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

I n t e r c u l t u r a l Communication
SPEECH 98331
Instructor:
Joel Mugge
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.
The course i s particularly recommended f o r students planning t o study
o r travel abroad.

Introducing Augsburg
Few liberal arts coll~gescombine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan
center with the smallness and intimacy of the rural setting. Augsburg is one of the
few, very special Christian colleges which can offer you both, as indicated in the
Mission stat ern en^ adapted by the Faculty and the Board of Regents In 1377.
Mission Statement
Augsburg is an accredited four-year liberal arts college of The American Lutheran
Church located in Minneapolis, at the center of the Twin City metropolitan area.
The coeducational student body of approximately 1500, while largely o l Lutheran
orientation, includes students of diverse ages from a wide variety of religious,
cultwral and ethnic backgrounds.
For over 100 years the college has emphasized intellectual freedom in the search for

faculty and staff gather each Monday, W~dnesrlay,and Friday to give thanks and
hear he Word proclaimed by a number o f speakers. Each Wednesday night some
200 stuclents garher for I-loly Communion.
We seek 'to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to
gradually change and ctiscover the ifts that God has iven them. As a colle e of the

110 Introduction to Philosophy: Ideas and Method
Though each person has his o w n set of ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been critically
analyzed or evaluated for their consistency, adequacy or truth. O n e reason for this is that
individuals lack the needed skills. Another i s that they may have had little opportunity t o
examine critically some of the ideas basic to western culture. The purposes of this course
are t o provide the student with some experience i n examining ideas, and thereby t o
sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to evaluate and construct a system of ideas
and beliefs.
120 Ethics
Sometimes you say thatacertain action i s right or condemn itas wrong. Why d o you think it
is right? Because you like it? Are there better reasons for thinking something right or
wrong? This course takes a long, hard look at possible grounds for making moral decisions,
and at the moral judgments about personal and social issues resulting from them.
130 Logic
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then says you must accept a particular
conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion follow from premises? Here we examine
the rules which govern valid argumentsand work to develop your ability to recognize and
construct sound arguments.
241 History of Philosophy I: Plato and Aristotle
How, when and why did phiiosophy begin? Who were Sor-rates, Plato, Aristotle and the
Stoics; what did they belleve? Why did Platn think that t l r physlcal
~
world was not overly
important, and what did he valur7 Wow ditl Arisio!l~,thr srientrst, respond to this? The
answers to these and other questions will hr considered as ro reveal what these great
philosophers can contribute to our contemporary problems and ideas. (Fall)
242 History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a period of darkness, whereas the Renaissancewas a
timeof rediscovery and enlightenment. How dark were the Middle Ages; how enlightened
the Renaissance?We shall attempt to discover the grandeur of the Medieval philosophers,
learn how the Christian tradition was carried forward in the Age of Faith, explore the
worship of the world and the individual in the Renaissance, and the new methodology of
the 17th Century rationalists. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 241.)
343 History of Philosophy Ill: Enlightenment and 19th Century Philosophy
Where does knowledge h g i n ? In innate ideas or with experience? What can we really
know about the wt,rld? What impact did Romanticism have on philosophy?This course
studies the malor empiricists of the 18th century (Locke, Herkcley, Humc). Kant's synthesis
of philosophy, 79th century idealism, and the reaction to idcalism in men such as Marx,
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. (Fall. Suggested prior course, 241 or 242.)
344 History of Philosophy IV: Contemporary Philosophy
What lies behind 20th century philosophy's love affair with language? Is truth that which
works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science? These and other issues are dealt
with in a study of the major representativesof linguisticanalysis, pragmatism, existentialism,
and phenomenology. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 241,242, or 343.)
350 Philosophy of Religion
What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and what can be said about
him i f hedoes?Can we reconcile thegoodnessof God with human and animal suffering? Is
man really immortal? Are miracles possible? We will conduct a systematic inquiry into
these questions which form the basis of religious beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in
philosophy.)
355 Oriental Philosophy
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism,
Confucianism and Taoism. (Suggested: one prior course i n philosophy.)
362 Political Philosophy
As residents of an urban college we are citizens of the city. What is the relation between the
citizen and the city? In a larger context, what i s the origin of the State and the basis for its
laws? What relation holds between law and morality, and between God, the Church and
the State?This coursestudies the key conceptsof politics found in the tradition of western
political thought.
365 Philosophy of Science
The scientist's knowledge of the world i s purported to be profoundly different and better
than that of the non-scientist. Is this true? What constitutesscientific knowledge?Are there
certain real questions which science cannot answer? How certain are the methods used by
the scientist to recover knowledge? In addition to dealing with these questions, students
will work in researching and developing philosophical problems in the special sciences.
(Suggested prior course, 130 or one course in natural science.)
370 Existentialism
Studies i n the writings - both philosophical and literary - of prominent Existentialist
authors. We will examine what it means to be a being-in-the-world, and explore such
themes as absurdity, freedom, guilt, despair and paradox. (Suggested: One prior course in
philosophy)

Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges combine the
excitement and vitality of a metropolitan
center with the smallness and intimacy of
the rural setting. Augsburg is one of the
few, very special Christian colleges which
can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables
you to be a participant or a spectator at a
variety of events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts, films, and lectures are
regularly available to you on campus,
as are intercollegiate or intramural athletic
programs.
Religious activities are a vital part of the
campus. The Religious Life Commission
has been established by the Student
Government to oversee, stimulate and
perpetuate religious life on the Augsburg
campus. Its primary purpose and goal i s
neither self-serving nor self-sustaining,
but rather furthering the ministry of
Christ on the Augsburg campus.
You, the student, are an individual at
Augsburg. You design your own learning
experience. While distributional and
major requirements act as guidelines,
there is latitude to design a portion o f
your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental as well as the individual are
central. The college follows the calendar
known as the "4-1-4."
I n the study of the liberal arts, you will
encounter ideas and experiences from
the whole range of human knowledge.
The liberal arts education, however, is
more than an education of knowledge
from a number of fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration is necessary in
your chosen field. You may choose from a
variety of majors for hundreds of career
possibilities.
Augsburg is i n the center of the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this
metropolitan setting, a rich kaleidoscope
of resources and activities i s available t o
enrich your education, if you choose. You
may select an evening at the Guthrie
Theater, the Brave New Workshop, or at
any of the many galleries or coffee
houses. You might spend an afternoon
touring the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
You may choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra or one by the many professional touring groups that appear i n
the Twin Cities. There are numerous
opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available - the Twins, the Vikings, the North
Stars, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg i s a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an
eager student body and a remarkable
location.

Instruction facilities and student housing
at Augsburg are conveniently located in
relation t o each other.
Remodelling and construction work to
eliminate architectural barriers is expected t o be completed during 1980. This will
include street level access from 21st
Avenue South t o a tunnel/ramp/skyway
system that connects the tower dormitories and the five buildings on theQuadrangle.
Remodelling of academic and administrative space will result in relocations of
some departments and offices by 1980-81.
Following are descriptions of buildings.
The Admissions House, located at 628-21st
Avenue South, provides offices for the
admissions staff and a reception area for
prospective students and their parents.
The George Sverdrup Library, named in
honor of Augsburg's fourth president,
was erected and dedicated in 1955. Adjacent t o Science Hall and of similar
contemporary architectural design, it
provides excellent resources for research
and study. It contains reading rooms,
seminars, work rooms, a visual-education
center, the Augsburg Archives, classrooms, and a number of faculty offices.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, includes
general administration offices; the Computer Center; well-equipped laboratories
for chemistry, physics, and biology; a
medium-sized auditorium; and several
classrooms and faculty offices. The Lisa
Odland Observatory on the roof of
Science Hall was completed in the summer of 1960.
O l d Main, erected i n 1900, contains a
large number of classrooms and offices.
West Hall is an apartment building purchased in 1966 shortly after it was constructed. It provides excellent housing for
married students.
Mortensen Tower, erected i n 1973,
named in honor of Miss Gerda Mortensen, dean of women at Augsburg from
1923 to 1964, contains 104 one and twobedroom apartments providing housing
for 312 upperclass students. A spacious
lounge area as well as conference rooms
are located i n this building.
Urness Tower, completed in 1967, i s an
eleven-story building providing living
quarters for 324 students. The building
was named i n honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Urness who have given several
generous gifts to the college. A unique
feature of the building i s that each floor i s
considered a "house unit" providing the
36 residents, housed two to a room, with
their own lounge, study and utility areas.
The Augsburg College Center, completed
i n 1967, i s a center of non-academic
activity on campus. The building houses
the Commons, which i s the main dining
area, plus private dining rooms and a
coffee shop. Student government and
student publications have quarters in this
building. The bookstore i s also located
here. Spacious lounges and recreational
areas are provided in this three-story
building containing 55,000 square feet of
space.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected
in 1938, was named in honor of Augsburg's second and third presidents. The
building provides space for administrative
and faculty offices and houses about 40
students.
The Music Hall, erected i n 1978, i s the
newest building on the campus. It con-
tains classroom facilities, two rehearsal
halls, a music library, practice studios,
offices for the music faculty and a 217-seat
recital hall.
The Art Studio Building, dedicated i n
1964, houses the Department of Art on i t s
two floors.
Melby Hall, the auditorium-gymnasium,
was completed i n 1961. This building,
named in honor of Professor J.S. Melby,
dean of men from 1920 t o 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 Ice Arena, built i n 1974, provides two
large skating areas for Augsburg and the
metropolitan community. It is used for
hockey, recreational skating, and figure
skating.
The Speech and Drama Building was acq u i r e d i n 1959 and remodeled f o r
dramatic and other speech activities. A
theater wing addition t o Melby Hall, replacing the old music hall, is proposed for
completion late i n 1980.
Annex Houses, located i n the campus
area, provide accommodations for students, faculty, a n d staff members.
Academic Life
Augsburg i s a modern well-equipped
college which aims to provide i t s students
with a broad liberal arts education as well
as prepare them for a career. A strong
academic program in the arts and sciences
and in theology i s available. Pre-professional preparation for such fields as
engineering, medicine, law and t h e
Christian ministry is offered. The College
prepares students for graduate study in
several disciplines. Preparation f o r
careers in business, communications,
medical technology, music, nursing,
occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching i s available.
Augsburg seeks to assist i t s students
through their academic experience to
better understand themselves and the
world and to equip them to serve according t o their individual interests and
abilities.
The Student as Learner
A great deal has been written during the
last few years describing the responsibilities of a college to its students. Augsburg
recognizes its task to provide consistently
high quality opportunities for learning
along with support systems which enhance the teaching-learning process.
Learning i s not, however, a commodity
which can be purchased. It i s not equal t o
simply buying so many courses and being
exposed to the activities of professors.
Learning involves t h e solitary inner
struggle of the student who investigates,
analyzes and synthesizes the materials
and insights offered. When these have
become one's own and when the learner
moves on to new personal insights, then
learning has taken place.
Both the school and the student have
responsibilities in this process. Neither
party can elude its basic task.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to
take a personal interest in their students.
The student-faculty ratio i s approximately
15.5 to 1, with class size averaging 25 or
less.
Augsburg faculty members serve as
academic advisers and are available for
help on individual problems. They often
join students in discussing the political
climate, comparing notes on a visiting
speaker, or talking over the latest sports
victory while having coffee.
Library Services
Augsburg has a well-equipped library.
A relaxed atmosphere, a helpful staff and
friendly student library assistants make
the library a favorite place t o study. The
main library, centrally located next to the
Science Hall, houses over 160,000volumes
including books, periodicals, records and
various other media. The Music and
Chemistry libraries are located within the
departmental areas.
Access t o over a million volumes i s available via daily interloan and courier service
among the seven private liberal arts colleges and the Hill Reference Library.
Through Minitex, the statewide network,
the additional resources of Minnesota
and Wisconsin libraries are accessible to
the Augsburg faculty and students.
A s e r v i c e - d e d i c a t e d staff p r o v i d e s
students with assistance to meet diverse
information needs including instruction
i n the use of the library, standard reference service, guidance in pursuing term
paper topics, and directions to other local
sources of information.
The AV Center of the Library provides
facilities for classes in broadcasting and
audio-visual materials. Assistance with the
production of slides, transparencies, filmstrips and audiohide0 tape recordings
are available f o r b o t h faculty and
students. Equipment such as movie and
slide projectors and tape recorders may
be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice o n
materials selection are also available.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar. Two
15-week semesters are separated by a 4week interim in January. During each
semester the student generally enrolls in
four courses; during the interim concentration is on one subject.
The interim period i s an especially exciting time. The whole world becomes an
arena of learning. Creative energies and
individual interests determine the course
of study. Innovation and experimentation
are encouraged i n this change from the
general academic schedule. Interest in
music may take form i n the study and
presentation of a concert program. Interest in people may find form in the study
and participation in activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising
agencies provide opportunities for those
interested in communications. Whether
your interests are sedate or spectacular
the interim will afford the opportunity t o
experience and experiment while learning.
General Education
Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation
are minimal, affording the student considerable f r e e d o m i n t h e choice o f
courses. A student seeking a liberal arts
education would probably choose many
of them even if they were not required.
In selecting courses t o meet the general
distribution requirements, students may
select an approved course in the areas of
mathematics or physics, chemistry or biology, psychology or sociology, economics o r p o l i t i c a l science, history o r
philosophy, and English or speech, communication and theater arts. The study of
a foreign language is required. Proficiency in English writing must be demonstrated. One course from an approved list
of courses containing an emphasis on
urban concerns i s required as is prof i c i e n c y i n t w o l i f e t i m e sports.
For details on general education requirements, see the Academic Administration
section.

Pre-Professional Training
Students who plan to enter the fields of

education at Augsburg. It i s suggested
that requirements for admission t o graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and
then the course of study at Augsburg be
planned accordingly. Augsburg offers a
wide scope of courses in the natural and
social sciences, i n the humanities, and in
religion and philosophy which will provide the necessary preparation for future
professional study.

Inter-lnstitutiona( Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges
and institutions in the Twin Cities area on
several programs.
Library and Media Center. Through C.L.I.C.,
the Twin Cities private colleges library
consortium, and Minitex, the statewide
library network, the Augsburg community has access to over 5,000,000 volumes. Augsburg's library works with a
collection of education materials including approximately 160,000 books, periodicals, records, tapes, scores and films.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities.
Full-time students at Augsburg and the St.
Paul colleges of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine and St. Thomas may elect a
course each semester at another campus.
No additional fee is required for such an
exchange, except for private instruction
in music and some independent studies.
See under "Independent Study" for
further details. Students may elect to
participate in the cooperative program t o
gain new perspectives, t o get better acquainted with the other schools, or to
undertake a specific course or major not
offered on the home campus. The colleges have coordinated calendars. The
interim term may also be taken on
another campus. A regularly scheduled
bus shuttles students b e t w e e n t h e
campuses.
Augsburg College also cooperates with
other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January interim. For
example, Augsburg and St. Olaf jointly
plan a number of foreign study opportunities for the interim. Since the interim
program i s new each year, the Interim
Director should be consulted regarding
planned programs.
The Higher Education Consortium. This
group i s composed of colleges and universities i n Minnesota, Iowa and South
Dakota. Planned activities include innovative curricular programsfor students,
interchange and sharing of academic personnel and o t h e r college resources,
cooperative research projects, foreign
study, joint sponsorship of a metro-urban
affairs conference, and development of
programs consistent with the needs and
resources of the community organizations of the Upper Midwest.
Chemical Dependency Program. A cooperative effort between Augsburg College and Metropolitan Community College in downtown Minneapolis has resulted i n the establishment of a four-year
program in social work, sociology or
psychology with a chemical dependency
specialty. The program i s designed t o train
specialists to help professional people i n
dealing with chemical dependency
problems. Courses are taken both on the
Augsburg and Metropolitan campuses.
Conservation of Human Resources
(CHR). These co-learning classes bring
together Augsburg students, prison inmates, mental hospital patients, guards,
and students at rehabilitation centers.
Classes are held at such places as the
Shakopee Institution for Women, Stillwater State Prison, Trevilla of Robbinsdale
(a center for the severely physically handicapped), or on the Augsburg campus. The
classes offered through several departments give students first-hand views of
the prisons, hospitals, and rehabilitation
centers. The response o f students
involved in the courses, both from Augsb u r g and t h e institutions, has been
extremely favorable.
Computer Programming. Augsburg and
Control Data Institute have an arrangement whereby students may transfer the
equivalent of three courses in computer
programming taken at CDI to Augsburg
College.
Affiliation with School of Nursing. Nursing students in the school of nursing at
Lutheran Deaconess Hospital receive instruction in biology, chemistry, and other
basic courses at Augsburg. Applications
for admission t o the school of nursing
should be made directly to the hospital.
Medical Technology. In cooperation with
Hennepin County General, Metropolitan
Medical Center, and Northwestern hospitals, Augsburg offers work which
enables qualified students to receive a
college degree with a major in Medical
Technology. The first three years of this
work are taken at Augsburg, and a final
twelve-month program is completed at
one of the three hospitals when the
student i s accepted by the participating
hospital for i t s program. Augsburg College does not guarantee acceptance by
the hospitals.
Engineering. Affiliation with Washington

learning and development also occur in
formal and informal activities and opportunities of the college and metropolitan
area. Whether you are a resident or commuter student, you'll find that the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg can
add dimension to your education.
Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg
is religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by students and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation t o worship, devotional life and the stimulation of
faith. Chapel services are held three times
a week and are both experimental and
traditional in character. The Wednesday
evening Eucharist service in the College
Center is a valued worship experience for
many students. Students, faculty and staff
participate voluntarily. Special events are
sponsored throughout the year and a
number of groups having a religious
emphasis meet regularly. The College
Pastor has an office in the College Center
to be readily available for counseling,
consultation or ways to get more involved
in religious activity and groups.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, special dinners,
name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisuretime activity on campus. Offices for the
College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo,
and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are
on the lower level. Many of the clubs that
unite classroom or non-classroom related
interests meet in the Center.
There are several opportunities for participation in music and drama. In addition
to performing on campus and in the city,
the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and
Orchestra tour. The String Ensemble, the
Chorale, the Jazz Ensemble and several
student-organized groups such as the
Cabaret Singers also perform on and off
campus. Several plays are given o n
campus each year under the direction of
the theater arts department.
Recreation
Every student is urged t o participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides

Student Services
Augsburg College i s concerned with educating the whole person and recognizes
that the context in which learning takes
place i s a critical factor in achieving optimal growth. Knowledge grows from more
than intellectual endeavors. Expanding
relationships, exploring values, identifying life styles, developing autonomy and
interdependence, finding purpose and
commitment - all combine with intellectual content and skills to produce the
desired educational impact of the college
on its students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been
created to support this task. During the
summer before your freshman year, or at
the time of transfer, you will receive a
copy of SEMAPHORE: Student Guide to a
College Education. This book will help
you assess the possibilities in your education, choices to make, directions to
consider and different destinations for
which t o plan. SEMAPHOREwas designed
to act as a sort of road map for you.
The Center for Student Development
provides a variety of services to help make
your journey as rich and meaningful as
possible. Some of the opportunities you
may wish to participate i n are listed
below.
Summer Orientation. You can plan your
first academic year and register for classes.
You and your parents get acquainted with
classmates, faculty, and staff as well as with
the campus. You stay in the dormitory,

you have about college life.
Career Planning and Placement. You may
be uncertain about where you want to be
when you finish your undergraduate experience, whether your life style will be a
balanced one, how work will provide
opportunity for service and fulfillment.
Augsburg has a four-year career development plan to help you assess yourself,
explore possibilities, test realities and prepare for entry into the next phase of your
life. All new students will have a chance t o
review their interests with a counselor.
Human Development Seminars. A series
of informal "mini-courses" are offered
each year t o help you grow in understanding of yourself and your relationship

lndian students. The American lndian
Programs Counselor provides recruitment, courses, supportive services, community service and activities to improve
educational opportunities for American
Indians.

countries, and i n planning activities and
events which can increase intercultural
awareness of students, faculty and staff.

Residence Life
Because Augsburg recognizes that a student's ability to respond to the learning
environment depends, in part, upon his
or her living conditions, a variety of
housing alternatives is provided. The residence hall program is designed to promote student growth through relationships with other students and being an
active participant in group decisionmaking. Each residence unit has one or
more Resident Staff who are able to
facilitate the process of group living as
well as discuss personal concerns with
individual students.

aspects of your housing situation i s to avail
yourself of the opportunity to bid for a
house as a Special Interest House. Groups
of students have created exciting projects
by writing and implementing educational
impact proposals on such topics as
Environmental Concerns, Men's and
Women's Awareness, International Living,
Simplified Life Styles, and Scandinavian
Studies.

PREPARING A BUDGET
Writing down realistic estimates of all
expenses and of all potential financial
resources i s the best way to do your
financial planning. Both your own financial ability and that of your family are
considered in evaluating your need for
financial aid. Your budget should include
amounts for tuition and fees and for
books and supplies. Tuition and fees for
1980-81 are $3660 per year. Books and
supplies may be estimated at $225 per
year. Room and board i s $1760 per year.
Other college-related expenses are those
for transportation to and from the campus. Estimates should be based on nine
months.
Personal maintenance costs vary, but
amounts should be budgeted for:
Clothing, cleaning
Recreation, entertainment
Personal spending, cosmetics,
incidentals
Medical (doctors, dentists, eyeglasses,
etc.)
After you have written down estimates of
your expenses, make a list of all possible
sources of income, such as: contributions
from parents' earnings; personal and
family savings; personal earnings during
vacation periods; earnings from part-time
jobs during academic year; benefits from
Social Security and/or Veteran's Administration; aids or loans from sources other
than family, friends or Augsburg (i.e.,
scholarships from state, church, civic and
school).
Students should check with their employers, their parents' employers and any
union t o which a family member belongs
for possible scholarship programs. High
school guidance counselors may have
information about student aid offered by
church, civic, professional, or fraternal
organizations i n a given locality. Following
you will find a summary of financial aid

Probation and Dismissal
A student may be placed on scholastic
probation at the end of a term if his or
her achievement i s unsatisfactory.
below 1.6 or 2 zero
grades having taken 6 or
fewer courses
SOPHOMORE, below 1.7 or 3 zero
grades having taken 7-15
courses
JUNIOR,
below 1.9 having taken
16-24 courses
SENIOR,
below 2.0 having taken
25 or more courses
FRESHMAN,
If a student has been on probation two or
more semesters consecutively, he/she i s
subject to dismissal at the end of the
following spring term. A student who has
a poor academic record may be strongly
advised t o withdraw before the end of the
spring term.
Dismissal from the College will not be
automatic. Each case will be reviewed by
t h e Committee o n Admissions and
Student Standing.
A student who has been o n probation for
two terms and withdraws from the Cod
lege voluntarily must havespecial permission to re-enroll.
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses i s measured primarily by means of final examinations. Shorter examinations or tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation are also used.
Most courses are graded on a scale of 4.0
to 0 with definitions as follows:
4.0 Achieves highest standards o f
excellence.
3.5
3.0 Achieves above basic course
standards.
2.5
2.0 Meets basic standards for the
course.
1.5
1.0 Performance below basic course
standards.
.5
0. Unacceptable performance ( n o
credit for the course).
Most courses are also offered on a Pass/
N o Credit system, with P meaning a grade
of 2.0 or better and N meaning no credit
and a grade of less than 2.0. O n the P/N
grading system the grade is recorded but
not computed in the grade point average.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of P toward graduation. For transfer students the maximum is an averageof
two courses per year. Two courses in the
major (except Elementary Education) and
one in the minor may be on P/N grading
system if approved by the department
chairperson.
Sociology 383 and several interim courses
are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education courses are graded
only on the P/N system or only o n the
traditional system. English 111 is graded P
or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are
graded only P, 1.0, N. Students may select
the traditional grading system i n most
other courses. Students are cautioned t o
use the P/N grade option with care since
some graduate and professional schools
do not look favorably on a large number
of P-graded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration form those courses which they wish
to take on the P/N grading system. Any
changes in choice of grading system must
be made according t o dates published
each term. A fee i s charged after the first
five days of classes.
Music organizations and performance
studies, Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime
Sports are graded P/O.O.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the caseof extreme emergency. To
receive an I grade, a student must file a
petition with the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing stating the
reasons for requesting it, the plan and
date for removing it, and comments from
the instructor of the course. If permission
to receive an I grade is granted, it must be
removed during the following semester.
If the incomplete is not removed during
the following semester, it becomes the
grade submitted by the teacher along
with the incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent Study or Directed Study course
that i s t o be spread over more than one
semester. Such a course must be completed during the second semester or the
grade of X will remain on the record.
A course in which a grade of 0,1.0,1.5, N,
1, or X has been received may be repeated
for credit. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time arecounted toward graduation and i n the grade
point average. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however,
be audited.
Students who wish t o fake courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Such students should
confer with the professor within t w o
weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance requirement, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the
student's transcript as having been
audited. If expectations have not been
met, the course will be listed witti a grade
of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course
without charge. The charge for part-time
students i s listed under Expenses.
Dean's List
The Dean's List i s composed of students
whose grade point average for a semester
is 3.5 or better based on a minimum of
three full courses (or equivalent) graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes i n courses offered for credit.
The Dean's List i s published in the Augsburg College Now, and students receive a
letter of commendation from the Dean of
the College.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined
as follows:
Summacumlaude
Magnacumlaude
Cum laude
3.8 - 4.0 g r a d e
average
3.6 - 3.79 grade
average
3.3 - 3.59 grade
average
To qualify for graduation with distinction,
transfer students must have completed
two years (14traditionally graded courses)
of work at Augsburg.
Independent Study
An opportunity for independent study i s
offered through many departments. This
i s available to conscientious students who
demonstrate sufficient background and
preparation in a given field to carry out
work on an independent basis.
Most departments also offer an opportunity for directed study. As the term
suggests, this requires considerably more
faculty direction than for independent
study, and a student i s not expected t o
have as much background as for independent study. Directed study is offered
on a lower division level.
Students interested in registering for
either independent study or directed
study must first secure permission from
the faculty who will direct the study.
A student who registers for independent
study should normally expect to complete
it i n one semester but may extend it into
the next term by permission of the instructor. I n such cases, a grade of X i s
given at the end of the first term, and the
student will register again for the course
i n order t o receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may
count toward the 35 courses required for
the degree.
In the Five College Cooperative Program,
students may cross-register for independent studies only when the major field i n
which the independent study is proposed
is not available on their home campus.
Requests for exceptions t o this policy
should be made directly to their own
academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached t o
independent study by the host campus.
Veterans
Augsburg College is approved by the
State Approving Agency for Veterans
Training.
Veterans should consult with the Office of
the Registrar regarding completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information t o the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more
courses are classified as full-time students.
It i s the responsibility of each veteran t o
report any change i n registration and/or
academic load to the Office of the
Registrar.
Veterans will be referred to the State
Approving Agency after any period of two
consecutive terms in which they did not
earn a minimum of three courses per
term. An incomplete grade (I) may be
given only i n t h e case of extreme
emergency. See section o n Grading.
Grade reports are issued t o students following each term.
A non-punitive grade which brings a
veteran'; academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported t o
the Veterans Administration. Veterans
will need to meet the requirements of the
Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds
received.
General Information

University (Houghton, Michigan), i n a
Three-Two Plan of studies which will
enable a student to earn the Bachelor of
Arts degree from Augsburg College and
an engineering baccalaureate degree
from Washington University or Michigan
Technological University in a five-year
period. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg followed by two years at the
affiliated university. Students accepted
into the program are guaranteed admission t o the engineering school, provided
they have met course requirements, have
a B average, and are recommended by a
designated representative of Augsburg
College. Students receiving financial aid
who are participants in the Three-Two
Plan will be encouraged to apply to the
engineering school of their choice for
continuing support. Their applications
will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Minimum
course requirements for admission t o the
Three-Two Plan are: Math 124, 125, 224,
226; Physics 121,122; Chemistry 115, 116;
Computer Science 245; English 111; additional courses to meet general education
requirements and a total of 27 courses at
Augsburg. Normally Math 124, 125 and
Physics 121,122 are taken i n the freshman
year. Students are encouraged t o apply
for admission t o the program during their
sophomore year. Early consultation with
the adviser, Ken Erickson, i s encouraged.
English
Chairpersons: Catherine Nicholl, Richard
Sargent
MAJOR: 9 courses (above I l l ) , including
one course i n American literature, one
course i n the Western literary tradition
(271 or 272) and three courses in British
literature. Of the British literature courses,

one must survey a number of writers (for
example, 336,337, or 423). All majors must
take 225, Advanced Expository Writing.
Majors are encouraged to take, early in
their college work, course 245, Introduction t o Literature. Majors are strongly
urged t o consult their departmental
adviser regularly. A student with a double
major or special program that involves
considerable work in the English department should also work closely with an
adviser in the English department:

for the major and a course in the English
language. Courses i n early American litera t u r e , Shakespeare, a n d f i l m a r e

consider developing an area of emphasis
broader than the major as listed above.
The most likely areas would be a British
concentration, an American concentration, a world literature concentration, and
a writing concentration. A student arranges a concentration by careful selec-
tion of electives in the major, by the
design of an independent study course
that applies t o the concentration, and by
the selection of some related courses
outside the English department.

Philosophy
Chairperson: Kenneth Bailey
Courses 110, 120, and 130 are recommended for fulfilling the general education requirement.
MAJOR: 9 courses, including 130, 241,
242, 343, and 344.
110 I N T R O D U C T I O N T O PHILOSOPHY:
IDEAS A N D M E T H O D
M I N O R : 5 courses, including two courses
from 241,242, 343, and 344.
H O N O R S MAJOR: Admission t o the
Philosophy Honors program i s by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such
recommendations will be made at the end
of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved
topic of the student's choice, involving
research above the course level, and a
defense of this thesis before the faculty of
the department.
Though each person has his own set of
ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been
critically analyzed or evaluated for their
consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason for this i s that individuals lack the
needed skills. Another is that they may
have had little opportunity to examine
critically some of the ideas basic to western culture. The purposes of this course
are to provide the student with some
experience i n examining ideas, and
thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required t o evaluate and construct a system of ideas and beliefs. (Fall,
Spring)
120 ETHICS
Sometimes you say that a certain action i s
right or condemn it as wrong. Why do you
think it i s right? Because you like it? Are
there better reasons for thinking something right or wrong? This course takes a
long, hard look at possible grounds for
making moral decisions, and at the moral
judgments about personal and social
issues resulting from them. (Fall, Spring)
130 L O G I C
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and
then says you must accept a particular
conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion follow from premises? Here we
examine the rules which govern valid
arguments and work to develop your
ability to recognize and construct sound
arguments. (Fall, Spring).
241 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY I: P L A T 0
A N D ARISTOTLE
How, when and why did philosophy begin? Who were Socrates, Plato, Aristotle
and the Stoics; what did they believe?
Why did Plato think that the physical
world was not overly important, and what
did he value? How did Aristotle, the
scientist, respond to this? The answers to
these and other questions will be considered as to reveal what these great
philosophers can contribute to our contemporary problems and ideas. (Fall)
242 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY 11:
MEDIEVAL A N D RENAISSANCE
PHILOSOPHY
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a
period of darkness, whereas the Renaissance was a time of rediscovery and
enlightenment. H o w dark were t h e
Middle Ages; how enlightened the Renaissance?We shall attempt t o discover the
grandeur of the Medieval philosophers,
learn how the Christian tradition was
carried forward i n the Age of Faith, explore the worship of the world and the
individual i n the Renaissanceand the new
methodology of the 17th Century rationalists. (Spring. Suggested prior course,
247.)
343 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY Ill:
ENLIGHTENMENT A N D 19TH
CENTURY PHILOSOPHY
Where does knowledge begin? I n innate
ideas or with experience? What can we
really know about the world? What impact did Romanticism have on philosophy? This course studies the major
empiricists of the 18th century (Locke,
Berkeley, Hume). Kant's synthesis of philosophy, 19th century idealism, and the
reaction to idealism in men such as Marx,
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. (Fall. Suggested prior course, 247 or 242.)
344 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY IV:
C O N T E M P O R A R Y PHILOSOPHY
What lies behind 20th century philosophy's love affair with language? I s truth
that which works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science? These and
other issues are dealt with in astudy of the
m a j o r representatives o f l i n g u i s t i c
analysis, pragmatism, existentialism, and
phenomenology. (Spring. Suggested
prior course, 247, 242, or 343.)
350 PHILOSOPHY O F RELIGION
What is the relation between faith and
reason? Does God exist, and what can be
said about him if he does? Can we reconcile the goodness of God with human and
animal suffering? I s man really immortal?
Are miracles possible?We intend to conduct a systematic inquiry into these questions which form the basis of religious
beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in
philosophy.)
355 ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy.)
360 PHILOSOPHY O F LANGUAGE
Every day we use language to buy and sell,
praise and berate, communicate with
friends. What i s language? Could an individual be fully human without it? How
does language relate to the world - can
we really learn about the nature of things
from words? Do the mathematician and
the scientist have a language?I s it possible
to have a language which only one individual can understand?We shall explore
how philosophers have responded to
these and other important questions
about language. (Suggested prior course,
730 or 344.)
365
PHILOSOPHY O F SCIENCE
The scientist's knowledge of the world i s
purported to be profoundly different and
better than that of the non-scientist. I s this
true? What constitutes scientific knowledge? Are there certain real questions
which science cannot answer? How certain are the methods used by the scientist
to recover knowledge? In addition to
dealing with these questions,students will
work in researching and developing philosophical problems i n the special
sciences. (Suggested prior course, 730 or
one course in natural science.)
370 EXISTENTIALISM
Studies in the writings - both philosophical and literary - of prominent
Existentialist authors. We will examine
what it means to be a being-in-the-world,
and explore such themes as absurdity,
freedom, guilt, despair and paradox.
(Suggested: One prior course in philosophy)

Student achievement in courses i s measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter

Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N
means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students are cautioned to use the P/N
grade option with care since some graduate and professional schools d o not look
favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". See P/N
limitations under Graduation Requirements.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 383 and several
interim coursesare graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education c.ourses
are graded only on the P/N system or only o n the traditionalsystem. English 111 i s
graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are graded only P, 1.0, N.
Music organizations and performance studies, Chemistry Seminar, and Lifetime
Sports are graded P/O.O.
In courses where there i s a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system
unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading
option. Any changes i n choice of grading system must be made according to dates
published each term. A fee is charged for any changes after the first five days of
classes.

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

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

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

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

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.)

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.

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

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

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

meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to
Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a grill is located in Delta dormitory.
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a
program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training.
Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for
students interested in the arts and sciences, and also piovide
opportunity for a study of the sources oi the Christian faith.
Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to
participate in community and church activities.
In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula:
1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions
according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year
college or university.
2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for
semi-professional employment in the fields of parish work,
missions, secretarial work, social service and recreational
leadership.
3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for
individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs.
Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with
opportunities ...
. . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as
set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and
an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her
basic beliefs and spiritual commitments .
. . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young
adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and
active membership in Christian congregations .
. . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theater
through courses and cultural events on the campus and
through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College.
GENERAL INFORMATION

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

Transfer of Religion Courses
With reference to transfer of religion courses, it should be noted
that most colleges and universities accept our courses in religion.
Students who are planning to continue their education at a college
with limited transfer of religion .credits may register for the religion
courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through
the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable, and a
student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete
a Bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the A.A.
degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly.
'
The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct
themselves in a manner which is not in the best interests of the
10
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
individual, other students, or the College. Each student is expected
to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to
student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook.
Chapel
All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel
program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest
speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or
other special convocation programs.
Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily chapel
services of the College community. He or she is also encouraged to
attend public worship every Sunday in the church of ones choice.
Student Use of Automobiles
Since parking space is limited on campus, those students who do
not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from
work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need
an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through
the business office. The Dean of Students shall have the right to
terminate a permit :at any time if, in his opinion,. circumstances
warrant such action.
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Golden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students
from using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in
college-approved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on
and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action. In instances
where college officials are informed that Golden Valley Lutheran
College students have caused a disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol or drugs the College reserves the right to
take disciplinary action.
Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state
statutes pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student
who uses, possesses, or persuades someone else to use alcohol or
drugs in violation of the laws will be subject to disciplinary action.
The college's action will be determined by the circumstances
surrounding each individual case.
STUDENT PERSONNEL
11
Student Personnel Services
NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION
Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to
the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time
the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College
and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year.
The orientation period also includes a series of ability and
personality tests which are used to help provide a more effective
counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to
college life.
COUNSELING SERVICES
The major decisions which students have to make during their
early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling
provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their
academic, social, personal, and vocational problems.
The College counselors are available to assist students in
clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational
goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, to help
them plan programs in preparation for further study, and to help
them deal with personal and/or emotional problems.
Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him
or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each aca..
demic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to the
12
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
assigned faculty advisor, each student may make appointments to
visit Vv'ith instructors, Residence Hall Directors, the deans, the Co!lege nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance if difficulties are encountered.
Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this
assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation
courses described on page 63.
HEAL TH SERVICES
The College has a registered nurse on the staff to provide basic
medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a
mile from the campus.
INSURANCE
The personal property of staff members and students is not
covered by insurance and the college does not assume any responsibility for the loss of such property.
HOUSING SERVICES
Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college.
Provided space is available, all full-time students live in the College
residence halls. Exceptions are those who commute from their
tiomes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on
campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which
provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for
the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who

programs of the College provide wholesome recreation together
with programs that stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL LIFE
Student self-government is carried out by a Committee on Student Activities (CSA) elected by the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of student-faculty relations. It
seeks continually to improve and make the life of the student more
enjoyable. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by a Student Judiciary Board. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the CSA. Homecoming, Sno-Daze, and the Spring Banquet
are examples of the many social activities available.
RELIGIOUS LIFE
As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that sound ·religious life activities must be
an integral part of its program. In support of this conviction, the
College has regularly scheduled chapel services and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer
and Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child.

the fine arts; Various community concerts, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, and programs given by other
coHegesand the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities for cultural enrichment.

Costs
STUDENT COSTS 1981-82
The following pages explain the basic costs to the student and
the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting
these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of
tuition, board, room or fees at any time.
The college does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Many of the gifts that come in are
through legacies, matching gifts from corporations and Lutheran
Brotherhood, Minnesota Private College Contract, and congregations and congregational organizations. Most of the funds,
however, come from individual gifts. These contributors include
alumni, parents and friends of the college. There are two programs
to which people have committed themselves. They are the Loyalty
program, where one may pledge $400 to be paid over a four-year
period, and the Inasmuch program, where one may pledge $1,000 or
more to be paid over a four-year period. We believe that the Lord
answers prayer as we tell our friends what our needs are and ask
them to join us in participation by prayer and by giving.
Deposits and Fees
A $10 application fee must accompany the application for admission. This fee is not refundable.
All new students are required to make an initial deposit of $50 by

the $50 initial deposit before February 15). This comprehensive payment serves as a reserve deposit during the entire period of enrollment with any balance being refunded after all damage charges,

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

time.
BOOKSTORE
All textbooks, art and college supplies may be purchased at the

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

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

attends. If a student wants an extension beyond four weeks, he or
she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the
work is not completed, the grade becomes an F.
**Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by
W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last
regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas
determined by the instructor.
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
31
***An optional grading system of Sand U may be used at the discretion of the instructor for non-transferable credit. If a student is to
work for an S instead of a letter grade, the decision must be determined by the instructor and the student before the sixth week of the
quarter. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior
College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts degree.
Academic Honors
An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a
grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each
term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or
better are included on the Dean's List.
Unsatisfactory Academic Progress
In accordance with policies established by the administration and
faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to unsatisfactory
progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her
grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or
her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one
quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any
quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the
grade point average is raised to 1 .50 or above. A student who persists in a pattern of unsatisfactory progress may be dismissed from
college.
Eligibility for Varsity Sports
Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley
Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic
Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a
varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student
during the qualifying and competing quarter. He or she must earn a
grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course
work listed in the College catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in
their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter
requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all
hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing
a student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.)
With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a
student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a
quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of
study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee.
32
GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Repeating A Course
A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has
been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at
the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course
in which a D or F grade has been received, only the more recent
grade earned will be entered on the student's transcript and included in the computation of the grade point average.
Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for completing work as required in
each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused
absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to
learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually
stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a
student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of
unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments.
Independent Study
A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied
toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the
criteria established by the department and have the approval of the
chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent
Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study,
and a demonstration of relevance to the student's objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office.
Bible and English Requirements
All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for
eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the
student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A
student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to
take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102,
English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in
the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for
selection. The suggested Bible core sequence is listed on pages
57-58.
All freshmen students are required to take the sequence in College English (English 111, 112, 113).
THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM
33
Activity Credits
A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied
toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required
physical education are not included in this category, however one
physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for
varsity sports. (If the student plays on a varsity team two years,
only one credit will be granted for the sport.) Co-curricular activities
include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, Golden Valley
Singers, Madrigal Singers, Band, Golden Valley Orchestra, Theater
Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity
courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits
that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration

Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits
or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific
departmental policies.
Admission of Transfer Students

toward a degree or certificate at Golden Valley Lutheran College.
Transfer students are required to follow regular admissions procedure and submit an official transcript of record from each college

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.

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.

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.

Instructor: Ronald Palosaari
Within our culture are forces, patterns, and conditions that contribute to our degree of well
being. During January we will examine American culture trying to understand better some of
those factors that influence our wellness, to use the current popular term.
We will also consider the current wellness movement, examining its impact on American
culture and individually determine what it has to offer.
To take this class, one does not have to eat granola, seaweed, and brown rice nor run five
miles a day: One will be expected to walk or run regularly to class, to read several books and
articles, and to write some short papers. Those taking the class for upper division credit will

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
Minneapolis Institute of Arts to view prints and photographs of the city during this period.
There will be three tests and individual oral presentations of projects.

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.

Most courses are-offered with grading oprions - traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale or rhe Pass/NonCreditsystem.in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N
means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students are cautioned to use the P/N
grade o tion with care since some graduate and professional schools do not look
favorabc on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". See P/N
limitations under Graduation Requirements.
Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 383 and several
interim courses are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education courses
are raded only on the P/N system or only on the traditional s y s t ~ m English
.
Illis
grafed P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are graded only P, 1.0, N.
Music organizations and performance studies, Chemistry Seminar, gnd Lifetime
Sports are graded P/O.O.
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system
unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading
option. Any changes i n choice of grading system must be made according to dates
published each term. A fee i s charged for any changes after the first five days of
classes.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
4.0
3.5
3.0

Achieves above basic course standards
Meets basic standards for the course
Performance below basic course standards
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. A
grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents work at the 1.5 or
below level.

A course in which a grade of 0,1.0,1.5, N, I, or X has been received may be repeated
for credit. Courses i n which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated
for credit, but may be audited. All courses taken remain on the academic record.
Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted toward graduation
and in the grade point average.
A course i s given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping
classes without a notation on the record.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering
for Audit (V). Full-time students may audit a course without charge. The charge for
part-time students is listed under Expenses. Students who audit a course should
confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to
determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If expectations
have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If
expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W
(Withdrawn).

Study Options, Veterans/43
Dean's List
The Dean's List i s published after each semester, listing students whose grade point
average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of three full courses, or
equivalent, graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in

directed stud!: on a lower division level. A srudent who resisters for directed or
independent study should normally expect to complete i t in one semester but may
extend i t into the next term by permission of the instrucror. In such ca5es.a grade of
X isgiven a t theend of the f l r 5 t term. and zhestudentwill registerapain forthe course
to receive the final grade.
Student3 interested in registering for directed or independent study must first
secure permission from the faculty who will direct the study. A maximum of two
courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may count toward the 35
courses required for the degree.
Srudents may cross-register for inde endent studies at another ACTC school only
when the majorfield in which rheinBcpendenl study i s proposed is not available on
their home campus, and will be charged by the host campus for any special costs
a~tarhed.Requests for exception to this policvshould be made directly to their own

Philosophy
Bruce Reichenbach (Chairperson), Kenneth Bailey, Mark Fuehrer
Major: 9 courses, including 130,241,242,343,344, and one course in the400's (other
than 499). Five of the courses must be upper division.
Minor: 5 courses, including t w o courses from 241,242,343,
and 344.
Honors Major: Admission to the Philosophy Honors. p r o ram is by recornmendation of the philosophy facuf~y.Suchrecommendations w i l l b e made st rheend of the
junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis o n an approved topicof the
student's choice, involvin research above the cour5e level, and a defense of this
thesis before the faculty ofthe department.
Note: Courses 110, 120, and 130 are recommended for fulfilling the general
education requirement.
110 Introduction to Philosophy: Ideas and Method
Though each person has his own set of ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been critically
analyzed or evaluated for their consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason for this is that
individuals lack the needed skills. Another i s that they may have had little opportunity to
examine critically some of the ideas basic to western culture. The purposes of this course
are to provide the student with some experience i n examining ideas, and thereby to
sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to evaluate and construct a system of ideas
and beliefs.
120 Ethics
Sometimes you say that a certain action i s right or condemn it as wrong. Why do you think it
i s right? Because you like it? Are there better reasons for thinking something right or
wrong? This course takes a long, hard look at possible grounds for making moral decisions,
and at the moral judgments about personal and social issues resulting from them.
130 Logic
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then says you must accept a particular
conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion validly follow from premises? Here we
examine the rules which govern valid arguments and work to develop your ability to
recognize and construct sound arguments.
241 History of Philosophy I: Plato and Aristotle
How, when and why did philosophy begin? Who were Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and the
Stoics; what did they believe? Why did Plato think that the physical world was not overly
important, and what did he value? How did Aristotle, the scientist, respond to this? The
answers to these and other questions will be considered so as to reveal what these great
philosophers can contribute to our contemporary problems and ideas. (Fall)
242 History of Philosophy 11: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a period of darkness, whereas the Renaissancewasa
timeof rediscovery and enlightenment. How dark were the Middle Ages; how enlightened
the Renaissance?We shall attempt to discoverthe grandeur of the Medieval philosophers,
learn how the Christian tradition was carried forward in the Age of Faith, explore the
worship of the world and the individual in the Renaissance, and the new methodology of
the 17th Century rationalists. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 241.)
343 History of Philosophy Ill: Enlightenment and 19th Century Philosophy
Where does knowledge begin? In innate ideas or with experience? What can we really
know about the world? What impact did Romanticism have on philosophy? This course
studies the major empiricists of thelBth century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume). Kant's synthesis
of philosophy, 19th century idealism, and the reaction to idealism by men such as Marx,
Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. (Fall. Suggested prior course, 241 or 242.)
344 History of Philosophy IV: Contemporary Philosophy
What lies behind 20th century philosophy's love affair with language? Is truth that which
works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science? These and other issues are dealt
with in a study of the major representatives of linguisticanalysis, pragmatism, existentialism,
and phenomenology. (Spring. Suggested prior course, 241,242, or 343.)
350 Philosophy of Religion
What i s the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and what can besaid about
him if he does? Can we reconcile the goodness of God with human and animal suffering? I s
man really immortal? Are miracles possible? We will conduct a systematic inquiry into
these questions which form the basis of religious beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in
philosophy.)
355 Oriental Philosophy
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism,
Confucianism and Taoism. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy.)
362 Political Philosophy
As residents of an urban college we are citizens of the city. What i s the relation between the
citizen and the city? In a larger context, what i s the origin of the State and the basis for its
laws?What relation holds between law and morality, and between God, the Church and
the State?This course studies the key concepts of politics found in the tradition of western
political thought.
365 Philosophy of Science
The scientist's knowledge of the world i s purported to be profoundly different and better
than that of the non-scientist. Is this true?What constitutes scientific knowledge?Are there
certain real questions which science cannot answer? How certain are the methods used by
the scientist to recover knowledge? In addition to dealing with these questions, students
will work in researching and developing philosophical problems in the special sciences.
(Suggested prior course, 130 or one course i n natural science.)
370 Existentialism
Studies i n the writings - both philosophical and literary - of prominent Existentialist
authors. We will examine what i t means to be a being-in-the-world, and explore such
themes as absurdity,freedom, guilt, despair and paradox. (Suggested: One prior course in
philosophy)

PRESIDENT'S GREETING

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

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

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

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

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

through legacies, matching gifts from corporations and Lutheran
Brotherhood, Minnesota Private College Contract, and congregations and congregational organizations. Most of the funds,
however, come from individual gifts. These contributors include
alumni, parents and friends of the college. There are two programs
to which people have committed themselves. They are the Loyalty
program, where one may pledge $400 to be paid over a four-year
period, and the Inasmuch program, where one may pledge $1,000 or
more to be paid over a four-year period. We believe that the Lord
answers prayer as we tell our friends what our needs are and ask
them to join us in participation by prayer and by giving.

Gift Support
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and
board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the co!!ege.
Approximately 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts

dollars a year. Therefore, over and above all help given, each
student receives the equivalent of a $1850 scholarship per year
in order to cover the total expenses of the operation.

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

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

grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each
term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or

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

Class Attendance
Each student is responsible for completing work as required in
each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused
absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to
learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually

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.

The child, the youth, the middle-aged, the old, all live under pressure-political, social,

focus for the course. This i s not, however, a course in depression, for pressure and stress
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 purpose of the course is to clarify the thematic form of the Western and the Samurai film
by comparing their respective myths, their social premises, and their conventions: for
example, the ritualized duel and the use of proxemic patterns (treatments of space) i n ways
that are implicitly cultural. Although both genres are highly popular, they are vividly useful
for esthetic, cultural, and anthropological comparison. Students will be required to attend all

French Civilization Today
FRE 332 - 4022
Instructor: Ruth Aaskov
The study of 20th Century French civilization will extend and deepen our understanding of
the French and the role of their country in the world today. We will investigate the concerns
and the situation of the people vis-a-vis their family, friends, institutions, economy,
government. The study of "documents authentiques" as well as articles, essays, Guide France,
slides, music, art, and technology will help ascertain the major French contributions to our
civilization since 1900.
We will participate i n a variety of group and individualized activities: common readings with
discussion, illustrated presentations, projects and reports, field trips and media experiences
- all in order to broaden and deepen our French experience.
Evaluation will include the completion of assigned tasks and reports, participation and
contribution to the group, several brief quizzes, and individual progress in the ability to
initiate, develop, and present a topic or study within the course.
Materials will be largely i n French to assure an authentic French experience.

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.
Grades will be based on discussion, a journal, an exam, and for upper division there will be a
project. Fees - $15.00.

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 WEEKEND COLLEGE
1983-84 CALENDAR
Purpose
FALL TRIMESTER
November 4-6, 18-20
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but who work or have other
commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women
may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional
advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest
in one or more areas of the liberal arts.

The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the
needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the
assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College
will be mature, selfdisciplined and well-motivated adult. learners who
seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each
course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent study and class preparation.
January 6-8, 20-22
Alternate Weekends
February 3-5, 17-19
To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate
weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each class selected
by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods.
Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses
by attending class every other weekend.

Essential to the goals of Augsburg Weekend College is participation in a
community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the
student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and
encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out oi the
classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both
men and women with a variety of work and life experiences.
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the
library and college center, to take the opportunity of having shared
meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional chapel services and
lunchtime seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music
and dramatic presentations and athletic events.

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Augsburg Weekend College provides a number of student services to
assist adults in making educational and career plans, accomplishing the
academic tasks of a college education, working on their own personal
development, and participating in activities beyond the classroom.
Some of these services are:
Academic Planning
All Augsburg Weekend College students will have access to expert
academic advising services on an on-going basis to provide for
efficient, effective planning. Students enrolling in Weekend College who
have had college experience will have their previous work evaluated
early in the admissions process.
Career Planning Services
Staff from the Career Planning and Placement Office will assist adults in
assessing their career goals and personal abilities. This service, in
combination with sound academic advising from faculty in a chosen
major field, can result in an appropriate and manageable educational
and career plan for the individual involved.
Academic Skills Center
This center exists to help students enhance their skills in the areas of
writing, reading, math, time management, and study skills. Academic
tutors in specialized course areas are also available through the Center.
CounselinglSupport Groups
Individual and group activities are available to students who wish to
work on a personal growth interest or concern or who simply want to
have the experience of being in a support group of people who share
some similar characteristics and/or interests.
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in
many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit
recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic programs
of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous
Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited
institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward
the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit
recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two
essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within
the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively
demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee
evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which
students may have their previous learning assessed for credit
recognition:
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Students who achieve acceptable scores in CLEP exams may receive
academic credit in Augsburg College. CLEP exams are available in a
variety of general and specific subject areas. For more information,
contact the Admissions Office (330-1002).
Departmental Assessment
Students who wish to receive credit for a specific academic course and
do not have transcript evidence of completed work may request a
departmental assessment of previous learning. This will most often
include an examination that covers the essential components of the
course involved. For more information, contact the Registrar's
Office (330-1036).
CAP (Credit Assessment Process)
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee
completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the
student. Informational meetings and consultation are provided for
students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit
assessment. Students may apply for CAP after completing at least four
courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative GPA
of at least 2.5. For more information, contact the Registrar's
Office (330-1036).

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

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

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

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

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

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

Intramural programs are available for both men and women. These

Music
Golden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and spir"1tual
values that music contributes to our society. It desires, therefore, to
cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music by
giving opportunity for self-expression as a member of a performing
group. These groups include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir,
a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble
which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Golden Valley
Singers, a women's chorus; a pep band and concert band; the Golden
Valley Orchestra, a community and college organization; and various
vocal and instrumental ensembles. In addition to specific courses in the
field of music, the College offers private voice and instrumental
instruction.
The location of the College in the Twin City area provides opportunity
for students to gain a new appreciation of the fine arts. Community
concerts, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, the
St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and programs given by other colleges
including the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities
for cultural enrichment.
Drama
The drama program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is two-fold in its
purpose. It attempts to expose the student to the inner workings of the
College theatre, and it seeks to foster a sense of appreciation for

COSTS
19
COSTS
Student Costs 1983-84
The following explains the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs.
The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room
or fees at any time.
The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do
not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately
35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the
present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year.
Therefore, over and above all help given, each student receives the
equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total
expenses of the operation.
The College does not receive direct financial support from any
denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from
Lutheran Brotherhood and other corporations.
Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni,
parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the
College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged
and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make
our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these
many friends.

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

When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to
$2,500 per year from the Minnesota State Student Loan Program. First
year students are limited to $1,500 per loan, but may apply for a second
loan under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest
during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal
and 9% (APR) interest during the repayment period. These loans
are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office.
Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students: When necessary an application can be made for a Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS).
The parent can apply for up to $3,000 per academic year to be used for
educational expenses. The interest rate on this loan is 12% (APR) and
repayment must begin 60 days after disbursement, with terms to be
worked out with the lender. The Financial Aid Office has a list of private
institutions which are participating in this program. Our list, however, is
incomplete and parents are free to inquire at the lending institution of
their choice.
Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family
holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow
up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society
at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans.
Student Employment
College Work-Study Program - Golden Valley Lutheran College
participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's
eligibility depends on his or her financial need and individual skills.
Student Part-time Employment - The College offers a variety of
campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous parttime employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding
suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of
opportunities available.

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

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

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

3

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

Introducing Augsburg
Few liberal arts colleges combine t h e excitement and vitality of a
metropolitan center with t h e smallness and intimacy of the rural
setting. Augsburg is o n e of t h e few, very special Christian colleges
which can offer you both, as indicated in t h e Mission Statement
adopted by t h e Faculty and t h e Board of Regents in 1977.
Mission Statement
Augsburg is an accredited four-year liberal arts college of The American Lutheran
Church located in Minneapolis, at the center of the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
The coeducational student body of approximately 1500, while largely of Lutheran
orientation, includes students of diverse ages from a wide variety of religious,
cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
For over 100 years the college has emphasized intellectual freedom in the search
for knowledge in its disciplines, responsiveness t o the needs of society and the
world, and preparation of students for service and leadership in church and
society.
The mission of Augsburg College i s to educate students through a distinctive combination of commitment to the Christian faith, the liberal arts and excellence in
academic program.
Augsburg College is known for its people, who strive t o be a supportive, informal
and free community of learners involved with the metropolitan environment.
The academic program is primarily committed to providing students with a broad
background in a variety of subject areas as well as encouraging personal development. Excellence in the academic programs has characterized and is a continued goal of the college.
Augsburg College:
Challenges students with a portion of the knowledge and thought which has
been formative within human history and culture through a wide variety of ideas,
disciplines and selected professional and pre-professional programs;
Assists students in developing intellectual skills as well as in selecting a career;
Encourages within students the attitudes and skills necessary t o prepare them
to be learners throughout their lives.
Education at Augsburg is based on the belief that the world i s Cod's, entrusted to
us for care, exploration and understanding.
As a Christian community the college embraces a wide range of religious expression and participation. As part of its academic program Augsburg seeks t o give
all its students an informed understanding of the Christian faith and heritage as
well as an opportunity to encounter other segments of the world's religious heritage. In addition t o this intellectual task the aim of the college is t o help students
understand the Christian faith as relevant for their own experience and for participation in the commitment to the role of the Christian community in the modern
world.
Augsburg College seeks to act responsibly within the metropolitan community.
The quality of Augsburg's education is enriched by the people, culture and educational resources provided by its location. The college i s also aware that it has
a responsibility t o contribute t o the larger community. In doing this, the college
directs several of its programs specifically at the metropolitan setting, provides
areas of study not available elsewhere in the area, and offers itself as an educational resource for a variety of new student populations.
History - Fjord to Freeway
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
t o Minneapolis in 1872. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the
first college graduation was in 1879.
The school was officially named Augsburg College in 1963 when its former sponsor, the Lutheran Free Church, merged with The American Lutheran Church.
Augsburg Seminary joined with Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul that same
year. Continuing ties with this heritage are reflected in the College Center's Augsburg Room and in replication of the original sign for Old Main. From Fjord to
Freeway, a candid history of the College and its people during the first 100 years,
by Augsburg's Carl E. Chrislock, is available in the College Bookstore.
Location and Campus
Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding Murphy
Square, the first of 155 parks in the "City of Lakes." The University of Minnesota
West Bank campus and t w o of the city's largest hospitals, Fairview and St. Mary's,
are adjacent t o the campus. Downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul are minutes
west and east via Interstate 94 which forms the southern border of the campus,
or o n bus routes that also connect with the suburbs.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Airlines providing daily service t o MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport include American, Capitol, Continental, Delta, Eastern, Northwest Orient, Ozark, Republic, Trans World, United, USAir, and Western.
Bus or train connections can be made from all areas of the United States.
Policies
I t i s the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed,
national or ethnic origins, age, marital status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX
of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of

Financial Aid
The financing of post-secondary education may well be one of the more significant
investments that an individual or a family will make in an entire lifetime. Because
this is the case, proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in the
selection of an institution, but also in the methods utilized in paying the related
expenses. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial Services, is
committed to help provide students and their families with the needed assistance,
both monetary and advisory, that will protect access t o a quality education in
spite of increasing costs.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is a combination of scholarships,
grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with
Federal, State, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs.
For the academic year 1983-84 approximately 85% of all students at Augsburg
received scholarships, grants, loans and part-time employment totalling over
$5,800,000 from all aid sources.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and family resources.

current income, assets, number of dependents, other educational expenses, debts,
retirement needs, and special considerations.
< How and When to Apply
New Students - Regular Admission
1. Apply for admission t o Augsburg College. No financial aid notification is made

a high school or college financial aid office. Complete the application and send
it t o the processing agency after January 1 but before March 15 for priority consideration. Minnesota residents must complete the FFS which includes the application for the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. (To be considered,
use code 6500.) Augsburg's code on the FFS is 2080. For non-Minnesota residents
using the FAF, Augsburg's code is 6014.
3. Within three t o four weeks, Augsburg will receive the analysis. If at that time
you are accepted for admission, the Financial Aid Committee will meet and review
your eligibility for all the programs available. A letter will be sent to you detailing
your financial aid package.

If necessary, the appropriate loan forms and/or work applications will then be

calendar year income information is available. This is after January 1 but before

application and Family Financial Statement (FFS). Renewal is based on financial
eligibility, satisfactory academic progress, and fund availability.
Kinds of Aid

than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). The various forms of
aid available are listed here for information only.

in their own communities. It could be worthwhile to check with churches, the

and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students meeting
their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for
aid through Vocational Rehabilitation, Education Assistance for Veterans, Educational Assistance for Veterans' Children, and others.

college life, but learning and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether
you are a resident or commuter student, you will find the climate
for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to your
education.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual, as well as academic
and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth i s evident in the opportunities
we encourage and provide for students t o explore their own faith.
Since our campus i s comprised of individuals from many different religious and
cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, fellowship groups, Gospel teams, planning
committees, retreats, Peace and Justice forums, Hunger conferences, concerts,
plays and movies are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students,
faculty and staff gather each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday t o give thanks and
hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers. Each Wednesday night
students gather for Holy Communion.
We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged
t o gradually change and discover the gifts that God has given them. As a college
of the church, we encourage students to form their own values which will be the
basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond one's years at Augsburg.
The College Pastor has an office in the College Center to be readily available for
counseling, consulation or information on ways to get more involved in the campus ministry.
Student Government
Student government is the vehicle through which students can secure a closer
relationship and better understanding with the administration and faculty, and
provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student government
also sponsors and directs student activities, protects student rights, and provides
the means for discussions and action on all issues pertaining t o student life at
Augsburg.
Student government is organized into the executive branch, the legislative branch,
and the judicial branch. Elections are held in the spring, except for freshmen who
elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many kinds of involvement
are possible from program planning to writing or editing to service opportunities.
If you want to get involved, contact the President or Vice President of the student
society in their offices in the College Center.
Social, Cultural, Recreational
Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on
campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, special

The College Center is the focus of lesiure-time activity on campus. Offices for the
College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo, and the yearbook, the Augsburgian, are
on the lower level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom or non-classroom
related interests meet in the Center. KCMR, student-operated non-profit radio

Augsburg College is concerned with educating the whole person and recognizes
that the context in which learning takes place is a critical factor in achieving
optimal growth. Knowledge grows from more than intellectual endeavors. Expanding relationships, exploring values, identifying life styles, developing autonomy and interdependence, finding purpose and commitment - all combine with
intellectual content and skills to produce the desired educational impact of the
college on its students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been created to support this task. During the
summer before your freshman year, or at the time of transfer, you will receive a
copy of Augsburg Guide. This book will help you assess the possibilities in your

to complete a group of five psychology and sociology courses, including an internship. For further information, contact the Psychology or Sociology Department
Chairperson.
Women's Studies Certification - may be earned by completing six courses focusing on women's perspectives. Each individually planned program should include courses in the social sciences, humanities, or other academic areas focusing
on women. Interested students should contact the program chairperson.
Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan t o enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, the ministry,
veterinary science, pharmacy, or engineering can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg.
It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A
faculty adviser is available in each field t o assist students in their planning. Students
who want to plan a pre-professional program should contact the Associate Academic Dean early in their freshman year to arrange for help from the appropriate
faculty adviser.
Pre-Dentistry - These courses are recommended to fulfill the minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the University of Minnesota: ENG, 2 courses;
BIO 111, 112; PHY 121, 122; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351, 352; MAT 124;
PSY 105. Requirements at other universities may vary.
Pre-Engineering - This program provides a course of study which enables students to com~leteintroductorv core reauirements in mathematics. science and
the libe'ral art; necessary for e&ineerini Some students in the prigram choose
to transfer after two years to an institution granting degrees in engineering, while
others elect to participate in a dual-degree program. Augsburg College has cooperative arrangements with three universities to allow the student t o earn a
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from
either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis; Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science, St. Louis, Missouri;
or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. The dual-degree programs afford students the opportunity to combine a strong background in the
liberal arts, including an elected major, with the study of engineering.
Pre-Law - Students planning t o pursue a career in law should consult the handbook published by The Association of American Law Schools, and consult the
Augsburg pre-law adviser, Dr. Myles Stenshoel. Students may wish to take the
political science course, Law in the United States, t o help determine whether they
posess an interest in law. Since law schools encourage students t o maintain a
high grade point average, the pre-law student should be aware that many graduate
schools consider the grade P given for a course as a C.
Pre-Medicine - Many medical schools are encouraging a liberal arts education
to prepare for study in medicine. At Augsburg, the biology and chemistry departments have majors specially designed for premedical students. Both require
CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), MAT 124, 125; and PHY 121, 122. The Chemistry
major also requires CHM 353, 361, one advanced course, seminar, and two or
more biology courses. The Biology major also requires BIO 111, 112, 491 and
one from each of three groups (351, 353, 361), (355, 473, 474), (440, 471, 476),
with 353 and 355 especially recommended for medical school. Designed t o meet
the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis) requirements, both programs also encourage courses in the behavioral sciences and humanities, including psychology
and sociology. The University of Minnesota (Minneapolis) requires a year of English. Requirements at other medical schools may vary. Students are encouraged
to consult with the faculty adviser early in the freshman year.
Pre-Pharmacy - Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota: BIO 111, 112;
CHM 115,116,351,352; ECO 122; ENG 111 and a second course; MAT 124,125;
PHY 121, 122; electives from humanities, literature and the arts to fulfill the semester hour requirements. Requirements at other universities may vary.
Pre-Seminary - A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several
different majors, such as history, philosophy, English, psychology, sociology, or
religion. Recommended preparation includes REL 111,221; at least two semesters
of history (Western Civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy;
and Greek in the junior and/or senior year.

Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area
on several programs.
Augsburg's library works with a collection of education materials including approximately 160,000 books, periodicals, records, tapes, scores and films. Library
and Media Center - Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, and MINITEX, the statewide library network, the Augsburg community
has access to over 5,000,000 volumes.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities - Full-time students at Augsburg and the
St. Paul colleges of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine and St. Thomas may elect
a course each semester at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required
for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music and some independent studies. See Independent Study for further details. Students may elect t o
participate in the cooperative program t o gain new perspectives, t o get better
acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not
offered on the home campus. The colleges have coordinated calendars. The interim term may also be taken on another campus. A regularly scheduled bus
shuttles students between the campuses.
Augsburg College also cooperates with other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January interim.
Fairview Deaconess Hospital Affiliation - Students in the Fairview Deaconess
Hospital School of Nursing receive instruction in biology, chemistry and other
basic courses at Augsburg. Applications for admission should be made directly
to the hospital.
The Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) - This group is
composed of colleges and universitiesin Minnesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Planned activities include innovative curricular programs for students, interchange
and sharing of academic personnel and other college resources, cooperative research projects, foreign study, joint sponsorship of a metro-urban affairs conference, and development of programs consistent with the needs and resources of
the community organizations of the Upper Midwest.
Chemical Dependency Program -A cooperative effort between Augsburg College
and Minneapolis Community College in downtown Minneapolis has resulted in
the establishment of a four-year program in social work, sociology or psychology
with a chemical dependency specialty. The program is designed t o train specialists
to help professional people in dealing with chemical dependency problems.
Courses are taken both on the Augsburg and Metropolitan campuses.
Conservation of Human Resources (CHR) - These co-learning classes bring together Augsburg students, prison inmates, mental hospital patients, guards, and
students at rehabilitation centers. Classes are held at such places as the Shakopee
Institution for Women, Stillwater State Prison, Trevilla of Robbinsdale (a center
for the severely physically handicapped), or on the Augsburg campus. The classes
offered through several departments give students first-hand views of the prisons,
hospitals and rehabilitation centers. The response of students involved in the
courses, both from Augsburg and the institutions, has been extremely favorable.
Computer Programming - Augsburg and Control Data Institute have an arrangement whereby students may transfer the equivalent of three courses in computer
programming taken at CDI to Augsburg College.
Air Force ROTC - Augsburg students may participate in the Air Force ROTC
program at The College of St. Thomas under the ACTC consortium agreement.
Students are eligible to compete for 2- and 3-year AFROTC scholarships. For
more information, contact the Dean of the College.
Naval ROTC - Augsburg students may participate in the Naval ROTC program
at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. For more information, contact the Dean
of the College.
Opportunities for Study Abroad
Several types of internationalexperience are available to Awgsburg students. Some
of them are briefly described below. For application procedures and further information, request the special brochure on International Study at Augsburg from
the Director of International Programs. Since there is a limit on the number of
students who may study abroad each year it is wise t o apply in the fall prior to
the year one wishes t o participate in an international program. The deadline is
March 1 of the preceding year.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities Programs - Students may participate in
the ACTC program in Germany and Vienna, spending January and February in
intensive language study in Germany, and March through May in a regular semester program in Vienna, where a variety of course offerings is available.
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs - Augsburg students may take
part in the Scandinavian Urban Studies Term (Oslo), the South American Urban
Semester (Bogota), or the Literature Ideology, and Society in Latin America. All
are interdisciplinary and stress cross cultural comparison in development and
planning, including study tours to other nations in their respective regions.
lnterim - Study abroad during the interim is planned for each year. See listings
under the Augsburg lnterim Catalog and in the brochure on Interims Abroad
issued in spring for the following January. Augsburg is affiliated with the Upper
Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE).
International Business Program - Augsburg College International Business Program offers students the opportunity t o spend a year of study in London, Paris
(American College), Cairo (American University), or Heidelberg. A major concentration in international business requires Business Administration courses taken
at Augsburg and international core courses studied at one or two of the campuses
abroad. See Business Administration-International Business.
Program in Global Community - Augsburg's 3% month livingllearning program
based in Cuernavaca, Mexico, focuses on the study of issues related to global
justice and human liberation in the light of Christian proclamation. Includes intensive Spanish instruction, group trips, home stay with a family, and cultural
activities. The cost, including travel, is equivalent t o full room, board, and tuition
for one term at Augsburg. Application and interview required, enrollment limited.
Student Project for Amity Among Nations - Augsburg participates in the SPAN
program. This is a joint venture of the University of Minnesota and several colleges
in the state. Each year three or four countries are selected, and qualified students
are granted partial scholarships t o enable them t o spend a summer in informal
study in one of the countries chosen. Applications t o the program are made in
the spring of the freshman or sophomore year. The SPAN program consists of
three stages: language study and group meetings during the school year before
departure, independent study abroad o n a topic of one's choice during the following summer, and the writing of a paper upon return.
Semester or Year Abroad - Arrangements have been made under which Augsburg students may spend their sophomore or junior year in study at a number of
foreign educational institutions. Among them are the University of Oslo, Norway;
Schiller College in London and Heidelberg; the University of York, England; the
University of Dundee, Scotland; the University o
f Seville, Spain; and the Institute
for American Universities in Avignon, France.

The Honors Program at Augsburg provides opportunities for qualified students
to pursue an enriched and distinctive course of study. Special seminars, colloquia,
social events and options in completing the general education requirements are
all parts of the Honors Progmm. Inquiries should be addressed t o Dr. Diane Pike,
Honors Director.
Internships and Cooperative Education
I
I
These are college-wide programs that provide students in almost all fields of study
an opportunity to gain practical on-the-job experience that can be related to their
academic program or personal interests. Placements are available with a variety
of companies, agencies and community organizations. For further information,
contact Patricia Anne Parker, Associate Academic Dean, for internships, or Garry
W. Hesser, Director of Cooperative Education.
Augsburg Weekend College
Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative for adult students
who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a college degree, complete a second major, or pursue
a personal interest or skill.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and there are three trimester terms during the early September through June academic year. Students may
take from one to four classes each term.
While Augsburg Weekend College program involves the same courses as the day
school program, the curriculum is limited t o selected liberal arts courses and the
following majors: Business Administration (concentrations in management, marketing, finance, accounting, and management information systems), Communication (concentrations in public relations/advertising, human relations and supervisory management), Nursing, and Social Work.
Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers a number of courses,both credit and non-credit, through
its Continuing Education Program. Classes are generally in the evening. Since
continuing education courses are offered on a semester-hour basis, the courses
vary in length from four weeks to fourteen weeks. Students wishing to know more
about Augsburgs continuing education offerings should call or write the Office
of the Associate Dean.
Academic Policies and Procedures
Registration
A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it.
Students normally register for four courses a semester and one course in the
interim. Students registered for three or more courses in a semester are classified
as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 courses, students must contact
the Registrar's office t o petition the Committee on Student Standing for
permission.
Although a student may register up to two weeks after the semester begins, registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Special fees are charged
for late registration. Special fees also are charged for cancelling or adding courses
or changing grading option after the first five days of a semester.
A joint class schedule is published each Spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities, listing courses and their location at the five colleges for the following
semesters.
Separate catalogs of courses are published by the lnterim Office, Summer School
Office, and Weekend College Office for those sessions at Augsburg, listing registration times and procedures.
Specific information on registration and help with registration on another campus
are available from these offices:
Office of the Registrar - Science 114, for Fall and Spring terms
Interim Office - Memorial 230, for lnterim
Summer School Office - Memorial 230, for Summer School
Weekend College Office - Memorial 329, for Fall, Winter and Spring trimesters
of Weekend College.
Pre-Registration
Freshmen and transfer students may pre-register during summer for courses in
the fall. All currently enrolled students may pre-register during the fall for the
spring and during the spring for the fall. All students must confirm their registration
at the beginning of each semester and complete financial arrangements.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not t o abandon courses for which they are registered, since
this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellation of courses or
withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from
college cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved
by the Student Standing Committee. Withdrawal from college and resulting adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the completed Withdrawal from
College form is returned to the Registrar's Office.
Leave of Absence
Students may request a Leave of Absence for academic or personal reasons. A
request form must be picked up from the Office of the Dean of the College. It
must be signed by the Dean of Students, or authorized representative, and by
the Dean of the College, or authorized representative. The completed form must
be turned in to the Registrar's Office.

A Leave of Absence may be granted for one term or one academic year. If an
extension of a Leave of Absence is needed, it should be requested in the same
manner as the original Leave of Absence, and the completed form must be turned
in to the Registrar's Office before the expiration of the previous Leave of Absence,
or readmission will be required.
Students on leave are responsible for keeping the Registrar's Office informed of
their mailing address. All deadlines for financial aid and housing must be observed

Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations.
Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation also are
used.
Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 t o
0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better
and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0, Students are cautioned t o
use the PIN grade option with care since some graduate and professional schools
do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a
"C". See PIN limitations under Graduation Requirements.
Cemin courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 383 and several
interim courses are graded only on the PIN grading system. Some education
courses are graded only on the P/N system or only on the traditional system.
English 111 i s graded P or N, or 2.0-4.0/N. Some other courses are graded only
P, 1.0, N. Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports are graded P/O.O.
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional
system unless they indicate on their registration that they wFsh t o use the P/N
grading option. Any changes in choice or grading system must be made accarding
to dares published each term. A fee i s charged for any changes after the first five
days of classes.
Explanation of Grades
Number grades are used with these definitions:
4.0
3.5
3.0
2.5
2.0
1.5
1.0
0.5
0.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
Achieves above basic course standards
Meets basic standards for the course
Performance below basic course standards
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average.
A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents work at the
1.5 or below level.
An incomplete grade may be given only in the caw of extreme emergency. 60
receive it, a studerrt must file a petition with the Carnrnittee on Student Standing
stating the reasons for the request, the plan and date for removing it, and comments from the instructor. If permission i s granted, the incomplete must be removed during the following semester, or it becomes the grade submitted by the
teacher along with the incomplete.
A grade of X may be given for an independent or directed study course or internship that is to be spread over more than one semester. Such a course must
be completed during the second semester or the grade of X will remain on the
record. If X is given, the course must be registered for as 1X in the following term
in order that credit and a grade may be assigned.
A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, N, I, or X has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not
be repeated for credit, but may be audited. All courses taken remain on the
academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted
toward graduation and in the grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping
classes without a notation on the record.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering
for Audit 0.Full-time students may audit a course without charge. The charge
for part-time students is listed under College Costs. Students who audit a course
should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term
t o determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If expectations
have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited.
If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W
(Withdrawn).
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg.
It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the PIN grading option are recorded, but not computed
in the GPA.
Classification
Sophomores - 7 courses completed with at least 14 grade points.
Juniors - 16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points.
Seniors - 25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points.
Advanced Placement
Advanced placement in courses beyond the beginning level is granted to students
with scores of 3, 4, and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department. Inquiries should
be addressed t o the Office of the Registrar.
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL Program)
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life
situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within
the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The
APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by
which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from
another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible
credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, i s appropriate for credit recognition
at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is
relevant t o coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may
have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a
brief description of each of these means of assessment:
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of standardized tests
which have been developed by The College Board and are offered to students
for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area
is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile
on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg
College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of
the Registrar.
Departmental Comprehensive Exams are available for students t o use in obtaining
credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:
A. There is a departmental instrument available for subject area in question.
B. There is a faculty member designated by the department t o administer the
exam.
C. The Student Standing Committee approves the student's request t o take the
exam.
Credit for departmental exams is available on a pass/no credit basis only, and
there is a charge per exam.
The Credit Assessment Program (CAP) is a credit assessment alternative in which
a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted
by the student. The faculty committee is composed of the Registrar and two faculty
members from fields of study directly related t o the student's previous learning.
Informational meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish t o
prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include
a personal meeting with the CAP Committee. In completing the evaluation of a
student's prev?ouslearning, the CAP Committee applies the following criteria:
A. There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous
learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content
material found within liberal arts coursework.
B. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition t o the
presenting student.
C. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
D. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
E. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least
four courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg
GPA of at least 2.5. There is an application deposit (applicable to transcript charge)
to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit
applied t o the student's transcript.
Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of
courses applied t o graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course
number of CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward distribution requirements
and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response t o a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning - While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom,
this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal
arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine courses (one-fourth
of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous
experiential learning. In compiling the nine courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the three assessment
processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams, and
credit granted through CAP Committee assessment.
Probation and Dismissal
A student will be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term if his or
her achievement is unsatisfactory. A student who has been on probation two or
more consecutive semesters is subject to dismissal at the end of the term. Dismissal
from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on
Student Standing. A student who has a poor academic record may be strongly
advised t o withdraw before the end of the term. A student who has been on
probation for two terms and withdraws from the College voluntarily must have
special permission to re-enroll.
A student will be placed on probation under these conditions:
Freshman - below 1.6 cumulative GPA or 2 zero grades, having taken fewer
than 7 courses.
Sophomore - below 1.7 cumulative GPA or 3 zero courses, having taken 7 but
fewer than 16 courses.
Junior - below 1.9 cumulative GPA having taken 16 but fewer than 25 courses.
Senior - below 2.0 cumulative GPA having taken 25 or more courses.
A student will be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the
minimum levels above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for earning 2
zero grades will be removed from probation if their classification changes t o
sophomore, they have not earned additional zero grades, and their cumulative
GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for earning 3 zero
grades will be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior
and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9.
Dean's List
The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose grade
point average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of three full
courses, or equivalent, graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Each student on the Dean's List receives a
certificate and, if permission is given, an announcement is sent t o the hometown
newspaper.
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude 3.8 t o 4.0 cumulative GPA
Magna cum laude 3.6 up t o but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA
Cum laude 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA
To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed
two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg.
Independent/Directed Study
Many departments offer opportunities for conscientious students who demonstrate sufficient background and preparation in a given field to carry out upper
division level work on an independent basis. Some departments also offer an
opportunity for directed study on a lower division level. A student who registers
for directed or independent study should normally expect to complete it in one
semester but may extend it into the next term by permission of the instructor. In
such cases, a grade of X is given at the end of the first term, and the student will
register again for the course t o receive the final grade.
bruaenrs lnreresrea In reglsrerlng ror alrectea or rnaepenaent stuay must rlrst
secure permission from the faculty who will direct the study. A maximum of two
courses in Independent Study and/or Directed Study may count toward the 35
courses required for the degree.
Students may cross-register for independent studies at another ACTC school only
when the major field in which the independent study is proposed is not available
on th.eir home campus, and will be charged by the host campus for any special
costs attached. Requests for exception to this policy should be made directly to
their own academic dean.
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Training. Veterans should consult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans
Administration.
Veterans will be referred to the State Approving Agency after any period of two
consecutive terms in which they did not earn at least three courses per term, the
minimum for classification as full-time students. It is the responsibility of each
veteran to report any change in registration and/or academic load to the Office
of the Registrar, as it is for all students.
If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving Agency after
any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn the equivalent of what
they had been certified for.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's academic load for the term below
three courses will be reported to the Veteran's Administration. Veterans will need
to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of
educational assistance funds received.

The goal of the department is to have our students develop into better scientists.
Therefore, significant changes must occur in what they understand and know in
the field of chemistry, how they think and approach scientific problems, and how
they act in experimental work, in communicating their results, and in interacting
with others.
The department is on the list of approved schools of the American Chemical
Society, which has approved its total program. Students who complete the ACS
major are competitive with their peers of the same ability in graduate school,
chemical positions, or medical school. The approved program also meets the
requirements for the chemistry background required by many related fields.
The department provides opportunity for widening students' intellectual horizons,
for developing insight into a field of science for non-majors, and for learning in
an atmosphere which encourages students to remain lifelong learners.

Augsburg College has cooperative arrangements with three universities t o allow
the student to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and an
engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota lnstitute of Technology, Minneapolis; Washington University School of Engineering and Applied
Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or Michigan Technological University, Houghton,
Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg Engineering Adviser is necessary.
Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg
Engineering Adviser.
University of Minnesota - The lnstitute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative
arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs:
1. Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) which enables students t o
receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of
Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically
involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the lnstitute of Technology.
Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At
that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further
conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application
to the lnstitute of Technology may be completed during the second semester
of the junior year at Augsburg.
2. Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) which enables students to
receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of
Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves
four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the lnstitute of Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the B.A.1B.E. curriculum with the addition of
several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year
to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must
take at the University before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The
number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within
a department.
Application for admission into the B.A.1M.E. program should be initiated during
the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the
program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive
special counseling from the lnstitute of Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.1
M.E. program are not guaranteed admission t o the lnstitute of Technology.
Washington University - Three-Two Plan
Michigan Technological University - Dual Degree Plan
These programs enable students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Washington University School
of Engineering and Applied Science or Michigan Technological University in a
five-year period.
The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated
university. Students accepted into the program are guaranteed admission to the
engineering school, provided they have met course requirements, have a B average, and are recommended by the ~ n ~ i n e e rAdviser
in~
of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Washington University and Michigan Technological University. Further information on
these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg Engineering
Adviser.
Financial Aid: Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual
degree programs will be encouraged t o apply t o the engineering school of their
choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need
and academic performance as criteria.
Minimum Course Requirements for Admission to the Dual Degree or Three-Two
Programs: CHM 115,116; CSC 170; ENG 111; MAT 124,125,224,226; PHY 121,
122; additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 27
courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 124, 125 and PHY 121, 122 are taken in the
freshman year. Students interested in Chemical Engineering also should take CHM
351, 352.

one course in Western literary tradition (271 or 272); and three courses in British
literature, one on literature before 1660 (for example, 331 or 438) and one that
surveys a number of writers (336, 337,423). Majors are encouraged t o take ENG
245 early in their college work and to consult their departmental adviser regularly.
A student with a double major or special program that involves considerable work
in the English department should also work closely with an adviser in the
department.
Major for Secondary Teaching Licensure in English-Language Arts: 10 courses, including those listed for the major and a course in the English language; 2 Speech
courses, one from 111, 351, 352, 354 or 355 and either 360 or 366. Courses in

Note on Concentration: In addition to meeting requirements for the major, English
majors may, if they wish, develop an area of emphasis, such as British concentration, American concentration, world literature concentration, or writing concentration. A student arranges a concentration by careful selection of electives
in the major, by the design of an independent study course that applies to the
concentration, and by the selection of some related courses outside the department. English majors should work closely with their advisers in developing a
concentration. Interim courses, special courses, and courses at other ACTC
schools will often fit well into a concentration.

The Humanities major provides the opportunity t o reflect across departmental
lines, t o experience the ways in which different academic disciplines approach
similar questions and issues, and t o participate in interdisciplinary learning experiences. You can, in effect, create your own major by choosing a theme or
topic you wish to study, and then by taking courses in various departments relating
t o that theme.
The major was created especially t o encourage students not majoring in the humanities but in such areas as science, business, or social science to broaden their
insights and perspectives by taking a broadly-based second major.
Major: 9 courses, including 275. Six of the courses must be upper division.
Courses must be selected from at least four of these seven departments - Art,
English, Foreign Languages, History, Philosophy, Religion, and Speech, Communication and Theater Arts. No more than three courses from any one department can be used t o satisfy the requirement.
Each student taking a humanities major will focus on some particular theme or
perspective which will constitute the core of the major program. Six of the nine
courses must be taken in this core. The core adopted and the courses chosen to
meet the requirement will be worked out with the student's adviser in the humanities, and must be approved by the Humanities Major Committee. The theme
or perspective of the core can be chosen from those listed in the Humanities
Handbook or can be created by the student in consultation with an adviser in
the humanities. Further information concerning the core can be found in the
Humanities Handbook.
A student may not list a double major in humanities and in one of the component
disciplines unless the distribution of courses selected in the humanities major is
significantly different from the other major.
275 Perspectives on the Humanities
An introductionto the humanities which focuses on different themes, depending upon
the instructor. The course correlates ideas, principles and values from the perspectives
of several of the humanities disciplines.

and Minority Studies)
International Relations
Norma C. Noonan (Director)
lnternational Relations is an interdisciplinary major which offers the student both
breadth and depth. The student may focus on a discipline or geographic area of
the world. The program consists of a core of seven courses and seven electives
chosen from a wide list of courses offered at Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged t o consider foreign study for Interim or a semester. Competency in one language is required, but many students study two languages.
The goal of the program is t o give students a broad exposure t o international
studies with considerable freedom t o choose options for specialization. Students
In the recent past have focused their studies o n Latin America, the Middle East,
Western Europe, the USSR, the Far East, Southeast Asia, and others.

110 lntrodudion to Philosophy: Ideas and Method
Though each person has his or her own set of ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been
critically analyzed or evaluated for their consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason
for this is that individuats jack the needed skills. Another is that they may have had
little opportunity to examine critically some of the ideas basic to wedern culture. The
purposes of this course are to provide the student with some experience in examining
ideas, and thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to evaluate and
construct a system of ideas and beliefs.
120 Ethics
Sometimes you say that a certain action is right or condemn it a5 wrong. Why do you
think it is right? Because p u like it? Are there better reasons for thinking something
right or wrong? This course takes a long, hard look at possible grounds for making
moral decisions, and at the moral judgments about personal and social issues resulting
from them.
130 Logic
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then says you must accept a particular conclusion. Must you? When does a conclusion validly follow from premises? Here we
examine the rules which govern valid arguments and work to develop your ability to
recognize and construct sound arguments.

following:
A. The major program should include at least two-thirds of the courses required
in the normal major programs of two major fields offered at the college;
B. The student should design and sign a contract for such a major prior to the
