A Greeting from the President
I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College's exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are
part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an
excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats
that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College's several graduate-level programs-the
Master of Arts in Education (MAE), Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL), Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN),
Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (PA), and Master of
Social Work (MSW, and MSW/MA or MDiv, together with Luther Seminary)-are distinguished by the
opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. The programs do so in an
environment that encourages students to transform theory into action and classroom experience into personal
and professional achievement.
Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: 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.
For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features
expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental
sustainability.
At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student,
find your calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality
educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents
and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society,
the hallmark of an Augsburg degree.
Sincerely,
Paul C. Pribbenow
President, Augsburg College
Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office
Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in
their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the
best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow.
Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and
challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships,
experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses
for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared
for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today's global environment.
When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in
state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of
experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We
encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events,
including our convocations and Advent Vespers.
All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one
another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their
identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economicallysustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you'll explore the opportunities to
participate in an international learning experience-for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in
Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members
from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our
Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg's doors, we welcome a
diversity of cultures and faiths .
Although each graduate program has its own "neighborhood" and unique features, we encourage
interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage
both "horizontal" initiatives-i.e., cross-program collaboration-as well as "vertical" initiatives-engaging
our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging
classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree.
We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to
meet you.
Sincerely,
~C.~

Introducing Augsburg College
At Augsburg College, we believe that
graduate education should prepare
gifted people for positions of leadership in their communities and places of
work. Augsburg graduates will be able
to demonstrate not only the mastery of
a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems,
act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an
Augsburg education is the Augsburg
mission, informed by the liberal and
professional arts and sciences, to serve
our neighbors in the heart of the city
with faith-based, ethical values. We
welcome students from a diversity of
backgrounds and experiences. Also,
our programs look to the world
through international courses and cultural exchanges.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Augsburg College is to
nurture future leaders in service to the
world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based
in the liberal arts and shaped by the
faith and values of the Christian
Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community.
HISTORY
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary
founded by Norwegian Lutherans in
America, named after the confession of
faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg
opened in September 1869 , in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians
were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876). Professor
Weenaas recruited two teachers from
Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly
articulated the direction of Augsburg:
to educate Norwegian Lutherans to
minister to immigrants and to provide
such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates;
second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer,
worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is
also practical.
and city life. This early interest in professional life as well education is a celebrated theme in our history and has led
to the fusion of the liberal and professional arts as a hallmark of the Augsburg College graduate.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to
church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over 130 years.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and
improve academic offerings. Now the
College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received
the most attention.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's
second president (1876-1907), required
students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student
involvement in the community gave
early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was
a group of independent congregations
committed to congregational autonomy
and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran
body. The college division, however, was
still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911 , George Sverdrup
Jr, became president. He worked to
develop college departments with an
appeal to a broader range of students
than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in
1922 under the leadership of Gerda
Mortensen, dean of women. She spent
the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education
for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg
elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962). His involvement in
ecumenical and civic circles made
Augsburg a more visible part of church
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general
education requirements and elective
majors. With curriculum change came a
concerted effort to become accredited.
Full accreditation was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission as serving the good of society
first and the interests of the Lutheran
Free Church second. The seminary
moved to Luther Theological Seminary
(now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in
1963 when the Lutheran Free Church
merged with the American Lutheran
Church. Subsequently, the American
Lutheran Church merged with two
other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. Students at Augsburg College
benefit from the Lutheran tradition of
service to your neighbor and faith in
the city.
A College in the City
Paul C. Pribbenow became the 10th
president of Augsburg College in July
2006. Under his leadership, the College
aims to educate students of all ages-in
the midst of a great city-to be faithful
citizens, in service to the world.
AUGSBURG TODAY
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the
founders who believed:
• Education should have a solid liberal
arts core at the graduate level; this
focus centers on the ability to think
critically and broadly about the
world and the work we do in it;
1
• An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community
and centers of faith;
• The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an
unequaled learning environment.
Augsburg is a college of the liberal and
professional arts and sciences, with its
main campus set in the heart of a great
metropolitan center. There are now
over 20,000 Augsburg alumni. In a
world that has changed much since
those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and
work. In addition to undergraduate liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers
master's degree programs in education,
leadership, nursing, business, physician assistant studies, and social work,
plus a dual degree MSW/MA or
MSW/MDiv with Luther Seminary
Augsburg is enhanced by its global
centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform
research, take courses, or consult with
faculty in those locations to gain new
perspectives on their discipline.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg's
graduate programs is participation in a
community of adult learners. This
community is enriched by the presence
of men and women with a variety of
work and life experiences. To facilitate
this kind of community interaction,
Augsburg encourages students to make
use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and
the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music
and dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
Graduate Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College
is particularly proud of the excellence
and commitment of its professors.
Most faculty hold the doctorate or
other terminal degree, and all consider
teaching and service to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional, and a
variety of research activities, but these
support and are secondary to their
2
teaching. Faculty are actively involved
in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best
practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories.
www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Adult and Graduate Admissions
Office at 612-330-1101, or the
Rochester program office at
507-288-2886.
Augsburg's small classes encourage its
tradition of close involvement between
professors and students. Faculty act as
academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
Augsburg's Rochester campus is located
in the facilities of Bethel Lutheran
Church (ELCA) just a few blocks south
of the heart of a city of approximately
100,000 residents. Situated in the heart
of the Midwest, the community has a
rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Students at the
Rochester campus are students of
Augsburg College. As such, our purpose is to "educate for service," by
preparing and equipping women and
men to make a difference in the world.

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

Right to withhold disclosure of
"directory information"
FERPA uses the term "Directory Information" to refer to those categories of
personally identifiable information that
may be released for any purpose at the
discretion of Augsburg College without
notification of the request or disclosure
to the student.
Under FERPA you have the right to
withhold the disclosure of the directory
information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences
of any decision by you to withhold
directory information. Should you
decide to inform Augsburg College not
to release Directory Information, any
future request for such information
from persons or organizations outside
of Augsburg College will be refused.
"Directory information" includes the
following:
• The student's name;
• The student's address;
• The student's telephone number;
• The student's e-mail address;
• The student's date and place of birth;
• The student's major and minor field
of study;
• The student's academic class level;
• The student's enrollment status
(FT/HT/LHT);
• The student's participation in officially recognized activities and
sports;
• The student's degrees and awards
received;
• The weight and height of members of
athletic teams;
• The student's dates of attendance;
• The most recent previous educational
agency or institution attended by the
student; and
• The student's photograph.
Augsburg College will honor your
request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent
permission to release it. Augsburg
assumes no liability for honoring your
instructions that such information be
withheld. The Office of the Registrar
8
must be notified in writing of your
intent to withhold your Directory
Information. If the notice is not
received by the registrar prior to Sept.
15 (or within 10 school days of the
start of a subsequent term for a new
student), it will be assumed that all
Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current
academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed
each academic year.
Right to complain to FERPA Office
You have the right to file a complaint
with the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave.
S.W, Washington, D.C., 20202-4605,
concerning Augsburg's failure to comply with FERPA.
Reporting Educational Information

READMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
tion in the United States that has been
designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of
study to such students, and has been
enrolled in SEVIS (Student and
Exchange Visitor Information System).
A student acquires F-1 status using
form 1-20, issued by a DBS-approved
school through SEVIS. Status is
acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the
student is abroad, by entering the
United States with the I-20 and an F-1
visa obtained at a U.S . consulate
(although citizens of some countries
are exempt from the visa requirement);
or 2) if the student is already in the
United States and not currently in F-1
status, by sending the 1-20 to USCIS
(United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application
for change of nonimmigrant status.
A student who is maintaining valid F-1
status may transfer from another DHSapproved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in
the F-1 regulations. Simply transferring
academically from another school to
Augsburg does not transfer a student's
F-1 status unless the student and a Designated School Official (DSO) from
Augsburg follow these procedures.
The last day to receive approval for
readmission to the College and register
for classes is one business day prior to
the start of the term. Pending approval
by the graduate program, students who
left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have
their readmission application and file
reviewed by the program director.
(Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process).
In addition to fulfilling all general
admission requirements for a particular
graduate program, prospective F-1
students must also comply with the
following:
ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL
STUDENTS
To fulfill this requirement Augsburg
graduate programs require international applicants to submit an official
score report from the Test of English as
a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a
minimum score of 100 (iBT), 250
(CBT) or 600 (PBT).
Augsburg College graduate programs
encourage qualified applicants from
other countries to apply.
An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who
is pursuing a "full course of study" to
achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institu-
U.S. institution with a minimum of two
years of successful academic work
completed in the U.S. (seven or more
courses) .
B. Foreign Credential Evaluation
Augsburg requires foreign credential
evaluation for any transcript(s) from
an institution outside of the United
States. This evaluation should include
the following:
• Analysis of credentials-to determine if your degree is equivalent to
an accredited U.S. bachelor's degree.
Course-by-course evaluation-to
show your complete course listing
with credit values and grades
received for each course.
• Calculation of grade point averageto demonstrate your cumulative
grade point average using the standard U.S. grading system, i.e., A=4.0,
B=3.0, C=2.0, D=l.0, F=O.O.
• Translation to English (if applicable)
The evaluation report must be sent
directly to Augsburg's Adult and Graduate Admissions Office.
Augsburg accepts foreign credential
evaluations only from the following
organization:
World Education Services, Inc.

A. Proof of English Competency
C. Proof of Financial Support
In order to receive an F-1 visa, the U.S.
Department of State (DOS) regulations
require international applicants to be
sufficiently proficient in English to pursue a full course of study.
International applicants must provide
reliable documentation that they have
financial resources adequate to meet
expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition
and fees, books and supplies, room and

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Refund Schedule
Students who withdraw from Augsburg
College may be eligible for a refund of
a portion of their charges based on the
appropriate refund schedule (except
for the minimum charge of $100 to
cover administrative costs). Financial
aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College
or drop one or more courses and
receive financial assistance.

all charges. Financial aid may be
adjusted based on the student's last
recorded date of attendance. Refund
calculations are based on the date that
the drop/add form is processed.
The refund schedule is effective
whether or not a student has attended
classes. All refunds of charges will be
applied to the student account and all
adjustments for aid, loans, fines,
deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting
credit balance is determined . Allow
two weeks for a refund.
The refund is a percentage of the full
tuition charged, not a percentage of
any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g.
deposits made under the employer
reimbursement payment plan.

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

Director, Master of Arts in Education
PROGRAMS
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
The Education Department offers initial licenses as well as
endorsements for already-licensed teachers that also lead to
a master's degree. The range of licenses available is
described below.
The K-6 elementary with a middle school specialty license
allows you to teach in grades K-6 and in your specialty area
of math, science, social studies, or language arts in middle
school. As an alternative to the middle school specialty,
MAE elementary licensure students can pursue a prekindergarten specialty. Licensure requirements are offered at
both the undergraduate and graduate level. That means
classes will include both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course
responsibilities. Graduate courses are taken at the 500 level.
Elementary education specialty areas in math, communication arts, and social studies are available through weekend
and weekday evening courses. The science specialty area is
available through a combination of weekday, weekday
evening, and weekend courses.
Secondary education licensure is available through weekend
and weekday evening courses in social studies, communication arts/literature, and K-12 visual arts. Licenses in other
majors, including biology, chemistry, health education,
mathematics, music education, physical education, and
physics can be completed through a combination of weekend, weekday evening, and weekday courses.
All of the following courses must be taken for licensure, and
four to six of them may be taken at the graduate (500) level
and applied toward the master's degree in education.
EDC 200/522 Orientation to Education (1.0)*
EDC 206/566 Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0)
EDC 310/533 Learning and Development (1.0)*
Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the
MAE degree through the following four licensure options:
EDC 410/544 Learners with Special Needs (1.0)*
Pre-K specialty area endorsement
EED 320/520 K-6 Methods: Reading (1.0)*
EDC 490/580 School and Society (1.0)
K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities
K-12 special education: learning disabilities
K-12 reading endorsement
Education Department Mission
To complete the license, you will also need to complete the
following requirements at the undergraduate level:
HPE 115 Chemical Dependency (.5)
EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5)
The Augsburg College Education Department commits itself
to developing future educational leaders who foster student
learning and well-being by becoming knowledgeable in content, competent in pedagogy, and ethical in practice, and by
building relationships, embracing diversity, reflecting critically, and collaborating effectively.
EED 311 K-6 Methods: Health (.25)
Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework
EED 350 K-6 Methods: Math (1.0) *
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our
graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The
Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are
leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their
institutions and communities.
EED 360 K-6 Methods: Science (l.O)*
The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing
graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as
extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are
required to include at least two graduate-level courses from
our Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. This provides students the chance to study aspects of leadership as
part of their degree program. Third, the final project-be it an
action research or a leadership application project-gives students the opportunity to define an issue of concern and, supported by research, take on a leadership role in addressing it.
EED 312 K-6 Methods: Physical Education (.25)
EED 330 K-6 Methods: Children's Lit/Language Arts (1.0)
EED 341 K-6 Methods: Visual Arts (.25)
EED 342 K-6 Methods: Music (.25)
EED 370 K-6 Methods: Social Studies (.5)
EED 380 Kindergarten Methods (.5)*
EED 481,483 Student Teaching (2.0)
*Field experience hours are required in these courses. A
minimum of 100 hours in the classroom and educationrelated settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field
experiences. These experiences occur in K-8 classrooms
during the weekday.
Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements
The number of supporting content area courses required for
licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the
bachelor's degree and/or other coursework Requirements are
determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific
college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth
science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific
requirements are on file in the Education Department.
Minnesota licensure standards in a specialty area for middle
school: subject area specialties are offered in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. The
pre-K specialty is also available. Specific requirements are
on file in the Education Department.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if i.t meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or
better was achieved. The Education Department and the
content area departments determine the courses that are
accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are
older than seven years are judged on a case-by-case basis.
Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is
not automatically accepted into the MAE degree.

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

READING ENDORSEMENT PROGRAM
Augsburg College 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 (1.0)*
ESE 500 Reading/Writing in the Content Areas (1.0)*
*The courses EED 320/520 and ESE 300/500 are offered to
both undergraduate and graduate students: EED 320/520 is
part of the elementary and special education initial licensure
programs; ESE 300/500 is part of the secondary initial licensure program. The rigor of the courses is increased at the
graduate level.
Reading license candidates who have already received their
initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg
College within the past seven years will not be required to
retake the entire version of EED 320/520 or ESE 300/500.
However, they will be expected to complete the requirements for the graduate portion of the course they have
already taken within the context of a half-credit independent study. If the graduate course was taken as a part of initial
licensure (EED 520 or ESE 500) students do not need to
repeat the course; however, if ESE 500 was taken without a
field experience, 20 hours in a high school or middle school
reading setting must be completed.
EDC 505 K-12 Literature in the Classroom (.5)
EDC 508 K-12 Reading Assessment and Evaluation (1.0)*
EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership (1.0)*
Reading license candidates who already have received their
initial K-8 teaching licensure and who are graduates of Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be
required to take EED 520 or ESE 500 at the graduate level.
*Field experience required
Reading Endorsement Course Descriptions
EED 320/520 K-6 Methods: Reading*

resources in reading, including the diagnosis and correction
of reading difficulties. Should be taken at the graduate level
for the reading endorsement. (Prereq.: PPST and admission
to the department)
Reading license candidates who have already received their
initial teaching licensure and who are not graduates of Augsburg College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500.
STUDENT TEACHING
Education students are required to complete student teaching in their content area. In the MAE program, student
teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree.
Students can apply for licensure at this point.
Student teaching for elementary and secondary initial
licenses lasts 12-14 weeks, depending on licensure scope.
During that time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for two to three credits of student teaching
and meet at Augsburg College for a student teaching seminar several times during the term. Most student teaching
placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan
area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students do half of the
student teaching experience in the metro area and the
remaining portion in another country. Opportunities to
teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful opportunity to build a global perspective in education. Additional information is available through the
Education Department.
Student teaching for special education is completed as part
of the internship year if students are working in a licensure
appropriate setting. If not, student teaching is carried out
after completing the special education coursework.
A supervised practicum for the reading endorsement is
completed as part of EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership. No further student teaching is required
for this endorsement.
GRADUATE DEGREE COMPLETION
Students take graduate coursework as part of the licensure
program. This coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education core, with between four to six Augsburg graduatelevel licensure courses fulfilling master's requirements.
To earn a master's degree beyond the core of education
classes, students will need to successfully complete a minimum of three additional graduate-level courses:
• a research methods course, typically ML 514
• an elective course chosen from leadership-focused courses
in the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program
The goal for the graduate degree completion component is
to foster the development of teachers as leaders within the
institution and community as in line with our program
theme and department mission statement.
Graduate Degree Completion Course Descriptions
Research Methods Course
All students seeking the Master of Arts in Education degree
must complete a graduate-level research requirement.
ML 514 Research Methods
Evaluation and documentation of programs, projects, and
ideas as they relate to leadership theories and practice.
Qualitative and quantitative tools will be discussed.
MAE Final Project Options
Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts
in Education final project: a leadership application project
(LAP) or action research. This project serves as the capstone
of the master's program.
EDC 585 Leadership Application Project
The leadership application project (LAP) is a research-based
study that links issues of leadership and education with the
degree candidate's personal interests. The character of the
project will vary with the nature of the investigation and the
materials involved, but will always be application oriented.
The central component of the LAP is the demonstration of
leadership ability through a concrete project appropriate to
the candidate's workplace or place of service.
EDC 586 Action Research in Education (.5 course)
This course will introduce students to action research, a
form of research that simultaneously contributes to the
practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of
social science. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and
collaboration. Action research is used in real situations, and
is aimed at solving real problems. The goal of action
research is to gain better knowledge of one's practice while
improving the situation in which the practice is conducted.
This is the first of a two-trimester course.
• a research- or leadership-based final project
Students bringing fewer than six graduate-level licensure
courses into the degree program must complete additional
leadership or education graduate courses to reach the total
of nine required courses. A minimum of four graduate-level
licensure courses are required for the MAE degree.
The research methods course will help prepare students to
evaluate and document research for use in their final project
or paper. This course examines both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The leadership elective courses
allow students to examine issues of leadership at a personal
or ins ti tu tional level.
Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts
in Education final project, which serves as the capstone of
the master's program: a leadership application project (LAP)
or action research course sequence and project.
EDC 587 Action Research (.5 course)
The second term of this course involves intensive data
analysis, writing, and sharing of the degree candidate's
research. It requires active self-reflective inquiry and collaboration. The trimester will culminate with a symposium in
which student work will be presented in a public forum.
MAL Elective Courses
At least one elective must be taken from the Master of Arts
in Leadership courses. The following are recommended, but
others may also be used.
ML 510 Visions of Leadership: A Historical and Literary

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Students admitted into the MAE program must have
completed:
• a bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited four-year
institution, and can obtain licensure at the graduate level
• cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (required
for full admission for the graduate licensure option and

average of 2.5-3.0 may be admitted conditionally into the
graduate licensure program. They can apply to the MAE
full licensure and degree program after achieving 3.0 or
better in two (2.0) Augsburg courses.
Minimum Grade Policy and Academic Probation
Students who fail to maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA in a
given term in graduate course work are notified that they
are on academic probation and have one term to raise their
GPA to the required level. Failure to do so could mean dismissal from the program. Students who receive below a 2.0
in any course required for licensure-undergraduate or
graduate-are notified that they are on academic probation
and must repeat that course as soon as possible and raise it
to the appropriate level. Failure to do so could mean dismissal from the program. Students who receive a 2.0 in a
graduate course may use that course for licensure purposes,
but it will not be counted towards degree completion.
Application Checklist

Master of Arts in Leadership
Master of-Arts in 'Leadership
Welcome to the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL), a program that has been a vital part of Augsburg College
since being founded in 1987.
The MAL program offers students an excellent opportunity to explore leadership within the context of the
liberal arts. The program design broadens the skills and mindset you need to improve your leadership
capabilities in your current and future positions, as well as in your life.
The MAL program is taught by senior Augsburg faculty from a variety of disciplines. The faculty are committed
to an interdisciplinary approach to leadership studies. Our students represent a wide array of occupations
including business, health care, and the nonprofit sector. This diverse learning community provides a rich
environment for you to explore leadership beyond your own realm of expertise.
Our program will help you develop skills you need to be an effective leader in an ever-changing world. I am
frequently told by students that the program has changed their lives, has sharpened their understanding of
themselves and others, and has opened doors that would otherwise have remained closed. To learn more about
the program, go to www.augsburg.edu/mal.
I would be happy to help you determine how Augsburg's Master of Arts in Leadership program may benefit
you. Contact me via e-mail at noonan@augsburg.edu or by telephone at 612-330-1198. I look forward to seeing
you on campus soon!
Norma C. Noonan, PhD
Director, Master of Arts in Leadership
Mission Statement
The primary purpose of the Master of Arts in Leadership program is to develop leaders for organizations, the community,
and society Most organizations seek leaders who possess the
following qualities: an ethically and morally responsible
vision, an understanding of how change occurs and how it
can be managed, sensitivity to the complex problems of
organizations, and an ability to find solutions consistent with
their mission, cultural competence and sensitivity to the
needs of a diverse population, and the ability to inspire and
motivate people to work toward a common goal.
Introduction
The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts
approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical
approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to
organizational leaders. Augsburg's program recognizes that
today's leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide
them with a more comprehensive understanding of their
world. Designed for working adults, the program offers
courses primarily on alternate Saturdays.
The Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) is the core program
of Augsburg's Center for Leadership Studies (CLS). The
MAL program, launched in 1987, responds to the leadership
development needs of both for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations. While different in structure and purpose,
most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities:
a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending
beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how
change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a
sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face and
an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals
and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability
to effectively represent the organization both internally and
externally. The MAL program provides a means by which
individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities
fundamental to effective leadership.
Leadership studies is a growing field in American higher
education, and the MAL program has significantly developed and modified its curriculum in response to new trends
in the field. The program has a deep theoretical base in leadership studies yet attempts also to offer its students practical
approaches to leadership that can be applied in the workplace and society.
incorporate some online work into their agenda. MAL students may take up to seven courses during the calendar
year. It is possible to complete the degree within two years if
a student takes two courses each trimester.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in
a community of learners gathered on the Augsburg campus.
This community is enriched by the students, who have a
variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community
interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the
Augsburg library, computer labs, and Christensen Center.
The Center for Leadership Studies also offers special colloquia and seminars each year to supplement and complement
the coursework of the master's program.
A sample class schedule in the MAL program
Period I
Period II
Saturday
Saturday
8 a.m. to noon
1 to 5 p.m.
Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I
or Period II, an average of two meetings a month. An occasional course is taught on an immersion model which features fewer but longer sessions. A few courses are held on
Sunday afternoons, from 1 to 5 p.m.
Augsburg College has a summer session. The MAL program
usually offers at least two classes during the summer. The
courses are five weeks in duration, meeting normally two
nights a week, except for special immersion courses.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL
Leadership Development Model-Augsburg College
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that
inspires cooperation among people who must compete for
limited resources, promotes productivity within and beyond
the organization, and works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this, individuals
aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key
attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the
ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the leadership development
model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of leadership development is
designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual.
CURRICULUM DESIGN
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working
adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that
the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined,
and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study
Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. During the academic year,
classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours. A few
courses are taught by the immersion model, which has
fewer sessions but longer meeting times. Most courses
Each MAL course normally includes two or more liberal arts
disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes,
and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult
learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, discussion, written and oral presentations, and group activity.
These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and
understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content
areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with
it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities.

Final project options
There are three ways to complete the MAL degree. In the
Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option
(Plan A), students complete a thesis or a major leadership
application project and 11 credits. In the Non-Thesis
Option (Plan B), students must complete 11 credits, two
papers, but no thesis. For the third option, the Comprehensive Exam Seminar (Plan C), students complete 11 credits,
including the comprehensive exam seminar.
Plan A: Thesis/LAP Option
Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to
develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This researchbased study gives the student the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities.
The principal distinction between the thesis and the leadership application project lies in their underlying orientation.
A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while a leadership application project is based on a practical issue. Both
require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative,
the student must register for ML 592 and 593.
For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP Option,
refer to the Thesis/LAP and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines
booklet. Students who do not complete their thesis or leadership application project within two years are required to
pay a continuation fee each trimester.*

Plan 8: Non-Thesis Option
One alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of
two major papers. The first of these papers will be written in
conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written
while enrolled in ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent Project.
The independent research projects approved each year will
be presented in an annual colloquium.
For more information regarding the Non-Thesis Option,
refer to the Thesis/LAP Project and Non-Thesis Project
Guidelines booklet. Students who do not complete their
independent project within a year of registering for ML 597
are required to pay a continuation fee each trimester.*
*Both Plans A and Bare governed by Augsburg College's
policy on continuation. A student taking Plan A has a maximum of seven trimesters (including the one in which registration initially occurred) to complete a thesis or LAP. After
that the student may continue with permission but will pay
a fee each trimester. A student taking Plan B has a maximum of four trimesters (including the one in which registration initially occurred to complete the Plan B final
project. After that the student may continue with permission but will pay a fee each trimester. The fee is a continuation fee and is separate from any parking permits or other
incidental fees.
Plan C: Comprehensive Exam Seminar
The third completion option involves one paper written in
conjunction with ML 580 (as in Plan B) and a Comprehen-
ML 574 Strategic Leadership
The course develops students' ability to think strategically
and lead organizations through planning and implementation; application of models and concepts to examples and
cases from real-life practice. Case studies, exercises, and readings cover practices in for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
ML 577 Universal Responsibility and Leadership:
A Nicaraguan Experience
The exploration of universal responsibility, conceptually and
experientially. Course consists of a seminar in Minneapolis
and approximately two weeks in Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan
portion includes a home stay, meetings with leaders in various venues, and visits to multiple sites and organizations.
Topics such as Nicaraguan history, politics, indigenous cultures, poverty, health care, literacy; the arts, business, foreign
investment, and relations with the U.S. government and
nonprofit organizations are explored.
ML 580 Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of
Leadership
Selected contemporary theories of leadership presented by
instructors who participate in the seminar. Emphasis on
critical thinking, discussion, written analysis. Prereq.: oneyear coursework in MAL program and ML 510)
ML 589 Comprehensive Exam Seminar (PIN}
This course is a completion option for the Master of Arts in
Leadership. Students prepare for the examination seriesoral, written, and take-home-through discussion, readings,
and critical analysis in the seminar. It must be the final
course taken in the program. No other course may be taken
at the same time.
ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation I (PIN)
Independent final research project supervised by an academic adviser.
*A student may count only ML 597 or ML 598 for credit
toward the MAL degree, except with permission of the MAL
program director.
Post-Master's Certificate in Leadership Studies
Graduate students who already possess a master's degree in
any area (including leadership) may wish to pursue the certificate program. A certificate is awarded after completion of
five Augsburg MAL courses in leadership (which were not
previously applied to any other degree). The student may
choose any five MAL courses or may wish to focus on a specific area such as ethics and leadership, global leadership,
organizational leadership, communications, or leadership
development. This option is attractive for people who want
to continue their professional studies but not necessarily
undertake a full degree program. The normal application
process is used for students who wish to pursue the postmaster's certificate.
Joint BA in Accounting and Master of Arts in
Leadership
A BA in accounting and an MA in Leadership (MAL) can be
earned in this five-year program designed for students who
wish to qualify for CPA certification and obtain a master's
degree. By the end of the fifth year and successful completion of all requirements, the student receives both a BA in
accounting and an MA in Leadership and will have fulfilled
the 150-hour requirement to qualify for the CPA certification. The MAL program offers a large number of courses on
a weekend schedule. Please refer to the MAL program catalog for a complete list of course offerings and the accounting program coordinator for a detailed academic plan.
It is recommended that students meet with an accounting
adviser to create an effective plan for successful completion
of the five-year program.

Master of Arts in Nursing
Master of Arts in Nursing
We are excited about the educational opportunities, engaging practicum experiences and wealth of transcultural
nursing knowledge offered in the Master of Arts in Nursing program at Augsburg College. We are also proud of
our students who come from a wide range of diverse cultural, educational, and experiential backgrounds. Some
master's degree candidates enter directly from college, others are making mid-life career changes, and some are
returning to college after raising a family. The career options in nursing are more variable and more rewarding
than ever before.
As our population ages and becomes increasingly diverse, nurses are challenged to respond with creativity and
competence. The master's program prepares nurses for leadership across care systems, population groups,
cultures, and settings, with particular emphasis on addressing global and local health inequities. Graduates of
our master's program are practicing in acute care, community and public health, education, nursing
administration, and emerging care settings that are responsive to the needs of culturally diverse and underserved
populations. Many of our graduates are creating innovative practice models that demonstrate interdisciplinary
leadership and economically feasible solutions to health inequities within communities.
Students can choose between two tracks of study in the master's curriculum: Transcultural Nursing in
Community or Transformational Nursing Leadership and Management. Classes are offered at the Augsburg
campus in Minneapolis and at Bethel Lutheran Church in downtown Rochester, Minnesota. Video conferencing
is used for most classes and allows for "real time" connections between students in the two sites. Program
faculty and staff are available at both sites and eager to assist students in expanding their nursing practice and
advancing their career options while exploring together how we transform our unique gifts and interests into
personal and professional service in the world.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Leuning, PhD
Chair, Department of Nursing
Director, Master of Arts in Nursing
Master of Arts in Nursing Mission
Within the framework of a Christian liberal arts education,
the Master of Arts in Nursing program is designed to prepare nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural practice across care settings, with particular emphasis
on addressing health inequities.
TRANSCULTURAL NURSING IN COMMUNITY
The Transcultural Nursing in Community track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare
nurses for advanced population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in
nursing science, public health principles, theory-guided
practice, and transcultural care. The program of study
focuses on reaching populations that are underserved by
traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social
mainstream. As such, the program provides rich alternative
teaching and learning opportunities for graduate students
locally and internationally. Upon graduation from the program, nurses completing this track are eligible to apply for
certification in Advanced Transcultural Nursing through the
International Transcultural Nursing Society. Also, graduates
completing this track will be eligible to apply to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for certification
in Advanced Community Health Nursing.
A total of 10 courses plus a thesis or graduate project are
required. Three courses in the Advanced Nursing Core,
which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, five
courses from the Transcultural Nursing in Community
Track, and two electives make up the coursework for the
program.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND
MANAGEMENT
The Transformational Leadership and Management track
unites the liberal arts with nursing science and practice.
This track is designed to develop nurse leaders who are analytical, articulate, and constructively critical and who will be
able to cope with high-level healthcare delivery issues. Curricular emphasis is on interdisciplinary collaboration across
care settings. Participation in nursing leadership practica
and classroom dialogue provides opportunities for students
to apply knowledge and gain experience partnering with
diverse care providers, populations, and communities to
address health inequities in creative and relevant ways. Specialty electives build on students' competencies and goals.
Courses are offered by the Department of Nursing faculty as
well as faculty teaching in the Master of Arts in Leadership
and Master of Business Administration programs.
Students take a total of 10 courses, plus a thesis or graduate
project. Three courses in the Advanced Nursing Core,
which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, five

*Upon graduation from the program and completion of the
Transformational Leadership and Management track, students are eligible to apply for certification in Advanced
Nursing Administration from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
Thesis or Graduate Project
Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts
in Nursing final project, which serves as the capstone of the
master's program: a graduate field project, or an integrative
master's thesis.
The graduate field project, NUR 525, is based on a selfselected issue relevant to transcultural nursing in community or transformational nursing leadership. The student
will focus primarily on the application and integration of
knowledge. Working with an adviser, the student will
design and/or implement and evaluate a model of advanced
practice nursing applied to health inequities in a selected
community, or a nursing leadership issue.
The integrative thesis option, NUR 535, expands upon
and/or extends theoretical foundations or concepts identified in transcultural nursing, community health nursing,
and/or nursing leadership literature. The thesis project
demonstrates the student's ability to do independent
research involving the exposition of primary and secondary
literature appropriate to the topic, the collection and analysis of empirical data, and the articulation of implications for
advanced practice nursing.
Students register for their final project, with their adviser's
permission, near the end of the program. Students must
complete all coursework and defend the project within two
years after registration. After two years, students must pay a
continuation fee of $200 per term in order to retain student
status in the graduate program, including library privileges,
AugNet access, and parking privileges.
Please refer to the "Graduate Field Project or Integrative
Thesis Procedures and Policies" booklet available in the
Nursing Department for additional information.
Practica
Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students who complete the
Transcultural Nursing in Community track will have
enough practice hours to be eligible to apply to take the certification exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing
through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Nursing
practice with diverse populations will also provide students
with the experiences needed to apply to take the certification exam in Transcultural Nursing. In the practica all students practice primarily in nontraditional settings with
persons underserved or excluded from mainstream health
care. Emphasis is on cultural diversity and health inequities
across health care settings. Students in the Transformational
Leadership and Management track have practice experience
in several courses with preceptors in leadership positions in
a variety of care settings.
A unique opportunity offered for practica at Augsburg is
provided by the Augsburg Central Nursing Center. The
Nursing Center provides services for persons struggling
with poverty and homelessness in the city of Minneapolis.
People from diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide-ranging cultural contexts, provide
many opportunities for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice.
Study Abroad and Off-campus Opportunities
The Nursing Department works closely with cultural
guides, nurse mentors, and Augsburg's Center for Global
Education in developing study abroad opportunities. The
following study abroad and away opportunities are four
examples of existing practicum experiences.
Students may travel to Namibia in southwest Africa to
spend two weeks exploring health and healthcare challenges
within a rapidly developing country. Practical experience
with nurses in a variety of care settings, meaningful dialogue with key resource persons, and critical reflection foster personal and professional growth in this practicum.
Week-long immersion courses and practica are taught on
the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in western South Dakota.
These courses and experiences offer students the opportunity to live on the reservation and participate with public
health nurses providing health services. They also interact
with tribal leaders and experience cultural events relevant to
the Lakota people of Pine Ridge.
Ten-day courses and practica are available in Mexico and
Guatemala as well. Students explore the relationships of
indigenous and Western health care, the connection
between social justice and health, and interact with local
indigenous healers.
Students may apply all these study abroad options to
requirements in the Master of Arts in Nursing program.

and professional control will be explored. Working with
marginalized populations, students will identify and support
the agency or persons who are seeking help from these systems. Nursing action will focus on mediating subcultures of
clients with the subculture of healthcare systems. Major
emphasis will be placed on mutuality with clients in planning actions and evaluating outcomes. (72 hours of practice
experience)

project and the final written report. Plans for disseminating
the report for public and professional use are encouraged.
Students will defend the project to their graduate committee
(major faculty adviser and two readers) and invited guests
at the time of completion.
NUR 530 The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for
Transformation
In this course, the student will explore ritual and ceremony
from a transcultural perspective. Attention will be focused
on rituals and ceremonies in specific cultures and religions,
and in the modern American medical system that sustains
its own rituals. In some cultures, formal or informal religious practices may be integral to the ritual of ceremony
and healing. In modern American culture, the perceived
division between the mind, body, and spirit has led to ritual
and ceremony being considered adjunctive to the scientific
approach to healing. Students will have an opportunity to
interact with persons who integrate ritual and ceremony
into their lives and healthcare practices. Students will also
discuss the meaning of ritual and ceremony to their own
lives and professional practice.
NUR 532 Transcultural Healing Practices

Community or Transformational Leadership and Management. It demonstrates the student's ability to do independent research that integrates past and current literature
appropriate to the topic, the collection and analysis of
empirical data, and the articulation of implications for
advanced nursing practice or leadership in nursing organizations. Students will defend the project to their selected
graduate committee (comprised of the student's faculty
adviser and two readers) and invited guests. Plans for disseminating the report for public and professional use are
encouraged.
NUR 541 The Politics of Health Care
This course will explore how health and illness are related
to inequities in society and dynamics of power in systems of
health care. The following issues will be examined in the
course: How widening gaps in the distribution of wealth
diminish the health of all members of society; how social
inequities become medicalized as health disparities, how an
emphasis on profit in health care affects the distribution of
healing resources in the population, and what strategies the
poor and powerless employ to gain access to healthcare
resources. This course will include an optional study abroad
experience in Guatemala. (72 hours of practice experience)

that affect education, economic development, the environment, among other areas. All nations, especially developing
countries and those in transition, face challenges to their
national health strategies from the effects of globalization
and global decision-making on issues that affect health.

ACADEMIC POLICIES
MBA Program Enrollment Policy
Students are strongly encouraged to remain in their cohort
and complete their MBA program as scheduled. All students
are required to complete all components of the program
within five years of matriculation. Extensions beyond five
years will be considered on the basis of petition to the MBA
director. Students who leave the program for more than one
trimester must request a leave of absence in writing from the
MBA program. A leave of absence may be granted for one calendar year. Students who return to the program after a leave
of one year or more must fill out an Application for Readmission form and submit it to the MBA office. Time spent on an
official MBA-approved leave of absence will not count toward
the five-year deadline for degree completion.
Last Day to Withdraw from Class
For information regarding the last date on which students
may withdraw from a class and receive a "W" on their
records, please contact the MBA office.
Academic Evaluation
Evaluation of academic performance in the MBA program
will be based on number grades using a 4.0-scale as defined
below:
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0
Meets acceptable standards
2.5
2.0
Meets minimum standards
Unacceptable performance (no credit - course must
be repeated)
1.5-0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit - course must
be repeated)
W
Grade assigned when a student withdraws from a
course after the deadline, "Without notation on the
record." Students can only withdraw from the same
class two times. If a student withdraws from the
same course a third time, he or she must meet with
the director of the MBA program to discuss continued participation in the MBA program.
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the
instructor grants permission after determining that
a student emergency may delay completion of
coursework. Students who receive an incomplete
grade should be capable of passing the course if
they satisfactorily complete outstanding course
requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade
form with the Office of the Registrar that states the
reasons for the request, outlines the work required
to complete the course, and includes the course
instructor's signature. The instructor may stipulate
the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same
course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student
must complete the outstanding work in enough
time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of
the following academic term in the student's program. If the work is not completed by the specified
date of the following academic term, the grade for
the course becomes 0.0.
Degree Requirements
To be conferred the MBA degree, students must achieve the
following:
• Successful completion of all admission conditions
• Successful completion of MBA courses (2.5 or above)
• No more than two courses with a grade of 2.5 or below,

information included in this catalog helpful as you make the decision to pursue your graduate degree in
physician assistant studies.
Our mission in the Augsburg College Physician Assistant Program is to educate students in a manner consistent
with the College's mission. It is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity to persons of all cultures and
backgrounds, and oriented toward service to underserved populations. Students are educated to be well versed
in current medical theory and practice, and graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The
program promotes dedication to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity;
and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development.
Your education here will be guided by a group of faculty who are committed to the physician assistant
profession and to seeing you achieve success as a graduate of the program. With a PA degree from Augsburg
College, you will stand out as a person who cares about changing the world one person at a time, and who is
willing to risk becoming different by building on your strengths.
Since its founding in 1995, our program graduates have achieved many successes, some of which include:
• The Classes of 2001, 2004, and 2007 scored among the highest mean averages in the nation on the
National Board Exam.
• 95% of Augsburg College PA graduates have successfully passed the National Board Exam on their first try.
• ALL graduates seeking employment in the PA field have been employed within six months of graduation.
We believe that this success is due in part to the quality of the education and preparation that the student
receives in the Augsburg PA Program. In addition, it speaks to the kind of students we attract; hard working,
committed individuals dedicated to their goal of becoming a physician assistant.
Choosing the PA Program at Augsburg College will require you to move beyond current comforts and
assumptions. You will likely encounter people of different backgrounds, and learn from their experiences to

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

Augsburg's MSW program prepares you for agency-based practice with individuals, families, groups, and
communities, and with a dedication to system change that reduces oppression and discrimination. Graduates of
our program share how they appreciated the opportunity to learn new ideas as well as learn more about
themselves. These graduates valued our small class size, our cohort structure, and the opportunity to have a
mentoring relationship with our faculty and staff. As a small program, we have high expectations for our
students but at the same time offer the flexibility to help them meet their individual goals.
Attending Augsburg College will transform and develop your professional life in unexpected ways. If you are
interested in learning more about our program, I invite you to come to campus for an information session. In
that session, we will show you our tightly integrated curriculum, explain our cohort model, and introduce you
to some of our faculty and staff. We also invite you to meet individually with our faculty and staff, who are
available for appointments.
We are delighted in your interest in our MSW program and invite you to join us in a lifelong adventure in
learning. The personal and professional growth necessary to become an advanced professional social worker is
challenging. We encourage you to take the challenge with us.

SWK 620 Research 2: Practice Evaluation
Building on the basic research skills developed in Research I,
this course offers a practice-oriented exploration of the range
of research methods used in social work practice evaluation.
There will be a particular focus on evaluative research, a critique of the role of research in assessing efficiency and effectiveness in social service delivery, and identification with the
responsibility of social workers to "expand the knowledge
base" of social work The course emphasizes research as a
tool at all levels of social work and will be concerned with
strengthening the linkages between research, theory, and
practice evaluation. Students completing the thesis will have
additional assignments fitting the thesis.
SWK 625 Family Practice I
The family practice methods sequence builds upon the theoretical framework of systems theory, the problem-solving
model, and the strengths perspective from the foundation
year. This first course in the sequence introduces students
to the family level of need conceptual framework (Kilpatrick & Holland, 1999) as the foundation for choice of
models for assessment and intervention with diverse families in a variety of practice settings. Family level of need is
conceptualized as a hierarchy of needs ranging from basic
survival to issues of intimacy or self-actualization of family
members. Levels I (assessment and intervention models and
strategies directed at basic survival needs) and II (structure
and organization of families) will be taught. Presentation of
the models will be integrated with current research, family
policy; values, ethics, and global perspectives.
SWK 626 Family Practice 2
This second course in the family practice methods sequence
proceeds to Levels Ill and IV of the family level of need
framework (see above). These levels focus on boundaries,
conflict, and intimacy. Students will gain a working knowledge of strategies derived from these models. Presentation of
the models will be integrated with current research, family
policy, values, ethics, and global perspectives. Prerequisite:
SWK 625
SWK 627 Family Practice 3
This third course in the family practice methods sequence
offers students a selection of one course from two or more
special topics, such as Advanced Family Therapy or Mental
Health Practice. This will be an opportunity to tailor the
skills learned in Family Practice 1 and 2 to an area of specialization within practice with families. Prerequisite: SWK 626
SWK 630 Family Social Policy
This course explores the impact of social policies on diverse
families, including policies that relate to housing, income
maintenance, health, long-term care, education, and discrimination. This course has a dual purpose: to teach substantive
knowledge of child and family policy and to teach policy
practice skills. The diversity in families as well as ethnic ,
racial, cultural, and social class differences will be immersed
in all content areas. National and international political,
social, and economic systems will be a reference point.
SWK 634 Creative Problem Solving in Supervision
(.5 credit)
This course examines knowledge and skill building in the
administrative, educational, and supportive functions of
social work supervision. The interactional model, creative
problem solving, and strengths perspective are the frameworks for understanding and influencing the dynamics of
supervision in a variety of settings.
SWK 639 Topics in Family Practice: Ethics (.5 credit)
Social workers and other human service professionals are
often faced with ethical dilemmas and choices requiring ethical decision-making in all fields of practice. The purpose of
this course is to help students acquire the knowledge base
for ethical practice and to develop skills in identifying and
resolving ethical dilemmas. Also, the course will provide
students with tools required to make ethical decisions when
confronted with conflicting choices occurring within the
context of a profession with a specific values base and a
code of ethics addressing ethical principles and standards
related to clients, colleagues, employers, the profession of
social work, and society.
Program Development, Policy, and Administration
Concentration Courses
SWK 651 AND 652 Field Seminar 3 and 4: PDPA
(.5 credit each)
The goal of these two courses is to strengthen the connections between theory and practice with both taking on new
dimension and meaning for students. All students in field
placements must participate in the appropriate concurrent
Field Seminar. As part of this integrative function, the seminar also serves as a means for making connections among
course components and the expansion of classroom content-particularly as relating to dynamics of groups, communities, and organizations; human behavior; policy
analysis; and research.
SWK 65 7 AND 658 Diversity and Inequality I and 2:
PDPA (.5 credit each)
These courses explore diversity and social inequality related
to race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation,
age, and disability with application to the social service setting. Students focus on the structural and institutional
processes through which social inequality is created and
perpetuated. Institutional remedies for inequality are studied, such as affirmative action and equal opportunity policy;
culturally competent supervision, administration, program
development, and advocacy.
SWK 660 Research 2: Program Evaluation
Building on the basic research skills developed in Research 1,
this course offers a program-oriented exploration of the range
of research methods used in social work There will be a particular focus on evaluative research, a critique of the role of
research in assessing efficiency and effectiveness in social
service delivery; and identification with the responsibility of
social workers "to expand the knowledge base" of social
work The course emphasizes research as a tool at all levels of
social work and will be concerned with strengthening the
linkages between research, theory, and program evaluation.
SWK 667 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 1
This course examines organizational theory and strucLure,
processes of development, research, and evaluation, and
social work values and ethics in the workplace. The need to
work effectively within an organizational context means
that social work practitioners must acquire a level of expertise in organization theory, dynamics, structure, and behavior, and also an understanding of how organizations provide
practice opportunities and constraints. This course provides
opportunities for students to build the necessary skills to
become effective service providers or change agents in the
context of their work in social service organizations.
SWK 668 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 2
This course builds on the theoretical knowledge base of
SWK 667 and is intended to provide students with opportunities to apply those critical skills used in supervision and
management. These skills are intended as a base for the
beginning administrator. This course expects the student to
develop specific skills in budgeting and personnel/human
resource functions (e.g., recruitment, selection, hiring,
training, and evaluation). Prerequisite: SWK 667
SWK 669 Organizations/Social Administrative Practice 3
This course explores strategies and methods for working
effectively with other service agencies, legislative and policy-making bodies, regulatory agencies, and advocacy
groups. Prerequisite: SWK 668
SWK 675 Planning and Policy Practice 1
This course examines theoretical and conceptual ideas concerning human services, their rationale in a market economy, and their relationship to public policy. Students will
gain knowledge and build skills in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of services at various levels of system
design, taking into account organizational, financial, and
technological dimensions within an analytical framework of
defined need and demand for service.
SWK 676 Planning and Policy Practice 2
This course examines theories, concepts, and analytical
frameworks for analyzing policy. lt addresses the role of economics, demographics, politics, values, and other relevant
factors on policy design and implementation. The course
emphasizes the analysis of selected existing or proposed
policies in such areas as social insurance (e.g., Social Security), welfare reform, health care, long-term care, and tax
policy including tax expenditures. Prerequisite: SWK 675
Both Concentrations
SWK 699 General Elective
Students in both concentrations complete at least one general elective credit for graduation. The following are examples of elective offerings that are rotated each year:
• Parent and Professional Planning
• Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Aging
• Child Welfare: History, Policy, and Practice
• Social Work with Involuntary Clients
• Spirituality in Social Work and Human Services
We also offer electives abroad:
Exploring Human Services in International Settings (Examples include England, Mexico , Norway, Portugal, Slovenia,
and Taiwan.)
SWK 698 Independent Study
Students may propose to complete an independent study
project. Such directed study projects provide the opportunity for a student to explore a particular area of social work
that is of interest to him or her. A faculty sponsor must be
secured and a proposal submitted to the Social Work
Department. On rare occasions, an independent study may
be used to satisfy the general elective requirement. Prior
approval is required. Courses that are part of the required
curriculum may not be taken as independent study.
FIELD WORK AND FIELD PLACEMENT
Social work education goes beyond the classroom. Through
the field experience, we expect that sLUdents will demonstrate skills to bridge theory and practice. Collaborative
efforts between the student, the field agency, and the MSW
program are essential to successful learning. The foundation
of the practice includes:
• ethical, competent professional practice
• problem solving within a systems framework and
strengths perspective
• use of advanced practice theories in Family Practice or Program Development, Policy, and Administration settings
• evaluation of the effecLiveness of program or practice
activities
• an understanding of, and respecL for, diverse peoples and
cultures
• responsibility and service to the local and global community in the interest of social justice
• a commitment to oppose oppression of all forms
Field Education Format
Under the instruction and supervision of professionallytrained, MSW-level, and program-approved field instructors,
students will spend a minimum of 920 hours in two field
practica. Each practicum is spread over at least two
trimesters (fall and winter) and is concurrent with enrollment in field work integrative seminars as well as other
MSW coursework.
The fieldwork education of the MSW program is divided
into two components:
Foundation Practicum
The foundation practicum, or generalist practicum, puts
emphasis on developing competence as a professional generalist social worker. It requires a minimum of 420 hours
and is completed by students admitted at the foundation
level. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week during the fall and winter terms in this practicum.
Concentration Practicum
The concentration practicum places emphasis on advanced
practice skills and leadership qualities related to the chosen
concentration. It requires a minimum of 500 hours and is
completed by all students, including those admitted with
advanced standing. Students spend an average of 18 hours
per week during the fall and winter terms in this practicum.
Process for Field Practicum Selection
Field practica begin in the fall. Selection begins the previous
spring in collaboration with two other Twin Cities MSW
programs. Students attend the student field orientation
before beginning their search. The opportunity is also provided to attend a Field Fair held jointly by Augsburg College and the University of Minnesota School of Social Work.
At this Field Fair, students are able to meet a large number
of agencies and potential field instructors. Practicum selection involves interviews at approved sites, arranged by the
student, and a matching process conducted collaboratively
by the field coordinators at the three MSW programs in the
Twin Cities.
In some instances, students can petition to complete a field
practicum at an agency not on the approved list or at their
place of employment. Students work with the MSW field
coordinator for such proposals.

DUAL DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK AND THEOLOGY
Augsburg College's Department of Social Work (Minneapolis) and Luther Seminary (St. Paul) offer a dual degree: Master of Social Work and Master of Arts in theology
(MSW/MA) or Master of Divinity (MSW/MDiv). The dual
degree has been approved by both institutions and by the
Council on Social Work Education. If you are interested in
combining a Master of Social Work with a Master of Arts in
Theology, we recommend you begin with the Luther Seminary program first and identify yourself as seeking the dual
degree. For application information visit the Luther Seminary website at www.luthersem.edu/catalog/05_07/
dual_msw.asp.
Purpose
The dual degree focuses on meeting the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social
needs of families, individuals, and communities in both
rural and urban settings. Both institutions have a commitment to social and economic justice and to teamwork in the
pastoral and human service settings. This joint program is
ecumenical in its admission policies as well as its academic
outlook.
Objectives
Field Practicum Settings
Three primary objectives have been established:
The Augsburg field faculty are committed to the success of
each student in a stimulating and challenging field
practicum. Our current list of approved field sites includes
agencies in the following areas of practice:
• To educate practitioners in social work and ministry who
can combine the values, skills, and knowledge of both theology and social work to serve people in more holistic ways.
•

• To generate the partnerships necessary to serve the complex needs of communities and people experiencing transition in their lives, including the change of government
support for those in poverty.
• To prepare practitioners to seek the strengths of interdisciplinary teams in the human service and pastoral settings.
Enrollment
Dual degree students enroll in Luther Seminary courses
first. Upon completion of this first year of courses, students
then enroll in Augsburg courses for a second and third year
(full-time). In the dual degree, Luther Seminary offers nine
courses which can be completed in one year if pursued fulltime. The remaining Luther Seminary course requirements
are waived and replaced by the Augsburg MSW curriculum.
At Augsburg, dual degree students complete the entire
MSW curriculum with the exception of the general elective.
Course Format and Field Practicum
Luther Seminary courses are offered on a weekday schedule
and Augsburg College courses are offered on a weekend
schedule. The field practicum is incorporated into the Augsburg curriculum and will be in a setting reflective of the
dual degree program, such as congregational multidisciplinary teams, nursing home chaplaincy, and social work
teams. The Luther Seminary program and the Augsburg
College program are both full-time; it is not feasible for students to do both programs simultaneously.
Summary of Dual Degree Requirements
Luther Seminary full courses: 9
Augsburg College full credits: 12-advanced standing,
17-foundation (elective is met at Luther)
MSW field practicum course credit hours: see guidelines
under field practicum

page 9.
Admission as a transfer student
Students may apply to Augsburg as a transfer student. Transfer students follow the same procedure as new applicants.
Transfer students may receive up to eight (8.0) transfer
credits. (See evaluation of Transfer Credit on p. 6.) Eligible
courses must be from a CSWE-accredited program and must
receive a grade of B (3.0) or higher. Students must complete
no fewer than 10 (10.0) courses at Augsburg in order to
receive their MSW degree from Augsburg College.
Admission with Advanced Standing
Advanced standing is an application category open to those
with a bachelor's degree in social work accredited by the
Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) . Advanced
standing applicants may seek waivers for up to eight of the
following MSW courses: Human Behavior and the Social
Environment, History of Social Welfare Policy, Practice
Methods 1 and 2, and Integrative Fieldwork Seminars 1 and
2, which include 420 field practicum hours. Advanced
standing applicants must offer an equivalent BSW course for
each with a grade of B (3 .0) or higher in order to receive a
waiver.
Admissions Q&A
What do I do if my cumulative GPA is below 3.0?
Our faculty are willing to review the application files of
applicants with a cumulative GPA below 3.0; however, the
comparative standard remains 3.0 or higher. A small percentage of applicants not meeting the GPA prerequisite may
be admitted, if otherwise qualified. If your GPA is below 3.0,
you must include a brief "Explanation of GPA" with your
application documents. You should address the following
questions:
• Were there limitations that affected your GPA? If so, what
is your plan to address these limitations?
• Were there extenuating circumstances contributing to the
GPA? If so , have those circumstances been resolved?
Is human service experience required?
Although it is not a requirement, strong preference is given
to those applicants with paid or volunteer experience in
human services, particularly experience that demonstrates
responsibility and leadership. Applicants are advised that
MSW field placement options may be limited for those who
lack prior human service experience.
What if my prerequisite coursework is not done?
We require nine prerequisite courses for admission to our
MSW program. These include four social science courses,
three humanities courses, one biology course, and one statistics course. We are willing to review an application if at
least seven of the nine prerequisites are finished at the time
of application. This means a maximum of two prerequisites
can be pending or unfinished at the time of application and
the file will still be reviewed. In the event an offer of admission is extended, it will be conditioned on completion of
any outstanding prerequisite courses before enrollment in
MSW courses.
What if my bachelor's degree is not yet finished when I
apply?
We are willing to review the application file of an applicant
who is lacking one semester or two trimesters of coursework (including practicum) at the time of application. This
means that when you apply to our program in January; if
you have just finished your final fall semester but still have
a final spring term to complete, you must ensure that your
fall grades have been posted to the official transcript before
having it sent to our office for your application. In the event
an offer of admission is extended, it will be conditional on
the completion of the bachelor's degree before enrollment in
MSW courses.
Is academic credit granted for life or work experience?
Although experience will make for a strong application file,
we are unable to waive any degree requirements for work or
life experience. This is the policy in all CSWE-accredited
programs.
May I seek course waivers for the MSW courses listed on
the BSSW Equivalency Checklist if I have taken these
equivalent courses at the undergraduate level, but did
not major in social work?
Unfortunately; no. We offer course waivers for certain MSW
courses only when the entire BSSW major (CSWE-accred-
ited) has been completed by an applicant and we can therefore assume the applicant has been adequately prepared as a
generalist social worker. For the particular MSW courses
open for waiver to these advanced standing applicants, we
expect a grade of B or higher in the BSSW equivalent course.
But it also is expected that the remaining BSSW courses
from the social work major were completed satisfactorily
and the applicant graduated with an accredited bachelor's
degree. If an equivalent course has been taken from another
MSW program, please ask us about our transfer of credit
procedure.
Who makes the admission decision on my
application file?
Each application file is reviewed by three full-time social
work faculty who each make a recommendation on the file.
These recommendations are taken to the Social Work
Admissions Committee which then renders a final admission decision.
How long should my personal statement be?
On average, MSW applicants submit a personal statement
between three and five pages (double spaced). Approximately one page per question is considered adequate. Fewer
than three pages is probably too brief, but more than eight is
probably too much.
May I visit to speak with someone for advice on putting
together the strongest possible MSW application?
Absolutely! You may contact our graduate admissions counselor at 612-330-1520 or e-mail to mswinfo@augsburg.edu
to schedule an advising appointment.
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Academic Achievement
Students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative grade
point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following
term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored
in order for a student to be removed from probation. If the
cumulative grade point average again falls below 3.0, the
student may be dismissed from the program. Students are
retained in the program who can:
• maintain expected grade point average (3.0 or higher);
• complete course requirements of the program and field
placement in a timely manner;
• complete the program within four years;
• abide by the department's Standards for Social Work Education and the NASW Code of Ethics.
• No more than two courses with a grade of 2.0 or 2.5 will
count toward the degree. Courses with a grade below 2.0
must be repeated. No more than two courses can be
repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second
time are counted in the grade point average. If a student
receives a grade of N in a field course the MSW director
will initiate a Level III review, as outlined in section 3.2 of
the Standards for Social Work Education.
Evaluation of Student Field Performance
The criteria for evaluating field performance can be found in
the MSW Field Manual, which is distributed to newlyadmitted students at our field orientation prior to seeking
the field placement.

Four-Year Limit
All students are required to finish the degree within four
years of matriculation. See page 5 for policy on Continutation of coursework or final thesis.
Leave of Absence
Students who interrupt their program enrollment must
request a leave of absence through the MSW program in
order to maintain their admitted status. The request must be
made in writing. A leave of absence typically requires a full
year away from the program in order to return to classes in
sequence.
Examples of Social Work Graduate Scholarships
Carl A. Scott Book Scholarship
Two $500 scholarships offered each year to students from
ethnic groups of color. Applications due in May (go to
www.cswe.org).
Gosnell Scholarship Funds
Ten awards ($1 ,000-$4 ,000) offered to social work students
interested in working with American Indian/Alaska Native
and Hispanic/Latino populations or in public and voluntary
nonprofit agency settings. Applications due in August (see

Prerequisite Courses
All foundation courses are prerequisite to the concentration
courses. Students may not enroll in the concentration
courses until successfully completing all foundation
courses. In addition there are individual courses that are
prerequisite to other individual courses in the MSW curriculum. These are listed in the MSW Handbook, which is distributed to newly-admitted students and can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/socialwork/msw/policies.html.
Graduate Scholarship Search Tips
Searching for grants and scholarships for graduate study can
be an arduous task. As you may know, graduate students do
not have access to many of the financial aid opportunities
open to undergraduates. Because of this, we strongly
encourage you to spend some time doing your own independent research into graduate funding available locally,
nationally; and globally.
The simplest way to begin a search for graduate funding is
to look online. There are many "free" scholarship search
engines on the Web. We suggest you start with these before
moving on to the fee-based ser vices. As with most free services, there is a draw-back-your e-mail address may be
shared with other organizations that may send you solicitations. You should always use caution when providing your
personal information via the Internet. Make sure the webpage you are using to enter a "profile" about yourself is protected by a security system. This is usually indicated by
your browser with a closed padlock icon in the lower right
corner. You should also check the fine print and know if
anything besides your e-mail address will be sold to other
organizations. Having said that, the following websites may
provide a good starting point for your search :
www.naswfoundation.org
www.gradloans.com
www.cswe.org
www.gradschools.com
www.mnsocialserviceassoc.org
www.fastweb.com
Vern Lyons Scholarship
One award ($2,000) offered to students interested in
health/mental health practice and a commitment to the
African American community. Applications due in August

American Indian, Asian, GLBT, Hispanic and Immigrant
Cultures in completing their education in the Human Service Field. Applications due in June (see www.mnsocialserviceassoc .org).
Marjorie J. Carpenter Scholarship
One $1,500 award offered to students seeking education in
the human service field so they may enhance their professional and/or technical skill development. Applications due
injune (see www.mnsocialserviceassoc.org).
Resources in Academic Libraries
Most academic libraries have several directories to peruse if
you prefer using hard print. Examples in Augsburg's library
reference section:
Grants Register
Directory of Financial Aids for Women
Scholarships and Other Financial Aid for Minnesota Students
Financial Aid for Native Americans 1999-2000
(part of a series consisting of additional volumes for African
Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans .)

MSW FORUM
All MSW students are invited to participate in the studentrun organization, MSW Forum. The purpose of the forum is
to facilitate communication between social work students
and the social work department, as well as to provide the
opportunity for student participation in department governance, curriculum development, and program improvements. As such, forum members are invited to attend Social
Work department meetings via representatives.
The forum historically has been volunteer based. Any student may serve on the forum, provided he or she can make
a commitment to attend the meetings and share in the
efforts. The MSW director and MSW program coordinator
also serve on the forum. Other faculty may be invited as permanent members or as guests.
• receive and give feedback on expectations of faculty, students, and the College
• plan and coordinate MSW student events, lectures, discussions
• organize social action projects

Alternate Life-styles and Consciousness: An Examination of
Possibilities
This course intends to examine, through empirical example and
relevant literature, the resurgence of conscious attempts to put
together new forms of social life: rural and urban communes,
intentional communities, co-op living and buying and other
residential and economic groupings differing froin the usual established forms. Simultaneously, there is growing interest in
such seemingly disparate topics as altered states'of consciousness, organic food, fundamental aspects of religion--Christian
alternatives. (The list is longer.) We see today clear evidence
for both the intent to experiment with new life ways and the
intent to view the world from a different place. Basically,
perhaps, these two issues are the same. We will consider points
at which the two issues of new life-ways and "new" consciousness
touch and merge.

Requirements and Course Load
The interim is an integral part of the fall semester at Augsburg College.
The number of interims required for graduation is equal to one interim less
than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a student
enrolled full-time for four years is required three interims; a student enrolled full-time for two years is required one interim. While a student is
not required to enroll in an interim, helshe pays tuition for an interim
during each year helshe is enrolled full-time at Augsburg. Tuition for the
interim is paid as a part of the fall tuition payment. A student may take
an interim in the major or outside the major. Each discipline may require
one interim of its majors, and each student may elect one additional interim
in the major. Beyond the two interims in the major each student will elect
interims outside the major.
One interim course is the limit of the student's academic load during the
one-month term.
June Interims
Each year an interim course will be offered for the following June term of
summer school. A student may enroll in a June interim course in lieu of
the January term. If helshe elects June rather than January, there will be
no additional tuition charge. Students planning the June interim in lieu
of January, however, must register for the June interim at the time of interim
registration in the fall. Students wishing to take the June interim in
addition to the January one will be required to pay regular one summer course
tuition.
Distribution Requirements and Grading
Each department at Augsburg offers at least one interim course that will
fulfill the distribution requirements for graduation. Each instructor determines the manner in which the interim will be graded. The grading is listed with each interim description: Traditional; PIN; Optional.
-.
-
#
n interim course should make the same time-demands upon the student as a
standard semester course. The'number and length of class meetings is not
rigidly fixed. Students, however, should plan for in-class participation
of about ten hours per week. In addition, there will be labs, field study,
travel, reading, reports, and papers.
On-Campus Classes and Off-Campus Classes
The following catalogue lists the interim courses available at Augsburg.
In addition to these courses, Augsburg students may enroll for their interim
at Hamline, Macalester, or St. Catherines in St. Paul, and at St. Olaf iq
Northfield, as well as any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal
interim arrangement. Students planning an interim, other than the Take-Five
Colleges, need to clear their plans with the Interim Director. Should
students have questions about other campus interims and major requirements,
they should consult with the department chairman of their major. Should they
have questions about other campus interims and distribution requirements,
they should consult with the Registrar.
The ALC Joint Interim
The 1975 interim will bring together, for the third year, students from a
number of American Lutheran Church colleges for a joint learning and living
experience. The 1975 joint interim will focus on a common theme: "Community
Awareness: The Future is Now." Courses will be offered in Minneapolis, in
St. Paul, and in Omaha, Nebraska.
While arrangements have been made for joint housing, Augsburg College students
may enroll in a joint interim course without participating in the housing
arrangements.
Independent Study
Students may elect an independent study program for the interim. If they
plan such, they must meet the department's requirements for independent
study. They must also present, at the time of registration for the interim,
a written agreement from the individual instructor who will direct their
independent study program. A topic and tentative outline, including bibliography for the independent study, must be submitted to the instructor and the
office of the Interim Director no later than December 12, 1974. No independent
study will be accepted after December 12.
The interim day is divided into two blocks of time. These time periods are
flexible, but the flexibility will be determined by the instructor and the
class at the first session.
I - 8:OO - 12:30
I1 - 12:30 - 5:OO
rn'IST
All interim classes will meet the first and last class days of the interim.
Class I will meet on the first day at 9:00 a.m. Class I1 will meet on the
first day at 1:00 p.m.
Cancelling, Adding and Grading
Tuesday, January 7, 1975, is the last day for cancelling and adding a course.
Friday, Januray 10, 1975, is the last day for determining-optional grade.

Homo Sapien for Better or Worse
Using mainly lectures, reinforced with guest speakers and films,
attempt to teach some basic biological concepts from an anthropocentric point of view. An attempt to answer such questions as:
What makes man just another member of the biotic fold? Does man
have a niche in the ecosystem? What affect does man have upon the
environment? What affect does the environment, especially the
urban environment, have on man?

Energy, Man, and the Environment
As you and those in your generation take over the running of the
world, what will it run on? Just food and air? Certainly those,
but what else? What are the world's sources of energy for your
generation and your children's generation? We'll study them in
this interim--fusion power; hydrogen; fission power; geothermal
energy; solar energy; petroleum fuels; coal; hydroelectric systems;
the tides; wind. And food, too. Food not only gives us energy
for living, it requires energy for growing--fuels for machines,
for making fertilizer, for pumping water. We'll look closely
at both the prospects of each fuel and the problems--strip mining;
air pollution; radioactive wastes; salination of soil; harm to
wildlife and people; oil blackmail.
The intent is that you become informed to the point where you know
something about these matters and can inform others; where you can
participate intelligently in making the moral choices that surely
will face you; where you know how to stay informed, how to find
information, how to keep up to date.
The level will be semi-technical. We may use one of the several
environmental science books now available as a basic text and then
exploit other books, articles and government publications. We'll
study many films--high quality color films. If the opportunity
arises--there's no way to know this early--we'll visit a nuclear
power plant. We'll meet about four times a week, about two hours
or so at a time, (depending on the film for the day.) W s course
assumes a knowledge of high school chemistry or the equivalent.

community and the other members of the group. The class will not
only be as a learning community for the month, but a working,
living and worshiping community as well. While at the monastery,
students will be expected to participate as fully as possible in
the discipline of the monastic community and will spend a part of
each day in class and part of the day working in agricultural and
social projects in the village. Also, conscious attention will be

World Order and Religion
The world appears to be in a state of crisis. What is necessary
to provide order? What kind of order would be best? Usually we
turn to political science or ecological sciences to find the answers
and principles of order. However, religions have also been ways in
which people have ordered their world. We will take that approach.
What are leading religious and theological concepts of order? What
does the religious map of the world look like today? What can religion
contribute to world order? What might the future be and how can we
work toward a desirable future with regard to religion and world
community? Reading, discussion, lecture, simulation games. Opportunity
for community life with students of other colleges, nations and
religions connected with the Joint Interim Program, "An International
Landscaping of the Future."

The Church and Social Change in Capitol City
In the constant flux of urban life with its population shifts,
housing blights, and new freeways, certain Twin City churches
(35 - 40 ALC churches among them) find themselves in a changing
situation. Such churches find it difficult to cope with the change
and to find meaningful ways of organizing to deal constructively with
the circumstances. The student class will explore by experience
and involvement on behalf of three churches in the inner stratum of
St. Paul. Such a class can help provide information for formulating
an approach. The three are in sight of the legislature, which
helps determine much life in the area. Some students will act as
legislative aides for the January session -- providing light and
shadow for what is being encountered in the area. (ALC Joint Interim)

AUGSBURG COLLEGE
CATALOG
Augsburg College
731-21st Ave. So.
Minneapolis, Mn. 55454
332-5181
Dr. Donald Custafson, Interim Director
The Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It is
particularly intended to be a time providing opportunities for both students and
faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning, to investigate particular questions
and topics and to use urban and other off-campus resources in ways not possible
during the regular term.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at
least three must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of
full time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer student enrolled full time for two
years is required t o complete one interim for graduation).
A student may not receive credit for more than two interims in the student's major
Also, only one interim course in religion may be applied to the three course
requirement in religious studies.
There are no tuition refunds for students who choose not t o enroll in an interim
course.
One course is considered a full time load during interim and no student is permitted
t o register for more than one course during the period.
(;RAI)IN(; AN]) COIJRSIE LISTI'
INGS
Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0. Students
generally have the option t o register on a Pass/No Credit basis. A few interim courses
are graded only on the PIN system; this limitation is indicated in the course
description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim
courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering
for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and/or a more
rigorous grading standard.
OIBTIONS
June Interim
At least two interim courses will be offered in the June 1976 session of summer
school. An Augsburg student may register in a June interim course in lieu of the
January term with no additional tuition charge; however, students planning to elect
the June interim must register at the time of interim registration in the fall. Students
wishing to take the June interim in addition to the January one will be required to pay
regular summer course tuition.
Independent or Directed Study
Students may elect a program of either independent study (upper division) or
directed study (lower division) for the interim. Faculty members are strongly
discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed
study per interim. Students electing independent or directed study must:
1)
meet departmental requirements
2)
present at registration a written statement from the faculty member who
will direct the study
submit to the Interim director by December 1 a description of the intended
study, (topic, procedure, end result, and form of evaluation). Students not
submitting this information by December 1 will have their registration
cancelled.
Interims at Other Schools
3)
Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal
interim arrangement. Catalogs of these interim offerings can be consulted in the
Interim Center, Room 111 Memorial Hall. Registration for interims at the Twin City
colleges and at St. Olaf will be done at Augsburg during the regular registration period.
Students interested in attending any other institution during the interim should consult
with the Interim Director or his secretary (Room 1 11, Memorial Hall).
Non-Augsburg Students
Augsburg College will accept 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 charged in addition t o tuition. Other students will be charged
$310 for the interim course.
Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write t o the Interim
Director for appropriate application forms. These students are responsible for their
own housing and boarding arrangements, though requests for on-campus housing can
be made t o the office of the interim director.

Room: Art Studio 6
The Arts of Spain
Instructor: Philip Thompson
A study of cross-cultural influences in art and architecture which appear to have blown into Spain on
the winds of political change and which were deposited as monuments to both Western and Eastern
civilization. El Greco, Velasquez and Goya reflect these influences and exert a personal freedom of
expression which is characteristically Spanish. Picasso, Miro, Gaudi and Dali are modern examples of
the Spanish artistic temperament nutured by centuries of "contradictoriety" via the country's great
wealth and extreme deprivation. Although Spain appears to be untouched by Modernism, its artists
have led revolutions in the arts.
The purpose of this interim in Spain is also to investigate great art collections which are housed in and
around Madrid, Burgos and Barcelona. Since Spanish art and architecture seem unaffected by the 20th
Century Avant-Garde and the electronic revolution, this would be a chance to step out of our psychedelic
cosmography into the perspective of the time in which the art of the Spanish past was created.
Cost will be approximately $895.00. PIN grading.
Prerequisite: Consent of Instructor; Register with Director of International Programs, Memorial Hall 125.
Distribution: Humanities
Scientific Racism
Instructors: Johnny Bland, Roberta Lammers
What is the biological definition o f race? What do biologists say about the evolution o f races? Is the
biological concept o f race compatible with cultural and societal definitions? What is racism? We will
be examining these questions along with the history o f the eugenics movement and the current
controversies about race and IQ and about population control and food supply. Some o f the authors
we will be reading critically are Charles Darwin, Francis Galton, Hans Eysenck, Arthur Jensen, Richard
Hernstein, Ashley Montagu, Garrett Hardin, Stephen Rose, and Robert Williams.
Prerequisites: Knowledge o f high school biology or equivalent
Distribution: Science/Math, Urban
Time: I1
Room: Science 21 3
Evolution: Believe It or Not
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
For many decades most biologists have accepted the theory o f organic evolution as being supported by
a body o f irrefutable evidence. Nevertheless, there has been an upsurge o f antievolutionism in the past
few years, which has led to a great deal of discussion and the publication o f numerous books on the
subject. In this course the historical development o f the theory o f evolution from Darwin to the
present time will be traced. The evidence in support o f the theory will be discussed, and the mechanisms
o f evolution as presently understood by biologists will be studied. During the last part of the course
some o f the recent antievolution literature which attempts to refute the scientific evidence will be
examined. In this part o f the course people representing various points o f view will be invited to some
o f the sessions.
Prerequisites: At least a high school course in biology
Distribution: Science/Math
Time: I
Room: Science 205
Instructors: Robert Herforth, Kermit Paulson
Nuclear Radiation Science
(Biological Emphasis) :
Oak Ridge Special Science Seminar
A study o f nuclear radiation with emphasis on applications and "hands-on" laboratory experience for
the individual student. The course will consist o f ( 1 ) introductory work on radiation detection and
measurement at Augsburg, (2)participation in the 1976 Oak Ridge Special Science Seminar where the
student has the opportunity to design his or her course o f study from projects in nuclear radiation
physics, radiobiology, radiochemistry, environmental radiation, nuclear medicine, health physics, and
radiological safety, and (3) summary and evaluation of the program back at Augsburg. Students may
receive credit in Biology for this course by selecting projects having a biological orientation.
This course is a cooperative venture with Oak Ridge Associated Universities - Special Training Division,
and is the only opportunity of its kind in the United States. Two weeks of the course will be spent
in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, utilizing the instructional staff and laboratory facilities of ORAU Special
Training Division. These facilities provide the opportunity for laboratory experience not normally

Symmetry in the Arts and Sciences
Instructor: Margaret Etter
The fundamental concepts of symmetry are universally appreciated. Small children entranced with a
spinning top, musicians creating a fugue, scientists exploring crystal structures, and naturalists
enjoying a buttercup are all more or less consciously involved with the science o f symmetry. We will
explore the many facets of symmetry in our life, culture, and history as outlined by Martin Gardner
in his intriguing text, The Ambidextrous Universe. An appreciation for the different types of
symmetries involving rotations, reflections, inversions, and translations will be systematically studied,
using H. Weyl's classic book, Symmetry. The symmetry operations used by the late artist M. C.
Escher in his graphic works will ako be studied in some detail.
One short seminar, one written report, and one creative project involving symmetry in any discipline
will be required, in addition to routine class assignments and quizzes.
Prerequisites: None
Distribution: Science/Math
Time: I
Room: Memorial Hall 1

Things That Go Bump In The Night:
The Literature of Fantasy
Instructor: Ron Palosaari
Human imagination has filled many books with strange creatures such as hobbits, ghosts, elves, and
ghouls. Some of these creatures delight our taste for the fanciful. Others stir our fears. As the old
Scottish prayer puts it:
"From ghosties and ghoulies and wee little beasties
And things that go bump in the night
Good Lord, deliver us. "
We will spend the month reading and discussing works of fantasy. We will start with Tolkien's The
Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy and wander from there t o other fantasy writers. If
January winds blow us some luck, there may be a film, a play, or a television show or two that will
give us some additional fun.
The course is open only to the curious andlor devoted. Students will establish their curiosity or
devotion by reading at least The Hobbit and Fellowship o f the Rings before the class begins. The
instructors who are slightly suspicious as well as curious and devoted will give an examination on the
four Tolkien books on the third day o f class.

The Short Story and Archetypes
Instructor: Richard Sargent
We shall read and discuss a collection o f short stories by some familiar writers (Hemingway, Lawrence,
Hesse) and some not so familiar (Anais Nin, Akutagawa, Tanizaki) from a variety of points o f view,
but with emphasis on one called archetypal criticism, an interdisciplinary approach using insights from
anthropology, psychology, sociology, and religion t o understand literature. The collection of stories
will be of interest even to those who have read widely, since the selections are not over-anthologized,
and represent a wide number of cultures. The course would be appropriate for someone just learning
how to discuss and write about literature, but it would also be of interest to a literature student who
wished to learn more about archetypal criticism.

History of London
Instructor : Orloue Gisselquist
"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford"
(Dr. Samuel Johnson, 18th century). This course does not promise all that! But London does offer
much of value and interest to study. Its amazingly rapid growth since mid 16th century has meant
that Londoners have felt, thought about, and responded to modern urban problems for at least
four centuries. Its business community was at the forefront of economic change in the Western world
for several centuries. Several times the city has represented high points in the history of European
culture. It has had a massive influence on English society generally (well illustrated by its demographic
preponderance in the nation) and a powerful leverage on British politics (whose capital was
conveniently located just a few miles up the Thames River). And fortunately, for the purpase of our
study, there is a great deal of literature about the city that is readily available.
Urban history, and hopefully this course, appeals t o students o f various disciplines - geography,
architecture, popular culture, economics, urban planning, political science, as well as history. Both
in class activities and student assignments, there will be an effort t o construct the course so as to
reflect this interdisciplinary interest. There will be wide choice in the matter o f assignments; it is
understood, though, that an individual project emphasizing literature or architecture will evidence
the insights and background gained in the broader concerns o f the course.

Instructors: Joel Torstenson, Carl Chrislock
A Bicentennial study of the cultural and socioeconomic metamorphosis of an historic American city.
The study will begin with an examination of the Philadelphia of William Penn; its socio-historic
origins, its dreams, urban imagery and city design. With this starting point as background, the course
will proceed to examine the sequential transformation of the city as it participates in the American
Revolution, the industrial revolution, the 20th Century urban crisis, and the "urban renaissance" of
the post-industrial city. Readings and other sources such as films will be selected from both social
sciences and humanities. In the third week of the Interim, the course will be conducted in Philadelphia
where academic, civic, and cultural leaders will guide the study. Special attention will be focused
upon contemporary developments in Philadelphia such as the redevelopments of its historic central
city and other urban renewal programs, the "urban renaissance" movement and the socio-political
developments relating to the urban crisis. The implications of these developments for the city's
present and future dreams and design and how they fit into America's "quest for the humane city"
will be a guiding theme for the course.

between the demands of population density and American life-style preferences, but will also examine
the ways in which political pressures and economic considerations affect the patterns of urban housing.
During regular class hours the class will meet occasionally at off-campus sites such as the Minneapolis
Housing Authority, new apartment developments, and rehabilitated houses in older city neighborhoods.
The course grade will be based on the quality of class participation and on a "take-home" examination

Death and Play in Zen and Don Juan
Instructor : Jerry Gerasimo
There are interesting parallels between the teachings of Don Juan, the Yaqui Shaman, and the
instructions of the Zen Buddhist masters to their pupils. We will compare these methods as to form,
content, and implications. We will compare the roles of death, time, and play in their teachings, and
ask what ways can these teachings be transferred to ordinary life. The texts used will include: Carlos
Castaneda, A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan; Eugene Herrigel, Zen in the Art of Archery; and
D. T. Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture.
Prerequisites: None

Issues in Human Development: A Cultural Perspective
Instructor: Joel Mugge
The interim will be based both in Mexico City and in a Benedictine monastery in the village o f
Ahuatapec near Cuernavaca,Mexico. Travel to Mexico will be by charter bus and train. The goal of
the interim will be to provide both an academic and experimental framework for the students to
clarify their social and religious values as these values are placed in juxtaposition with those of the
Mexican culture, the monastic community, and other members of the group. The class will not only
be a learning community for a month, but a working, living, and worshipping community as well.
While at the monastery, students will be expected to participate as fully as possible in the discipline of
the monastic community and will spend a part o f each day in class and part of the day working in
agricultural projects in the village. Also, conscious attention will be given to the building of community
within the group itself,and the skills involved in developing community. In addition, some time will
be spent in small groups in travel experiences to other parts of Mexico. Background reading, an
extensive daily journal, and a final paper will be required.
The cost will be approximately $450. PIN grading.

CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES IN BIOLOGY
BIOLOGY: 20106
Instructor: R. Lammers
R . Sulerud
"Scientific creationists" revive the argument against
the theory of evolution, and a debate i s held a t the
University of Minnesota. A book i s published claiming
the production of a cloned human, b u t the developmental
biologists react negatively. Farmers engage in verbal
(and sometimes physical ) battle with environmentalists
over the "endangered" status of wolves in Minnesota. A
nobel 1 aureate argues the genetic inferiority of blacks
and geneticists reply.
The popular press abounds in a r t i c l e s relating to
controversies related to biology. There are disputes
between biologists and others as well as sharp disagreements among biologists. Several of the issues will be
considered in t h i s course including the following:
Evolution; genetic engineering ( e .g. , cloning,
recombinant DNA); abortion; eugeEics and racism; 1 i f e
on other planets and the environmentalist movement.
Readings wi 11 be assigned and topics will be introduced
by the instructors. There will be ample time f o r
discussion and a number of guests will be invited to
participate. As time and arrangements allow, a few
f i e l d t r i p s may be taken. Students will concentrate
on one topic as the basis of an oral ( i f possible) or
written report. Eva1 uation will be based on the
report, an examination relating to the topics
considered, and class discussions.

a r e introduced early and are taught as needed f o r
understanding t h e various t o p i c s and implications.
The course does assume the student i s interested in
and concerned about the r e l a t i o n s h i p o f chemistry to
life and living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part o f liberal educat i o n f o r centuries. The early s c i e n t i s t s were c o n s i dered to be phi losophers and t h e i r societies were
philosophical societies. In recent decades t h e human
seeking of personal independence has led to chemistry
becoming a part o f everyday l i f e t o the p o i n t o f
actual dependence on chemistry. We l i v e i n a world
of p e s t i c i d e s , f e r t i l i z e r s , p l a s t i c s , "the p i l l " , food
a d d i t i v e s and processed foods, v i t a m i n supplements,
the energy c r i s i s , chemical dependency, biocides,
pol 1 u t a n t s , drugs, searching f o r 1i fe on other p l a n e t s ,
genetic manipulation,-and i t goes on and on. Emotions
and mental disorders can o f t e n be traced to chemical
imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy feel i n g
a f t e r an afternoon nap i s a result o f a chemical
imbalance, The nature o f a hangover i s the result o f
a complex system of a ?t e r ~ dbody chemistry. Even
1earni ng appears to be the resul t of chemi ca1 r e a c t i o n
to form a "memory m o l e ~ u l e ' ~ ,Most o f the problems we
face are molecular in nature, What then b u t chemistry
can better h e l p us t o understand ourselves, our
society, our world, and our universe? Come join us
as we take a molecular look at the human condition.

Augsburg Courses
Introduction t o Interim
I n t e r i m is an integral part of the schoolyear 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~ a n u a r ~
Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both
students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and
to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible
during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should
plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for
class as they would for a four-course load during Fall and Spring
semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during
Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not
to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale.
Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit
basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/N system;
this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the
student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous
grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one
Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis
of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or
handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and
employment practices.

International Interim-Students arc invited to bc part of one of the
23 international interims offcrcdby the Uppcr Midwest Association for lntcmationfll Education (U M AIE). Thcsc course opportuni ties arc listed near the cnd of this catalog.
Internships-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 theInternshipOffice (Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the
last day of Fall classes (Friday, December 8). The Learning Agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during
Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately
4 weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the
Internship and Cooperative Education office.
Independent or Directed Study-Studentsmay elect a program of
independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower
division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibilityfor 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 for approval a copy of the proposed
study plan approved by the supervising faculty member.
This proposal must be submitted at least one week before
registration and no later than December 4. Appropriate
study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any
other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in the Interim
Office. The Interim Secretary will help students in applying for
registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at the other
Twin Cities colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 41-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not
necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered
for the Religion requirement.
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 $650
for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an
Augsburg Interim should write to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their
own school. There is an applicationprocessingfee of $10. Students
are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so.
Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office.

Viruses: At the Threshold of Life
BIO 116-40003
Instructor: Robert Herforth
Most biologists consider viruses to be the simplest form of
life. Most viruses consist basically of a few genes surrounded by a protein coat. They are able to function and
multiply only as parasites inside living cells. For all their
seeming simplicity, some of the most dreaded diseases
afflicting humans are caused by viruses, including polio,
rabies, AIDS, and some forms of cancer. This course will
begin with a short history of some major discoveries on
viruses, followed by a study of the structure of viruses, and
their multiplication in and effects on living cells. We will
also look at the ways in which the body defends itself
against viral invasion, at the development of vaccines and
new anti-viral drugs, and at some important diseases
caused by viruses, including AIDS. Grades will be based
on several quizzes and exams given during the course.

vacuum environment, and with the physical behavior of
gases and surfaces under vacuum conditions. Activities
will include both seminars and laboratory sessions, some
in conjunction with Physics 325. Students will learn to use
high vacuum pumps and gauges, a modern mass spectrometer, and PC-based computer controllers and computer-compatible sensors.
Grades will be based on laboratory work, two quizzes, and

The Prose Poem: Creative Writing in the
Florida Keys
ENG 234-40031; 345-40033
Instructor: John Mitchell
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to
creative writing and to refine the creative writing of more
experienced students through attention to fidelity of imagery and integrityof simile,metaphor,rhythm, and sound.
The prose poem is a friendly, productive form to achieve
these goals because of its emphasis upon down-to-earth
personal observation and reportorial response to the natural and human environment, which, in this case, will be the
Florida Keys. Instruction in the history and techniques of
the prose poem will be accompanied by some attention to
the literary response of Ernest Hemingway and Wallace
Stevens to Key West. Some interdisciplinary experience
with Phil Thompson's course in drawing and watercolor
and Ralph Sulerud's course in marine biology, as a way of
facilitating "seeing." Grading will be based upon the
quality and progress in writing ten revised prose poems.
Students who take the course for upper division credit will
be required to do additional reading and to make oral
reports to the class based on this reading.
Further informationwill be found listed under THE FLORIDA KEYS at the beginning of the list of courses.
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor and, for upper
division credit, one college course in creative writing.

French Literature in Translation
FRE 243-40030
Instructor: Ruth Aaskov
What is there about French literature that merits the English translation of so much of it? What is its attraction, its
power, its human and artistic significance for the reader?
With these questions in mind, we will read, react to, and
analyse a variety of shorter French works available to us in
English.
We will explore masterpieces of earlier times like those of
Rabelais, Montaigne, Voltaire, Balzac, and Flaubert, as
well as significant 20th Century works. Reading and discussion of the common core works will be followed by
your personal study of a chosen short work to be shared
with the class via a short comparative paper. Mini-lectures
and study guides will help attentive reading of the works
and developing your communication and critical skills.
Evaluation will include your progress in group work and

investigate theevolutionof that roleand the way that it has
been exercised in the past 150 years. We will study the
interaction of women with reform movements in an effort
to discover how women influenced major reform efforts
and how, in turn, those movements reshaped the role of
women in an industrializing and urbanizing society.
Our investigation will include several books, primarily
biographies of such reformers as Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Margaret Sanger and Jane Addams and studies of such
movements as suffrage, antislavery, educational reform,
political reform, women's rights, and peace activisni.

in which they were created? Is art timebound or timeless?
All art forms are linked to a particular time and place. We
see that the visual arts, music and theatre always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of its time. Using examples of music, art and theatre created in France in the
years 1650-1900, the course will explore how to appreciate
and understand the various art forms, examine the relationships among the arts, and consider the expression of
enduring themes and ideas at different points in time.

Philosophy
The Ethics of Killing and Letting Die
PHI 146-40053
Instructor: David Apolloni
Is abortion wrong? Is killing a terminally-ill person murder? Are there some crimes for which capital punishment
is justified? Is there such a thing as a just war?
These questions and the various answers proposed arouse
deep emotions and often hostile confrontations among
many groups in our society. All too often, complex moral
issues get reduced down to simplistic slogans when these
groups campaign to maintain or change laws on these
issues.
This course will utilize readings on these complex and
burning moral issues as an introduction to ethics and
critical moral thinking. We will consider some philosophical theories on the nature of moral obligation and personhood to help us get past emotions and slogans to a much
deeper and informed understanding of the philosophical
problcms which lic behind thc controversies surrounding
aborlion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and war.
The course will combine lecture and class discussion on
some contemporary philosophical readings on killing.
Students' work will be evaluated on the basis of four (2 to
3) page papers (each on some aspect of one of the topics)
and class participation.

Philosophy of Science
PHI 365-40037
Instructor: Ken Bailey
Sometimesitis said that welive in the Age of Science. What
does that mean? In what sense(s)might such a statement
be said to be true or false? On the other hand, some
astrologers say that we have just begun the Age of Aquarius, the Water Bearer, who is supposed to usher in an age
of peace and prosperity. Are these two notions in conflict?
Are they compatible? Is it really true that only science can
say something meaningful about Reality? Are there any
limits to scientific method? What does science have to say
about values? How do you recognize a pseudo-science?
These and other questions about scientificmethods, scientific knowledge, and applications of science to human life
will be examined. (Is your future written in the stars?)
Primarily a discussion course. Grades will be based upon
a mid-term and a final examination; course participation;
and a study project.

Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 1-2-3)have been used extensively
in business for years. However it is also possible to solve
physics problems without using high-powered mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the student who is not an expert in
mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive
level. We will use Lotus 1-2-3 to solve problems in a wide
variety of physics areas including planetary motion and
projectile motion. Some of the problems investigated
might be in areas other than physics. Grading will bebased

Political Science
Social Justice in America
POL 140-40059
Instructor: Andy Aoki
Social justice is one of the burning issues of modem politics. For moral theorists, the nature of socialjustice is a continuing challenge; For practical politicians, it is a question
which can bc ignorcd but not avoidcd. From pmatal caw
for poor women to mcdical c a p for the elderly, most
important public policy debates involve questions of social
justice. To adequately consider these policy questions, one
must have some conception of social justice.
In this class, you will work to develop your ideas of social
justice, and to understand how they apply to public policies. The policies to be considered will vary depending on
student interest, but the range of possible issues is vast,
including such topics as student financial aid, jobs programs, school choice, aid to the poor, Social Security,
environmental protection, and military service.
The majority of class time will be spent in discussions.
Participation is essential. Reading will be fairly light, but
everyone is expected to actively engage in class activities
and discussions. No prior knowledge is needed, but an
interest in public issues is important. Requirements will
consist of short papers, class participation, and a brief final
exam.
Although the workload is moderate, the course is mentally
demanding. Rigorous thinking about social justice can be
troubling; some questions will be provocative and disturbing. Students should be willing to tackle difficult intellectual challenges; doing so will enable you to gain a better
understanding of some of the most difficult problems of
our time, and to make a greater contribution to efforts to
deal with those problems.

REL 251-40063;349-40067
Instructors: John Benson and Duane Addison
We invite you to come to Hawaii with us for a special class.
Other January Interim courses go to Hawaii as well, but
this one will be distinctive.
Saying "Hawaii" can conjure up images of beaches, palm
trees, and winter tans. We will not ignore these aspects of
Hawaii, but we will also probebeneath the image projected
to most tourists. We will study how Hawaii
"works"-politically, economically, and culturally. Three
social problems in particular tourism, militarism, and cultural confrontation will provide the focus of this learning
experience from a Christian ethical point of view.
First we will look at some less attractive aspects of the
tourism industry. Who benefits and who loses? Representatives of Hawaii's diverse peoples and viewpoints will
offer insights into the ecological, economic, and political
consequences of marketing the islands as a tourist paradise.
Secondly we will learn to see the U.S. military presence on
the islands in a new way. Many Americans associate
Hawaii with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and World War
11. But the presence of the U.S. Pacificcommand continues
to have significant implications for both the people and
ecosystems of Hawaii.
Finally, culturn1 conflict and confrontation in Hawaii will
be studied. Many immigrant groups havc come to the
islands: Japnesc, chine.^, Filipinos, Tongans, Samoans,
Portuguese,mainland Americans, and others. The interaction of these groups with native Polynesians yields a high
degree of cultural diversity. We will learn about the
exploitation and racial tensions that exist, as well as ways
in which diversity is appreciated and celebrated.
The cost for the course is $1,995.00, and it can be taken for
religion or crosscultural credit. We will visit the islands of
Oahu, Hawaii, and Maui, traveling via buses, vans, and
planes. Our accommodations will vary, including a camp
in the mountains, another camp on the beach, and several
tourist-level hotels.
Grades will be based on degree of involvement, the quality of contribution to the discussions and a journal. Upper
division credit will require a special project which will involve a presentation to the group.
Distribution: Religion
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor; for upper division credit, one course in college level religion, East

The Theology of Marriage
REL 343-40070
Instructors: Curt Paulson, Cathy Paulson
Marriage has been described in terms of a free fall, a
decision which we often make with a portion of our brain
and all of our heart. This course will take nothing from the
heart, whether you are married or not, but it will increase
your sureness and the possibility for meaning/intimacy in
your life with a significant other. Within the context of
Christian teachings, many theories, with particular attention given to the work of C. G. Jung, will be studied and
applied to the marital relationship and secondarily to the
family.
There will be lectures, discussion, and visiting resource
persons. Evaluation will be based on class participation,
and an examination. Two books will be required.

Instructor: Brad Holt
Off thebeaten track of American tourists, this journey will
focus on meeting African people, observing their religious
rituals, music and art, and pondering their history. We will
converse with urban and rural Africans of different faiths,
different levels of education, in different climates. After
visiting the collections of African art in London, we will
journey to Nigeria, an English-speaking nation, and the
most populous of all African states. There we will encounter the three basic religious traditions of Africa: African
Traditional Religions, Christianity, and Islam. Each will
bring intriguing surprises, as they reflect African culture in
ways different from what can be found in the U.S.A.
First we will visit Ibadan, largest traditional African city
and metropolis of the Yoruba people. We will explore the
contemporary forms of the ancient Yoruba tradition, observe the work of the babalawo or diviner, and the dramatic worship services of the Aladura Christian churches.
We will visit the universities of Ibadan and Ife to dialogue
with Nigerian professors and students.
At Benin, site of the ancient Kingdom discovered by the
Portuguese in the 1400s,we will observe the world famous
bronze sculptures in the Benin Art Museum. We will meet
different traditions among the Igbo people, whose culture
has been so dramaticallydescribed in the novels of Chinua
Achebe.
We will see the forces of change in the "Middle Belt" of
Nigeria, where in the villages the competition is sometimes
keen among the three religious traditions. We will stop to
swim and to view African animals in the Yankari Game
Reserve. Finally, we will visit the far north and the historic
city of Kano, former trading center for the trans-Sahara
trade routes, where camel trains can still sometimesbe discovered. The grand mosque and museum will help us
understand the Hausa and Fulani traditions of Islam in
Africa.
Through it all, we will live simply, encountering life in a
Third World country that is struggling to find appropriate
blendsof Africanand Western culture. We will travel light,
and experience the taste, the music, the art, and the worship of one of Africa's most energetic nations.
Evaluation: Each day participants will engage in structured dialogue and individual journal writing. Two short
tests will be given.
Required Readings: Lawson, Religions of Africa; Parrinder,
Religion in Africa; Kalu, The Nigerian Story.
The cost of $2,195 includes all air and ground transportation, accommodations and excursions, breakfast and one
dinner in London, breakfast and all dinners in Nigeria.
Registration must be made before October 27 at the International Programs Office, 2018 S 8th Street.

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 particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of
teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways
not possible during the regular term.
Because one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to
spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for
a four-course load during Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for
only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student
who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students
generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few Interim
courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the course
description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such
Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students
registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments
and a more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of
which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the number
of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer student enrolled full
time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).

About This Catalog
The catalog lists courses by departments. Departments are listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by
Augsburg but recognized by the College for Interim credit. Further descriptions
and information about these courses are available in the Interim Office, Memorial
230. Students may also register for one of the lifetime sports listed at the end of
the Catalog.
Options
International Interim - Students are invited to be part of one of the 27
international Interims offered by the Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE). These course opportunities are listed near the end of
this catalog.
Independent or Directed Study - Studentsmay elect a progt-am 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 for approval a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member. This proposal must be submitted at
least one week before registration and no later than December 3. Appropriate
study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-14 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these
Interims can be consulted in the Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will help
students in applying for registration at other schools.
Registration for Interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Note that Interim Courses at
Macalester, Hamline and St. Thomas begin on January 7 .
Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-14 schools are accepted
for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting
Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects
courses offered for the Religion requirement.
Visiting Students
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-14 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 $708 for the Interim course.
Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to
the Interim Director for application fonns or use the forms provided by the
Interim Office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10.
Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so.
Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office.
Courses
The Florida Keys: Marine Biology
of the Florida Keys and Writers of The Florida Keys
This interdisciplinay program will involve about two weeks of study i n southern
Florida. It will be based at the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute on Big Pine Key
during most of this period but there will also be a brief trip to the Everglades. Two
distinct course offerings are availablefor credit, taught by Ralph Sulerud and John
Mitchell. Descriptions for these courses can be found in the appropriate departmental
sections of this catalog (Biology and English.)
The interdisciplinay component will involve several days of field trips conducted by
the personnel of the institute. Unique communities such as coral reefs and mangrove
swamps will be studied. There will be plenty of opportunity for snorkeling, and scuba
diving is available for those who are certified. Students will also make several visits to
Key West, and will study some of the writings of Key West authors (see page 12). All
students will participate in these activities and i n certain classes i n addition to completing the specific requirements of the course for which credit will be given. It is intended
that relationships will become apparent between the biology of the Florida Keys and the
writing which has emerged from this interesting environment.
A fee of approximately $1,200 will be charged for transportation (including airfare),
lodging, most meals and the services (field trips, lab facilities, classes, etc.) of the
Newfound Harbor Marine Institute.
Marine Biology of The Florida Keys
BIO 140-41048; 340-41049
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
The Florida Keys provide an excellent site for the study of marine organisms
and marine ecology. Most of approximately two weeks in Florida will be spent at
the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute located on Big Pine Key. The institute offers
laboratory facilities and field trips in addition to housing and a dining hall. Field
trips will pennit the study of diverse habitats such as those of coral reefs, shallow
bays, mangrove swamps, seagrass communities and tide pools. Organisms from
these communities and others will be investigated onsite and in the laboratory. A
marine biologist from the institute will be available to lead field trip and conduct
specialized classes. Upon termination of the program at the institute there will be a
short trip to the Everglades to experience yet another interesting environment.
Preparation for the excursion to the keys will be made during the week prior to
the trip. This will include an introduction to marine biology utilizing a variety ol
audiovisual materials. The final week will be devoted primarily to study and the
completion of course requirements.
The course will have an interdisciplinary component. Biology students will
interact with students from John Mitchell's Key West Writers course. Further
information concerning this component will be found listed under The Florida
Keys in the Interdisciplinary section of this catalog.
Evaluation will be based on overall participation in the program, a journal
based on daily experiences, and one or two exams. Upper division students will
also do a special research project which will be the basis of a paper.
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor. For upper division credit, Biology 111

Instructm Douglas Gram
Questions of ethnicity, class, language, gender, and sexuality pervade recent
drama in English. These issues are revitalizing both contemporary drama and
productions of classic texts. We will examine how dramatic works of the late '70s
and the '80s, written in English, have been shaped by and have addressed issues
ranging from racial tension and interaction to sexual preference. (We sometimes
survey cumnt drama on several such topics, like class, gender, and language in
1989, and sometimes concentrate solely on plays about one issue, like sexual orientation in 1990.) For comparativepurposes, we will also view a few films on related
topics and try to attend at least two productions in the Twin Cities. There will be
moderate fees for the local productions.
Students will keep a journal, write two in-class essays, and one short paper.
(Theremay also be occasional quizzes.) A series of group projects, which include a
long paper and some performance, will conclude the course.

The capstone of the Augsburg First Year Experience (FYE)Program is a special
interdisciplinary Interim course with places reserved for first year students. For the 1991
Interim there will be a single course with three sections, each taught by a difierent faculty
member. The course will provide fill credit and will satisfy the Fine Arts distribution
requirement. A few students who are not freshmen will be permitted in the course.
Art and Idea: The Baroque in Europe
INS 191-41011
Instructors: Julie Bolton, Merilee Klemp, Kristin Anderson
How do we see? How do we listen? How do we respond to theater? What is
the nature of art? How m ideas conveyed in art forms? What do the visual arts,
music, and theater have in common? How do they reflect the society in which they
were created? Is art timebound or timeless? All art forms are linked to a particular
time and place. We see that the visual arts, music and theater always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of its time. Using examples of music, art and
theater created in Europe in the Baroque period, the course will explore how to
appreciate and understand the various art forms, e e e the relationships among
the arts, and consider the expression of enduring themes and ideas at different
points in time.
Students will participate in the course through various readings, including
reading plays, studying scores and listening to recordings, and reading primary
source material connected to the art pieces considered. Using the resources of the
College and the city, students will also attend a special performance of the Augsburg
Faculty Artist Series, visit art collections, including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts,
and attend music performances, including the Minnesota Orchestra or the St. Paul
Chamber Orchestra. Students will be expected to attend all required performances
and museum visits, write analyses of the art works or performances, and write a
paper integrating the different arts and time periods studied. There will also be
quizzes.
Costs for tickets to performances should not be more than $15.
Distribution: Fine Arts
Time: I The class will normally meet during Time I, but students will be expected to
attend a limited number of off-campus events (someevenings andlor weekends)as a part

The Paideia Approach: Thinking and Talking
About What You Read
I N S 120-41055
Instructors: Marie McNeff, Vicki Olson
Students will participate in a series of seminars, following the Paideia
seminar format as developed by Mortimer Adler and Paideia Associates.
Students will read selected readings, which will then be discussed in Paideia
seminars. One seminar will use Charlie Chaplan's "Modern Times" for viewing
and then seminar. Open to students with an interest in learning through and
about the Paidcia Program.
Students will read selected readings and view selected films for seminar
discussions, develop and/or hone habits of mature, intellectual talk; observe
seminars conducted in Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools; study the
Paideia Proposal; design their own rules and norms for effective seminars;
evaluate their own behaviors during seminars; lead seminars.
Methods of evaluation will include interviews with students and observations of students participating in seminars. Reflective writing will be a part of
the evaluation methodology. The evaluation of the course will be based, in part,
on seminar participation: "The good seminar participant (1) is neither too
impulsive nor overly hesitant in responding, (2) checks periodically on the
purpose and direction of the talk, (3) allows people to be heard, (4) is an active
listener, (5)spreads out the discussion, (6) is considerate, (7)criticizes a point
thoughtfully, (8)makes room for productive silence, (9)is well prepared." (From
"%minar Strategies": portion of essay by Grant Wiggins, Coalition of Essential
Schools, Brown University.)

Social Change: The Ultimatum of
Community Development in India
I N S 241-41053
Instructor: Vincent Peters
Life in the global community of today's world demands an understanding of
many issues from perspectives not easily achieved without intimate study from a
viewpoint far different than one's own. This course seeks to challenge many
common assumptions regarding the differences between "rich" and "poor,"
"East!' and 'West," while examining the process of social change in the context
of an emerging nation.
South India provides a rich experience of lives in transition, as reformation
sweeps through the culture on every level, bringing socio-economic develop
ment, political empowerment, and redefinition of social and gender roles.
Students immerse themselves in the culture of South India through dialogue,
homestays, and cultural events, and as a result will find their own world view
greatly challenged and enhanced.
We will spend time in Madras, the smaller city of Vellore and villages near
it, in Bangalore and finish with four days in New Delhi which will coincide with
the colorful celebration of Republic Day.
There will be some assigned readings. Evaluation will be based on participation in discussion and field activities, maintenance of a journal and two tests.
The comprehensive fee of $2,695 includes air and surface transportation,
accommodations (half in hotels and half with families), breakfast daily and two
group dinners in addition to the twelve dinners with families.
Registration for this Interim must be made before October 26 at the Office of
International Programs.

p u p , such as Galidan, Catalan, P r o v d , l

coursewillbe concerned why theselanguagesare so similar and why they&.
Basidy, the similarities stem from the fad that theselanguagesall have the same
source, the poplar Latin speech (oftenmked to as Vulgar Latin) which was spokenby
ordinary people - traders and rmrchants, soldiersand sailors, ruraland &an settlers of all
kinds - within the Roman Empire at its greatest extent. They differin part because
differences in dialect traditionally tend to grow with the passage of time and, very
importantly, these languages have all experienced the influences of various other
languages - such as Arabic in the case of Spanish, Celtic and German for French,
Slavic for Romanian, etc.
'Ihe length of thecoursewill not permit going into great detail regall these
changes,but the mapr developmentswill be emmined mthlly, particularly in thetheof

through an eight-track mixer.
2. Individually creating, modifymg and mixing sounds from traditional sound
sources as well as from analog and computercontrolled synthesizers.
The study and application of practical electronic technology used in the production of music today will be combined with aesthetic considerations necessary for the
creative aspects of the art.
Much of the work in this course will be done in small groups. Lower division
students will work with up to four channel-four track recording involving techniques of speed changing, splicing, reversing tape direction and filtering using
primarily traditional and non-traditionalsound sources. Upper division students
will also use electronicallysynthesized sound sources including computer controlled
keyboard, overdubbing and overlaying up to seven tracks.

There are many puzzling issues in our lives and world which deserve some
clear and careful thought. What shall we think and say about such contemporary issues as "Freedom of the Will"; "Can Computers Think?"; and 'What are
the Grounds of Moral Responsibility?". In this course we will discuss these and
other concerns that confront our age, in an attempt to understand them more
clearly.
Discussions will be based upon readings from a wide selection of authors,
some traditional (such as John Locke, Rene Descartes, and William James); and
some very much in the forefront of contemporary discussion (such as Ayn Rand,
B.F. Skinner, Sidney Hook, and John Hospers). Their views are provocative, to
say the least, and they will challenge you to ask, again and again, 'Well, Now.
What Do You Think of That?".

Introduction to Weather
PHY 106-41020
Instructor: Noel Petit
A study of the science of meteorology which will provide a working knowledge of the principles of atmospheric science. Attention will be given to four
basic areas observing the weather changes and understanding the world's
climate. Related topics to be included are: hydrology (study of the earth's water
cycle), pollution, economic effects of the weather, and weathefs impact on world
events. This course is designed to be an elective or satisfy the MathematicsPhysics distribution requirement for the liberal arts student.
The course will have two weeks of class lecture and laboratory followed by a
two-week trip through the Southeast United States visiting major weather
facilities. The itinerary will include stops at Kansas City, Missouri; Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma; Vicksburg and Gulfport, Mississippi; Tampa, Miami, Cocoa
Beach, Daytona Beach and Gainesville, Florida. At each site there will be a tour
and explanatory program for the functions of that facility. Topics of the visits
will be severe storms, control of the water in the Mississippi River basin, automated weather observation at sea, television station weather facilities, hurricane
tracking, weather satellites, and agricultural weather.
During the trip the student will maintain a journal of weather and site visits.
Daily weather maps will be created using portable weather satellite reception
systems carried on the trip. This trip will not only allow visits of operational
weather facilities, but also will allow the student to experience the full range of
climates across the U.S. from north to south.
Daily quizzes and lectures will be given during the travel. Grades will be
based upon the journal, two hourly examinations and an individual project
completed during the trip. The cost will be approximately $700. Initial deposit
due by October 26.

years. However, it is also possible to use spread sheets to solve physics problems
without using "high-powered" mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the student
who is not an expert in mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive
level. We will use Lotus 123 to solve problems in a wide variety of physics areas
including planetary and projectile motion. Some of the problems investigated
might be in areas other than physics. Grading will be based on spreadsheet
projects, homework, and a final exam.

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4-14 calendar, with Fall and
Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-weekJanuary Interim. Interim is particularly intended to
be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of
teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics
in places and ways not possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and
preparing for classas they would for a fourcourse load during
Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one
course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/
No Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the
P/N system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a
more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an A u g s b q student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses. The
number of r e q w Interim courses is adjusted for transfer
students. Transfer students should referto their transfer credit
evaluation form, or consult the registrar.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the
basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital
status, sex or handicap as required by Title D( of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973,as amended, in its admissions policies, educational
programs, activities and employment practices.

This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the very
popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a
traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science
background. Basic science and math are introduced early and
are taught as needed for understanding various topics and
implications.The course does assume the student is interested
in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry tolifeand
living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for
centuries. The early scientists were considered to be philosophers and their societies were philosophical societies.In recent
decades the human seeking of personal independencehas led
to chemistry becoming a part of everyday life to the point of
adual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, pills, plastics, processed foods, pollutants, and it goes on
and on. Emotional and mental disorders can often be traced to
chemical imbalance and wen learning appearsto be the result
of chemicalreaction to form a "memory molecule". Most of the
problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but
chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves, our
society,our world, and our universe? Come, pin us as we take
a molecular look at the human condition.
This course will be o f f d in a lecture/discussion format.
Article handouts and films will supplement the ledure/discussion periods. Daily quizzeswillbe used for evaluation. This

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
u
l
w background. For
and economical standing and our c
this reason we should expect women to speakdifferentlyfrom
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 communities.
This course will examine the dialects of various Englishspealang communities and attempt to describe and understand their rules of speech: Their grammatical rules, phone
logical rules, and their rules of discourse. It will include
ledures, student presentations, and student-led discussions.
Besides presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the
presentation topic and take a final exam.

What is fiction? What is good fiction? What elements of fiction
should be considered in making an evaluation?In this course,
students will find answers to these questions by mding a
variety of fictional works and by writing their own fiction.
Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of
the history of the form of the short story, we will begin with
tales and fables and we will read a sufficient number of classics
for the student to appreciate the historical development from
Poe to Beattie. The come will involve practice in ways of
approachingliteratureandwill include studyof thebasic critical
terminology, so it would be an appropriate course for students
who have not yet studied literature at the college level.
Studentsare acpected to read the storiesand novel, participate
in class discussions, write an analysis paper on a selected short
story, write an original short story, and take several quizzes
and a final exam.
Students taking this course for upper division credit will read
an additional novel and prepare a substantial paperlclass

This course o k r s a study in the literary use of setting, in this
case an environment that will be studied aesthetically, ecologically, and culturally in concurrence with the reading of selected essays, poetry, and fiction. The study of the environment itself will involve an interdisciplinary program based at
the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute on Big Pine Key about
30 miles from Key West. The main text will be The I(ey West
Reader: The Best of the Key West Wrifers,1830-1990. In addition,
students will read three novels: Ernest Herningwafs To Hime
and ToHaw Not,Thomas McCuane's Ninety-Two in the Shade, and
Thomas Sanchez's Mile Zero, which will give a historical and
diversely cultural overview of the Keys'literary significance.
The interdisciplinary component of this course will be coordinated with two other courses:''Drawing" or 'Tainting" taught
by Phil Thompson and "Marine Biology" taught by Ralph
Sulerud. Field trips during the two-week stay will involve
excursions into the culturally and racially diverse Art Deco
District of Miami Beach; snorkeling in the coral reefs; trips to
the ,'back country" of the mangrove islands; visits to the
Hemingway house and other places of literary interest; and a
brief tour of the Everglades. A stimulating interplay of environment, culture, and literature will result; the student will be
an informed presence rather than a mere tourist.
There will be one week of introductory study on campus,
about two weeks of study in southern Florida, and about a
week to complete the course requirements back on campus.
Studentswill be expeded to keep a journal of observations and
impressions,to compose a verbal and visual sketch of a chosen
writef s house, and to write a final paper of about 10 pages in
length, based upon analysis and comparison of seleded writers' uses of environment as literary setting, especially in view
of what has been learned first-hand.
A fee of approximately$1,200 will be charged for transportation (including airfare), lodging, most meals, and the services
(field trips, lab facilities, classes, etc.) of the Newfound Harbor
Marine Institute.

love with someone, and how this differs from just being
friends, liking that person, and desiring that person sexually.
In the remainder of the course, we will consider the following
ethical issues concerning sex: (a) Sex and morality -Is there
such a thing as an ethics for sex?Is there such a thing as sexual
irnmox.ality? (b) Ssc and maniage -Is the use of birth control
moral? Is promiscuity bad? What strengths and weaknesses
does the institution of monogamy have? Is adultery immoral?
(c) The morality of alternative sexual preferences and lifestyles - Is sexual perversion a viable concept? Are homosexuality and lesbianism sexual perversion? Or are they merely
alternative sexual preferences?
