dynamics of Change ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership ML 550 Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 560 Developing a Multicultural Perspective ML 565 Women and Leadership - Many education courses in the Master of Arts in Education program are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Both undergraduate and graduate students take courses together, with graduate students having additional responsibilities and expectations. Graduate courses are offered at the 500 level. All courses are 1.0 credit unless noted otherwise. EDC 410/544 The Special Needs Learner The study of students with disability, special needs, and giftedness.
