historical sketch
Augsburg was begun as a seminary in
1869, at Marshall, Wisconsin. It was the
first theological school founded by
Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through
an arrangement with a private institution
known as Marshall Academy, the
Seminary was at first housed in the
academy building. Students who needed
further preparation in academic subjects
were to obtain this in the academy. In the
autumn of 1872 Augsburg Seminary was
removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where
a building had been erected for its use. In
the same year the school was incor~orated
under theVlawsof Minnesota. Its Gm was
to train ministers for the Lutheran
congregations which were being organized
in growing numbers in the pioneer
settlements that were spreading rapidly
over the Northwest.
The College was established when it
became evident that in order to get
students who were adequately prepared for
theological study a college department was
needed. In 1874 a curriculum was planned
which provided for one year of preparatory
studies and four years of college work
along two lines, a classical course to
prepare students for theology, and a
scientific course to prepare for other
professions. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first class was
graduated in 1879.
In 1900 a high school course covering
three years was established which in 1910
was expanded t o a standard four-year
course. This was discontinued in 1933. In
the years 1916-1919 the college course was
thoroughly revised. As a result of this
and of subsequent growth, the earlier
classical course was greatly modified and
supplemented by social and scientific
studies and a more general emphasis upon
the study of the humanities. In recent years
there has been continuous study and
modification of the curriculum including
G E NERAL
INFORMATIOR
the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the
developing needs of the students. The divisional organization
was adopted in 1945. At the present time 26 majors are
offered.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1922.
In February, 1963, with the merger of the Lutheran Free
Church into The American Lutheran Church, Augsburg College
became affiliated with the latter church body. At the close
of its ninety-third academic year, in the spring of 1963,
Augsburg Theological Seminary merged with Luther
Theological Seminary, St. Paul, one of the seminaries of the
merged church.
Seven presidents have served Augsburg during the course
of its history:

aims and objectives
IJ Augsburg College is a Christian liberal arts college of The
American Lutheran Church. The faculty and the Board of
Regents of the college affirm the following as their understanding of the aims, philosophy, objectives and character
of this institution.
Ultimate Aims
To contribute t o the true good of human life and society.
To contribute to the building of free and living congregations in the community of the Christian Church.
Basic Philosophy
The Christian message concerning the redemptive act d
God in Christ constitutes the greatest potential for good in
human life and society; but this potential is realized only
insofar as it is actualized in the minds and hearts of individuals.
The redemption of the mind constitutes the unique educational task laid upon the Christian Church; in seeking t o
relate all learning to the truth of the Christian faith, the
Christian college performs its greatest service both to the
Church and to society.
Where there is an atmosphere of free and honest inquiry, truth
has the overwhelming advantage; the Christian college, therefore, pursues its purposes not by indoctrination or coercion,
but by inviting teachers and students to join in a common
search for truth and in a common attempt to see all truth
in relation to ultimate Truth.
Primary Objectives
To attract to the college students of high ability and genuine
religious concern who can reap the maximum benefit from a
program of Christian higher education.
To provide a campus setting that is conducive to the spiritual,
mental, moral and physical well-being of its students.
To stimulate its students' intellectual interest, and to assist
them to develop the habits and skills necessary for sound
academic work.
To acquaint its students with the spiritual, cultural and intellectual riches of mankind, both for the sake of the enrichment
of their own lives and, through them, for the enrichment of
their homes and communities.
To lead its students to a deeper understanding and experience
of the Christian Gospel in its relation to every area of life
and learning.
To aid its students in discovering and clarifying their peculiar
aptitudes and interests, and to provide training and counsel
that will assist them in preparing for a life work appropriate
thereto.
F
To aid its students in the development of Christian attitudes
and Christian qualities of character; and to encourage each
student to look upon his life as a Christian vocation, and an
opportunity for service to God and man.
Distinctive Character
Augsburg College is a Christian community of life and learning.
As a Christian academic community, Augsburg seeks that
high level of excellence which is appropriate to such a community.
Augsburg treasures its religious and cultural heritage as an
institution founded by Lutheran immigrants from Norway who
sought to play a creative role in American life and society,
and seeks to preserve the enduring values of this heritage in
the life of the college community today.
the alumni association
The Augsburg Alumni Association has as its goal to enable
graduates and former students to maintain effective contact
and cooperation with one another and with their Alma Mater.
The annual meeting is held a t Commencement time each year.
Local Augsburg clubs are promoted. The affairs of the Association are under the leadership of the Board of Directors.
The Alumni Office is located in the Art Building on Riverside
Avenue.
the physical plant
Instructional facilities and student housing at Augsburg
are conveniently located in relation to each other.
Old Main, erected in 1900, contains a large number of
classrooms and offices.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, includes the general administration offices; well-equipped laboratories for chemistry,
physics, biology and home economics; the bookstore; a
medium-sized auditorium; and several classrooms and faculty
offices. A Tower Prayer Chapel is located on the fourth floor.
The Lisa Odland Observatory, on the roof of Science Hall, was
completed in the summer of 1960.
The George Sverdrup Library, named in honor of Augsburg's
fourth president, was erected and dedicated in 1955. Adjacent
to Science Hall and of similar contemporary architectural design, it contains spacious reading rooms, seminars, work rooms,
a visual-education center, the Augsburg Archives, classrooms,
and a number of faculty offices. There is stack space for approximately 100,000 volumes.
Si Melby Hall, the new auditorium-gymnasium, was completed
in 1961. This building, named in honor of Professor J. S. Melby,
dean of men from 1920 to 1942, basketball coach and head of
the Christianity department, provides excellent facilities for
the health and physical education program, intercollegiate
athletics, chapel services and general auditorium purposes.
The Music Hall was acquired by purchase in 1947 and has been
remodeled to serve the needs of the music department.
The Speech and Drama Building was acquired in 1959 and remodeled to make an extremely functional building for dramatic
and other speech activities.
The Art Building was acquired in 1963 and remodeled to
provide excellent space for the art program. It has one large
classroom and studio and laboratory facilities for drawing,
painting, and sculpture in the rooms on the ground and first
floor. The second floor of the building houses the Development
Offices.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memoriol Hall
Gerda Mortensen Hall
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a dormitory affording living quarters for about 130 men. On the ground
floor of this building is the college cafeteria and dining hall.
Gerda Mortensen Hall, erected in 1955, provides housing for
about 175 women students, as well as apartments for the
resident head and her assistant. The dormitory incorporates
the former Sivertsen Hall, remodeled as a wing of the larger
dormitory.
Miriam, Edda, Epsilon, Kappa, Omega, Sigma, Iota, Lambda,
Omicron, Zeta, and Theta are small dormitory houses, each
accommodating from 8 to 20 women students.
The President's Home, an attractive colonial residence, is
located on the West River Road.
A large number of dwellings have also been acquired in recent
years in the expanded campus area, and are in use for faculty,
staff, men students, and married student housing.
the archives
The Augsburg Archives seeks to gather and make available
for use documents, books, and other articles of historical value.
The George Sverdrup Library provides adequate, fire-prod
quarters for the archives. Here are found a large collection of
periodicals, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, affording
extensive resources for scholarly research.
library facilities
The beautiful and spacious George Sverdrup Library
provides a central study-workshop for both faculty and
students. It contains about 50,000 volumes, exclusive of
pamphlets, and is adding approximately 5000 new volumes
each year. Students and faculty working in either of the two
large reading rooms find the atmosphere conducive to quiet
study and research materials close at hand. All books are
kept on open shelves. Reference service, provided by an able
and well-trained staff, is available to students.
Special collections have been developed in the Music Library,
the Chemistry Library, the Curriculum and Library Science
Libraries, and in the Audio-Visual Center. Additional
conveniences include conference rooms for larger groups or
small classes. A typing corner is provided in the first floor
reading room.
The library subscribes to about 410 of the best periodicals
dealing with a large variety of subjects, as well as a number
of serials devoted to the interests of special fields. Current
issues are displayed in a pleasant browsing area.
The library plays an active role in promoting general reading,
presenting regular book displays, and sponsoring monthly
book discussions for faculty, staff, and students.
In the Twin City area are other libraries which make their
holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St. Paul
and Minneapolis publi,c libraries, the latter of which issues
library cards to out-of-town students for each school year.
natural science laboratories
The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the
Science Hall. Three laboratories and storeroom and office
space for Biology are located on the second floor; three larger
laboratories and two special research laboratories for
Chemistry and two laboratories for Physics are located on the
third and fourth floors. A chemistry library is located near
the research facilities. Storerooms and faculty offices are also
located here.
P.' I
A considerable part of the income on
which Augsburg operates is derived from
endowment and from gifts. Therefore, the
fees charged the student do not constitute
the whole cost of his education, for he
enjoys the benefits of the gifts of those
who believe in and support the work of
the school.
guaranteed tuition plan
In order to assist students and parents
in planning ahead for tuition payments,
which are the major item of college
expense, Augsburg College offers a
Guaranteed Tuition Plan that fixes the
tuition cost for four years of college.
Freshmen enrolling in the fall of 1964,
who sign up for the plan, will have
their tuition cost guaranteed for eight
consecutive semesters a t a total cost of
$3,825 (average cost is $956.25 per year)
as follows:
The larger charges in the first two years
build up a reserve available for the last
two years. If the student on this plan
voluntarily withdraws, he loses his reserve.
If he is asked to withdraw, his reserve
will be refunded.
Those who do not elect t o sign up for the
Guaranteed Tuition Plan will be enrolled
in the fall of 1964 a t a tuition charge of
$450 per semester and at whatever level
the fee is set in subsequent years.

loan funds
18
Several loan funds have been established to assist students
in working out their financial problems. Loans may be
arranged a t a reasonable rate of interest for various periods
of time.
The General Student Loan Fund, established through the gifts
of many individual donors, is chiefly maintained by contributions from the Augsburg College Women's Club.
The Olaf Rogne Fund, established in 1954, extends assistance
t o students preparing for theological study.
The Charles and Nora Crouch Student Loan Fund, established
in 1954, extends assistance t o members of all classes.
The Senior Loan Fund, established by the class of 1955, is
available t o selected graduating seniors.
The John and Anna Jorgine Gregory Theological Student Loan
Fund is available to students who are preparing for the
ministry.
The Student Aid Fund of the Zion Lutheran Hour, established
by the Zion Lutheran Church of Minot, North Dakota, likewise extends loans to students preparing for the ministry.
National Defense Student Loans, established by the National
Defense Education Act of 1958, are available t o students
capable of maintaining good standing in their chosen course of
study. Special consideration is given to those students who
express a desire to teach in elementary or secondary schools
and t o those whose academic background indicates a superior
capacity for preparation in science, mathematics, engineering
or modern foreign languages.
United Student Aid Funds is a program of endorsing loans
made by local banks to college students requiring financial
assistance. A grant to the College by the Gamble and Skogmo
Foundations provided the funds t o establish the initial
reserves required.
Arrangements for the loans are made through a conference
with the Dean of Students, chairman of a faculty committee
on student loans. In addition to arranging loans, the committee
counsels students on financial matters with the objective in
mind of helping the student work out a satisfactory plan for
his finances.
scholarships and prizes
Fifty Freshman Scholarships of varying amounts are available to outstanding high school graduates. Some of these

Many students find it possible to pay part of their college
expenses with money earned in this way. The types of work
available are of various kinds, including recreational leadership,
restaurant work, domestic service, sales work, and secretarial
and clerical work. The college is concerned that employment
not interfere with a student's academic work. Therefore, it is
desirable that Freshmen have sufficient funds to pay their entire
expenses for at least one semester. Part-time employment may
then be secured in accordance with the need of the student
and his ability to handle extra work.
Students are employed by the college in several areas. For
these positions preference is given to upper-class students who
have maintained a good scholastic average.
Assistance in obtaining summer employment is also provided
each spring by the Employment Service. Application for parttime or summer employment may be made in the Personnel
Office.

'
I.
The influences which mould life and
character on a college campus are of many
kinds. While the exercises of classroom,
laboratory, and library form the organizing
basis of college activity, they need to be
supplemented by other than academic
forces. These intangible but very real supplementary influences have much to do
with creating the spirit of an institution.
At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed
upon the maintenance of a wholesome
spirit of Christian community living.
Students are urged to give conscious
attention to this personal and spiritual side
of their development and thus contribute
toward the prevalence of a vital and happy
Christian atmosphere on the campus.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct
t - g the instituthe policies of A t ~ g . ~ h ~ lthat
tion may conslnntly I:e permeated by ail
atmosphere in which the qiresl for Truth
as it is in Christ is prayeiqfully rostercd
in each life.
All students are required to complete fourteen credit hours in courses offered in
Religion. 'l'liei~e are 1iurnerous voluntary
religious activities in which students are
encouraged to participate. Faith and Life
Week is helrl ~ w i c e each ycar. It is
assumed that every Augsburg student will
find a church home in Minneapolis and
attend its services regularly.
It is expected of each student that his life,
conduct, and influence, both on and off
campus, shall be worthy of a member of
a Christian College. Those who do not feel
drawn to this quality of life and to the
fellowship in which it is nourished should
not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A
truly Christian spirit and environment
must be the product of the united effort
and prayer of faculty, students, and
administration.
The Chapel Service
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the daily Chapel Service,
CAMPUS LIFE
where the faculty and students gather for united worship,
prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular
attendance is expected of all students.
recreation standards and discipline
Introduction
At Augsburg all the work of the college rests on certain
Biblical affirmations about human nature and man's relation
to God. The college regards the Christian life as the truly significant life. This life implies an intimate relation to the person
of Christ. In the content of this primary relationship, the
Christian also lives in a relationship to people, to events, to
things. The fact that God not only created the world but
became Man gives evidence that life in this world is not to
be despised.
The Christian liberal arts college takes seriously these relationships and therefore seeks to educate the whole man. It
follows that one of its important responsibilities is to establish
recreational programs and policies that contribute to this end.
It should be clear, however, that in an age which is much
concerned with the pursuit of pleasure, a college like Augsburg
should never subordinate its academic program to leisuretime activities. On the contrary, the recreational program must
be in the context of, and be congruent with, the major intellectual quests of the college; and both must have as their goal
to help the individual to live an effectual Christian life in the
world.
The Program
In settirig up a recreational and social program, Augsburg is
conscious of its position as a coeducational Christian college
of liberal arts. The program takes into account the relationship between sexes and seeks to provide normal and healthy
opportunities for the expression of the mutual attraction of
the sexes. Augsburg offers a varied and selective recreational
and social program which gives preference to those activities
which are emancipatory rather than restrictive, those which
enrich community life rather than those which are divisive or
encourage selfish satisfactions.
The college provides a variety of activities designed to meet
these requirements. The social program includes a number of
organized all-school events combined with many lessstructured activities designed for specified smaller groups. In
attempting to meet the needs and interests of all Augsburg
students, we make use of all existing facilities on campus and
many of those which are available in the Twin City area.
In seeking to develop a constructive recreational program,
some limitations have been placed upon certain other activities.
The college is opposed to all forms of gambling. It forbids the
possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in dormitories, in any college-approved place of residence, or a t any
college-sponsored event. Any student found under the influence of liquor is subject to disciplinary action. Social, or
ballroom dancing, is not a part of the recreational program of
the college. Students are encouraged to be discriminating in
all types of recreation in which they engage, that their time
may be well spent, and strong moral and ethical values may
be developed. Such common activities as television viewing
and movie-going, for example, can easily become time-wasting
and even detrimental to the development of moral and ethical
values.
Without attempting to dictate to the individual conscience,
the college regards it as its right to ask its students to adapt
themselves to the social program approved by the college and
to follow it as members of the college community. Although
the college lays down specific rules regarding most matters
only with respect to activities centering on the campus, it
reserves the right to dismiss any student whose continuation
in college is deemed undesirable for social as well as for academic reasons. It is the policy of the college that such action
shall not be taken capriciously, but only after the available
campus resources of counseling and judicial processes have
been utilized. Thus, disciplinary problems are first dealt with
through counseling. Those not solved in this way are channeled to a faculty-student Judicial Council through the Office
of the Dean of Students. In all such cases, careful investigation
and the privilege of a hearing precede any disciplinary action.
religious program
The Religious Life Commission, composed of students and
faculty, endeavors to promote a religious program that will
stimulate growth of Christian life in the Augsburg community.
Chairman of this council is the student Commissioner of
Religious Activities. Areas for which this committee carries
primary responsibility are the Mid-Week services, Faith and
Life Weeks, prayer meetings, and informal group meetings and
discussions.
This Commission also serves as a coordinating agency for all
voluntary Christian organizations on campus. The principal
organization is the Student Christian Association. The SCA
seeks to serve as a stimulus and outlet for Christian faith
and life. Students participate in regional and national Lutheran Student Association of America Conferences, and conduct a
schedule of meetings on campus.
The Mission Society, the service organization of SCA promotes
interest in missions through a program of study, fellowship,
worship, and service. A highlight of the year is the Mission
Festival, a conference devoted to the study of missionary activity and recruitment of workers.
convocation
Regular convocations are held each Thursday throughout
the year. These programs acquaint the campus community
with outstanding personalities in various fields. A wide range
of interests is covered, including the scientific, political, social,
religious, and artistic.
social and recreational activities
Students at Augsburg are given many opportunities for
social training and recreation. The Student Council through the
Commissioner of Social Activities, assisted by a Programming
Commission, sponsors a wide variety of activities each month
and an all-school activity which all students may attend. Most
of these are informal. The Sophomore and Junior classes
sponsor semi-formal banquets. The Associated Women
Students and a number of other organizations sponsor teas,
dinners, and social affairs on and off campus.
Music and the Fine Arts
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique
opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational
and cultural advantages which the Northwest has to offer.
Excellent art collections are to be found in the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Center. The Twin City
libraries are extensive in their services. The Historical Museum
in St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs and
other concerts afford rich opportunity for the enjoyment of
music.
Many students and faculty attend Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra concerts by virtue of a special college season ticket
arrangement. Season tickets are available also for other University concerts and for drama productions a t the University
and Tyrone Guthrie Theaters.
A monthly bulletin, Augsburg Plus, listing programs, concerts,
a r t displays and exhibitions is compiled and issued from the
Student Personnel Office.
student government
The Student Society consists of all full-time and part-time
students enrolled a t Augsburg College.
The central concern of student government is focused on education to the end that individuals may develop their full
capabilities through intellectual growth. The student government relates to this broad objective by assuming responsibilities for furthering student affairs, educating members to the
democratic process, developing a sense of community, fostering intellectual activity, and participating in policy making.
The administration, under the direction of the president,
resides in the executive branch. The Executive Council consists
of six commissioners-each responsible to the president for
one of the major areas of student life. Eight boards also assist
him in his work.
The Student Council, presided over by the vice-president, is
the twenty member legislative branch of the government.
Each of the college classes has its own officers and participates
in student government through its representatives on the council.
The Judicial Council is a student-faculty judiciary, whose
rulings are subject to appeal only to the President of the
College.
The Student-Faculty Council, composed of students, administration and faculty, discusses campus problems, considers
legislation adopted by one group or the other which affects
the college as a whole, and promotes cooperation and understanding between the students, the faculty, and the administration.
The Student Society is a member of the National Student Association, the largest representative national union of students
in the United States. Through this organization the students.
receive programming aids for use on the campus, and add
their voice to the voice of all American students before the
national government and other organizations in matters of
student concern.
The Student Goyernment directs several projects of interest to
the college community. These projects include the annual OneAppeal Campaign, Leadership Training Workshops, Political
Action Week, Homecoming, Student Lecture Series, Academic
Freedom Week, College Union Study, and Development Council. Counseling of Freshmen by upper-class students is conducted through a College Brother-College Sister Program as a

Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is represented annually by teams
in football, basketball, hockey, wrestling, baseball, track,
tennis, and golf.
Purpose and Philosophy of Intercollegiate Athletics
It is the purpose of Augsburg College to provide an
intercollegiate athletic program which is in harmony with its
Christian philosophy. This philosophy is to be reflected in the
conduct and outlook of both the players and the spectators.
The educational program of the college recognizes that
recreation and play are a fundamental part of human life, and
that this phase of life needs to be cultivated if physical, mental,
and emotional health are to be maintained. Intercollegiate
athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the
fact that competitive play can contribute to the development
of student interests, skills, insights, and loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1) The
student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit,
both in and out of athletics, such basic qualities of character
as self-discipline, honesty, sense of fair play, and cooperation.
(2) The participant should develop the knowledge, interests,
and skills which will be of special use to him in such vocations
as teaching and coaching or recreational leadership, or in his
own recreational activities. Far from being set apart from his
educational goal or in any way competing with it, the student's
participation in intercollegiate athletics must either contribute
directly to this goal or be complementary to his other educational activities. (3) The student spectator should acquire and
exhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such
as self-restraint, sense of fair play, appreciation of high-grade
performance on the part of both opponents and fellow-students,
and respect for individual personality. (4) The intercollegiate
athletic program should contribute to the development
of a unified and healthy "school spirit." Enthusiasm for intercollegiate athletics or other co-curricular activities should not
overshadow pride in high scholastic achievement, nor can it
take the place of a well-rounded and effective intramural and
general recreational program.
eligibility requirements
In order to participate in certain extracurricular and
cocurricular activities, students must meet established
eligibility requirements.
Eligibility for participation in intercollegiate athletics is
governed by the rules of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference.
A student on academic probation is not eligible to be a candidate for any elected or appointed campus office including
Student Council, Commissions, class and organization offices,
nor is he eligible for cheerleading or student publication participation. This list is not inclusive and other activities may
be designated. The Chairman of the Election Board is responsible for checking the eligibility of all candidates for Student
Society and class offices with the Assistant Registrar. Organizations should submit names of candidates for office to the
Coordinator of Student Activities for approval.
A student on academic probation may not participate in the
Augsburg Choir or the Augsburg Band or in a major role in
a dramatic production without special permission from the
Committee on Admissions and Student Standing.

Omicron Chapter of Lambda Iota Tau, a national honor society,
is open to English majors who have attained a high scholastic
average and have presented a paper on a literary topic before

The purposes of the Timia Society, the Augsburg honor society,
are to recognize academic achievement and to promote
scholarship. Juniors and Seniors who have earned a 2.5 honor
point ratio accumulative are eligible for membership, while
Freshmen and Sophomores with a 2.25 honor point ratio may
be admitted as pledges. Applications for membership are made
a t the Registrar's Office a t the beginning of the semester in
which the student is eligible.
Augsburg has a Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, the National Social
Science Honor Society, which is affiliated with the Association
of College Honor Societies. A high level of scholarship in the
social sciences is required for election to membership.
The Augsburg Guild of Honor is an organization to recognize
and honor those members of the senior graduating class who
have shown themselves to be individuals excelling to an outstanding degree in scholarship, leadership, and participation
in extra-curricular activities.
The Dean's List includes students who have achieved an honor
point ratio of 2.5 or better in the previous semester of work
at Augsburg College.
The 1925 Class Cup in Athletics is awarded to the athlete who
has made outstanding records both in athletics and in scholarship.
The Harold A. Johnson Trophy, presented by Gerald L. Johnson in 1943, is awarded annually to the student who is judged
to be the most valuable player on the basketball team.
The Class of 1918 Oratorical Cup was presented to the college
as a prize to arouse interest in oratory. The name of the winner of the annual contest is engraved upon the cup, which is

student personnel services
Institutional services to students are organized and
administered in accordance with plans and policies established
by the Student Personnel Committee. Included are such services as Admissions, Counseling, Testing, Freshman Orientation,
Student Records, The Student Health Service, Housing and
Food Service, Placement, Student Employment, and Coordination of Student Activities. The administration of these services is centered in the Office of the Dean of Students.
Admissions
Pre-college counseling, educational and vocational, is available
from qualified personnel in the Office of Admissions.
Counseling can be obtained either on campus or in schools and
homes as the counselors travel throughout the Upper Midwest.
Prospective students are encouraged to visit the campus if a t
all possible. Other information concerning admission and
entrance requirements can be found in another section of the
catalog.
Counseling
Counseling services are maintained in an effort to assist each
student to obtain the maximum benefits from the learning
experiences offered a t Augsburg College. Matters such as
uncertainty over vocational choice or educational planning,
religious uncertainty, health, financial problems, personal and
social adjustment and personal deficiencies can interfere with
the learning process and are dealt with in counseling sessions.
It is hoped that through counseling, students will develop more
realistic conceptions of themselves and the surrounding world,
and keener awareness of resources available to them as they
meet the problems of daily life.
At Augsburg the counseling process is carried on a t several
levels. All faculty members participate in the counseling
program, and each new student is assigned to a faculty
counselor who works with him until he chooses a major field
of study. At that time, the major adviser becomes his
counselor. In addition, there are faculty members who have
specialized training in counseling and techniques for dealing
with problems of adjustment. The Dean of Students and the
Dean of Women are special counselors to the men and women,
respectively. The counseling program is coordinated by the
Office of the Dean of Students in accordance with the plans
and policies established by the Student Personnel Committee.
Students who have personal problems are encouraged to seek
help through counseling conferences. If a serious problem
develops which demands professional skill and more time than
the professor has to spend in counseling, the student is
referred to the Office of the Dean of Students or Dean of
Women. A further referral may be made to the College
Chaplain, in the case of spiritual problems, or to the College
Physician, in the case of underlying emotional problems. The
College Physician works with the Personnel Deans in the
latter case.
Testing
All new students are given a battery of tests during Freshman
Days. College aptitude scores, English, and reading ability
scores are used by counselors to help students plan their
initial programs. Personal adjustment scores and the vocational
interest test profile help the students learn to know more about
themselves, in order to make the best choice of subjects and
occupational goals. The Sequential Tests of Educational Progress (STEP) are given to all sophomores. Seniors take the
graduate record examinations.
Freshman Orientation
Freshmen and other new students participate in Freshman
Days before the beginning of classes each semester. The
students take tests, attend classes, inspect the college
facilities, and become acquainted with their fellow students,
with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty
counselors. The faculty counselors and students have several
conferences during which they plan the student's program
of study.
A special course in improvement of reading is offered for
interested students. Freshmen who expect difficulty with the
increased quantity and complexity of the reading material encountered in college are especially urged to enroll in this
course.
Records
Individual student records are kept in the Records Office under
the supervision of the Registrar. These records include admission data, academic achievement, student participation and
achievement in non-academic activities, test scores, reports
of counseling and other information.
The Student Personnel Office maintains a file of student government officers, of clubs and societies, including the constitutions, activities, schedules, and membership rosters.
The Student Health Service
The Student Health Service provides dispensary service with
two registered nurses on duty. The college physician has daily
office hours for consultation and for emergency treatment.
Infirmary rooms are provided. The Health Service is located
in Fairview Hospital, adjacent to the campus.
Physical examinations are given to all seniors. Before registering, each entering student is required to have on file the
report of a physical examination given by his family physician.
Corrective treatment is prescribed where needed.
Students, faculty, and staff have chest X-rays taken annually
through the cooperation of the Hennepin County Tuberculosis
Association Mobile Unit.
Housing and Food Service
In its residence program, the college aims to develop in the
students Christian character, self-control, and thoughtful consideration of others. At the same time, the college realizes
that students' happiness, comfort, and emotional adjustment
in the residence halls are direct influences on their general
efficiency in the classroom.
In an effort to provide these opportunities for development
while maintaining optimal living conditions, active student
residence councils assume the responsibilities for the administration of dormitory life policies in consultation with the
Director of Residences for Women, the Head Residents, and
Personnel Deans.
Upper-class students serve as counselors in the residences and
attempt to help residents with problems of personal adjustment. The Head Residents and Personnel Deans serve as
resource people for these counselors and handle cases referred
to them.
All women students and freshman men students not living a t
home are required to live in college-operated housing. Students
desiring to reside in the city with relatives must first secure
approval for such an arrangement from the Student Personnel
Office. All students living in the residences and most students
in off-campus housing take their meals in the college dining
room. The college also provides two houses for women with a
cooperative house plan.
Residence halls are open to students a day before regular
schedules become effective, and they close a day after the
term closes. Students who wish to stay in residence during
vacations must apply for the privilege. Rooms are furnished
except for bed linen, towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence. Bed linens and towels
may be rented with laundering service a t a reasonable cost.
This service is required of all women students in Gerda
Mortensen Hall. An optional linen service is available to other
students.
Students engage a room at the beginning of the fall semester
for the entire school year. Room reservations with deposit
of $25 are required of all single students. This deposit is
applied to the first semester's room rent. Rooms for new
students are assigned in the late summer according to the date
of application. Present students must make room application
prior to May 15 and submit the room deposit by July 15. After
May 15, reservations for present students are assigned on the
same basis as for new students. Students who find it necessary
to cancel their room reservation will receive full refund of the
deposit if the cancellation is received by August 1.
All men living in Memorial Hall are required to pay a $15
breakage fee a t the beginning of each school year. At the end
of the year the fee is refunded if the condition of the room and
the furniture is satisfactory.
Graduate Placement
The Placement Bureau assists seniors and alumni in securing
positions. Continuous contact is maintained with business,
governmental, welfare, and educational institutions and
organizations at the local as well as the state and national
levels. Jntervicws are arranged both on and off the campus. A
registration fee and a small placement fee are charged.
Student Employment
An employment service, located in the Student Personnel
Office, assists students in obtaining part-time remunerative
work during the school year, Christmas vacation, and summer.
Coordination of Student Activities
The Coordinator of Student Activities assists student officers
to maintain effective functioning of student activities, and
keeps on file the club constitutions, rosters, and schedules of
meetings. Faculty advisers to student organizations are
approved by the Coordinator.
The program of student activities is a primary responsibility
of the Executive Council and the Student Council which is the
legislative body of the Augsburg Student Society.
Liaison between the Student Society and Faculty and Administration is the function of the Student-Faculty Committee.
A weekly bulletin of events is prepared for the Echo by the
Student Personnel Office. The college Master Calendar is kept
by the Coordinator of Student Activities assisted by the chairman of the Commission on Student Organizations.

registration
Students who have been accepted for
admission should register on the days
designated in the Calendar for this
purpose. Those who register late are
charged a late registration fee of $1 per
day after classes begin. The last date on
which a student may register for or enter
a course is two weeks after the beginning
of classes.
Registration means that the student
accepts all the rules and regulations
established by the school.
No credit will be given a student for any
subject for which-he has not registered.
The college reserves the right to cancel
any course for which there is not sufficient
registration.
The normal registration is 16 credit hours.
A credit hour is defined as one recitation
period a week throughout a semester. The
privilege of registering for more than 18
credit hours is granted to students who
have gained an average record of B, or
two honor points per credit, in their previous college studies. Exceptions to this
rule may be made under certain conditions
determined by the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing. No student is
permitted to carry work for more than 20
credits per semester. Students working
part-time are urged to arrange the amount
of their registration accordingly.
change of registration

he makes application. Approval of the
teachers concerned, the student's adviser,
and the Registrar must be obtained before
a change is permitted. A fee of $1.00 is

after the first week of classes. No course may be added after
the first two weeks of classes.
A course which is cancelled during the first six weeks of
classes is followed by W. After the first six weeks and before
the last four weeks of the semester a course which is cancelled
is given a grade of WP if the student is passing and WF if he
is failing the course. No course may be cancelled during the
last four weeks of the semester.
A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the
end of a semester must cancel his registration at the Registrar's
Office in order to remain in good standing.
university courses
By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students
may register for courses at the University. But such registrations will not be allowed unless the student has a C average
in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of
credits in any semester must not exceed 17. The credits thus
gained at the University may be transferred to Augsburg
College and counted towards graduation.
classification
In order to be classified in one of the regular college classes,
a student must be carrying a minimum of twelve hours of
work in which college credit is given. Classification is based
on the attainment of the following number of credit hours
together with an equal number of honor points: Sophomore, 24;
Junior, 58; Senior, 92. Students are classified by this regulation at the time of their registration each school year.
Students registered for less than 12 credits are classified as
special students.
pro bation and elimination
The Committee on Admissions and Student Standing at the
end of each semester, considers the status of students who
have done unsatisfactory work. Freshmen who obtain honor
point ratios of .5 or below, Sophomores .6 or below, Juniors
and Seniors .8 or below, as well as students with 6 or more
credits of F, at the end of a semester, are placed on probation.
They are removed from probation when they obtain better than
C average for a semester. A student is not allowed to remain
in college on probation for more than two semesters consecutively, except by special permission. He is dropped for low
scholarship if he fails to maintain a satisfactory scholastic
record.
F
class attendance
Regular class attendance is required of all students in Lower
Division Courses. Attendance in Upper Division Courses is
voluntary for Juniors and Seniors unless required by the teacher of the class.
In classes for which attendance is required, a record of
attendance is kept and periodic reports on absences are
submitted to the Registrar.
Students who find it necessary to be absent because of illness
or for other reasons should present to their teachers a written
report of the reason for absence. A student will receive a grade
of F if the number of absences for which he has not presented
acceptable excuses is excessive as defined by the instructor of
that class.
Absences for tours, field trips and other instructor-arranged
activities are cleared with the Dean of the College. Lists of
participants, with information as to exact periods absent, are
issued by the Dean to all instructors involved.
Teachers deal with tardiness as they see fit. Students arriving
in class late must assume responsibility for reporting their
presence to the teacher.
examinations
Tests are given periodically throughout the semester. In the
course of each semester, reports of the grades attained are
made to the Registrar who forwards them to the counselors
and students. Final reports are sent at the close of each
semester to the parents and students.
Written examinations are regularly scheduled at the close of
each semester. No student or class may arrange to take a final
examination in any course before the examination week.
Absence from a final examination without a sufficient reason
will result in a grade of failure in the course concerned. A
student who has to be absent from a final examination because
of a conflict with outside work from which he cannot obtain an
excuse, may arrange to take such an examination during some
period after the time on which the subject is scheduled.
If a student has obtained permission from the Dean of the
College to take a final examination a t another hour than that
scheduled, he is charged a fee of $5 for such an examination.
Before the student takes the examination, he must obtain a
statement from the Registrar's office and bring it to the teacher
concerned.
comprehensive examinations
Comprehensive examinations may be permitted in courses
in which the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing
believes the student has adequate preparation or background.
Students who wish to take a comprehensive examination must
apply in writing to this committee. When permission is
granted, the necessary approval forms may be secured at the
office of the Registrar. A fee of $5.00 ($10.00 for students not
currently enrolled) is charged for each credit hour and must be
paid in advance. Examination questions and the answers will
be filed in the Registrar's office.

Major in Sociology in Preparation for Social Work
A rapid expansion of the field of social work during the past
twenty years .has created an acute need for trained social
workers. Positions are available in public agencies on federal,
state, county, and municipal levels; in private agencies sponsored by churches or other community organizations; in group
work, case work, or community organization.
In response to this need, Augsburg College has developed a
curriculum designed to do two things: (a) equip graduates
for immedate employment in social work positions that do
not require post-graduate training, and (b) prepare students
for further study in graduate schools of social work.
Augsburg College is an active member of the Minnesota Conference on Social Work Education and the National Council
on Social Work Education. During recent years graduates of
Augsburg have secured positions in both public and private
welfare, in probation work, child welfare, group work and
case work.
The following courses are recommended for students interested in Social Work. The courses which are italicized should
be taken by all such students.
In consultation with the department head, students may obtain a sociology major without the social-work sequence.

High School Teaching
Each state sets certain requirements for obtaining a teacher's
certificate. The course outlined below satisfies the requirements
for a certificate for teaching in Minnesota a t the junior and
senior high school level. The same prgram will meet the demands set by most of the neighboring states. The student
should apply to the Department of Education for admission
t o the Education curriculum during his sophomore year. Admission will be determined by a committee on the basis of
scholarship and other qualifications. Except with special majors such as music, home economics, combined natural science,
and business education, students should usually prepare
for competency in at least two subject-matter fields in which
high schools offer work. Areas in which they may obtain
teaching majors or minors include English, German, Spanish,
French, speech, music, art, history, social science, business
education, home economics, biology, physics, chemistry,
natural science, mathematics and physical education. 'Minors
are also offered in Scandinavian language and literature,
political science and library science.

Home Economics
Work in the Department of Home Economics is intended to
equip students for the teaching of home economics in high
school, to prepare them $forhomemaking, and to give them the
first two years of the training required for such vocations as
dietetics, institution management, home economics and journalism, and home economics in business. Each student who
plans for a vocation in this field should consult members of
the home economics staff about the details of the program
when she begins her college work.
A curriculum for a home economics education major is given
below. A graduate who completes this curriculum qualifies
for certification by the Minnesota State Board for Vocational
Education to teach in federally-aided secondary school home
economics departments (Smith-Hughes) . Courses in italics
are not required for a general home economics major.

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.

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

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
Letters of reference must be requested
in writing and explicitly indicate
what information may be reported in
the letter.

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.

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

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

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.

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*
The study and use of a variety of teaching techniques and
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
Journey
ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process
ML 520 Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth
ML 530 Ethics in Communication
ML 531 The Dynamics of Change
ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership

your previous academic work will be completed as part of
the admissions process.
ML 550 Communication, Decision Making, and Technology
ML 560 Developing a Multicultural Perspective
Advising and Registration: You are able to participate in
ML 565 Women and Leadership
academic advising and the registration process after you

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

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.

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.

Period I
Period II

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.

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,

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
courses in the Transformational Leadership and Management Track, and two elective courses make up the course
work for the program.

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.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
NUR 500 Transcultural Health Care
This course explores meanings and expressions of health,
illness, caring, and healing transculturally. Focus is on
understanding and developing professional competence in
caring for individuals, families, groups, and communities
with diverse cultural backgrounds. Culture is examined as a
pervasive, determining "blueprint" for thought and action
throughout the human health experience. Patterns of
human interaction that foster health and quality of life are
analyzed, and health destroying patterns of interaction, e.g.,
stereotyping, discrimination, and marginalization, are examined and submitted to moral and ethical reflection. (36
hours of practice experience)
NUR 501 Transcultural Care Systems
In this course, organizations are viewed as cultural systems
that are complex and adaptive, where continuous change
and unpredictability rule the development and course of
evolution. The importance of relationships, the role of selforganization, the processes of emergence and co-evolution
are explored via readings and discussions. Attendance at a
local, national, and/or international nursing leadership conference is mandatory. Dialogue and networking with a variety of nursing leaders to understand the context of
transcultural healthcare organizations are expected.
NUR 503 Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life
Cycle
The major curriculum concepts of individuals, health, nursing, and society are developed further in this course as the
function of individuals living in families and in communities
is explored. Content about systems, communication, small
group, and nursing theories is applied to family constellation.
The influence of the multigenerational family is examined in
terms of culture, belief system, roles, healthcare patterns, values, and goals. Specific concepts related to values and culture
are expanded and applied to the more complex social structures of traditional and nontraditional families as they interact in and with society. (36 hours of practice experience)
NUR 505 Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing
Practice
This course focuses on nursing science and nursing theory
as foundational to advanced transcultural nursing practice.
Philosophical underpinnings of different theoretical and
research traditions in nursing are compared and related to
the provision of culturally competent care in diverse communities. Nursing science is emphasized as a process of theory advancement and as an accumulating body of nursing
knowledge. (36 hours of practice experience)
NUR 510 Advanced Community Health Nursing I
This course focuses on persons, families and groups living
in relationship. Emphasis is on applying the core functions
of community/public health - assessment, policy development and assurance. Principles of epidemiology, population
demographics, and culture care are integrated into community-focused healthcare delivery models. Power structures
within dominant social systems are analyzed and critiqued
with regard to resource access and distribution among
underserved populations. (36 hours of practice experience)
NUR 511 Advanced Community Health Nursing II
Emphasis is on the application of public/community health
theory and research in providing health care to populations
and communities. Essential public health services are
assessed for adequacy in meeting community health needs
and addressing transcultural health goals. The impact of
diversity, privilege, resource limits, and globalization add
depth and reality to local and global community health concerns, patterns of health, suffering, and healthcare provisioning. Prerequisite: NUR 510. (72 hours of practice
experience)
NUR 515 Managing Nursing Effectiveness within Care
Systems
In planning and implementing nursing activities, healthcare
organizations are considered subcultures of society, which
entail particular issues of access and utilization for marginalized people. Strategies for negotiating structures of privilege
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)
NUR 520 Research Methods in Nursing
Through a combination of literature review, field experience, and class discussion, research methods relevant to the
exploration of culture and health will be examined. Class
topics will include formulating study questions to explore
collective foundations of meaning and explanation in health
and illness, practice in data collection procedures of field
research, and issues of interpretation and analysis in qualitative research. Prerequisite: a college-level statistics course.
(36 hours of practice experience)
NUR 521 Transformational Nursing Leadership
This course emphasizes transformational nursing leadership
and management in partnership with diverse groups. Transcultural competence is lifted up as significant to the evolving leadership and planning skills needed in emerging care
systems. Opportunities for students to engage in designing
relevant models of care delivery are woven into clinical
practica. (72 hours of practice experience)
NUR 523 Theory, Research, and Practice Seminar
The conceptualization, investigation, and application of
nursing knowledge will be critiqued with particular focus
on its contribution to developing practice in transcultural
community health care. Through reflection and dialogue,
which includes professional experience of practice contexts,
as well as theoretical and research literature, students will
formulate a transcultural nursing model of care. (36 hours
of practice experience)
NUR 525 Graduate Field Project
This course focuses on the application and integration of
knowledge to a student-selected issue or topic of concern
relevant to transcultural nursing, community health nursing, and/or transformational nursing leadership. Working
with a nursing faculty adviser, students design and/or implement and evaluate a theory-based model of advanced practice nursing. Relevant coursework is integrated into the
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
This course will introduce students to complementary healing practices including the historical and cultural contexts
in which they developed. Students will discuss the philosophical underpinnings of therapeutic systems and paradigms of healing in selected complementary therapies:
music therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, mind-body
healing, spiritual and faith practices, energy healing practices , movement therapies, homeopathy, manual therapies,
and nutrition and nutritional supplements.
NUR 535 Integrative Master's Thesis
The integrative thesis expands upon or extends the theoretical foundations in the literature of Transcultural Nursing in
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)
NUR 562 Walking the Truth: Culture, Gender, and
HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa
This broad-based interdisciplinary course explores the influence of culture and gender on the HIV/AIDS pandemic in
sub-Saharan Africa. The natural history, biology, and epidemiology of AIDS in Africa, as well as socio-cultural, ethical, theological, and political responses to the disease are
examined. Women's collective and individual efforts to preserve the health of their families and communities are highlighted as hopeful and positive responses to the HIV/AIDS
crisis in sub-Saharan Africa.
NUR 599 Topics
Study of selected topics that are not treated extensively
through current course offerings. Specific topics will be
published prior to registration.
BUS 520 Management of the Healthcare Organization

and behavioral concepts which underlie effective management practices in healthcare organizations. It addresses both
the theory and practice of effective management. The course
will emphasize the importance of addressing the expectations, needs, and performances of people in organizations,
and recognizes the role of the internal, external, and global
cultures that impact organizational structure, behavior, and
change.
ECO 520 Economics of Health Care in a Global
Community
At the end of the class, students will be better able to apply
economic concepts to the health systems of both the United
States and other parts of the world. The focus will be on the
public policy aspects of the healthcare system, e.g. , issues of
access and cost.

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.

You have chosen an exciting way to serve others. The social work profession offers you the rewarding prospect
of joining with others to respond to problems and develop opportunities that benefit individuals, families,
groups, and communities. The MSW degree prepares you for advanced professional practice in the field of
social work.
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.

Director, Master of Social Work
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

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
www.naswfoundation.org) .
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
(see www.naswfoundation.org).
American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work
Several awards ($1,000 each) offered to students who
demonstrate excellence in preparation for clinical social
work practice. Applications due in March (see
www.abecsw.org).
MSSA Diversity Educational Scholarship
One $500 award offered to students from African-American,
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 .)
Augsburg Scholarships
Augsburg's Social Work Department offers several scholarships each year. These are available to second-year students
only. They range in amount from $300 to $3,000.
Phyllis M. Baker Memorial Scholarship
Edwina L. Hertzberg Scholarship
Arvida Norum Memorial Scholarship
Steen Family Scholarship Fund for Minority Social Work
Students
Edwin Yattaw Memorial Scholarship
Bodo F. Suemning Memorial Scholarship
Blanca Rosa Egas Memorial Scholarship
AmeriCorps Tuition Discount
Augsburg offers a tuition discount to students who are or
have been AmeriCorps volunteers-25% off the tuition cost
of one course per trimester. This would apply to all
trimesters of your MSW program.
Military Discount (see page 11.)
Other Resources
There is a general guide on Augsburg's webpage that gives
advice to "seniors" about finding funding for graduate
school-go to www.augsburg.edu/gradstudy.
ACCREDITATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS
Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning
Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges
and Schools.
The Augsburg Master of Social Work program is accredited
by the Council on Social Work Education ( CSWE).
For a complete list of Augsburg's accreditations, approvals,
and memberships, see page 3.
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

In t h i s course we will examine some of the evidence for the
often-expressed feeling t h a t music and mathematics a r e somehow
related. Actually there are three kinds of contact: (1) a t the
sub-musical l e v e l , where both elementary and sophisticated
AUGSBURG COLLEGE 1981 INTERIM121
mathematics have a lot to say about such foundational topics as
acoustics, scales, and tuning, as well as the premises of twelvetone composition; (2) at the level of composition, where mathematics
no longer applies directly (except for certain composers) but
where there are strong analogies between the ways composers and
mathematicians create and evaluate their work and between features
of certain highly structured pieces, such as canons, and mathematical
constructs; (3) at the level of aesthetic theory, where probabilistic
ideas help to clarifjt what constitutes style. The emphasis on
these topics will depend on class interests, provided only that
everyone does some significant mathematics. When possible, we will
try to hear those things we discuss mathematically, through recordings
or performance. Grades will be based on homework exercises, mostly
mathematical but including the composition of at least one canon. The
necessary the ma tics will be developed in class.

An exploration of math-related ideas and Space-Age research which
calls for a critical re-evaluation of present "scientific dogmas"
on the nature and origin of the universal cosmos and the smaller
cosmic models of earth, life, and mankind. New Space-Age data,
buried in the literature, will be unveiled to show inadequacies
and contradictions in some aspects of modern astro-cosmology and
its links to geology, biology, and the humanities.
Class instruction and individual research will include study of the
historical and modern impact of math-related cosmic models, and will
note some misuses of mathematics which transforn'unsupported
scientific speculation into "scientific fact." A written research
paper is required.
Upper division students will show broader research scope and writing

This course will explore both the problems and the potential of
communication between persons of different cultural groups. We will
examine several factors which contribute t o comunication barriers
between cultures such a s ethnocentrism, stereotyping, prejudice, role
expectations, values, and non-verbal symbols. The format of the
course will include simulations, group exercises, one-to-one and small
group interaction, and other intercultural experiences a s well as
readings, lectures, and written assignments. I t i s hoped t h a t there
will be students from several cultural groups in the c l a s s , so t h a t
the class i t s e l f will be a laboratory for practicing comunication
between cultures.

Augsburg College lnterim
The interim i s an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It 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 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.

11 - 1:00 - 5:00 p.m.
The number and length of class meetings as well as the beginning time will be arranged the first
day of class.
'Students enrolling in half-credit coursesshould consult the Registrar'sOfficefor datesforcancel/add
and to determine the grading system.
Essential Information
One course is considered a full time load during interim and nostudent is permitted to register
for more than one course credit during the period.
There i s no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course.
Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0.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 i s 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.)

these
courses are available in the lnterim Office, Memorial 230.
Options
june lnterim - A t least one interim course will be offered in the June1982session of summer
school (see listing under Education) in lieu of January term with n o additional tuition charge.
Students planning to elect the june interim must register at the time of interim registration in
the fall. Students wishing t o take the June interim i n addition t o the January one will be
required t o pay the regular summer course tuition.
lnternational Interims-Students are invited to consider being part of one of the five overseas
interims offered by Augsburg College during January 1982. These interims are under these
departments:
English - Theatre i n London
Religion - Israel, Ancient and M o d e r n
- The Confrontation of Cultures and Religions i n Hawaii
Social Work - Social Service and Public Policies i n a Developing Country: Egypt, 1982
Health and Physical Education - Sailing i n the Virgin Islands
Other international interims are available through Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE) and St, Olaf College.
Further academic description, travel details and cost estimates are available i n the lnterim
Office and from Mary Kingsley i n the lnternational Center, Memorial 229.
Students interested in participating in one of these international interims should apply i n the
International Center before November 1. Additions to the overseas groups usually cannot be
made after October.
Internships-Internshipsareopen tostudents whocontinue an internship from the fall term or
who begin an internship which will continue into the spring term. Students electing an
internship interim are to present a completed internship learning contract to the Internship
Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 17.
Independent o r Directed Study - Students may elect a program of independent study (upper
division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for interim. Faculty members are strongly
discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed study
per interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must:
A. Meet departmental requirements,
B. Present to the lnterim Director 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 not later than November 2. Appropriate study proposal forms can be
obtained in the lnterim Office.
Interimsat Other Schools- Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4institution which
offers a reciprocal interim arrangement. Catalogs of these interims can be consulted in the
lnterim Office. The lnterim Secretary will help students i n applying for registration at other
schools. Registration for interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be done at Augsburg
during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the interim at other 4-1-4
schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting
Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affectscourses offered for
the Religion requirement.
Non-Augsburg Students
Augsburg Collegewelcomesstudentsfrom other4-1-4schoolsfor theJanuary interim without
tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not t o charge tuition to
Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees,
housing o r board costs. Other students will be,charged $600 for the interim course.
Students interested i n registering for an Augsburg Interim should w r i t e t o the lnterim Director
for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own school. These
students are welcome to stay o n campus but are not required t o d o so. Requests for interim
housing should be made t o the lnterim Office.
Augsburg Policy
Augsburg College admits studentsof any race,color, nationalandethnicorigin toall the rights,
privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the
school. It does not discriminateon the basisof race, color, creed, national and ethnicorigin i n
employment practices or administration of its educational policies, admissions policies,
scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Augsburg College lnterim
The interim i s an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It 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 course equals a full time load, students should plan t o spend the same
amount of time i n class and preparing for class as they w o u l d for a four course load during
Fall and Spring semesters.

Essential Information
One course i s considered a full time load during interim and no student i s permitted to
register for more than one course credit during the period.
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 scale of 4.0 to 0. 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 i s 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.)
This Catalog
This catalog lists courses by departments with departments 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 lnterim Office, Memorial 230. Students may register for one of the Lifetime
Sports listed on the last page.

Options
June Interim - At least two interim courses will be offered in the June 1983 session of
summer school (see listings under Biology and Education) in lieu of January term, with no
additional tuition charge. Students planning to elect a 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 the regular summer course tuition.
International Interims-Students are invited to consider being part of one of the six overseas
interims offered by Augsburg College during January 1983. These interims are under the
following departments:
Art - Europe: Art in London and Paris
Foreign Language - Mexico: Basic Conversational Spanish
- Europe: The Rhine Frontier
History - Hawaii: Laboratory of Multi-Ethnic Interaction
Music - Europe: Music in London and Paris
Political Science - Mexico: Theories of Social Change and Revolution
Other international interims are available through Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE) and St. Olaf College.
Further academic description, travel details and cost estimates are available in the Interim
Office and from Mary Kingsley in the International Center, Old Main 20.
Students interested in participating in one of these international interims should apply in the
International Center before November 1. Additions to the overseas groups usually cannot be
made after that date.
Internships - Students electing an internship interim must present a completed internship
learning contract to the Internship Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November
16. Contract forms are available in the same office.
Independent or Directed Study - Students may elect a program of independent study
(upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for interim. Faculty members are
strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or
directed study per interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must:
A. Meet departmental requirements,
B. Present to the lnterim Director 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 not later than November 2. 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 lnterim Office. The lnterim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at
other schools. Registration for interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be done at
Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the interim at
other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted
as meeting Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects
courses offered for the Religion requirement.
Non-Augsburg 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 $670 for the interim course.
Students interested in registering for an Augsburg lnterim should write to the lnterim
Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own
school. These 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.
Augsburg Policy
Augsburg College admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the
rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at
the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national and ethnic
origin in employment practices or administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Heredity, Evolution, and Humankind
BIO 110 - 4010
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
Where did I come from? What am I ?Where am I going? certainly must rank among the more
fundamental questions which intrigue and torment members of our species. While at one
level we seek philosophical and religious answers, biology is invoked at another level. It i s the
intent of this course to address these questions and others through the study of evolution and
heredity (genetics). The concept of organic evolution continues to have its critics, a matter
which we shall consider. Yet to the vast majority of biologists the evolution of life i s not only
accepted but is regarded as the single most significant contribution which biology has made
to human knowledge. We will study the evidence in support of evolution, the proposed
mechanisms of the evolutionary process, and, as time permits, the course of evolution from
primitive forms to humans. Some principles of genetics will be studied for the primary
purpose of making it possible to understand evolutionary mechanisms. Ways in which people
influence their own evolution and that of other species will be discussed.
Classes will consist largely of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based on quizzes and
tests.

People Under Pressure
ENG 211 - 4027
Instructor: Barbara Andersen
The child, the youth, the middle-aged, the old, all live under pressure-political, social,

often have positive results. And many people respond to pressure with courage, grace and
even wit.
We will read several genres, mostly of the 20th century, and works that are not usually
covered in literature courses. Among the works being considered are Waters, The Man Who
Killed the Deer; Potok, M y Name i s Asher Lev; Brautigan, Trout Fishing i n America; Wright,

The Rhine Frontier:
Germany Meets Rome and France
GER 333 - 4032
Instructor: Donald Steinmetz
I
Since Roman times, the lands along the Rhine have been one of the most significant frontier
areas of Europe. Here German and Roman cultures clashed and mixed. Here modern
Germany and France have their roots i n the empire of Charlemagne. Here romanesque and
gothic architecture flourished in the Middle Ages. Here Germans and French fought in three
recent wars. It is such events which have shaped life and left so many monuments between
the Rhine and the Meuse. The student will study and "relive" the history of this area on
location, from the Roman monuments of Trier and Cologne, Charlemagne's Aachen, to the
battlefields of World Wars I and II and the dynamic society of present-day Germany. The
course will be conducted primarily in Trier, Germany, with excursions to nearby sites. Trier i s
ideal for this purpose. Perhaps the oldest city in Germany, Trier is rich in monuments dating
from Roman times to the present, and important historical sites of five countries are less than
100 miles away. Lectures, discussions, and readings will be principally in German according to
the student's entering level of competence.
Cost: $1690
Prerequisites: German 112 or equivalent

Paris in the Nineteenth Century
HIS 114 - 4037
Instructor: Orloue Gisselquist
The French are sometimes accused of thinking of Paris as the "navel of the universe." There's
a bit of "sour grapes" caricature in that clever statement. For if one could pick out a city
which in the last thousand years has been more important to Western Civilization than any
other, one could make a good case for Paris. In this course we will study the history of that
city i n one period of its greatness, the nineteenth century. We will use some readings about
France, Paris, and Modern urbanism, but the main emphasis in our reading and approach to
the subject will be the use of some nineteenth century French novels as historical sources
for the study of Paris. We will thus have the opportunity to study the city of Paris in this
century i n some fullness, read some great literature, and develop our talents in the use of
historical material. As a bonus we will double (maybe quadruple!) our enjoyment of a future
trip to Paris. The course will be conducted in part as a lecture course and in part as a seminar
(discussion of readings, short papers, and shared reports-all part of the evaluation). There
will be a final exam.

Perspectives on the Humanities: The City in
American History, Literature and the Arts, 1865-1914
INS 275 - 4042
Instructor: Grier Nicholl
Rapid industrialization and the growth of cities between the Civil War and World War I
generated significant responses from American writers of fiction and poetry, painters,
photographers and architects.
How did the interpretations of major writers and artists compare to actual historical
developments of the city and technology in the period? What similarities and differences can
be discovered in the ideas, values, and attitudes reflected in literary and artistic responses to
industrialization? The course will examine these and other interdisciplinary questions to lead
the student toward an integrative perspective on the humanities.
Activities in the course will include active participation by urban and art historians; small
group discussions of selected poems of Walt Whitman, selected short stories of Stephen
Crane, and two controversial novels-Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie and Upton Sinclair's
The jungle; lecture and slide presentations on painting and architecture; and visits to the

Theology of Play, Games and Sport
REL 328 - 4064
Instructor: John Benson
There is nothing more familiar to us than play, games and sports. We are all involved with one
or more of them almost daily. Yet, there is usually little understanding of the human
significance of these commonplaces of experience. Philosophers of culture like Weiss and
Huizinga, however, together with sociologists like Caillois and psychologists like Bern have
helped us to see some of the deeper meanings of these things we usually take for granted. At
the same time, theologians concerned with cultural questions such as this have added their
contributions. Rahner, Miller, Pieper and Novak have helped us to see that religion itself has
a "play" structure.
I n the lectures, all of the above thinkers will be dealt with. And in the small groups two books,
one by Caillois, and the other by Novak, will be read and carefully discussed. Several special
preparations will be required as well, related to special discussions. An example of such a
special discussion i s the problem of the relation between the game proper and the
"intimidation game" that goes on within it at the same time. Such a problem can be shown to
have far reaching implications into many other areas of life as well as games.

The Human Potential Movement and Identity:
A Sociological Analysis
SOC 394 - 4089
Instructor: Jerry Gerasimo
This will be a sociological and social-psychological analysis of that loosely connected
grouping of persons and movements which lays emphasis on identity, self-expression, selfawareness and growth. "Alternate life-styles" and "expanding consciousness" have become
increasingly central terms for the media and large parts of the American population. After a
brief history of the movement and its major figures (Freud, Rogers, and Maslow) we will
consider the Human Potential Movement's relation to other social movements and to the
dominant culture. There is a possibility of field work. Evaluation will be based on an
examination and a paper.
There will be a fee of about $5.00 to cover additional instructional materials.
Prerequisites: PSY 105 or SOC 121 or SOC 241

Augs,burgCollege lnterim
The interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It 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 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.

Essential Information
One course is considered a full time load during interim and no student is permitted to
register for more than one course credit during the period.
There i s no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course.
Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0. 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 i s 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.)
This Catalog
This catalog lists courses by departments with departments 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 lnterim Office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the
Lifetime Sports listed on the last page.

Chemistry for Changing Times
C H M 100 - 4009
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the very popular book by John H. 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 the various topics and implications. The course does assume the student is
interested in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry to life and living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for centuries. The early scientists
were considered to be philosophers and their societies were philosophical societies. In
recent decades the human seeking of personal independence has led to chemistry becoming
a part of everyday life to the point of actual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of
pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, "the pill," food additives and processed foods, vitamin
supplements, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching
for life on other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and on. Emotions and mental
disorders can often be traced to chemical imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy
feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The nature of a hangover is
the result of a complex system of altered body chemistry. Even learning appears to be the
result of chemical reaction to form a "memory molecule." Most of the problems we face are
molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves, our
society, our world, and our universe? Come join us as we take a molecular look at the human
condition. This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format. Films will supplement
the lecture/discussion periods. Quizzes and tests will be used for evaluation. This course
does not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106,116 or 223.

Emily Dickinson: The Poems and the Person
ENG 140 - 4018, 340 - 4019
Instructor: Ronald Palosaari
Unknown in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson now is regarded as one of America's finest poets.
Her poetry was so unknown that the sister who shared with her the family home did not
know of it until, following Emily's deathbed instructions, she began to burn Emily's papers.
What was spared the fire is now ours to devour.
Emily Dickinson spent most of her life within the family home confining her relationships to a
very few, being regarded as mysterious or eccentric by very many. Some biographers have
suggested she retreated from the world to give herself to poetry since her time and place
made no provision for a female professional poet. Others trace her seclusion to various family
relationships or personal problems or frustrated dreams of love. Whatever the cause, out of
the mystery of her life comes the glory of her poetry.
During the interim we will study both her poetry and some of the major studies of her life.
Each student will read one of her biographies as well as her poetry. Students who desire may
pursue independent research in her biography or her poetry or in general historical topics
that mav illumine either the Doems or the Derson.
Studenk opting for upper d i i s i o n credit will be graded on a more rigorous level than those
opting for lower division credit.

often have positive results. And many people respond to pressure with courage, grace and
even wit.
We will read several genres, mostly of the 20th century, and works that are not usually
covered in literature courses. Among the works being considered are Waters, The Man Who
Killed the Deer; Potok, M y Name is Asher Lev; Brautigan, Trout Fishing i n America; Wright,
Native Son; Pym, Excellent Women; Hassler, Simon's Night; Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea;
Turgenev, Fathers and Sons; Albee, The American Dream and The Zoo Story; Anderson, I

The Japanese-AmericanExperience:
Relocation & Redress
HIS 240 - 4030,340 - 4031
Instructor: Khin Khin Jensen
This course is a study of the Japanese-American experience, primarily in the United States,
but will include mini units of their relocation experience in Canada and some Latin American
countries. Special focus will be given to the forced evacuation of several hundred JapaneseAmericans during World War II, how and why they were uprooted from homes and
businesses at short notice. How did this ethnic group adjust to detention in camps, survive
the trauma of their wartime experience, e.g. psychological impact on young and old? The
redress issue, the report of the recent judicial commission appointed by Congress to
investigate the relocation, will be an important component of the course, e.g. constitutional
issues related to the rights of scores of American citizens. Perspectives of immigrant
restrictions, and the contribution of the Japanese to American economy and society will be
examined.
Japanese-Americans from the Twin Cities, films, slides, recordings and readings will be used
as resources. Ethnic meals. Some evening meetings will replace day sessions.

Paris in the Nineteenth Century
-
HIS 114 4032
Instructor: Orloue Gisselquist
The French are sometimes accused of thinking of Paris as the "navel of the universe." There's
a bit of "sour grapes" caricature i n that clever statement. For if one could pick out a city
which i n the last thousand years has been more important to Western Civilization than any
other, one could make a good case for Paris. I n this course we will study the history of that
city in one period of its greatness, the nineteenth century. We will use some readings about
France, Paris, and Modern urbanism, but the main emphasis in our reading and approach to
the subject will be the use of some nineteenth century French novels as historical sources
for the study of Paris. We will thus have the opportunity to study the city of Paris in this
century in some fullness, read some great literature, and develop our talents i n the use of
historical material. As a bonus we will double (maybe quadruple!) our enjoyment of a future
trip to Paris. The course will be conducted i n part as a lecture course and in part as a seminar
(discussion of readings, short papers, and shared reports-all part of the evaluation). There
will be a final exam.

Augsburg College lnterim
The interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It 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 course equals a full time load, students should plan to spend the same
amount of time in class and preparing for class as thcy would for a four course load during
Fall and Spring semesters.

AUGSBURG COLLEGE (USPS #490-310) is published four times a year in Spring, Summer,
Fall, and Winter by Augsburg College, 731 21st Avenue South, Minneapolis, M N 55454.
Second-class postage paid at Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Essential Information
One course is considered a full time load during interim and no student is permitted to
register for more than one course credit during the period.
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 scale of 4.0 to 0. 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.)
This Catalog
This catalog lists courses by departments with departments 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 lnterim office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the
Lifetime Sports listed on the last page.

The Biology of Aging
B I O 185-4504
Instructor: Robert Herforth
At some time or another in our lives most of us will either directly experience aging or be
influenced by people undergoing age-related changes. This course will concentrate on the
biological aspects of such changes. What is the nature of these age-related changes?What
factors influence the rate of aging? Do cells isolated from the body show aging? Is aging
the result of deterioration of certain cells or tissues of the body? What are the current
theories as to the biological basis of aging? Is aging controlled by a biological clock?These
and other questions will be addressed in this course by means of classroom lectures and
discussions of assigned readings. Evaluation will be based on several quizzes and exams
given during the course.

Chemistr for Changing Times
CHM 100 - 4 08
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This is a non-laboratorychemistry course based on the very popular book by John H. 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 the various topics and implications. The course does assume the student is
interested in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry to life and living.
Chemistry has been intlmately a part of liberal education for centuries. The early scientlsts
were coilsidered to be philosophers and their societies were phitosaphical societies. In
recent decades [he human seeking of p e ~ a n a independence
l
lias led lo chemistry becornlng a pntt of everyday life to Ihe point nf aclual depenrlence on chemislry, We live

searching lor life an other planets, genetic ~nanipt~lation,
and it goes on and on. Ernottons
and mental disorders can often be tracctl to chemical imbalan~e.The common dragged
out, grumpy feeling after an allernoon nap is a resul! of a chemical imbalance. The nature
of a liangover is the result of a complex system ol' altered body chemistry. Even learn~ng
appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a "memory mo!~cule."Most of t h ~
problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better help us to
~~nderstand
ourselves, our society, our world, and our tinlverse? Come join us as we take
a rnolrcular look at the human condition. This course will be offered in a lecture/discussiun
format. Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Quizzes and tests will be
used for evaluation. This course does not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106, 116 or
223.

Teacher Education with New Boundaries
EDE-413-4519, EDS 41 3-4520
Instructor: Lauretta Pelton
This course will give the student the opportunity to expand his/her knowledge about
teacher education and the schools in a chosen geographic area beyond Minnesota. The
student is encouraged to do the greater share of research at the chosen location. This will
include a specified number of days/hours to be spent in a school. This research will also
help the student identify courses s/he can take to fulfill requirements of that locale, and
to better prepare for that setting should s/he choose to live there. The student will research:
1. the professional and licensure requirements of the chosen state or country, its job
market, salary scale and level of living.
2. the expectations in the school curriculum as identified by local and extended educational governing powers.
3. various education concerns such as teacher unions, cultural make-up of the schools
along with related implications, testing-grading-promoting, etc.
Should a student prefer to remain in Minnesota for a specialized study related to curriculum
or school systems, that student will select an area of the elementary curriculum for intensive
study as it is developed and implemented at all grade levels in a specific school district.
The student will acquaint him/herself with: 1) the school's curriculum guide and resources
for that subject area and 2) appropriate resources found outside that school system.
As a result of this research the student will develop and complete one or more education
projects which will be used in future teaching. All activities related to the project will be
submitted in completed form.
Because much of the course will follow the format of an independent study, each student
will contact the instructor prior to December 15, to make known in writing the location
of choice, specific objectives, strategies and evaluative procedures for him/her to fullfill
the requirements of the course.

diseases of the mind or the body. Westem and Eastern philasophles ask (he question,
"How can one heal~oneself?'' and have evolved some startling a n w e k about prwpectlve,

links to geology, biology, and the humanities. Space-Age alternatives are also presented
to integrate the flood of news media with past knowledge.
Class instruction and individual research will include study of the historical and modern
impact of math-related cosmic models, and will note some misuses of mathematics which
have elevated some "scientific speculation" into "scientific fact." A written research paper
is required in one of six major areas discussed.

Ethnicity and Community in Urban Society
SOC 261 -4560
Instructor: Gordon Nelson
It has been suggested that the persistence of ethnic neighborhoods in American cities has
functioned as a locus of community in urban life. Moreover, it is argued that these communities have provided stability and identity in the face of the dehumanizing tendencies
in an industrialized and bureaucraticized society. This course will attempt to assess the
extent to which the foregoing assertions might apply to ethnic neighborhoods in the Twin
Cities. After some preliminary background sessions and readings, each member of the class
will be asked, either individually or as part of a group, to explore a particular ethnic
community in the Twin Cities and report back to the class. This class presentation and a
final examination will be the basis of evaluation for the course.

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, 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. There will be no
summer Interim in 1986.
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-courseload 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).

Options
International Interims-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.
Internships-Students electing an internship must present a
completed internship learning contract to the Internship Office
(Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 26. Contract
forms are available in the same office.
Independent or Directed Study-Students may elect a program
of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study
(lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly
discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed 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 4-1-4institution 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 done at Augsburg
during the regular registration period. Most courses taught
during the Interim at other 4-1-4schools 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.

II Biological Evolution
BIO 431-48008
Instructor:Ralph Sulerud
That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are
biologically related are probably the most significant conclusions
which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The antievolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationists" will be
investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted as a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined.
Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of
evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and
continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study
of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwiniantimes to the present.
F'inaUx we will address the course of evolution from the origin of
life itself to the origin of human life.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes
and tests.

1. to develop a clearer understanding of how the different functional areas of an organization operate on a day to day basis
and how these "parts" are integrated into the overall operation of the firm.
2. to examine the extent to which "textbook approaches" correspond to "real world" situations and are able to accornrnodate practical application.
3. to explore potential conflicts between individual (personal
and career) goals and the goals of the organization; addressing how these conflicts may be resolved.

Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of the
history of the form of the short story, a sufficient number of classics will be assigned for the student to appreciate the historical
development from Poe to Beattie. The course will involve practice
in ways of approaching literature and will include study of the basic critical terminology, so it would be an appropriate course for
students who have not yet studied literature at the college level.

In this course we will study 1)Numerical integration; 2) Solutions
to 1st order differential equation: 3) Sch~dinger'sequation (an
example of a 2nd order differential equation).
The solution to Schrodinger's equation is important in physics

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The college follows a 4-1-4calendar, 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. There will be no
summer Interim in 1987.
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 a s 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
PIN 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).
Augsburg Policy
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 a s required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, a s amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

H Biological Evolution
BIO 307-47008
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are
biologically related are probably the most sigmficant conclusions
which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The antievolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationists" will be
investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted a s a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined.
Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of
evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and
continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study
of evolutionary thought from pre-Darwinian times to the present.
Finally, we will address the course of evolution from the origin of
life itself to the origin of human life.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes
and tests.

Augsburg Goes to Business
BUS 321-47012
Instructor:Thomas Morgan, Tina Wagner, Lois Olson
"Augsburg Goes to Business" is a one-month senior seminar for
business and economics majors. The goal of the seminar is to provide a better understanding of the diversity in organizations and
the varied environments in which and the many constraints with
which they must operate. Three objectives emerge:
1. to develop a clearer understanding of how the different functional areas of an organization operate on a day to day basis
and how these "parts" are integrated into the overall operation of the firm.
2. to examine the extent to which "textbook approaches" correspond to "real world" situations and are able to accommodate practical application.
3. to explore potential conflicts between individual (personal
and career) goals and the goals of the organization; addressing how these conflicts may be resolved.
Class time will be divided between on-campus lecture and discussion and off-campus visits. Students will visit eight different
types of organizations in the metropolitan area. Class discussions
will focus on assigned readings, interpretation of the results of
different vocational oriented tests, and the issues relevant to the
selection of career paths.
Students will keep a journal of experiences and observations.
Grades will be determined on the basis of the journal and on a
research paper the topic of which has been negotiated with the
instructors.

The Short Story - Elements of Fiction
ENG 240-4702..
Instructor: Kathryn Swanson
What is fiction? What is good fiction? What elements of fiction
should I consider in making an evaluation? In this course, students will find answers to these questions by reading 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 course will involve practice in ways of approaching literature
and will include study of the basic critical terminology, so it would
be an appropriate course for students who have not yet studied
literature at the college level.
Students are expected to read the stories and novel, participate in
class discussions, write an analysis paper on a topic selected with
the advice of the teacher, write a short story, and take several quizzes and a final exam. Effective Writing is not a prerequisite but
students will be expected to write with clarity

Emily Dickinson: The Person and The Poems
ENG 340-47029
Instructor:Ron Palosaari
Unknown in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson has gained a reputation as one of America's finest poets.
She spent most of her life within the family home, confining her
relationships to a selected few while the town regarded her as eccentric. Some writers believe she retreated from the world to give
herself to her poetry because her time and place made no provision for a female professional poet, especially a boldly innovative
one. Others trace her seclusion to various family relationships,
personal problems, or frustrated dreams of love. Whatever the situation, out of the mystery of her life comes the glory of her poetry.
We will study her poetry and a standard biography. Evaluation will
be based on a few short papers, an oral or group report, a journal,
and a test. We may also have some quizzes.
Students will also read one of the important books on Dickinson
and give a class report on the paper they prepare on their book.

with Paris. We will enjoy them as literature but study them as
historical sources for what they tell us about Paris. The three
pieces of literature we probably will read are Honore de Balzac,
Old Goriot (1834),one of several novels he wrote picturing life in
Paris; Alexis de Tocqueville, Recollections (1893),a memoir written in the early 1850's by one of the great political thinkers of the
19th century that recounts his firsthand experience in the '48 revolution in Paris; and Edrnond and Jules de Goncourt, Pages from
the Goncourt Journal (1922),a very realistic day-to-daydiary kept
by two brothers who professionally and socially associated with
the literary elite of Paris during much of the second half of the
19th century. Whereas today history is being pressed toward the
social sciences, this represents a more humanities orientation of
historical study.
There will be two short papers (4-5 pages each) and two written
examinations.

Myth and Myth Making
HIS 219-47037
419-47038
HUM 275-47039
Instructor:Richard Nelson
A myth is not something patently false or absurd, although popular usage has emphasized its fictional quality. Myth is the means
by which people and cultures explain themselves to others and to
themselves. In this course we will examine mythopoeic thought
and the myths which that process evolved in the ancient Near
East, Greece and Rome. We will read mythological literature in
translation and modern commentaries on the nature of myth
making. These mythologies will be studied within their historical
and cultural context, resulting in a final paper on a topic to be
decided upon between student and instructor. In addition to the
final paper, there will be a final exam and weekly quizzes or writing assignments. Depending upon production timing, the class
will attend an area dramatic presentation. Students enrolling for
upper division credit will be required to write an expanded final
paper based on deeper source material (18-20pages in length compared to lower division papers of 10-12 pages) and, in addition, a
critical review of a pertinent study

20th Century South Asia
HIS 262-47040
Instructor: Don Gustafson
India (or South Asia)has produced the largest working democracy
in the world today; from this people have come one of our century's greatest saints and also one of the most renowned statesmen;
it is a foremost example of 20th Century colonialism and nationalism; it has experienced one of this century's greatest upheavals of
people; it is a standard example for population crisis and world
poverty illustrations. South Asia is all this-and much more.
This course is designed for the student who has interest but little
or no background in non-western subjects. We will begin with an
anthropological study (BEHIND MUD WALLS) of traditional village India; then consider colonialism by reading the literary classic, PASSAGE TO INDIA (and also see the movie); observe the
process of nationalism and independence using various historical
readings and the movie, GANDHI; and finally conclude with some
thoughts on modernization.
There will be general discussions, weekly examinations and a final exam.

Instructors: John Benson and Mark Engebretson
For some in our society science is the driving engine of a better,
more secure life. For others, including some Christians, science
and its associated technologies constitute a grave threat.
This course will begin with a historical overview of the relations
between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods; the origins of the Christian faith, the development of "modern" science and mechanistic philosophy; and the reevaluation of
science and nature in the 20th century
The following are some of the questions to be dealt with: Has science made the Bible obsolete? Are scientists really that smart?
Has modern physics made it easier to be a Christian? Can computers save us? Why do science and religion always seem to be
fighting one another?
Grades will be based on class discussion of assigned readings, two
