WELCOME TO THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE
NURSING DEPARTMENT
We are proud of the opportunities, the diversity of experiences and the breadth of
transcultural nursing knowledge you will encounter in the Master of Arts in Nursing
program at Augsburg College. You will find faculty and staff available and eager to
assist you in expanding your nursing practice and advancing your career while we
explore together our understanding of what it means to live and practice nursing in a
global society.
Students entering the Master of Arts in Nursing come from diverse cultural,
educational, and experiential backgrounds. While some master's degree candidates
enter directly from college, others are making mid-life career changes, and some are
returning to college after raising a family. The career options in nursing are more
variable and more rewarding than ever before.
As our population ages and becomes increasingly diverse, nurses are challenged to respond with creativity and
competence. The master's program prepares nurses for leadership across care settings, population groups, cultures,
and care systems, with particular emphasis on addressing global and local health inequities. Graduates of our
master's program are practicing in acute care, community and public health, nursing education, nursing
administration, and in emerging care settings that are responsive to the needs of culturally diverse and underserved
populations. Many of our graduates have created innovative practice and educational models that demonstrate
interdisciplinary leadership and economically feasible solutions to health inequities within communities.
Our curriculum invites persons into one of two tracks of study: Transcultural Nursing in Community or
Transformational Nursing Leadership and Management. Both tracks encourage students to apply for advanced
nursing certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the Transcultural Nursing
Society (TCNS). Students certified in Advanced Community Health Nursing are eligible to apply for Clinical Nurse
Specialist (CNS) status through the Minnesota Board of Nursing. Courses are offered at the Augsburg campuses in
Minneapolis and Rochester, Minnesota, and the program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education (CCNE).
With its emphasis on nursing science and the liberal arts, the Master of Arts in Nursing fosters the development of
values and skills essential for transcultural nursing leadership in contemporary society. Faculty and staff at
Augsburg are receptive and committed to our students and to an educational process that equips you to transform
your unique gifts and interests into personal and professional service in the world.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Leuning, Ph.D.
Professor and Chair
Department of Nursing
The Transcultural Nursing in Community track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare nurses for
advanced population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public
health principles, themy-guided practice, and transcultural care. The program of study focuses on reaching populations that are
underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the program provides rich
alternative teaching and learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally This program prepares nurses to
apply for certification in Transcultural Nursing through the International Transcultural Nursing Society Also, graduates of this
track of the masters program will be eligible to apply to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) certification
exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing.
Students will take a total of 10 courses, plus a thesis or graduate project. Three courses form the Advanced Nursing Core,
which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, and five additional courses make up the Transcultural Nursing in
Community Track.

Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts
in Nursing final project, which serves as the capstone of
the master's program: a graduate field project, or an
integrative master's thesis.
The Graduate Field Project, NUR 525, is based on a selfselected issue relevant to transcultural community health
nursing, or nursing leadership. The student will focus
primarily on the application and integration of knowledge.
Working with an adviser, the student will design and/or
implement and evaluate a model of advanced practice
nursing applied to solving a transcultural problem related
to health inequities in a selected community, or a nursing
leadership issue.
The integrative thesis option, NUR 535, expands upon
and/or extends theoretical foundations or concepts
identified in transcultural nursing, community health
nursing, and/or nursing leadership literature. The thesis
project demonstrates the student's ability to do
independent research involving the exposition of
primary and secondary literature appropriate to the
topic, the collection and analysis of empirical data, and
the articulation of implications for advanced practice
nursing.
Students register for their final project, with their
adviser's permission, near the end of the program.
Students must complete all coursework and defend the
project within one year after registration. After one year,
students must pay a continuation fee of $350 per term
in order to retain student status in the graduate
program, including library privileges, AugNet access,
and parking privileges.
Please refer to the "Graduate Field Project or Integrative
Thesis Procedures and Policies" booklet available in the Nursing Department for additional information.

Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students who complete the
Transcultural Nursing in Community track will have enough practice hours to be eligible to apply to take the certification
exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Practice experience
with diverse populations will also provide students with the options to apply to take the certification exam in Transcultural
Nursing. In this track students practice in nontraditional settings with persons underserved or excluded from mainstream
health care. This practice emphasizes cultural diversity and health inequities across health care settings. Students in the
Transformational Leadership and Management track will have practice experience in several courses with preceptors in
leadership positions in a variety of care settings.
A unique opportunity offered for practica at Augsburg is provided by the Augsburg Central Nursing Center. The Nursing
Center provides services for persons struggling with poverty and homelessness in the city of Minneapolis. People from
diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide-ranging cultural contexts, provide many opportunities
for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice.
STUDY ABROAD
OPPORTUNITIES
The Nursing Department works closely with Augsburg's Center for Global Education in developing study abroad
opportunities. Currently, four study abroad opportunities exist for student practicum experience.
Annually, students may travel to Namibia in southwest
Africa to spend three weeks exploring health and health
care challenges within a rapidly developing country:
Practical experience with nurses in a variety of care settings,
meaningful dialogue with key resource persons, and critical
reflection foster personal and professional growth.
There are also week-long practica experiences on the Pine
Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. In this
experience, students live on the reservation and participate
with public health nurses providing health services.
Students also interact with tribal leaders and experience
cultural events relevant to the Lakota people of Pine Ridge.
Week-long experiences are available in Mexico and
Guatemala on alternating years. Students explore the
relationships of indigenous and Western health care, the
connection between social justice and health, and interact
with local indigenous healers.
Students may apply these study abroad experiences to the
practicum requirements for a variety of courses, including
the thesis and graduate field project.

NUR 500
Transcultural Health Care
NUR 510
Advanced Community Health Nursing I
This course explores meanings and expressions of health,
illness, caring, and healing transculturally. Focus is on
understanding and developing professional competence in
caring for individuals, families, groups, and communities
with diverse cultural backgrounds. Culture is examined as a
pervasive, determining "blueprint" for thought and action
throughout the human health experience. Patterns of
human interaction that foster health and quality of life are
analyzed, and health destroying patterns of interaction, e.g.,
stereotyping, discrimination, and marginalization, are
examined and submitted to moral and ethical reflection.
(36 hours of practice experience)
This course focuses on persons, families and groups living
in relationship. Emphasis is on applying the core functions
of community/public health - assessment, policy
development and assurance. Principles of epidemiology,
population demographics, and culture care are integrated
into community-focused health care delivery models.
Power structures within dominant social systems are
analyzed and critiqued with regard to resource access and
distribution among underserved populations. (72 hours of
practice experience)
NUR 503
Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life Cycle
The major curriculum concepts of individuals, health,
nursing, and society are developed further in this course as
the function of individuals living in families and in
communities is explored. Content about systems,
communication, small group, and nursing theories,
introduced earlier, is applied to family constellation. The
influence of the multigenerational family is examined in
terms of culture, belief system, roles, and healthcare
patterns, values, and goals. Specific concepts related to
values and culture are expanded and applied to the more
complex social structures of traditional and nontraditional
families as they interact in and with society.
NUR 505
Theoretical Foundations for Advanced Nursing Practice
This course focuses on nursing science and nursing theory
as foundational to advanced transcultural nursing practice.
Philosophical underpinnings of different theoretical and
research traditions in nursing are compared and related to
the provision of culturally competent care in diverse
communities. Nursing science is emphasized as a process of
theory advancement and as an accumulating body of
nursing knowledge. (36 hours of practice experience)
-
NUR 511
Advanced Community Health Nursing II
Emphasis is on the application of publidcommunity health
theory and research in providing health care to populations
and communities. Essential public health services are
assessed for adequacy in meeting community health needs
and addressing health goals. The impact of diversity,
privilege, resource limits, and globalization add depth and
reality to local and global community health concerns,
patterns of health, suffering, and health care provisioning.
Prerequisite: NUR 510. (72 hours of practice experience)
NUR 515
Managing Nursing Effectiveness within Care Systems
In planning and implementing nursing activities, healthcare organizations are considered subcultures of society,
which entail particular issues of access and utilization for
marginalized people. Strategies for negotiating structures of
privilege and professional control will be explored.
Working with marginalized populations, students will
identify and support the agency or persons who are seeking
help from these systems. Nursing action will focus on
mediating subcultures of clients with the subculture of
healthcare systems. Major emphasis will be placed on
mutuality with clients in planning actions and evaluating
outcomes. (72 hours of practice experience)
NUR 520
Research Methods in Nursing
Through a combination of literature review, field
experience, and class discussion, research methods relevant
to the exploration of culture and health will be examined.
Class topics will include formulating study questions to
explore collective foundations of meaning and explanation
in health and illness, practice in data collection procedures
of field research, and issues of interpretation and analysis in
qualitative research. (pre-requisite: a college-level statistics
course)
and dialogue, which includes professional experience of
practice contexts, as well as theoretical and research
literature, students will formulate a transcultural nursing
model of care. (72 hours of practice experience)
NUR 525
Graduate Field Project
This course focuses on the application and integration of
knowledge to a student-selected issue or topic of concern
relevant to transcultural nursing, community health
nursing, and/or transformational nursing leadership.
Working with a nursing faculty adviser, students design
and/or implement and evaluate a theory-based model of
advanced practice nursing. Relevant coursework is
integrated into the project and the final written report.
Plans for disseminating the report for public and
professional use are encouraged . Students will defend the
project to their graduate committee (major faculty adviser
and two readers) and invited guests at the time of
completion.
NUR 521
Transformative Nursing Leadership
This course emphasizes transformational nursing leadership
and management in partnership with diverse groups.
Transcultural competence is lifted up as significant to the
evolving leadership and planning skills needed in emerging
care systems. Opportunities for students to engage in
designing relevant models of care delivery are woven into
clinical practica. (72 hours of practice experience)
NUR 523
Theory, Research, and Practice Seminar
Through a combination of literature review and class
discussion, conceptual models of nursing will be critiqued
for their effectiveness, their relevance, and their
substantiation. The conceptualization, investigation, and
application of nursing knowledge will be critiqued with
particular focus on the contribution to developing practice
in transcultural community health care. Through reflection
-
NUR 530
The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Transformation
In this course, the student will explore ritual and ceremony
from a transcultural perspective. Attention will be focused
on rituals and ceremonies in specific cultures and religions,

its own rituals. In some cultures, formal or informal

WELCOME TO THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE
MASTER OF ARTS IN
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Dear Friend:
Welcome to the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program's catalog. Launched
in 1987, the program has been a vital part of the Augsburg College curriculum
ever since.
The MAL program offers students an excellent opportunity to explore leadership
within the context of the liberal arts. The program design broadens the skills and
mindset you need to improve your leadership capabilities in your current and
future positions, as well as in your life.
The MAL program is taught by senior Augsburg faculty from a variety of
disciplines. The faculty are committed to an interdisciplinary approach to leadership studies. Our students
represent a wide array of occupations including business, health care, and the non-profit sector. This diverse
learning community provides a rich environment for you to explore leadership beyond your own realm of
expertise.
Our program will help you develop skills you need to be an effective leader in an ever-changing world. I am
frequently told by students that the program has changed their lives, has sharpened their understanding of
themselves and others, and has opened doors that would otherwise have remained closed. To learn even more
about the program, please visit our Web site at <www.augsburg.edu/mal>.
I would be happy to help you determine how Augsburg's Master of Arts in Leadership program may benefit
you. You may contact me via e-mail at <noonan@augsburg.edu> or by telephone at 612-330-1198. I look
forward to seeing you on campus soon!
Cordially,
Norma C. Noonan, Ph.D.
Director, M.A. in Leadership Program
-
The Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) is the core program of Augsburg's Center for Leadership Studies (CLS).
The MAL program, which was launched in 1987, responds Lo the leadership development needs of both for-profit
and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the
following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an
understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems
organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to
motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent
the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may
discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership.
Leadership studies is a growing field in American higher education, and the MAL program has significantly
developed and modified its curriculum in response to new trends in the field . The program has a deep theoretical
base in leadership studies yet attempts also to offer its students practical approaches to leadership that can be
applied in the workplace and society.
ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that
the students who enroll are career-oriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals seeking a balance of
classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the
opportunity for discussion and dialogue. During the academic year, classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four
hours. A few courses are taught by the immersion model, which has fewer sessions but longer meeting times. Most
courses incorporate some online work into their agenda. MAL students may take up to seven courses during the
calendar year; with that schedule it is possible to complete the degree within two years.
COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS
Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered on the Augsburg
campus. This community is enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate
community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs, and
Christensen Center. The Center for Leadership Studies also offers special colloquia and seminars each year to
supplement and complement the course work of the master's program.
A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM
PERIOD I
Saturday
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon
PERIOD II
Saturday
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II, an average of two meetings a month. A
Jew courses are taught on an immersion model which features fewer but longer sessions.
Augsburg College has two summer sessions. The MAL program usually offers at least two classes during the
summer; the courses are five weeks in duration, meeting normally two nights a week, except for special immersion
courses.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that
1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources , 2) promotes productivity within and
beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this ,
individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to
persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are abilities and awareness, outlined in the
Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual.

Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to
four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course normally includes two or more liberal arts disciplines,
encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult
learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity.
These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative
abilities.
FINAL PROJECT OPTIONS
There are three ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/LAP) Option
(Plan A), students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis
Option (Plan B), students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. For the third option, the
Comprehensive Exam Seminar (Plan C), students complete 11 credits, including the comprehensive exam seminar.
PLAN A: THESIS/LAP OPTION
Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities.
The principal distinction between the thesis and the leadership application project lies in their underlying
orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while a leadership application project is based on practical
application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592
and 593 .
For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP and Non-Thesis Project Guidelines
booklet. Students who do not complete their thesis or leadership application project within two years are required to
pay a continuation fee each trimester.
PLAN B: NON-THESIS OPTION
One alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers. The first of these papers will be written
in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent
Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual colloquium.
For more information regarding the Non-Thesis Option, refer to the Thesis/LAP Project&: Non-Thesis Project
Guidelines booklet. Students who do not complete their independent project within a year of registering for ML 597 are
required to pay a continuation fee each trimester.
PLAN C: COMPREHENSIVE EXAM SEMINAR
The third completion option involves one paper written in conjunction with ML 580 (as in Plan B) and a
Comprehensive Exam Seminar (ML 589). This course must be taken as the last course in the program or in
conjunction with another course during the last term. This course is taken on a pass/fail basis, and when the course
and the oral, written, and take-home examinations are successfully completed, the program requirements will be
satisfied.

The Augsburg College MAL Program Office encourages qualified applicants from other countries. The term
"international student" as used here refers exclusively to those students seeking to study at Augsburg in F-1
nonimmigrant status. Questions pertaining to program eligibility for other immigration categories will be directed to
the appropriate college personnel for a response.
International applicants should keep in mind that classes meet on alternate Saturdays and that students may take only
two classes per trimester plus one in the summer for a yearly total of seven classes. With this schedule, students can
complete the required course work in less than two years.
See Admission Requirements for a description of the admission process and selection criteria. Application materials
required for international students are:
• Completed application form
• $35.00 application fee (non-refundable) payable in U.S. dollars
• A 1-3 page statement relating the applicant's career and life goals to leadership aspirations
• Completed Certification of Finances and supporting documentation which reliably demonstrate that the student has
financial resources adequate to meet expenses while studying at Augsburg
• Letter of recommendation in English from an immediate supervisor assessing leadership potential
• Letter of recommendation in English from a work colleague (at the same level) describing the applicant's work style
and potential as a leader
• Official mark-sheets with certified translations from all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended listing all
courses taken, marks earned, dates attended, and degree(s) or diploma(s) conferred, if any
• Official results on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 600 (paper) or 250
(computer). TOEFL iBT (Internet-based test) minimum scores were not yet available at the time of this catalog's
publication. Please contact the MAL admissions counselor for updated information.
Participants may be asked to participate in a phone or
in-person interview with graduate faculty or staff.
Note: All F-1 international students and their
dependents are required to have adequate health
insurance coverage for the duration of their program.
Students will be enrolled in the College-recommended
plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of
coverage through an alternative provider for the same
period.
EVALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be
based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below.
Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in
the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis.
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a
grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will
count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of
or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the
second time are counted in the grade point average.
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0
Achieves the minimum passing standard
1.5
1.0
0.5
0.0
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average)
N
Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and not computed in grade point average)
W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
Performance below basic course standards
Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the Office of the Registrar
stating reasons for the request and the plan and date for removing the incomplete grade. The signature of the
instructor and any other necessary
documentation must be included.)
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed,
and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is
highly important and should be considered a
responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's
classmates and course instructor.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND
DISMISSAL POLICIES
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point
average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the
student will be placed on probation for the following
term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to be removed from
probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a
course, the student must petition successfully with the
MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to
continue in the program. A plan for the student to
follow would be outlined at that time. If a second
grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may be
dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the
MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to
the program, such as a gross violation of College policy
(as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would
occur only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the courses in the
MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken
elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in
the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program
director for approval of any variation in the curriculum
including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be
evaluated on an individual basis. Approved transfer
courses will appear on the student's Augsburg transcript
but will not be counted in the cumulative grade point
average. Semester and quarter credits will be
appropriately converted to Augsburg course credits.
The only courses that will be considered for transfer
credit are those earned from accredited colleges and
universities, whose course content is comparable to
those in the MAL program. No more than two courses
will be accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather
than semester or quarter hours. Each full-credit
graduate course in the MAL program is the equivalent
of four semester credits or six quarter credits. Students
meet a total of 28 hours per course and are responsible
for a significant amount of individual study and
preparation.
MAL PROGRAM ENROLLMENT POLICY
Students may take either one or two courses per
trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester
enables a student to complete the coursework in the
program within two years. All students are required to
complete all components of the program within five
years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered
on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students who leave the program for more
than one trimester must request a leave of absence in
writing from the MAL program. A leave of absence may
be granted for one calendar year. Students who return
to the program after a leave of one year or more must
fill out an Application for Readmission form and turn
it into the Office of the Registrar. Time spent on an
official MAL-approved leave of absence will not count
toward the five-year deadline for degree completion.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS
MAL follows the Weekend College schedule for the last
date each term on which students may withdraw from
a class and receive a "W" on their records. Please refer
to <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/calendars/weekend!> for
up-to-date information.
STUDENT RIGHTS
The College has adopted a statement of student rights
and responsibilities and has provided for due process
in the matter of disciplinary action , grievances, and
grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg College
Catalog and the Student Guide. Students have a right to experience
education without discrimination.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as
amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education
records . Augsburg's policy is published in the Augsburg College Catalog
and in the Student Guide.
Augsburg College understands that no information other than
"directory information" can be released without the written
permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing
for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This
means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless
explicit written permission is given by the student to release non"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS
Students who successfully complete Augsburg's leadership program will receive a Master of Arts degree. Augsburg is
accredited by The Higher Leaming Commission, North Central Association* and is a member of the Associated Colleges of
the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America, and the Minnesota Private College Council.
Augsburg College is registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Services Office. Registration is not an endorsement of
the institution. Registration does not mean that credits earned at the institution can be transfened to other institutions or
that the quality of the educational programs would meet the standards of every student, educational institution, or
employer.

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

adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one
basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition
refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned.
Be sure you understand the financial consequences of
making adjustments to your registration.]
Students are responsible for canceling courses through
the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop
attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are
responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be
adjusted based on the student's last recorded date of
attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date
that the drop/add form is processed.
The refund schedule is effective whether or not a
student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will
be applied to the student account and all adjustments
for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before
eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit
balance is determined. Please allow two weeks for a
refund.
The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged,
not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition,
e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement
payment plan.
For information about refunds and the refund
schedule, visit <www.augsburg.edu/enrolb.
Financial assistance is available to degree-seeking
students enrolled in the MAL program. Non-degreeseeking students are not eligible for any type of
financial aid through Augsburg College. Two full-credit
courses per trimester are considered full time. One
course is considered half-time enrollment. The
Enrollment Center (612-330-1046, or 1-800-458-1721,
or <www.augsburg.edu/enrolb) assists students in
assessing financial aid eligibility and offers financial aid
from available alternatives, including the following:
SPONSORED SCHOLARSHIPS
Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for
special scholarships. The availability of such
scholarships may enable the participation of
individuals of limited financial means as well as
individuals working for volunteer agencies and other
organizations not likely to provide tuition
reimbursement
COMPANY TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Many companies, agencies, and corporations offer full
or partial tuition assistance to employees who
participate in work-related or degree-related college
programs. Augsburg College offers a payment plan by
which employees may handle tuition reimbursement.
Students should contact the Enrollment Center to
make payment arrangements using the company
reimbursement payment plan.
TRIBAL AND STATE INDIAN SCHOLARSHIPS
American Indian students who meet federal, state, or
tribal requirements may apply for these scholarships.
Indian grants generally supplement other sources of
financial aid. For assistance in application, contact
Augsburg's American Indian Student Services Program
director at 612-330-1144 or your tribal agency.

IN LEADERSHIP
INTRODUCTION
The primary mission of the Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) at Augsburg
College is to develop leaders for organizations and the community. The core
program of the center is the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL). The
program, which was launched in 1987, responds to the leadership
development needs of both profit and not-for-profit organizations. While
different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the
following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible,
extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change
occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex
problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent
with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals
and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively
represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program
provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and
other abilities fundamental to effective leadership.
ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL
program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are careeroriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals, seeking a balance
of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most
courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and
dialogue. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours.
COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS
Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of
learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. This community is
enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To
facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the
Augsburg library, computer labs , and Christensen Center. The Center for
Leadership Studies also offers some special colloquia and seminars each year
to supplement and complement the course work of the master's program.
A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM
PERIOD I
Saturday
8:00 a.m . to 12:00 noon
PERIOD II
Saturday
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II;
on average two meetings a month.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that
1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and
beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this,
individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to
persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are a broad range of abilities and awareness,
outlined in the Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's
model of leadership development is designed to assess , promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the
individual.

There are two ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/ LAP) Option,
students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option,
students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis.
Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to
four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages
pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners.
Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These
techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative
abilities.
THESIS/LAP OPTION
Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities.
The principal distinction between the thesis and the Leadership Application Project lies in their underlying
orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project is based on practical
application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592,
593, and 594. Differences between these two options will be explored in ML 514 Research Methods and in ML 593
Leadership Research Seminar I.
For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP option, refer to the Information and Guidelines for the Thesis and
Leadership Application Project booklet.
Students who do not complete their thesis or Leadership Application Project while enrolled in ML 594 Leadership
Research Seminar II are required to pay a continuation fee.
-
NON-THESIS OPTION
An alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers, as described below. The first of these
papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual
colloquium. Students who do not complete their independent project while enrolled in ML 597 are required to pay a
continuation fee.
For more information regarding the Non-Thesis option, refer
Project booklet.

EVALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will
be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined
below.
Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in
the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis.
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a
grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will
count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of
or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the
second time are counted in the grade point average.
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0
1.5
Achieves the minimum passing standard
1.0
Performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average)
N
Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and non-punitive-not computed in grade point average)
W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the MAL Program Office
stating reasons for the request, the plan
and date for removing the incomplete
grade, the signature of the instructor, and
any other necessary documentation.)
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed
and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is
highly important and should be considered a
responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's
classmates and course instructor.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND
DISMISSAL POLICIES
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point
average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the
student will be placed on probation for the following
term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to be removed from
probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a
course, the student must petition successfully with the
MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to
continue in the program. A plan for the student to
follow would be outlined at that time. If a second
grade of N or 0.0 is received , the student may be
dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the
MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to
the program, such as a gross violation of college policy
(as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would
occur only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Due to the interdisciplinaiy nature of the courses in the
MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken
elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in
the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program
director for approval of any variation in the curriculum
including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be
evaluated on an individual basis.
The only courses that will be considered for transfer
credit are those earned from accredited colleges and
universities, whose course content is comparable to
those in the MAL program. No more than two courses
will be accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Each full-credit graduate course in the MAL program is
the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter
credits. Students meet in class a total of 28 hours and
are responsible for a significant amount of individual
study and preparation.
ENROLLMENT POLICY/ LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Students may take either one or two courses per
trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester
enables a student to complete the coursework in the
program within two years. All students are required to
complete all components of the program within five
years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered
on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students who leave the program for more
than one trimester must request a leave of absence in
writing from the MAL program. A leave of absence may
be granted for one calendar year. Time spent on an
official leave of absence will not count toward the fiveyear deadline for degree completion.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS
The last date on which students may withdraw from a
class and receive a "W" on their records is published
annually in the MAL Supplement.
STUDENT RIGTHS
The College has adopted a statement of student rights
and responsibilities and has provided for due process
in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and
grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg College
-
Catalog and the Student Guide. Students have a right to experience
education without discrimination.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as
amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education
records. Each year Augsburg is required to give notice on the various
rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg's
policy is published in the Augsburg College Catalog and in the
Studertt Guide distributed to students.
Augsburg College understands that no information other than
"directory information" can be released without the written
permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing
for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This
means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless
explicit written permission is given by the student to release non"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
Complete information about Augsburg's procedures with regard to
FERPA are available from the registrar's office.
ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS
Students who successfully complete Augsburg's leadership program will receive a Master of Arts degree. Augsburg is
accredited by The Higher Leaming Commission, North Central Association* and is a member of the Associated Colleges of
the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America, and the Minnesota Private College Council.
Augsburg College is registered with the
Minnesota Higher Education Services
Office. Registration is not an endorsement
of the institution. Registration does not
mean that credits earned at the institution
can be transferred to other institutions or
that the quality of the educational
programs would meet the standards of
every student, educational institution or
employer.

current according to established repayment schedules.
REFUND SCHEDULE
Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be
eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based
on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the
minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative
costs) . Financial aid may also be adjusted for those
students who withdraw from the College or drop one
or more courses and receive financial assistance.
[NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid
adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one
basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition
refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned.
Be sure you understand the financial consequences of
making adjustments to your registration.]
Students are responsible for canceling courses through
the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop
attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are
responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be
adjusted based on the student's last recorded date of
attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date
that the drop/add form is processed.
The refund schedule is effective whether or not a
student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will
be applied to the student account and all adjustments
for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before
eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit
balance is determined. Please allow two weeks for
a refund.
-
The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged,
not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition,
e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement
payment plan.
For information about refunds and the refund
schedule, see the Payment Information Booklet or visit
<www.augsburg.edu/enroll ..
A per-course tuition refund will be made on the
following basis:
I Through the first scheduled class meeting - 100% of
tuition (less a $100 administration fee if
withdrawing from current term entirely).
I Prior to the second scheduled class meeting - 80% of
tuition.
I Prior to the third scheduled class meeting - 60% of
tuition.
I Prior to the fourth scheduled class meeting - 40% of
tuition.
I No refund after the fourth scheduled class meeting.
Financial assistance is available to degree-seeking
students enrolled in the MAL program. Non-degreeseeking students are not eligible for any type of
financial aid through Augsburg College. Two full-credit
courses per trimester are considered full time. One
course is considered half-time enrollment. The
Enrollment Center, 612-330-1046, or 1-800-458-1721,
or <www.augsburg.edu/enrolb, assists students in
assessing financial aid eligibility and offers financial aid
from available alternatives, including the following:
SPONSORED SCHOLARSHIPS
Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for
special scholarships. The availability of such
scholarships may enable the participation of
individuals of limited financial means as well as
individuals working for volunteer agencies and other
organizations not likely to provide tuition
reimbursement.
COMPANY TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Many companies, agencies, and corporations offer full
or partial tuition assistance to employees who
participate in work-related or degree-related college
programs. Augsburg College offers a payment plan by
which employees may handle tuition reimbursement.
Students should contact the Enrollment Center to
make payment arrangements using the company
reimbursement payment plan.

STATE INDIAN SCHOLARSHIPS
American Indian students who meet federal, state, or
tribal requirements may apply for these scholarships.

ABOUT AUGSBURG
HISTORY
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian
Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530.
Augsburg opened in September 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Minneapolis in 1872.
CAMPUS LOCATION
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
one of the city's largest medical complexes-Fairview
University Medical Center-are adjacent to Augsburg, with the
Mississippi River and the Seven Corners theatre district just a
few blocks away.
ACCESSIBILITY
Augsburg College has made a major effort to become one of the
most accessible campuses in the region. Skyways, tunnels, and
elevators provide accessible connections among major
buildings-student housing towers, the Christensen Center,
main academic and administrative halls, the library, and the
music building. In addition, there are programs for students
with learning, physical, and psychiatric disabilities.
CHURCH AFFILIATION
Augsburg is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in America. It has a diverse community with many strong
religious traditions represented among the students, faculty,
and staff, including Lutheran, Protestant, Roman Catholic,
Jewish, American Indian spirituality and thought, Buddhist,
and Islamic faiths.

Introduction to selected concepts of
leadership, providing a historical and
philosophical framework for the
program. This course views the
nature and purpose of leadership
from a variety of disciplines and
perspectives.
Investigation of the processes of
critical thinking, drawing from
philosophy as well as natural and
social science. The course will survey
a variety of contemporary approaches
to critical thinking, including the use
of logic and analytical reasoning, the
relationship of evidence to the
confirmation of theories and the value
of appeals to scholarly studies. A
special focus of the course will be an
assessment of the ways in which
natural and social sciences can (and
cannot) assist leaders in addressing
problems and seeking solutions.
This course offers an exploration of
the context of social change and
varying responses to diverse human
needs. Ways of achieving well-being
may be viewed differently by leaders
in public and private domains and
across cultures. The course explores
these various perspectives, including
areas of conflict and opportunities for
leadership in social and organizational
change. Sociological, human
development and economic theories
are applied to contemporary public
and private sector issues for
social change.

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

At Augsburg College you can pursue your dreams of becoming a teacher
while continuing to work. We offer you an opportunity to earn your
education licensure as a component of a Master of Arts in Education
(MAE) degree through classes that primarily meet every other weekend
and limited weekday evenings.
Augsburg's MAE degree is flexible, for people who:
I have a baccalaureate degree already and are seeking teaching
licensure with an option to complete a master's degree;
I are licensed teachers seeking a master's degree;
I are seeking a master's degree in education without teaching
licensure.
Through weekend and weekday evening classes, students can earn
licensure in:
I Elementary education with a middle school specialty. Specialty
areas in communication arts, math, and social studies are available
through this program. The science specialty is available through a
combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend courses. All
education courses are available through weekend and weekday
evening courses.
I Secondary and K-12 education. Undergraduate majors in licensable content areas serve as the foundation for secondary
and K-12 education licensure. These majors are evaluated by Augsburg's content area departments to determine
remaining content area courses necessary for licensure. In general, a minimum of two courses within the licensure major
must be completed at Augsburg. Social studies, art, and communication arts/literature are available entirely through
weekend and weekday evening classes. Other licensure majors are offered primarily through weekday courses, including
biology, chemistry, health education, mathematics, music education, physical education, physics, and theatre arts. All
education courses are available through weekend and weekday evening courses.
I Special education. Licensure areas in special education include emotional/behavioral disabilities and learning disabilities.
These programs, designed primarily for people who have already earned a baccalaureate degree and now want a
teaching license, are comprised of two distinct parts.
First is the licensure component. If you are seeking licensure and qualify for admission into the MAE program, you can take
a portion of the licensure courses at the graduate level. While these courses do not fulfill all MAE degree requirements, they
form the core of the master's degree.
Second is the graduate degree completion component. Between four to six licensure courses completed at the graduate level
with a 3.0 or better cumulative GPA can be applied towards the MAE degree. Once licensure is achieved, you can continue
to take graduate classes in education and leadership to complete the MAE degree.
-
Already licensed teachers can work towards the MAE degree through the following options:
I Special education E/BD and LD
I Reading licensure
People seeking an education-related master's degree who do not want licensure can pursue an MAE degree, as well. These
programs are made up of a core of graduate level education courses plus additional courses in leadership.
Whether seeking licensure and/or a master's degree, this program allows you to change or enhance your career while fulfilling
your family and professional commitments in the company of adults with similar goals.
PROGRAM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg
Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and
communities.
,.
The leadership focus plays out in two ways. First, the additional work required in
focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well a:
requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required
courses from our Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program. This provides the :
aspects of leadership as part of their degree program.

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

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

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

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

Visions of Leadership
ML 511
Creativity and Problem-Solving
ML 520
Self Identity, Values, and Personal
The second option is action research in education. Action
research is a collaborative, self-reflective research method
designed to be used in real situations, and is aimed at solving
real problems. The goal of action research is to gain better
knowledge of one's practice while improving the situation in
which the practice is conducted. This option is composed of
two half-credit courses taken in sequential terms. The first
course, EDC 586, introduces students to action research, a
form of research that simultaneously contributes to the
practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of
social science. The second course, EDC 587, is focused on
collecting and analyzing data. It culminates in a symposium
where students present their research in a public forum.

be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below.
Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the
course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order
to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No
more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the
degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be
repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are
counted in the grade point average.

W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar
that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor's
signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion. The student must complete
the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final
day of the following academic term. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade
for the course becomes a 0.0.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course
instructor.

ACADEMIC PROBATION AND
DISMISSAL POLICIES
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point
average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student
will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0
cumulative grade point average must be restored in order
for a student to be removed from probation. If a student
receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must
petition successfully with the MAE program director
before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan
for the student to follow would be outlined at that time.
If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may
be dismissed from the program by the MAE program
director. Students may also be dismissed by the MAE
program director for behavior detrimental to the
program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as
published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur
only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Students may petition the MAE program director for
approval of any variation in the curriculum including the
transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an
individual basis.

credit are those earned from accredited colleges and
universities, whose course content is comparable to those
in the MAE program. No more than two courses will be
accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Each full-credit graduate course is the equivalent of four
semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in
class a total of 28 hours and are responsible for a
significant amount of individual study and preparation.

ABOUT AUGSBURG
A
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is the
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Discovering your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Core Curriculum — designed
to prepare students to become effective,
informed, and ethical citizens. Through
“Search for Meaning” courses, students
explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a
lifetime: writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a
few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 Majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—
or you can create your own major, either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while
a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC
includes Augsburg College, the College of
St. Catherine, Hamline University,
Macalester College, and the University of
St. Thomas.
Weekend College offers 17 majors and
five certificate programs.
MISSION STATEMENT .
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, “Education for Service,”
and to the mission of the College:
“To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the
context of a vital metropolitan setting, and
by an intentionally diverse campus community.”
HISTORY .
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.
About Augsburg 11
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr.,
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg’s theme
for over 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education
for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity. This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modern
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a concerted
effort to become accredited. Full accreditation was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church. Subsequently,
the American Lutheran Church merged
12 About Augsburg
with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to
form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America.
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg’s emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena,
and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president
in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under
his leadership, the College sharpened its
identity as a college of the city, providing
an education, grounded in vocational calling, that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became the 11th
president of Augsburg College in July
2006. Under his leadership, the College
aims to educate students of all ages — in
the midst of a great city — to be faithful citizens of the world.
AUGSBURG TODAY .
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
• An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
• Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
• The city—with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now over 20,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to Augsburg’s traditional
undergraduate program of liberal arts and
sciences, Augsburg offers master’s degree
programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies,
and social work. For information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu.
Undergraduate education is offered
both on weekday semester programs, and
alternate weekend trimester programs. The
graduate programs generally follow the
trimester schedule.
About Augsburg 13
In addition to its Minneapolis campus,
Augsburg has a branch campus in
Rochester, Minn., and offers a bachelor’s
completion degree in nursing in the Twin
Cities at United, Mercy, and Unity hospitals.
AUGSBURG FOR ADULTS .
Augsburg for Adults is focused on all
adult-centered educational programs, from
community seminars to graduate degrees.
Adult students, who are recognized as
learners from age 25 to 60-plus, have different educational needs and goals than
traditional-aged students, and Augsburg for
Adults assists adult learners in their educational journey, whether they take classes in
the traditional weekday undergraduate program or one of the Augsburg for Adults
programs listed below. For information on
Augsburg’s master’s degree programs, see
the Augsburg College Graduate Studies
Catalog.
Augsburg for Adults aims to evaluate
how each program fulfills students’ needs
and to bridge any gaps in providing quality
education and student services.
■ WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg’s Weekend College (WEC)
offers the same undergraduate degree as in
the traditional weekday program on alternate weekends as an opportunity for adults
who want to complete a baccalaureate
degree, but who work or have other commitments during the week. Some classes
may meet on weekday evenings. It is a
means by which men and women can gain
skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today, with approximately 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 17 majors, WEC is
one of the largest programs of its type
among Minnesota private colleges.
Augsburg’s Weekend College understands that adult students are resourceful
and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods
of concentrated, on-campus study as well
as time for independent study and class
preparation. Most courses include a Webbased course management site.
Alternate Weekend Schedule
To meet the needs of nontraditional
students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to four
hours on either Friday evening, Saturday
morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday
afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the
week. WEC students may take from one to
four courses each term. Selected courses
are also available on weekday evenings and
are open to both Day and Weekend
College students. The WEC academic year
is divided into three trimesters.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
in enriched by the presence of men and
women with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
WEC students to make use of College
facilities, such as Lindell Library and the
Christensen Center, and to participate in
academic and co-curricular activities, such
as the student newspaper, travel seminars,
student organizations, and fine arts. The
WEC student body elects its own leaders
and a WEC Student Senate.
14 About Augsburg
Weekend College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are fulltime Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct faculty who bring professional
experience to their teaching. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal
degree, and all consider teaching to be the
focus of their activities at the College.
Professors are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities,
but these support and are secondary to
their teaching. Faculty are actively
involved in a dynamic faculty development
program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques
and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its
tradition of close involvement between
professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in
campus activities.
■ ROCHESTER CAMPUS
Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester
was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. In
Rochester, six undergraduate majors, plus
a certificate program in business management are offered.
The Rochester campus classrooms and
offices are located at Bethel Lutheran
Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the
heart of the city. Rochester contains
approximately 100,000 residents and
enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior
technological resources.
Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on
a trimester schedule, on weekday evenings
and on occasional Saturdays, making them
accessible to working adults. Several complete degree programs are available
through the Rochester campus. In addi-
tion, students may work on a variety of
other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken
in the Day or WEC program in
Minneapolis.
Students at the Rochester campus are
Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning
resources ranging from access to Lindell
Library databases to the use of online
course management software. Information
about the Rochester campus is available at
www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling
the Rochester office at 507-288-2886.
■ PARTNER HOSPITALS PROGRAM
Also within Weekend College,

Transcripts—An official transcript
from the high school is required of firstyear applicants. First-year applicants who

application should have their most recent
transcript sent, followed by a final, official
transcript upon graduation. If the student

several years, a letter may be submitted by
a supervisor, employer, or other person for
whom the applicant works.
Additional Information—If there
is personal information that may have
affected the applicant’s previous academic
performance, it may be included with the

Admissions will inform the candidate.

FINANCING YOUR EDUCATION
A
ll students receive financial help
indirectly, since a quality liberal arts education costs more than tuition and fees cover.
The College raises that difference in gifts—
from alumni, faculty, staff, parents,
churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for
paying for a college education rests on students and their families. Financial aid is
intended to supplement those resources.

■ PAYMENTS—DAY COLLEGE
Semester Fees—Prior to the start of
each semester a statement of estimated
charges showing basic charges and financial aid credits designated by the
Enrollment Center is sent to the student.
Payment Options—Day Program—
Augburg College offers payment plan
options for Day Program students.
Information about payment plan options is
mailed annually to each student’s permanent address.
■ PAYMENTS—WEEKEND COLLEGE
A statement of tuition and fee charges

in the employer reimbursement payment
plan, students have until 60 days after the
end of each term to pay their term costs in

tuition and fees must be paid in full at the
start of the term. (3) Students may also
defer payment by enrolling in the College’s

FINANCIAL POLICIES.
A finance charge is applied at a simple

account with an open balance of 30 days
or more.
Registration is permitted only if the
student’s account for a previous term is
paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an
approved payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation
diplomas/certificates until all student
accounts are paid in full or, in the case of
student loan funds administered by the
College (Federal Perkins Student Loan),
are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and
exit interviews have been completed.
■ REFUNDS
Students who withdraw from Augsburg
College may be eligible for a refund of a
portion of their charges based on the
appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid
may be adjusted for those students who
withdraw from the College or drop
course(s) and receive financial assistance.
Students who wish to withdraw from
Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal
from College form available in the
Enrollment Center. It must be filled out
completely, signed and turned in to the
Enrollment Center. Students who properly
withdraw or change to part-time, who are
dismissed, or who are released from a

adjusted for tuition and/or room (except
for the minimum deduction of $100 to
cover administrative costs) in accordance
with the terms of their housing contract
Financial Information 31
and/or the appropriate tuition refund
schedule.
Students are responsible for canceling
courses through the Enrollment Center in
order to be eligible for any refund.
Students who unofficially withdraw (stop
attending) but do not complete the
drop/add form are responsible for all
charges. Financial aid may be adjusted
based on the student’s last recorded date of
attendance. Refund calculations are based
on the date that the drop/add form is
processed.
• The Augsburg College Refund Policy
for Day, Weekend, Rochester, Partner
Hospitals, and Graduate Studies.
The refund schedule is based on the
percentage of class time remaining on the
date of the student’s official withdrawal
from class. This applies to all students who
drop one or more courses during each
term.
Percentage of class time remaining
after official drop or withdrawal:
Amount of refund:
100% to 90% remaining
Full refund
(minus $100
administrative
fee)
89% to 50% remaining
Refund equals
the percentage
of term
remaining
49% or less remaining
No refund
This refund schedule is effective
whether or not a student has attended
classes. Please allow two weeks for tuition
and possible financial aid adjustments to
be finalized. If a credit balance remains on
the student’s account, a credit refund check
will be issued at that time.
The refund of charges calculation used
is the Augsburg College Refund Policy stated above.
Students may appeal refund decisions
through the Financial Petition Committee.
Petition forms are available in the
Enrollment Center.
■ MEDICAL REFUND
If a student is forced to withdraw from
one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, the refund will include
the normal refund percentage (based on
the regular refund schedule), plus one-half
of the remaining tuition and fees. This
extra medical refund will be considered
upon submission of documentation from
the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Requests
for medical refunds should be made
through the Financial Petition Committee.
■ UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL
Federal regulations require that records
of financial aid recipients who earn failing
grades in all their classes be reviewed. If
courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial
withdrawal, stopped attending), the
College is required to refund financial aid
to the appropriate sources according to
federal or Augsburg refund policies based
on the last recorded date of attendance.
Students are responsible for the entire cost of
the term including the portion previously
covered by financial aid should they stop
attending. Students are strongly urged to
follow guidelines for complete withdrawal
from college. If there are extenuating
circumstances, a petition to have the cost
of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available in the Enrollment
Center.
32 Financial Information
A student who registers, does not
attend any classes, and does not withdraw
may petition to withdraw retroactively. The
student must petition within six months of
the end of term and provide proof of nonattendance. Proof can include, but is not
limited to, statements from each instructor
that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at
another college or university. If approved,
grades of W will be recorded and charges
for the term dropped. The administrative
cancellation fee is $300.
FINANCIAL AID.
All students who wish to be considered
for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This
includes completing the application process
as outlined below and making satisfactory
academic progress. In order to maintain
eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic
progress toward the attainment of their
degree or certificate as stipulated in the
College catalog and as published on the
Academic Progress Standards for Financial
Aid Recipients webpage
<www.augsburg.edu/enroll/finaid/standards.html>.
Financing higher education could be
the most significant investment a person
or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not
only in choosing a college, but also in the
methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Enrollment Center,
will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education
in a time of increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg may be a combination of
scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2007-2008 academic
year, more than eight out of ten students at
Augsburg received financial assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA), current tax documents, and Augsburg Verification Worksheet help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This
analysis takes into account such family
financial factors as current income, assets,
number of dependent family members,
other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.
■ HOW TO APPLY
The following are required to process
your financial aid application:
1. Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular
student or be a returning student in good
academic standing with the College.
2. Complete the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the
Renewal FAFSA. Students are encouraged
to file the FAFSA electronically on the Web
at <www.fafsa.ed.gov>. Students and their
parents may sign the FAFSA electronically
using a PIN issued by the U.S. Department
of Education. Instructions for requesting a
PIN can be found at <www.fafsa.ed.gov>.

for the preceding year (e.g. tax year 2007
to be considered for financial aid for 20082009). Tax forms are required for the student and parents of dependent students, or
spouse of student if filing separately.
■ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Once all documents are received, we
review the financial aid application to
determine financial aid eligibility for all
available programs. A financial aid award
letter will be sent to the student. This letter details the financial aid award and
includes information regarding:
• institutional financial aid programs
and requirements for continued eligibility,
In addition to aid administered by
Augsburg College, students are urged to
investigate the possibility of scholarships
and grants that might be available in their
own communities. It is worthwhile to
check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high
schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to
students who meet their requirements. In
addition to these sources, some students
are eligible for aid through Rehabilitation
Services, Educational Assistance for
Veterans, Educational Assistance for
Veterans’ Children, and other sources.

government subsidizes by paying the
interest while the student is in school
and during the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower may choose
to make payments while in school or may
defer payments and allow interest to accrue
and be capitalized (added to the balance of
the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized Stafford Loan and
the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, as of July

STUDENT LIFE
A
ugsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense.
Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, but learning and
development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
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 is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. Weekend
College Chapel is held each Saturday
morning when classes meet. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college
pastor, and campus ministry staff have
offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center
for Worship, Drama, and Communication
and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
VOCATION .
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program assists students in this
journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to consider Christian ministry. Contact the director
of Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT .
The members of the Augsburg student
body, in order to further the educational
goals and general welfare of the college
community, developed their own governing system. Their purpose is to establish
and provide guidelines for two studentelected organizations to represent the Day
Student Body and the Weekend College
(WEC) Student Body. These organizations
are to support and advocate for student
concerns, needs, and activities. They serve
Student Life 39
as the primary voice and liaison between
students and the administration, faculty,
and staff of Augsburg.
These groups collectively oversee the
use and administration of the student
activities fee. To aid in this work they have
established an executive board and several
student leadership committees.
Additionally, in collaboration with the
campus activities and orientation department, they oversee the management of all
campus student organizations.
ORIENTATION AND.
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES .
■ ORIENTATION PROGRAMS
The campus activities and orientation
department staff understand what important transitions our students are making,
whether transitioning from high school to
college or from another college to
Augsburg. Both experiences introduce their
own challenges and excitement. A specialized orientation program for new and
transfer day program students has been
developed with this in mind. The goal is to
create a seamless and successful academic
and social transition into the Augsburg
community, while encouraging our community members to become engaged, connected, and reflective learners.
SOAR, our first year orientation program, is built on a peer mentoring philosophy which helps students establish connections with a returning student. SOAR is
a fun experience that helps students learn
more about Augsburg’s beautiful urban
campus and community, its excellent academic programs, and the outstanding
resources that make being an Auggie so
rewarding and Augsburg such a great place
to study.
The orientation program for transfer
students is offered at the beginning of each
semester. TRANSFER-mation is designed
to address different areas students will
experience in their transition to Augsburg.
Many transfer students are concerned
about connecting and establishing their
social base, so activities have been
designed to assist with developing social
relationships.
■ AUGGIE DAYS
The focus of Auggie Days is to help students develop an awareness of self, self in
the community, and self in the world, in
addition to the more tangible needs of
acclimating to life at Augsburg. Starting
with move-in day and lasting for nine full
days, this fall transition program is
designed to help one get to know
Augsburg, the city, the neighborhood,
classmates, the faculty, the staff ... and for
campus activities staff to get to know the
students!
Activities include speakers and discussion, concerts, small group meetings with
faculty, art exhibitions, festivals and fairs
by on-campus organizations, chances to
get to know other Auggies, athletic events,
games, food and fun, and other events
through the whole week. It is a time when
the whole community celebrates the arrival
of new students as well as the return of all
students.
■ CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
The mission for campus activities programming is to support individual identity
and enhance social and communal development. We strive to create an environment that allows students to connect,
engage, and invest in the Augsburg experience and to recognize the benefits associated with student engagement outside of the
classroom. The department works to sup-
40 Student Life
plement the liberal arts instruction of the
College through transitional programs for
new students as well as through leadership
education and student involvement.
The campus activities department
empowers students to learn and experience
leadership and become investors in the
institution, while acknowledging the value
of faith, urban life, relationships, and citizenship as fundamental components. This
understanding recognizes that we are a
community of leaders and global citizens
in a world that is constantly changing.
STUDENT CENTER .
Christensen Center, our student center,
represents the community center of the
campus environment, serving students,
faculty, staff, alumni and guests. Through a
variety of programs, activities, services,
and facilities that collectively characterize a
well-considered plan for the community
life of the college, the student center acts
as an integral part of the educational mission of the institution. Traditionally considered the living room of the campus, our
student center serves and symbolizes the
essences of our community, physically representing as the gathering place of our
community: the community hearth. It
serves our diverse populations of residential, commuter, Weekend College, and
graduate students alike and represents the
merging of curricular and co-curricular.
The Christensen Center also houses
several student services, such as the Office
of Undergraduate Admissions, the
Department of Campus Activities and
Orientation, Event Services, the Copy
Center, Shipping and Receiving,
Information Desk, Food Service, Mail
Services, and Cooper’s (our very own
Starbucks coffee lounge.)
The student activities center, called the
Auggie’s Nest, is located on the first floor
of the Christensen Center. Augsburg Day
and Weekend College (WEC) Student
Senates, Echo, and KAUG, as well as other
student organizations, have office or work
space in this area. The Auggie’s Nest serves
as a hub for student activities.
Throughout the year, the center is
home for a variety of social and cultural
activities that take place on campus. The
surrounding community is vibrant with
events, fairs, and community gatherings.
These activities include dances, films, theatre, theme events, cultural community
fairs, speakers, and visiting personalities in
various fields. Students are encouraged to
engage in Minneapolis for both personal
and academic growth.
■ FINE ARTS
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the
city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band,
and Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
■ ANNE PEDERSON WOMEN’S
RESOURCE CENTER
The Anne Pederson Women’s Resource
Center at Augsburg College offers a variety
of programming for Augsburg students
(women and men) and is a meeting place
for students, faculty, and staff alike. It
houses a Women’s Studies library (including current magazines), a seminar room for
films and discussions, and a lounge space
for studying, relaxing, and just hanging
Student Life 41
out. The Women’s Resource Center sponsors numerous programs and activities,
and provides a safe place on campus for
discussions, explorations and women’s
advocacy. The resource center is located in
207 Sverdrup Hall.
ATHLETICS AND SPORTS

Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MIAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division III. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,

some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities.
Broomball has been an especially popular
coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium
and ice arena.
■ SPORTS AND RECREATION

GAGE CENTER FOR ACADEMIC.
ACHIEVEMENT.
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg
students in setting and achieving optimal
academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The Center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising
Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS)
Academic Skills Office
TRIO/Student Support Services and
McNair
Undergraduate Research and Graduate
Opportunity (URGO)
■ ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic Advising orients new Day
and Weekend College undergraduate students to the academic policies and procedures of the College and assists students
on initial course selection. This office also
provides interpretation of core curriculum
requirements, administers entry-level skill
assessments, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree-planning materials,
and answers questions on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions
as a supplement to the faculty advising system at Augsburg College, and is located in
the Enrollment Center.
All current students are assigned to a
faculty adviser. Prior to the end of their
sophomore year, when they have completed 12 or more credits, students are
required to declare their major and select a
faculty adviser by filling out a Major
Declaration Form and returning it to the
Enrollment Center. All Day students are
required to meet with their assigned faculty adviser each term prior to registration.
Both Day and weekend college students are
42 Student Life
encouraged to meet with their faculty
adviser as often as is necessary.
■ CENTER FOR LEARNING AND
ADAPTIVE STUDENT SERVICES
(CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented
learning, attentional, psychiatric and other
cognitive disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping
these students gain full access to the
College curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students
with diverse backgrounds, preparations,
and experiences.
Each term disability specialists work
directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for academic
access. Typically, meetings are held weekly
and discussions may include:
• Accommodations for testing and
coursework (e.g., extended time,
note-taking)
• Referrals to other campus resources
(e.g., tutoring, general technology
assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid)

arena, fitness center, and Christensen
Center. With just over 1000 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet
each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance
of the residential experience during the
college years. Studies show that students
who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher
grade point average. Residence life staff are
on hand to help students become acquainted with life at Augsburg through social and
educational events. They are also ready to
assist students who need help or friendship.

■ STUDENT STANDARDS OF
BEHAVIOR, COMPLAINTS,
RECORDS

provided for due process in matters of
academic honesty, disciplinary action, and
grievances. These are in the Student Guide.
The College operates in compliance
with the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act. Students have the right to
inspect certain official records, files, and
data that pertain to them and that are
maintained in the registrar’s office and the
placement office, and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information.
Information on these policies is found
in the Student Guide available on the website at <www.augsburg.edu/studentguide>.
■ OFFICIAL NOTICES
Students will receive official notices via

52 Student Life
■ FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
AND PRIVACY ACT
The Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended,
provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year
Augsburg is required to give notice of
the various rights accorded to students
pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg’s
policy is published in this catalog on page
95 and in the Student Guide distributed
annually to students.
Augsburg College understands that no
information other than “directory information” can be released without the written
permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty
or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written
permission is given by the student to
release non-“directory information.” It
is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
Complete information about Augsburg’s
procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
A
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students
must be educated intellectually, spiritually,
and physically. To act effectively, human
beings must have a broad grasp of the
world from which they have come as well
as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts,
natural sciences, and social sciences, the
general education curriculum introduces
students to the breadth and complexity of
knowledge and culture.
Required Search for Meaning courses
are designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition, introduce them to
other faith traditions, and encourage them
to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation
courses offer students opportunities to
develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 50 major
areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a
career or further study. Thus, through a
balance of curricular activities supported
by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real
world for the real world.
■ DEGREES OFFERED
Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts,
the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of
science degrees. Augsburg also offers the
master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and
education), the master of business administration, the master of science (in physician assistant studies), and the master of
social work degrees.
■ ACADEMIC CALENDAR
The Augsburg day program follows the
semester calendar, with fall and spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Fulltime students normally take four course
credits each semester.
The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities,
so students can take a course on another
campus during the regular term.**
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a
trimester calendar. Some classes may meet
on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is
held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from
January through early April. Spring classes
are held from mid-April through the end of
June. There are 7-8 class sessions each
trimester, and classes meet on weekends
for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program
schedule for weekday evening meeting
times.) Students may take from one to four
classes each term.**
The Rochester campus operates on a
trimester calendar. Classes are held on
weekday evenings and meet alternate
weeks. Similar to Weekend College,
Rochester’s fall trimester begins in
September, winter trimester begins in
January, and spring trimester begins in
April. There are 7-8 class sessions each
trimester with each class meeting for 3-1/2
to 4 hours. Students may take one to four
classes each term.**
**(See Registration on pages 73-75 and
Calendars on pages 4-7)
Courses and majors offered through
Weekend College and the Rochester campus are the same as their Day College
counterparts. However, the curriculum is
limited to selected liberal arts courses and
majors.
Academic Information 55
Augsburg offers three summer school
sessions, including a summer online option.
The summer session schedule is available in
the winter of each year.
Augsburg graduate programs follow a
trimester calendar, except for physician
assistant studies. (See Graduate Programs
on page 70.)
■ FACULTY
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a
doctorate or the highest degree in their
field, and all consider teaching to be the
focus of their activity. Faculty are also
involved in a variety of professional and
research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that
introduces them to current thought in
many fields, but especially in teaching
techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
Every first-year is assigned an Augsburg
Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major
adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act
as both mentors and models for students.

ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION AND.
PROGRAMS
.
■ DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS
The College curriculum is offered by 26
departments that are grouped into three
divisions for administrative and instructional purposes.
Fine Arts and Humanities—
American Indian studies, art, communication studies, English, history, modern languages, music, philosophy, religion, theatre
arts, College librarians.
Natural and Social Sciences—
Biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology, sociology.
Professional Studies—Business
administration, education, health and
physical education, nursing, social work.
■ MAJORS AND MINORS
Majors, or concentrations of study, may
be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines.
Some students decide on a major or majors
before they enter college. Others explore a
variety of disciplines before deciding.
The College requires students to
declare a major by the end of the sophomore year, and earlier in some disciplines.
Details of majors and minors are in the
course description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of arts degree.
Minors are not noted on the transcript
if they are completed after a baccalaureate
degree has been awarded.
Student-Designed Major
Students may design their own major
with the assistance and approval of three
advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg
College Academic Affairs Committee
(AAC). A student-designed major allows
flexibility in selecting major courses. Any
student wishing to design a major must
complete a proposal, submit it with
approval and supporting letters from three
faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval
of the program. Students should seek AAC
approval as early as possible so that any
changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting
the student’s proposed completion date.
The deadline for initial submission of the
program design to AAC is the first term in
which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the
Academic Information 57
term before the student achieves senior status.
Students wishing to design majors
must:
1. Develop the student-designed major
in concert with three faculty advisers from
relevant fields, who together constitute the
Review Team. All advisers must sign the
proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting
letters should assess BOTH the student’s
ability to complete the proposed major and
the validity and value of the proposed
major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The
advisers’ signatures and supporting letters
represent their approval of the program,
including the capstone course, and their
commitment to oversee the student’s
progress.
2. Develop a student-designed major
program proposal that includes:
a. A statement of learning goals and
objectives.
b. A list of proposed courses (minimum
of nine, no more than one of which is a
lower-level language course and at least
five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to
the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated
with a college major. Proposals must
include research describing comparable
programs of study at a minimum of three
other academic institutions. In addition,
students should consult with the Center
for Service, Work, and Learning for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core
Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled.
c. A description of the student-designed
major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should
devise the capstone in consultation with
advisers. It should require an integrative
project/paper that draws together the
course work up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at
least one of the advisers must specifically
address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter,
though approval of the student-designed
major program by all advisers presumes
their approval of the capstone course.
3. Submit the completed proposal and
supporting documentation to the Dean’s
Office.
If AAC approves the proposed major
program, the student will be expected to
complete the program designed and still
meet all of the other Augsburg degree
requirements as stated in the college catalog.
Students who design their own majors
will meet with their advisers regularly
throughout the design and subsequent
evaluation of their program. Changes in
the approved student-designed major may
be made through the normal petition
process to the Student Standing Committee
with adviser approval.
58 Academic Information
Listings that are shaded are offered
through both the day program and
Weekend College. Weekend/Rochester/
Partner Hospitals students may choose a
major offered in the day program if they
wish, but must adhere to crossover registration policies and limitations. They may
also take as many courses as possible
through Weekend College, then finish the
major as a day program student. A change
of program is allowed once each academic
year, and will take effect the following
term.

■ HONORS PROGRAM
The Augsburg Honors Program offers
an adventurous education where students
with a passion for ideas can be their best.
We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike
any other honors program in the nation
because it gives students the resources and
freedom to build their own ideal higher
education. Students have the opportunity
to create their own courses, edit and write
for the Augsburg Review of Undergraduate
Scholarship, participate in an intramural
debate league, belong to an Honors House,
and learn through small reading groups,
research projects, and travel around the
world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and
includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great
books on trial, or building an interactive
museum exhibit. Honors courses bring in
professors from several different departments so you can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties.
For information, please contact Robert
C. Groven, Honors Program director,
e-mail address honors@augsburg.edu.
■ INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities
area on several programs.
Cooperating Libraries in
Consortium (CLIC)—Through CLIC, the
Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct
access to over 2,500,000 volumes and
media resources.
Associated Colleges of the Twin
Cities (ACTC)—Full-time day students at
Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and
universities of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect to
take one course each semester (fall and
spring) at one of the other campuses. No
additional fee is required for such an
exchange, except for private instruction in
music or approved independent studies.
Students may elect to participate in the
cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the
other schools, or to undertake a specific
course or major not offered on the home
campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles
students between the campuses.
Weekend College is not part of the
ACTC consortium, and weekend students
may not register for ACTC courses or
complete ACTC majors under the terms
of the ACTC consortium agreements.
Higher Education Consortium for
Urban Affairs (HECUA)—Augsburg, in
cooperation with 17 other colleges and
universities, offers off-campus study
semesters in Scandinavia, Europe,
Bangladesh, South and Central America,
and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs on page 65.)
Air Force ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Air Force
ROTC program at the University of St.
Thomas under the ACTC consortium
agreement. Students are eligible to compete
for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the

■ AUGSBURG ABROAD
Augsburg Abroad is the front door for
students and faculty interested in study
abroad. Services include:
Academic Requirements and Credit
Students fulfill the Augsburg
Experience requirement on approved programs. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill graduation requirements including
major, minor, language, liberal arts foundation, and internship requirements. This is
determined prior to departure when students fill out the required Credit
Agreement form that is signed by academic
advisers and appropriate staff and faculty
approving courses.
Students should be aware of the following policies related to study abroad:
• Students can study abroad more than
once.
• Study abroad program selection
advising
• Students can study abroad at any
point in their academic career.
• Financial and academic advising for
study abroad
Semester and Summer Programs
• Registration and billing for study
abroad
• Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year will meet the
Augsburg residency requirement.
• Pre-departure and re-entry support
(application, orientation, etc.)
• You must take a full load of credits
while abroad on semester programs.
• Faculty-led, short-term program coordination
• You must take courses A-F while
abroad.
About half of Augsburg undergraduate
students are studying abroad. Graduate
students also find short-term programs as
part of their curriculum. Students abroad
will find themselves in a variety of locales
and studying a variety of disciplines:
studying gender issues in Central America;
acting with masks in Norway; interning
with community organizations in Northern
Ireland; studying political science in
Namibia; learning about ecology in
Tanzania; taking organic chemistry in New
Zealand; and learning a language where it
is spoken.
• Grades received on affiliated and nonAugsburg programs will be reported on
your transcript, but not figured into your
GPA.
• A “C” equivalent or higher must be
received for the credit to transfer to
Augsburg.
Faculty-led Short-term Programs
• Students must register for all courses
required by the short-term program. Credit
values may vary, so confirm the specific
program credit load with the Augsburg
Abroad Office. Any courses removed by the
student without Augsburg Abroad permis-

sion prior to the start of the program will
be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no
work was completed in these reinstated
courses, a grade of zero will be awarded.
program. The student is responsible for all
non-recoverable program costs incurred.
• Overload Fee Exemption for Facultyled January programs: January faculty-led
programs are placed within the spring
semester. However, you will not be billed
an overload fee if you take 4.0 or 4.5 credits in the spring. The overload fee is the
only policy affected; a student taking minimal credits in the spring can use it as a
spring course in order to be considered
part-time or full-time.
Augsburg Abroad manages the advising
and administrative processes so students
will also need to meet the eligibility
requirements of, and apply to, a program
provider (as outlined in the Study Abroad
Programs section). Additionally, students
who have applied to the Augsburg Abroad
office, for any program, must email their
intent to withdraw if they choose not to
continue with study abroad. Failure to
e-mail may result in fees owed by the
student.
• Crossover Policy Exemption: The
crossover policy does not apply to study
abroad students. WEC students who do a
study abroad program placed in the Day
program do not count that as their
crossover course and similarly for day students doing a study abroad program placed
in a WEC term.
Eligibility and Application
The following are Augsburg College’s
requirements for study abroad:
• Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of
application. Individual programs may
require a higher average. Students with
lower averages should consult with
Augsburg Abroad.
• Sophomore, junior or senior standing
by the time you study abroad. Short-term,
faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student receives
approval from the faculty-leader.
• Transfer students must complete one
semester at Augsburg before they may
study off campus.
• Not be on academic or disciplinary
probation. Students placed on academic or
disciplinary probation after admittance to
study abroad may be withdrawn from the
• Not have an outstanding balance on
your student account.
Application deadlines for semester programs are October 1 for spring semester
study abroad and March 1 for fall semester
study abroad. Program provider deadlines
will vary; students need to meet all deadlines set by program providers. Students
should start planning in first year for study
abroad to be sure to do appropriate
research and meet all deadlines.
Students are responsible for disclosing
their disability and requesting accommodations abroad within a reasonable time
frame prior to departure, ideally as early as
program selection. Augsburg Abroad will
work closely with CLASS and ACCESS
offices to determine needs and make
appropriate and possible accommodations
abroad.
Costs and Financial Aid
Study abroad is based on program fees
which is a package of costs that generally
includes tuition, housing, international
health insurance, some meals, excursions,
and study abroad fees however this varies
from program to program. Augsburg
College pays the program provider on the
students’ behalf and then bills the
Academic Information 65
Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for study
abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying
abroad.
Students who receive financial aid,
scholarships, and/or grants to study at
Augsburg can use that entire package to
cover their study abroad program costs.
Cost estimates for the time abroad are
drawn up to assist the financial aid office
in awarding aid to students studying
abroad.
Students are required to notify
Augsburg Abroad immediately once they
choose not to continue with their study
abroad experience. At the moment of notification non-recoverable costs will be
assessed and charged to the student
account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal students may owe
nothing, the deposit, or some, or all, of the
program fee. Students are also subject to
the cancellation and refund policies of
their program provider.
Study Abroad Programs
Students have over 200 programs in
over 60 countries from which to choose. In
addition to the below Augsburg College
programs, students can choose from affiliated program providers. These programs
have been reviewed to meet the Augsburg
experience requirement, diverse needs of
students, and provide quality student service. The programs are reviewed each year.
If students cannot find a program that
meets their needs from the Augsburg
College or Augsburg-affiliated options then
they can apply to do a non-Augsburg program. Students with a strong academic or
financial reason, faculty support (as shown
on the Credit Agreement form), and who
choose a good quality program, may be
approved.
The Center for Global Education
The mission of the Center for Global
Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of
local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading
to a more just and sustainable world.
The center’s study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and
Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with
other students in a community house,
spending several days in a rural setting,
and several weeks living with host families.
In the Mexico and Namibia programs, students travel together on two-week seminars — from Mexico to Central America,
and from Namibia to South Africa. The
cost of these programs is equivalent to full
tuition, room, and board for one semester
on campus, plus airfare. (Some travel
scholarships are available for Augsburg students.)
Crossing Borders: Gender and Social
Change in Mesoamerica (Mexico) —
Fall
Learn about the central issues facing
Mesoamerica, with emphasis on the experience and empowerment of women.
Students will engage in gender analysis of
key social, economic, political, and cultural issues in Mexico and El Salvador;
explore the interconnectedness of race,
class, and gender; and learn first hand
from both women and men who are
involved in struggles for sustainable development and social change. The program
offers credit in religion, political science,
women’s studies, and Spanish. Internships
and independent studies are also available.
The program begins with a one-week seminar/orientation in the U.S-Mexico border
region and ends with a two-week seminar

also available.
The largest immigrant group in the
United States is composed of people born
in Mexico, and Mexico is front and center
in debates about globalization and U.S.
immigration policy. This program,
designed for international business majors,
will study the important role that Mexico
plays in the U.S. in relation to trade issues,
how to conduct business in and with
Mexico, and use it as a lens to learn about
international business topics that are relevant in many different countries. Students
will have the opportunity to study Spanish
at levels from beginning to advanced, live
with a host family for four weeks, and
develop closer relationships in the community and improve their international business background by completing an internship in a local business or government
office. Prerequisites: ECO 112 or 113, and

■ THE CENTER FOR SERVICE, WORK,
AND LEARNING
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning is a comprehensive resource center incorporating an experiential educational focus emphasizing the importance
and value for all students to engage in service- and work-based learning experiences
and the exploration of personal and professional vocation throughout their college
years. The center encourages students to
take advantage of Augsburg’s metropolitan
location through the highly successful service-learning, Campus Kitchen, internship,
and career planning programs that link the
College’s academic programs to community
organizations and businesses.
Service- and work-based experiential
education opportunities are closely related
to students’ coursework, majors, and/or
career interests. Learning opportunities
may be in non-profit organizations,
churches, schools, government agencies,
community-based organizations, small and
mid-size companies, and large corporations.
The underlying assumption is that a
liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds
breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making
more informed academic, personal, and
career decisions.
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning includes the following programs:
Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with
opportunities to understand and respond
to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement. A key component of community service-learning includes reflection on and
analysis of community issues in order to
promote personal and educational growth
and civic responsibility. Through connecting classroom content with service,
Augsburg students learn from and about
the organizations where they serve and
deepen their understanding of course
knowledge. This dynamic and interactive
educational approach employs reciprocal
learning between the students and the
community. Community service-learning
examples include tutoring at schools and
literacy centers; volunteering at homeless
shelters, Habitat for Humanity, and community centers; or working with cultural
and environmental groups.
Academic Information 69
The service-learning program also
works closely with the student-directed
Augsburg LINK and campus ministry.
Campus Kitchen at Augsburg
The Campus Kitchen at Augsburg
College (CKAC) is a unique student led
program that brings together Augsburg
student, faculty and staff volunteers, the
campus food service, local food banks, and
neighborhood community organizations to
utilize surplus food to meet hunger and
nutritional needs in our neighborhood.
CKAC volunteers coordinate food donations, prepare and deliver free meals to
area community partners, and teach nutrition education to local youth. Key program
goals are to provide leadership development and service learning opportunities for
Augsburg students, encourage deeper
understanding of hunger issues, and foster
a long-lasting commitment to service and
active citizenship. Affiliated with the
Campus Kitchens Project, a non-profit
organization in Washington, D.C., this program is one of only 12 in the nation.
■ INTERNSHIPS
Academic Credit
An academic internship is a carefully
planned, service- or work-based learning
experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning
objectives. Academic credit is received for
the learning derived from the experience.
A learning agreement plan, negotiated with
a faculty supervisor and work supervisor,
outlines the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods.
An academic internship is approved,
supervised, and evaluated by a faculty
member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship
credit. Internships can be registered for 1
course credit or .5 course credit.
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), or summer
sessions. Inter-disciplinary internships are
also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and
Grading on page 88.
A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Transcript Notation
Non-credit internships related to a student’s major or career objective can be registered for a zero-credit transcript notation.
The goal is for students to apply theory to
practice in a work setting and reflect on
the experience. Work opportunities typically are part-time during the academic
year and/or full-time in the summer and
can begin and end anytime. Students must
register for the non-credit transcript notation, set learning goals and evaluate their
experience. The director of the Center for
Service, Work, and Learning supervises
transcript notation work experiences.
Academic internships and internships for
zero-credit may be used to fulfill the
Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.
Career Services
Career Services is committed to providing opportunities and programs to help
students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career
paths, and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This
process is viewed as an important part of a
student’s development while attending college. To aid in this process, career staff provide career related assessments, one-onone career planning, and coaching. Staff
70 Academic Information
also assist with choosing majors, locating
internships, preparing for job searches,
graduate school applications, and making
connections to community, business, and
alumni resources.
■ GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Augsburg College offers six graduate
degree programs: Master of Arts in
Education, Master of Arts in Leadership,
Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of
Business Administration, Master of Science
in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master
of Social Work. Consult the Augsburg
Graduate Studies catalog for complete
information.
The Master of Arts in Education offers
initial licensure coursework at the graduate
level in elementary education, secondary
education, and special education: E/BD and
LD. Students are able to take up to six
licensure courses at the graduate level and
complete their licensure programs with a
combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Students can then apply
their graduate level licensure courses to
complete a master’s degree program.
Students will complete their master’s
degrees through a combination of MAL
coursework and graduate level education
coursework (total of nine courses).
Licensed teachers also can pursue special
education: E/BD and/or LD, as well as the
K-12 Reading Licensure Endorsement
licensure at the graduate level. The program is available through the Weekend
College schedule, and the admissions
process begins with the Adult and
Graduate Admissions office. For further
information about the programs, contact
the Education Department or the admissions office.
The Master of Arts in Leadership is
based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary pro-
gram directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues,
and problems relevant to organizational
leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes
that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum
of abilities to provide them with a more
comprehensive understanding of their
world. Designed for working adults, the
program offers courses primarily on alternate Saturdays. (Note: A five-year program
is available to Augsburg undergraduate
accounting majors that would qualify them
for CPA certification and fulfill requirements for a B.A. in Accounting and an
M.A. in Leadership. See the Accounting
major section of the catalog for further
information.)
The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health
nursing practice across care settings, with
emphasis on addressing health inequities
among diverse populations. The program
is offered within the context of a Christian
liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in
Advanced Community Health Nursing, or
Advanced Nursing Administration through
the American Nurses Credentialing Center
(ANCC), and/or Advanced Certification in
Transcultural Nursing through the
Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS).
Classes meet on a flexible schedule (every
other week or once per month) that
includes weekdays, weekday evenings, and
Saturdays. Web-enhanced pedagogies are
used for all classes. Practicums include
optional short-term study abroad experiences. Students may choose to study in
Mexico, Guatemala, Namibia, Pine Ridge,
S.Dak., and/or Europe. The Master of Arts
in Nursing Program is accredited by the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing
Education in accordance with its accreditation standards and procedures.
Academic Information 71
The Master of Business
Administration is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge
necessary to advance in their careers and
accept roles of greater responsibility in an
organization. Meeting primarily on one
evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 23
months. Organized in cohort format, the
program encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses
on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex
environments. An intensive Management
Consulting course allows students to apply
theory and classroom learning to an actual
business or organizational environment.
Local businesses and organizations provide
a laboratory for students as they complete
comprehensive projects in various disciplines and functions.
The core program can be enhanced
through participation in a number of concentrations including finance, healthcare
management, human resource management, international business, and marketing management.
The Master of Science in Physician
Assistant Studies is designed for students
interested in careers as health care
providers. The mission of the program is
based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of,
and is oriented toward providing care to,
underserved populations. Students are well
educated in current medical theory and
practice in primary care medicine. All
physician assistants must have a supervising physician to practice. The program is
three years long with classes held Monday
through Friday during the day.
The Master of Social Work, accredited
by the Council on Social Work Education,
prepares students for entering advanced
social work practice. The program builds
on the liberal arts base of the College and
supports the College’s mission to nurture
future leaders in service to the world.
There are two concentrations: family
practice or program development, policy,
and administration. Students choose one of
the two concentrations for their program
focus. The curriculum emphasizes work
with diverse and oppressed groups, social
justice, leadership for social change, and a
holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving
framework. Graduate social work classes
meet in four-hour blocks on Friday
evenings, Saturday mornings, and
Saturday afternoons.
The family practice concentration prepares students to work with families and
individuals within families, across the full
range of contemporary social work practice
settings. The program development, policy,
and administration concentration prepares
students to actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy
toward changing policies that obscure and
oppress people.
A dual degree (Master of Social Work
and Master of Arts in Theology) is also
available and is offered in collaboration
with Luther Seminary. The dual degree is
designed to meet the educational interests
of people planning to serve the spiritual
and social needs of families, individuals,
and communities.

Crossover Registration Policy
Every Augsburg undergraduate student
is admitted to a “home program,” either
day, Weekend College, or the Rochester
Program. It is expected that students will
complete most of their degree requirements through their home program.
However, full-time students may register
for up to 1.0 credits per term outside their
home program. Enrollment will be based
on class availability.
Students will be charged the rate of
their home program for courses in which
they enroll outside their home program.
The rate will be based on the maximum
credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms.
For example, a day program student taking
2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0
credits in the WEC program, will be considered full-time and will be charged the
full-time day program tuition rate. A WEC
student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program,
will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits.
Day students taking over 4.5 credits
will pay the day part time rate for any
credits over 4.5 in their combined
day/WEC load (Spring day term will
include both winter WEC and spring
WEC). The maximum number of credits
that may be included in the day full-time
tuition rate for students who cross-register
is 4.5.
Students have registration priority in
their home program. Crossover registration
Academic Information 75
begins only after the open Web registration
period closes for both programs. A schedule is published on the registrar’s office
Web page. There is a special crossover registration form that must be processed at
the Enrollment Center. This registration
option is not available by Web.
The WEC, Rochester, and Partner
Hospitals programs are not part of the
ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin
Cities) tuition exchange program.
WEC/Rochester/hospital students may
NOT crossover to attend ACTC courses.
Students must have completed their
undergraduate degree and be admitted to a
graduate program before taking graduate
level courses from that program. (An
exception is made for approved courses in
the Department of Nursing and the joint
B.A. Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay
the graduate rate for those courses. Any
student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate
level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the
program in which the course is offered
(Day, WEC, or Rochester).
Change of Program
Students may apply to change their
“home program” by filling out a Change of
Program form available at the Enrollment
Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one
each academic year. A Change of Program
form must be submitted before the term
begins.
Registration
All day students are required to meet
with their academic adviser prior to registration. Incoming first-years and transfer
students may register during summer for
courses in the fall. All currently enrolled
day students may register during the fall
for the spring term and during the spring
for the fall term.
Weekend College and Rochester campus students may register during the designated time prior to the start of each term.
The primary method of registration will
be via the Web through AugNet during the
open registration period. Please reference
the academic calendar on AugNet for specific dates. Day students will be able to
register only after meeting with their faculty adviser. The Enrollment Center is also
available to process registration forms.
Note: Web registration may not recognize
prerequisites fulfilled by transfer work. In
these cases, please process your registration at the Enrollment Center.
When the open registration period
ends, returning students registering for the
first time for the coming term will be
assessed a late registration fee. The
Enrollment Center will process all registration forms after the Web closes.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon
courses for which they are registered
because this will result in a failing grade
on their official academic record.
Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from
College must be completed in the
Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the
College form may be obtained at the
Enrollment Center or downloaded from
the registrar’s Web page. The last day to file
for a Withdrawal from College is the last
day of classes prior to finals week.
Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from
College form is returned to the registrar’s
office. Students must re-admit to the
College when they are ready to resume
their studies. The Application for
Readmission form is available from the
76 Academic Information
Enrollment Center or can be downloaded
from the registrar’s Web page.
Students are responsible for keeping
the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address.
Military Called to Active Duty
Augsburg College will allow students to
withdraw from courses without penalty if
they are called to active duty as military
reservists, National Guard, or for other
military service. This shall include a 100%
refund of tuition and fees upon verification
of call to active duty. The student must
provide a copy of their orders to the registrar.
If the student is called to duty after the
deadline to drop a course, the registrar will
place a W for the course(s) along with a
notation on the transcript that the student
was called to active duty. This is to assist
the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate
that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control.
Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to
active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon
the coursework completed, or work out an
“incomplete” agreement. Students who are
able to complete some of their courses
would have their refund adjusted to reflect
this.
Students who are being placed on
active duty should contact the registrar
and/or the Dean’s Office as soon as possible
so the College can notify all parties and aid
in this process.
Student Standing Committee
The Student Standing Committee
reviews requests for exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the committee considers requests for:
• Minor exceptions to academic
requirements and/or approval of transfer
course substitutions
• Extending time for an incomplete
• Permission to take a course overload
• Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or
grade option changes)
Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a
$50 petition fee attached to the petition.
This fee is non-refundable regardless of the
outcome of the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be
submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term
involved.
For petitions requesting a late registration, any student account holds must be
cleared before submitting the petition.
Students who are allowed to add a course
by petition after the published petition
deadline will incur a $150 late registration
fee per course.
In addition, the committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic
probation or dismissal from the College on
academic grounds. The committee also
hears appeals from students who have been
dismissed for academic reasons.
The committee reviews student
requests for readmission to the College
after dismissal or returning after leaving
while on probation.
The committee typically meets every
other week throughout the school year
Academic Information 77
(September-April), and once a month during summer.
Petition Process
Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the
Enrollment Center or download from the
registrar’s webpage: <www.augsburg.edu/
enroll/registrar>.
Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness
or family emergency. Have your adviser,
instructor, or department chairs sign and
add comments concerning your request.
Petitions without comments from faculty
will be returned for completion. Note: If
petitioning for a change in registration,
please submit a drop/add form signed by
both the instructor and student.
Step 3: Return the completed petition
form to the Office of the Registrar/
Enrollment Center, include signed
drop/add form and $50 check if applicable.
Step 4: After the committee meets, a
copy of the petition with the committee’s
decision is returned to the student. Day
students will receive this notice in their
campus box. WEC and Rochester student
petitions will be mailed to their home
address.
Catalog Applicability
Students must fulfill the general education requirements in effect when they
matriculated at Augsburg. Students may
elect to satisfy the departmental major
requirements of any of the catalogs in
effect during their years of enrollment.
However, students who are readmitted
after more than six years away from the
College must complete the departmental
major requirements of the most current
catalog at the time of readmission or any
one of the catalogs in effect during their
subsequent years of continuous enrollment
at Augsburg.
Second Majors and Degrees
Students who graduated from Augsburg
and are returning to complete a second
major will not be awarded a second degree
unless it is different from the original
degree awarded. (B.A., B.M., B.S.) Students
cannot earn multiple degrees for the same
major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic
department if the majors are distinct. For
example, a student cannot earn both a B.A.
in computer science and a B.S. in
computer science, but may earn a B.S. in
computer science and a B.A. in computational philosophy.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The evaluation of transfer credits is
completed by the Office of the Registrar
and is based on a student’s official transcripts. College credit is granted for liberal
arts courses completed at regionally
accredited institutions with a grade of
2.0/C or better. Augsburg does not grant
credit for developmental courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of
C-, CD, or below do not transfer to
Augsburg College. The registrar’s office
evaluates coursework for credit and for
applicability toward Augsburg Core
Curriculum requirements. Academic
departments are responsible for evaluating
the applicability of coursework toward a
student’s major or minor. The College
requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at
Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence
Requirements section of the catalog.)
Augsburg operates on a course credit
system rather than semester or quarter
hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter
hours. Transfer credits that have been
reported to Augsburg as semester or quar-
78 Academic Information
ter hours are converted to Augsburg course
credits by dividing by four or six respectively.
• The Augsburg Core Curriculum will
be adjusted so students need only to complete the following:
Augsburg College limits transfer credit
from two-year colleges. Students may
transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits
(96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges.
Once a student reaches this credit limit, no
additional credits will transfer from twoyear institutions toward the minimum
number of course credits required for a
baccalaureate degree. However, courses
taken beyond the credit limit can be used
to meet liberal arts and major requirements.
• REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and
Vocation
Courses and credits that are accepted in
transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other
institutions are not transferred to Augsburg
and are not included in the student’s
cumulative grade point average.
Students should consult with their faculty adviser and the Office of the Registrar
before taking courses at other institutions
to ensure compliance with transfer credit
policy and residency requirements. (Refer
to the Residence Requirements section of
the catalog.)
MnSCU Transfer Students
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
system who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MnSCU, and

determined at the time of initial entry into
Augsburg and will not be granted for
courses completed after initial enrollment.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS.
The responsibility for ensuring that all
degree requirements are satisfied rests with
the student. All students are required to
file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year prior to graduation.
Faculty advisers, the Academic
Advising staff, department chairs, and the
registrar staff are available for counsel and
assistance in program planning.
Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree
should contact the Office of the Registrar
about specific requirements for a second
baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent
of a major. See page 23 — Special Students
(Second Degree).
Each student is required to apply for
graduation at the end of his or her junior
year to confirm remaining graduation
requirements.
Application forms are available at the
Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s
Web page.
All degree and course requirements
must be completed and verified in the
Office of the Registrar in order for the
degree to be conferred. (There may be no
incompletes or open courses on the academic record.)
Requirements For Undergraduate
Graduation:
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a
major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a
minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and
in total course work, and residence.
80 Academic Information
1. Completion of 32 course credits
— No more than 13 course credits may be
in one department, except in certain
approved majors: accounting (B.A.) – 14;
music education (B.M.) – 17; music performance (B.M.) – 14.5; music therapy (B.S.)
– 17; and social work (B.S.) – 15; youth
and family ministry (B.A.) – 15.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 32 total course credits
required: two courses by independent/
directed study; four courses of internship;
and six course credits with a grade of Pass
(P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two elective
P/N graded courses. Each department sets
its own limitations on the number of P/N
graded courses that may be applied toward
the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than
two course credits with P grades toward a
major and no more than one course credit
with a P grade toward a minor. The
Departments of Education and Social Work
are examples of departments that allow
students to apply more than two course
credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching or field work practicums).
2. Completion of a Major —
Requirements for each major are listed
under the departmental headings.
3. Completion of the Augsburg
Core Curriculum — Requirements for the
Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in
the next section.
4. Grade Point Average — Students
must earn a minimum overall grade point
average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors
and minors require at least a 2.00 grade
point average in course work for the major
or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certification programs require a higher grade
point average or a minimum grade in each
course. See the departmental section for
details about the grade and grade point
average for individual majors and minors.
5. Residence — The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no fewer than
seven of the last nine credits/requirements)
must be completed at Augsburg or within
an approved ACTC exchange program. No
fewer than a total of nine credits are to be
taken at Augsburg College. Contact the
registrar’s office if an official interpretation
is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required
to be taken in residence within the major
and minor. Consult the catalog description
of the major/minor or the chairperson of
the department.

■ THE AUGSBURG CORE
CURRICULUM
The Augsburg Core Curriculum is
designed to prepare students to become
effective, informed, and ethical citizens
through their engagement in a curriculum
that:
• Provides a liberal arts foundation and
promotes the acquisition of intellectual
and professional skills;
• Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for
meaning; and
• Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s
place of leadership and service in a diverse
world — vocatio and caritas.
The curriculum has three major components:
• The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
• The Liberal Arts Foundation
• Skills Requirements
THE AUGSBURG SIGNATURE
CURRICULUM
Christian Vocation and the Search for
Meaning
Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes
seriously the College’s identity as a college
of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of
America. Two required courses (REL 100
and REL 200) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the college’s
related interest in asking students to think
critically about the concept of vocation.
Faculty who teach these courses make
the following commitments to their students:
• You are welcome — whether you are
Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker,
Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran,
uncertain, disinterested, or someone who
is ‘spiritual but not religious.’ Our
Christian understanding is rooted in a generous spirit of hospitality.
• We will treat each other with respect
as we learn how to engage in conversation

with one another about our different
values, commitments, convictions, and
faith traditions.
• We will challenge and support one
another to develop a mature faith for our
time — open to doubts and eager to
explore our questions and the realities of
our world and culture.
• We will equip you with basic knowledge about vocation, religion, the Bible,
and Christianity as well as about Judaism,
Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism — their
stories, claims, and key concepts.
• We will deepen our study of
Christianity, explore Augsburg’s claim that
“what we believe matters,” and invite you
to continue the process of developing your
own lived theology.
• We will explore the concept of vocation and our understanding that we are
beloved and called to live and serve as
neighbors. We will explore the idea that
vocation is a model and lens for viewing
the connections between our basic beliefs
and the commitments and actions we
make in life.
The Augsburg First Year
In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community,
first-year weekday program students are
required to take courses containing the following components:
• Augsburg Seminar
All students who enter the College as
first-year students in the weekday schedule
program must satisfactorily complete fall
orientation and Augsburg Seminar, a firstyear learning community in their major or
related area of academic interest. Each
week Augburg Seminars devote an hour to
topics relevant to an Augsburg education:
becoming an intentional learner; making
connections to the larger Augsburg learning community; and exploring strategies
for success in the AugSem course(s) and
future college work.
• Engaging Minneapolis
The Engaging Minneapolis requirement
builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in
experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. Students
take one course that introduces them to
the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement,
cultural engagement, or service learning.
Most Engaging Minneapolis courses also
fulfill an Augsburg Core Curriculum or
major requirement. They should be taken
during the first year, but may be taken in
the second year.
• Many Voices Project
Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON
111 (see core skills requirements), the
Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text
addressing themes of cultural diversity and
global awareness. Emphasizing ways in
which written communication can promote understanding and productive
engagement among different cultures and
points of view, the Many Voices Project is
intended to teach skills and methods that
promote successful communication
between diverse writers and readers.
Augsburg Experience
All students must complete at least one
approved Augsburg Experience as a
requirement for graduation. Augsburg
Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and
active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning
opportunities are recognized as Augsburg
Experiences: internships (including field-
Academic Information 85
work, practicums, and student teaching),
faculty-student research, service learning/
community service, study abroad, and offcampus immersion experiences.
An Augsburg Experience integrates
experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and
reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg
Experiences meet two criteria: (1)
Integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) Link on-campus
learning to the goals, mission, needs, or
ideas of off-campus people, organizations
and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities,
and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may
be embedded in designated courses that
are part of the regular class schedule or
may be completed for zero credit outside
of the regular class schedule. The length of
time required, credit/no-credit status, and
grading options for approved Augsburg
Experiences will vary.
Senior Keystone
The official list of approved keystone
courses is found on the registrar’s web
page — under the heading ‘General
Education’, click on ‘Senior Keystone’.
THE LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION
The Liberal Arts Foundation courses
introduce students to knowledge and
modes of inquiry across a wide range of
disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide
the opportunity for students to acquire a
broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation.
Students choose two courses from two
different departments in each domain. The
list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts
Foundation requirement is available online
at the registrar’s web page and from the
registrar’s office.
The official list of approved LAF
courses is found on the registrar’s web
page — under the heading ‘General
Education’, click on ‘Approved LAF
Courses and Skills Listing’.
The Senior Keystone course provides a
final opportunity for exploring the central
themes of an Augsburg education — vocation and the search for meaning in a
diverse and challenging world. Students
will reflect upon the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of
transition as they prepare for their lives
after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also
meet major requirements.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
The Senior Keystone course in each
department connects the broad liberal arts
foundation with the professional skills and
in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the
world as leaders and servants.
Economics, Environmental Studies,
Political Science, Psychology, Sociology
Two courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,
Physics.
One must be a lab science course.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Two courses from two different departments:
Humanities
Two courses from two different departments/programs:
American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy,
86 Academic Information
Religion, Modern Language and Cultural
Studies (literature and culture courses),
Women’s Studies
Note: The signature Search for Meaning
courses do not count as Humanities
Liberal Arts Foundation requirements.
Fine Arts
Two courses or approved activities
from two different departments:
Art, Music, Theatre Arts.
One Fine Arts LAF requirement can be
met with four semesters of participation in
the following major choral ensembles (any
combination of four): MUE 111, MUE 112,
MUE 114, MUE 115.
SKILLS REQUIREMENTS
Entry Level Skills Assessments
There are entry level skills assessments
in:
• Critical Thinking
• Mathematics
• Writing
Placement in writing, math, and critical
thinking courses is determined by the
assessments. These tests are a prerequisite
for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements.
• Critical Thinking Assessment and
Requirement
Students who have college credit for a
critical thinking or logic course are exempt
from the critical thinking assessment.
Students who do not achieve the minimum entry score on the placement exam
are required to take GST 100 Critical
Thinking.
• Mathematics Assessment and
Requirement
All students are required to have their
math placement group (MPG) determined.
In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at
another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other
students must take the Augsburg Math
Placement Exam, which is administered by
Academic Advising. The exam is given
during College registration sessions and at
other announced times during the year.
Practice questions and other information
are available from Academic Advising.
Based on the math assessment result,
students will be enrolled in the appropriate
courses or advised on preparation for
retaking the math placement exam.
Students may retake the Math Placement
Exam once during their first term of
enrollment. Students are required to take
the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve
MPG 3 by the end of their first year at
Augsburg.
Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103
to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2
must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3.
Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to
advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course
changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass
or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to
the next math level.
Students are encouraged to advance
their MPG as soon as possible. Students
must achieve Math Placement Group
(MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4
as a prerequisite.
Academic Information 87
• Writing Assessment and
Requirement
This entry level assessment determines
readiness for ENL 111 or 112. Students
who do not place highly enough on the
entry level assessment will be required to
take ENL 101 Developmental Writing
before ENL 111.
Students who have transferred in a
course equivalent to ENL 111 are excused
from the entry level exam. Students entering Weekend College or the Rochester program do not take the Writing Assessment.
Core Skills Requirements
• Effective Writing
ENL 111 Effective Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, is
required. Attendance the first day of class
is required.
Students should complete Effective
Writing by the middle of their sophomore
year because it is a prerequisite for Writing
Graduation Skill courses.
• Modern Language
For students who have not previously
studied a modern language, completion of
a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in
both courses is required. The BYU-CAPE
language assessment is offered to students
who have had at least one year of study of
French, German, or Spanish language in
high school. For a language previously
studied, successful completion (minimum
grade of 2.0 or P) of the 112 level satisfies
the requirement. Students placing into 112
must enter at the 112 level. No college
credit will be given for repeat of 111.
Students whose placement test is at 211 or
higher will be exempted from further language study.
Modern language courses accepted in
transfer may be applicable to this skills
area for partial or full completion of the
requirement.
Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by
passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled the Modern Language Core
Skill.
Students whose first language is not
English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners
(ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL
requirement. The requirement is satisfied
by successfully completing the ELL
course(s) and achieving a score above the
minimum on the ELL placement exam.
Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core
Skill requirement. Contact Academic
Advising or the English Department for
additional information. More information
about English Language Learners is found
on page 92.
• Lifetime Fitness
Two lifetime fitness courses are
required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness
is required of all students. The second
course may be chosen from a variety of different Lifetime Activity courses (HPE 002,
003). Students may test out of the activity
course by demonstrating proficiency from
a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency
exams are offered through the Health and
Physical Education department each
semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime
activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education
majors may not test out of this requirement.
Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime
Activity courses are non-credit courses and
are not included in the 32-course credit
graduation requirement.
88 Academic Information
Graduation Skills Requirements
An Augsburg education includes
enhancement of certain skills during the
years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing
skills are deliberate components of certain
courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in
the major. Some departments, however,
designate courses outside the major or
elective courses in the major that fulfill
these requirements. See department and
program pages in this catalog or consult
the department chair for more information.
• Physical Education (teaching licensure only)
• Physics
2. Bachelor of Science/Modern
Language Waiver. Students who elect the
Bachelor of Science/Modern Language
Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their
degree. The following majors are approved
for the Bachelor of Science/Modern
Language Waiver:

EVALUATION AND GRADING.
■ EXPLANATION OF GRADES
The official delivery of end-of-term
grades to students is online via the AugNet
Records and Registration website.
Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation.
Most courses are offered with grading
options—traditional grading on a 4.0 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.
Academic Information 89
Pass/No Credit
3.0
Students who choose the P/N option
are cautioned:
2.5
• In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
2.0
• Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank each
as a C.
1.5
• Maximum number of course credits
taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of
Pass (P).
• P-graded courses do not count
toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for
Latin Honors. Transfer students should be
especially aware of this requirement.
• To be eligible for graduation with
Latin Honors, students may elect only two
P/N credits.
• See P/N limitations under Graduation
Requirements, page 80.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(e.g., lifetime activities are graded only
P/N).
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading
option. Any changes in choice of grading
system must be made according to dates
published each term.
Numeric Grades
Numeric grades are used with these
definitions:
4.0
3.5
Achieves highest standards of
excellence
1.0
Achieves above basic course
standards
Meets basic standards for the
course
Performance below basic course
standards
0.5
0.0
Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
Incomplete (I) Grades
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission
after determining that a student emergency
may delay completion of coursework.
Students who receive an incomplete grade
should be capable of passing the course if
they satisfactorily complete outstanding
course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an
Application for Incomplete Grade Form
with the Office of the Registrar that states
the reasons for the request, outlines the
work required to complete the course, and
includes the course instructor’s signature.
The instructor may stipulate the terms and
conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the
same course (or a portion of the same
course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete
the outstanding work in enough time to
allow evaluation of the work by the
instructor and the filing of a grade before
the final day of the following academic
term in the student’s program. If the work
is not completed by the specified date of
the following academic term, the grade for
the course becomes 0.0.
90 Academic Information
Extension (X) Grades
Auditing Courses
Internships, independent studies, and
directed studies may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is the case, they
must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of
the first term of registration. A grade of X
(extension) is given by the instructor to
indicate that the study is extended. It is
expected that students given X extensions
will continue to communicate with their
instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A
final grade will be issued at the end of the
term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year).
An instructor has the right to not grant an
extension where satisfactory progress is not
demonstrated. If the course is not
completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Students who wish to take courses
without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their
total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The
charge for part-time and Weekend College
students is listed under Weekend College
Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 28. The signature of the
instructor is required to register an audit.
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
requirements. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be
listed with a grade of W. Audited courses
do not count toward graduation and do
not fulfill general education requirements.
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5,
1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken each term and
grades earned, including W and N, will be
recorded on the academic record. Only the
credits and grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated courses, are
counted toward graduation and in the
grade point average. Courses completed at
Augsburg College must be repeated at
Augsburg to be included in the repeat
policy.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based
on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and grade points for
work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the P/N grading option
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by
number of credits attempted.*
*Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned
Classification
Students are classified when grades are
posted at the end of each term.
Classification is based on the number of
course credits completed.
• Sophomores—7 completed course
credits.
• Juniors—16 completed course credits.
• Seniors—24 completed course credits.
Academic Information 91
■ 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 comprise the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The
Assessment of Previous Learning program
(APL) 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. The following is a brief
description of each of these means of
assessment:
International Baccalaureate Program
(IB)—Courses earned from the
International Baccalaureate program will
be considered by the College for advanced
placement and appropriate credit. IB exams
may fulfill general education and/or major
requirements, but cannot satisfy graduation-level skill requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office and on the Academic Advising
web site.
Advanced Placement Program
(AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn
credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected
Advanced Placement tests. For some
exams, a minimum score of 4 is required.
AP exams may fulfill general education
and/or major requirements, but cannot satisfy graduation-level skill requirements.
Additional information is available on the
Academic Advising web page and from the
Office of the Registrar.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by
the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing
centers. Students who score at or above the
American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination
may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may
fulfill general education and/or major
requirements, but cannot satisfy graduation-level skill requirements. Information
about CLEP tests is available from the
Office of the Registrar and the Academic
Advising web page.
Departmental Comprehensive
Exams—These are available for students
to use in obtaining credit for previous
learning if the following conditions
are met:
• There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question.
• There is a faculty member designated
by the department to administer the exam.
• The registrar approves the student’s
request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis
only, and there is a charge per exam of
$400 for a full course credit.
92 Academic Information
The Portfolio Assessment
Program—This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning
portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of two faculty
members from fields of study directly related
to the student’s previous learning. Students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous
learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria:
• There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or
systematic study of content material found
within liberal arts coursework.
• The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
• The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
• The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals.
• The learning and skills involved are
current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit
assessment process after completing at
least four credits of academic work at
Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be
used when four or fewer courses remain
for graduation. There is a non-refundable
application deposit of $200 to initiate the
credit assessment process for each course
presented in a portfolio. An additional
$200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit is available on a P/N credit
basis only.
Transcript credit will be recorded with
the equivalent Augsburg course numbers
as determined by faculty reviewers.
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 campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) to be obtained through previous
experiential learning. In compiling the
eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination
of the five assessment processes available in
the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams,
IB exams, departmental comprehensive
exams, and credit granted through portfolio
assessment.
■ ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
(ELL)
Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the
ELL placement test in conjunction with
the English writing placement test prior to
registering for their first term at Augsburg.
Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101
Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON
111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be
determined by their scores on the
Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption
from ELL courses) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the
English Language Learner’s course, an
objective test will be administered to all
students in the class. The score on this test
and the grade earned in the class will
determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to
100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will
fulfill the student’s ELL requirement.
Academic Information 93
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENL
217/218 until such time that they pass the
ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher.
The ELL course can be counted only twice
in the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Committee to re-enroll. Students who have
been dismissed may apply for readmission
after one year, at which time the Student
Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any
statements and evidence attesting to his or
her commitment to academic success.
Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course
completion, have completed the Modern
Language Core Skill requirement for
graduation.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches
2.00. Students placed on probation as firstyears for having earned two zero grades
may be removed from probation if their
classification changes to sophomore, if
they have not earned additional zero
grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 2.00. Students placed on probation as
sophomores for having earned three zero
grades may be removed from probation if
their classification changes to junior and
their cumulative GPA reaches 2.00.
■ ACADEMIC PROGRESS,
PROBATION, AND DISMISSAL
The College requires that all students
maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point
average (GPA).
It should be noted that a minimum GPA
of 2.00 is required for graduation, with certain majors requiring a higher minimum
GPA.
Students whose overall academic
achievement falls below a 2.00 GPA will
either be placed on scholastic probation at
the end of the term or will be continued on
probation or will be dismissed from the
College. In addition, a first-year who
receives two zero grades or a sophomore,
junior, or senior who receives three zero
grades will be considered for probation or
dismissal. However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Student Standing
Committee. Evidence of the student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration in deciding whether or not
to dismiss a student. Students who have a
poor academic record may be strongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a
term. Those on probation who voluntarily
withdraw from the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have special permission from the Student Standing
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
Dean’s List
The Dean’s List, compiled after each
semester, lists undergraduate students
whose grade point average for a semester is
3.50 or better. Students must be full-time
students (a minimum equivalent of three
full course credits for a weekday schedule
student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes in courses offered for credit.
Courses taken outside of a program’s calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a
Weekend College trimester term by a day
student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when
determining the Dean’s List. If permission
is given by the student, an announcement
94 Academic Information
is sent to the hometown newspaper for
those students on the Dean’s List.
Latin Honors
Augsburg recognizes those students
who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a baccalaureate
degree.
This designation and the standards set
are in effect for all students who complete
degree requirements in May 2004 or later.
Latin honors replaces the previous honors
designation of “With Distinction.” Students
may also receive honors recognition for
departmental honors and for participation
in the honors program. (See individual
department and program descriptions for
details.)
Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00 GPA plus
successful completion of the summa oral
examination
Magna cum laude: 3.80-3.89 GPA
Cum laude: 3.60-3.79 GPA
To be eligible, a student must complete
a minimum of fourteen traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more
than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N
by the department will not be counted).
For additional information, including
the guidelines for the Summa Cum Laude
oral examination, go to the Latin Honors
section at <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/
registrar>.
Graduation and Commencement
Though the terms are often confused,
the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings.
Graduation refers to the completion of all
degree requirements. Students graduate
when all requirements for the degree have
been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year
provided that all requirements are complete.
Commencement is a ceremony. It is an
opportunity for students, family, friends,
and the Augsburg College community to
celebrate academic accomplishment.
Participation in commencement, however,
does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a
degree will not be conferred until all
requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement.
Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to
accommodate the College’s different student populations. The May commencement ceremony is for students in the Day
undergraduate program and for students in
the Physician Assistant Studies graduate
program. The June commencement ceremony is for students in the other five graduate programs as well as undergraduate
students in Weekend College, Rochester
campus, and the Partner Hospitals program.
Undergraduate students who have not
completed all degree requirements may
participate in commencement if: (1) no
more than three requirements will remain
in their program at the conclusion of
spring term; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or
fall terms immediately following commencement.

DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS
A
s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge and truth
are interrelated and are integrated into a
whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth
into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses that
make it more accessible to students. These
courses can be arranged in various ways to
construct majors, to create the substance
of a broad general education, and to give
students the opportunity to study areas of
particular individual interest.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS.
Descriptions of courses are arranged by
departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach,
requirements, and evaluations for a
particular course can be obtained from
the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals,
and its place in the College’s program. A
listing of requirements for individual
majors and minors follows the narrative.
Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In
general, classes are offered fall and/or
spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The schedule of classes offered through the
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC) for fall and spring terms is only
available online.
Weekend College classes are available
online.
Since some courses are offered alternate
years, it is important that the student
review major requirements and course
offerings with an adviser to ensure that all
requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for Summer
Session, the Master of Arts in Education,
Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of
Arts in Nursing, Master of Business
Administration, Master of Science in
Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of
Social Work courses are published in a
separate Graduate Studies catalog.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are
offered. Unless noted, all courses are one
course credit. A full course is valued as
four semester credits or six quarter hours.
Most day program courses meet for three
60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required
for laboratory work. All full credit
Weekend College courses meet for eight
three-and-one-half-hour sessions during
fall and for seven four-hour sessions during winter and spring term.
Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are lower
division courses. Courses numbered 300
and above are classified as upper division.
In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores,
300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors.
Departments and Programs 99
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before
enrolling in a higher level course are listed
in the course description as prerequisites.
A student may enroll in a course when a
prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there
is prior approval by the professor teaching
the course. Some prerequisites (such as
ENL 111, math placement, and critical
thinking) cannot be waived by the
instructor.
NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all
schedules. Refer to Augnet Records and
Registration for information on when specific courses are offered.
INTERNSHIPS AND
.
INDEPENDENT STUDIES.
Every department offers opportunities
for internships and independent study. The
course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional
statements that can be found in the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary
internships are also available.
■ INTERNSHIPS
Registration for internships consists of
the following steps:
1. Obtain the internship registration
permission form and secure the signatures
of the faculty supervisor and director of
the Center for Service, Work, and
Learning.
2. Register: Turn in the completed
internship registration form (with all signatures) to the Enrollment Center. You
must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience.
3. A learning agreement (forms are
available in the Center for Service, Work,
and Learning) must be completed with
the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the
Center for Service, Work, and Learning,
with copies made for the faculty supervisor and student.

heart of a major metropolitan area. We balance a solid foundation of drawing, design,
and history with technical skills, critical
thinking, and creative exploration in a
range of media. On-campus galleries showcase the work of students as well as established artists. An innovative faculty pairs
creative curriculum for traditional disciplines in drawing, painting, ceramics,
sculpture, and photography with emerging
disciplines in hand papermaking, book
arts, architecture, and digital media. Class
sizes are small; we will get to know each
other.
Galleries and museums surround us;
art club, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time; service learning,
internships, and study abroad are integral
to our program. We reach an average of
700 students a year from all disciplines,
graduating 25-30 majors annually with
B.A. degrees in art history, studio art, art
education; and certificates in studio art and
graphic design.
For over 40 years, students have been
earning degrees in art and art history at
Augsburg College. We’re excited to be here
in the center of the city. We think you will
be, too.

BIOLOGY—BIO
W
e are in the midst of a revolution in biology. From the unraveling of
information locked within the human and
other genomes to the complexities of interactions between organisms in diverse
ecosystems in changing environments,
biologists and members of the public are
grappling with an almost overwhelming
flood of new information. By focusing on
the core principles of biology, students are
given the tools with which to interpret
results coming out of the revolution, and
by early exposure to original independent
research projects, given the opportunity to
themselves contribute to our understanding of the natural world. Integration across
biological sub-disciplines is emphasized,
paralleling the integration taking place in
the maturing field of systems biology. As
biological phenomena become amenable to
the analytical tools of chemistry, physics,
mathematics and computer science, biology is increasingly a multidisciplinary venture, Thus, a firm background in these sciences is also important for the successful
study of biology. Biological forces have
many profound effects on society and in
turn humanity has strongly affected our
biosphere. Thus, service-learning opportunities are tightly integrated within the curricula.
For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves as a springboard for further
study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to
graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to careers in college or university
teaching, basic and applied research, and
public health. Many have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary
medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates
Biology 115
have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical and biotechnology industries, laboratory research, natural
resources, and environmental education.

these skills.
Transfer course policy for majors and
minors
All transfer courses, including ACTC
courses, must be approved in writing by
the department, subject to review by the
chair. Only those biology courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the
last 10 years will be considered. No more
than two upper division courses from
other institutions may be applied toward
the major.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS.
In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with
members of the biology faculty. Biology
majors must have an adviser in the biology
department. BIO 151 and 152 and
Principles of Chemistry (or General
Chemistry) should be taken in the first
year, and BIO 253 and Organic Chemistry
(when appropriate) in the second year.
Students should complete their math
requirements early in their college careers.
A GPA of 2.00 for BIO 151, 152, and 253
is a prerequisite for enrollment in upper
division biology courses. A grade of 2.00
or above is required for all upper division
courses applied toward the major.
Biology for Health Sciences
GPA of 3.50 in biology and 3.00 overall, one course of approved independent
study (BIO 499) or a research internship
combined with BIO 498, public presentation of results along with a written report.
Project proposals should be made to the
department by Sept. 30 of the senior year
or Feb. 28 in the case of students planning
to graduate in the following December.
Prerequisite requirements for health
sciences vary with the program and the
institution. Care should be taken to study
the requirements for every program well in
advance of making application. In general,
medical schools require a two semester
sequences in calculus, physics and organic
chemistry. Biochemistry is also commonly
required and in some instances statistics
and literature. Programs in physician assistant training, veterinary medicine, physical
therapy and such typically have a more
extensive list of prerequisites. Students
considering a post-baccalaureate program
in these areas should consult early and
often with health science advisers — Dixie
Shafer and Dale Pederson.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
Majors
The Department of Business
Administration offers five majors: business
administration (BUS), accounting (ACC),
finance (FIN), management information
systems (MIS), and marketing (MKT—day

Specializations
Specializations provide students majoring in a field of study the opportunity to
deepen their knowledge of a particular
aspect of this major area. Within the business administration major there are four
specializations: management, marketing
(WEC only), music business, and international business. Within the accounting
major there are three specializations: general accounting, public accounting, and
managerial accounting.
Minors
Minors provide students the opportunity to study and obtain a professional credential in an area of study that is in addition to their major. Minors are available to
students majoring in fields outside the
Department of Business Administration, in
addition to students majoring in other
areas in the Department of Business
Administration. The Department of
Business Administration offers six minors:
business administration, international business, music business, accounting, management information systems, and marketing.
Certificate Programs
Certificate programs in the Department
of Business Administration are designed to
meet the needs of working people looking
for specific skills to help them in their job,

CHEMISTRY—CHM
C
hemistry is the science that examines and works toward understanding
changes in matter. Chemistry has been
described as the central science because
matter includes the entire physical world,
such as the things we use, the food we eat,
and even ourselves. Correlating the
insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas
that excite and offer opportunities to better
the entire world.
Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their
work, including potential problems as well
as benefits.
Chemists as people must be broadly
educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as
offered in the general education curriculum is imperative if a chemist is to be both
truly human and truly scientific.
The department is on the list of
approved schools of the American
Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists:
•To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS chemistry
major to compete successfully with their
peers of similar ability in graduate school
or research positions.
•To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the traditional positions as chemists.
•To provide an atmosphere of learning
so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may
change after graduation, and be able to
move into new areas as opportunities arise.
•To encourage students to take a broad
view of their education and to integrate
outside study areas with the sciences.
•To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example
of the methodology of the natural sciences
in examining the world around us. The
presentation of major concepts underlying
the changes in matter, the opportunity to
examine change in the physical world, and
the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will
enhance the ability of non-science persons
to make better value judgments concerning
science questions in their own endeavors.

CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE—CLS
C
linical laboratory scientists perform
complex biological, microbiological, and
chemical tests on patient samples. They
also use, maintain, and troubleshoot
sophisticated laboratory equipment in the
performance of diagnostic tests. The clinical laboratory scientist analyzes these test
results and discusses them with the medical staff. He/she also possesses the skills
required for molecular diagnostic tests
based on DNA and RNA technologies. In
addition, the clinical laboratory scientist
will find opportunities in test development, experimental design, administration,
and education.
The curriculum requires a minimum of
six semesters on campus to complete the
pre-requisite curriculum. Students spend
an additional 12 months of clinical education in a hospital-sponsored, accredited
program during their senior year. A bachelor of science degree is awarded at the satisfactory completion of all required course
work.
Admission to the clinical laboratory science major is on a competitive basis.
Students apply for admission to the clinical
laboratory science program early in the fall
semester of the academic year just prior to
the beginning of their professional studies,
typically in the junior year. Formal acceptance into the hospital-sponsored program
is based on the submission of an application for admission to the major, personal
recommendations, review of academic performance, and interview with the Program
Admission Committee. A minimum grade
point average of 2.75 overall as well as in
science and mathematics courses is strongly recommended. Acceptance into the hospital program is not guaranteed by the
College. The hospital program affiliated
with Augsburg is the Fairview Health
Services. The program is accredited by the
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical
Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 W.
Bryn Mawr, Suite 670, Chicago, IL, 60631,

he Augsburg computer science
department strives to give students a sound
theoretical and practical foundation in
computer science. We offer both a B.A. and
a B.S. major. The coursework provides students a strong base in computer science,
with emphasis on concepts rather than on
applications. We encourage students to
strengthen their coursework by electing an
internship or cooperative education experience. Our location in the Twin Cities provides us with an excellent resource of such
experiences for students, and allows them
to add practical applications to their education.

ECONOMICS—ECO
T
he Department of Economics offers a
program that stresses a strong theoretical
background, quantitative analysis, and an
emphasis on national and international
issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or
to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts
emphasis within the major.
The department offers five majors. The
economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business
world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into
the field of computer science. The combined economics/business administration
major allows students great flexibility in
order to explore both fields. Finally, the
teaching major in political science/economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid
background for teaching economics.
The study of economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze and
make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership
and leads to a great diversity of career
opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international
service. Pre-law and potential Master of
Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as
a major or a minor.
Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such
as business administration, international
relations, mathematics, management information systems, political science, history,
and area study programs. Students who are
interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in
business are encouraged to either major or
minor in mathematics. These students
should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course
suggestions.
Augsburg offers degrees in economics,
applied economics, business and economics, computational economics, and economics and political science (education
majors only.) For the economics and
applied economics majors, the capstone
experience is Economics 490 Research
Methods in Econometrics. Students in
other majors should consult their adviser
for other alternatives.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the department chair
and the internship office before registering
for academic credit.
Note: Transfer students must complete
at least three upper division economics
courses for a major and two for a minor.
Transfer classes must have been completed
in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0
grade.

ENGINEERING
A
ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements with two universities to
allow students to earn a bachelor of arts
degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University
of Minnesota Institute of Technology,
Minneapolis; 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. Contact Jeff
Johnson, Physics Department,
612-330-1070.
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides
for two dual degree engineering programs:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of
Engineering (B.A./B.E.) enables students
to 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 Institute 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
Institute of Technology may be completed
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg.
179
Bachelor of Arts/Master of
Engineering (B.A./M.E.) 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 Institute of
Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the
B.A./B.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./M.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 Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
180 Engineering
Michigan Technological University
This program enables students to
receive a bachelor of arts degree from
Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering
degree from 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 will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and
are recommended by the engineering
adviser of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore
opportunities for graduate work at
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
to apply to the engineering school of their
choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and
academic performance as criteria.
DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.
Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual-degree or three-two programs:
CHM 115 General Chemistry
CHM 116 General Chemistry

PHY 121, 122 are taken in the first year.
Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351, 352.
ENGLISH—ENL
T
hose who study English believe that
an intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
are and who they can become. Writing
helps all of us clarify and share our
thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence.
Through the study of English we see life’s
complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which
we live and work. Students majoring in
English have the opportunity to choose
one of four concentrations: Literature,
Language and Theory; Media Writing;
Creative Writing; and Secondary Licensure
in Communication Arts/Literature.
English relates closely to other majors.
With the other arts, English is concerned
with the pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of
works of art. With psychology and sociology,
English is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy, English
is interested in ideas and in the relation
between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering
order and determining structures. With
speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at different times
and in various cultures.
The Augsburg Department of English
integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities of this vital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or
recommended plays, films, and readings
available near the campus. English majors
have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through working in internships
on and off campus, tutoring English
Language Learners (ELL) students, or
tutoring in the writing lab.
181
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.
Choosing a Concentration
The English Literature, Language, and
Theory concentration provides students
various approaches to the life-enhancing
study of the written word and visual text.
Spotlight courses focus on specific authors,
genres, or themes, and provoke discovery
of new literary experiences. Courses in
African American, Native American, Asian
American, and post colonial literatures
reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English,
American, and world literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a
classically structured framework of study.
Courses in literary theory demand the
intense and intellectually challenging
engagement of text, culture, and self.
While some of our courses foreground
theoretical approaches to literature and
deeply examine race, class, and gender in
the consideration of their subject matter,
all of our courses infuse these concerns
into their engagement with primary works
182 English
of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, film,
and drama.
All literature classes involve students in
dynamic and enjoyable literary examination, and are taught by professors who love
teaching and who love literature. Our
classes develop and demand the skills of
aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical
reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing — skills of the
educated and employable citizen.
The literature, language, and theory
concentration offers courses of study crosslisted with American Indian Studies, Art,
Communication Studies, Film, Theatre
Arts, and Women’s Studies.
The English Writing concentration is
for students who intend to develop professional skills in either Creative or Media
Writing. Over the course of their study,
students will master terminology; understand historical, legal, and ethical issues
relevant to the field; and study the works
of established writers and professionals.
The writing major emphasizes expanding
competencies in observation, research, and
analysis that enable writers to gather material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work. Writing majors will
understand the interdisciplinary demands
inherent in creative and media writing
(including issues of design) and will
enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic
possibilities inherent in the writing life.
Writing courses are taught by dedicated
professors who are practicing writers themselves. The writing concentration offers
courses of study cross-listed with Art,
Communication Studies, and Theater Arts.
The Communication Arts/Literature
Teacher Licensure major is for students
who seek to be licensed to teach in
Minnesota in Communication
Arts/Literature. Students are encouraged to
take courses toward their major during the
first and sophomore years, and to apply for
the education licensure program no later
than the spring of their junior year.
Students in both programs must work
with advisers in the English department
and the education department in order to
meet the professional requirements within
the education department as well as the
requirements for the major. Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be
achieved through an English major, which
requires at least two additional, specific
courses, or through a Communication
Studies major.
Graduation Skills
Graduation skills in Critical Thinking
(CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are
embedded throughout the offered courses
and are met by completing the major.
Consult your department chair or academic adviser for requirements for meeting the
Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation
skill.
Transfer students must consult an
adviser about potential adjustments to
their course requirements to fulfill each of
these skills.
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.

A writing sample is required of students
to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in
composition must have a score of 4 or 5.
Students who do not show competence in
composition skills—such as stating and
supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and
constructing paragraphs and sentences—are
required to enroll in Developmental Writing
(ENL 101) where they receive more individual instruction than is possible in
Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing
(ENL 101) with a grade of 2.0 or higher
before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL
111).
Note: Students should register for ENL
101 during the first semester of attendance
if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111
should be completed, if possible, during
the first year.
Students in Developmental Writing
(ENL 101), Effective Writing (ENL 111),
HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional grading system or P/N grading in
English 185
consultation with their instructor up
through the last week of class (without
special permission/petition). Students who
choose to receive a traditional grade in
either course will receive a grade of N (one
time only) if their work is below a 2.0. A
student who repeats ENL 101 or 111 and
does not receive a grade of 2.0 or higher,
will receive a grade of 0.0.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
E
nvironmental studies is the interdisciplinary investigation of human relations
with the natural environment. The program pursues a multifaceted examination
— across the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional studies
— of the interdependence shared by people
and nature. It provides an understanding
of the material world as well as the ecological, social, and cultural processes and
problems that bind that world together.
Through the study of politics, biology, literature, chemistry, social work, economics,
and history, environmental studies students
focus on the most pressing local, regional,
national, and global issues of our day.
Augsburg College’s location in the city
offers a particular opportunity for the close
study of complex urban environments.
Although many equate environmental
issues with rural areas, most people live in
cities. Urban residents shape nature in
innumerable ways, including through energy, food, and water consumption, transportation, and industrial production. In
turn, cities often serve as the settings in
which environmental injustice flourishes.
With that in mind, Augsburg’s environmental studies program fosters the simultaneous study of ecological quality and social
justice.
The program provides undergraduate
training leading to a B.A. or a minor in
Environmental Studies. Upon completion
of the program, students will be able to
comprehend ecological processes, recognize the many and varied forms of nature
in the city, distinguish stakeholders’ interests in policy debates, decipher the context
and variety of human experiences in
nature, identify inequities in the access to
and use of natural resources, and articulate
responses grounded in multiple discipli-
nary insights to current urban environmental challenges. Drawing on their experiences in settings as diverse as the CedarRiverside neighborhood, the upper
Mississippi River Valley, and Mexico, graduates of the program pursue vocations in
non-profit organizations, government policy and planning positions, law, education,
ministry, and corporate settings.

HISTORY—HIS
H
istory is to society what memory is
to an individual; it brings to a civilization
an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed
it this way: “No community can survive
and no institution can function without
constant reference to past experience. We
are ruled by precedents fully as much as by
laws, which is to say that we are ruled by
the collective memory of the past. It is the
memory of common experiences that
makes scattered individuals into a community.”
The study of history enables us to deal
more knowledgeably with continuity and
change in society. The construction of an
informed sense of our past is a fundamental
ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the
future. History majors are prepared to be
active and contributing members of their
society. The study of history, which has
long held a major role in the liberal arts,
is an entry to elementary and secondary
education, graduate study in many fields,
and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing
of information.

HONORS PROGRAM—HON
T
he Augsburg Honors Program offers
an adventurous education where students
with a passion for ideas can be their best.
We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike
any other honors program in the nation
because it gives students the resources and
freedom to build their own ideal higher
education. Students have the opportunity
to create their own courses, edit and write
for the Augsburg Honors Review of
Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in
an intramural debate league, belong to an
Honors House, and learn through small
reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and
includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great
books on trial, or building an interactive
museum exhibit. Honors courses bring in
professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented
professors teaching their specialties.
For information, please contact Robert
C. Groven, Honors Program Director,
e-mail at <honors@augsburg.edu>.
Honors Program Recognition
Students who finish the Honors
Program requirements satisfy all general
education requirements, except those for
physical education and modern language.

Student-Created Learning Experiences
(SCLE)
Honors students may learn through
established courses or through studentcreated learning experiences. These student created experiences may substitute for
Honors curricular requirements, or may
simply enrich a student’s education. Such
student-created experiences may count
toward requirements in majors and satisfy
Honors requirements at the same time, or
simply be an elective.
Student-created learning experiences
may take any form. Some possible forms
include:
• Student Created courses (created in collaboration with faculty)
• Full course (10-20 students)
• Reading Groups (2-9 students)
• Individual Reading and Examination
(individual study)

AND
CROSS-CULTURAL
T
he Department of Languages and
Cross-cultural Studies at Augsburg College
contributes in many ways to realizing the
College’s mission of providing liberal arts
education for service in today’s world. The
department is committed to the view that
education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an
essential step in the development of a truly
global perspective.
The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors
in French, German, Norwegian, and
Spanish. (A major in cross-cultural studies
is being developed. See department chair
or Academic Advising for details.)
Introductory courses in Ojibwe and
American Sign Language are offered at
Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese,
Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg
students through the College’s affiliation
with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities
colleges.
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation,
but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions.
Students anticipating careers in international business, social work, the diplomatic
corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or
minor in languages. In addition,
a minor in languages or linguistics is a
valuable research tool for those intending
to pursue graduate study in most academic
disciplines.

MATHEMATICS—MAT
M
athematics is the study of structure and relationships and provides tools
for solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world
from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the
problem solving and quantitative reasoning
skills that are increasingly expected of
every member of contemporary society.
Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts
education.
Students majoring in mathematics
acquire the skills necessary to serve society
through a variety of careers. In addition to
acquiring computational and problem solving skills, mathematics majors at Augsburg
develop their abilities to reason abstractly;
to conjecture, critique, and justify their
assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and
comprehend precise mathematical writing;
to speak and write about mathematical
ideas; and to experience working in teams
on mathematical projects. Students can
prepare for graduate school, for work in
business, industry, or non-profit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in
grades K-12. Students majoring in many
disciplines find it helpful to acquire a
minor or a second major in mathematics.
Students may choose coursework supporting the study of mathematics as a liberal art, its applications to science and
engineering, its applications to actuarial
science, computing, or economics, or in
preparation to teach. Augsburg’s urban
location allows students to gain experience
working with mathematics through internships, cooperative education, and the colloquium course.

MEDIEVAL STUDIES
T
HIS 370 Late Middle Ages
HUM 499 Keystone, Medieval Studies
Project
The major in Medieval Studies fulfills
the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal
arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages,
students majoring in Medieval Studies find
a model context for the pursuit of a liberal
arts degree in the modern world.
One (1) of the following religion or philosophy courses:
HIS 372 Medieval Church
PHI 242 Medieval and Renaissance
Philosophy
REL 361 Church in the First Four
Centuries
REL 362 Theology of the Reformers
he objective of Medieval Studies is to
introduce students to the culture of the
Middle Ages — its diverse history and
beliefs, its arts and literature — and to the
disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills
necessary for its serious study.
As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies
prepares students for life beyond college.
Because of its emphasis on precise reading
and analysis of texts, careful writing, and
spirited discussion, the major in Medieval
Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as
employment opportunities that require
abilities in communication, critical and
abstract thinking, and processing information.

COURSES.
HUM 120
Medieval Life in 12th-Century Europe (Medieval Connections)
This is the introductory course for Medieval Studies. It uses an interdisciplinary approach to study European culture during a period known as the High
Middle Ages, roughly AD 1100 to 1300. It attempts to examine medieval culture as a complex system of thought and feeling, which includes history, religion, philosophy, literature, art, theatre, music, and food. It also takes an experiential approach to this material, for example, by having students and faculty
attend class in academic regalia, just as they did in medieval universities.

METRO-URBAN STUDIES—INS
M
etro-Urban studies is a multidisciplinary major and minor taught by faculty
in sociology, economics, history, political
science, social work, art, and other related
disciplines. Metro-Urban studies is designed
to blend classroom, theory, field studies, and
internships that focus the content of liberal
learning on the metropolitan community
and the process of urbanization.
Metro-Urban studies introduces students to the wide variety of careers related
to urban and metropolitan affairs and
equip students with the analytical and theoretical tools required to understand and
contribute to the metropolitan community.
The Metro-Urban studies major and minor
also provide undergraduate preparation for
postgraduate studies in planning, architecture, law, public administration, environmental studies, social welfare, government,
community organization, and theology.
Internships, community service-learning,
and cooperative education are available as
ways to enhance the quality of the major and
make fuller use of the extensive metropolitan opportunities afforded by the College’s
location. The Higher Education Consortium
for Urban Affairs (HECUA) and Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) enrich
the overall program with additional courses
and semester-long programs.

NORDIC AREA STUDIES—NAS
N
ordic area studies is an interdisciplinary program. The curriculum treats
Norden (Denmark, Finland, Iceland,
Norway, and Sweden) not only as a geographical area, but as an integrated cultural
region with a shared history, common values, and a high degree of political, social,
and economic interdependency. Courses in
Nordic area studies postulate a Nordic
regional identity as a context in which to
appreciate the differences between the five
individual countries and to understand the
complexity of their interactions among
themselves and the global community.
Coordinator
Frankie Shackelford
Major
Eight courses, six of which must be upper
division.

Other Requirements
At least four of the courses required for
the major must be Augsburg courses. The
remainder may be transfer credits included
in the major on approval of the program
coordinator. Students graduating with a
major or minor must also present the
equivalent of intermediate level competence in a Scandinavian language. See
Norwegian language course listings under
the Department of Modern Languages.

Study abroad through International
Partners, or SUST (See International
Studies, International Partners, and
Scandinavian Urban Studies Term); independent study in Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Finland, or Iceland; elective
courses or a second major such as
Norwegian, history, political science, urban
studies, business administration, international relations, sociology, or social work.

NURSING—NUR
T
he Augsburg Department of Nursing
is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities
in the healthcare field.
The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding; nurses practice in hospitals, clinics, corporations, parishes, government agencies, schools, and community
organizations, or in their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses provide
comprehensive health care for persons,
groups, and communities of diverse cultures and socioeconomic levels throughout
the life span.
The bachelor’s degree equips nurses to
synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts
with the art and science of nursing. The
nursing program at Augsburg also provides
educational opportunities to increase skills
in critical thinking, clinical investigation,
and decision-making in preparation for
challenging new nursing positions in
emerging care systems.
Augsburg’s nursing program, which
leads to a bachelor of science degree with a
major in nursing, is fully accredited by the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing
Education (CCNE). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for a public
health nurse registration certificate
through the Minnesota State Board of
Nursing.

Options for Completing the Degree
Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a
variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be
taken into account in any decision to work
toward a college degree. For this reason,
Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a nursing
degree.
Nursing courses at Augsburg are available evenings and weekends. Nursing
classes usually meet on alternate weekday
evenings for three-to-four-hour time
blocks. Clinical practicum requirements
usually occur on weekdays. Optional
immersion practicums abroad are scheduled throughout the year. Check with the
Department of Nursing for details.
It is recommended that most liberal arts
courses be taken before starting the nursing major. Nursing majors can complete
courses toward the baccalaureate at the
Minneapolis campus; at United, Mercy,
Unity, and Children’s Hospitals in St. Paul,
Coon Rapids, and Fridley, Minn.; and in
Rochester, Minn.

PHILOSOPHY—PHI
P
hilosophy is in an important sense
the most fundamental of the disciplines.
All of the sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, it is concerned with asking and answering the
“big” questions that are the most basic. For
example, Is there a God? Is there life after
death? Are there absolute moral standards?
What kind of life is the best? What is
knowledge and what are its sources?
Students learn to ask and answer these
and other similar questions for themselves
through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by the study of
philosophers from the past and present.
The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy,
while others use the major to prepare for
other professional studies such as law,
medicine, the Christian ministry, or journalism.

department emphasizing areas of interest
in which philosophy and computer science
overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the
major is to augment the technical skills of
a computer scientist with the creativity and
liberal arts perspective of a philosopher.
The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an
excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See Computer
Science for course listing.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the philosophy honors
program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations

Five courses, including two from
PHI 241, 242, 343, and 344.
PHILOSOPHY COURSES.
PHI 110
Introduction to Philosophy
This course introduces students to typical philosophical questions (how we
know, if we can have certain knowledge, if there are universal moral principles, whether God exists, the nature of the mind, etc.), to philosophical
vocabulary, and to critical thinking and what it means to view the world
philosophically.
PHI 120
Ethics
By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they
use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical
approaches to evaluating moral actions and then applies them to contemporary issues. The Christian tradition will inform the considerations. Students
who receive credit for PHI 120 may not receive credit for PHI 125.
PHI 125
Ethics and Human Identity
A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, emotions, and
action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. Beginning by asking what the
end or purpose of human life is, students decide on the moral and intellectual
virtues required to reach the end. Topics of friendship and human love are followed by an analysis of human happiness. Students who receive credit for PHI
125 may not receive credit for PHI 120.
PHI 175
Philosophy of Love and Sex
The nature and history of romantic love. The ethics of sex in relation to love,
marriage, the institution of monogamy, and homosexuality are considered.
PHI 230
Logic
Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn the
rules that govern valid arguments and develop their ability to recognize and
construct sound arguments. The last part of the course focuses on informal
logic and inductive reasoning.
PHI 241
History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy
Central philosophical questions that concerned the Greek philosophers from
Thales to Plotinus and still concern us today: the nature of reality and its relationship to language and reason, the immortality of the soul, the nature of
truth and human knowledge, and the nature of the good life.
PHI 242
History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
Students will read writings by various medieval and Renaissance philosophers
in order to understand the process of philosophical assimilation involved in
constructing a Christian philosophy. Topics include: the nature of being,
human understanding in relation to faith, and the place of the image of God in
the human condition. (Suggested prior course: PHI 241. Spring)
280 Philosophy
PHI 260
Philosophy and the Arts
Philosophical issues raised and illustrated by painting, sculpture, literature,
music, architecture, and film: the truth and falsehood of aesthetic judgment,
the definition of art; the nature of aesthetic experience, the evaluation of art,
creativity, the relation between the artist’s intention, the work of art, and its
relation to the rest of the artistic tradition. For arts majors and students with a
strong background in the arts.
PHI 343
History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century
Philosophy
We study the major rationalists of the 17th century (Descartes, Spinoza,
Leibniz), the major empiricists of the 18th century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume),
Kant’s synthesis of rationalism and empiricism, and 19th-century Idealism and
the reaction to it (Marx, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Mill).
PHI 344
History of Philosophy IV: 20th-21st Century Philosophy
The course surveys the major philosophical schools in the 20th and 21st centuries: analytic philosophy, phenomenology, existentialism, pragmatism, and
post-modern philosophy. Focus of study is on major texts of these movements.
PHI 350
Philosophy of Religion
We systematically investigate a series of philosophical questions about religion. What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and if so,
what can be said about God? Can God’s goodness be reconciled with human
suffering? Are miracles and life after death possible?
PHI 355
Asian Philosophy
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies that underlie Hinduism,
Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. We focus on analyzing diverse views of
reality, the self, ways of knowing, and recommendations on how to live.
PHI 365
Philosophy of Science
The course explores what scientific knowledge is, whether the scientist’s
knowledge of the world is profoundly different and better than that of the
non-scientist, and what degrees of certainty are yielded by scientific methods.
(Suggested prior course: one course in natural science)
PHI 370
Existentialism
Studies in the writings—both philosophical and literary—of prominent existentialist authors. The course examines what it means to be a being-in-theworld and explores such themes as absurdity, freedom, guilt, despair, and paradox. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy. Alternate years)
PHI 380
Ethics of Medicine and Health Care
The course discusses some fundamental ethical theories, which it then carefully applies to problems that arise in the areas of health care and delivery, allocation of scarce resources, human experimentation, genetic engineering, abortion, care for the dying, and euthanasia.
Philosophy 281
PHI 385
Introduction to Formal Logic and Computation Theory
An introduction to sentential and first-order logic including logical connectives, proof theory, and quantification. Formal models of computation including finite state automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines.

PHYSICS—PHY
P
hysicists are a curious and ambitious
lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern
all physical aspects of the universe.
Historically called “natural philosophers,”
physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical
analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to
the largest galaxies and from the relative
stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery
activity of stars. Physics plays an important
role in many of the liberal arts disciplines
and contributes to society’s understanding
of such areas as energy, weather, medical
science, and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and the need to keep
abreast of rapid technological advances,
the department strives to give students not
only an understanding of basic concepts,
but also insights into recent developments.
A rigorous major provides students with
the preparation required for graduate study
in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work
in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The
department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that
enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science.
These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to
follow new developments in science with
heightened awareness and comprehension.
The department supervises the preengineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities
at both the bachelor’s and advanced degree
levels, and administers Augsburg College’s
portion of funds designated for the
Minnesota Space Grant College
Consortium, funded by NASA. It also
maintains active research programs
through its Center for Atmospheric and
Space Sciences and the Sverdrup
Laboratory for Biophysics, with support
from the National Science Foundation,
NASA, and other private and public
sources. Several students work as research
assistants in these efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative
education, internship, and undergraduate
research programs provide opportunities
for students to apply their knowledge and
problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

POLITICAL SCIENCE—POL
F
irmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science shares concerns
with the humanities, other behavioral sciences, and mathematics and the sciences.
The role and significance of authority in
human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced
faculty that offers courses in all major
areas of political science, and also possesses special expertise in the areas of campaigns and elections, comparative and
international politics, mass communications and other information technolgoy,
racial and ethnic politics, and American
public law.
Political scientists use systematic
inquiry and analysis to examine political
reality. The student who majors in political
science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and
conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student
will be encouraged to relate insights from
other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history, and
sociology to the study of politics.
Providing work in several subfields of
political sciene, the major supplies the
breadth appropriate for graduate work in
political science, public administration,
public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on
which to develop careers in public service,
business, communications, and other
fields. Legislative and other internships, as
well as significant independent research
projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg
political science students in the Twin Cities
area. Combined with broad, balanced, and
flexible course offerings, these special
opportunities enhance the student’s potential for graduate study and a successful
career.

PSYCHOLOGY—PSY
P
sychology is an exploration of
behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding
of individual and group behavior. The
study of psychology equips students to
understand and use the scientific method
to think creatively and critically beyond
the classroom. To prepare students for
graduate study and work in psychology,
the major emphasizes the complementary
components of a strong foundation in
research and theoretical work with the
application of knowledge and skills in
coursework, research experiences, and
internships within the community. The
curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential
dimensions of learning and the integration
of liberal arts and professional domains
prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social
services, research, law, government,
church, and medicine.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling,
physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in psychological
applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through
a variety of learning experiences including
group and individual projects, association
with Augsburg’s active Psychology Club,
Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student
research teams.

RELIGION, YOUTH

R
eligion asks questions and seeks
answers fundamental to humanity’s search
for meaning: Who are we as human
beings? (Who am I?) What is our relationship with each other, with the natural
world, and with God? (What is my place in
the world? What am I called to do?) What
do good and evil mean in this time and
this place? (Do I — or how do I — understand these concepts differently than those
from different times and ages?)
The study of religion, including inquiry
into the history and traditions of
Christianity, exploration of other major
world religious traditions, study and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible and New
Testament, and reflection on vocation, is
central to the mission and vision of
Augsburg College. At the center of the
AugCore, Augsburg’s general education
program, are courses in the Religion
Department. In these courses, students are
challenged and equipped to articulate what
they believe and to see that what they
believe matters. These courses also ground
students who wish to major or minor in
Religion or Youth and Family Ministry,
where they may more explore more deeply
the interpretation of the Bible, church history, theology, world religions, spirituality
and spiritual practices, as well as the practical aspects of the life and work of the
church.
Augsburg is a college of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and
this means that we are eager to engage in
dialogue with Christians of all denominations and with people who practice other
spiritual traditions or claim no religious
beliefs. We challenge all our students to
respect and learn from one another and to
AND

think critically about matters of faith and
reason.

RELIGION—REL
A religion major serves as a strong
foundation in the liberal arts. It prepares
students for professional work and/or graduate studies in a wide array of fields.
Certainly, students interested in seminary
and ministry are well-served by an undergraduate religion degree. Students who
wish to pursue graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, or
church history are also good candidates for
a religion major. Students interested in
graduate studies in most any field in the

a religion degree and the skills of analytic
reading, critical thinking, writing, and
speaking acquired in pursuit of that
degree.

SOCIOLOGY—SOC
S
ociology is the scientific study of
society as a whole and of human social
organization in groups. The sociological
perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how human
beings come to think and act as they do.
The goal of the department is to guide
students in gaining knowledge of the social
order, how it affects them in their daily
lives, and how it can be applied to their
vocation. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
scientific tools of analysis, and practice the
application of sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships,
independent study, and field studies. The
department urges students to use
Augsburg’s metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships, service
learning, and cooperative education enable
majors to apply the theories and research
skills of sociology while they explore
career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who
have majored in sociology are currently
employed in research, management, and
human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the
criminal justice field, and as professors of
sociology. Others have used the major as
preparation for advanced study in areas
such as law, the ministry, social work,
urban planning, and human services.

DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.
Students may choose to pursue the core
sociology major or they may opt for a specialized, interdisciplinary concentration
within the major.
Core Major
Sociology has a long-standing tradition
as an excellent undergraduate major that
applies to a number of fields from human
services to criminal justice to business to
public service. The foundation of the
major at Augsburg is that it provides a
clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the
major, and integrates and reinforces an
excellent set of important skills; those
skills include abstract thinking, writing,
critical analysis, basic research, integration
of theory and data, and the connection of
the individual and collective perspectives
in the unique way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally
develop those skills in our students and
serve them well. Thus, these required and
sequenced courses are also the core of the
concentrations that allow students to pursue their electives in a direction that adds
other skills related to areas of interest.
Those concentrations include: community
studies, crime and deviance, law and society, organizational studies, and social psychology.
The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper division courses from the specified list below:
Core major:
SOC 121 Introduction to Human Society
SOC 362 Statistical Analysis
SOC 363 Research Methods
SOC 485 Sociological Theory
SOC 490 Senior Seminar
Sociology 319
At least three of the following upper-division courses (Prereq: SOC 121):
SOC 320 Sociology of Law
SOC 349 Organizational Theory
SOC 375 Social Psychology
SOC 377 Organizational Deviance
SOC 381 City and Metro-Urban Planning
SOC 387 Juvenile Delinquency
SOC 390 Social Problems Analysis
SOC 410 Field Studies of Organizations
Two additional sociology electives. SOC
399 (Internship) is highly recommended.
Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or better in
each required course to receive credit in
the major.
The Critical Thinking (CT) graduation
skill is embedded throughout the offered
courses and is met by completing the
major. The graduation skills in Speaking
(S) and Writing (W) are embedded within
the core courses — specifically SOC 363,
SOC 485, and SOC 490 — and are met by
completing the major. Consult your
department chair or academic adviser for
requirements for meeting the Quantitative
Reasoning (QR) graduation skill.
Transfer students must consult an
adviser about potential adjustments to
their course requirements to fulfill each of
these skills.
Concentration in Community Studies
This concentration is designed to give
sociology majors a concentration in urban
community studies, which includes an
applied sociology focus emphasizing city
and community planning with a required
internship. Courses required beyond the
core major requirements are: SOC 111,
SOC 381, SOC 399, and one additional
elective. See Garry Hesser for advising and
visit the department website for details.
Concentration in Crime and Deviance
Careers in criminal justice — corrections, federal investigation, probation,
court work, law enforcement and crime
prevention — will be supported by this
concentration in the major. In addition to
the five core major requirements and one
elective, the courses are: Criminology
(SOC 277); three courses from the following four upper division options — Juvenile
Delinquency (SOC 387), Organizational
Deviance (SOC 377), Sociology of Law
(SOC 320), or Social Problems (SOC 390);
one interdisciplinary course — Psychology
and Law (PSY 265) or approved ACTC
elective that meets student interests; and,
an internship in a field related site which
serves as the concentration capstone experience (SOC 399). The total number of
courses for the concentration is 12. Please
see Diane Pike for advising and visit the
department website for details.
Concentration in Law and Society
This concentration is an interdisciplinary concentration that is intended for students who are considering law school and
legal careers such as becoming lawyers or
legal researchers. It emphasizes the development of reasoning and communications
skills as well as courses that address legal
issues. Courses required beyond the core
sociology major requirements include:
Sociology of Law (SOC 320), Sociology of
Organizations (SOC 349), and Internship
(SOC 399), and three courses in related
fields — COM 111, COM 351, and POL
170. See Nancy Fischer for advising and
visit the department website for details.
320 Sociology
Concentration in Organizational
Studies
This concentration is designed for students who plan to work in organizational
settings including corporate, government,
and non-profit sectors. Students will learn
how organizations are structured, function,
and change, how people relate in organizational settings, and how organizations succeed and why they sometimes fail. This
concentration seeks to equip students with
skills to effectively lead and manage organizations, and to succeed within organizations while achieving their personal career
and professional goals. Courses required
beyond the core major requirements are:
Office Space (SOC 222), Sociology of
Organizations (SOC 349), Organizational

THEATRE ARTS—THR
T
he study of theatre is firmly grounded
in the liberal arts, integrating knowledge
and principles from many academic and
artistic disciplines, including communication, art, music, history, English, literature,
business, philosophy, and religion. Both
the curriculum and dramatic productions
by the Theatre Arts Department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for the
campus while also providing a solid base
in classical, modern, contemporary, and
multicultural theatre.
Augsburg’s location in the heart of a
major theatre center makes it an ideal
place to study theatre. At Augsburg we
seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theatre artists and
scholars, by encouraging connections
between our campus and the greater arts
community while also exploring connections between theory and application.
Student opportunity to make these connections includes course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist
Series (an annual series of events featuring
visiting theatre professionals from the Twin
Cities community who work closely with
students), and attendance at numerous
professional productions in the Twin
Cities. Augsburg theatre productions are
treated as unique learning laboratories
where students can enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional
artists-in-residence.
In addition to learning skills specific to
theatre, students in theatre arts learn valuable skills applicable to other professions:
collaboration, verbal and non-verbal communication, organization, critical thinking,
leadership, creativity, and self-expression.
Involvement in theatre arts can help prepare students for careers such as law, education, business, communication, and journalism, as well as prepare theatre students
325
for careers in professional or academic theatre, television, and film. In order to prepare the student for graduate school or the
workplace, the department encourages a
second major or minor in such fields as
art, English, education, film, music, history, sociology, or religion.

A Greeting
from the President
Stephen Geffre
A college catalog is a wonderful text,
full of detail and data that offer all of us a
map to our lives together as a college
community.
What has prompted you to study this
map of Augsburg College? If you’re already
enrolled at Augsburg, I trust that you will
continue to find here the awe and wonder
of an educational experience that is meaningful and challenging. I hope that you will
be reminded of the relationships and commitments you have formed at Augsburg —
they will last a lifetime. I also hope that you
find in this map signposts of the progress
you have made in your vocational journey and that you will continue to believe that
you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the community in which you will spend time for
the next several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg College and an
Augsburg education, welcome. I believe you will find that they not only tell you about
the character and essence of our institution, but also about our mission of service, particularly about those whom we serve in a modern, vibrant city. Augsburg is located in
the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and it is in the city that our
College both serves and thrives. As you study here, you will find a setting that not
only provides remarkable learning opportunities, but one in which you will be able to
share you own talents and skills. Augsburg’s challenging academic environment is
enhanced by both education and service experiences that transform theory into action
and unite the liberal arts with the practical in preparing students as faithful citizens in
a global society.
The experience you are undertaking at Augsburg — or thinking of undertaking —
will occur on a small campus in the core of a great city; it will be led by faculty preoccupied with your welfare and the emergence and refinement of your vocational plans.
As you join Augsburg College, or consider doing so, please know that those of us
who await you here find the College an exciting place, full of diversity and yet possessed of a community dedicated to higher learning and good living. Here you can
find your way in the world.
May this map be your faithful guide!
Sincerely yours,
Paul C. Pribbenow
President

ABOUT AUGSBURG
A
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is the
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Discovering your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Core Curriculum — designed
to prepare students to become effective,
informed, and ethical citizens. Through
“Search for Meaning” courses, students
explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a
lifetime—writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a
few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 Majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—
or you can create your own major, either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while
a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC
includes Augsburg College, the College of
St. Catherine, Hamline University,
Macalester College, and the University of
St. Thomas.
The Weekend College Program offers
19 majors and five certificate programs.
MISSION STATEMENT .
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, “Education for Service,”
and to the mission of the College:
“To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the
context of a vital metropolitan setting, and
by an intentionally diverse campus community.”
HISTORY .
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.
About Augsburg 11
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr.,
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg’s theme
for over 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education
for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity. This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College’s mission assumed a double character—ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modern
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a concerted
effort to become accredited. Full accreditation was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church. Subsequently,
the American Lutheran Church merged
with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to
form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America.
12 About Augsburg
A College in the City
AUGSBURG TODAY .
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg’s emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena,
and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
• The city—with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V. Frame became president
in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under
his leadership, the College sharpened its
identity as a college of the city, providing
an education, grounded in vocational calling, that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became the 11th
president of Augsburg College in July
2006. Under his leadership, the College
aims to educate students of all ages — in
the midst of a great city — to be faithful citizens of the world.
• An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
• Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now over 18,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to undergraduate liberal
arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master’s
degree programs in business, education,
leadership, nursing, physician assistant
studies, and social work.
■ WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg’s Weekend College program
provides an educational alternative to
adults who want to complete a baccalaureate degree but who work or have other
commitments during the week. It is a
means by which men and women can gain
skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the
liberal arts.
About Augsburg 13
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today with approximately 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 19 majors,
Augsburg’s Weekend College is one of the
largest programs of its type among
Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time Augsburg
professors as well as adjunct faculty who
bring professional experience to their
teaching. The Weekend College student
body is involved in student government,
and students participate in academic and
extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, and student organizations.
Augsburg Weekend College continues
its tradition of innovation to meet the
needs of the adult and nontraditional student.
The Adult as Learner
Augsburg Weekend College is based on
the assumption that working adult students are mature, self-disciplined, and
motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods of
concentrated, on-campus study as well as
time for independent study and class
preparation. Most courses include a Webbased course management site.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this learning format,
classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and a half to four hours on
either Friday evening, Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.
Laboratory sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students may take from
one to four courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on weekday
evenings and are open to both day and
Weekend College students. The academic
year for Weekend College is divided into
three trimesters.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and
women with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of
College facilities such as Lindell Library
and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and athletic events.
Weekend College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal degree
and all consider teaching to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support
and are secondary to their teaching.
Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic
faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching
and learning techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s small classes encourage its
tradition of close involvement between
professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in
campus activities.
■ ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg has established a branch
campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes
in Rochester meet on an evening schedule,
making them accessible to working adults.
14 About Augsburg
There are three trimesters in each academic
year. Several complete degree programs are
available through the Rochester campus. In
addition, students may work on a variety
of other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken
in the day or Weekend College program on
the Minneapolis campus. Students who
enroll in Rochester courses are required to
use technology in the learning and communication process through the online
course management system. Further information may be obtained from the
Rochester program website at
www.augsbur g.edu/rochester> or by call<w
ing the Weekend College Admissions
Office at 612-330-1101.

FINANCING YOUR EDUCATION
A
ll students receive financial help
indirectly, since a quality liberal arts education costs more than tuition and fees cover.
The College raises that difference in gifts—
from alumni, faculty, staff, parents,
churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for
paying for a college education rests on students and their families. Financial aid is
intended to supplement those resources.

Employer Reimbursement: students whose
employers reimburse them for all or part of
their tuition and fees must pay a $100
deposit per course credit at the start of the
term. The balance, which is subject to
finance charges until paid, is due 60 days
after the last day of the term. Students on
this plan must file an employer reimbursement application form each academic year,
prior to the start of the first class. The student is responsible for payment of the balance should the employer not reimburse
for any reason. If the employer offers partial reimbursement, the non-reimbursed
portion of tuition and fees must be paid in
full at the start of the term.
FINANCIAL POLICIES.
A finance charge is applied at a simple
rate of .67 percent per month on any
account with an open balance of 30 days
or more.
Registration is permitted only if the
student’s account for a previous term is
paid in full or if the student is making
scheduled payments in accordance with an
approved payment plan.
Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts until all student
accounts are paid in full or, in the case of
student loan funds administered by the
College (Federal Perkins Student Loan
including the National Defense and
National Direct Student Loans and the
Nursing Student Loan), are current
according to established repayment
schedules and the loan entrance and
exit interviews have been completed.
■ REFUNDS
Students who withdraw from Augsburg
College may be eligible for a refund of a
portion of their charges based on the
appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid
may be adjusted for those students who
withdraw from the College or drop
course(s) and receive financial assistance.
Students who wish to withdraw from
Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal
from College form available in the
Enrollment Center. It must be filled out
completely, signed and turned in to the
Enrollment Center. Students who properly
withdraw or change to part-time, who are
dismissed, or who are released from a
housing contract will have their accounts
adjusted for tuition and/or room (except
for the minimum deduction of $100 to
cover administrative costs) in accordance
with the terms of their housing contract
Financial Information 27
and/or the appropriate tuition refund
schedule.
Students are responsible for canceling
courses through the Enrollment Center in
order to be eligible for any refund.
Students who unofficially withdraw (stop
attending) but do not complete the
drop/add form are responsible for all
charges. Financial aid may be adjusted
based on the student’s last recorded date of
attendance. Refund calculations are based
on the date that the drop/add form is
processed.
• The Augsburg College Refund Policy
for Day, Weekend, Rochester, United, and
Graduate Programs:
The refund schedule is based on the
percentage of class time remaining on the
date of the student’s official withdrawal
from class. This applies to all students who
drop one or more courses during each
term.
Percentage of class time remaining
after official drop or withdrawal:
Amount of refund:
100% to 90% remaining
Full refund
(minus $100
administrative
fee)
89% to 50% remaining
Refund equals
the percentage
of term
remaining
49% or less remaining
No refund
This refund schedule is effective
whether or not a student has attended
classes. Please allow two weeks for tuition
and possible financial aid adjustments to
be finalized. If a credit balance remains on
the student’s account, a credit refund check
will be issued at that time.
The refund of charges calculation used
is the Augsburg College Refund Policy stated above.
Students may appeal refund decisions
through the Financial Petition Committee.
Petition forms are available in the
Enrollment Center.
■ MEDICAL REFUND
If a student is forced to withdraw from
one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, the refund will include
the normal refund percentage (based on
the regular refund schedule), plus one-half
of the remaining tuition and fees. This
extra medical refund will be considered
upon submission of documentation from
the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Requests
for medical refunds should be made
through the Financial Petition Committee.
■ UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL
Federal regulations require that records
of financial aid recipients who earn failing
grades in all their classes be reviewed. If
courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial
withdrawal, stopped attending), the
College is required to refund financial aid
to the appropriate sources according to
federal or Augsburg refund policies based
on the last recorded date of attendance.
Students are responsible for the entire cost of
the term including the portion previously
covered by financial aid should they stop
attending. Students are strongly urged to
follow guidelines for complete withdrawal
from college. If there are extenuating
circumstances, a petition to have the cost
of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available in the Enrollment
Center.
28 Financial Information
A student who registers, does not
attend any classes, and does not withdraw
may petition to withdraw retroactively. The
student must petition within six months of
the end of term and provide proof of nonattendance. Proof can include, but is not
limited to, statements from each instructor
that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at
another college or university. If approved,
grades of W will be recorded and charges
for the term dropped. The administrative
cancellation fee is $300.
FINANCIAL AID.
All students who wish to be considered
for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This
includes completing the application process
as outlined below and meeting the academic progress standards outlined in the
brochure “Academic Progress Standards for
Financial Aid.” This brochure is available
from the Enrollment Center and is distributed to students on an annual basis.
Financing higher education could be
the most significant investment a person
or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not
only in choosing a college, but also in the
methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its Enrollment Center,
will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education
in a time of increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg may be a combination of
scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2005-2006 academic
year, more than eight out of ten students at
Augsburg received financial assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA), current tax documents, and Augsburg Verification Worksheet help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This
analysis takes into account such family
financial factors as current income, assets,
number of dependent family members,
other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.
■ HOW TO APPLY
The following are required to process
your financial aid application:
1. Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular
student or be a returning student in good
academic standing with the College.
2. Complete the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the
Renewal FAFSA. Students are encouraged
to file the FAFSA electronically on the Web
at <www.fafsa.ed.gov>. Students and their
parents may sign the FAFSA electronically
using a PIN issued by the U.S. Department
of Education. Instructions for requesting a
PIN can be found at <www.fafsa.ed.gov>.
Be sure to include the Augsburg College
code, 002334, on your application. Submit
your application to the processing agency
after Jan. 1. Applications must be filed by
April 15 for priority consideration.

to the Enrollment Center.
Financial Information 29
4. Submit copies of federal tax forms
for the preceding year (e.g. tax year 2005
to be considered for financial aid for 20062007). Tax forms are required for the student and parents of dependent students, or
spouse of student if filing separately.
■ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Once all documents are received, we
review the financial aid application to
determine financial aid eligibility for all
available programs. A financial aid award
letter will be sent to the student. This letter details the financial aid award and
includes:
• Information regarding institutional
financial aid programs and requirements for continued eligibility
• Information regarding federal and private loan programs (students must
complete a loan application to receive
loan funds)
• Information regarding payment
plans/options for the current school
year
■ KINDS OF AID
A student applying for aid from
Augsburg applies for assistance in general
rather than for a specific scholarship or
grant (except as noted). The various forms
of aid available are listed here for information only.
In addition to aid administered by
Augsburg College, students are urged to
investigate the possibility of scholarships
and grants that might be available in their
own communities. It is worthwhile to
check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high
schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to
students who meet their requirements. In
addition to these sources, some students
are eligible for aid through Rehabilitation
Services, Educational Assistance for
Veterans, Educational Assistance for
Veterans’ Children, and other sources.

Loan Assistance
Federal Perkins Student Loan—A
federally-funded program administered
through Augsburg College for students
who demonstrate financial eligibility. No
interest accrues nor do payments have to
be made on the principal at any time you
are enrolled at least half time. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal
(at the minimum of $40 a month) begin
nine months after you leave school.
Repayment may extend up to 10 years.
The loan offers a teacher cancellation
clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study is $20,000.
Federal Stafford Student Loan
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford
Loan funds are obtained directly from a
lender or state agency in states that provide
such programs. Subsidized Stafford Loans
are need-based loans that the federal
government subsidizes by paying the
interest while the student is in school
and during the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower may choose
to make payments while in school or may
defer payments and allow interest to
accrue and be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized

STUDENT LIFE
A
ugsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense.
Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, but learning and
development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
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 is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college
pastor, and campus ministry staff have
offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center
for Worship, Drama, and Communication
and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
VOCATION .
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program assists students in this
journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to consider Christian ministry. Contact the director
of Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT .
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights,
and provides the means for debate and
activism on all issues pertaining to student
life at Augsburg.
Student Life 41
Student Government is organized into
several committees. Elections are held in
the spring for the next year. Freshmen
elect their representatives in the fall of
their first year. Many kinds of involvement
are possible—program planning, writing,
editing, or service opportunities. If you
want to get involved, contact the president
or vice president of the student body in
their offices in the lower level of the
Christensen Center.
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES AND .
ORIENTATION .
The Office of Campus Activities and
Orientation creates opportunities for students to enhance their leadership skills
through active co-curricular involvement.
These events, activities and organizations
serve the campus community by helping
students become connected and invested
in their Augsburg experience.
Orientation programs on campus help
new students to Augsburg College become
familiar with their new surroundings and
the various resources that Augsburg offers
students. Summer Orientation and
Registration (SOAR) is a summer orientation program for entering first-year students where they will receive their class
schedule, meet their orientation leader and
meet new Auggies. Auggie Days is a fourday, fall transition program prior to the
beginning of classes. It is a comprehensive,
educational orientation program dedicated
to helping new first year students become
acclimated to the campus and feel comfortable in their new home. TRANSFERmation
and Spring Begin are transfer and new
beginner orientation programs that take
place in the fall and spring respectively.
SOCIAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL .
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, speakers, and visiting personalities
in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the hub of
student life on Augsburg’s campus. It houses various offices and services provided for
Augsburg students, staff, and faculty. The
Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Office
of Campus Activities and Orientation,
Event and Classroom Services, the Copy
Center, Shipping and Receiving, Murphy’s
Grill, Information Desk, Barnes and Noble
Bookstore, Sodexho food service, mail services, and Starbucks coffee/lounge are
offices and services that are currently in
the Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Center (known
as the Auggie’s Nest) is located on the garden level of the Christensen Center.
Student organizations have workstations
and lockers to help promote their events,
hold meetings and plan campus-wide programming endeavors. Commuter students
have the opportunity to utilize daily-use
lockers for storage.
■ FINE ARTS
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the
city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band,
and Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.

GAGE CENTER FOR ACADEMIC.
ACHIEVEMENT.
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg
students in setting and achieving optimal
academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The Center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising
Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS)
Academic Skills Coaching
TRIO/Student Support Services
Undergraduate Research and Graduate
Opportunity (URGO)
■ ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic Advising orients new Day
and Weekend College undergraduate students to the academic policies and procedures of the college and assists students on
initial course selection. This office also
provides interpretation of core curriculum
requirements, administers entry-level skill
assessments, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree-planning materials,
and answers questions on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions
as a supplement to the faculty advising system at Augsburg College, and is located in
the Enrollment Center.
Student Life 43
All current students are assigned to a
faculty adviser. Prior to the end of their
sophomore year, when they have completed 12 or more credits, students are
required to declare their major and select a
faculty adviser by filling out a Major
Declaration Form and returning it to the
Enrollment Center. All day students are
required to meet with their assigned faculty adviser prior to registration. Both day
and weekend college students are encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser as
often as is necessary.
■ CENTER FOR LEARNING AND
ADAPTIVE STUDENT SERVICES
(CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented
learning, attentional, psychiatric and other
cognitive disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping
these students gain full access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection
of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a
rigorous and challenging, yet supportive,
liberal arts education to students with
diverse backgrounds, preparations, and
experiences.
Students who qualify for assistance
from CLASS work directly with one of our
disability specialists to develop an appropriate educational plan. These plans may
include:
• Accommodations for testing and
classroom (e.g., extended time, notetaking)
• Referrals to other campus resources
(e.g., tutoring, general technology
assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid)
• Use of assistive technology through
the Groves Computer Laboratory
• Individual meetings (weekly or occasional) with a specialist for assistance
with academic, organizational, and
time management skills
CLASS specialists may also consult
with instructors, academic advisers, and
other members of the college faculty, staff,
or administration to ensure that students
have every opportunity for success. Taking
advantage of those opportunities, however,
remains the student’s responsibility.
These services are available to any
Augsburg student who establishes eligibility by submitting appropriate documentation to the CLASS office. A copy of the
Guidelines for Documentation of a
Disability can be obtained by contacting
the CLASS Office. CLASS also provides
informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to
help students determine whether they
should seek a thorough evaluation by a
qualified professional.
These services are made possible in part
through endowment support provided by
the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation.
■ ACADEMIC SKILLS COACHING
The Academic Skills Coaches, located
in Science 116, offer students study-skills
assistance so they may achieve academic
success. The coaches assist students in
improving their skills in such areas as time
management, note taking, textbook reading and comprehension, test-taking, and
concentration and memory improvement.
The staff will assist students in stress
reduction and in developing effective and
efficient study skills based on individual
learning styles.

STEPUP® PROGRAM.
The StepUP Program at Augsburg
College is for men and women in recovery
from addiction to alcohol and other drugs
who wish to pursue a college education.
StepUP’s comprehensive approach supports
students in both their recovery and academic studies.
StepUP students live in separate chemical-free housing, have individual support
meetings with a licensed chemical dependency counselor, and participate in

abstinence-based recovery program, have a
minimum of six months of continuous
sobriety, and agree to abide by the StepUP
contract and live in StepUP housing.
The StepUP Program fosters academic
success and encourages the discovery of
positive relationships. Students are challenged to take responsibility for themselves

the surrounding community.
■ PAN-AFRIKAN STUDENT SERVICES
The Pan-Afrikan Center (PAC) traces
its roots to an event held in 1968 called
“One Day in May” when Augsburg hosted
a series of interactive programs with the
community. As a result, Black Student
Affairs was born. It has evolved, over the
years, into the PAC.
PAC serves the Augsburg College community by providing culturally conscious
personal, academic, financial, pre-professional and transitional support for students
of Afrikan descent. This service enhances
the recruitment, retention, and graduation
of Pan-Afrikan students and enables their
learning experience to be interactive. PAC

RESIDENCE LIFE PROGRAM.
Students who choose to make
Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends
among roommates and classmates. They
are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice
arena, fitness center, and Christensen
Center. With just over 900 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet
each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance
of the residential experience during the
college years. Studies show that students
who live on campus are more likely to
complete their degrees. Residence life staff
are on hand to help students become
acquainted with life at Augsburg through
social and educational events. They are
also ready to assist students who need help
or friendship.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, fun, and leadership.
Research indicates that students living in
residence halls also earn higher grades and
50 Student Life
gain greater satisfaction during their college career. Numerous events are planned
to welcome students to the community,
including dances, movie nights, coffee
house concerts, and weeks devoted to special themes or issues.

COLLEGE POLICIES.
■ STUDENT STANDARDS OF
BEHAVIOR, COMPLAINTS,
RECORDS
The College has adopted a statement
of standards for student behavior and has
provided for due process in matters of
academic honesty, disciplinary action, and
grievances. These are in the Student Guide.
The College operates in compliance
with the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act. Students have the right to
inspect certain official records, files, and
data that pertain to them and that are
maintained in the registrar’s office and the
placement office, and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information.
Information on these policies is found
in the Student Guide available on the website at <www.augsburg.edu/studentguide>.
■ OFFICIAL NOTICES
Students will receive official notices via
the student campus mail system (student
campus box), the A-Mail publication, and
the student’s Augsburg e-mail account.
Students should check their campus mailbox and their student e-mail account regularly. The A-Mail is a daily online publication on AugNet.
■ FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
AND PRIVACY ACT
The Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended,
provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year
Augsburg is required to give notice of
the various rights accorded to students
pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg’s
policy is published in this catalog on page
87 and in the Student Guide distributed
annually to students.
Augsburg College understands that no
information other than “directory information” can be released without the written
permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty
or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written
permission is given by the student to
release non-“directory information.” It
is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
Complete information about Augsburg’s
procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
A
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students
must be educated intellectually, spiritually,
and physically. To act effectively, human
beings must have a broad grasp of the
world from which they have come as well
as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts,
natural sciences, and social sciences, the
general education curriculum introduces
students to the breadth and complexity of
knowledge and culture.
Required Search for Meaning courses
are designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition, introduce them to
other faith traditions, and encourage them
to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation
courses offer students opportunities to
develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 50 major
areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a
career or further study. Thus, through a
balance of curricular activities supported
by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real
world for the real world.
■ DEGREES OFFERED
Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts,
the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of
science degrees. Augsburg also offers the
master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and
education), the master of business administration, the master of science (in physician assistant studies), and the master of
social work degrees.
■ ACADEMIC CALENDAR
The Augsburg day program follows the
semester calendar, with fall and spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Fulltime students normally take four course
credits each semester.
The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities,

June. There are 7-8 class sessions each
trimester, and classes meet on weekends
for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program
schedule for weekday evening meeting
times.) Students may take from one to four
classes each term.**

weekday evenings and meet an alternate
weeks. Similar to Weekend College,
Rochester’s Fall trimester begins in
September, Winter trimester begins in
January, and Spring trimester begins in
April. There are 7-8 class sessions each
trimester with each class meeting for 3-1/2
to 4 hours. Students may take one to four
classes each term.**
**(See Registration on page 70 and

■ FACULTY
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a
doctorate or the highest degree in their
field, and all consider teaching to be the
focus of their activity. Faculty are also
involved in a variety of professional and
research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that
introduces them to current thought in
many fields, but especially in teaching
techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
Every freshman is assigned an Augsburg
Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major
adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act
as both mentors and models for students.
■ LIBRARY AND INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
The James G. Lindell Family Library
opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000square-foot facility houses all library and
information technology functions of the

main collection, the Lindell Library
includes special collections and archives,
curriculum library, a computer lab and stu-
dent computing help desk, library instruction classroom, and facilities for media
viewing and listening. Skyways link the

■ MAJORS AND MINORS
Majors, or concentrations of study, may
be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines.
Some students decide on a major or majors
before they enter college. Others explore a
variety of disciplines before deciding.
The college requires students to declare
a major by the end of the sophomore year,
and earlier in some disciplines. Details of
majors and minors are in the course
description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of
arts degree.
Student-Designed Major
Students may design their own major
with the assistance and approval of three
advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg
College Academic Affairs Committee
(AAC). A student-designed major allows
Academic Information 57
flexibility in selecting major courses. Any
student wishing to design a major must
complete a proposal, submit it with
approval and supporting letters from three
faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval
of the program. Students should seek AAC
approval as early as possible so that any
changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting
the student’s proposed completion date.
The deadline for initial submission of the
program design to AAC is the first term in
which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the
term before the student achieves senior status.
Students wishing to design majors
must:
1. Develop the student-designed major
in concert with three faculty advisers from
relevant fields, who together constitute the
Review Team. All advisers must sign the
proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting
letters should assess BOTH the student’s
ability to complete the proposed major and
the validity and value of the proposed
major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The
advisers’ signatures and supporting letters
represent their approval of the program,
including the capstone course, and their
commitment to oversee the student’s
progress.
2. Develop a student-designed major
program proposal that includes:
a. A statement of learning goals and
objectives.
b. A list of proposed courses (minimum
of nine, no more than one of which is a
lower-level language course and at least
five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to
the program goals. Indicate how the pro-
posed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated
with a college major. Proposals must
include research describing comparable
programs of study at a minimum of three
other academic institutions. In addition,
students should consult with the Center
for Service, Work, and Learning for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core
Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled.
c. A description of the student-designed
major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should
devise the capstone in consultation with
advisers. It should require an integrative
project/paper that draws together the
course work up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at
least one of the advisers must specifically
address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter,
though approval of the student-designed
major program by all advisers presumes
their approval of the capstone course.
3. Submit the completed proposal and
supporting documentation to the Dean’s
Office.
If AAC approves the proposed major
program, the student will be expected to
complete the program designed and still
meet all of the other Augsburg degree
requirements as stated in the college catalog.
Students who design their own majors
will meet with their advisers regularly
throughout the design and subsequent
evaluation of their program. Changes in
the approved student-designed major may
be made through the normal petition
process to the Student Standing Committee
with adviser approval.
58 Academic Information
Listings that are shaded are offered
through both the day program and
Weekend College. Weekend College
students may choose a major offered in
the day program if they wish. They may
take as many courses as possible through
Weekend College, then finish the major as
a day program student. A change of program is allowed once each academic year.

■ HONORS PROGRAM
The Augsburg Honors Program offers
an adventurous education where exceptional students with a passion for ideas can
be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike
any other honors program in the nation
because it gives students the resources and
freedom to create their own ideal higher
education. Students have the opportunity
to create their own courses, edit and write
for the Augsburg Review of Undergraduate
Scholarship, participate in an intramural
debate league, belong to an Honors House,
and learn through small reading groups,
research projects, and travel around the
world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and
includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great
books on trial, or building an interactive
museum exhibit. Honors courses bring in
professors from several different departments so you can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties.
For information, please contact Robert
C. Groven, Honors Program director.
■ INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities
area on several programs.
Library and Media Center—
Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private
colleges library consortium, the Augsburg
community has direct access to over
2,500,000 volumes.
Associated Colleges of the Twin
Cities (ACTC)—Full-time day students at
Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and
universities of Hamline, Macalester, St.
Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect to
take one course each semester at one of the
other campuses. No additional fee is
required for such an exchange, except for
private instruction in music or approved
independent studies. Students may elect to
participate in the cooperative program to
gain new perspectives, to get better
acquainted with the other schools, or to
undertake a specific course or major not
offered on the home campus. A regularly
scheduled bus shuttles students between
the campuses.
Weekend College students may not participate in the ACTC consortium program.
Higher Education Consortium for
Urban Affairs (HECUA)—Augsburg, in
cooperation with 17 other colleges and
universities, offers off-campus study
semesters in Scandinavia, South and
Central America, and the Twin Cities. (See
HECUA programs on page 65.)
Air Force ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Air Force
ROTC program at the University of St.
Thomas under the ACTC consortium
agreement. Students are eligible to compete
for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the
registrar’s office.
Army ROTC—Augsburg day students
may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under
an agreement between Augsburg, the
University of Minnesota, and the
program. For more information, contact
the Office of the Registrar.
Academic Information 63
Note: A maximum of one full Augsburg
course credit of military science studies
may apply toward the total credits required
for graduation. Additional military science
credits beyond the one credit allowed will
be classified as non-degree credits.
Students are advised on selecting programs that best fit their academic, career,
financial, and personal objectives.
Assistance is provided with application,
course registration, financing, and travel
arrangements. Orientation and re-entry
programs assist students in integrating the
experience abroad into their coursework
and personal lives. Grades earned on nonAugsburg programs will not be recorded
on the Augsburg transcript and will not be
figured into the GPA. Grades of “C” or better are required for credit to be granted
from non-Augsburg programs.
■ AUGSBURG ABROAD
Eligibility and Application
An increasing number of Augsburg students are taking advantage of the opportunity to gain academic credit for an experience abroad. Through study abroad students may meet with grassroots women’s
organizations in Mexico, work in a small
business or artisan program in Namibia,
examine prospects for peace in Northern
Ireland, study geology and ecology in
Norway, have a paid corporate internship
in Germany, or thrill to the sounds of The
Magic Flute at the Viennese state opera
house. Study abroad provides opportunities to develop critical thinking skills,
strengthen language competencies, further
career paths, experience different cultures,
and gain knowledge about the increasingly
interdependent world.
All students in good academic and disciplinary standing (a minimum GPA of
2.50) at Augsburg may apply to study off
campus. Although foreign language skills
are an asset, they are not required for all
study abroad programs. Since it takes some
time to prepare for studying abroad, students should start planning during their
freshman and sophomore years.
The application deadline for spring
term study abroad programs is October 1.
For summer session, fall term, and year
long study abroad programs the application deadline is March 1. Please contact the
study abroad advisor in the Office of
International Programs for deadlines on
short-term study abroad programs and
advising assistance.
Academic Requirements and Credit
Costs and Financial Aid
Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg and will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Courses abroad can fulfill major,
Augsburg core curriculum, and graduation
requirements when approved by academic
advisers and department chairs before
departure. An approved study abroad program will also fulfill the Augsburg
Experience.
The cost of many programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for a
semester on campus. Financial aid is granted on the same basis as on-campus study.
Cost estimates are drawn up to assist the
financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad.
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.

■ THE CENTER FOR SERVICE, WORK,
AND LEARNING
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning is a comprehensive resource center incorporating an experiential educational focus emphasizing the importance
and value for all students to engage in service- and work-based learning experiences
and the exploration of personal and professional vocation throughout their college
years. The center encourages students to
take advantage of Augsburg’s metropolitan
location through the highly successful service-learning, internship, and career plan-
Academic Information 67
ning programs that link the College’s academic programs to community organizations and businesses.
Service- and work-based experiential
education opportunities are closely related
to students’ coursework, majors, and/or
career interests. Learning opportunities
may be in non-profit organizations,
churches, schools, government agencies,
community-based organizations, small and
mid-size companies, and large corporations.
The underlying assumption is that a
liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds
breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making
more informed academic, personal, and
career decisions.
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning includes the following programs:
Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with
opportunities to understand and respond
to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement. A key component of community service-learning includes reflection on and
analysis of community issues in order to
promote personal and educational growth
and civic responsibility. Through connecting classroom content with service,
Augsburg students learn from and about
the organizations where they serve and
deepen their understanding of course
knowledge. This dynamic and interactive
educational approach employs reciprocal
learning between the students and the
community. Community service-learning
examples include tutoring at schools and
literacy centers, volunteering at homeless
shelters, Habitat for Humanity, and com-
munity centers, or working with cultural
and environmental groups.
The service-learning program also
works closely with the student-directed
Augsburg LINK and campus ministry.
Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully
planned, service- or work-based learning
experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning
objectives. Academic credit is received for
the learning derived from the experience.
A learning agreement plan, negotiated with
a faculty supervisor and work supervisor,
outlines the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods.
An academic internship is approved,
supervised, and evaluated by a faculty
member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship credit. Internships can be registered for 1
course credit or .5 course credit.
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), or summer
sessions. Inter-disciplinary internships are
also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and
Grading on page 85.
A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education is a non-credit
transcript notation for paid work experiences related to a student’s major or career
objective. The goal is for students to apply
theory to practice in a work setting. Job
opportunities typically are part-time during
the academic year and/or full-time in the
summer and can begin and end anytime.
Students must register for the non-credit
68 Academic Information
transcript notation, set learning goals and
evaluate their experience. The director of
the Center for Service, Work, and Learning
supervises co-op transcript notation work
experiences. Academic internships and
cooperative education may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation
requirement.
Career Services
Career Services is committed to providing opportunities and programs to help
students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career
paths, and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This
process is viewed as an important part of a
student’s development while attending college. To aid in this process, career staff provide career related assessments, one-onone career planning and coaching, and
assistance with choosing majors, locating
internships, preparing for job searches and
graduate school applications, and making
connections to community, business, and
alumni resources.

College schedule, and the admissions
process begins with the Weekend College
Admissions office. For further information
about the programs, contact the Education
Department or the Weekend College
Admissions office.
The Master of Arts in Leadership is
based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues,
and problems relevant to organizational
leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes
that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum
of abilities to provide them with a more
comprehensive understanding of their
world. Designed for working adults, the
program operates on alternate Saturdays.
The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health
nursing practice across care settings, with
emphasis on addressing health inequities
among diverse populations. The program
is offered within the context of a Christian
liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in
Advanced Community Health Nursing, or
Advanced Nursing Administration through
the American Nurses Credentialing Center

Namibia, Pine Ridge, SD, and/or Europe.
The Master of Arts in Nursing Program is
accredited by the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education in accordance with its accreditation standards and
procedures.
The Master of Business
Administration is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge
necessary to advance in their careers and
accept roles of greater responsibility in an
organization. Meeting primarily on one
evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 20
months. Organized in cohort format, the
program encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses
on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex
environments. An intensive Field Study
course allows students to apply classroom
learning to an actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and
organizations provide a learning laboratory
for students as they complete projects in
various disciplines and functions.
The core program can be enhanced
through participation in a number of certificate options including Finance, Financial
Planning, International Business, Marketing
Management, Music Business, and Human
Resource Management.
The Master of Science in Physician
Assistant Studies is designed for students
interested in careers as health care
providers. The mission of the program is
based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of,
and is oriented toward providing care to,
underserved populations. Students are well
educated in current medical theory and
practice in primary care medicine. All
physician assistants must have a supervising physician to practice. The program is
three years long with classes held Monday
through Friday during the day.
The Master of Social Work, accredited
by the Council on Social Work Education,
prepares students for entering advanced
social work practice. The program builds
on the liberal arts base of the College and
supports the College’s mission to nurture
future leaders in service to the world.
There are two concentrations: family
practice or program development, policy,
and administration. Students choose one of
the two concentrations for their program
focus. The curriculum emphasizes work
with diverse and oppressed groups, social
justice, leadership for social change and a
holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving
framework. Graduate social work classes
meet in four-hour blocks on Friday
evenings, Saturday mornings, and
Saturday afternoons.
The family practice concentration prepares students to work with families and
individuals within families, across the full
range of contemporary social work practice
settings. The program development, policy,
and administration concentration prepares
students to actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy
toward changing policies that obscure and
oppress people.
A dual degree (Master of Social Work
and Master of Arts in Theology) is also
70 Academic Information
available and is offered in collaboration
with Luther Seminary. The dual degree is
designed to meet the educational interests
of people planning to serve the spiritual
and social needs of families, individuals,
and communities.

Crossover Registration Policy
Every Augsburg undergraduate student
is admitted to a “home program,” either
day, Weekend College, or the Rochester
Program. It is expected that students will
complete most of their degree requirements through their home program.
However, full-time students may register
for up to 1.0 credits per term outside their
home program. Enrollment will be based
on class availability.
Students will be charged the rate of
their home program for courses in which
they enroll outside their home program.
The rate will be based on the maximum
credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms.
For example, a day program student taking
2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0
credits in the WEC program, will be considered full-time and will be charged the
full-time day program tuition rate. A WEC
student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program,
will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits.
Day students taking over 4.5 credits
will pay the day part time rate for any
credits over 4.5 in their combined
day/WEC load (Spring day term will
include both Winter WEC and Spring
WEC). The maximum number of credits
that may be included in the day full-time
tuition rate for students who cross-register
is 4.5 .
Students have registration priority in
their home program. Crossover registration
begins only after the open Web registration
period closes for both programs. A schedule is published on the registrar’s office
Web page. There is a special crossover registration form that must be processed at
the Enrollment Center. This registration
option is not available by Web.
The WEC and Rochester programs are
not part of the ACTC (Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities) tuition
exchange program. WEC/Rochester students may NOT crossover to attend
A C T C c o u r se s .
Students must have completed their
undergraduate degree and be admitted to a
graduate program before taking graduate
level courses from that program. (An
exception is made for approved courses in
the Department of Nursing and the joint
B.A. Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay
the graduate rate for those courses. Any
student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate
level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the
program in which the course is offered
(Day, WEC, or Rochester).
Academic Information 73
Change of Program
Withdrawal from College
Students may apply to change their
“home program” by filling out a Change of
Program form available at the Enrollment
Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one
each academic year.
Students are urged not to abandon
courses for which they are registered
because this will result in a failing grade
on their official academic record.
Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from
the College must be completed in the
Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the
College form may be obtained at the
Enrollment Center or downloaded from
the registrar’s Web page. The last day to file
for a Withdrawal from College is the last
day of classes prior to finals week.
Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from
College form is returned to the registrar’s
office.
Registration
All day students are required to meet
with their academic adviser prior to registration. Incoming freshmen and transfer
students may register during summer for
courses in the fall. All currently enrolled
day students may register during the fall
for the spring term and during the spring
for the fall term.
Weekend College and Rochester
Program students may register during the
designated time prior to the start of each
term.
The primary method of registration will
be via the Web through AugNet during the
open registration period. Please reference
the academic calendar for specific dates.
Day students will be able to register only
after meeting with their faculty adviser.
The Enrollment Center is also available to
process registration forms. Note: Web registration may not recognize prerequisites
fulfilled by transfer work. In these cases,
please process your registration at the
Enrollment Center.
Once the open registration period ends,
returning students registering for the first
time for the coming term will be assessed a
late registration fee. The Enrollment
Center will process all registration forms
after the Web closes.
Students are responsible for keeping
the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address.
Military Called to Active Duty
Augsburg College will allow students to
withdraw from courses without penalty if
they are called to active duty as military
reservists, National Guard, or for other
military service. This shall include a 100%
refund of tuition and fees upon verification
of call to active duty. The student must
provide a copy of orders.
If the student is called to duty after the
deadline to drop a course, the registrar will
place a W for the course(s) along with a
notation on the transcript that the student
was called to active duty. This is to assist
the student with any financial aid complications that may arise from a failure to
note attendance on the transcript, and also
indicate that the withdrawal was outside of
the student’s control.
Alternatively, the college supports faculty in enabling students who are called to
active duty and have substantially complet-
74 Academic Information
ed a course, to assign a grade based upon
the coursework completed, or work out an
“incomplete” agreement. Students who are
able to complete some of their courses
would have their refund adjusted to reflect
this.
Students who are being placed on
active duty should contact the registrar
and/or the Dean’s Office as soon as possible
so the College can notify all parties and aid
in this process.
Student Standing Committee
The Student Standing Committee deals
with requests for minor exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the Committee
reviews requests for:
• Minor exceptions to academic
requirements and/or approval of transfer
course substitutions
• Extending time for an incomplete
• Permission to take a course overload
• Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or
grade option changes)
Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a
$50 petition fee attached to the petition.
This fee is non-refundable regardless of the
outcome of the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be
submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term
involved.
In addition, the Committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic
probation or dismissal from the College on
academic grounds. The Committee also
hears appeals from students who have been
dismissed for academic reasons.
The Committee reviews student
requests for readmission to the College
after dismissal or returning after leaving
while on probation.
The Committee typically meets every
other week throughout the school year
(September-April), and once a month during summer.
Petition Process
Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the
Enrollment Center or download from the
registrar’s Web page: <www.augsburg.edu/
enroll/registrar/index.html>.
Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness
or family emergency. Have your adviser,
instructor, or department chairs sign and
add comments concerning your request.
Petitions without comments from faculty
will be returned for completion.
Step 3: Return the completed petition
form to the Office of the Registrar/
Enrollment Center, include signed
drop/add form and $50 check if applicable.
Step 4: After the committee meets, a
copy of the petition with the committee’s
decision is returned to the student. Day
students will receive this notice in their
campus box. WEC and Rochester student
petitions will be mailed to their home
address.
Re-Admitted Students
Former Augsburg students, re-admitted
to complete a degree after being away from
the College for at least one calendar year,
have a choice between using the catalog in
effect when they first enrolled, if possible,
or using the catalog in effect at the point of
re-admission. The election to complete a
degree under a new catalog must be submitted in writing to the registrar’s office.
Some departments will not accept course-
Academic Information 75
work taken more than seven to ten years
ago. Students must meet all of the requirements in effect under the catalog they
choose. Choosing to complete graduation
requirements under the current catalog
will require re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine its applicability to the current catalog
requirements.
Students who graduated from Augsburg
who are returning to complete a second
major will not be awarded a second degree
unless it is different from the original
degree awarded. (B.A., B.M., B.S.) Minors
are not noted on the transcript if they are
completed after a baccalaureate degree has
been awarded.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The evaluation of transfer credits is
completed by the Office of the Registrar
and is based on a student’s official transcripts. College credit is granted for liberal
arts courses completed at regionally
accredited institutions with a grade of
2.0/C or better. Augsburg does not grant
credit for developmental courses, vocational-technical courses, or courses with grades
below 2.0/C. The registrar’s office evaluates
coursework for credit and for applicability
toward Augsburg Core Curriculum
requirements. Academic departments are
responsible for evaluating the applicability
of coursework toward a student’s major or
minor. The College reserves the right to
require that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at
Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence section
on page 77) Additionally, major and minor
departments may require certain courses or
a minimum number of courses be taken at
Augsburg.
Augsburg operates on a course credit
system rather than semester or quarter
hours. Augsburg course credits are equiva-
lent to four semester hours or six quarter
hours. Transfer credits that have been
reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course
credits by dividing by four or six respectively.
Augsburg College limits transfer credit
from two-year colleges. Students may
transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits
(96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges.
Once a student reaches this credit limit, no
additional credits will transfer from twoyear institutions toward the minimum
number of course credits required for a
baccalaureate degree. However, courses
taken beyond the credit limit can be used
to meet liberal arts and major requirements.
Courses and credits that are accepted in
transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other
institutions are not transferred to Augsburg
and are not included in the student’s
cumulative grade point average.
Students should consult with their faculty adviser and the Office of the Registrar
before taking courses at other institutions
to ensure compliance with transfer credit
policy and residency requirements.
MnSCU Transfer Students
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
system who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MnSCU, and
have a 2.50 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0
scale) from the degree-granting institution
will be given transfer status as outlined
below:
• Students will be granted 16 Augsburg
course credits in transfer from two-year
institutions. This will assure admission
with junior standing. No additional credits
will be accepted from two-year institutions.
76 Academic Information
• The Augsburg Core Curriculum will
be adjusted so students need only to complete the following:
• REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and
Vocation
• One Augsburg Experience
• Senior Keystone Course
• Modern Language requirement (0-2
courses, depending on initial assessment)
• Math Placement Group 3 (or MAT
105)
• One course that fulfills the
Graduation-level Quantitative Reasoning
Skills requirement
• One course that fulfills a Graduationlevel Writing Skills requirement
• HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness or one
HPE lifetime activity course (This requirement is waived for students who have
transferred two equivalent courses.)
*The A.A. degree and Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum must be completed
prior to enrolling at Augsburg in order to
qualify for this transfer status.
Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the A.A. degree may be
required in some Augsburg majors.
Students are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C –
grades or below will not be accepted as
prerequisites or for application to majors.
Admission to a major — a separate
process from admission to the College — is
sometimes required. Please check with the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions and
consult the departmental section of this
catalog.
Advanced Transfer Students
Students who enter Augsburg with 13
or more course credits accepted in transfer
are considered Advanced Transfer
Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum
will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below:
• Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian
Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100
& REL 200
• Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement
• Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis
• Waiver of the Entry-level Critical
Thinking Assessment
• Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness
requirement (depending on transfer evaluation)
• Waiver of one Graduation-level
Writing Skills requirement
All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain
unchanged for Advanced Transfer
Students. A full description of these
requirements is found on pages 78-84.
*Waivers for Advanced Transfer are
determined at the time of initial entry into
Augsburg and will not be granted for
courses completed after initial enrollment.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS.
The responsibility for ensuring that all
degree requirements are satisfied rests with
the student. All students are required to
file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year prior to graduation.
Faculty advisers, the Academic
Advising staff, department chairs, and the
registrar staff are available for counsel and
assistance in program planning.
Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree
should contact the Office of the Registrar
about specific requirements for a second
baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent
Academic Information 77
of a major. See page 22 in the printed catalog in Undergraduate Admissions — Special
Students (Second Degree).
Each student is required to apply for
graduation at the end of his or her junior
year to confir m remaining graduation
requirements.
Application forms are available at the
Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s
Web page.
All degree and course requirements
must be completed and verified in the
Office of the Registrar prior to the anticipated date of graduation. (There may be no
incompletes or open courses on the academic record.)
Requirements For Undergraduate
Graduation:
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a
major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a
minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and
in total course work, and residence.
1. Completion of 32 course credits
— No more than 13 course credits may be
in one department, except in certain
approved majors: accounting (B.A.) – 14;
music education (B.M.) – 17; music performance (B.M.) – 14.5; music therapy (B.S.)
– 17; and social work (B.S.) – 15.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 32 total course credits
required: two courses by independent/
directed study; four courses of internship;
and six course credits with a grade of Pass
(P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two elective
P/N graded courses. Each department sets
its own limitations on the number of P/N
graded courses that may be applied toward
the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than
two course credits with P grades toward a
major and no more than one course credit
with a P grade toward a minor. The
Departments of Education and Social Work
are examples of departments that allow
students to apply more than two course
credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching or field work practicums).
2. Completion of a Major —
Requirements for each major are listed
under the departmental headings.
3. Completion of the Augsburg
Core Curriculum — Requirements for the
Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in
the next section.
4. Grade Point Average — Students
must earn a minimum overall grade point
average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors
and minors require at least a 2.00 grade
point average in course work for the major
or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certification programs require a higher grade
point average or a minimum grade in each
course. See the departmental section for
details about the grade and grade point
average for individual majors and minors.
5. Residence — The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no fewer than
seven of the last nine credits/requirements)
must be completed at Augsburg or within
an approved ACTC exchange program. No
fewer than a total of nine credits are to be

registrar’s office if an official interpretation
is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required
to be taken in residence within the major
and minor. Consult the catalog description
of the major/minor or the chairperson of
the department.
78 Academic Information
■ THE AUGSBURG CORE
CURRICULUM
The Augsburg Core Curriculum is
designed to prepare students to become
effective, informed, and ethical citizens
through their engagement in a curriculum
that:
• Provides a liberal arts foundation and
promotes the acquisition of intellectual
and professional skills;
• Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for
meaning; and
• Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s
place of leadership and service in a diverse
world — vocatio and caritas.
The curriculum has three major components:
• The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
• The Liberal Arts Foundation
• Skills Requirements
THE AUGSBURG SIGNATURE
CURRICULUM
Search for Meaning
Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum is
centered on its identity as a college of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
As a college of the Church, Augsburg
accepts as a basis for its educational program the doctrines of the Christian faith as
revealed in scripture and the creeds
affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should
reflect upon the Christian scriptures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own
faith and values, and religious concepts
outside of the Christian faith as part of
becoming educated.
In these courses students articulate and
critically reflect upon Augsburg’s concept
of vocation and its meaning; Christian theological concepts as well as concepts from
other religious traditions; and the meaning
of the Bible in Judeo-Christian thought, its
cultural contexts, and concepts of human
identity and vocation.
Two Search for Meaning courses—REL
100 and REL 200—are required.
The Augsburg First Year
In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community,
first-year weekday program students are
required to take courses containing the following components:
• Augsburg Seminar
All students who enter the college as
first-year students in the weekday schedule
program must satisfactorily complete fall
orientation and Augsburg Seminar, a firstyear learning community in their major or
related area of academic interest. Each
week Augburg Seminars devote an hour to
topics relevant to an Augsburg education:
becoming an intentional learner; making
connections to the larger Augsburg learning community; and exploring strategies
for success in the AugSem course(s) and
future college work.
• Engaging Minneapolis
The Engaging Minneapolis requirement
builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in
experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. Students
take one course that introduces them to
the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement,
cultural engagement, or service learning.
Most Engaging Minneapolis courses also
fulfill an Augsburg Core Curriculum or
major requirement. They should be taken
Academic Information 79
during the first year, but may be taken in
the second year.
• Many Voices Project
Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON
111 (see core skills requirements), the
Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text
addressing themes of cultural diversity and
global awareness. Emphasizing ways in
which written communication can promote understanding and productive
engagement among different cultures and
points of view, The Many Voices Project is
intended to teach skills and methods that
promote successful communication
between diverse writers and readers.
Augsburg Experience
All students must complete at least one
approved Augsburg Experience as a
requirement for graduation. Augsburg
Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and
active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning
opportunities are recognized as Augsburg
Experiences: internships, faculty-student
research, community service, study abroad,
and off-campus immersion experiences.
An Augsburg Experience integrates
experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and
reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg
Experiences meet two criteria: (1)
Integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) Link on-campus
learning to the goals, mission, needs, or
ideas of off-campus people, organizations
and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities,
and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may
be embedded in designated courses that
are part of the regular class schedule or
may be completed for zero credit outside
of the regular class schedule. The length of
time required, credit/no-credit status, and
grading options for approved Augsburg
Experiences will vary.
Senior Keystone
The Senior Keystone course provides a
final opportunity for exploring the central
themes of an Augsburg education — vocation and the search for meaning in a
diverse and challenging world. Students
will reflect upon the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of
transition as they prepare for their lives
after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also
meet major requirements.
The Senior Keystone course in each
department connects the broad liberal arts
foundation with the professional skills and
in-depth study of the major. It thus asks
graduating students to think critically,
reflectively, and ethically about their place
in the world as leaders and servants.
THE LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION
The Liberal Arts Foundation courses
introduce students to knowledge and
modes of inquiry across a wide range of
disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide
the opportunity for students to acquire a
broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation.
Students choose two courses from two
different departments in each domain.
(Exceptions may be made for specially
designed interdisciplinary Connections
courses.) The list of courses meeting the
Liberal Arts Foundation requirement is
available online and from the registrar’s
office.
80 Academic Information
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Two courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,
Physics.
One must be a lab science course.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Two courses from two different departments:
Economics, Political Science,
Psychology, Sociology
Humanities
Two courses from two different departments/programs:
American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy,
Religion, Modern Languages (literature
and culture courses), Women’s Studies
Note: The signature Search for Meaning
courses do not count as Humanities
Liberal Arts Foundation requirements.
Fine Arts
Two courses or approved activities
from two different departments:
Art, Music, Theatre Arts.
Participation in a music ensemble may
be applied to this requirement. Four
semesters of participation in the same
ensemble — orchestra, concert band, or
choir — fulfills one course requirement in
the Fine Arts domain.
SKILLS REQUIREMENTS
Entry Level Skills Assessments
There are entry level skills assessments
in:
• Critical Thinking
• Mathematics
• Writing
Placement in writing, math, and critical
thinking courses is determined by the
assessments. These tests are a prerequisite
for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements.
• Critical Thinking Assessment and
Requirement
Students who have college credit for a
critical thinking or logic course are exempt
from the critical thinking assessment.
Students who do not achieve the minimum entry score on the placement exam
are required to take GST 100 Critical
Thinking.
• Mathematics Assessment and
Requirement
All students are required to have their
math placement group (MPG) determined.
In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at
another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other
students must take the Augsburg Math
Placement Exam, which is administered by
Academic Advising. The exam is given
during college registration sessions and at
other announced times during the year.
Practice questions and other information
are available from Academic Advising.
Based on the math assessment result,
students will be enrolled in the appropriate
courses or advised on preparation for
retaking the math placement exam.
Students may retake the Math Placement
Exam once during their first term of
enrollment. Students are required to take
the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve
MPG 3 by the end of their first year at
Augsburg.
Academic Information 81
Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103
to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2
must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3.
Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to
advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course
changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass
or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to
the next math level.
Students are encouraged to advance
their MPG as soon as possible. Students
must achieve Math Placement Group
(MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4
as a prerequisite.
• Writing Assessment and
Requirement
This entry level assessment determines
readiness for ENL 111 or 112. Students
who do not place highly enough on the
entry level assessment will be required to
take ENL 101 Developmental Writing
before ENL 111.
Students who have transferred in a
course equivalent to ENL 111 are excused
from the entry level exam. Students entering Weekend College or the Rochester
Program do not take the Writing
Assessment.
Core Skills Requirements
• Effective Writing
ENL 111 Effective Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, is
required. Attendance the first day of class
is required.
Students should complete Effective
Writing by the middle of their sophomore
year since it is a prerequisite for Writing
Graduation Skill courses.
• Modern Language
For students who have not previously
studied a modern language, completion of
a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in
both courses is required. The BYU-CAPE
language assessment is offered to students
who have had at least one year of study of
French, German, or Spanish language in
high school. For a language previously
studied, successful completion (minimum
grade of 2.0 or P) of one language course
at your placement level (112 or higher)
satisfies the requirement. Students whose
placement test is at 311 or higher will be
exempted from further language study.
Modern language courses accepted in
transfer may be applicable to this skills
area for partial or full completion of the
requirement.
Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by
passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled the Modern Language Core
Skill.
Students whose first language is not
English and whose score is below the minimum on the ELL placement test must fulfill the English Language Learners (ELL)
requirement. The requirement is satisfied
by successfully completing the ELL
course(s) and achieving a score above the
minimum on the ELL placement exam.
Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core
Skill requirement. Contact Academic
Advising or the English Department for
additional information. More information
about English Language Learners is found
on page 88.

84 Academic Information
• Lifetime Fitness
Two lifetime fitness courses are
required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness
is required of all students. The second
course may be chosen from a variety of different lifetime activities (HPE 002, 003
Lifetime Activity courses). Students may
test out of the second activity course by
demonstrating proficiency from a selected
lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are
offered through the Health and Physical
Education department each semester.
There is a fee to take the lifetime activity
proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and
Health and Physical Education majors may
not test out of this requirement.
Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime
Activity courses are non-credit courses and
are not included in the 32-course graduation requirement.
Graduation Skills Requirements
An Augsburg education includes
enhancement of certain skills during the
years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing
skills are deliberate components of certain
courses. Students are required to have one
course each with Critical Thinking,
Quantitative Reasoning, and Speaking skill
components, and two courses with a
Writing Skill component. These requirements are modified for advanced transfer
students (see pages 76, 82-83). A minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required to satisfy
a graduation skill requirement.
Graduation skill requirements typically
are embedded in required courses in the
major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective
courses in the major that fulfill this
requirement. Academic advisers will provide a list of these courses.
All Writing Skill courses have the prerequisite of ENL 111 or its equivalent. All
Quantitative Reasoning Skill courses have
the prerequisite of Math Placement Group
3, and all Critical Thinking Skill courses
have the prerequisite of passing the entry
level Critical Thinking Assessment or GST
100.
Core Curriculum Modifications
Some majors that result in a Bachelor of
Science degree give students the ability to
modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways.
1. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Ar ts
Foundation (LAF) Waiver. Students who
elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver
must complete at least six of the eight LAF
requirements, provided at least one course
is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g.,
two Natural Science and Mathematics

EVALUATION AND GRADING
■
EXPLANATION OF GRADES
The official delivery of end-of-term
grades to students is online via the AugNet
Records and Registration website.
Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation.
Most courses are offered with grading
options—traditional grading on a 4.0 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.
toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for
Latin Honors. Transfer students should be
especially aware of this requirement.
• To be eligible for graduation with
Latin Honors, students may elect only 2
P/N credits.
• See P/N limitations under Graduation
Requirements, page 77.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(e.g., lifetime activities are graded only
P/N).
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading
option. Any changes in choice of grading
system must be made according to dates
published each term.
Numeric Grades
Numeric grades are used with these
definitions:
4.0
Achieves highest standards of
excellence
3.5
Pass/No Credit
3.0
Students who choose the P/N option
are cautioned:
2.5
• In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
2.0
• Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank each
as a C.
1.5
• Maximum number of course credits
taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of
Pass (P).
0.5
• P-graded courses do not count
1.0
0.0

not computed in the grade point average.
completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission
after determining that a student emergency
may delay completion of coursework.
Students who receive an incomplete grade
should be capable of passing the course if
they satisfactorily complete outstanding
course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an
Application for Incomplete Grade Form
with the Office of the Registrar that states
the reasons for the request, outlines the
work required to complete the course, and
includes the course instructor’s signature.
The instructor may stipulate the terms and
conditions that apply to course completion. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow
evaluation of the work by the instructor
and the filing of a grade before the final
day of the following academic term in the
student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the
course becomes 0.0.
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record.
Internships, independent studies, and
directed studies may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is the case, they
must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of
the first term of registration. A grade of X
(extension) is given by the instructor to
indicate that the study is extended. It is
expected that students given X extensions
will continue to communicate with their
instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A
final grade will be issued at the end of the
term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year).
An instructor has the right to not grant an
extension where satisfactory progress is not
demonstrated. If the course is not
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5,
1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken each term and
grades earned, including W and N, will be
recorded on the academic record. Only the
credits and grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated courses, are
counted toward graduation and in the
grade point average.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses
without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their
total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The
charge for part-time and Weekend College
students is listed under Weekend College
Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 24. The signature of the
instructor is required to register an audit.
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
requirements. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be
listed with a grade of W. Audited courses
do not count toward graduation and do
not fulfill general education requirements.
Grade Point Average
Academic Information 87
The grade point average (GPA) is based
on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and grade points for
work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the P/N grading option
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by
number of credits attempted.*
*Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned
Classification
Students are classified when grades are
posted at the end of each term.
Classification is based on the number of
course credits completed.
• Sophomores—7 completed course
credits.
• Juniors—16 completed course credits.
• Seniors—24 completed course credits.
■ 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 comprise the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The
Assessment of Previous Learning program
(APL) 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 demon-
strated 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:
International Baccalaureate Program
(IB)—Courses earned from the
International Baccalaureate program will
be considered by the College for advanced
placement and appropriate credit. Credit
granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office.
Advanced Placement Program
(AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn
credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected
Advanced Placement tests. For some
exams, a minimum score of 4 is required.
Inquiries should be addressed to the Office
of the Registrar.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by
the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing
centers. Students who score at or above the
American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination
may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Information
about CLEP tests is available from the
Office of the Registrar.
Departmental Comprehensive
Exams—These are available for students
to use in obtaining credit for previous
learning if the following conditions
are met:
• There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question.
88 Academic Information
• There is a faculty member designated
by the department to administer the exam.
• The registrar approves the student’s
request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis
only, and there is a charge per exam of
$400 for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program—This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning
portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of two faculty
members from fields of study directly related
to the student’s previous learning. Students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous
learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria:
• There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or
systematic study of content material found
within liberal arts coursework.
• The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
• The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
• The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals.
• The learning and skills involved are
current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit
assessment process after completing at
least four credits of academic work at
Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be
used when four or fewer courses remain
for graduation. There is a non-refundable
application deposit of $200 to initiate the
credit assessment process for each course
presented in a portfolio. An additional
$200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit is available on a P/N credit
basis only.
Transcript credit will be recorded with
the equivalent Augsburg course numbers
as determined by faculty reviewers.
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 campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) to be obtained through previous
experiential learning. In compiling the
eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination
of the five assessment processes available in
the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams,
IB exams, departmental comprehensive
exams, and credit granted through portfolio
assessment.
English Language Learners (ELL)
Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the
ELL placement test in conjunction with
the English writing placement test prior to
registering for their first term at Augsburg.
Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101
Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON
111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be
determined by their scores on the
Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption
from ELL courses) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the
English Language Learner’s course, an
objective test will be administered to all
Academic Information 89
students in the class. The score on this test
and the grade earned in the class will
determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to
100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will
fulfill the student’s ELL requirement.
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENL
217/218 until such time that they pass the
ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher.
The ELL course can be counted only twice
in the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course
completion, have completed the Modern
Language Core Skill requirement for
graduation.
■ ACADEMIC PROGRESS,
PROBATION, AND DISMISSAL
The College requires that all students
maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point
average (GPA).
It should be noted that a minimum GPA
of 2.00 is required for graduation, with certain majors requiring a higher minimum
GPA.
Students whose overall academic
achievement falls below a 2.00 GPA will
either be placed on scholastic probation at
the end of the term or will be continued on
probation or will be dismissed from the
College. In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a sophomore,
junior, or senior who receives three zero
grades will be considered for probation or
dismissal. However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Student Standing
Committee. Evidence of the student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration in deciding whether or not
to dismiss a student. Students who have a
poor academic record may be strongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a
term. Those on probation who voluntarily
withdraw from the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have special permission from the Student Standing
Committee to re-enroll. Students who have
been dismissed may apply for readmission
after one year, at which time the Student
Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any
statements and evidence attesting to his or
her commitment to academic success.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches
2.00. Students placed on probation as
freshmen for having earned two zero
grades may be removed from probation if
their classification changes to sophomore,
if they have not earned additional zero
grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 2.00. Students placed on probation as
sophomores for having earned three zero
grades may be removed from probation if
their classification changes to junior and
their cumulative GPA reaches 2.00.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
Dean’s List
The Dean’s List, compiled after each
semester, lists undergraduate students
whose grade point average for a semester is
3.50 or better. Students must be full-time
students (a minimum equivalent of three
full course credits for a weekday schedule
student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes in courses offered for credit.
Courses taken outside of a program’s calen-
90 Academic Information
dar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a
Weekend College trimester term by a day
student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when
determining the Dean’s List. If permission
is given by the student, an announcement
is sent to the hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean’s List.
Latin Honors
Augsburg recognizes those students
who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a baccalaureate
degree.
This designation and the standards set
are in effect for all students who complete
degree requirements in May 2004 or later.
Latin honors replaces the previous honors
designation of “With Distinction.” Students
may also receive honors recognition for
departmental honors and for participation
in the honors program. (See individual
department and program descriptions for
details.)
Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows:
Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00 GPA plus
successful completion of the summa oral
examination
Magna cum laude: 3.80-3.89 GPA
Cum laude: 3.60-3.79 GPA
To be eligible, a student must complete
a minimum of fourteen traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more
than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N
by the department will not be counted, nor
will “N” grades).
For additional information, including
the guidelines for the Summa Cum Laude
oral examination, go to the Latin Honors
section at <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/
registrar>.
Qualification for Commencement
Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the
month of May. Undergraduate students
who will not have met degree requirements
by the end of the spring term may qualify
to participate in commencement if: (1) no
more than three course credits/requirements will remain in their program at the
end of the spring term, and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the
summer or fall terms following participation in commencement. A student will not
graduate nor will a degree be conferred
until all graduation requirements are met,
regardless of participation in commencement.
Enrollment/Degree Verification
Augsburg College has authorized the
National Student Clearinghouse to act as
its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status.
Contact information is as follows:

the requirements of the Veterans
Administration regarding repayment of
educational assistance funds received.
■ FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
AND PRIVACY ACT NOTICE
The Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended,
provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year
Augsburg College is required to give notice
of the various rights accorded to students
pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with
FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records—You have the right to
review and inspect substantially all of your
education records maintained by or at
Augsburg College. Your request should be
submitted in writing at least one week
prior to the date you wish to review your
records.
Right to request amendment of
education records—You have the right to
seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation
of your right to privacy. This includes the
right to a hearing to present evidence that
the record should be changed if Augsburg
decides not to alter your education records
according to your request.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information —You have the right to be asked
and to give Augsburg your permission to
disclose personally identifiable information
contained in your education records,
except to the extent that FERPA and the
regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One
exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials
with legitimate education interests. A
school official is a person employed by the
College in an administrative, supervisory,
academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted
(such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
agent); a person serving on the Board of
Trustees, or a student serving on an official
committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another
school official performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review
an education record in order to fulfill his
or her professional responsibility.
Right to withhold disclosure of
“directory information”—FERPA uses
the term “Directory Information” to refer
to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for
any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg
College without notification of the request
or disclosure to the student.
Under FERPA you have the right to
withhold the disclosure of the directory
information listed below. Please consider
very carefully the consequences of any
decision by you to withhold directory
information. Should you decide to inform
Augsburg College not to release Directory
Information, any future request for such
information from persons or organizations
outside of Augsburg College will be refused.
92 Academic Information
“Directory information” includes
the following:
• The student’s name;
• The student’s address;
• The student’s telephone number;
• The student’s e-mail address;
• The student’s date and place of birth;
• The student’s major and minor field of
study;

received;
• The weight and height of members of
athletic teams;
• The student’s dates of attendance;
• The most recent previous educational
agency or institution attended by the
student; and
• The student’s photograph.
Augsburg College will honor your
request to withhold all Directory
Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no
liability for honoring your instructions that
such information be withheld. The Office
of the Registrar must be notified in writing
of your intent to withhold your Directory
Information. If the notice is not received
by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within
10 school days of the start of a subsequent
term for a new student), it will be assumed
that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current
academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year.
Right to complain to FERPA
Office—You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of
Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W.,
Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with
FERPA.

DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS
A
s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge and truth
are interrelated and are integrated into a
whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth
into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses that
make it more accessible to students. These
courses can be arranged in various ways to
construct majors, to create the substance
of a broad general education, and to give
students the opportunity to study areas of
particular individual interest.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS.
Descriptions of courses are arranged by
departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach,
requirements, and evaluations for a
particular course can be obtained from
the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals,
and its place in the College’s program. A
listing of requirements for individual
majors and minors follows the narrative.
Weekend College classes are published
each spring in a separate booklet and
online.
Since some courses are offered alternate
years, it is important that the student
review major requirements and course
offerings with an adviser to ensure that all
requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for Summer
Session, the Master of Arts in Education,
Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of
Arts in Nursing, Master of Business
Administration, Master of Science in
Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of
Social Work courses are published in separate catalogs.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are
offered. Unless noted, all courses are one
course credit. A full course is valued as
four semester credits or six quarter hours.
Most day program courses meet for three
60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required
for laboratory work. All full credit
Weekend College courses meet for eight
three-and-one-half-hour sessions during
fall and for seven four-hour sessions during winter and spring term.
Numbering
Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In

ART—ART
A
rt is essential. It teaches us to see,
claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore
the world, and express ourselves.
At Augsburg College, inspiration and
creativity grow from the diversity of ideas
experienced on a small campus in the
heart of a major metropolitan area. We balance a solid foundation of drawing, design,
and history with technical skills, critical
thinking, and creative exploration in a
range of media. On-campus galleries showcase the work of students as well as established artists. An innovative faculty pairs
creative curriculum for traditional disciplines in drawing, painting, ceramics,
sculpture, and photography with emerging
disciplines in hand papermaking, book
arts, architecture, and digital media. Class
sizes are small; we will get to know each
other.
Galleries and museums surround us;
art club, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time; service learning,
internships, and study abroad are integral
to our program. We reach an average of
700 students a year from all disciplines,
graduating 25-30 majors annually with
B.A. degrees in art history, studio art, art
education; and certificates in studio art and
graphic design.
For 40 years, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at
Augsburg College. We’re excited to be here
in the center of the city. We think you will
be too.

BIOLOGY—BIO
B
iology is the study of life, and it is
natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
Earth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanding
of the basic biological processes common
to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for
wise decisions.
In recent decades great strides have
been made in understanding important
biological processes, particularly those at
the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels. Biological research has also provided
some extremely important benefits to
humans, including advances in medicine,
agriculture, and food science.
An understanding of biological systems
depends, in part, on the principles of
physics and chemistry; thus a firm background in the physical sciences is also
important in the study of biology.
For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves as a basis for further study.
Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to
careers in college or university teaching,
basic and applied research, and public
health. Many have entered professional
programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have
gone directly into secondary education,
biomedical industries, laboratory research,
natural resources, and environmental education.

of Business Administration are designed to
meet the needs of working people looking
for specific skills to help them in their job,
or to pursue a new career. The Department
offers certificates in information technology, business management, and finance
through the Weekend College program.
Students who plan to major in business
administration, accounting, finance, MIS,
or marketing are strongly encouraged to
select a departmental adviser who teaches
in their major. This should be done by the
end of the sophomore year at the latest. In
addition to advising, departmental faculty
can counsel majors on their careers, assist

ACCOUNTING—ACC
T
he major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related positions.
This major has two tracks: general
accounting and professional accounting.
The general accounting specialization is
adequate for a wide variety of positions.
The professional accounting track includes
two specializations: public accounting and
managerial accounting. The public
accounting specialization is recommended
for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations
relate to two professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A certified public
accountant (CPA) focuses on external
reporting; a certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting.
The public accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CPA exam; the managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CMA exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in
addition to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the Minnesota State
Board of Accountancy, accounting majors
in the public accounting specialization are
qualified to sit for the CPA examination
after graduation.
Effective May 2006, students will need
to complete the equivalent of 150 semester
hours of education to be licensed as
Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). This
can be completed in four years through
accelerated undergraduate work. Another
option is to complete a four-year bachelor’s
degree plus a master’s degree.

CHEMISTRY—CHM
C
hemistry is the science that examines and works toward understanding
changes in matter. Chemistry has been
described as the central science because
matter includes the entire physical world,
such as the things we use, the food we eat,
and even ourselves. Correlating the
insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas
that excite and offer opportunities to better
the entire world.
Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their
work, including potential problems as well
as benefits.
Chemists as people must be broadly
educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as
offered in the general education curriculum is imperative if a chemist is to be both
truly human and truly scientific.
The department is on the list of
approved schools of the American
Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists:
•To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS chemistry
major to compete successfully with their
peers of similar ability in graduate school
or research positions.
•To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the traditional positions as chemists.
129
•To provide an atmosphere of learning
so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may
change after graduation, and be able to
move into new areas as opportunities arise.
•To encourage students to take a broad
view of their education and to integrate
outside study areas with the sciences.
•To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example
of the methodology of the natural sciences
in examining the world around us. The
presentation of major concepts underlying
the changes in matter, the opportunity to
examine change in the physical world, and
the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will
enhance the ability of non-science persons
to make better value judgments concerning
science questions in their own endeavors.

CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE—CLS
C
linical laboratory scientists perform
complex biological, microbiological, and
chemical tests on patient samples. They
also use, maintain, and troubleshoot
sophisticated laboratory equipment in the
performance of diagnostic tests. The clinical laboratory scientist analyzes these test
results and discusses them with the medical staff. He/she also possesses the skills
required for molecular diagnostic tests
based on DNA and RNA technologies. In
addition, the clinical laboratory scientist
will find opportunities in test development, experimental design, administration,
and education.
The curriculum requires a minimum of
six semesters on campus to complete the
pre-requisite curriculum. Students spend
an additional 12 months of clinical education in a hospital-sponsored, accredited
program during their senior year. A bachelor of science degree is awarded at the satisfactory completion of all required course
work.
Admission to the clinical laboratory science major is on a competitive basis.
Students apply for admission to the clinical
laboratory science program early in the fall
semester of the academic year just prior to
the beginning of their professional studies,
typically in the junior year. Formal acceptance into the hospital-sponsored program
is based on the submission of an application for admission to the major, personal
recommendations, review of academic performance, and interview with the Program
Admission Committee. A minimum grade
point average of 2.75 overall as well as in
science and mathematics courses is strongly recommended. Acceptance into the hospital program is not guaranteed by the
College. The hospital program affiliated
with Augsburg is the Fairview Health
Services. The program is accredited by the
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical
Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 W.
Bryn Mawr, Suite 670, Chicago, IL, 60631,

During the clinical component in an
accredited hospital program, students will
register for 12.25 credits. The clinical
phase routinely begins in June with anticipated graduation the following spring.
Graduates of the program are eligible to sit
for certification examinations offered by
national certification agencies.

COMPUTER SCIENCE—CSC
T
he Augsburg computer science
department strives to give students a sound
theoretical and practical foundation in
computer science. We offer both a B.A. and
a B.S. major. The coursework provides students a strong base in computer science,
with emphasis on concepts rather than on
applications. We encourage students to
strengthen their coursework by electing an
internship or cooperative education experience. Our location in the Twin Cities provides us with an excellent resource of such
experiences for students, and allows them
to add practical applications to their education.

ECONOMICS—ECO
T
he Department of Economics offers a
program that stresses a strong theoretical
background, quantitative analysis, and an
emphasis on national and international
issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or
to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts
emphasis within the major.
The department offers five majors. The
economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business
world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into
the field of computer science. The combined economics/business administration
major allows students great flexibility in
order to explore both fields. Finally, the
teaching major in political science/economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background
for teaching economics.
The study of economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze and
make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership
and leads to a great diversity of career
opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international
service. Pre-law and potential Master of
Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as
a major or a minor.
Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such
as business administration, international
relations, mathematics, management information systems, political science, history,
and area study programs. Students who are
interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in
business are encouraged to either major or
minor in mathematics. These students
should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course
suggestions.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the department chair
and the internship office before registering
for academic credit.
Note: Transfer students must complete
at least three upper division economics
courses for a major and two for a minor.
Transfer classes must have been completed
in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0
grade.

ENGINEERING
A
ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements with two universities to
allow students to earn a bachelor of arts
degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University
of Minnesota Institute of Technology,
Minneapolis; 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. Contact Jeff
Johnson, Physics Department,
612-330-1070.
University of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides
for two dual degree engineering programs:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of
Engineering (B.A./B.E.) enables students
to 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 Institute 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
Institute of Technology may be completed
during the second semester of the junior
169
year at Augsburg.
Bachelor of Arts/Master of
Engineering (B.A./M.E.) 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 Institute of
Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the
B.A./B.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./M.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 Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
170 Engineering
Michigan Technological University
This program enables students to
receive a bachelor of arts degree from
Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering
degree from 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 will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and
are recommended by the engineering
adviser of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore
opportunities for graduate work at
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
to apply to the engineering school of their
choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and
academic performance as criteria.
DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.
Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual-degree or three-two programs:
CHM 115 General Chemistry
CHM 116 General Chemistry
CSC 170 Structured Programming
ENL 111 Effective Writing
PHY 121 General Physics I

Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 24 courses
at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146 and
PHY 121, 122 are taken in the freshman
year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351, 352.
ENGLISH—ENL
T
hose who study English believe that
an intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
are and who they can become. Writing
helps all of us clarify and share our
thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence.
Through the study of English we see life’s
complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which
we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors.
With the other arts, English is concerned
with the pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of
works of art. With psychology and sociology,
English is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy, English
is interested in ideas and in the relation
between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering
order and determining structures. With
speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at different times
and in various cultures.
The Augsburg Department of English
integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities of this vital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or
recommended plays, films, and readings
available near the campus. English majors
have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through working in internships
on and off campus, tutoring English
Language Learners (ELL) students, or
tutoring in the writing lab.
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry, library sci-
171
ence, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.
Choosing a Concentration
The English Literature, Language, and
Theor y concentration provides students
various approaches to the life-enhancing
study of the written word and visual text.
Spotlight courses focus on specific authors,
genres, or themes, and provoke discovery
of new literary experiences. Courses in
African American, Native American, Asian
American, and post colonial literatures
reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English,
American, and World literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a
classically structured framework of study.
Courses in literary theory demand the
intense and intellectually challenging
engagement of text, culture, and self.
While some of our courses foreground
theoretical approaches to literature and
deeply examine race, class, and gender in
the consideration of their subject matter,
all of our courses infuse these concerns
into their engagement with primary works
of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, film,
and drama.
All literature classes involve students in
dynamic and enjoyable literary examina-
172 English
tion, and are taught by professors who love
teaching and who love literature. Our
classes develop and demand the skills of
aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical
reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing — skills of the
educated and employable citizen.
The literature, language, and theory
concentration offers courses of study crosslisted with American Indian Studies, Art,
Communication Studies, Film, Theatre
Arts, and Women’s Studies.
The English Writing concentration is
for students who intend to develop professional skills in either Creative or Media
Writing. Over the course of their study,
students will master terminology; understand historical, legal, and ethical issues
relevant to the field; and study the works
of established writers and professionals.
The writing major emphasizes expanding
competencies in observation, research, and
analysis that enable writers to gather material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work. Writing majors will
understand the interdisciplinary demands
inherent in creative and media writing
(including issues of design) and will
enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic
possibilities inherent in the writing life.
Writing courses are taught by dedicated
professors who are practicing writers themselves.
The writing concentration offers
courses of study cross-listed with Art,
Communication Studies, and Theater Arts.
The Communication Ar ts/Literature
Teacher Licensure Major is for students
who seek to be licensed to teach in
Minnesota in Communication
Arts/Literature. Students are encouraged to
take courses toward their major during the
freshman and sophomore years, and to
apply for the education licensure program
no later than the spring of their junior year.
Students in both programs must work
with advisers in the English department
and the education department in order to
meet the professional requirements within
the education department as well as the
requirements for the major. Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be
achieved through an English major, which
requires at least two additional, specific
courses, or through a Communication
Studies major.

Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing
(ENL 101) with a grade of 2.0 or higher
before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL
111).
Note: Students should register for ENL
101 during the first semester of attendance
if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111
should be completed, if possible, during
the first year.
Students in Developmental Writing
(ENL 101), Effective Writing (ENL 111),
HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional grading system or P/N grading in
consultation with their instructor up
through the last week of class (without
special permission/petition). Students who
choose to receive a traditional grade in
either course will receive a grade of N (one

HISTORY—HIS
H
istory is to society what memory is
to an individual; it brings to a civilization
an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed
it this way: “No community can survive
and no institution can function without
constant reference to past experience. We
are ruled by precedents fully as much as by
laws, which is to say that we are ruled by
the collective memory of the past. It is the
memory of common experiences that
makes scattered individuals into a community.”
The study of history enables us to deal
more knowledgeably with continuity and
change in society. The construction of an
informed sense of our past is a fundamental
ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the
future. History majors are prepared to be
active and contributing members of their
society. The study of history, which has
long held a major role in the liberal arts,
is an entry to elementary and secondary
education, graduate study in many fields,
and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing
of information.

he Augsburg Honors Program offers
an adventurous education where exceptional students with a passion for ideas can
be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike
any other honors program in the nation
because it gives students the resources and
freedom to create their own ideal higher
education. Students have the opportunity
to create their own courses, edit and write
for the Augsburg Review of Undergraduate
Scholarship, participate in an intramural
debate league, belong to an Honors House,
and learn through small reading groups,
research projects, and travel around the
world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and
includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great
books on trial, or building an interactive
museum exhibit. Honors courses bring in
professors from several different departments so you can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties.
For information, please contact Robert
C. Groven, Honors Program Director.
Honors Program Recognition
Students who finish the Honors

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
I
nternational study at Augsburg aims to
increase intercultural competency and
reflects the College’s strong commitment to
internationalism. Programs administered
by the Center for Global Education, by
International Partners, and by the Higher
Education Consortium for Urban Affairs
(HECUA) offer excellent opportunities for
rigorous academic work, greater understanding of cross-cultural issues, and
exploration of the benefits of global
citizenship.
Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as
they would if studying on campus. Courses
abroad can fulfill major, general education,
and graduation requirements when
approved by the appropriate program
directors and faculty before departure. An
approved study abroad will also fulfill the
Augsburg Experience.
Students in good academic and disciplinary standing (a minimum GPA of 2.50) at
Augsburg may apply to study off campus
through the study abroad adviser. In addition to semester and year-long programs,
short term programs also provide a number of educational opportunities. Students
interested in these or other external offcampus study experiences should contact
the study abroad adviser. Please contact the
study abroad adviser in the Office of
International Programs for a list of program deadlines. The cost for many programs is comparable to full room, board,
and tuition for on-campus study, plus airfare. Financial aid is granted on the same
basis as on-campus study.
■ THE CENTER FOR GLOBAL
EDUCATION
The mission of the Center for Global
Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of
local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading
to a more just and sustainable world.
The center’s study programs are conducted in Mexico, Central America, and
Namibia. They integrate rigorous academic
work with real-life experiences. Students
live in the midst of the society they are
studying, encountering the people and culture inside and outside the walls of a classroom. All programs include family stays,
regional travel, community-based living,
and opportunities for volunteer work and
internships.
International study programs administered by the Center for Global Education
and approved by Augsburg are listed below.
For information on these programs, contact the semester programs abroad office.
■ INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS
The International Partners program
combines rigorous academic work with
daily immersion in another culture. It
offers students an opportunity to study
abroad with outstanding faculty and to
gain practical experience overseas in their
major fields.
The program is founded on reciprocal
agreements with selected institutions of
higher learning in Norway and Germany.
Under these agreements International
Partner students from abroad receive part
of their academic training at Augsburg, and
qualified Augsburg students are guaranteed
admission to partner institutions, where
courses are pre-approved for credit toward
graduation requirements at Augsburg.

MATHEMATICS—MAT
M
athematics is the study of structure and relationships and provides tools
for solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world
from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the
problem solving and quantitative reasoning
skills that are increasingly expected of
every member of contemporary society.
Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts
education.
Students majoring in mathematics
acquire the skills necessary to serve society
through a variety of careers. In addition to
acquiring computational and problem solving skills, mathematics majors at Augsburg
develop their abilities to reason abstractly;
to conjecture, critique, and justify their
assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and
comprehend precise mathematical writing;
to speak and write about mathematical
ideas; and to experience working in teams
on mathematical projects. Students can
prepare for graduate school, for work in
business, industry, or non-profit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in
grades K-12. Students majoring in many
disciplines find it helpful to acquire a
minor or a second major in mathematics.
Students may choose coursework supporting the study of mathematics as a liberal art, its applications to science and
engineering, its applications to actuarial
science, computing, or economics, or in
preparation to teach. Augsburg’s urban
location allows students to gain experience
working with mathematics through internships, cooperative education, and the
practicum and colloquium courses.

MEDIEVAL STUDIES
T
he objective of Medieval Studies is to
introduce students to the culture of the
Middle Ages — its diverse history and
beliefs, its arts and literature — and to the
disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills
necessary for its serious study.
The major in Medieval Studies fulfills
the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal
arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages,
students majoring in Medieval Studies find
a model context for the pursuit of a liberal
arts degree in the modern world.
As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies
prepares students for life beyond college.
Because of its emphasis on precise reading
and analysis of texts, careful writing, and
spirited discussion, the major in Medieval
Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as
employment opportunities that require
abilities in communication, critical and
abstract thinking, and processing information.

HUM 120
Medieval Life in 12th-century Europe (Medieval Connections)
This is the introductory course for Medieval Studies. It uses an interdisciplinary approach to study European culture during a period known as the High
Middle Ages, roughly AD 1100 to 1300. It attempts to examine medieval culture as a complex system of thought and feeling, which includes history, religion, philosophy, literature, art, theatre, music, and food. It also takes an experiential approach to this material, for example, by having students and faculty
attend class in academic regalia, just as they did in medieval universities.

MODERN LANGUAGES
T
he Department of Modern Languages
at Augsburg College contributes in many
ways to realizing the College’s mission of
providing liberal arts education for service
in today’s world. The department is committed to the view that education should
go beyond career preparation and that
familiarity with the language and culture of
another people is an essential step in the
development of a truly global perspective.
The modern languages department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian, and Spanish.
Introductory courses in Ojibwe and
American Sign Language are offered at
Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese,
Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg
students through the College’s affiliation
with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities
colleges.
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation,
but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions.
Students anticipating careers in international business, social work, the diplomatic
corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or
minor in modern languages. In addition,
a minor in languages or linguistics is a
valuable research tool for those intending
to pursue graduate study in most academic
disciplines.

Study Abroad
Teaching Licensure
A semester of study abroad is required
for majors and some study abroad is
strongly recommended for minors. An
advanced-level internship in the major language (399) or an interdisciplinary internship (INS 199), linking language skills

the campus and the greater arts communities. These opportunities allow students to
explore the links between theory and
applied knowledge and may take many
forms, including internships; community
performances; music therapy practica;
community-based learning projects;
required off-campus performance and concert attendance assignments; or travel and
study within and outside the United States.

NURSING—NUR
T
he Augsburg Department of Nursing
is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities
in the health care field.
The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding; nurses practice in hospitals, clinics, corporations, parishes, government agencies, schools, and community
organizations, or in their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses provide
comprehensive health care for persons,
groups, and communities of diverse cultures and socioeconomic levels throughout
the life span.
The bachelor’s degree equips nurses to
synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts
with the art and science of nursing. The
nursing program at Augsburg also provides
educational opportunities to increase skills
in critical thinking, clinical investigation,
and decision-making in preparation for
challenging new nursing positions in
emerging care systems.
Augsburg’s nursing program, which
leads to a bachelor of science degree with a
major in nursing, is accredited by the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing
Education (CCNE). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for a public
health nurse registration certificate
through the Minnesota State Board of
Nursing.

NUR 305 Communication
NUR 306 Paradigms in Nursing
NUR 403 Families and the Life Cycle
NUR 410 Community Health Nursing I
NUR 411 Community Health Nursing II
NUR 490 Leadership/Management
A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and cumulative GPA of 2.50 are
required. Students also must complete
Augsburg’s residence and general education
requirements.
The program has been planned so that
the major can be completed over 15
months with a summer break; however,
students may pursue their studies at a
slower pace.
Courses in the nursing major are
offered on weekday evenings with a
practicum course (NUR 411) requiring
additional weekday time. More time may
be required to complete the total course of
study depending on the number of liberal
arts (general education) courses needed to
complete the BSN degree, and the number
of credits transferred from other colleges or
universities. Students in nursing may take
non-nursing courses in both day school
and Weekend College. Students interested
in pursuing the nursing major should consult with BSN Admissions staff in Weekend
College for program planning.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the honors major
requires: a GPA of at least 3.60 in the
major and 3.30 overall, application to the
department chair by November 1 of the
senior year, recommendation by nursing
faculty, and honors thesis to be presented
Nursing 259
before a faculty committee by April 15.
Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement.
Note regar ding Latin honors: To be eligible for Latin honors, a student must meet
minimum GPA standards as well as complete a minimum of fourteen traditionally
graded credits at Augsburg and have no
more than two elective pass/no pass graded
credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as
P/N by the department will not be counted, nor will “N” grades). For further information, see the Latin honors section on
page 90.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
The following steps may be taken in
any order, but all must be completed prior
to application for admission into the nursing major.
1. Submit an application to Augsburg
College. All applicants must present a high
school diploma or equivalent and a 2.20
GPA.
2. Graduation from a nationally accredited nursing program: Applicants must
have graduated from a nationally accredited associate degree or diploma nursing
program with a 2.50 overall GPA.
3. Unencumbered RN licensure: The
applicant must be a registered nurse who is
licensed and currently registered to practice in Minnesota prior to beginning the
nursing major.
4. Current clinical practice: Applicants
must give evidence of current clinical nursing practice (within the past five years).
This may include graduation from a school
of nursing, work experience, completion of
a nursing refresher course, or an acceptable
equivalent.
5. Applicants must have their own malpractice insurance and an updated immunization record.
Options for Completing the Degree
Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a
variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be
taken into account in any decision to work
toward a college degree. For this reason,
Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a BSN.
Nursing courses at Augsburg are available evenings and weekends through
Weekend College. Nursing classes usually
meet on alternate weekday evenings for
one three-and-one-half-hour time block.
Clinical practicum requirements usually
occur on weekdays.
It is recommended that most liberal arts
courses be taken before starting the nursing major. Nursing majors can complete
courses toward the baccalaureate at the
Minneapolis campus; at United, Mercy,
Unity and Children’s Hospitals in St. Paul,
Coon Rapids, and Fridley, MN; and in
Rochester, MN.

audit courses.
* This course involves an additional clinical tuition and clinical practicum hours.
PHILOSOPHY—PHI
P
hilosophy is in an important sense
the most fundamental of the disciplines.
All of the sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, it is concerned with asking and answering the
“big” questions that are the most basic. For
example, Is there a God? Is there life after
death? Are there absolute moral standards?
What kind of life is the best? What is
knowledge and what are its sources?
Students learn to ask and answer these
and other similar questions for themselves
through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by the study of
philosophers from the past and present.
The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy,
while others use the major to prepare for
other professional studies such as law,
medicine, the Christian ministry, or journalism.

Major in Computational Philosophy
In addition to a major and minor in
philosophy, the philosophy department
also offers a cross-disciplinary major in
conjunction with the computer science
department emphasizing areas of interest
in which philosophy and computer science
overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the
major is to augment the technical skills of
a computer scientist with the creativity and
liberal arts perspective of a philosopher.
The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an
excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See course listing
on page 149.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the philosophy honors
program is 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 that involves research above the
course level, and a defense of this thesis
before the faculty of the department.
Philosophy Minor
Five courses, including two from
PHI 241, 242, 343, and 344.
262 Philosophy
PHILOSOPHY COURSES.
PHI 110
Introduction to Philosophy
This course introduces students to typical philosophical questions (how we
know, if we can have certain knowledge, if there are universal moral principles, whether God exists, the nature of the mind, etc.), to philosophical
vocabulary, and to critical thinking and what it means to view the world
philosophically.
PHI 120
Ethics
By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they
use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical
approaches to evaluating moral actions and then applies them to contemporary issues. The Christian tradition will inform the considerations. Students
who receive credit for PHI 120 may not receive credit for PHI 125.
PHI 125
Ethics and Human Identity
A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, emotions, and
action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. Beginning by asking what the
end or purpose of human life is, students decide on the moral and intellectual
virtues required to reach the end. Topics of friendship and human love are followed by an analysis of human happiness. Students who receive credit for PHI
125 may not receive credit for PHI 120.
PHI 175
Philosophy of Love and Sex
The nature and history of romantic love. The ethics of sex in relation to love,
marriage, the institution of monogamy, and homosexuality are considered.
PHI 230
Logic
Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn the
rules that govern valid arguments and develop their ability to recognize and
construct sound arguments. The last part of the course focuses on informal
logic and inductive reasoning.
PHI 241
History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy
Central philosophical questions that concerned the Greek philosophers from
Thales to Plotinus and still concern us today: the nature of reality and its relationship to language and reason, the immortality of the soul, the nature of
truth and human knowledge, and the nature of the good life.
PHI 242
History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
Students will read writings by various medieval and Renaissance philosophers
in order to understand the process of philosophical assimilation involved in
constructing a Christian philosophy. Topics include: the nature of being,
human understanding in relation to faith, and the place of the image of God in
the human condition. (Suggested prior course: PHI 241. Spring)
Philosophy 263
PHI 260
Philosophy and the Arts
Philosophical issues raised and illustrated by painting, sculpture, literature,
music, architecture, and film: the truth and falsehood of aesthetic judgment,
the definition of art; the nature of aesthetic experience, the evaluation of art,
creativity, the relation between the artist’s intention, the work of art, and its
relation to the rest of the artistic tradition. For arts majors and students with a
strong background in the arts.
PHI 343
History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century
Philosophy
The major rationalists of the 17th century (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz), the
major empiricists of the 18th century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume), Kant’s synthesis of rationalism and empiricism, and 19th-century Idealism and the reaction
to it (Marx, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Mill).
PHI 344
History of Philosophy IV: 20th-Century Philosophy
A survey of major philosophical schools in the 20th-century: analytic philosophy, phenomenology, existentialism, pragmatism, and post-modern philosophy.
Focus of study is on major texts of these movements.
PHI 350
Philosophy of Religion
We systematically investigate a series of philosophical questions about religion. What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and if so,
what can be said about God? Can God’s goodness be reconciled with human
suffering? Are miracles and life after death possible?
PHI 355
Asian Philosophy
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies that underlie Hinduism,
Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. We focus on analyzing diverse views of
reality, the self, and recommendations on how to live.
PHI 365
Philosophy of Science
The course explores what scientific knowledge is, whether the scientist’s
knowledge of the world is profoundly different and better than that of the
non-scientist, and what degrees of certainty are yielded by scientific methods.
(Suggested prior course: one course in natural science)
PHI 370
Existentialism
Studies in the writings—both philosophical and literary—of prominent existentialist authors. The course examines what it means to be a being-in-theworld and explores such themes as absurdity, freedom, guilt, despair, and paradox. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy. Alternate years)
264 Philosophy
PHI 380
Ethics of Medicine and Health Care
The course discusses some fundamental ethical theories, which it then carefully applies to problems that arise in the areas of health care and delivery, allocation of scarce resources, human experimentation, genetic engineering, abortion, care for the dying, and euthanasia.
PHI 385
Introduction to Formal Logic and Computation Theory
An introduction to sentential and first-order logic including logical connectives, proof theory, and quantification. Formal models of computation including finite state automata, pushdown automata, and Turing machines.
Incompleteness and uncomputability. (1.5-hour lab for PHI 385. Prereq. for

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
See listing under Health and Physical Education.
PHYSICS—PHY
P
hysicists are a curious and ambitious
lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern
all physical aspects of the universe.
Historically called “natural philosophers,”
physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical
analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to
the largest galaxies and from the relative
stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery
activity of stars. Physics plays an important
role in many of the liberal arts disciplines
and contributes to society’s understanding
of such areas as energy, weather, medical
science, and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and the need to keep
abreast of rapid technological advances,
the department strives to give students not
only an understanding of basic concepts,
but also insights into recent developments.
A rigorous major provides students with
the preparation required for graduate study
in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work
in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The
department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that
enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science.
These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to
follow new developments in science with
heightened awareness and comprehension.
265
The department supervises the preengineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities
at both the bachelor’s and advanced degree
levels, and administers Augsburg College’s
portion of funds designated for the
Minnesota Space Grant College
Consortium, funded by NASA. It also
maintains active research programs
through its Center for Atmospheric and
Space Sciences and the Sverdrup
Laboratory for Biophysics, with support
from the National Science Foundation,
NASA, and other private and public
sources. Several students work as research
assistants in these efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative
education, internship, and undergraduate
research programs provide opportunities
for students to apply their knowledge and
problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

POLITICAL SCIENCE—POL
F
irmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science shares concerns
with the humanities, other behavioral sciences, and mathematics and the sciences.
The role and significance of authority in
human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced
faculty that offers courses in all major
areas of political science, and also possesses special expertise in the areas of campaigns and elections, comparative and
international politics, mass communications and other information technolgoy,
racial and ethnic politics, and American
public law.
Political scientists use systematic
inquiry and analysis to examine political
reality. The student who majors in political
science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and
conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student
will be encouraged to relate insights from
other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history, and
sociology to the study of politics.
Providing work in several subfields of
political sciene, the major supplies the
breadth appropriate for graduate work in
political science, public administration,
public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on
which to develop careers in public service,
business, communications, and other
fields. Legislative and other internships, as
well as significant independent research
projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg
political science students in the Twin Cities
area. Combined with broad, balanced, and
flexible course offerings, these special
opportunities enhance the student’s potential for graduate study and a successful
career.

PSYCHOLOGY—PSY
P
sychology is an exploration of
behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding
of individual and group behavior. The
study of psychology equips students to
understand and use the scientific method
to think creatively and critically beyond
the classroom. To prepare students for
graduate study and work in psychology,
the major emphasizes the complementary
components of a strong foundation in
research and theoretical work with the
application of knowledge and skills in
coursework, research experiences, and
internships within the community. The
curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential
dimensions of learning and the integration
of liberal arts and professional domains
prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social
services, research, law, government,
church, and medicine.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling,
physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in psychological
applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through
a variety of learning experiences including
group and individual projects, association
with Augsburg’s active Psychology Club,
Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student
research teams.

RELIGION, YOUTH
MINISTRY—REL, YFM
R
eligion asks questions and seeks
answers fundamental to humanity’s search
for meaning: Who are we as human
beings? (Who am I?) What is our relationship with each other, with the natural
world, and with God? (What is my place in
the world? What am I called to do?) What
do good and evil mean in this time and
this place? (Do I — or how do I — understand these concepts differently than those
from different times and ages?)
The study of religion, including inquiry
into the history and traditions of
Christianity, exploration of other major
world religious traditions, study and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible and New
Testament, and reflection on vocation, is
central to the mission and vision of
Augsburg College. At the center of the
AugCore, Augsburg’s general education
program, are courses in the Religion
Department. In these courses, students are
challenged and equipped to articulate what
they believe and to see that what they
believe matters. These courses also ground
students who wish to major or minor in
Religion or Youth and Family Ministry,
where they may more explore more deeply
the interpretation of the Bible, church history, theology, world religions, spirituality
and spiritual practices, as well as the practical aspects of the life and work of the
church.
Augsburg is a college of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and
this means that we are eager to engage in
dialogue with Christians of all denominations and with people who practice other
spiritual traditions or claim no religious
beliefs. We challenge all our students to
respect and learn from one another and to
AND

think critically about matters of faith and
reason.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
Majors
The Religion Department offers two
majors: Religion (REL) and Youth and
Family Ministry (YFM).
Prerequisites
Religion 100 (or 300 for advanced
transfer students) is prerequisite to all
other courses.
Graduation Requirements
Courses designated REL and YFM are
offered by the religion department. A maximum of 13 total REL and YFM courses
may be applied toward the 32-course
requirement for graduation. Taking extra
electives in REL or YFM may require students to complete more than the minimum
32 courses required for graduation.
Transfer Courses
All transfer courses for majors and
minors, including ACTC courses, must be
approved in writing by the chair. Only
courses successfully completed (2.0 or
above) within the last ten years will be
considered. In general, courses that meet
the transfer guidelines may only be applied
to elective credit for the major. Students
who have taken an approved introductory
course in Bible and/or Christian theology
283
284 Religion
at another college may take REL 300 in
place of the college REL 100 and 200
requirement; consult the registrar’s office.
Advising
All majors must have an adviser in the
department.
Departmental Honors
GPA of 3.50 in the major and 3.00
overall, research project approved by the
department, and colloquium with the
department. Application must be received
by the department by Dec. 30 of the student’s senior year.
RELIGION—REL
A religion major serves as a strong
foundation in the liberal arts. It prepares
students for professional work and/or graduate studies in a wide array of fields.
Certainly, students interested in seminary
and ministry are well-served by an undergraduate religion degree. Students who
wish to pursue graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, or
church history are also good candidates for
a religion major. Students interested in
graduate studies in most any field in the
humanities and social sciences could
choose a religion major. Law schools and
other professional schools, including medical schools, are attracted to students with
a religion degree and the skills of analytic
reading, critical thinking, writing, and
speaking acquired in pursuit of that
degree.

Graduates are social work professionals
prepared for practice that promotes social
and economic justice and encourages individual and group empowerment. The
social work undergraduate receives a bachelor of science in social work (BSW)
degree and is eligible to apply for licensure
as a generalist social worker. We also offer
a graduate masters degree in social work
(MSW). Both the baccalaureate and graduate social work programs are accredited by
the Council on Social Work Education.
Social work graduates embody the
Augsburg College motto, “Education for
Service.” Service learning and practica
assignments are integral to the curriculum.
The Twin Cities region offers a variety of
innovative and professional community
agencies. Bringing the local social welfare
resources into the classroom through presentations and internships allows students
to train with and learn from local, regional
and national social work leaders. Students
also work within social, cultural, ethnic,
and economically diverse communities,
becoming better able to practice in a global
society.
The social work major at Augsburg
College provides each student with a
strong foundation for graduate studies in
social work and other human service
fields. The social welfare minor and social
work electives offer students from other
disciplines the opportunity to gain knowledge about human needs, growth and
development, experience with urban
human services, and an introduction to
global issues of peace and justice.

SOCIOLOGY—SOC
S
ociology is the scientific study of
society as a whole and of human social
organization in groups. The sociological
perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how human
beings come to think and act as they do.
The goal of the department is to guide
students in gaining knowledge of the social
order, how it affects them in their daily
lives, and how it can be applied to their
vocation. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
scientific tools of analysis, and practice the
application of sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships,
independent study, and field studies. The
department urges students to use
Augsburg’s metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships, service
learning, and cooperative education enable
majors to apply the theories and research
skills of sociology while they explore
career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who
have majored in sociology are currently
employed in research, management, and
human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the
criminal justice field, and as professors of
sociology. Others have used the major as
preparation for advanced study in areas
such as law, the ministry, social work,
urban planning, and human services.

DEGREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS.
Students may choose to pursue the core
sociology major or they may opt for a specialized, interdisciplinary concentration
within the major.
Core Major
Sociology has a long-standing tradition
as an excellent undergraduate major that
applies to a number of fields from human
services to criminal justice to business to
public service. The foundation of the
major at Augsburg is that it provides a
clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the
major, and integrates and reinforces an
excellent set of important skills; those
skills include abstract thinking, writing,
critical analysis, basic research, integration
of theory and data, and the connection of
the individual and collective perspectives
in the unique way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally
develop those skills in our students and
serve them well. Thus, these required and
sequenced courses are also the core of the
concentrations that allow students to pursue their electives in a direction that adds
other skills related to areas of interest.
Those concentrations include: Community
Studies, Crime and Deviance, Cultural
Anthropology, Organizational Studies, and
Social Psychology.
The major includes a total of ten courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least two of which are upper division courses from the specified list below:
Core major:
SOC 121 Introduction to Human Society
SOC 362 Statistical Analysis
SOC 363 Research Methods
SOC 485 Sociological Theory
SOC 490 Senior Seminar
Sociology 299
At least two of the following upper-division
courses (Prereq: SOC 121):
SOC 349 Organizational Theory
SOC 375 Social Psychology
SOC 381 City & Metro-Urban Planning
SOC 390 Social Problems Analysis
SOC 410 Field Studies of Organizations
SOC 300 Special Topics: Organizational
Deviance
SOC 300 Special Topics: Juvenile
Delinquency
SOC 300 Special Topics: Sociology of
Law
Three additional sociology electives. SOC
399 (Internship) is highly recommended.
Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or better in
each required course to receive credit in
the major.
Concentration in Community Studies
This concentration is designed to give
sociology majors a concentration in urban
community studies, which includes an
applied sociology focus emphasizing city
and community planning with a required
internship. Courses required beyond the
core major requirements are: SOC 111,
SOC 381, SOC 399 and one additional
elective. See Garry Hesser for advising and
visit the department website for details.
Concentration in Crime and Deviance
Students interested in the traditional
aspects of criminal justice — courts, prisons, probation, and law enforcement — as
well as community crime prevention will
be served by this concentration in the
major. Courses required beyond the core
major requirements are: SOC 265, SOC
277, a topics course in Deviance and
Juvenile Delinquency or Organizational
Deviance, PSY 335, and an upper division
Internship approved by the department.
See Diane Pike for advising and visit the
department website for details.
Concentration in Cultural
Anthropology
This concentration offers sociology
majors an opportunity to examine and
develop the methods and theoretical perspectives used by cultural anthropologists
to study and understand the dynamics of
culture. To complete the concentration, the
sociology major must complete five additional courses beyond the core sociology
courses. Two of those courses must be
SOC 141 and SOC 499. The remaining
three courses must be selected one each
from three course groupings: World
Cultures, Anthropological Research, and
Theoretical Perspectives. See Eric
Buffalohead for advising and visit the
department website for details.
Concentration in Organizational
Studies
This concentration is designed for students who plan to work in organizational
settings including corporate, government,
and non-profit sectors. Students will learn
how organizations are structured, function,
and change, how people relate in organizational settings, and how organizations succeed and why they sometimes fail. This
concentration seeks to equip students with
skills to effectively lead and manage organizations, and to succeed within organizations while achieving their personal career
and professional goals. Courses required
beyond the core major requirements are:
Work and Society (SOC 222),
Organizational Theory (SOC 349), Field
Studies in Organizations (SOC 410), and
three courses in related fields — BUS 340,
one from BUS 242 or ECO 113, and one
from INS 325, COM 345, or COM 410.
Organizational Deviance (SOC 300) may
be a substitute for either BUS course. See
Lars Christiansen for advising and visit the
depart website for details.
300 Sociology
Concentration in Social Psychology
The intent of the social psychology
concentration is to provide sociology
and/or psychology students with a solid
disciplinary foundation along with specific
coursework to strengthen a cross-disciplinary social psychological perspective.
Coursework will emphasize research skills,
theoretical analysis, and applied work in
areas intended to prepare students for
careers in public relations, law, consulting,
research, social policy, and more. Courses
required beyond the core major requirements are: SOC 375, SOC 390, SOC 499,
PSY 105, PSY 325, and PSY 491. See James
Vela-McConnell for advising and visit the
department website for details.

THEATRE ARTS—THR
T
he study of theatre is firmly grounded
in the liberal arts, integrating knowledege
and principles from many academic and
artistic disciplines, including speech/communication, art, music, history, English,
literature, business, philosophy, and religion. Both the curriculum and dramatic
productions by the Theatre Arts
Department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for the campus while
also providing a solid base in classical,
modern, contemporary, and multicultural
theatre.
Augsburg’s location in the heart of a
major theatre center makes it an ideal
place to study theatre. At Augsburg we
seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theatre artists and
scholars, by encouraging connections
between our campus and the greater arts
community while also exploring connections between theory and application.
Student opportunity to make these connections includes course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist
Series (an annual series of events featuring
visiting theatre professionals from the Twin
Cities community who work closely with
students), and attendance at numerous
professional productions in the Twin
Cities. Augsburg theatre productions are
treated as unique learning laboratories
where students can enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional
artists-in-residence.
In addition to learning skills specific to
theatre, students in theatre arts learn valuable skills applicable to other professions:
collaboration, verbal and non-verbal communication, organization, critical thinking,
leadership, creativity, and self-expression.
Involvement in theatre arts can help prepare students for such careers as law, edu-
cation, business, communication, and journalism, as well as prepare theatre students
for careers in professional or academic theatre, television, and film. In order to prepare the student for graduate school or the
workplace, the department encourages a
second major or minor in such fields as
art, English, education, film, music, history, sociology, or religion.

area for which student is registered; 2. positive and professional attitude and work
ethic demonstrated by the student; and 3.
demonstrated competency in practicum
area. The positive evaluation of each of the
areas must be sufficient enough to lead to a
minimum grade of 2.0 in order to receive a
P grade.

• Consent of instructor
• Supervision by theatre faculty
• A minimum of 30 hours of assessed participation by the student

I hope you are looking a t this catalog

that you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the
community in which you will spend time for the
next several years.
I-
If you are reading this to find out more about
Augsburg College and an Augsburg education,
welcome to these pages. I believe you will find
5
that they not only tell you about the character
+.
and essence of our institution, but also about our
mission of service, particularly about those whom we serve in a modern, vibrant city. Augsburg
College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and it is in the city
that our College both serves and thrives. As you study here, you will find a setting that not only
provides a great learning laboratory, but one in which you will be able to share your own talents
and skills. Augsburg's challenging academic environment is enhanced by both educational and
service experiences that trandorm theory into action and unite the liberal with the practical in
preparing students as leaders for service in a global society.
Y
F
.
The study you are undertaking at Augsburg-r
thinking of undertaking-will occur on a small
campus in the core of a great city; it will be led by faculty preoccupied with your welfare and
the emergence and refinement of your vocational plans.
A you join Augsburg, or consider doing so, please know that those of us who await
you here find the College an exciting setting, full of diversity and yet possessed of a community
dedicated to higher learning and good living, in which you can set off in new directions and
from which new destinations are reachable.
Bon voyage!
Sincerely yours,
William V. Frame

A
Selection from over 50 majors
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is the
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Augsburg offers more than 50 major*
or you can create your own major, either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while
a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC
includes Augsburg College, the College of
St. Catherine, Hamline University,
Macalester College, and the University of
St. Thomas.
Discovering your gifts and talents
The Weekend College Program offers
18 majors.
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg Core Cumculum- designed
to prepare students to become effective,
informed, and ethical citizens. Through
"Search for Meaning" courses, students
explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a
lifetime-writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a
few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the mission of the College:
"To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the
context of a vital metropolitan setting, and
by an intentionally diverse campus community."
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.

About Augsburg 11
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-19071, required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church.
12 About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a cumculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William \! Frame became president
in August 1997. Under his leadership, the
College has sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education,
grounded in vocational calling, that provides students both the theoretical learning
and the practical experience to succeed in
a global, diverse world.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 18,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to undergraduate liberal
arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's
degree programs in business, education,
leadership, nursing, physician assistant
studies, and social work.
WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg's Weekend College program
provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a baccalaureate
degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more
areas of the liberal arts.

About Augsburg 13
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today with approximately 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 18 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in Weekend College
are full-time Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct professionals. The Weekend
College student body is involved in student government, and students participate
in academic and extracurricular activities
such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations.
A Community of Learners
Augsburg Weekend College continues
to develop to meet the needs of the adult
and nontraditional student.
The heart'of any educational institution
is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal degree
and all consider teaching to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support
and are secondary to their teaching. They
are actively involved in a dynamic faculty
development program that introduces
them to current thought in many fields,
but especially in teaching and learning
techniques and theories.
The Adult as Learner
Augsburg Weekend College is based on
the assumption that students who enroll in
the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a
combination of classroom experience and
individual study. Each course is divided
into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent
study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this learning format,
classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either
Friday evening, Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon.
Laboratory sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students may take from
one to four courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on weekday
evenings and are open to both day and
Weekend College students. The academic
year for Weekend College is divided into
three trimesters.
Essential to the goals of Augsburg's
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and
women with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of
College facilities such as Lindell Library
and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and athletic events.
Weekend College Faculty
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg has established a branch
campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes
in Rochester meet on an evening or weekend schedule, making them accessible to
working adults. There are three trimesters
in each academic year, following the same
schedule as the Weekend College program.

W TRANSFER STUDENTS
Augsburg College welcomes students
who wish to transfer from other colleges or
universities. College credit is granted for
liberal arts courses completed at regionally
accredited institutions with a grade of
2.O/C or better. Augsburg does not grant
credit for developmental courses, technical
courses, or courses with grades below
Z.O/C. The College reserves the right to
require that certain courses be taken at
Augsburg.
Augsburg operates on a course credit
system rather than semester or quarter
hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter
hours. Transfer credits from semester or
quarter hour institutions are converted to
Augsburg credits by dividing by four or
six, respectively.
Augsburg College limits transfer credits
from two-year colleges. Students may
transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits
(96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges.
Once a student reaches these credit limits,
no additional credits will transfer from
two-year institutions toward the 32
Augsburg credits required for a baccalaureate degree. Courses taken beyond the credit limit can, however, be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Augsburg
students should consult with their faculty
adviser and the Office of the Registrar
before taking courses at other institutions.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of at least 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) in
previous college work is recommended for
admission to the College.
The evaluation of transfer credits is
completed by the Office of the Registrar
and is based on a student's official transcripts. The registrar's office evaluates
coursework for credit and for applicability
toward Augsburg Core Curriculum
requirements. Academic departments are
responsible for evaluating the applicability
of coursework toward a student's major or
minor. The major or minor department
may require certain courses or a minimum
number of courses be taken at Augsburg.
Students transferring from the
Minnesota State College and University
System who have completed the Minnesota
Transfer Curriculum, have earned the
Associate of Arts degree from MNSCU, and
have a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA
or higher will be given transfer status as
outlined below.
The following applies only to the
MNSCU A.A. graduate:
1. Admission will be with junior standing following the Minnesota Transfer
Curriculum. A maximum of 16 Augsburg
equivalent credits (64 semester credits or
96 quarter credits from a community college) will be accepted. No additional credits may be transferred from a community
college.
2. All Augsburg Core Curriculum
requirements will be waived except:
REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology,
and Vocation Course

Writing Graduation Skill requirement
HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness or
one HPE lifetime activity course
(depending on transcript assessment).
This requirement is waived for students who have transferred two
equivalent courses
3. Courses with D grades will not be
accepted as prerequisites or for application
to majors. Some Augsburg majors require
additional prerequisite coursework beyond
the A.A. degree. Students are advised to
consult major departments for major
requirements upon transfer.
Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary.
Please check with the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions and consult the
departmental section of this catalog.
Note: No student who falls below the
standards for automatic admission to the
College will be considered for admission
by the Admissions Committee after August
15 for entry in fall semester or December
15 for entry in spring semester.
FORMER STUDENTS
Students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg College for one semester or more without requesting a leave of
absence and who wish to return must
apply for re-admission through the registrar's office. Students who have attended
other institution(s) during their absence
from Augsburg must have an official tran-
script sent from each institution to the
Office of the Registrar. Returning students
do not pay the application fee.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(NON-DECREE)
In some circumstances, people may be
admitted as special students (non-degree)
and granted the privilege of enrolling in
courses for credit. Students may request a
change in their degree status by submitting
a.petition to the registrar's office.
Students regularly enrolled at another
college may take coursework at Augsburg
College as a special student (non-degree).
An application form for special-student
status is available from the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions. To apply for
admission as a special student, submit the
completed admission application and academic transcripts to the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who have graduated from
Augsburg who are returning to complete a
second major will not be awarded a second
degree unless it is a different degree from
the first awarded. Minors are not noted on
the transcript if they are completed after a
baccalaureate degree has been awarded.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
(SECOND DECREE)
Students who have completed a
four-year degree at an accredited college
or university may complete a second
degree at Augsburg College. Second degree
requirements include: a minimum of eight
course credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any
liberal arts requirements not covered by
a previous degree.
Depending on the student's previous
degree, completion of a second major
(non-degree) may also be an option.

churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income.
However, the primary responsibility for
paying for a college education rests on students and their families. Financial aid is
intended to supplement those resources.

(at the minimum of $40 a month) begin
nine months after you leave school.

Federal Stafford Student Loan
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford

and during the grace period.
For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan,
interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible
for all interest. The borrower may choose
to make payments while in school or may
defer payments and allow interest to
accrue and be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Stafford Loan is variable and changes
annually on July 1. Interest is capped at
8.25%.

xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and develo~ment"'0 occur in formal and
informal activities of the Colleg'e and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college
pastor, and campus ministry staffhave
officesin the F ~~ ~~ b
~~ ~, i Center
~ kl , ~
for Worship, Drama, and Communication
and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program assists students in this
journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the curriculum, co-curricular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
College. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to explore
Christian ministry Contact the director of
Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights,
and provides the means for discussions
and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg.
Student Government is organized into
several committees. Elections are held in
the spring for the next year. Freshmen
elect their representatives in the fall of
their first year. Many kinds of involvement
are possible-program planning, writing,
editing, or service opportunities. If you
want to get involved, contact the president
or vice president of the student body in
their offices in the lower level of the
Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment.
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, speakers, and visiting personalities
in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (student lounge) is a popular hangout located in the lower level. Many of the
clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests meet here. Student
offices in this area include the College
newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The
Augsburgian; Student Government; the
community senrice organization, the LINK;
and the Augsburg Student Activities
Council (ASAC).

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

Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs
offices work to bring together the student
learning found in the classroom with the
activities of experiential education and
work, residence life, and the learning
resources of the library and information
technology. The following sections elaborate on facets of student life. The formal
academic programs and requirements are
described on page 56.

increase awareness of health issues and
assist students in adapting new behaviors
for a healthier lifestyle. Health Promotion
also works with various campus agencies
to foster positive change within the
campus environment.
HEALTH INSURANCE
Augsburg College does not require that
students have health insurance, with the
exception of international students and
students who participate in intercollegiate
athletics. If a student is not covered by a
health insurance plan, they may purchase a
student policy by contacting the Center for
Counseling and Health Promotion for
more information.
HEALTH CLINIC SERVICES
The College offers basic health care services to students through a contract with
UFP-Smiley's Clinic. These services are
limited. For students without health insurance, Smiley's Clinic provides certain clinic
health services with a minimal co-pay at
the time of the visit. Emergency services of

any kind are not covered through the contract between Augsburg and Smiley's
Clinic. Students with health insurance can
also access Smiley's Clinic for a variety of
clinic or other health services. A student's
health insurance provider will be billed for
medical services and the student will be
responsible for any co-pays or deductibles
associated with their insurance.

Student Life
Students who choose to make
Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends
among roommates and classmates. They
are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice
arena, fitness center, and Christensen
Center. With just over 900 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet
each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance
of the residential experience during the
college years. Studies show that students
who live on campus are more likely to
complete their degrees. Residence life staff
are on hand to help students become
acquainted with life at Augsburg through
social and educational events. They are
also ready to assist students who need help
or friendship.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, fun, and leadership.
Research indicates that students living in
residence halls also earn higher grades and
gain greater satisfaction during their college career. Numerous events are planned
to welcome students to the community
including dances, movie nights, coffee
house concerts, and weeks devoted to special themes or issues.
Resident students have access to a 24hour computer lounge and study, 24-hour
security, laundry facilities, and vending
machines. All rooms and apartments are
equipped with hook-ups for telephone,
cable television, computers, and Internet
access. A skyway connecting the lobby of
Urness and Mortensen Hall to Christensen
Center keeps students out of the weather
on the way to class.
In order to secure housing, students are
urged to make their enrollment deposit by
May 1, as well as submit a housing deposit
and contract to reserve a space. For those
making enrollment deposits after May 1,
housing is determined on a space available
basis. During spring semester, current
Augsburg students are provided with information on the process to secure housing
for the next academic year.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
AND PRIVACY ACT
The Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended,
provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year
Augsburg is required to give notice of
the various rights accorded to students
pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg's
policy is published in this catalog on page
87 and in the Student Guide distributed
annually to students.
Augsburg College understands that no
information other than "directory information" can be released without the written
permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the

official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty
or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written
permission is given by the student to
release non-"directory information." It
is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
Complete information about Augsburg's
procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar.

ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students
must be educated intellectually, spiritually,
and physically To act effectively, human
beings must have a broad grasp of the
world from which they have come as well
as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts,
natural sciences, and social sciences, the
general education curriculum introduces
students to the breadth and complexity of
knowledge and culture.
Required Search for Meaning courses
are designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition, introduce them to
other faith traditions, and encourage them
to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation
courses offer students opportunities to
develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 50 major
areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a
career or further study. Thus, through a
balance of curricular activities supported
by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real
world for the real world.
H DECREES OFFERED
Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts,
the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of
science degrees. Augsburg also offers the
master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and
education), the master of business administration, the master of science (in physician assistant studies), and the master of
social work degrees.
H ACADEMIC CALENDAR
The Augsburg day program follows the
semester calendar, with fall and spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Fulltime students normally take four course
credits each semester.
The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities,
so students can take a course on another
campus during the regular term. (See
Registration on page 70 and Calendars on
pages 4-7.)
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a
trimester calendar. Some classes may meet
on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is
held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from
January through early April. Spring classes
are held from mid-April through the end of
June. There are 7-8 class sessions each
trimester, and classes meet on weekends
for three and one-half to four hours. (Refer
to the program schedule for weekday
evening meeting times.) Students may take
from one to four classes each term.
Courses and majors offered through
Weekend College are the same as their day
program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts
courses and majors.
Augsburg offers two summer school sessions. A maximum of four course credits
(two per term) can be earned in the two
five-week-long summer sessions. The
Summer Session Catalog is published in the
winter of each year.
Augsburg graduate programs follow a
trimester calendar, except for Physician
Assistant Studies. (See Graduate Programs
on page 68.)

FACULTY
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty. Augsburg College is particu-
larly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a
doctorate or the highest degree in their
field, and all consider teaching to be the
focus of their activity Faculty are also
involved in a variety of professional and
research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that
introduces them to current thought in
many fields, but especially in teaching
techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
Every freshman is assigned an Augsburg
Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major
adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act
as both mentors and models for students.

cated, majors are part of the bachelor of
arts degree.
2. Develop a student-designed major
program proposal that includes:
Student-Designed Major
a. A statement of learning goals and
objectives.
Students may design their own major
with the assistance and approval of three
advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg
College Academic Affairs Committee
(AAC). A student-designed major allows
flexibility in selecting major courses. Any
student wishing to design a major must
complete a proposal, submit it with
approval and supporting letters from three
faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval
of the program. Students should seek AAC
approval as early as possible so that any
changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting
the student's proposed completion date.
The deadline for initial submission of the
program design to AAC is the first term in
which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the
term before the student achieves senior status.
Students wishing to design majors
must:
1. Develop the student-designed major
in concert with three faculty advisers from
relevant fields, who together constitute the
Review Team. All advisers must sign the
proposal cover sheet and submit supportmg letters of approval to AAC. Supporting
letters should assess BOTH the student's
~bilityto complete the proposed major and
:he validity and value of the proposed
najor, including (in at least one of the let:en) the proposed capstone course. The
tdvisers' signatures and supporting letters
.epresent their approval of the program,
ncluding the capstone course, and their
:ommitment to oversee the student's
xogress.
b. A list of proposed courses (minimum
of nine, no more than one of which is a
lower-level language course and at least
five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to
the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated
with a college major Proposals must
include research describing comparable
programs of study at a minimum of three
other academic institutions. In addition,
students should consult with the Center
for Service, Work, and Learning for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core
Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled.
c. A description of the student-designed
major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should
devise the capstone in consultation with
advisers. It should require an integrative
project/paper that draws together the
course work up to that point andlor prepares one for further study In addition, at
least one of the advisers must specifically
address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter,
though approval of the student-designed
major program by all advisers presumes
their approval of the capstone course.
3. Submit the completed proposal and
supporting documentation to the AAC
Chair. The student will be informed of the
date that AAC will hear the proposal. The
student and advisers, one of whom must
attend, will be invited to a meeting if AAC
has questions.
58 Academic Information
If AAC approves the proposed major
program, the student will be expected to
complete the program designed and still
meet all of the other Augsburg degree
requirements as stated in the college catalog.
Students who design their own majors
will meet with their advisers regularly
throughout the design and subsequent
evaluation of their program. Changes in
the approved student-designed major may
be made through the normal petition
process to the Student Standing Committee
with adviser approval.

HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program is rooted in the
Augsburg Core Curriculum. As such it is
shaped by the themes of Vocatio
(Vocation), Caritas (service and leadership); and citizenshipin a diverse world,
both locally and globally. The Honors
Program recasts this distinctive mix by
underscoring the public uses of knowledge, by recognizing that intelligence
expresses itself in many ways, and by
embracing an intentional interdisciplinarity
in its curriculum. While celebrating the
signature elements of the Augsburg Core
Curriculum, the Honors Program transpos-

es them to a new key, even a kind of academic jazz, in which committed students are
encouraged to traverse new domains and
improvise novel themes appropriate to new
circumstances.
The Honors Program is a community of
people who are committed to achieving an
exceptional education by exploring the
many dimensions of fundamental ideas.
Fundamental ideas such as "all people are
created equal" and "all knowledge begins
with experience" shape our construction of
the valuable, our deliberations regarding
the ethical, and even our identification of
the factual. Honors education believes that
when we engage freely in Socratic dialogue
about knowledge and wisdom, we find our
noblest calling as people.
The Honors Program strives to provide
an enriched environment in which the pivotal questions of human experience can be
explored and the skills to navigate a complex world can be mastered. Honors students learn the value of interpersonal networking and team-generated solutions to
new ~roblemsthat emerge in dynamic,
worldwide markets and evolving political
realities. In fact, graduation from the program is advantageous for graduate school
admission or career placement.

Academic Information 67
ter incorporating an experiential educational focus emphasizing the importance
and value for all students to engage in service- and work-based learning experiences
and the exploration of personal and professional vocation throughout their college
years. The center encourages students to
take advantage of Augsburg's metropolitan
location through the highly successful service-learning, internship, and career planning programs that link the College's academic programs to community organizations and businesses.
Service- and work-based experiential
education opportunities are closely related
to students' coursework, majors, andlor
career interests. Learning opportunities
may be in non-profit organizations,
churches, schools, government agencies,
community-based organizations, small and
mid-size companies, and large corporations.
The underlying assumption is that a
liberal arts education is an effectivepreparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowing and doing" adds
breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making
more informed academic, personal, and
career decisions.
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning includes the following programs:
Community Service-Learning
Augsburg's Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with
opportunities to understand and respond
to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement. A key component of community service-learning includes reflection, on and
analysis of community issues in order to
promote personal and educational growth
and civic responsibility. Through connecting classroom content with service,
Augsburg students learn from and about
the organizations where they serve and
deepen their understanding of course
knowledge. This dynamic and interactive
educational approach employs reciprocal
learning between the students and the
community. Community service-learning
examples include tutoring at schools and
literacy centers, volunteering at homeless
shelters, Habitat for Humanity, and community centers, or working with cultural
and environmental groups.
The service-learning program also
works closely with the student-directed
Augsburg LINK, residence hall directors,
and campus ministry.
Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully
planned, service- or work-based learning
experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning
objectives. Academic credit is received for
the learning derived from the experience.
A learning agreement plan, negotiated with
a faculty supervisor and work supervisor,
outlines the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods.
An academic internship is approved,
supervised, and evaluated by a faculty
member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship credit. Internships can be registered for 1
course credit or .5 course credit.
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), or summer
sessions. Inter-disciplinary internships are
also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and
Grading on page 80.
A maximum of four courses of intemship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.

Crossover Registration Policy
Every Augsburg undergraduate student
is admitted to a "home program," either
day or Weekend College. It is expected
that students will complete most of their
degree requirements through their home
program. However, full-time students may
register for up to 1.0 credits per term outside their home program. Enrollment will
be based on class availability.
Students will be charged the rate of
their home program for courses in which
they enroll outside their home program.
The rate will be based on the maximum
credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms.
For example, a day program student taking
2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0
credits in the WEC program, bill be considered full-time and will be charged the
full-time day program tuition rate. A W C
student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program,
will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits.
Day students taking over 4.5 credits
will pay the day part time rate for any
credits over 4.5 in their combined
day/WEC load (Spring day term will
include both Winter. WEC and Spring
WEC). The maximum number of credits
that may be included in the day full-time
tuition rate for students who cross-register
is 4.5 .
Students have registration priority in
their home program. Crossover registration
begins only after the open web registration
period closes for both programs. A schedule is published on the regispar's office
web page. There is a special crossover registration form that must be processed at
the Enrollment Center. This registration
option is not available by web.
The WEC program is not part of the
ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin
Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC
students may NOT crossover to attend
ACTC courses.
Students must have completed their
undergraduate degree and be admitted to a
graduate program before taking graduate
level courses from that program (an exception is made for AAC-approved courses in
the Department of Nursing and the joint
B.A. AccountingMAL). Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay
the graduate rate for those courses. Any
student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate
level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the
program in which the course is offered.
Change of Program
Students may apply to change their
"home" program by filling out a Change of
Program form available at the Enrollment
Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one
each academic year.

Registration
All day students are required to meet
with their academic adviser prior to registration. Incoming freshmen and transfer
students may register during summer for
courses in the fall. All currently enrolled
day students may register during the fall
for the spring term and during the spring
for the fall term.
Weekend College students may register
during the designated time prior to the
start of each term.
The primary method of registration will
be via the Web through AugNet during the
open registration period. Please reference
the academic calendar for specific dates.
Day students will be able to register only
after meeting with their faculty adviser.
The Enrollment Center is also available to
process regismation forms. Note: Web registration may not recognize prerequisites
fulfilled by transfer work. In these cases,
please process your registration at the
Enrollment Center.
Once the open registration period ends,
returning students registering for the first
time for the coming term will be assessed a
late registration fee. The Enrollment
Center will process all registration forms
after the Web closes.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon
courses for which they are registered
because this will result in a failing grade
on their official academic record.
Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from
the College must be completed in the
Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the
College form may be obtained at the
Enrollment Center or downloaded from
the registrar's Web page. Withdrawal from
the College cannot occur during final
examination week unless a petition is
approved by the Committee on Student
Standing. Withdrawal from college and any
consequential adjustments in accounts are
effective as of the date the Withdrawal
from College form is returned to the registrar's office.
Students are responsible for keeping
the registrar's office informed of their current mailing address.
Military Called to Active Duty
Augsburg College will allow students to
withdraw from courses without penalty if
they are called to active duty as military
reservists, National Guard, or for other
military service. This shall include a 100%
refund of tuition and fees upon verification
of call to active duty. The student must
provide a copy of orders.
If the student is called to duty after the
deadline to drop a course, the registrar will
place a W for the course(s) along with a
notation on the transcript that the student
was called to active duty. This is to assist
the student with any financial aid complications that may arise from a failure to
note attendance on the transcript, and also
indicate that the withdrawal was outside of
the student's control.
Alternatively, the college supports faculty in enabling students who are called to
active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon
the coursework completed, or work out an
"incomplete" agreement. Students who are
able to complete some of their courses
would have their refund adjusted to reflect
this.
Students who are being placed on
active duty should contact the registrar
andlor the Office of Academic and Student
Affairs as soon as possible so the College
can notify all parties and aid in this
process.

Student Standing Committee
The Student Standing Committee deals
with requests for minor exceptions to academic policies and procedures. Typically,
the Committee reviews requests for:
Changes after registration deadlines
(adding, withdrawing, or grade option
changes)
Note: Petitions for an exception to the
published registration deadlines will
require a $50 petition fee attached to the
petition. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the petition.
Extending time for an incomplete.
Permission to take a course overload.
Minor exceptions or transfer course
substitutions for academic requirements.
In addition, the Committee reviews students' transcripts in determining academic
probation or dismissal from the College on
academic grounds. The Committee also
hears appeals from students who have been
dismissed for academic reasons.
The Committee reviews student
requests for readmission to the college
after dismissal or returning after leaving
while on probation.
The Committee typically meets every
other week throughout the school year
(September-April),and once a month during summer.
Note: Petitions involving adding or
dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted
within six months of the published registration deadline for the term involved.
Petition Process
Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the
Enrollment Center or download from the
registrar's Web page: <www.augsburg.edul
enroll/registrar/index.html>.
Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely Include documentation for illness.

comments from faculty will be returned for
completion.
Step 3: Return the completed petition
form to the Office of the Registrar1
Enrollment Center, include signed
drop/add form and $50 check if applies.
Step 4: A copy of the petition with the
Committee's decision is returned to the
student's campus box after the committee
meets
Re-Admitted Students
Former Augsburg students, re-admitted
to complete a degree after being away from
the College for at least one calendar year,
have a choice between using the catalog in
effect when they first enrolled, if possible,
or using the catalog in effect at the point of
re-admission. The election to complete a
degree under a new catalog must be submitted in writing to the registrar's office.
Some departments will not accept coursework taken more than seven to ten years
ago. Students must meet all of the requirements in effect under the catalog they
choose. Choosing to complete graduation
requirements under the current catalog
will require re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine its applicability to the current catalog
requirements.
Students who graduated from Augsburg
who are returning to complete a second
major will not be awarded a second degree
unless it is different from the original
degree awarded. (B.A., B.M., B.S.) Minors
are not noted on the transcript if they are
completed after a baccalaureate degree has
been awarded.
--
Academic Information 75
The responsibility for ensuring that all
degree requirements are satisfied rests with
the student. All students are required to
file a graduation application with the registrar's office one year prior to graduation.
Faculty advisers, the Academic
Advising staff, department chairs, and the
registrar staff are available for counsel and
assistance in program planning.
Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree
should contact the Office of the Registrar
about specific requirements for a second
baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent
of a major. See page 23 in the printed catalog in Undergraduate Admissions-Special
Students (Second Degree).
Each student must apply for graduation at the end of his or her junior year.
Students should apply before the start
of their last academic year to confirm
remaining graduation requirements.
Application forms are available at the
Enrollment Center or on the registrar's
Web page.
All degree and course requirements
must be completed and verified in the
Office of the Registrar prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no
incompletes or open courses on the academic record).
Requirements For Undergraduate
Graduation:
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a
major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a
minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and
in total course work, and residence.
1. Completion of 32 course credits
-No more than 13 course credits may be
in one department, except in certain
approved majors: accounting (B.A.) - 14;
music education (B.M.) - 17; music performance (B.M.) - 14.5; music therapy (B.S.)
- 17; and social work (B.S.) - 15.
No more than these maximums may be
applied toward the 32 total course credits
required: two courses by independent/
directed study; four courses of internship;
and six course credits with a grade of Pass
(P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two P/N
graded courses. Each department sets its
own limitations on the number of P/N
graded courses that may be applied toward
the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than
two course credits with P grades toward a
major and no more than one course credit
with a P grade toward a minor. The
Departments of Education and Social Work
are examples of departments that allow
students to apply more than two course
credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching or field work practicums).
2. Completion of a MajorRequirements for each major are listed
under the departmental headings.
3. Completion of the Augsburg
Core Curriculum-Requirements for the
Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in
the next section.
4. Grade Point Average-2.0 for
most majors. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required for all courses taken
and specifically for all courses that apply
toward a major or special program. Some
majors, licensure, and certification require
higher grades in each course or a higher
grade point average. (For example, see
licensure in education, music education,
music performance, music therapy, nursing, and social work.) See the departmental
section for details.
76 Academic Information
5. Residence-The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no fewer than
seven of the last nine credits/requirements)
must be completed at Augsburg or within
an approved ACTC exchange program. No
fewer than a total of nine credits are to be
taken at Augsburg College. Contact the
registrar's office if an official interpretation
is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required
to be taken in residence within the major
and minor. Consult the catalog description
of the major/minor or the chairperson of
the department.
THE AUCSBURC CORE
CURRICULUM
The Augsburg Core Cumculum is
designed to prepare students to become
effective, informed, and ethical citizens
through their engagement in a cumculum
that:
Provides a liberal arts foundation and
promotes the acquisition of intellectual
and professional skills;
Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for
meaning; and
Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, one's place of
leadership and service in a diverse worldvocatio and caritas.
The curriculum has three major components:
The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
The Liberal Arts Foundation
Skills Requirements
THE AUCSBURC SIGNATURE
CURRICULUM
Search for Meaning
Augsburg's Signature Curriculum is
centered on its identity as a college of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
As a college of the Church, Augsburg
accepts as a basis for its educational program the doctrines of the Christian faith as
revealed in scripture and the creeds
affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should
reflect upon the Christian scriptures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own
faith and values, and religious concepts
outside of the Christian faith as part of
becoming educated.
In these courses students articulate and
critically reflect upon Augsburg's concept
of vocation and its meaning; Christian theological concepts as well as concepts from
other religious traditions; and the meaning
of the Bible in Judeo-Chnstian thought, its
cultural contexts, and concepts of human
identity and vocation.
Two Search for Meaning course credits
are required except for the following:
Transfer students entering with
advanced transfer status will take one
Search for Meaning course: REL 300 Bible,
Christian Theology, and Vocation.
The Augsburg First Year
In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community,
first-year weekday program students are
required to take courses containing the following components:
Augsburg Seminar
All students who enter the College as
first-year students in the weekday schedule
program must satisfactorily complete fall
orientation and the Augsburg Seminar. The
Seminar is attached to a first-semester
major or Augsburg Core Curriculum
course. The purpose of the Seminar is to
introduce students to an Augsburg education and to help them make the transition
I
Academic Information 77
to college work.
Engaging Minneapolis
Engaging Minneapolis courses are specially designed courses that make intentional and substantial use of the resources
of the Twin Cities as they orient .first-year
weekday students to the community where
they will be studying, living, and working
during their college careers. Most Engaging
Minneapolis courses also fulfill an
Augsburg Core Cumculum or major
requirement. They normally are taken during the first year, but may be taken in the
second year.
Augsburg Experience
All students must complete at least one
approved Augsburg Experience as a
requirement for graduation. Augsburg
Experiences highlight the College's commitment to experiential education and
active participation in the broader community both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning
opportunities are recognized as Augsburg
Experiences: internships, faculty-student
research, community service, study abroad,
and off-campus immersion experiences.
An Augsburg Experience integrates
experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and
reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg
Experiences meet two criteria: (1)
Integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) Link on-campus
learning to the goals, mission, needs, or
ideas of off-campus people, organizations
and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities,
and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may
be embedded in designated courses that
are part of the regular class schedule or
may be completed for zero credit outside
of the regular class schedule. The length of
time required, creditlno-credit status, and
grading options for approved Augsburg
Experiences will vary.
Senior Keystone
The Senior Keystone course provides a
final opportunity for exploring the central
themes of an Augsburg education-vocation and the search for meaning in a
diverse and challenging world. Students
will reflect upon the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of
transition as they prepare for their lives
after Augsburg.
The Senior Keystone course connects
the broad liberal arts foundation with the
professional skills and in-depth study of
the major. It thus asks graduating students
to think critically, reflectively, and ethically
about their place in the world as leaders
and servants.
THE LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION
The Liberal Arts Foundation courses
introduce students to knowledge and
modes of inquiry across a wide range of
disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide
the opportunity for students to acquire a
broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation.
Students choose two courses from two
different departments in each domain.
(Exceptions may be made for specially
designed interdisciplinary Connections
courses.) The list of courses meeting the
Liberal Arts Foundation requirement is
available online and from the registrar's
office.
The Liberal Arts Foundation requirements for some bachelor of science majors
may vary. Students must consult with the
major department to determine the options
available. The following bachelor of sci-
78 Academic Information
ence majors are approved for modifications
in the Liberal Arts Foundation or Modem
Language Core Skill requirements: biology,
clinical laboratory science, elementary education (LAF option only), health education
(teaching licensure only, LAF option only),
mathematics, physical education (teaching
licensure only, LAF option only), and
physics.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Two courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics,
Physics.
One must be a lab science course.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Two courses from two different departments:
Economics, Political Science,
Psychology, Sociology
Humanities

Communication Studies, English,
History, Philosophy, Religion, Modem
Languages (literature and culture courses)
Note: The signature Search for Meaning
courses do not count as Humanities
Liberal Arts Foundation requirements.
Fine Arts
Two courses or approved activities
from two different departments:
Art, Music, Theatre Arts.

.
EXPLANATION OF GRADES
Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests,
-tten papers, oral
and other
types of evaluation.
-
Academic Information 81
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.
PassINo Credit
Students who choose the P/N option
are cautioned:
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank each
as a C.
Maximum number of course credits
taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of
Pass (P).
P-graded courses do not count
toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for
graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this
requirement.
To be eligible for graduation with
Latin Honors, students may elect only 2
P/N credits.
See P/N limitations under Graduation
Requirements, page 75.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(e.g., lifetime sports are graded only P/N).
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading
option. Any changes in choice of grading
system must be made according to dates
published each term.
Numeric Grades
Numeric grades are used with these
definitions:
4.0
Achieves highest standards of
excellence
3.0
Achieves above basic course
standards
2.0
Meets basic standards for the
course
1.0
Performance below basic course
standards
0.0
Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are
not computed in the grade point average.
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission
after determining that a student emergency
may delay completion of coursework.
Students who receive an incomplete grade
should be capable of passing the course if
they satisfactorily complete outstanding
course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an
Application for Incomplete Grade Form
with the Office of the Registrar that states
the reasons for the request, outlines the
work required to complete the course, and
includes the course instructor's signature.
The instructor may stipulate the terms and
conditions that apply to course completion. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow
evaluation of the work by the instructor
and the filing of a grade before the final
day of the following academic term in the
student's program. If the work is not com-

84 Academic Information
pleted by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the
course becomes 0.0.
Internships, independent studies, and
directed studies may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is the case, they
must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of
the first term of registration. A grade of X
(extension) is given by the instructor to
indicate that the study is extended. It is
expected that students given X extensions
will continue to communicate with their
instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A
final grade will be issued at the end of the
term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year).
An instructor has the right to not grant an
extension where satisfactory progress is not
demonstrated. If the course is not
completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned..
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record.
A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5,
1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken each term and
grades earned, including W and N, will be
recorded on the academic record. Only the
credits and grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated courses, are
counted toward graduation and in the
grade point average.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses
without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their
total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The
charge for part-time and Weekend College
students is listed under Weekend College
Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 27. The signature of the
instructor is required to register an audit.
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
requirements. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be
listed with a grade of W. Audited courses
do not count toward graduation and do
not fulfill general education requirements.
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 aansferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the P/N grading option
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by
number of credits attempted.*
*Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned

Academic Information 85
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 comprise the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The
Assessment of Previous Learning program
(APL) 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. The following is a brief
description of each of these means of
assessment:
International Baccalaureate Program
(IB)-Courses earned from the
International Baccalaureate program will
be considered by the College for advanced
placement and appropriate credit. Credit
granting guidelines are available in the registrar's office.
Advanced Placement Program
(AP)-Augsburg allows students to earn
credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected
Advanced Placement tests. A score of 4 or
5 is required on the AP Language and
Composition examination for credit for
ENG 111 Effective Writing. Inquiries
should be addressed to the Office of the
Registrar.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by
the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing
centers. (The regional testing centers for
this area are the University of Minnesota
and the University of St. Thomas.)
Students who score at or above the
American Council on Education's recommended score on an approved examination
may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Information
about CLEP tests is available from the
Office of the Registrar.
Departmental Comprehensive
Exams-These are available for students
to use in obtaining credit for previous
learning if the following conditions
are met:
There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question.
There is a faculty member designated
by the department to administer the exam.
The registrar approves the student's
request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis
only, and there is a charge per exam of
$400 for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program-This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning
portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of two faculty
members from fields of study hrectly related
to the student's previous learning. Students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous
learning, the faculty team applies the fol-
86
Academic Information
lowing criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed
andlor systematic study of content material
found within liberal arts coursework.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
The learning and skills involved are
current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit
assessment process after completing at
least four credits of academic work at
Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process not be used
when four or fewer courses remain for
graduation. There is a non-refundable
application deposit of $200 to initiate the
credit assessment process for each course
presented in a portfolio. An additional
$200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit is available on a P/N credit
basis only.
Transcript credit will be recorded with
the equivalent Augsburg course numbers
as determined by faculty reviewers.
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 campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate
degree) to be obtained through previous
experiential learning. In compiling the
eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination
of the five assessment processes available in
the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams,
IB exams, departmental comprehensive
exams, and credit granted through portfolio
assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Students whose primary language is not
English must take the ESL placement test
in conjunction with the English writing
placement test prior to registering for their
first term at Augsburg. Students' placement
in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental Writing,
or ENG 111 Effective Writing will be
determined by their scores on the
Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption
from ESL) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the
English as a Second Language course, an
objective test will be administered to all
students in the class. The score on this test
and the grade earned in the class will
determine whether additional ESL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to
100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will
fulfill the student's ESL requirement.
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENG
2171218 until such time that they pass the
ESL placement test at 85 percent or higher.
The ESL course can be counted only twice
in the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course
completion, have completed the modem
language core skill requirement for
graduation.

Academic Information 87
ACADEMIC PROGRESS,
PROBATION, AND DISMISSAL
The College requires that all students
maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point
average (GPA) .
It should be noted that a minimum GPA
of 2.0 is required for graduation, with certain
majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
Students whose overall academic
achievement falls below a 2.0 GPA will
either be placed on scholastic probation at
the end of the term or will be continued on
probation or will be dismissed from the
College. In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a sophomore,
junior, or senior who receives three zero
grades will be considered for probation or
dismissal. However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Student Standing
Committee. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration in deciding whether or not
to dismiss a student. Students who have a
poor academic record may be strongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a
term. Those on probation who voluntarily
withdraw from the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have special permission from the Student Standing
Committee to re-enroll. Students who have
been dismissed may apply for readmission
after one year, at which time the Student
Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any
statements and evidence attesting to his or
her commitment to academic success.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0.
Students placed on probation as freshmen
for having earned two zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have
not earned additional zero grades, and if
their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for
having earned three zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
Student class years are based on the
number of courses completed:
Freshman-fewer
Sophomore-fewer
credits
Junior-fewer
than 7 course credits
than 16 course
than 24 course credits
Senior- 24 or more course credits
Dean's List
The Dean's List, compiled after each
semester, lists undergraduate students
whose grade point average for a semester is
3.5 or better. Students must be full-time
students (a minimum equivalent of three
full course credits for a weekday schedule
student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded
on the traditional grading system, with no
incompletes in courses offered for credit.
Courses taken outside of a program's calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a
Weekend College trimester term by a day
student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when
determining the Dean's List. If permission
is given by the student, an announcement
is sent to the hometown newspaper of each
student on the Dean's List.

a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge and-truthare interrelated and are integrated into a
whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth
into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses that
make it more accessible to students. These
courses can be arranged in various ways to
construct majors, to create the substance
of a broad general education, and to give
students the opportunity to study areas of
particular individual interest.
Weekend College classes are published
each spring in a separate booklet and
online.
Since some courses are offered alternate
years, it is important that the student
review major requirements and course
offerings with an adviser to ensure that all
can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for Sumnier
Session, the Master of Arts in Education,
Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of
Arts in Nursing, Master of Business
Administration, Master of Science in
Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of
Social Work courses are published in separate catalogs.
Credits
Descriptions of courses are arranged by
departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach,
requirements, and evaluations for a
particular course can be obtained from
the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals,
and its place in the College's program. A
listing of requirements for individual
majors and minors follows the narrative.
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are
offered in the Division of Professional
Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one
course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six
quarter hours. Most day program courses
meet for three 60-minute periods or two
90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. All
full credit Weekend College courses meet
for eight 3.5-hour sessions during fall and
winter terms, and for seven +hour sessions during spring term.
Class Schedule
Numbering
Courses listed are subject to change. In
general, classes are offered fall andlor
spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The schedule of classes offered through the
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC) for fall and spring terms is only
available ,on-line.
Courses numbered below 300 are lower
division courses. Courses numbered 300

internships are also available.
INTERNSHIPS
Registration for internships consists of
the following steps:
1. Obtain the internship registration
permission form from the Center for
Service, Work, and Learning and secure
the signatures of the faculty supervisor and
director of the Center for Service, Work,
and Learning.
2. Register for the Internship during
the registration period. The signed permission form must be turned in at the time of
registration. (Students may pre-register
without a placement secured, but a suitable internship must be found by the end
of the registration or drop/add period.)
3. A learning agreement (forms are
available in the Center for Service, Work,
and Learning) must be completed with
the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the
Center for Service, Work, and Learning,
with copies made for the faculty supervisor and student.

continuity of women's roles over times and the changes in these roles, precipitated by the influences of Western colonialism. The course also assesses how
American Indian women have crossed cultural boundaries and influenced
non-tribal communities through their activism and traditionalism. This course
is cross-listed with Women's Studies.
INS 332
Native American Storytelling

Filmmakers, American Indian Women in Film, Contemporary Indigenous
Issues of North and South America, and American Indian literature Seminar.
INS 499
Independent ResearchICapstone Project
An independently designed research project to fulfill the capstone requirement.
A,
is important as a field of study
for our time, helping us to create order and
beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this,we have made
design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the art program at
Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is
so much a part of everyday life that it is
often taken for granted. At the same time,
however, the interchange of visual ideas is
frequently misunderstood. The task of the
artist, art teacher, graphic designer, architect, and art historian is to celebrate visual
experience through a variety of media and
art examples. In short, the visual arts teach
us how to see.
Because of the College's commitment to
the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity
involves manual skill, although to become
broadly significant it should interact with
other fields, such as language, history,
drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a significant
number of art galleries and museums in
the TWin Cities area.

T
he initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting
period of change. The faculty and staff
wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students
and to help them become part of this academic community. Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation
weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, students are introduced to the character of the
College, its heritage as an urban, liberal
arts college of the Church, the process of
learning in a community where ideas are
valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being students.
Augsburg Seminar
At registration, all first-year students in
the day program enroll in a selected content course or course pair and a parallel
Augsburg Seminar. These 'linked' courses
integrate disciplina~ycontent with various
learning strategies and community-building opportunities beneficial to all beginning students.
AUC 101
B
Each content course normally meets
three hours per week for the entire semester and is valued at 1.0 course credit. The
Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for
eight weeks for a .25 course credit. The
Augsburg Seminar offers the opportunity
for further discussion of topics from the
paired content course, along with presentations on campus life, academic resources
and study skills, and a hands-on introduction to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
While the content course is graded on a
traditional point basis, the Augsburg
Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (PIN).
However, performance in the course is
linked to performance in the seminar.
All freshman students must successfully complete the entire Augsburg Seminar in
order to fulfill the graduation requirement,
even if they drop the linked content
course. Permission to complete the seminar after withdrawal from the content
course is at the discretion of the instructor.
Augsburg Seminar (.25 course)
A series of fall-term meetings with an Augsburg seminar adviser to discuss
issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community of learners. Discussion will be based upon topics and readings from the
connected content course and other disciplines and sources. (P/N grading only)
iology is the study of life, and it is
natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
Earth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanding
of the basic biological processes common
to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for
wise decisions.

Biology 103
In recent decades great strides have
been made in understanding important
biological processes, particularly those at
the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels. Biological research has also provided
some extremely important benefits to
humans, including advances in medicine,
agriculture, and food science.
An understanding of biological systems
depends, in part, on the principles of
physics and chemistry; thus a firm background in the physical sciences is also
important in the study of biology.
For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves as a basis for further study
Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to
careers in college or university teaching,
basic and applied research, and public
health. Many have entered professional
programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have
gone directly into secondary education,
biomedical industries, laboratory research,
natural resources, and environmental education.

obtain an internship
(BUS/ACC/FIN/MIS/MKT 399) during
their junior or senior year. Internships can
provide students with experience that may
be valuable in competing for jobs after
graduation. Advisers should be consulted
about internships.
Advising
International Business
Students who plan to major in business
administration, accounting, finance, MIS,
or marketing are strongly encouraged to
select a departmental adviser who teaches
in their major. This should be done by the
end of the sophomore year at the latest. In
addition to advising, departmental faculty
can counsel majors on their careers, assist
majors in obtaining internships or jobs,
and provide letters of recommendation for
prospective employers or graduate programs.
The international business faculty
actively support international study.

T h e major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related positions.
This major has two tracks: general
accounting and professional accounting.
The general accounting specialization is
adequate for a wide variety of positions.
The professional accounting track includes
two specializations: public accounting and
managerial accounting. The public
accounting specialization is recommended
for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.
The two professional specializations
relate to two professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A certified public
accountant (CPA) focuses on external
reporting; a certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting.
The public accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CPA exam; the managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CMA exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in
addition to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the Minnesota State
Board of Accountancy, accounting majors
in the public accounting specialization are
qualified to sit for the CPA examination
after graduation.
Effective May 2006, students will need
to complete the equivalent of 150 semester
hours of education to be licensed as
Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) . This
can be completed in four years through
accelerated undergraduate work. Another
option is to complete a four-year Bachelors
degree plus a Masters degree.

c
hemistry is the science that examnes and works toward understanding
changes in matter. Chemistry has been
described as the central science because
matter includes the entire physical world,
such as the things we use, the food we eat,
and even ourselves. Correlating the
nsights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas
hat excite and offer opportunities to better
he entire world.
Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their
work, including potential problems as well
as benefits.
Chemists as people must be broadly
educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as
offered in the general education cumcuum is imperative if a chemist is to be both
truly human and truly scientific.
The department is on the list of
approved schools of the American
Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemlstry major that meets the chemistry backyound required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
h e following objectives to help its stulents develop into mature scientists:
*To provide a course of study of suffi:ient rigor and depth to enable our graduktes who complete our ACS chemistry
najor to compete successfully with their
leers of similar ability in graduate school
)r research positions.
*To provide programs of study for proessional goals in addition to the tradition11positions as chemists.
*To provide an atmosphere of learning
so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may
change after graduation, and be able to
move into new areas as opportunities arise.
*To encourage students to take a broad
view of their education and to integrate
outside study areas with the sciences.
*To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example
of the methodology of the natural sciences
in examining the world around us. The
presentation of major concepts underlying
the changes in matter, the opportunity to
examine change in the physical world, and
the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will
enhance the ability of non-science persons
to make better value judgments concerning
science questions in their own endeavors.

linical laboratory scientists perform
complex biological, microbiological, and
chemical tests on patient samples. They
also use, maintain, and troubleshoot
sophisticated laboratory equipment in the
performance of diagnostic tests. The clinical laboratory scientist analyzes these test
results and discusses them with the medical staff. Hdshe also possesses the skills
required for molecular diagnostic tests
based on DNA and RNA technologies. In
addition, the clinical laboratory scientist
will find opportunities in test development, experimental design, administration,
and education.
The cuniculum requires a minimum of
six semesters on campus to complete the
pre-requisite curriculum. Students spend
an additional 12 months of clinical education in a hospital-sponsored, accredited
program during their senior year. A bachelor of scieace degree is awarded at the satisfactory completion of all required course
work.
Admission to the clinical laboratory science major is on a competitive basis.
Students apply for admission to the clinical
laboratory science program early in the
spring semester of the academic year just
prior to the beginning of their professional
studies, typically in the junior year. Formal
acceptance into the hospital-sponsored
program is based on the submission of an
application for admission to the major,
personal recommendations, review of academic performance, and interview with the
Program Admission Committee. A minimum grade point average of 2.75 overall as
well as in science and mathematics courses
is strongly recommended. Acceptance into
the hospital program is not guaranteed by
the College. The hospital program affiliated
with Augsburg is the Fairview Health
Services. The program is in the process of
receiving accreditation by the National
Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory
Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 W Bryn Mawr,
Suite 670, Chicago, IL. 60631, 773-7148880.
During the clinical component in an
accredited hospital program, students will
register for 12.25 credits. The clinical
phase routinely begins in June with anticipated graduation the following spring.
Graduates of the program are eligible to sit
for certification examinations offered by
national certification agencies.

A
major in East Asian studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a
result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine, and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China, and other East Asian
nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country.
Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
studies include government service, international business, journalism, language
instruction, Asian arts, and intercultural
communication. The major provides a
foundation for graduate work in various
fields such as anthropology, economics,
history, international relations, business,
law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for
those interested in education and work
with social and recreational agencies.
East Asian Studies Faculty
Martha Johnson, Director
Major in East Asian Studies
Nine courses are required for the major.
Courses in the major must be preapproved by the campus adviser and are
distributed as follows: four courses in an
East Asian language; four additional courses,
two of which must be upper division
(strongly recommended that one of these
be a history course on China or Japan);
and an East Asian studies seminar. A term
of study abroad and the completion of a
minor in another discipline are strongly
recommended.
Study abroad opportunities for the
semester or a year are available in Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea, and the People's
Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the country of specialization.
Language Courses
Hamline University offers elementary
and intermediate courses in Chinese.
Macalester College and the University of
St. Thomas offer elementary and intermediate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University
of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese
languages (without extra tuition charges);
see campus adviser. Non-majors may also
take the Chinese and Japanese language
courses.
-
East Asian Studies 143
Minor in East Asian Studies
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. Courses in
the minor must be pre-approved by the
campus adviser. A minor in East Asian
studies provides exposure to an area of
East Asia that would complement other
disciplines.
Note: Interim courses or new courses
related to the East Asian Studies Program
may be substituted when appropriate,
with the consent of the campus adviser.
Faculty advising is recommended at all
stages of the major to plan a coherent and
effective program.
Each campus has a member on the
ACTC East Asian studies committee who
can assist students. The current advisers
are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson,
612-330-1715; Hamline-Richard Kagan,
651-641-2433; Macalester-Yue-him Tam,
651-696-6262; St. Catherine-Helen

approval of program director.
T
he Department of Economics offers a
program that stresses a strong theoretical
background, quantitative analysis, and an
emphasis on national and international
issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or
to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts
emphasis within the major.
The department offers five majors. The
economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business
world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into
the field of computer science. The combined economics/business administration
major allows students great flexibility in
order to explore both fields. Finally, the
teaching major in political sciencdeconomics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background
for teaching economics.
The study of economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze and
make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership
and leads to a great diversity of career
opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international
service. Pre-law and potential Master of
Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as
a major or a minor.
Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such
as business administration, international
relations, mathematics, management information systems, political science, history,
and area study programs. Students who are
interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in
business are encouraged to either major or
minor in mathematics. These students
should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course
suggestions.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the department chair
and the internship office before registering
for academic creht.

ugsburg College has cooperative
rrangements with two universities to
llow students to earn a bachelor of arts
egree from Augsburg College and an engieering degree from either the University
f Minnesota Institute of Technology,
viinneapolis; or Michigan Technological
Jniversity, Houghton, Michigan. Because
f the special requirements and opportunies of these programs, early consultation
vith the Augsburg engineering adviser is
ecessary. Applications for these programs
equire the recommendation of the
ugsburg engineering adviser. Contact Jeff
ohnson, Physics Department,
12-330-1070.
Jniversity of Minnesota
The Institute of Technology and
~ugsburgcooperative arrangement provides
or two dual degree engineering programs:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of
ingineering (B.A.1B.E.) enables students
o receive a bachelor of arts degree from
~ugsburgCollege and a bachelor of engileering degree from the University of
dinnesota. The program typically involves
hree years at Augsburg and two years at
he Institute 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
Institute of Technology may be completed
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg.
Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of
Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) 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 Institute of
Technology.
The cumculum is the same as the
B.A.B.E. cumculum 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 cuniculum. The number of such
courses varies by IT department and area
of emphasis within a department.
160 Engineering
Application for admission into the
B.A.N.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 Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.N.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
Michigan Technological University
This program enables students to
receive a bachelor of arts degree from
Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering
degree from 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 will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and
are recommended by the engineering
adviser of Augsburg College.
Students are also encouraged to explore
opportunities for graduate work at
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
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 to the dual-degree or three-two programs:
CHM 115 General Chemistry
CHM 116 General Chemistry

year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351,352.
T
hose who study English believe that
an intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
are and who they can become. Writing
helps all of us clarify and share our
thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence.
Through the study of English we see life's
complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which
we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors.
With the other arts, English is concerned
with the pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of
works of art. With psychology and sociology,
English is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy, English
is interested in ideas and in the relation
between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering
order and determining structures. With
speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at different times
and in various cultures.
The Augsburg Department of English
integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities of hvital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or
recommended plays, films, and readings
available near the campus. English majors
have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through worlung in internships
on and off campus, tutoring English
Language Learners (ELL) students, or
tutoring in the writing lab.
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry, library sci-
ence, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

H
istory is to society what memory is
to an individual; it brings to a civilization
an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed
it this way: "No community can survive
and no institution can function without
constant reference to past experience. We
are ruled by precedents fully as much as by
laws, which is to say that we are ruled by
the collective memory of the past. It is the
memory of common experiences that
makes scattered individuals into a community."
The study of history enables us to deal
more knowledgeably with continuity and
change in society. The construction of an
informed sense of our past is a fundamental
ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the
future. History majors are prepared to be
active and contributing members of their
society. The study of history, which has
long held a major role in the liberal arts,
is an entry to elementary and secondary
education, graduate study in several fields,
and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing
of information.

T
he Honors Program is rooted in the
Augsburg Core ~u&ulum. As such it is
designed to prepare students to become
effective, informed, and ethical citizens
through their engagement in a cumculum
that:
Provides a liberal arts foundation and
promotes the acquisition of intellectual
and professional skills;
Calls for common inquiry into questions
of Christian faith and the search for
meaning; and,
Cultivates the transformative discovery
of, and appreciation for, one's place of
leadership and service in a diverse
world-vocatio and caritas.
The Honors Program recasts this distinctive mix by underscoring the public
uses of knowledge, by recognizing that
intelligence expresses itself in many ways,
and by embracing an intentional interdisciplinarity in its cumculum. While celebrating the signature elements of the Augsburg
Core Cumculum, the Honors Program
transposes them to a new key, even a kind
of academic jazz, in which committed students are encouraged to traverse new
domains and improvise novel themes
appropriate to new circumstances.
The Honors Program is a community of
people who are committed to achieving an
exceptional education by exploring the
many dimensions of fundamental ideas.
Fundamental ideas such as "all people are
-
Interdisciplinary Studies 181
created equal" and "all knowledge begins
with experience" shape our construction of
the valuable, our deliberations regarding
the ethical, and even our identification of
the factual. Honors education believes that
when we engage freely in Socratic dialogue
about knowledge and wisdom, we find our
noblest calling as people.
The Honors Program strives to provide
an enriched environment in which the pivotal questions of human experience can be
explored and the skills to navigate a complex world can be mastered. Honors students learn the value of interpersonal networking and team-generated solutions to
new problems that emerge in dynamic,
worldwide markets and evolving political
realities. In fact, graduation from the program is advantageous for graduate school
admission or career placement.

nterdisciplinq studies programs
draw
.
upon and combine coursework from multiple academic disciplines to provide both
broad perspective and in-depth focus on an
area of study Through interdisciplinary
programs and courses, students can gain
greater insight and understanding of cultures and perspectives different from their
own. Augsburg offers a number of majors
that are interdisciplinary in nature. They
include:
In addition to completing the Honors
Program courses that fulfill Augsburg Core
Cumculum requirements, students complete the language requirement (if it is a
requirement for their degree), Foundations
of Fitness, the lifetime activity course,
Effective Writing, any required entry level
assessments, and graduation skill requirements.
Students may enter the Honors
Program at three points (first or second
semester of first year; first semester of second year). Students must fulfill requirements of all four years to complete the
Honors Program and thereby satisfy the
Augsburg Core Cumculum requirements.

M
athematics is the study of structure and relationships and
tools
for solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world
from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the
problem solving and quantitative reasoning
skills that are increasingly expected of
every member of contemporary society.
Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts
education.
Students majoring in mathematics
acquire the skills necessary to serve society
through a variety of careers. In addition to
acquiring computational and problem solving skills, mathematics majors at Augsburg
develop their abilities to reason abstractly;
to conjecture, critique, and justifj their
assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and
comprehend precise mathematical writing;
to speak and write about mathematical
ideas; and to experience working in teams
on mathematical projects. Students can
prepare for graduate school, for work in
business, industry, or non-profit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in
grades K-12. Students majoring in many
disciplines find it helpful to acquire a
minor or a second major in mathematics.
Students may choose coursework supporting the study of mathematics as a liberal art, its applications to science and
engineering, its applications to actuarial
science, computing, or economics, or in
preparation to teach. Augsburg's urban
location allows students to gain experience
working with mathematics through intemships, cooperative education, and the
practicum and colloquium courses.

he Department of Modem Languages
at ~ u ~ s b u r ~ k o lcontributes
le~e
in many
ways to realizing the College's mission of
providing liberal arts education for service
in today's world. The department is committed to the view that education should
go beyond career preparation and that
familiarity with the language and culture of
another people is an essential step in the
development of a truly global perspective.
The modem languages department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian, and Spanish.
Introductory courses in Ojibwe and
American Sign Language are offered at
Augsburg, and courses in Chinese,Japanese,
Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg
students through the College's affiliation
with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities
colleges.
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation,
but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions.
Students anticipating careers in international business, social work, the diplomatic
corps, the health professions, or the aistry may wish to take a second major or
minor in modem languages. In addition,
a minor in languages or linguistics is a
valuable research tool for those intending
to pursue graduate study in most academic
disciplines.

T
he Augsburg
of Nursing
- Department
is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities
in the health care field.
The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding: Nurses practice in hospitals, clinics, corporations, parishes, government agencies, schools, and community
organizations, or in their own practices.
Wherever they work, nurses provide comprehensive health care for persons, groups
and communities of diverse cultures and
socioeconomic levels throughout the life
span.
The bachelor's degree equips nurses to
synthesize working knowledge from the
liberal arts with the art and science of
nursing. The nursing program at Augsburg
also provides educational opportunities to
increase skills in critical thinking, clinical
investigation, and decision-making in
preparation for challenging new nursing
positions in emerging care systems.
Augsburg's nursing program, which
leads to a bachelor of science degree with a
major in nursing, is accredited by the
National League for Nursing. Graduates of
the program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate in
Minnesota.

NUR 41 1 Community Health Nursing I1
A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and cumulative GPA of 2.5 are
required. Students also must complete
Augsburg's residence and general education
requirements.
The program has been planned so that
the major can be completed within 15
months; however, students may pursue
their studies at a slower pace.
Courses in the nursing major are
offered on weekday evenings with a
practicum course (NUR 41 1) requiring
additional weekday time. More time may
be required to complete the total course of
study depending on the number of liberal
arts (general education) courses needed to
complete the BSN degree, and the number
of credits transferred from other colleges or
universities. Students in nursing may take
non-nursing courses in both day school
and Weekend College. Students interested
in pursuing the nursing major should consult with the program coordinator, Luann
Watson, from the Department of Nursing
for program planning.

P
hilosophy is in an important sense
the most fundamental of the disciplines.
All of the sciences and most othe; disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, it is concemed with asking and answering the
"big" questions that are the most basic. For
example, Is there a God? Is there life after
death? Are there absolute moral standards?
What kind of life is the best? What is
knowledge and what are its sources?
Students learn to ask and answer these
and other similar questions for themselves
through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by philosophers
from the past and present.
The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy,
while others use the major to prepare for
other professional studies such as law,
medicine, the Christian ministry, or journalism.

Introduction to Philosophy
This course introduces students to typical philosophical questions (how we
know, if we can have certain knowledge, if there are universal moral principles, whether God exists, the nature of the mind, etc.), to philosophical
vocabulary, and to critical thinking and what it means to view the world
philosophically
PHI 120
Ethics
By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they
use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical
approaches to evaluating moral actions and then applies them to contemporary issues. Christian ethics will inform the considerations. Students who
receive credit for PHI 120 may not receive credit for PHI 125.
PHI 125
Ethics and Human Identity
A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, emotions, and
action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. Beginning by asking what the

' . are a curious and ambitious
lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern
all physical aspects of the universe.
Historically called "natural philosophers,"
physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical
analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to
the largest galaxies and from the relative
stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery
activity of stars. Physics plays an important
role in many of the liberal arts disciplines
and contributes to society's understanding
of such areas as energy, weather, medical
science, and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and the need to keep
abreast of rapid technological advances,
the department strives to give students not
only an understanding of basic concepts,
but also insights into recent developments.
A rigorous major provides students with
the preparation required for graduate study
in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work
in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography,biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The
department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that
enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science.
These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to
follow new developments with some
degree of comprehension.
The department supervises the preengineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities
at both the bachelor's and advanced degree
levels, and administers Aughurg College's
portion of funds designated for the
Minnesota Space Grant College
Consortium, funded by NASA. It also
maintains active research programs
through its Center for Atmospheric and
Space Sciences and the Sverdrup
Laboratory for Solid State Physics, with
support from the National Science
Foundation, NASA, and other private and
public sources. Several students work as
research assistants in these efforts during
the academic year and in the summer.
Cooperative education, internship, and
undergraduate research programs provide
opportunities for students to apply their
knowledge and problem-solving skills in
practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

F
irmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science shares concerns
with the humanities, other behavioral sciences, and mathematics and the sciences.
The role and significance of authority in
human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced
faculty that offers courses in all major
areas of political science, and also possesses special expertise in the areas of cam. paigns and elections, comparative and
international politics, mass communications and other information technolgoy,
racial and ethnic politics, and American
public law.
Political scientists use systematic
inquiry and analysis to examine political
reality. The student who majors in political
science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and
conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student
will be encouraged to relate insights from
other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy psychology, economics, history, and
sociology to the study of politics.
Providing work in several subfields of
political sciene, the major supplies the
breadth appropriate for graduate work in
political science, public administration,
public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on
which to develop careers in public service,
business, communications, and other
fields. Legislative and other internships, as
well as significant independent research
projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg
political science students in the Twin Cities
area. Combined with broad, balanced, and
flexible course offerings, these special
opportunities enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a successful
career.

P
sychology is an exploration of
behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding
of individual and group behavior. The
study of psychology equips students to
understand and use the scientific method
to think creatively and critically beyond
the classroom. To prepare students for
graduate study and work in psychology,
the major emphasizes the complementary
components of a strong foundation in
research and theoretical work with the
application of knowledge and skills in
coursework, research experiences, and
internships within the community. The
curriculum's emphasis on the experiential
dimensions of learning and the integration
of liberal arts and professional domains
prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social
services, research, law, government,
church, and medicine.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling,
physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industriaVorganizationa1psychology as well as expertise in psychological
applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through
a variety of learning experiences including
group and individual projects, association
with Augsburg's active Psychology Club,
Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student
research teams.

s
ociology is the study of society as a
whole and i f human social organization in
groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social
world and how human beings come to
think and act as they do.
The goal of the department is to guide
students in gaining knowledge of the social
order, how it affects them in their daily
lives, and how it can be applied to their
vocation. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
scientific tools of analysis, and practice the
application of sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships,
independent study, and field studies. The
department urges students to use
Augsburg's metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships, service
learning, and cooperative education enable
majors to apply the theories and research
skills of sociology while they explore
career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who
have majored in sociology are currently
employed in the human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice field, and
as professors of sociology. Others have
used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as l a y the
ministry, social work, urban planning, and
human services.

Concentration in Cultural
Anthropology
This concentration offers sociology
majors an opportunity to examine and
develop the methods and theoretical perspectives used by cultural anthropologists
to study and understand the dynamics of
culture. To complete the concentration, the
sociology major must complete five additional courses beyond the seven core
courses. Two of those courses must be

who plan to work in organizational settings including corporate, government, and
non-profit sectors. Students will learn how
organizations are structured, function, and
change, how people relate in organizational settings, and how organizations succeed
and why they sometimes fail. The concentration both theoretically and experientially equips students with skills to effectively
lead and manage organizations, and to succeed within organizations while achieving
their ~ersonalcareer and professional
goals. Courses required beyond the core
major requirements are: Work and Society

concentration is to provide sociology
andlor psychology students with a solid
disciplinary foundation along with specific
coursework to strengthen a cross-disciplinary social psychological perspective.
Coursework will emphasize research skills,
theoretical analysis, and applied work in
areas intended to prepare students for
careers in l a y consulting, research, and
social policy, as well as many other areas.

T
he study of theatre is firmly grounded
in the liberal arts, integrating knowledege
and principles from many academic and
artistic disciplines, including speech/communication, art, music, history, English,
literature, business, philosophy, and religion. Both the curriculum and dramatic
productions by the Theatre Arts
Department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for the campus while
also providing a solid base in classical,
modem, contemporary, and multicultural
theatre.
~

Augsburg's location in the heart of a
major theatre center makes it an ideal
place to study theatre. At Augsburg we
seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theatre artists and
scholars, by encouraging connections
between our campus and the greater arts
community while also exploring connections between theory and application.
Student opportunity to make these connections includes course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist
Series (an annual series of events featuring
visiting theame professionals from the Twin
Cities community who work closely with
students,) and attendance at numerous
professional productions in the Twin
Cities. Augsburg theatre productions are
treated as unique learning laboratories
where students can enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional
artists-in-residence.
In addition to learning skills specific to
theatre, students in theatre arts learn valuable skills applicable to other professions:
collaboration, verbal and non-verbal communication, organization, critical thinking,
leadership, creativity, and self-expression.
Involvement in theatre arts can help prepare students for such careers as law, edu-
cation, business, communication, and journalism, as well as prepare theatre students
for careers in professional or academic theatre, television, and film. In order to prepare the student for graduate school or the
workplace, the department strongly
encourages a second major or minor in
such fields as communication arts, art,
English, education, music, or religion.

T
he Women's Studies Program
provides students with the opportunity to
examine critically women's contributions
and experiences in various historical and
cultural contexts. This is an inter-college
program with course offerings at Augsburg
College, Hamline University, the College of
St. Catherine, and the University of St.
Thomas. Courses are drawn from many
disciplines and combine theoretical, practical, and research components that focus
not only on gender, but also acknowledge
that race, class, and sexual identity are crucial aspects of women's experiences. The
Women's studies program offers both a
major and a minor, and provides students
with academic preparation for careers in
human services, education, and social
work as well as graduate study.

A
t Augsburg
- - College, we believe that
the college
experience
should be a time of
- exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 major*
or you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 58 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while
a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC
includes Augsburg College, College of St.
Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester
College, and the University of St. Thomas.
Through the Weekend College
Program, 17 majors are offered.
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg curriculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the mission of the College:
"To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian church, by the
context of a vital metropolitan setting, and
by an intentionally diverse campus community"
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.

About Augsburg 11
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college depaments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 130 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876- 1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bemhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the serninary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church.
12 About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William V Frame became president
in August 1997. Under his leadership, the
college has sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education,
grounded in vocational calling, that provides students both the theoretical learning
and the practical experience to succeed in
a global, diverse world.
In 1999, a new apament-style student
residence opened. Major renovation of
Sverdrup Hall created space for the
Enrollment Center, h e Women's Resource
Center, and the Honors Program Suite. A
skyway link connects Sverdrup Hall to
Lindell Library.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great metropolitan center.
There are now almost 18,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to undergraduate liberal
arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's
degree programs in social work, leadership,
nursing, physician assistant studies, and
education.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg's Weekend College program
provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a baccalaureate
degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more
areas of the liberal arts.

About Augsburg 13
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today with more than 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 17 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in Weekend College
are full-time Augsburg professors as well as
adjunct professionals. The Weekend
College student body is involved in student government, and students participate
in academic and extracurricular activities
such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations.
Augsburg Weekend College continues
to develop to meet the needs of the adult
and nontraditional student.
The Adult as Learner
Augsburg Weekend College is based on
the assumption that students who enroll in
the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a
combination of classroom experience and
individual study. Each course is divided
into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent
study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this learning format,
classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either
Friday evening, Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon.
Laboratoly sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students may take from
one to four courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on weekday
evenings and are open to both day and
Weekend College students. The academic
year for Weekend College is divided into
three trimesters.
A Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of Augsburg's
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and
women with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of
College facilities such as Lindell Library
and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and athletic events.
Weekend College Faculty
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal degree
and all consider teaching to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support
and are secondary to their teaching. They
are actively involved in a dynamic faculty
development program that introduces
them to current thought in many fields,
but especially in teaching and learning
techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg has established a branch
campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes
in Rochester meet on an evening or weekend schedule, making them accessible to
working adults. There are three trimesters
in each academic year, following the same
schedule as the Weekend College program.
14 About Augsburg
Several complete degree programs are
available through the Rochester campus. In
addition, students may work on a variety
of other majors through a combination of
Rochester-based courses and courses taken
in the day or Weekend College program on
the Minneapolis campus. Students who
enroll in Rochester courses are required to
have an individual e-mail address and have
access to the Intemet to facilitate the use
of technology in the learning and communication process. Further information may
be obtained from the Rochester program
website at <www.augsburg.edu/rochester>

ALL TRANSFER STUDENTS
Augsburg College welcomes students
who wish to transfer from other accredited
colleges or universities. College credit is
granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily
completed at accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not to grant
credit for courses where it considers the
work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional
credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions, and to require that certain courses
be taken at Augsburg.
Augsburg College limits transfer
coursework from two-year colleges once a
student has reached junior status. Students
may transfer a maximum of 64 semester
credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year
colleges. Once a student reaches junior
status, no additional credits will transfer
from two-year institutions toward the
minimum of 32 credits required for a
baccalaureate degree. These courses can,
however, be used to meet liberal arts and
major requirements.
A cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) or better is
required on previous college work for
admission to the College.
Acceptance of courses submitted for
transfer is done by the registrar's office
based upon the official student
transcript(s). Acceptance of courses presented for a major or minor also requires
approval of the department. The major or
minor department may require certain
courses or a minimum number of courses
be taken at Augsburg.

federal or Augsburg refund policies based
on the last recorded date of attendance.
Students are responsible for the entire cost of
the term including the portion previously
covered by financial aid should they stop
attending. Students are strongly urged to
follow guidelines for complete withdrawal

All students who wish to be considered
for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This

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

for all interest. The borrower may choose
to make payments while in school or may
defer payments and allow interest to
accrue and be capitalized (added to the
balance of the loan).
The interest rate for new borrowers
through the Subsidized and Unsubsidized

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

Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights,
and provides the means for discussions
and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg.
Augsburg College created a program
entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the
generous support of the Lilly Endowment.
Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring
Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and
work. The program will assist students in
this journey by intentionally introducing
vocational themes into the cumculum, cocumcular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the
college. Exploring Our Gifts also provides
resources to encourage students to explore
Christian ministry. Contact the director of
Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program.

pastor, and campus ministry staff have
offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center
for Worship, Drama, and Communication

newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The
Augsburgian; Student Government; and the
Augsburg Student Activities Council.
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment, and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment.

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

their degrees. Residence life staff are on
hand to help students become acquainted
with life at Augsburg through social and
educational events. They are also ready to
assist students who need help or friendship.
Students who choose to make
Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends
among roommates and classmates. They
are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice
arena, fitness center, and Christensen
Center. With just over 900 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet
each other by name.

social work degrees.
DECREES OFFERED
Students choose from over 50 major
areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a
career or further study Thus, through a
balance of curricular activities supported
by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real
world for the real world.
Required courses in Christian Faith are
designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition and encourage them to
reflect upon the importance and meaning
of spirituality in their lives. Recreation
courses offer students opportunities to
develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students
must be educated intellectually, spiritually,
and physically. To act effectively, human
beings must have a broad grasp of the
world from which they have come as well
as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to
the breadth and complexity of knowledge
and culture.
A
Augsburg graduate programs follow a
trimester calendar. (See Graduate Programs
on page 67.)
Augsburg offers two summer school sessions. A maximum of four course credits
(two per term) can be earned in the two
five-week-long summer sessions. The
Summer Session Catalog, published in the
winter of each year, is dstributed to all students.
Courses and majors offered through
Weekend College are the same as their day
program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts
courses and majors.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a
trimester calendar. Some classes may meet
on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is
held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from
January through early April. Spring classes
are held from mid-April through the end of
June. There are 7-8 class sessions each
trimester, and classes meet on weekends
for three and one-half to four hours. (Refer
to the program schedule for weekday
evening meeting times.) Students may take
from one to four classes each term.
The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities,
so students can take a course on another
campus during the regular term. (See
Registration on page 69 and Calendars on
pages 4-7.)
The Augsburg day program follows the
semester calendar, with fall and spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Fulltime students normally take four course
credits each semester.

Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major
adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act
as both mentors and models for students.
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a
doctorate or the highest degree in their
field, and all consider teaching to be the
focus of their activity. Faculty are also
involved in a variety of professional and
research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that
introduces them to current thought in
many fields, but especially in teaching
techniques and theories.

student-designed major allows flexibility in
selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisers, and
obtain AAC approval of the program.
Students should seek AAC approval as
early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into
the design without affecting the student's
proposed completion date. The deadline

Students wishing to develop a transdisciplinary major are to observe the
following:
Students wishing to develop their own
major by combining appropriate portions
of two majors may consider the transdisciplinary major. This major enables students
to respond to a particular career interest.
While such an individually developed
major may satisfy the particular interest of
a student, broad majors may not be suitable for those wishing to pursue graduate
study or pre-professional programs in some
academic fields.

A course in which a grade of 0,0.5,
1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken each term and
grades earned, including W and N, will be
recorded on the academic record. Only the
credits and grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated courses, are
counted toward graduation and in the
grade point average.
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record.
Internships, independent studies, and
directed studies may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is the case, they
must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of
the first term of registration. A grade of X
(extension) is given by the instructor to
indicate that the study is extended. It is
expected that students given X extensions
will continue to communicate with their
instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A
final grade will be issued at the end of the
term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year).

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:
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 cumculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
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 comprise the academic
program of a liberal arts college. The
Assessment of Previous Learning program
(APL) 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.

The Portfolio Assessment
Program-This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning

faculty team is composed of two faculty
members from fields of study directly related
to the student's previous learning. Students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment should consult the Registrar's Office. In completing

response to a formal request by the student.
Students may apply for the credit
assessment process after completing at
least four courses/credits of academic work
at Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process not be used

in conjunction with the English writing
placement test prior to registering for their
first term at Augsburg. Students' placement
in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental Writing,

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 campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is
obtained through previous experiential
learning. In compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential learning, the
student may use any combination of the
four assessment processes available in the
APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams,
departmental comprehensive exams, and
credit granted through portfolio assessment.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0.
Students placed on probation as freshmen
for having earned two zero grades may be

not earned additional zero grades, and if
Students whose overall academic
achievement falls below a 2.0 GPA will
either be placed on scholastic probation at
the end of the term or will be continued on
probation or will be dismissed from the
College. In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a sophomore,
junior, or senior who receives three zero
grades will be considered for probation or
dismissal. However, &missal from the
College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the student's cornrnitment to academic progress is the major
consideration in deciding whether or not to
dismiss a student. Students who have a
poor academic record may be strongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a
term. Those on probation who voluntarily
withdraw from the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll.
It should be noted that a minimum GPA
of 2.0 is required for graduation, with certain
majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.

Courses numbered below 300 are lower
division courses. Courses numbered 300
and above are classified as upper division.
In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s
for juniors, and 400s for seniors.
Courses listed are subject to change. In
general, classes are offered fall andlor
spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The Schedule of Classes published each
spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities (ACTC) lists offerings and
locations for fall and spring terms. This
information is also available on-line.
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are
offered in the Division of Professional
Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one

matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach,
requirements, and evaluations for a
particular course can be obtained from
the instructor.
a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge and truth
are interrelated and are integrated into a
whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth
into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses that
make it more accessible to students. These
courses can be arranged in various ways to
construct majors, to create the substance
of a broad general education, and to give
students the opportunity to study areas of
particular individual interest.

Art Faculty
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a significant
number of art galleries and museums in
the Twin Cities area.
Because of the College's commitment to
the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity
involves manual skill, although to become
broadly significant it should interact with
other fields, such as language, history,
drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science.
Giving and receiving visual messages is
so much a part of everyday life that it is
often taken for granted. At the same time,
however, the interchange of visual ideas is
frequently misunderstood. The task of the
artist, art teacher, graphic designer, architect, and art historian is to celebrate visual
experience through a variety of media and
art examples. In short, the visual arts teach
us how to see.
\ rt is important as a field of study
for our time, helping us to create order and
beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this, we have made
design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the art program at
Augsburg.

Augsburg Seminar
he initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting
period of change. The faculty and staff
wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students
and to help them become part of this academic community. Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation
weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, students are introduced to the character of the
College, its heritage as an urban, liberal
arts college of the Church, the process of
learning in a community where ideas are
valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being students.
The content course usually meets three
hours per week for the entire semester and
is valued at 1.0 course credit, and the
Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for 8
weeks for .25 course credit. The Augsburg
Seminar offers the opportunity for further
discussion of topics from the paired content course, along with presentations on
campus life, academic resources and study
skills, and a hands-on introduction to the
Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. While the
content course is graded on a traditional
point basis, the Augsburg Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (P/N). However, performance in the course is linked to performance in the seminar.

Biology Faculty
For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves as a basis for further study
Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to
careers in college or university teaching,
basic and applied research, and public
health. Many have entered professional
programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have
gone directly into secondary education,
biomedical industries, laboratory research,
natural resources, and environmental education.
An understanding of biological systems
depends, in part, on the principles of
physics and chemistry; thus a firm background in the physical sciences is also
important in the study of biology.
In recent decades great strides have
been made in understandmg important biological processes, particularly those at the
cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels.
Biological research has also provided some
extremely important benefits to humans,
including advances in medicine, agriculture, and food science.
iology is the study of life, and it is
natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
Earth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanhng
of the basic biological processes common
to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for
wise decisions.

Effective May 2006, students will need
to complete the equivalent of 150 semester
hours of education to be licensed as
Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). This
can be completed in four years through
accelerated undergraduate work. Another
option is to complete a four-year Bachelors
degree plus a Masters degree.
The two professional specializations
relate to two professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A certified public
accountant (CPA) focuses on external
reporting; a certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting.
The public accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CPA exam; the managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CMA exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in
addition to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the Minnesota State
Board of Accountancy, accounting majors
in the public accounting specialization are
qualified to sit for the CPA examination
after graduation.
T h e major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related positions.
This major has two tracks: general
accounting and professional accounting.
The general accounting specialization is
adequate for a wide variety of positions.
The professional accounting track includes
two specializations: public accounting and
managerial accounting. The public
accounting specialization is recommended
for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies.

*To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the traditional positions as chemists.
*To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS chemistry
major to compete successfully with their
peers of similar ability in graduate school
or research positions.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists:
The department is on the list of
approved schools of the American
Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields.
Chemists as people must be broadly
educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as
offered in the general education curriculum is imperative if a chemist is to be both
truly human and truly scientific.
Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their
work, including potential problems as well
as benefits.
hemistry is the science that examines and works toward understanding
changes in matter. Chemistry has been
described as the central science because
matter includes the entire physical world,
such as the things we use, the food we eat,
and even ourselves. Correlating the
insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas
that excite and offer opportunities to better
the entire world.

*To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example
of the methodology of the natural sciences
in examining the world around us. The
presentation of major concepts underlying
the changes in matter, the opportunity to
examine change in the physical world, and
the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will
enhance the ability of non-science persons
to make better value judgments concerning
science questions in their own endeavors.
*To encourage students to take a broad
view of their education and to integrate
outside study areas with the sciences.
*To provide an atmosphere of leamhg
so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may
change after graduation, and be able to
move into new areas as opportunities arise.

Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
studies include government service, international business, journalism, language
instruction, Asian arts, and intercultural
communication. The major provides a
foundation for graduate work in various
fields such as anthropology, economics,
history, international relations, business,
law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for
those interested in education and work
with social and recreational agencies.
major in East Asian studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a
result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine, and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China, and other East Asian
nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country.
A
Hamline University offers elementary

(strongly recommended that one of these
be a history course on China or Japan);
and an East Asian studies seminar. A term
of study abroad and the completion of a
minor in another discipline are strongly
recommended.
Major in East Asian Studies
Each campus has a member on the
ACTC East Asian studies committee who
can assist students. The current advisers
are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson,
612-330-1715; Hamline-Richard Kagan,
651-641-2433; Macalester-Yue-him Tam,
651-696-6262; St. Catherine-Helen
Humeston, 651-690-6651; St. ThomasYoung-Ok An, 651-962-5621.
Note: Interim courses or new courses
related to the East Asian Studies Program
may be substituted when appropriate,
with the consent of the campus adviser.
Faculty advising is recommended at all
stages of the major to plan a coherent and
effective program.
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. Courses in
the minor must be pre-approved by the
campus adviser. A minor in East Asian
studies provides exposure to an area of
East Asia that would complement other
disciplines.

Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such
as business administration, international
relations, mathematics, management infor-
The study of economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze and
make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership
and leads to a great diversity of career
opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international
service. Pre-law and potential Master of
Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as
a major or a minor.
The department offers five majors. The
economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business
world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into
the rapidly growing computer science field.
The combined economics/business administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields.
Finally, the teaching major in political sciencdeconomics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid
background for teaching economics.
he Department of Economics offers a
program that stresses a strong theoretical
background, quantitative analysis, and an
emphasis on national and international
issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or
to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts
emphasis within the major.

Bachelor of ArtsIBachelor of
Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) enables students
to 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 Institute of Technology.
The Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides
for two dual degree engineering programs:
University of Minnesota
ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements with two universities to
allow students to earn a bachelor of arts
degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University
of Minnesota Institute of Technology,
Minneapolis; 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.
A
Practicum and Seminar in Special Education

consent of instructor. Open to all.)
EDU 491
The curriculum is the same as the
B.A.B.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 cumculum. The number of such
courses varies by IT department and area
of emphasis within a department.
Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of
Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) 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 Institute 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
Institute of Technology may be completed
during the second semester of the junior

Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry, library sci-
The Augsburg Department of English
integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities of this vital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or
recommended plays, films, and readings
available near the campus. English majors
have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through working in internships
on and off campus, tutoring English as a
Second Language (ESL) students, or tutoring in the writing lab.
English relates closely to other majors.
With the other arts, English is concerned
with the pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of
works of art. With psychology and sociology,
English is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy, English
is interested in ideas and in the relation
between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering
order and determining structures. With
speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at different times
and in various cultures.
hose who study English believe that
an intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
are and who they can become. Writing
helps all of us clarify and share our
thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence.
Through the study of English we see life's
complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which
we live and work.

The study of history enables us to deal
more knowledgeably with continuity and
change in society. The construction of an
informed sense of our past is a fundamental
ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the
future. History majors are prepared to be
active and contributing members of their
society. The study of history, which has
long held a major role in the liberal arts,
is an entry to elementary and secondary
education, graduate study in several fields,
and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing
of information.
istory is to society what memory is
to an individual; it brings to a civilization
an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed
it this way: "No community can survive
and no institution can function without
constant reference to past experience. We
are ruled by precedents fully as much as by
laws, which is to say that we are ruled by
the collective memory of the past. It is the
memory of common experiences that
makes scattered individuals into a community"

disciplines find it helpful to acquire a
minor or a second major in mathematics.
athematics is the study of smcture and relationships and provides tools
for solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world
from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the
problem solving and quantitative reasoning
skills that are increasingly expected of
every member of contemporary society.
Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts
education.
Students may petition the department
to substitute alternative mathematics or
mathematics-intensive courses for one or
two MAT courses numbered above 200.
Such substitutions must be justified by a

Modern Languages Faculty
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation,
but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions.
Students anticipating careers in international business, social work, the diplomatic
corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or
minor in modem languages. In addition,
a minor in languages or linguistics is a
valuable research tool for those intending
to pursue graduate study in most academic
disciplines.
The modem languages department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian, and Spanish.
Introductory courses in Ojibwe and
American Sign Language are offered at
Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese,
Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg
students through the College's affiliation
with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities
colleges.
he Department of Modem Languages
at Augsburg College contributes in many
ways to realizing the College's mission of
providing liberal arts education for service
in today's world. The department is committed to the view that education should
go beyond career preparation and that
familiarity with the language and culture of
another people is an essential step in the
development of a truly global perspective.
T
Transfer students intending to major or
minor in languages must take a minimum
of one upper division course per year at
Augsburg. See majorlminor above for limits on non-Augsburg courses. Courses
accepted for transfer must have been taken
within the past seven years.

in literature or culture. At least three of
these courses must be taught in the target
language, and at least two of them must be
taken on the Augsburg campus.
Minor
The major consists of nine courses
above 21 1 (Norwegian only: 211 and
above), including two courses in culture,
two courses in language, two courses in literature and three electives (from any of the

Augsburg's nursing program, leading to
a bachelor of science degree with a major
in nursing, is accredited by the National
League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for public health
nurse registration in Minnesota. With two
additional courses, they are eligible to
apply for school nurse certification.
The bachelor's degree equips nurses
with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral, and nursing sciences. The nursing program at
Augsburg also provides educational opportunities to increase their skills in critical
thinking, clinical investigation, and decision-making that prepares them to handle
challenging new positions in today's health
care field.
The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called
on to function in a variety of settings that
differ from those in the past. Today nurses
work in hospitals, clinics, corporations,
government agencies, schools, and community organizations, or in their own practices. Wherever they practice, nurses provide comprehensive health care through
the entire life span for people of diverse
cultures and socioeconomic levels.
he Augsburg Department of Nursing
is designed exclusively for registered nurses
who want to increase their opportunities in
the health care field.
T
Courses in the nursing major are
offered on weekends with practicum courses requiring additional weekday time.
More time may be required to complete the
total course of study depending on the
number of credits transferred from other
colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take non-nursing courses in both
day school and Weekend College. Students
interested in pursuing the nursing major
should consult with the program coordinator from the Department of Nursing for
program planning.
The program has been planned so that
the major can be completed within two
academic years; however, students may
pursue their studies at a slower pace.
A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and cumulative GPA of 2.5 at
the completion of Level I and Level I1
courses of study are required. Students also
must complete Augsburg's residence and

The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy,
while others use the major to prepare for
other professional studies such as law,
medicine, the Christian ministry, or journalism.
Students learn to ask and answer these
and other similar questions for themselves
through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by philosophers
from the past and present.
hilosophy is in an important sense
the most fundamental of the disciplines.
All of the sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, it is concerned with asking and answering the
"big" questions that are the most basic. For
example, Is there a God? Is there life after
death? Are there absolute moral standards?
What kind of life is the best? What is
knowledge and what are its sources?
Philosophy Minor
Five courses, including two from
PHI 241,242,343, and 344.
Admission to the philosophy honors
program is 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 that involves research above the
course level, and a defense of this thesis
before the faculty of the department.
Departmental Honors
In addition to a major and minor in
philosophy, the philosophy department
also offers a cross-disciplinary major in
conjunction with the computer science
department emphasizing areas of interest
in which philosophy and computer science
overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the
major is to augment the technical skills of
a computer scientist with the creativity and
liberal arts perspective of a philosopher.
The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an
excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See course listing

action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. Beginning by asking what the
end or purpose of human life is, students decide on the moral and intellectual
virtues required to reach the end. Topics of friendship and human love are followed by an analysis of human happiness. Students who receive credit for PHI
125 may not receive credit for PHI 120.
A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, emotions, and
Ethics and Human Identity
By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they
use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical
approaches to evaluating moral actions and then applies them to contemporary issues. Christian ethics will inform the considerations. Students who
receive credit for PHI 120 may not receive credit for PHI 125.
Ethics
This course introduces students to typical philosophical questions (like how
we know, if we can have certain knowledge, if there are universal moral principles whether God exists, the nature of the mind, etc.), to philosophical vocabulary, and to critical thinking and what it means to view the world philosophically
Philosophy 21
Philosophy and the Arts
Class discussion of philosophical issues raised and illustrated by painting,
sculpture, literature, music, architecture, and film: the truth and falsehood of
aesthetic judgment, the definition of "work of art"; the nature of aesthetic
experience, the evaluation of art, creativity, the relation between the artist's
intention, the work of art, and its relation to the rest of the artistic tradition.

Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and the need to keep
abreast of rapid technological advances,
the department strives to give students not
only an understanding of basic concepts,
but also insights into recent developments.
A rigorous major provides students with
the preparation required for graduate study
in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work
in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, computer science, atmospheric
science and meteorology, oceanography,
biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The
department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that
enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science.
These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to
follow new developments with some
degree of comprehension.
p
hysicists
. . are a curious and ambitious
lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern
all physical aspects of the universe.
Historically called "natural philosophers,"
physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical
analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to
the largest galaxies and from the relative
stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery
activity of stars. Physics plays an important
role in many of the liberal arts disciplines
and contributes to society's understanding
of such areas as energy, weather, medical
science, and space exploration.

sychology is an exploration of
behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding
of individual and group behavior. The
study of psychology equips students to
understand and use the scientific method
to think creatively and critically beyond
the classroom. To prepare students for
graduate study and work in psychology,
the major emphasizes the complementary
components of a strong foundation in
research and theoretical work with the
application of knowledge and skills in
coursework, research experiences, and
internships within the community The
curriculum's emphasis on the experiential
dimensions of learning and the integration
of liberal arts and professional domains
prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social
services, research, law, government,

Sociology Faculty
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships,
independent study, and field studies. The
department urges students to use
Augsburg's metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships, service
learning, and cooperative education enable
majors to apply the theories and research
skills of sociology while they explore
career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who
have majored in sociology are currently
employed in the human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice field, and
as professors of sociology. Others have
used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as law, the
ministry, social work, urban planning, and
human services.
The goal of the department is to guide
students in gaining knowledge of the social
order, how it affects them in their daily
lives, and how it can be applied to their
vocation. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
scientific tools of analysis, and practice the
application of sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
ociology is the study of society as a
whole and of human social organization in
groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social
world and how human beings come to
think and act as they do.
Students interested in community
crime prevention as well as the traditional
aspects of criminal justice-courts, prisons, probation, and law-will be served by
this concentration in the major. Additional
courses required for the concentration are:
SOC 211, SOC 231, SOC 265, SOC 277
and an upper division Internship approved
by the department. See Diane Pike for
advising and visit the department Web site
for details.
Concentration in Crime and
Community
This concentration is designed to give
sociology majors a concentration in urban
community studies, which includes an
applied sociology focus emphasizing city
and community planning with a required
internship. In addition to the seven core
courses, students are required to take four
additional courses: SOC 211, SOC 381,
SOC 399 and one additional elective. See
Gany Hesser for advising and visit the
department Web site for details.

Prospective majors should meet with a
departmental adviser as early as possible to
design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.
The Augsburg communication major
focuses on competency in both speech and
writing, as well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities
and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as
aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics, and research methods in
their programs.
Since communication careers demand a
broad educational background, the department strongly encourages a second major
or two minors in fields such as business,
economics, English, history, international
relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts.

Series (an annual series of events featuring
visiting theatre professionals from the Twin
Cities community who work closely with
students,) and attendance at numerous
professional productions in the Twin
Cities. Augsburg theatre productions are
treated as unique learning laboratories
where students can enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional
artists-in-residence.

from two-year institutions toward the
minimum of 32 Augsburg credits required
for a baccalaureate degree. These courses
can, however, be used to meet Augsburg
Core Curriculum and major requirements.
Augsburg College welcomes students who
wish to transfer from other accredited
colleges or universities. College credit is
granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily
completed at accredited institutions. The
College reserves the right not to grant credit
for courses where it considers the work
unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for
work taken at unaccredited institutions, and
to require that certain courses be taken at

Engaging Minneapolis courses are specially
designed courses that make intentional and
substantial use of the resources of the Twin
Cities as they orient first-year weekday students
to the community where they will be studying,
living, and working during their college careers.
Most Engaging Minneapolis courses also fulfill
an Augsburg Core Curriculum or major
requirement. They normally are taken during the
first year, but may be taken in the second year.
Engaging Minneapolis
All students who enter the College as first-year
students in the weekday schedule program
must satisfactorily complete fall orientation
and the Augsburg Seminar. The Seminar is
attached to a first-semester major or Augsburg
Core Cuniculum course. Its purpose is to
introduce students to what it means to have
an Augsburg education and to help them
make the transition to college work.
Augsburg Seminar
In order to help them make the transition to
college and their new community, first-year
weekday program students are required to
take Augsburg Core Curriculum and
introductory major courses containing the
following components:
The Augsburg First Year
The Senior Keystone course connects the
broad liberal arts foundation with the
professional skills and in-depth study of the
major. It thus asks graduating students to
think critically, reflectively, and ethically
about their place in the world as leaders and
servants.
The Senior Keystone course provides a final
opportunity for exploring the central themes
of an Augsburg education- vocation and the
search for meaning in a diverse and
challenging world. Students will reflect upon
the meaning of their educational experiences
and consider issues of transition as they
prepare for their lives after Augsburg.

to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2
must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG
3 . Students in MPG 3 must take MAT
114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT
course changes a student's MPG. A grade
of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to
advance to the next math level.
Two Foundations of Fitness courses are
required. HPE 001 Foundations of
Fitness (or a transfer equivalent) is
required of all students. The second
course may be chosen from a variety of
different lifetime activities. Students who
are not health and physical education
majors or intercollegiate athletes may test
out of one lifetime activity course.
Students may demonstrate proficiency
from a selected list of lifetime activities.
There is a fee to take the lifetime activity
proficiency test.
Foundations of Fitness
Students whose first language is not
English and whose score is below the
minimum on the ESL placement test
must fulfill the English as a Second
Language (ESL) requirement. The
requirement is satisfied by successfully
completing the ESL course(s) and
achieving a score above the minimum on
the ESL placement exam. Students who
complete the ESL requirement fulfill the
Modern Language Graduation Skill
requirement. Contact Academic Advising
or the English Department for additional
information.
Students who have demonstrated
competence in American Sign Language
by passing an approved course sequence
will have fulfilled the Modern Language
Skill.
There is a seven-year time limit on
language courses presented for transfer
and automatic waiver.
Requirements for the Modern Language
Skill are determined by placement test.
For a language previously studied,
successful completion (minimum grade of
2.0 or P) of one language course at your
placement level (112 or higher) satisfies
the requirement. For a language not
previously studied, successful completion
of a two-course sequence in the same
language with the minimum grade of
2.0P in both courses is required. Students
whose placement test is at 31 1 or higher
will be exempted from further language
study
Modern Language
All Writing Skill courses have the
prerequisite of ENG 111 or its equivalent. All
Quantitative Reasoning Skill courses have the
prerequisite of Math Placement Group 3 , and
all Critical Thinking Skill courses have the
prerequisite of passing the entry level Critical
Thinking Assessment or GST 100.
Graduation skill requirements typically
are embedded in required courses in the
major. Some departments, however, designate
courses outside the major or elective courses
in the major that fulfill this requirement.
Academic advisers will provide a list of these
courses.
An Augsburg education includes enhancement
of certain skills during the years in college.
Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning,
speaking, and writing skills are deliberate
components of certain courses. Students are
required to have one course each with Critical
Thinking, Quantitative Reasoning, and
Speaking skill components, and two courses
with a Writing Skill component. These
requirements are modified for advanced
transfer students (see page 10).
Graduation Skills Requirements

A
t Augsburg College, we believe that
the college experience should be a time of
exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and new possibilities. We also
believe that a liberal arts education is your
best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of
today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you
will be able to demonstrate not only the
mastery of a major field of study, but also
the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively
Emphasis on values, perspectives,
experience, and skills
The heart of an Augsburg education is
the Augsburg cuniculum-the College's
general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses
requiring students to consider important
issues and examine values questions. These
Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western
Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human
Identity the Social World, Christian Faith,
The City, Aesthetics, and the Natural World.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you
for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to
name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in
the heart of a thriving metropolitan area,
many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense,
the resources of the Twin Cities are an
extended campus for Augsburg students.
Selection from over 50 majors
Augsburg offers more than 50 majorsor you can create your own major either
on campus or through the Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See
page 55 for a complete list of majors and
minors.) This five-college consortium
allows students to take courses on other
campuses without charge while a full-time
student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes
Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine,
Hamline University, Macalester College,
and the University of St. Thomas.
Through the Weekend College
Program, 14 majors are offered.
MISSION STATEMENT
Students who graduate from Augsburg
are well prepared to make a difference in
the world. They stand as testaments to the
College motto, "Education for Service,"
and to the mission of the College:
To nurture future leaders in service to
the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in
the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and
values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by
an intentionally diverse campus community
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America,
named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in
1530. Augsburg opened in September
1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved
to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first
graduation was in 1879.

About Augsburg 1
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
The Focus Changed
August Weenaas was Augsburg's first
president (1869-1876).
This attitude began to change after
World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr.
became president. He worked to develop
college departments with an appeal to a
broader range of students than just those
intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of
Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She
spent the next 42 years at the College as a
teacher and administrator.
Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg
Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate
Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part
plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and
businessman. The statement stressed that a
good education is also practical.
Augsburg's next two presidents also
emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts
of education. This commitment to church
and community has been Augsburg's theme
for over 125 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist"
college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second
president (1876-1907), required students
to get pre-ministerial experience in city
congregations. Student involvement in the
community gave early expression to the
concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education
for Service."
In the 18905, Augsburg leaders formed
the Friends of Augsburg, later called the
Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and
personal Christianity. This change made
Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important
primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation
together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected
Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and
scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and
civic circles made Augsburg a more visible
part of church and city life.
After World War 11, Augsburg leaders
made vigorous efforts to expand and improve
academic offerings. Now the College was a
larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential
to a liberal arts college, offering a modem
college program based on general education requirements and elective majors.
With curriculum change came a long effort
to become accredited.
The College reached accreditation in
1954, although many alumni had entered
graduate schools and teaching positions
long before that time.
A study in 1962 defined the College's
mission as serving the good of society first
and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to
Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther
Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the
American Lutheran Church.

2 About Augsburg
A College in the City
President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on
involvement with the city. He wanted to
reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for
all people. During his years of leadership
the College became a vital and integral part
of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg
added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall,
Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders
who believed:
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College
from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's
commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in
enrollment and programs, and a cuniculum that draws on the resources of the city
as extensions of campus and classroom.
Some of the accomplishments during his
tenure include instituting two graduate
degree programs, hosting national and
international figures at College-sponsored
forums and events, increasing accessibility,
and the addition of the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the
James G. Lindell Family Library.
The city-with all its excitement,
challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled
learning laboratory for Augsburg students.
Dr. William \! Frame became president
in August 1997. He has initiated a strategic
planning process intended to idennfy the
distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and
a restructuring effort intended to improve
operating efficiencies and open access for the
College to new sources of capital.
Augsburg also offers graduate and
undergraduate level nursing courses as
well as supporting degree courses through
its Rochester Program based in Rochester,
Minnesota.
In 1999, a new apartment-style student
residence opened. Major renovation of
Sverdrup Hall created space for the
Enrollment and Financial Services Center,
the Women's Resource Center, and the
Honors Program Suite; a skyway link to
Lindell Library was constructed.
An Augsburg education should be
preparation for service in community and
church;
Education should have a solid liberal
arts core with a practical dimension in
order to send out productive, creative, and
successful citizens;
Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution
set in the heart of a great memopolitan center.
There are now almost 16,000 Augsburg
alumni. In a world that has changed much
since those first days of the College,
Augsburg still sends out graduates who
make a difference where they live and work.
In addition to undergraduate liberal
arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's

WEEKEND COLLEGE
Augsburg's Weekend College program
provides an educational alternative to
adults who desire college experience but
who work or have other commitments
during the week. It is a means by which
men and women may earn a baccalaureate
degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more
areas of the liberal arts.

About Augsburg 1
Weekend College began in 1982 with
69 students taking courses in three majors.
Eight courses were offered in the first term.
Today with more than 1,000 students
enrolled each term and 14 majors,
Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest
program of its kind in the state. Faculty in
Weekend College are full-time Augsburg
professors as well as adjunct professionals.
The Weekend College student body is
involved in student government, and students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations.
A Community of Learners
Augsburg Weekend College continues
to develop to meet the needs of the adult
and nontraditional student.
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty
hold the doctorate or other terminal degree
and all consider teaching to be the focus of
their activity at the College. Faculty are
involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but these support
and are secondary to their teaching. They
are actively involved in a dynamic faculty
development program that introduces
them to current thought in many fields,
but especially in teaching and learning
techniques and theories.
The Adult as Learner
Augsburg Weekend College is based on
the assumption that students who enroll in
the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a
combination of classroom experience and
individual study. Each course is divided
into periods of concentrated on-campus
study separated by time for independent
study and class preparation.
Alternate Weekends
To accommodate this learning format,
classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either
Friday evening, Saturday morning,
Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon.
Laboratory sections or additional class
hours may be scheduled during the week.
Weekend College students may take from
one to four courses each term. Selected
courses are also available on weekday
evenings and are open to both day and
Weekend College students. The academic
year for Weekend College is divided into
three trimesters.
Essential to the goals of Augsburg's
Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community
is enriched by the presence of men and
women with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages
Weekend College students to make use of
College facilities such as Lindell Library
and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and
dramatic presentations and athletic events.
Weekend College Faculty
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

have completed at least one full term,
withdraw from all courses for the current
term, and receive federal Title IV financial
assistance (including Pel1 Grant, SEO

accident, the refund will include the normal percentage plus one-half of the percentage adjustment, upon submission of
documentation from the attending doctor
stating the inability or inadvisability of
continued enrollment.
UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL
Federal regulations require that records
of financial aid recipients who earn failing
grades in all their classes be reviewed. If
courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial
withdrawal, stopped attending), the
College is required to refund financial aid
to the appropriate sources according to
federal or Augsburg refund policies based
on the last recorded date of attendance.
Students are responsible for the entire cost of
the term including the portion previously
covered by financial aid should they stop
attending. Students are strongly urged to
follow guidelines for complete withdrawal
from college. If there are extenuating
circumstances, a petition to have the cost
of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available in the Office of Student
Life in Christensen Center.
All students who wish to be considered
for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This
includes completing the application process
as outlined below and meeting the academic progress standards outlined in the
brochure "Academic Progress Standards for
Financial Aid." This brochure is available
from the Enrollment and Financial Services
Center and is distributed to students on an
annual basis.
Financing higher education could be
the most significant investment a person
or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not
only in choosing a college, but also in the
methods used to pay for it. Augsburg
College, through its EFSC, will help students and their families protect access to a
quality Augsburg education in a time of
increasing financial challenge.
Financial assistance awarded through
Augsburg may be a combination of
scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time
work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private
agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 1999-2000 academic
year, more than eight out of ten students at
Augsburg received financial assistance.
The primary responsibility for financing
a college education rests upon the student
and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg
Financial Aid Application help determine
the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into
account such family financial factors as
-
Financial Information 3'
current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational
expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations.

your financial aid application:

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

Augsburg College, students are urged to
investigate the possibility of scholarships,
grants and loans that might be available in
their own communities. It is worthwhile to

schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to
students who meet their requirements. In

5 3TUDENT LIFE
E
xperiences in the classroom are an
important part of college life, but learning
and development also occur in formal and
informal activities of the College and the
metropolitan area. Whether students are
residents or commuters, the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg will add
dimension to their education.
As a college of the church, we are
concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern
for spiritual growth is evident in the
opportunities we encourage and provide
for students to explore their own faith.
Because our campus is comprised of
individuals from many different religious
and cultural backgrounds, our worship life
is characterized by a similar diversity and
richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth
groups, outreach teams and community
outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and
justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are
examples of the wide variety of activities
on campus.
This ministry finds its most visible
expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to
give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and
musicians. Each Wednesday night students
gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays,
Trinity Lutheran worship services are held
on campus, with many other churches
within walking distance.
We seek to develop a free and open
environment where people are encouraged
to use and discover the gifts and sense of
call and vocation that God has given them.
As a college of the church, we encourage
students to form values guided by our
Christian heritage, which will be the basis
for the kind and quality of life that reaches
beyond their years at Augsburg.
The college pastor, associate college
pastor, and campus ministry staff have
offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center
for Worship, Drama, and Communication
and are available for spiritual guidance,
counseling, support, or information.
Through Student Government, students
secure a closer relationship with and better
understanding of the administration and
faculty and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student
Government also sponsors and directs student organizations, protects student rights,
and provides the means for discussions
and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg.
Student Government is organized into
the executive branch, the legislative
branch, and the judicial branch. Elections
are held in the spring for the next year.
Freshmen elect their representatives in the
fall of their first year. Many kinds of
involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact
the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level
of the Christensen Center.
The Student Activities Program creates
opportunities for students to enhance their
leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and
organizations that serve the student community Hundreds of major programming
efforts and targeted activities for specific
student interests are generated through
these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment.
SOCIAL, CULTURAL, RECREATIONAL
Throughout the year, a variety of social
and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These
activities include dances, films, theme
events, name entertainment, and visiting
personalities in various fields.
The Christensen Center is the focus of
leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's
Attic (the gameroom and student lounge)
is a popular hangout located in the lower
level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests
meet here. Student offices in this area
include the College newspaper, the Echo;
the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student
Government; and the Augsburg Student
Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the
needs of Augsburg and the surrounding
Cedar-Riverside community, is located in
Urness Tower.
FINE ARTS
Students have many opportunities to
participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the
city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band,
and Orchestra perform on national and
international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of
musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the
Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus
workshops with visiting arts professionals.
H INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Augsburg is affiliated with the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (MLAC) and is a member of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men
annually compete in football, soccer, cross
country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling,
baseball, track and field, and golf. Women
annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball,
track and field, and golf.
During 1999-2000, Augsburg men's and
women's athletics marked the 75th
anniversary of intercollegiate competition.
Every student is urged to participate in
some activity for recreation and relaxation.
An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as
individual performance activities.
Broomball has been an especially popular
coed sport. Check schedules for times
when there is open use of the gymnasium
and ice arena.
SPORTS AND RECREATION
At Augsburg, sports are for the average
student as well as the intercollegiate
athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena,
gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center
with workout machines and weight room,
and an air supported dome over the athletic
field for winter fitness use by walkers and
runners. (See Fitness Center on page 47.)

14 Student Life
Augsburg's mission focuses on student
learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student
learning, the student and academic affairs
offices work to bring together the student
learning found in the classroom with the
activities of experiential education and
work, residence life, and the learning
resources of the library and information
technology. The following sections elaborate on facets of student life. The formal
academic programs and requirements are
described on page 55.
ACADEMIC SKILLS CENTER
The Academic Skills Center, located in
Room 171 of Foss Center, is designed to
offer students study-skills assistance so

their skills in such areas as time management, notetaking, textbook reading and
comprehension, test-taking, and concentration and memory improvement. Diagnostic
testing is also available to assess skills in
reading, vocabulary, spelling, study strategies, and learning styles. The staff will
assist students in developing effective and
efficient study skills.
The Karen M. Housh Tutor Center,
located in Foss Center, Room 18, arranges
for students to meet with tutors for content tutoring in most freshman- and
sophomore-level courses. The center also
notifies students of tutoring labs available
and coordinates supplementary instruction
sessions, in which tutors attend the classes
and lead discussions after class on major
concepts of the course.
The John Evans Learning Laboratory,
located in Foss Center, Room 18, offers
students the opportunity to improve skills
in reading, writing, and mathematics
through the use of computer software, as
well as to review and prepare software for
tests such as PPST, MCAT, LSAT, and GRE.
Tutors are available to demonstrate the
uses of the software, and students are able
to monitor their progress.
PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Adaptive
Student Services (CLASS) Program serves
over 200 students and is recognized as a
leader in supporting college students with
disabilities. The CLASS Program exemplifies the College's commitment to provide a
high-quality liberal arts education for students with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and preparation. Augsburg is committed to recruiting, retaining, and graduating students with diagnosed learning,
physical, and psychiatric disabilities who
demonstrate the ability and willingness to
participate in college-level learning.
The CLASS staff includes five learning
disabilities specialists and a physical disabilities specialist who meet individually
with students to assist them with advising
and registration, academic support services, learning strategies, self-advocacy
skills, organization and time management,
and determining appropriate accommodations. The accommodations specialist coordinates testing accommodations, notetaking services, taped textbooks, adaptive
technology, such as dictation and voice
recognition software, a scanner, CCW,
Braille printer, adaptive keyboards, and
computer assistance.
This level of individualized, academic
support is possible through an endowment
from the Gage Family, which allows the
CLASS Program to provide specialized services to its students, especially those with
learning disabilities.

CENTER FOR COUNSELING AND
HEALTH PROMOTION
Counseling
Augsburg College does not require that
students have or show proof of health
insurance, with the exception of international students and students who participate in intercollegiate athletics.

trained, experienced counselors.
Counselors serve as advocates providing
support and assistance with direction.
Services include individual counseling,
group counseling, psychological testing,
assessment and referral, workshops, and
consultation and outreach.
The College offers basic health care services to students with or without health
insurance through a contract with UFPSmiley's Clinic. These services are limited.
Emergency services of any kind are not

counselor, a student may discuss personal
issues such as stress, depression, roommate
problems, intimacy and sexuality, drug use,
family problems, motivation, transitions,
breaking away from family, self-image, difficult decisions, eating concerns, etc.
Professional counseling can make a substantial contribution to the educational
experiences of the student by providing the

Student Life
International students receive assistance
in meeting their educational objectives
through advising on academic concerns,
immigration and visa requirements, tax
information, practical matters, and personal concerns.
New international students participate
in an orientation program before the beginning of the term that provides practical
information on housing, banking, using
local transportation, and course registration. Students also learn about the U.S.
educational system, intercultural communication theory, and how to adjust to life at
Augsburg.
(Also see English as a Second Language

classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice
arena, fitness center and Christensen
Center. With just under 900 students living on campus, most students and faculty
greet each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance of
the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students who
live on campus are more likely to complete
their degrees. Residence life staff are on
hand to help students become acquainted
with life at Augsburg thorugh social and
educational events. They are also ready to
assist students who need help or friendship.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, fun and leadership.
Research indicates that students living in
residence halls earn higher grades and gain
greater satisfaction during their college
career. Numerous events are planned to
welcome students to the community,
including dances, movie nights, coffee
house concerts and weeks devoted to special themes or issues.
Resident students have access to a 24hour computer lounge and study, 24-hour
security, laundry facilities and vending

Office of Academic and Learning Services.
FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
AND PRIVACY ACT
The Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended,

83 and in the Student Guide distributed
annually to students.
Augsburg College understands that no
information other than "directory information" can be released without the written
permission of the student. Students must
give permission in writing for educational
information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and
administration) at Augsburg. This means
that faculty or others cannot write letters
of support/recommendation or nominate
students for awards unless explicit written
permission is given by the student to
release non-"directory information." It

INFORMATION
A
ugsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students
must be educated intellectually, spiritually,
and physically. To act effectively, human
beings must have a broad grasp of the
world from which they have come as well
as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education cuniculum introduces students to
the breadth and complexity of knowledge
and culture.
Required courses in Christian Faith are
designed to acquaint students with the
Christian tradition and encourage them to
reflect upon the importance and meaning
of spirituality in their lives. Recreation
courses offer students opportunities to
develop skills for participation in exercise
and sporting activities.
Students choose from over 50 major
areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a
career or further study. Thus, through a
balance of curricular activities supported
by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education
strives to educate its students in a real
world for the real world.
DECREES OFFERED
Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts,
the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of
science degrees. Augsburg also offers the
master of arts in leadership, master of arts
in nursing, the master of science in physician assistant studies, and the master of
social work degrees.
ters of approximately 14 weeks, separated
by a four-week January Interim. Full-time
students normally take four course credits
each semester and one course during
Interim. Day school freshmen are required
to take an Interim course their first year.
The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of
the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities,
so students can take a course on another
campus during the regular term. (See
Registration on page 66 and Calendars on
pages 4-7.) January Interim is particularly
intended to be a time for both students
and faculty to employ different styles of
teaching and learning, and to investigate
questions and topics in places and ways
not possible during the regular term. The
Interim catalog, published in the fall of
each year, is distributed to all students and
is available by contacting the Interim
Office. In addition to classes offered on
campus, Augsburg offers a variety of travel
opportunities within the United States and
abroad.
Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a
trimester calendar. The fall trimester is
held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from
January through early April. Spring classes
are held from mid-April through the end of
June. There are 7-8 class sessions each
trimester, and classes meet on weekends
for three and one-half to four hours.
Students may take from one to four classes
each term.
H ACADEMIC CALENDAR
Courses and majors offered through
Weekend College are the same as their day
program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts
courses and majors.

Augsburg graduate programs follow a
trimester calendar (see Graduate Programs
on page 65.)
FACULTY
The heart of any educational institution
is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a
doctorate or other terminal degree, and all
consider teaching to be the focus of their
activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting
their teaching. They are actively involved
in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current
thought in many fields, but especially in
teaching techniques and theories.
Augsburg's size and small classes
encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students.
Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.
Every freshman is assigned an Augsburg
Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major
adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act
as both mentors and models for students.
LIBRARY AND INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
The James G. Lindell Family Library
opened at the start of the 1997-98 academic year. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot
facility houses all library and information
technology functions of the College. In
addition to the 175,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library includes the
Gage Family Art Gallery, special collections
and archives, a curriculum library and
instructional technology lab, library
instruction classroom, and facilities for
media viewing and listening. A bridge links
the new building to Sverdrup Hall (the former library), which has undergone renovation to house the Enrollment and Financial
Services Center, as well as additional computer labs and multimedia classrooms, a
lounge and vending area.
Library Resources
A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty alike with assistance to
meet diverse information needs including
instruction in the use of the library, reference service, and guidance in pursuing
research. Arrangements are made for access
by students with physical limitation and
special needs. Students can search a wide
variety of local, regional, national, and
international databases. Electronic access
to the world of scholarship is also available
through the Internet, and a computerized

MAJORS AND MINORS
Majors, or concentrations of study, may
be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines.
Some students decide on a major or majors
before they enter college. Others explore a
variety of disciplines before deciding.
Normally a major should be elected by the
end of the fourth semester and earlier in
some disciplines. Details of majors and
minors are in the course description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors
are part of the bachelor of arts degree.
Students may contact the registrar
about creating a student-designed major.
1
Majors shaded in blue are offered
through both the day program and
Weekend College. Weekend College students may choose a major offered only in
Weekend College, then finish the major a
a day program student. A change of program is allowed once each academic year.
Transdisciplinary Majors
Students wishing to develop their own
major by combining appropriate portions
of two majors may consider the transdisciplinary major. This major enables students
to respond to a particular career interest.
While such an individually developed
major may satisfy the particular interest of
a student, broad majors may not be suitable for those wishing to pursue graduate
study or pre-professional programs in some
academic fields.
Students wishing to develop a transdisciplinary major are to observe the
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 end
of his or her sophomore year. Contract
forms are available in the registrar's office.
C. The contract must be approved by
the student's adviser, the department chairs
of the two majors to be combined, and the
Committee on Student Standing.

58 Academic Information
Students seeking elementary licensure
have advisers in the education department.
Students seeking 5-12 and K-12 licensure
have advisers in their subject area major
and in the education department. It is very
important that students work closely with
their advisers throughout their programs.
Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan to enter the fields of
law, medicine, dentistry, 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 to assist
students in their planning. Students who
want to plan a pre-professional program
should contact the Academic Advising
Center 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, two courses;
BIO 113,114,215; PHY 121,122; CHM
115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351, 352; MAT

degree and major requirements on pages
136-137.
Pre-Law-Students considering a
career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of
American Law Schools. Students may wish
to take law-related courses to help determine their interest in law. Pre-law students
should major in a discipline of their own
choosing; most law school entrance
requirements will be satisfied with a record
of solid achievement coupled with an
acceptable LSAT score.
Pre-Medicine-Many medical schools
are encouraging a liberal arts education to
prepare for study in medicine. While a
major in chemistry and biology is not
required to apply to medical schools, many
students with an interest in the sciences
choose to major in these fields.
Coursework that is required by most medical schools includes: two composition
courses, including ENG 111; CHM 115,
116 (or 105, 106); CHM 351,352; BIO
113, 114,215,367; MAT 145, 146; PHY
121, 122. Courses recommended in preparation for MCATs: BIO 355,473,476;
CHM 361.
Pre-Occupational Therapy, PrePhysician Assistant, and Pre-Physical
Therapy-Coursework in preparation for
these training programs should be discussed with a faculty member in the
Department of Biology.
Pre-Pharmacy-Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum
requirements of the College of Pharmacy
at the University of Minnesota: BIO 113,
114,215,476; CHM 115, 116 (or 105,
106), 351,352; ECO 113; ENG 111, and

HONORS PROGRAM
The Honors Program is designed to
challenge and encourage the most academically distinguished students at Augsburg.
The program combines academic and cultural components with social activities.
Members of the program normally enter as
freshmen, but students may enter the program as late as the beginning of the junior
year. Students graduate from the Honors
Program upon successful completion of the
program, which is noted on the transcript.
That notation provides an advantage for
both employment and graduate school
application.
The Honors Program at Augsburg was
awarded a National Science Foundation
Grant from 1995-1997 to establish an
Honors Computing and Communications
Lab, and to put the program on a computational footing. Students entering the program as freshmen are required to take an
honors version of CSC 160 Introduction to
Computer Science and Communications,
which establishes crisp computing and
communications skills at the outset of
their collegiate careers. Other courses in
the program make use of these computing
skills in lab-oriented sequences exploring
literature, writing, history, religion, philosophy, and social and natural science.
During the junior and senior years, stu-
dents take four mini-seminars (one full
course credit upon completion), one each
semester, and participate in a six-week
Monday Forum Program each term.
Seniors take a senior seminar during
Interim, which satisfies a perspective
requirement, and are obliged to complete
an approved honors project. Some seniors
satisfy this requirement by serving on the
Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal
that publishes outstanding student papers.
Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance
of at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a
3.4 the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last
two years. Please direct inquiries to Dr.
Joan Griffin, director of the Honors
Program, (612) 330-1045.
INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities
area on several programs.
Library and Media CenterThrough CLIC, the Twin Cities private
colleges library consortium, the Augsburg
community has direct access to over
1,300,000 volumes.
Associated Colleges of t h e Twin
Cities (ACTC)-Full-time day students at
Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and
universities 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 or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain
new perspectives, to get better acquainted
with the other schools, or to undertake a
specific course or major not offered on the
home campus. The colleges have coordi-
-
60 Academic Information
nated 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.
Weekend College students may not participate in the ACTC consortium program.
Higher Education Consortium for
Urban Affairs (HECUA)-Augsburg, in
cooperation with 17 other colleges and
universities, offers off-campus study
semesters in Scandinavia, South and
Central America, and the Twin Cities. (See
HECUA programs on page 62.)
Air Force ROTC-Augsburg day students may participate in the Air Force
ROTC program at the University of St.
Thomas under the ACTC consortium
agreement. Students are eligible to compete
for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the
registrar's office.
Army ROTC-Augsburg day students
may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under
an agreement between Augsburg, the
University of Minnesota, and the
program. For more information, contact
the registrar's office.
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 registrar's office.
Note: A maximum of one full Augsburg
course credit of military science studies
may apply toward the total credits required
for graduation. Additional military science
credits beyond the one credit allowed will
be classified as non-degree credits.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STUDY ABROAD
An increasing number of Augsburg students are taking advantage of the opportunity to gain academic credit for an overseas
experience. Through study abroad students
may meet with grassroots women's organizations in Mexico, work in a small business or artisan program in Kenya, examine
Scandinavian perspectives on world peace
in Norway, or thrill to the sounds of The
Magic Flute at the Viennese state opera
house. Study abroad provides opportunities to develop critical thinking skills,
strengthen language competencies, further
career paths, experience different cultures,
and gain knowledge about the increasingly
interdependent world.
Academic Requirements a n d Credit
Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as if
studying on campus. Courses abroad can
fulfill major, general education, and graduation requirements when approved by academic advisers and department chairs
before departure.
Students receive advice on selecting
programs that best fit their academic,
career, and personal objectives. Assistance
is provided with application, course registration, financing, and travel arrangements.
Orientation and re-entry programs assist
students in integrating the experience
abroad into their coursework and
personal lives.
-
Academic Information 61
Eligibility and Application
All students in good academic standing
(a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may
apply for permission to study off campus.
Although foreign language skills are an
asset, they are not required. Since it takes
some time to prepare for studying abroad,
students should start planning during their
freshman and sophomore years.
The deadline for application is Sept. 30
for off-campus study during spring term
and March 1 for off-campus study during
fall term.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of many programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for a
semester on campus. Financial aid is granted
on the same basis as on-campus study.
Cost estimates are drawn up to assist the
financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying overseas.
The Center for Global Education
The mission of the Center for Global
Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of
local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place
leading to a more just and sustainable
world.
The center's study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and
Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with
other participants in a community house,
spending several days in a rural setting,
and several weeks living with host families.
They also travel together on two-week
seminars-from Mexico to Central
America, and from Namibia to South
Africa. The cost of these programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for
one semester on campus, plus airfare.

THE CENTER FOR SERVICE, WORK,
AND LEARNING
The Center for Service, Work, and
Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an experiential educational focus
emphasizing the importance and value for
all students to engage in service and workbased learning experiences.
The center helps students take advantage of Augsburg's metropolitan location
through the highly successful experiential
programs that link the College's academic
programs to Twin Cities employers and
organizations. Through internships, cooperative education, and community servicelearning, Augsburg students enrich and
expand their liberal arts education by
embracing the worlds of work and service
and integrating this learning with their
education, career, and vocation plan.
Experiential education opportunities
are closely related to a student's major,
coursework, or career interest. Placement
opportunities may be in small and midsize companies, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government
agencies, and community-based organizations.
The underlying assumption is that a
liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowing and doing" adds
breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making
more informed academic, personal, and
career decisions.
The Center for Service, Work and
Learning includes the following programs:
Academic Internships
An academic internship is a carefully
planned, service or work-based learning
experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning
64 Academic Information
objectives. Academic credit is received for
the learning derived from the experience.
A learning agreement plan, negotiated with
a faculty supervisor and work supervisor,
outlines the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods.
An academic internship is approved,
supervised, and evaluated by a faculty
member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship credit. Upper division internships are numbered 399 and lower division internships
are numbered 199 (see page 87).
Internships are available in all majors
and can be taken during a semester (or
Weekend College trimester), Interim, or
summer session. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. For extension of
an internship beyond one term see
Evaluation and Grading on page 77.
A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses
required for the degree.
Cooperative Education
Cooperative education is a college-supported, paid, work-learning experience that
is closely related to a student's major or
career objective. The goal is to combine
theory with practice in work or servicebased settings.
Students also earn money to help
defray educational costs while gaining
important on-the-job experience. Job
opportunities typically are part-time during
the academic year andlor full-time in the
summer. Co-op jobs are flexible and can
begin and end anytime. Co-op ed is not
accredited in and of itself, but a non-credit
cooperative education transcript notation
is highly recommended during the academic terms the student is employed. Co-op
ed students are encouraged to register for
at least one internship for credit in conjunction with their cooperative education
participation. Co-op ed is available to
Augsburg students who have completed
their freshman year and are in good academic standing.
Community Service-Learning
Augsburg's Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with
opportunities to understand and respond
to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences. A key component
of community service-learning includes
reflection on and analysis of community
issues in order to promote personal and
educational growth and civic responsibility.
Augsburg students learn from the community in which they live by participating in
service activities combined with learning
components such as orientation sessions,
seminars, and class discussions. This
dynamic and interactive educational
approach employs reciprocal learning
between the students and the community.
Community service examples include
tutoring at schools and community centers, volunteering at homeless shelters,
building housing for low-income people,
or working with environmental groups.
Service-learning experiences can also
include service-based internships, and a
wide range of extracurricular volunteer
options.
The service-learning program also
works closely with the student-directed
Augsburg LINK, residence hall directors,
and campus ministry.
Career Services
Career Service is committed to assisting all students with their career planning.
-
Academic Information 65
This process is an important part of a student's development while attending college. To aid students in this process, Career
Services offers students the opportunity to
actively participate in career seminars,
career assessments, one-on-one counseling,
self-paced computer career planning modules, and use of the Alumni Resource
Network for informational interviews.
Services are available to all students,
but some programs are sponsored especially
for seniors. Seniors are encouraged to
attend the annual private college job fair
with recruiters representing business and
the nonprofit and government sectors, or
the education job fair.
ROCHESTER PROGRAM
Augsburg offers courses leading to a
B.S. in nursing and the Master of Arts in
Nursing in Rochester, Minnesota. Courses
meet weekday evenings, but otherwise follow the Weekend College format.
Introductory courses in other majors are
also offered. The Rochester Program began
in the fall of 1998 under the leadership of
Dr. Rick Thoni, who founded Augsburg's
Weekend College program. Students in the
Rochester Program are required to have
Internet and e-mail access, and make
extensive use of electronic communication
to support their course work.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Augsburg College offers four graduate
degree programs: the Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL), the Master of Social
Work (MSW), Master of Arts in Nursing,
and the Master of Science in Physician
Assistant Studies. Catalogs for each degree
program should be consulted for complete
information.
The Master of Arts in Leadership is
based on the subject matter and approaches
of the traditional liberal arts. This crossdisciplinary program directs its academic
content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues, and problems relevant to
organizational leaders. Augsburg's program
recognizes that today's leaders need a broad
spectrum of abilities to provide them with
a more comprehensive understanding of
their world. Designed for working adults,
the program operates on alternate
Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings.
The Master of Social Work (MSW) prepares students for entering advanced social
work practice. The program builds on the
liberal arts base of the College and supports the College's mission to nurture
future leaders in service to the world.
There are two concentrations: family
practice or program development, policy,
and administration. Students choose one of
the two concentrations for their program
focus. The curriculum emphasizes work
with diverse and oppressed groups, social
justice, leadership for social change and a
holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving
framework. Graduate social work classes
meet in four-hour blocks on Friday
evenings, Saturday mornings, and
Saturday afternoons.
66 Academic Information
The program development, policy, and
administration concentration has been
developed in response to the growing
demand for creative leadership and administration of policies and services that
respond to human need.
The Master of Arts in Nursing offers a
program designed to prepare Advanced
Practice Nurses for population-focused
practice in culturally diverse communities.
The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public health principles, theory-guided practice, and transcultural care.
Graduate nursing classes meet on an every
other week or one weekend a month basis
in Rochester and Minneapolis.
Canadian Program
The Canadian program was inaugurated in 1985 with endowment from the
Mildred Joel bequest for Canadian studies.
The program supports special events and
conferences as well as student internships
and faculty activity in Canadian studies.
The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness of
the inlnortance of Canadian/U.S. relations,
and provision of opportunities to learn
directly from Canadians through visits and
exchanges. For more information contact
Milda K. Hedblom, Canadian program
coordinator.
College of the Third Age
OTHER PROGRAMS
Continuing Education Program
The mission of the Augsburg College
continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning
opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally,
and spiritually in their homes, workplaces,
and communities. The program strives to
meet the needs of the community by offering credit and non-credit programs consistent with the mission and values of the
College. Adult students who wish to earn
traditional course credit should contact the
Weekend College Office.
The Office of Continuing Education is
currently developing a series of non-credit
programs to offer through the Center for
Professional Development. These seminars
will focus primarily on leadership, management, communications, and information
technology for businesses and nonprofit
organizations. Call the office for information on current course offerings.
Augsburg demonstrates its commitment
to lifelong learning through its College of
the Third Age Program. For more information, contact the Office of Continuing
Education.
REGISTRATION
A student must be registered for a
course to receive credit for it.
Full-time day students normally register for four course credits per semester and
one course during Interim. Students registered for three or more course credits in a
semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 course
credits, students must contact the registrar's office to petition the Committee on
Student Standing for permission.
Weekend College students typically
register for one or two course credits each
trimester. Students registered for at least
two course credits in one term are considered full time for that term.
-
Academic Information 67
Although a day student may register up
to five days after the semester begins, registration is encouraged at the regularly
scheduled time. Weekend College students
must register no later than the Monday following the first class weekend of the term.
Special fees are charged for late registration. Special fees are also charged for cancelling or adding courses or changing the
grading option after the first five days of a
semester.
Crossover Registration Policy
A joint class schedule is published each
spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities, listing courses and their locations at the five colleges for the following
academic year. As some courses are offered
only in alternate years, students should
also consult with departmental advisers
when planning their academic program.
It is expected that students will complete most of their degree requirements
through their "home" program; either day
or Weekend College. However, students
may register for one course per term in the
opposite program if space allows. Consult
the Enrollment and Financial Service
Center for information on designated times
and procedures for crossover registration.
Students taking courses in both the dav
and Weekend College programs that total
three course credits or more on any given
date will be charged comprehensive day
program tuition. A Weekend College student taking one day schedule course and
who has fewer than three total course credits will be charged the current part time
tuition for day school.
Interim, summer school, Weekend
College, and graduate program courses are
published in separate schedules.
Weekend College students may not
cross over to attend ACTC (Associated
Colleges of the Twin Cities) courses.
Specific information on registration and
help with registration on other campuses
are available from these offices:
Courses offered on weekday evenings
that are published in both the Weekend
College schedule and day program schedule are open to both groups of students
and are not subject to the crossover policy.

70 Academic Information
Class Confirmation (payment of fees)
All students must confirm their registration with a signature and final payment
arrangements prior to the start of classes.
Students who do not confirm their registration by the first day of classes (unless
special arrangements have been made) will
have their registration cancelled. They may
register and confirm during the drop/add
period, but special late fees are assessed
and added to their account.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon
courses for which they are registered
because this may result in a failing grade
on their official academic record.
Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from
the College must be completed in the registrar's office. A Leave of
AbsenceNithdrawal from the College
form may be obtained in the Academic
Advising Center or in the registrar's office.
Withdrawal from College cannot occur
during final examination week unless a
petition is approved by the Committee on
Student Standing. Withdrawal from
College and any consequential adjustments
in accounts are effective as of the date the
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 Leave
of AbsenceNithdrawal from the College
form must be picked up in the Academic
Advising Center or the registrar's office.
It must be signed by advising center staff
or an authorized representative. The completed form must be submitted to the
registrar's office.
A leave of absence may be granted for
one term or one academic year. If an
extension is needed, an updated leave of
absence form must be submitted to the
registrar's office prior to the expiration of
the previous leave of absence period, or an
application for re-admission will be
required.
Students are responsible for keeping
the registrar's office informed of their mailing addresses. All deadlines for financial
aid and housing must be observed by the
returning student. A leave of absence does
not defer payment of loans or extend
incomplete course deadlines.
Former Students
Former Augsburg students, re-admitted
to complete a degree after being away from
the College for at least one calendar year,
have a choice between using the catalog in
effect when they first enrolled, if possible,
or using the catalog in effect at the point of
re-admission. Some departments will not
accept coursework taken more than a specified number of years ago. Students must
meet all of the requirements in effect under
the catalog they choose. Choosing to complete under the current catalog will require
re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine applicability to current academic requirements.

H SKILLS COMPONENT
Entry Level Skills Requirements
The entry level skills tests are inventory
assessments in:
Writing
Mathematics
Critical thinking
Placement in writing courses, math
courses, and critical thinking courses is
determined by the assessments.
Freshmen (all students entering
Augsburg with fewer than seven college credit courses) and sophomore
transfer students with fewer than 14
courses:
Take entry-level skills assessments
and satisfy requirements.
If skill levels are deficient, students
will be enrolled in the appropriate course
or advised on preparation for retaking the
math placement assessment. Students may
retake the Math Placement Assessment
once during their first term of enrollment.
Students are required to take the assessments before registering for the second
term and to have demonstrated removal of
deficiencies by the end of their first year at
Augsburg.
Effective Writing or its equivalent is
required. Students who do not satisfy the
entry level skill in writing will be required
to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing
before ENG 111 Effective Writing.
Freshmen should complete the writing
requirement before the beginning of their
sophomore year.
-
Academic Information 7:
Students who have college credit for a
critical thinking or logic course are exempt
from the critical thinking inventory.
Freshman and sophomore transfer
students will be required to satisfy all of
the Graduation Skill course requirements.
Advanced Transfer Students
Transfer students who enter with 14
credits or more are exempt from critical
thinking assessments.
Those who have not passed the
equivalent of ENG 111Effective Writing
course must take the entry level test in
writing. Augsburg's entry level test in writing will determine placement in an appropriate writing course.
Advanced transfer students are
required to satisfy all the Graduation Skill
course requirements, except only one of
the writing courses is required.
Mathematics Requirement
Students must achieve Math Placement
Group (MPG) 3 or higher prior to graduation. In addition, many courses require
MPG 2, 3, or 4 as prerequisite and so students are encouraged to advance their
MPG as soon as possible. All students are
required to have their MPG determined. In
some cases, students who have transferred
in a mathematics course taken at another
college may have their MPG determined by
the registrar's office. All other students
must take the Augsburg Math Placement
Exam, which is administered by the
Academic Advising Center. The exam is
given during college registration sessions
and at other announced times during the
year. Practice questions and other information are available from the Academic
Advising Center.
Students in MPG 1 may take MAT 103
to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2
may take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3.
Students in MPG 3 may take MAT 114 to
advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course
changes a student's MPG.
Students are also permitted to retake
the Math Placement Exam during their
first term of enrollment at Augsburg
College. Review help is available from the
Academic Enrichment Center.
Graduation Level Skills
General education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in
college. Skills related to writing, critical
thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning are deliberate components of certain courses. Completion of the requisite

majors or in intercollegiate athletics may
test out of one lifetime sport. Students may
demonstrate proficiency in one of a selected list of lifetime sports. There is a fee to
take the lifetime sport proficiency test.
Students must satisfy the second lifetime
sport requirement by enrolling in a lifetime
sport course.
Lifetime sports are non-credit courses,
are not counted as meeting Interim course
requirements, and are not included in the
33-course requirement.
GENERAL EDUCATION
The General Education program consists of the first year Augsburg Seminar for
day freshmen, the liberal arts perspectives
and the graduation skills. A primary objective is to develop lifelong learning in the
context of the liberal arts and the mission
of the college.
The goal of the Liberal Arts
Perspectives is to help students think systematically about what it means to be a
human. Perspectives courses should:
Extend knowledge in liberal arts,
especially outside of one's major disciplinary field. This is done by 1) reflecting on
the importance and meaning of spirituality
in their lives and the distinctiveness of
Augsburg as a college of the Lutheran
Church in the city; 2) reflecting on diversity through intercultural awareness; 3)
reflecting on areas associated with liberal
arts, including aesthetics, human identity,
the social world, natural world and westem heritage.
Demonstrate connections between
liberal arts and the major field of study.
Develop an appreciation of the role of
service to society.
The General Education program should
also teach students the skills expected of a
college graduate in writing, critical thinking, speaking and quantitative reasoning.
LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES
The general education Liberal Arts
Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for beginning to understand what it means to be a human. The
goals of the perspectives are achieved
through a variety of courses that have been
approved as meeting the criteria established for each perspective.
Students will choose from a list of
courses meeting the Liberal Arts
Perspectives, available from the registrar's
office. These choices are controlled by the
following policies:
1. A student will choose a minimum of
one course from each required perspective
category.
2. No single course can fulfill the
requirements in two or more categories.
3. No student will be permitted to
count more than three courses from the
same department in meeting perspective
requirements.
4. No student may count more than
one course from the same department in
meeting the requirements of any single
perspective emphasis area except:
Up to three courses in religion may
be used to meet the perspective, The
Character and Mission of Augsburg
College: The Christian Faith.
Up to two courses in a year-long
sequence of approved natural science
courses may be used to meet the perspective, The Natural World.
-
Academic Information 7:
Up to two courses of the same mode m language may be used to meet part of
the perspective, Intercultural Awareness.
THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE
REQUIREMENTS
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith
This perspective focuses on Augsburg
as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. As a college of the
Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its
educational program the doctrines of the
Christian faith as revealed in scripture and
the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran
Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian
Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical
values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian
faith as part of becoming educated.
Perspective: The Character and Mission
of Augsburg College: The City
This perspective focuses on the
College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this perspective, students should gain an understanding of and
critically reflect upon the city with its
diverse populations, cultural, govemmental and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students should experience the community
and should explore opportunities for service in the community.
This requirement must be covered
either by specific courses, by internship
and education experiences, or by designated
or college-approved non-credit experiences
(such as volunteer service or college programs). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by a GST 209
seminar related to the Perspective.
The City (C)
Christian Faith (CF 1, 2, and 3)
Area 1is biblical studies, Area 2 covers
Christian theology, and Area 3 includes the
study of values or religions outside the
Christian faith. Three course credits are
required to meet this perspective except for
the following:
Transfer students entering with 14-23
course credits will be required to take two
courses in the Christian Faith Perspective
while registered at Augsburg.
Transfer students entering with 24 or
more course credits will be required to take
one course in the Christian Faith
Perspective while registered at Augsburg.
One course credit or experience is
required to meet this Perspective.
Perspective: Western Heritage
This perspective is intended to help
students critically examine themes (found,
for example, in literature, philosophy, and
the arts) and events that have historically
shaped Western civilization. Attention
should be paid to the contributions of and
to critiques of Western thought by women
and ethnic minorities.
-
'6 Academic Information
Western Heritage @lH 1 and 2 )
Two course credits from different
departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet
this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits.
Perspective: Human Identity
This Perspective is intended to help
students view themselves as people with
unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiences. and behaviors.
Human ldentity (HI)
One course credit is required to meet
this perspective.
Perspective: Aesthetics
Aesthetic creations convey fundamental
insights and values, express beauty, and
enhance life. This perspective focuses on
aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by
oneself and others.
Aesthetics (A)
One course credit is required to meet
this perspective.
Perspective: The Social World
This perspective is intended to help
students learn to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems:
to understand how and why such systems
develop, to see the connections among
these systems, and to use this knowledge
as a participant in society.
Social World (SW 1 and 2 )
One course must focus on current theories and methods of a social science. Two
course credits from different departments
are required to meet this perspective. One
course is required to meet this perspective
for transfer students entering with 14 or
more course credits.
Perspective: Intercultural Awareness
This perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by
expanding students' awareness of other
cultures. One course is required in which
students critically reflect upon ways their
own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should
become better able to communicate with
persons of other cultural backgrounds, partially by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstream
North American cultures.
In addition, students are to gain entry
into another culture by learning to speak
and read a language other than their
native language. For this part of the
perspective, students are required to have
demonstrated proficiency in a modem
language, or American Sign Language
for hearing students.
The modem language requirement will
be determined by assessing previous experience and subsequent placement.
Intercultural Awareness (IA 1 )
The study of a specific, non-Western
culture and how that culture has shaped
the world. One course credit is required to
meet this part of the Intercultural
Awareness Perspective.
-
Academic Information 7
Intercultural Awareness (IA 2 and 3)
Perspective: The Natural World
Study of a modem language other than
the native tongue. For a language previously studied, consult the table below for the
requirement. For a language not previously
studied, successful completion of 111, 112
is required. Students with previous language study should contact the modem
languages department if there are questions. There is a seven-year time limit on
courses presented for transfer and automatic
waiver. Students whose native language is
not English should contact the Academic
Advising Center.
This perspective is intended to help
students understand themselves in relation
to the physical world. Their active role as
observers, explorers, and moral agents will
be emphasized. Sufficient technical training in scientific knowledge, concepts, and
methods will be provided to equip students
for critical and intelligent participation in
public debates on technical issues.

EVALUATION AND GRADING I
t A r L A N H I I U N Ut bKALJtS
Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests,
written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation.
Most courses are offered with grading
option-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.
PassINo Credit
Students who choose the P/N option
are cautioned:
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses, or rank each
as a C.
-
3 Academic Information
P-graded courses do not count
toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for
graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this
requirement.
See P/N limitations under Graduation
Requirements, page 71.
Certain courses have restrictions and
are offered on one grading system only
(e.g., lifetime sports are graded only P/N).
In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading
option. Any changes in choice of grading
system must be made according to dates
published each term. A fee is charged for
any changes after the first five days of
classes. All changes in grading option that
are made after initial registration require the
signature of an adviser or the instructor.
Numeric Grades
Numeric grades are used with these
definitions:
4.0
Achieves highest standards of
excellence
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course
standards

Internships, independent studies, and
directed studies may sometimes last longer
than one term. When this is the case, they
must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of
the first term of registration. A grade of X
(extension) is given by the instructor to
indicate that the study is extended. It is
expected that students given X extensions
will continue to communicate with their
instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A
final grade will be issued at the end of the
term in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year).
An instructor reserves the discretion of not
giving an X where satisfactory progress is
not demonstrated. If the course is not
complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Performance below basic course
standards
Unacceptable performance (no
credit for the course)
A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5,
1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be
repeated for credit. Courses in which higher
0.5
0.0
An incomplete grade (I) may be given
only in the case of extreme emergency. To
receive an incomplete grade, a student
must receive permission from the course
instructor, stating the reasons for the
request, the work required to complete the
course, the plan and date for completing
the work with comments from the instructor; and must file the form with the registrar's office. If permission is granted, the
necessary work must be completed in
enough time to allow evaluation of the
work by the instructor and filing of a grade
before the final day of the following semester. If the work is not completed by that
date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0.
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record.

grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit and a grade, but may be
audited. All courses taken each term and
grades earned, including W and N, will be
recorded on the academic record. Only the
credits and grades earned the second time,
for legitimately repeated courses, are
counted toward graduation and in the
grade point average.
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses
without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students may audit a course without charge.
The charge for part-time and Weekend
College students is listed under Weekend
College Costs in the Financing Your
Education section on page 27. The signature of the instructor is required to register
an audit. 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 requirements. If expectations
have been met, the course will be listed on
the transcript as having been audited. If
expectations have not been met, the course
will be listed with a grade of W.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based
on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It
does not include credit and grade points for
work transferred from other colleges.
Courses taken on the P/N grading option
are recorded, but not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by
number of courses taken."

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 comprise 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, 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.
-
0 Academic Information
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:
Advanced Placement Program Test
(AP)-The Advanced Placement program
may allow students who have scores of 3,
4, or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement
Test to receive college credit for selected
courses. A score of 4 or 5 is required on
the AP Language and Composition examination for credit for ENG 111 Effective
Writing. Additional credit or placement is
at the discretion of the department.
Inquiries should be addressed to the registrar's office.
The College Level Examination
Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests that 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
registrar's office and the Academic
Advising Center.
Departmental Comprehensive
Exams-These are available for students
to use in obtaining credit for previous
learning if the following conditions
are met:
There is a departmental instrument
available for the subject area in question.
There is a faculty member designated
by the department to administer the exam.
The registrar approves the student's
request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis
only, and there is a charge per exam of
$400 for a full course credit.
The Portfolio Assessment
Program-This is a credit assessment
alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning
portfolio submitted by the student. The
faculty team is composed of two faculty
members from fields of study directly related
to the student's previous learning. Students
who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous
learning for credit assessment should consult the registrar's office. In completing the
evaluation of a student's previous learning,
the faculty team applies the following criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a
cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed
andlor systematic study of content material
found within liberal arts coursework.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to the student's educational goals.
The learning and skills involved are
current and could be used at the present
time.
Students may apply for the credit
assessment process after completing at
least four courses/credits of academic work
at Augsburg College with a cumulative
Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly
recommended that the process not be used
-
Academic Information 81
when four or fewer courses remain for
graduation. There is a non-refundable
application deposit of $200 to initiate the
credit assessment process for each course
presented in a portfolio. An additional
$200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit is available on a P/N credit
basis only.
Transcript credit will be granted on the
basis of semester credits, and the total
number of credits granted will be divided
by four to determine the number of course
credits applied to graduation. These credits
will be recorded with the course number of
APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward
the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements,
upper division requirements, and academic
majors and minors may be subsequently
addressed by the departments involved in
response to a formal request by the student.
Maximum Credit Accepted for
Previous Learning-While Augsburg
College recognizes the validity of learning
that takes place outside the traditional
classroom, this learning must be placed in
the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore,
Augsburg places a maximum of eight
courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is
obtained through previous experiential
learning. In compiling the eight courses of
credit for previous experiential learning, the
student may use any combination of the
four assessment processes available in the
APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams,
departmental comprehensive exams, and
credit granted through portfolio assessment.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Students who declare a language other
than English to be their primary language
or who are citizens of another country
must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental
Writing, or ENG 111 Effective Writing will
be determined by their scores on the
Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption
from ESL) and by a writing sample.
Near the end of each term of the
English as a Second Language course, an
objective test will be administered to all
students in the class. The score on this test
and the grade earned in the class will
determine whether additional ESL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to
100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will
fulfill the student's ESL requirement.
All students whose native language is
not English must stay enrolled in ENG
217/218 until such time that they pass the
ESL placement test at 85 percent or higher.
The ESL course can be counted only twice
in the total number of courses required for
graduation.
Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language requirement for graduation.
82 Academic Information
ACADEMIC PROGRESS,
PROBATION, AND DISMISSAL
The College requires that all students
maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point
average (GPA).
It should be noted that a minimum GPA
of 2.0 is required for graduation, with certain
majors requiring a higher minimum GPA.
Students whose overall academic
achievement falls below a 2.0 GPA will
either be placed on scholastic probation at
the end of the term or will be continued on
probation or will be dismissed from the
College. In addition, a freshman who
receives two zero grades or a sophomore,
junior, or senior who receives three zero
grades will be considered for probation or
dismissal. However, dismissal from the
College is not automatic. Each case is
reviewed by the Committee on Student
Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major
consideration in deciding whether or not to
dismiss a student. Students who have a
poor academic record may be strongly
advised to withdraw before the end of a
term. Those on probation who voluntarily
withdraw from the College, as well as those
who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll.
Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0.
Students placed on probation as freshmen
for having earned two zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have
not earned additional zero grades, and if
their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. Students
placed on probation as sophomores for
having earned three zero grades may be
removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 2.0.
The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the
guidelines stated above. Once a student is
dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on
Student Standing.
Student class years are based on the
number of courses taken:
Freshman-fewer
Sophomore-fewer
Junior-fewer
than seven courses
than 16 courses
than 24 courses
Senior -24 or more courses
Dean's List
The Dean's List, compiled after each
semester, lists students whose grade point
average for a semester is 3.5 or better.
Students must be full-time students (a
minimum equivalent of three full course
credits for a weekday schedule student or
two equivalent full course credits for a
Weekend College student), graded on the
traditional grading system, with no incomplete~in courses offered for credit. Courses
taken outside of a program's calendar (e.g.,
crossover courses taken in a Weekend
College trimester term by a day student or
in a semester term by a weekend student)
are not calculated when determining the
Dean's List. If permission is given by the
student, an announcement is sent to the
hometown newspaper of each student on
the Dean's List.
Graduation with Distinction
Augsburg recognizes those students
who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement as graduates of distinction. This designation replaces all previous
college honors and applies to all students
who complete degree requirements after
Jan. 1,2000. Students achieving
Graduation with Distinction will have an
overall GPA of 3.5 and will have completed
-
Academic Information 83
an outstanding project as determined by
the student's major department. Students
wishing to be considered for Graduation
with Distinction should consult with their
major department no later than the fall
semester of their junior year.
Qualification for Commencement
Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the
month of May. Undergraduate students
who will not have met degree requirements
by the end of the spring term may qualify
to participate in commencement if: (1) no
more than three course creditshequirements will remain in their program at the
end of the spring term, and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the
summer or fall terms following participation in commencement. Candidates for
graduation who will complete summer or
fall terms will be noted as such in the commencement program.
Veterans of Military Service
Augsburg is approved by the state
approving agency for Veterans Education.
Veterans should consult with the
Enrollment and Financial Services Center
about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans Administration.
Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration
regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received.
FOUR-YEAR ASSURANCE
PROGRAM
This program applies to students who
enter the day school schedule as full-time
freshmen in the fall of 1996 and thereafter.
New freshmen are assured that they will be
able to graduate in four years--if they
maintain continuous full-time enrollment
for four years, maintain a 2.0 GPA, and follow the Four-Year Assurance Program
guidelines-or they will receive the
remaining required courses free of additional tuition. A few majors are excluded
from this program. Students must complete a formal Four-Year Assurance Degree
Plan with the College before the end of
their sophomore year (16 course credits
must be earned) in order to qualify.
Contact the Academic Advising Center for
details.

disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records,
A,
a liberal arts institution, Augsburg
College believes that knowledge and truth
are interrelated and are integrated into a
whole. The tradition of the academic
world, however, divides this unified truth
into more manageable parts: the academic
disciplines. The knowledge of individual
disciplines is subdivided into courses that
make it more accessible to students. These
courses can be arranged in various ways to
construct majors, to create the substance
of a broad general education, and to give
students the opportunity to study areas of
particular individual interest.
Descriptions of courses are arranged by
departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject
matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more
detailed explanation of content, approach,
requirements, and evaluations for a
particular course can be obtained from
the instructor.
Department entries also contain a
narrative discussion of the educational
philosophy of each department, its goals,
and its place in the College's program. A
listing of requirements for individual
majors and minors follows the narrative.
Class Schedule
Courses listed are subject to change. In
general, classes are offered fall andfor
spring terms unless otherwise indicated.
The Schedule of Classes published each
spring by the Associated Colleges of the
Twin Cities (ACTC) lists offerings and
locations for fall and spring terms.
Weekend College classes are published
each spring in a separate booklet and
online.
Since some courses are offered alternate
years, it is important that the student
review major requirements and course
offerings with an adviser to ensure that all
requirements can be met.
Descriptions and schedules for Interim,
Summer Session, the Master of Arts in
Leadership, the Master of Social Work, the
Master of Arts in Nursing, and the Master
of Arts in Physician Assistant studies
courses are published in separate catalogs.
Credits
A full course is offered for one course
credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are
offered in the Division of Professional
Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one
course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six
quarter hours. Most courses meet for three
60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required
for laboratory work.
Numbering
Courses numbered below 300 are lower
division courses. Courses numbered 300
and above are classified as upper division.
In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s
for juniors, and 400s for seniors.
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before
enrolling in a higher level course are listed
in the course description as prerequisites.
A student may enroll in a course when a
prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there
is prior approval by the professor teaching
the course.

A
rt is important as a field of study
for our time. Our survival as a culture may
very well depend on whether we are able
to create order and beauty in the design
and function of communities. Realizing
this, we have made design and sensitivity
to all aspects of visual experience central
to the art program at Augsburg.
Giving and receiving visual messages is
so much a part of everyday life that it is
often taken for granted. At the same time,
however, the interchange of visual ideas is
frequently misunderstood. The task of the
artist, art teacher, and art historian is to
celebrate visual experience through a variety of media and art examples. In short,
the visual arts teach us how to see.
Because of the College's commitment to
the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at
Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from
all disciplines. Art as a human activity does
involve manual skill, although to become
broadly significant it should interact with
the content available in other fields, such
as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science.
A liberal arts college like Augsburg is
an ideal setting for the study of art because
it provides a constant possibility for the
interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further
enhanced by associations with a significant
number of art galleries and museums in
the Twin Cities area.

T
he Augsburg Experience: Arriving
at Augsburg ...
The initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting
period of change. The faculty and staff
wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students
and to help them become part of this academic community Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation
weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, students are introduced to the character of the
College, its heritage as an urban, liberal
arts college of the Church, the process of
learning in a community where ideas are
valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being students.
Augsburg Seminar
At registration, all first-year students in
the day program enroll in a selected content course, such as Effective Writing and a
parallel Augsburg Seminar. These 'linked'
courses integrate disciplinary content with
AUC 101
various learning strategies and communitybuilding opportunities beneficial to all
beginning students.
The content course usually meets three
hours per week for the entire semester and
is valued at 1.0 course credit, and the
Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for 8
weeks for .25 course credit. The Augsburg
Seminar offers the opportunity for further
discussion of topics from the paired content course, along with presentations on
campus life, academic resources and study
skills, and a hands-on introduction to the
Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. While the
content course is graded on a traditional
point basis, the Augsburg Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (P/N). However, performance in the course is linked to performance in the seminar.
Students must successfully complete
the entire 8-week Augsburg Seminar in
order to fulfill the requirement, even if
they drop the linked content course.
Permission to complete the seminar after
withdrawal from the content course is at
the discretion of the instructor.
Augsburg Seminar (.25 course)

)logy is the study of life, and it is
natural that we, as contemplative living
creatures, seek a deeper understanding of
the living world that envelops us. This
search has led to the realization that the
Earth is filled with an enormous variety of
living organisms. Since humans are a part
of the biological world, an understanding
of the basic biological processes common
to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for
wise decisions.

Nine courses including:
B10 113 Introductory Organismal Biology
B10 114 Introductory Genetics,
Evolution, and Ecology
B10 215 Introductory Cellular Biology
In recent decades great strides have
been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those at the
cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels.
Biological research has also provided some
extremely important benefits to humans,
including advances in medicine, agriculture, and food science.
and at least one from each of the five
following groups:
An understanding of biological systems
depends, in part, on the principles of
physics and chemistry; thus a firm background in the physical sciences is also
important in the study of biology.

For many, an undergraduate major in
biology serves as a basis for further study.
Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to
careers in college or university teaching,
basic and applied research, and public
health. Many have entered professional
programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have
gone directly into secondary education,
biomedical industries, laboratory research,
natural resources, and environmental education.

T
he major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide
variety of accounting-related positions.
This major has three tracks: general
accounting, professional accounting, and
managerial accounting. The general
accounting specialization is adequate for a
wide variety of positions. The professional
accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial
accounting. The public accounting specialization is recommended for positions with
CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions
with large or rapidly-growing companies.
The two professional specializations
relate to two professional designations: the
CPA and the CMA. A certified public
accountant (CPA) focuses on external
reporting; a certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting.
The public accounting specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CPA exam; the managerial specialization
includes the materials emphasized on the
CMA exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in
addition to passing the national exam.
Under the rules of the Minnesota State
Board of Accountancy, accounting majors
in the public accounting specialization are
qualified to sit for the CPA examination
after graduation.

c
hemistry is the science of the
changes in matter, examining those
changes, and working toward an understanding of them. Correlating the results of
physics and opening the vistas of molecular biology, chemistry has been described
as the central science because matter
includes the entire physical world such as
the things we use, the food we eat, and
even ourselves.
Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their
work, including potential problems as well
as benefits.
Chemists as people must be broadly
educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as
offered in the general education cumculum is imperative if a chemist is to be both
truly human and truly scientific.
The department is on the list of
approved schools of the American
Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideas, the
Department of Chemistry has established
the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists:
*To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS chemistry
major to compete successfully with their
peers of similar ability in graduate school
or research positions.
*To provide programs of study for professional goals in addition to the traditional positions as chemists.
*To provide an atmosphere of learning
so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may
change after graduation, and be able to
move into new areas as opportunities arise.
*To encourage students to take a broad
view of their education and to integrate
outside study areas with the sciences.
*To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example
of the methodology of the natural sciences
in examining the world around us. The
presentation of major concepts underlying
the changes in matter, the opportunity to
examine change in the physical world, and
the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will
enhance the ability of non-science persons
to make better value judgments concerning
science questions in their own endeavors.

A
major in East Asian studies is
offered through Augsburg and the other
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities
(ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a
result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg
College, Hamline University, Macalester
College, The College of St. Catherine, and
the University of St. Thomas. The program
pools the resources and expertise within
the five institutions. This major enables
students to acquire a broad knowledge of
Japan, China, and other East Asian
nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country.
Career opportunities for those who
attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian
studies include government service, international business, journalism, language
instruction, Asian arts, and intercultural
communication. The major provides a
foundation for graduate work in various
fields such as anthropology, economics,
history, international relations, business,
law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for
those interested in education and work
with social and recreational agencies.
East Asian Studies Faculty
Martha Johnson, Director
DECREE AND MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
Major in East Asian Studies
Nine courses are required for the major.
Courses in the major must be approved by
the campus adviser and are distributed as
follows: four courses in an East Asian Ianguage; four additional courses, two of which
must be upper division (strongly recommended that one of these be a history
course on China or Japan); and an East
Asian studies seminar. A term of study
abroad and the completion of a minor in
another discipline are strongly recommended.
Study abroad opportunities for the
semester or a year are available in Hong
Kong, Japan, Korea, and the People's
Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the country of specialization.
Language Courses
Hamline University offers elementary
and intermediate courses in Chinese.
Macalester College and the University of
St. Thomas offer elementary and intermediate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University
of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese
languages (without extra tuition charges);
see campus adviser. Non-majors may also
take the Chinese and Japanese language
courses.
East Asian Studies 12:
Minor in East Asian Studies
Five courses, no more than two of
which may be in the language. A minor in
East Asian studies provides exposure to an
area of East Asia that would complement
other disciplines.
Note: Interim courses or new courses
related to the East Asian Studies Program
may be substituted when appropriate,
with the consent of the campus adviser.
Faculty advising is recommended at all
stages of the major to plan a coherent and
effective program.
Each campus has a member on the
ACTC East Asian studies committee who
can assist students. The current advisers
are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson, (612)
330-1715; Hamline-Richard Kagan, (651)
641-2433; Macalester-Yue-him Tam,
(651) 696-6262; St. Catherine-Helen

T
he Department of Economics offers a
program that stresses a strong theoretical
background, quantitative analysis, and an
emphasis on national and international
issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or
to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts
emphasis within the major.
The department offers five majors. The
economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business
world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into
the rapidly growing computer science field.
The combined economicshusiness administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields.
Finally, the teaching major in political sciencdeconomics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid
background for teaching economics.
The study of economics provides a firm
foundation for confronting change because
it presents a disciplined way to analyze and
make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership
and leads to a great diversity of career
opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international
service. Pre-law and potential Master of
Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as
a major or a minor.
Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such
as business administration, international
relations, mathematics, management infor-
mation systems, political science, history,
and area study programs. Students who are
interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in
business are encouraged to either major or
minor in mathematics. These students
should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course
suggestions.
Internships are recommended. Students
must consult with the department chair
and the internship office before registering
for academic credit.

T
he Department of Education maintains liberal arts-based teacher education
programs that are accredited by the
Minnesota Board of Teaching and National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE). These programs lead
to recommendations for licensure by the
State of Minnesota for elementary (grades
K-8), a variety of secondary subject areas
(grades 5-12), and K-12 licenses in art,
health, physical education, and music.
Degree and/or licensure programs are
available in both weekday and weekend
formats. Weekend College degree and
licensure programs are limited to elementary, communication artsAiterature, and
social studies. Additional teaching majors
are available through the weekday program
and open to weekday and weekend students who can take courses on a weekday
schedule. All prerequisite, elementary core,
and professional education courses except
critical issues seminar and student teaching are available on a weekend or weekday
late afternoonlevening schedule. Fieldwork
for the seminar and for student teaching
must be completed during regular weekday
hours. All students must have some time
available each term for field experiences.
Students in all degree and/or licensure
programs must apply for acceptance into
the education department prior to beginning 300-400 level courses. State law
requires completion of the PPST-PRAXIS
exam prior to beginning 300-400 level
courses. Criteria for acceptance into the
education department are available in the
department. Students complete a semester
of full-time student teaching at the conclusion of their degree and/or licensure programs.
The education department offers nonlicensure majors in elementary education
and education studies. Contact the department for details. The department also
offers a special education minor which is
described at the end of this section after
course listings.
All students are expected to obtain an
education department adviser at the outset
of coursework. All students are expected to
become knowledgeable of programs and
follow through with department policies.
Handbooks outlining programs and policies are available through the education
department.
Student Teaching Abroad
Selected education department students
may participate in an international student
teaching abroad program. Those interested
in further information should contact the
education department at least one year
prior to student teaching. Students who
teach abroad will do part of their student
teaching in the Twin Cities area under
direct Augsburg faculty supervision.
Note: Major changes in Minnesota teacher
licensure will be implemented in the fall of
2000 and beyond. All students who will
complete degrees and/or licensure programs after August 31, 2001 fall under the
new licensure rules and must complete the
program outlined in this catalog. Students
who entered the College under a previous
catalog and who will complete their licensure after August 3 1, 2001 must comply
with the new program. No one will be
licensed under programs described in previous catalogs after August 3 1, 2001.

A
ugsburg College has cooperative
arrangements with three universities to
allow students to 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. 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 Institute of Technology and
Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides
for two dual degree engineering programs:
Bachelor of ArtsIBachelor of
Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) enables students
to 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 Institute 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
Institute of Technology may be completed
during the second semester of the junior
year at Augsburg.
Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of
Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) 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 Institute of
Technology.
The curriculum is the same as the
B.A.B.E. cumculum 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.N.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 Institute of
Technology staff regarding courses that
should be taken during the senior year at
Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.M.E.
program are not guaranteed admission to
the Institute of Technology.
Washington University
(Three-Year Plan)
Michigan Technological University
(Dual-Degree Plan)
These two 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 will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they corn-
-
Engineering 13
plete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and
are recommended by the engineering
adviser 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

T
hose who study. English
believe that
an intense concern for words, ideas, and
images helps people understand who they
are and who they can become. Writing
helps all of us clarify and share our
thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate
the pains and joys of human existence.
Through the study of English we see life's
complexity, experience life as others do,
and better understand the world in which
we live and work.
English relates closely to other majors
With the other arts, English is concerned
with the pleasure that comes from artistic
creation and with the contemplation of
works of art. With psychology and sociology,
English is concerned with individual and
group behavior. With philosophy, English
is interested in ideas and in the relation
between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering
order and determining structures. With
speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and
humanities, English studies the way people
have acted and thought at different times
and in various cultures.
The Augsburg Department of English
integrates its program with the cultural
opportunities of this vital urban area.
Augsburg students can walk to assigned or
recommended plays, films, and readings
available near the campus. English majors
have the opportunity to use and refine
their skills through working in internships
on and off campus, tutoring English as a
Second Language (ESL) students, tutoring
in the writing lab, or participating in the
Cooperative Education Program.
Students with an Augsburg English
major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism,
government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

H
istory is to society what memory is
to an individual; it brings to a civilization
an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed
it this way: "No community can survive
and no institution can function without
constant reference to past experience. We
are ruled by precedents fully as much as by
laws, which is to say that we are ruled by
the collective memory of the past. It is the
memory of common experiences that
makes scattered individuals into a community."
The study of history enables us to deal
more knowledgeably with continuity and
change in society. The construction of an
informed sense of our past is a fundamental
ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the
future. History majors are prepared to be
active and contributing members of their
society The study of history, which has
long held a major role in the liberal arts,
is an entry to elementary and secondary
education, graduate study in several fields,
and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing
of information.

nternational study at Augsburg aims to
increase intercultural competency and
reflects the College's strong commitment to
internationalism. Programs administered
by the Center for Global Education, by
International Partners, and by the Higher
Education Consortium for Urban Affairs
(HECUA) offer excellent opportunities for
rigorous academic work, greater understanding of cross-cultural issues, and
exploration of the benefits of global
citizenship.
Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an
international dimension to any academic
program. Students normally receive the
same number of course credits abroad as
they would if studying on campus. Courses
abroad can fulfill major, distributionlgenera1 education, and graduation requirements
when approved by the
appropriate program directors and
faculty before departure.
Note: Only the fourth or higher term of
language counts toward the major; prerequisite courses or competencies cannot be
credited toward the 13 required courses.
Students should confer with the program
director about regional and disciplinary
concentrations possible within the major;
for example, a concentration in a geographic area or one of the major disciplines
in the program.
Students in good academic standing (a
minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may
apply for permission to study off campus
through the Center for Global Education
or through International Partners. In addition to semester and year-long programs,
Interim and summer abroad courses also
provide a number of educational opportunities. Students interested in these or other
external off-campus study experiences
should contact the Center for Global
Education. Applications are due March 1
for the fall term or academic year, and
September 30 for the spring term. The cost
for many programs is comparable to full
room, board, and tuition for on-campus
study, plus airfare. Financial aid is granted
on the same basis as on-campus study
THE CENTER FOR GLOBAL
EDUCATION
The mission of the Center for Global
Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of
local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading
to a more just and sustainable world.
66 International Studies
The center's study programs are conducted in Mexico, Central America, and
Namibia. They integrate rigorous academic
work with real-life experiences. Students
learn not only from textbooks but live in
the midst of the society they are studying,
encountering the people and culture inside
and outside the walls of a classroom. All
programs include family stays, regional
travel, community-based living, and opportunities for volunteer work and internships.
International study programs administered by the Center for Global Education
and approved by Augsburg are listed below.
For information on these programs, contact
the academic programs abroad office.
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS
The International Partners Program
combines rigorous academic work with
daily immersion in another culture. It
offers students an opportunity to study
abroad with outstanding faculty and to
gain practical experience overseas in their
major fields.
The program is founded on reciprocal
agreements with selected institutions of
higher learning in Europe. Under these
agreements International Partner students
from abroad receive part of their academic
training at Augsburg, and qualified
Augsburg students are guaranteed admission to partner institutions, where courses
are pre-approved for credit toward graduation requirements at Augsburg.
Study abroad through Intemational
Partners emphasizes business, education,
and social work, but is not limited to these
fields. The study program may be for one
year, one semester, a one-month Interim,
or a summer session. Participation may be
on an individual basis or as part of a student group. For further information, contact the International Partners office.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION
CONSORTIUM FOR URBAN
AFFAIRS (HECUA)
Augsburg, in consortium with other
colleges and universities, offers programs
through HECUA in four different fullsemester programs in Norway, Guatemala,
and Ecuador. All programs emphasize the
impact of social change and cross-cultural
factors on the human community. HECUA
programs include intense language experience and field study. The cost is equivalent
to full tuition, roAm, and board for one
semester on campus, plus airfare.

- M O D E R N LANGUAGES
Modern Languages Faculty
The
Department Of
Languages
at Augsburg College contributes in many
ways to realizing the College's mission of
liberal arts educkon for service
in today's world. The department is committed to the view that education should
go beyond career preparation and that
familiarity with the language and culture of
another people is an essential step in the
development of a truly global perspective.
The modem languages department
offers language, literature, and culture
courses leading to majors in French,
German, Norwegian, and Spanish.
Introductory courses in Ojibwe and
American Sign Language are offered at
Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese,
Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg
students through the College's affiliation
with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities
colleges.
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation,
but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions.
Students anticipating careers in intemational business, social work, the diplomatic
corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or
minor in modem languages. In addition,
a minor in languages or linguistics is a
valuable research tool for those intending
to pursue graduate study in most academic
disciplines.

above 21 1, including two courses in culture, two courses in language, two courses
in literature and three electives (from any
of the three areas above). At least seven of
these courses must be taught in the target
language of the major and at least four of
them must be taken on the Augsburg campus.
Minor
The minor consists of four courses
above 2 11,including one each in language,
literature, and culture. At least three of
these courses must be taught in the target
language, and at least two of them must be
taken on the Augsburg campus.
Graduation with Distinction
Majors seeking graduation with distinction must apply in the junior year.
Requirements: 3.5 GPA in the major, 3.5
GPA overall, and honors thesis.
Prerequisite
A prerequiste must be completed with a

its on non-Augsburg courses. Courses
accepted for transfer must have been taken
within the past seven years.
Study Abroad
A semester of study abroad is required
for majors and some study abroad is
strongly recommended for minors. An
advanced-level internship in the major language (399) or an interdisciplinary internship (INS 199), linking language skills
with community service and career exploration, is strongly encouraged.
Teaching Licensure
Teacher candidates in French, German,
and Spanish must consult with the
Department of Education for specific information and enrollment in the program as
well as for information on special methods
courses. All transfer teacher candidates,
including those who have completed a college language major elsewhere, must take
at least two courses in language, literature,
or culture at Augsburg. A minimum grade
of 3.0 in Conversation and Composition
(311) is a departmental requirement for
teaching majors. Licensure requires successful completion of the Competency
Exam prior to student teaching. See
requirements for State of Minnesota
Licensure for Teaching in Secondary
Schools under Department of Education.
After spring term 2001, Augsburg

he Augsburg
of Nursing
- Department
is designed exclusively for registered nurses
who want to increase their opportunities in
the health care field.
The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called
on to function in a variety of settings that
differ from those in the past. Today nurses
work in hospitals, clinics, corporations,
government agencies, schools, and community organizations, or in their own practices. Wherever they practice, nurses provide comprehensive health care through
the entire life span for people of diverse
cultures and socioeconomic levels.
The bachelor's degree equips nurses
with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral, and nursing sciences. The nursing program at
Augsburg also provides educational opportunities to increase their skills in critical
thinking, clinical investigation, and decision-making that prepares them to handle
challenging new positions in today's health
care field.
Augsburg's nursing program, leading to
a bachelor of science degree with a major
in nursing, is accredited by the National
League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for public health
nurse registration in Minnesota. With two
additional courses, they are eligible to
apply for school nurse certification.

P
hilosophy is in an important sense
the most fundamental of the disciplines.
All of the sciences and most other disciplines have their source in it, and it is concerned with asking and answering the
"big" questions that are the most basic. For
example, Is there a God? Is there life after
death? Are there absolute moral standards?
What kind of life is the best? What is
knowledge and what are its sources?
Students learn to ask and answer these
and other similar questions for themselves
through the development and use of critical reasoning with the help of great
philosophers from the past and present.
The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy,
while others use the major to prepare for
other professional studies such as law,
medicine, or the Christian ministry.

A 400-level course (other than PHI 499)
Four elective courses in philosophy
Five courses must be upper division.
Major in Computational Philosophy
In addition to a major and minor in
philosophy, the philosophy department
also offers a cross-disciplinary major in
conjunction with the computer science
department emphasizing areas of interest
in which philosophy and computer science
overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the
major is to augment the technical skills of
a computer scientist with the creativity and
liberal arts perspective of a philosopher.
The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an
excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy See course listing
on page 118.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the philosophy honors
program is 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 that involves research above the

T
he Augsburg
Assistant
- Physician
Program is designed for students interested
m careers as health care providers.
The physician assistant concept originated during the mid-1960s. Physicians
and educators recognized that there was a
shortage and uneven distribution of primary
care physicians. To combat these problems,
the Physician Assistant Program was developed. All PAs must, by law or regulation,
have a supervising physician. An important
element of the physician assistant education is the emphasis on patient education.
The Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is a 27-month program of study
for students with at least 64 semester
hours of college credit. A new class of 28
students begins each May. Students who
intend to enter the Physician Assistant
Program must apply by December of the
previous year. The program is very competitive and not all students who apply are
accepted. Physician assistant students who
have not previously obtained a baccalaureate degree will earn a bachelor of arts in
physician assistant studies upon successful
completion of the program.
The Augsburg Physician Assistant
Program is currently accreditated from
CAAHEP (Commission on Accreditation of
Allied Health Education Programs).
In order for someone to practice as a
physician assistant, one must graduate from
an accredited PA program and pass the PA
National Certification Examination. Practice
regulations differ from state to state.
The mission of the Augsburg College
Physician Assistant Program is to educate
students in a manner consistent with the
College's mission. It is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity to persons of
all cultures and backgrounds and oriented
toward providing care to undersewed
populations. Students are well educated in
current medical theory and practice, and
graduates are encouraged to work in primary care settings. The program promotes
dedication to excellence in performance,
with the highest standards of ethics and
integrity and commitment to lifelong personal and professional development.

P
hysicists are a curious and ambitious
lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern
all physical aspects of the universe.
Historically called "natural philosophers,"
physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical
analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to
the largest galaxies and from the relative
stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery
activity of stars. Physics plays an important
role in many of the liberal arts disciplines
and contributes to society's understanding
of such areas as energy, weather, medical
science, and space exploration.
Recognizing the importance of physics
in contemporary life and the need to keep
abreast of rapid technological advances,
the department strives to give students not
only an understanding of basic concepts,
but also insights into recent developments.
A rigorous major provides students with
the preparation required for graduate study
in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work
in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, computer science, atmospheric
science and meteorology, oceanography,
biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The
department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that
enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science.
These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to
follow new developments with some
degree of comprehension.
The department supervises the preengineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities
at both the bachelor's and advanced degree
levels, and administers Augsburg College's
portion of funds designated for the
Minnesota Space Grant College
Consortium, funded by NASA. It also
maintains active research programs (supported by NASA, the National Science
Foundation, and other federal agencies)
through its Center for Atmospheric and
Space Sciences. Several students work as
research assistants in these efforts during
the academic year and in the summer.
Cooperative education, internship, and
undergraduate research programs provide
opportunities for students to apply their
knowledge and problem-solving skills in
practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

F
irmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science shares concerns
with the humanities, other behavioral sciences, and mathematics and the sciences.
The role and significance of authority in
human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced
faculty that offers courses in all major
areas of political science, and also possesses special expertise in the areas of campaigns and elections, comparative and
international politics, mass communications and other information technolgoy,
racial and ethnic politics, and American
public law.
Political scientists use systematic
inquiry and analysis to examine political
reality. The student who majors in political
science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and
conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student
will be encouraged to relate insights from
other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history, and
sociology to the study of politics.
Providing work in several subfields of
political sciene, the major supplies the
breadth appropriate for graduate work in
political science, public administration,
public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on
which to develop careers in public service,
business, communications, and other
fields. Legislative and other internships, as
well as significant independent research
projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg
political science students in the Twin Cities
area. Combined with broad, balanced, and
flexible course offerings, these special
opportunities enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a successful
career.

P
sychology is an exploration of
behavior and mental processes. A s an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding
of individual and group behavior.
Psychology's scientific method also equips
students to understand and use scientific
research and to make more informed judgments about claims in the popular media.
To prepare students for graduate study
and work in psychology, the major emphasues the complementary components of a
strong foundation in research and theoretical work with application of knowledge and
skills in coursework, research experience,
and internships within the community. The
cuniculum's emphasis on problem-solving
skills and current information about human
development and interaction is also relevant to careers in many related s e t t i n g s
business, education, social services,
research, law, government, church,
and medicine.
Faculty members in the Department of
Psychology have varied professional specializatio=linical,
counseling, physiological, developmental, social, cognitive,
and industrial/organizational psychologyas well as expertise in psychological applications to health, law, and public policy.
Students may tap this expertise through a
variety of learning experiences-within
and outside the classroom, with group and
individual projects, and through association with Augsburg's active Psychology
Club, Psi Chi Honor Society, and facultystudent research teams.

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

Youth and Family Ministry Major
The major in youth and family ministry
prepares persons for faithful work as youth
and family ministers in Christian congregations and other ministry settings. This
major is interdisciplinary, combining a core
study of theology and Bible with supporting coursework in the social sciences. A
distinctive part of the major is the combination of practical and theological training,
using resources of the Youth and Family
Institute of Augsburg College. Students are
accepted into the program through a twostep candidacy process.
This major requires an approximately
100-hour internship administered by the
Youth and Family Institute in partnership
with a congregation. It may be possible for
the intern to receive a stipend for this
internship.
The candidacy process begins with
application, normally in the fall of the
student's sophomore or junior year. Two
of the theology core courses must be completed before making application to the
program. An essay, one letter of reference,
an assessment instrument called "Self
Portrait," and an interview are required for
candidacy review. The teaching staff will
conduct step one.
The second step will be conducted by
the Youth and Family Institute staff with
help from experienced pastors, a member
of the religion faculty, and youth and family ministers. This usually follows the
internship in the fall of the senior year.
Retaking the "Self Portrait," an essay, an
assessment of the internship, and an interview are required. This step is very important for recommending the students for
employment.

An interdisciplinary social studies
major is available for persons holding a
bachelor's degree and seeking licensure
only.
Students considering a career in
social studies education should consult,
as soon as possible, the Augsburg
Department of Education and the social
studies coordinator.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific
licensing requirements for teachers that
may differ slightly in emphasis from the
Augsburg major requirements. Students
should consult with the Augsburg
Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.
T h e social work major prepares graduates for entry-level generalist practice in
the field of social work. The baccalaureate
social work uroeram (B.S.W.) is accredited
by the Council on Social Work Education
and leads to a bachelor of science degree.
Graduates are prepared to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities
building on strengths, and to develop and
analyze social policy. The mission of the
department is to develop social work professionals for practice that promotes social
justice and empowerment towards the
well-being of people in a diverse and global society.
.
L,
Augsburg's social work major provides
a strong foundation for graduate studies in
a variety of fields. Since 1991 Augsburg
has offered a full-time Master of Social
Work (M.S.W.) degree on a weekend
schedule.
Augsburg College's motto, "Education
for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of
the Department of Social Work. The Twin
Cities area provides both a variety of field
placements for social work students and
extraordinary community resources for the
classroom. The ethnic and economic diversity in this metropolitan area enriches
opportunities for social work students to
learn to understand, appreciate, respect,
and work with people different from themselves.
The social welfare minor and electives
in the department allow students from
other majors to gain knowledge about
human needs and growth, human services,
global social welfare, and the methods of
effective citizenship. Using this knowledge,
students are encouraged to use their talents
and skills to address the needs of society,
always emphasizing social justice and the
central importance of diversity in the social
fabric of our world.

S
ociology
-. is the study of society as a
whole and of human social organization in
groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social
world and how human beings come to
think and act as they do.
The goal of the department is to guide
students in gaining knowledge of the social
order, how it affects them in their daily
lives, and how it can be applied to their
vocation. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society
and social groups, learn to create and use
scientific tools of analysis, and practice the
application of sociological concepts to the
solution of social problems.
Students are encouraged to select as
electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships,
independent study, Interim courses, and
field studies. The department urges students to use Augsburg's metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning.
Internships and cooperative education
enable majors to apply the theories and
research skills of sociology while they
explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in the human resources
departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice
field, and as professors of sociology. Others
have used their majors as preparation for
advanced study in areas such as law, the
ministry, social work, urban planning, and
human services.

Concentration in Crime and Community
Many of our students are interested in
the field of criminal justice. This concentration, however, is not a traditional criminal justice program. Rather, the focus is on
understanding crime in the community
with respect to prevention, and the solution of problems that lead to crime.
Students interested in community crime
prevention as well as the traditional
aspects of criminal justice-ourts,
prisons, probation, and law-will be served by
this major. See department chair for specific requirements.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific
licensing requirements for teachers that
may differ slightly in emphasis from the
Augsburg major requirements. The state
requirements may also be subject to
change after publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should consult with the
Augsburg Department of Education to
identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.

Sociology 249
Concentration in Social Psychology
Departmental Honors
Both the sociology and psychology
departments offer courses relevant to students with interests in social psychology.
The intent of the social psychology concentration is to provide students of either
major with a solid disciplinary foundation
along with specific course work to
strengthen a cross-disciplinary social psychological perspective. Students will participate in internship and research experiences specific to their social psychology
interest. Course work will emphasize
research skills, theoretical analysis, and
applied work in areas intended to prepare
students for careers in law, consulting,
research, and social policy, as well as many
other areas. In addition, the social psychology concentration is ideal for graduate
school preparation. See department chair
for specific requirements.
To complete the honors major in sociology, the student must have a minimum
GPA of 3.5 in the major and overall. In
addition, students must: (1) successfully
complete an internship, independent study,
or cooperative education experience; (2)
submit a portfolio including an honors
essay and completed papers and projects.
See department chair for specific requirements. An application for the honors major
must be completed by spring of the junior
year.

ur quality
- - of life, both personally
and professionally, depends in large part
upon the quality of our communication. A
communication major at Augsburg is
designed to enhance understanding of
communication in a variety of contexts
and to improve communication skills.
Since communication careers demand a
broad educational background, the department strongly encourages a second major
or two minors in fields such as business,
economics, English, history, international
relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts.
The Augsburg communication major
focuses on competency in both speech and
writing, as well as effective use of media.
Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities
and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as
aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics, and research methods in
their programs.
Prospective majors should meet with a
departmental adviser as early as possible to
design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year.

I HEATRE ARTS-THR
T
he study of theatre is finnly grounded
in the liberal arts, integrating kno&ledege
and principles from many academic and
artistic disciplines, including speechlcommunication, art, music, history, English,
literature, business, philosophy, and religion. Both the cumculum and dramatic
productions by the Theatre Arts Program
offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for the campus while also providing
a solid base in classical, modem, contemporary, and multicultural theatre.
Augsburg's location in the heart of a
major theatre center makes it an ideal
place to study theatre. At Augsburg we
seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theatre artists and
scholars, by encouraging connections
between our campus and the greater arts
community while also exploring connections between theory and application.
Student opportunity to make these connections includes course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist
Series (an annual series of events featuring
visiting theatre professionals from the Twin
Cities community who work closely with
students,) and attendance at numerous
professional productions in the Twin
Cities. Augsburg theatre productions are
treated as unique learning laboratories
where students can enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional
artists-in-residence.
In addition to learning skills specific to
theatre, students in theatre arts learn valuable skills applicable to other professions:
collaboration, verbal and non-verbal communication, organization, critical thinking,
leadership, creativity, and self-expression.
Involvement in theatre arts can help prepare students for such careers as law, education, business, communication, and jour-
nalism, as well as prepare theatre students
for careers in professional or academic theatre, television, and film. In order to prepare the student for graduate school or the
workplace, the department strongly
encourages a second major or minor in
such fields as speech/communication, art,
English, education, music, or religion.

Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges combine the
excitement and vitality of a metropolitan
center with the smallness and intimacy of
the rural setting. Augsburg i s 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 is
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 of
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."
In the study of the liberal arts, you will
encounter ideas and experiences from
the whole range of human knowledge.
The liberal arts education, however, i s
more than an education of knowledge
from a number of fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration i s necessary in
your chosen field. You may choose from a
variety of majors for hundreds of career
possibilities.
Augsburg i s in the center of the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this
metropolitan setting, a rich kaleidoscope
of resources and activities is available to
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 in
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 is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an
eager student body and a remarkable
location.
The College
Identification
Augsburg is afour-year liberal artscollege
affiliated with the American Lutheran
Church (ALC). Founded more than 100
years ago, Augsburg celebrated i t s
centennial in 1969 and i s i n its second
century of Christian higher education.
The current student body of over 1600 i s
largely of Lutheran background though
many denominations are represented on
campus. About 65% are residentstudents,
while others commute daily from the surrounding metropolitan area.

Augsburg was the first seminary founded
by Norwegian Lutherans in America.
Minneapolis replaced Marshall, Wisconsin, as Augsburg's home in 1872. The first
college students were enrolled i n 1874
and the first college graduation was held

The Minnesota Orchestra and other area
performing organizations afford rich
opportunities for the enjoyment of music
of many types. The Twin Cities also appear
regularly on the itineraries of major performing artists.
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.
A variety of dramatic and musical presentations is provided by several theaters
in the area such as the nationally known
Guthrie Theater, Theater-in-the-Round,
the O l d Log Theater, the St. Paul Opera,
Chimera Theater and the Chanhassen
Dinner Theater.

A great deal has been written during the
last few years describing the responsibilities of a college to i t s students. Augsburg
recognizes its task to provide consistently
high quality opportunities for learning
along with support systems which enhance the teaching-learning process.
Learning is 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 i n n e r
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 i n this process. Neither
party can elude its basic task.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try t o
take a personal interest i n their students.
The student-faculty ratio i s approximately
15.5 t o 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 150,000volumes
including books, periodicals, records and
various other media. The Music and
Chemistry libraries are located within the
departmental areas.
Access to 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 t o
the Augsburg faculty and students.
A service-dedicated staff p r o v i d e s
students with assistance to meet diverse
information needs including instruction
in the use of the library, standard reference service, guidance i n pursuing term
paper topics, and directions t o 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 f a c u l t y 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 i n
four courses; during the interim concentration i s on one subject.
The interim period is 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 in this change from the
general academic schedule. Interest i n
music may take form in the study and
presentation of a concert program. Interest i n people may find form i n the study
and participation i n activities of a social
agency. Newspapers and advertising
agencies provide opportunities for those
interested' i n communications. Whether
your interests are sedate or spectacular
the interim will afford the opportunity t o
experience and experiment while learning.

An important part of daily life at Augsburg

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

Center i s a valued worship experience for
many students. Students, faculty and staff

number of groups having a religious
emphasis meet regularly. The Campus
Pastor has an office in the College Center
where you can contact him for counseling, consultation or ways to get more
involved.
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.

relationships, exploring values, identifying life styles, developing autonomy and
interdependence, finding purpose and
commitment - all combine with intellectual content and skills t o produce the
desired educational impact of the college
on its students.
The Division of Student Affairs has been
created t o support this task. During the
summer before your freshman year, or at
the time of transfer, you will receive a

makes provision for an individualized
plan of education. A prospective student
who qualifies for the program may choose
Augsburg as a home school and carry on a
pre-planned course of study at other
colleges while in the Army. An adviser at
Augsburg assists the student in the selection of courses which will transfer and
apply toward graduation when the student matriculates at Augsburg. A registration fee of $100 i s charged. This fee will
apply toward the student's tuition, provided he or she matriculates as a full-time
student at Augsburg College within five
years from initial registration with the
college in Project Ahead.
The Army provides up to 75% of the
tuition for courses under Project Ahead.
After enlistment, when the student enrolls at Augsburg, the Army provides 36

scored high on the Advanced Placement
Examinations. Augsburg will also award

information may be addressed to the
Registrar at Augsburg.
Financial Aid
About 82% of all Augsburg students receive financial assistance from the college
through some form of scholarships,
grants, loans, campus employment, or a
combination of these. Assistance i s
awarded on the basis of financial need
and academic record. Application for aid
i s made by completing the Family Financial Statement (FFS) of the American College Testing Program. While Augsburg

for students applying to the Minnesota
State Scholarship and Grant Program, students may instead submit the Financial
Aid Form (FAF) of the CollegeScholarship
Service. Upperclass students must also
complete the Augsburg Application for
Financial Aid.
For the academic year 1977-78, approximately 82% of the students at Augsburg
received scholarships, grants, or loans

Loan. Both on-campus and off-campus
work opportunities are also available.
Applications for financial aid received by
April 1will be considered first. For further
information, contact the Office of Student Financial Services at Augsburg.
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
1979-80 are $3365 per year. Books and
supplies may be estimated at $225 per
year. Room and board is $1620 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 to 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 in a given locality. Following
you will find a summary of financial aid
programs.
Information on a deferred payment plan
i s available from the Augsburg College
Office of Student Financial Services.

the social sciences.
Augsburg graduates are expected to be
able to write effectively; they are also
expected to be knowledgeable about
urban concerns and have some understanding of cultures outside the United
States.
The general recreational activities courses
at Augsburg are designed to acquaint
students with and to equip students for
lifetime sports.

E. Two lifetime sports or demonstrated proficiency in two lifetime sports.
Registration
A student must be registered for a course
in order to receive credit for it.
A normal load is four courses per semester and one course i n the interim.
Students registered for three or more
courses in a semester are classified as fulltime students. Students must petition and
receive permission to register for more
than 4.5 courses.
Although a student may register up to two
weeks after the semester begins, it is
advantageous to register at the regularly
scheduled time. A fee is charged for late
registration. A fee i s also charged for
changing registration, i.e., cancelling or
adding courses after the first five days of
the semester.
Students are urged not t o abandon
courses for which they are registered.
Abandoned courses result in a failing
grade. Cancellation of courses or cancellation from College must be done in the
Registrar's Office. Cancellations from
college and resulting adjustments in
accounts are effective as of the date the
completed Cancel From College form i s
returned to the Office of the Registrar.
Students who have completed at least
7 courses with a 2.0 average are classified
as sophomores, 16 as juniors, and 25 as
seniors.
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.
FRESHMAN,
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
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 to withdraw before the end of the
spring term.
Dismissal from the College will not be
automatic. Each case will be reviewed by
the Committee on Admissions and
Student Standing.
A student who has been on probation for
two terms and withdraws from the College 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 of
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 (no
credit for the course).
Most courses are also offered on a Pass/
No 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. On 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 Ptoward graduation. For transfer students the maximum i s an average of
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; some others
are graded only only P, 1.0, N. Eng. Ill i s
graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Students may
select the traditional grading system in
most other courses. Students are cautioned to use the P/N grade option with care
since some graduate and professional
schools do not look favorably on a large
number of P-graded courses.
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 to 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 case of 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 1 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 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.
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 are counted toward graduation and in the grade
point average. Courses i n which higher
grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however,
be audited.
Students who wish t o !ake courses without credit or grade may do so by register-
ing for Audit (V). Such students should
confer with the professor within two
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 in 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
3 . 8 - 4.0 grade

In order to qualify for graduation with
distinction transfer students must have
completed two years (fourteen graded
courses) of work at Augsburg College.
l ndependent Study
Independent study programs are offered
by many departments in the College.
These programs are often available to
conscientious students who can demonstrate sufficient background and preparation in a given field to carry out work on
an independent basis. Students interested
in registering for independent study must
first secure permission from the faculty
member who will direct the study as well
as from the department involved.
A student who registers for 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
in order to 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 in
which the independent study is proposed
i s not available on their home campus.
Requests for exceptions to this policy
should be made directly to their own
academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached to
independent study by the host campus.
Veterans
Augsburg College i s approved by the
State Approving Agency for Veterans
Training.
Veterans should consultwith the Officeof
the Registrar regarding completion of the
enrollment certificate and the forwarding
of other information to the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more
courses are classifiedas full-time students.
It i s the responsibility of each veteran to
report any change in 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 the case of extreme
emergency. See section on Grading.
Grade reports are issued to students following each term.
A non-punitive grade which brings a
veteran's academic load for the term
below three courses will be reported to
the Veterans Administration. Veterans
will need to meet the requirements of the
Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds
received.

enable a student t o 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 to the
Three-Two Plan are: Math 124, 125, 224,
226; Physics 121,122; Chemistry 115, 116;

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.

Medical Technology
This major involves the completion of
three years of academic work at Augsburg
College and twelve months of internship
at Hennepin County Medical Center,
Metropolitan Medical Center or Northwestern Hospital. Specific recommended
courses vary t o some extent depending
on the hospital with which the students
plan t o affiliate. It i s important to work
closely with the Medical Technology
adviser. Augsburg College does not guarantee that all students will be accepted by
the hospitals for the 12-month internship.
Students must negotiate directly with the
hospitals involved.
Although it i s not recommended, Chemistry 223 may be taken instead of Chemistry
351-352. However, credit for both Biology
367 and Chemistry 223 is not given. If
Chemistry 223 is taken, then the two
required upper division biology courses
may not include Biology 367.
Required science courses: 1) Biology 111,
112 and two additional upper division
(usually 367 and 476); 2) Chemistry: 105,
106 (or 115,116), 351,352,353; 3) Physics:
103 (or 121,122); one math course.
Students transferring t o Augsburg College with an Associate of Arts degree or its
equivalent should expect to spend two
years at Augsburg before participating in
the internship year. The Medical Technology major is not designed for persons
w h o already have t h e baccalaureate
degree from another institution.

Philosophy
Chairperson: Kenneth Bailey
120 ETHICS
MAJOR: 9 courses, including 130, 241,
242, 343, and 344.
Sometimes you say that a certain action is
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)
M I N O R : 5 courses, including two courses
from 241, 242, 343, and 344.
H O N O R S MAJOR: Admission to the
Philosophy Honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such
recommendationswill 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.
Courses 110, 120, and 130 are recommended for fulfilling the general education requirement.
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).
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
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 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. (Fall,
Spring)
241 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY I: PLAT0
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. 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)
350 PHILOSOPHY O F RELIGION
What i s 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.
355 ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.
360 PHILOSOPHY O F LANGUAGE
343 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY Ill:
ENLIGHTENMENT A N D 1 9 f H
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 the 18th century (Locke,
Berkeley, Hume). Kant's synthesis-ofphilosophy, 19th century idealism, and the
reaction to idealism in men such as Marx,
Kierkegaard and Neitzsche. (Fall)
344 HISTORY O F PHILOSOPHY IV:
CONTEMPORARY 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 a study of the
major representatives of linguistic
analysis, pragmatism, existentialism, and
phenomenology. (Spring)
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.
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.

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. Through the intercollegiate or intramural athletic programs you may choose participation in athletics.
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 is neither self-serving nor selfsustaining, 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 of your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental
as well as the individual are central. The
college follows the calendar known as the "41-4."
In 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 accumulation 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 in the center of the Twin Cities of
Mlnneapol~sand St. Paul. In thls rnetrapolitan
setting, a rich kaleidoscope of resources and
activities are available to 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 M~nneapolisInstitute of Arts. You may
choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra
or one by the many professional touring groups
that appear in the Twin Cities. There are
numerous opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available the Twins, the Vikings, the North Stars, the
Fighting Saints, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a
capable and dedicated staff, an eager student
body and a remarkable location.
The College
Identification
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college
affiliated with the American Lutheran Church
(ALC). Founded more than 1 0 0 years ago,
Augsburg celebrated its centennial in 1 9 6 9 and
is in its second century of Christian higher
education.
The current student body of over 1 7 0 0 is
largely of Lutheran background though many
denominations are represented on campus.
About 65% are resident students, while others
commute daily from the surrounding
metropolitan area.
Location
You and your education will have the option of
benefiting from Augsburg's location in the Twin
Cities. Excellent art collections are available to
you in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the
Walker Art Center, and many other galleries.
The Minnesota Orchestra and other area performing organizations afford rich opportunities
for the enjoyment of music of many types. The
Twin Cities also appear regularly on the
itineraries of major performing artists.
A variety of dramatic and musical presentations
is provided by several theaters in the area such
as the nationally known Guthrie Theater,
Theater-in-the Round, the Old Log Theater, the
St. Paul Opera, Chimera Theater and the
Chanhassen Dinner Theater.
Recreational activities abound. You can play
tennis at parks near the campus or swim In one
of the many area lakes. In the winter you may
join other students on skiing trips. Professional
sports are available the year around.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Several major
airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport, including United,
Northwest Orient, Eastern, Braniff, North
Central, Ozark and Allegheny. Bus or train
connections can be made from all areas of the
United States.
The Augsburg campus is just five minutes east
of downtown Minneapolis via Interstate 9 4
which forms the southern border of the
campus. (Directions are given in the map
section of this catalog.)
History
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by
Norwegian Lutherans in America. Minneapolis
replaced Marshall, Wisconsin, as Augsburg's
home in 1 8 7 2 . The first college students were
enrolled in 1 8 7 4 and the first college
graduation was held in 1 8 7 9 .
The school was officially named Augsburg
College in 1 9 6 3 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.
Nature and Objectives
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college of
the American Lutheran Church. It is committed
to an open, honest, competent inquiry into the
sciences, arts, and humanities in the context of
the Christian faith.
Augsburg emphasizes the following primary
objectives:
To expose students to a wide variety o f
ideas and disciplines, while assisting them to
become proficient in one area or major
to help students understand the Christian
faith in relation to the contemporary world
to develop students' love of learning and
their faculties of reason, criticism, curiosity
and imagination by encouraging and maintaining academic excellence
to increase students' understanding of the
urban environment and culture, and to
enable them to gain the skills needed to
respond creatively to the problems and
potentialities of the modern city
to encourage students to ascertain their
interests and abilities, and to aid them in
discovering the occupatio~~al
opportunities
which exist for them
to assist students in their intellectual,
emotional, and spiritual growth; to
encourage them to develop attitudes and
qualities of character compatible with the
Christian faith.
Policies
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to
discriminate on the basis of race, creed,
national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex
or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended in its
admissions policies, educational programs,
activities and employment practices. Inquiries
regarding compliance with Title IX may be
directed to Charles Gerster, Science Hall,
Room 139, or Marianne Sander, Memorial Hall,
(332-5181), or to the Director of the Office for
Civil Rights, Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, Washington, D.C.
The College and its faculty subscribe to the
Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom
as promulgated by the American Association of
University Professors and the Association of
American Colleges.
The Campus
Augsburg's compact campus is located in the
heart of Minneapolis surrounding Murphy
Square, the first of the 1 5 5 parks in the "City
of Lakes." The College currently has 1 5 major
buildings with a number of cottage housing
units that are very popular with the students.
The University of Minnesota and two of the
city's largest hospitals, Fairview and St. Mary's,
are adjacent to the campus.
Accreditation
Augsburg has achieved full accreditation in the
following associations that set standards by
which excellence is judged:
North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools
The National Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary)
The American Chemical Society
Visiting the Campus
The purpose of the campus visit is to permit
students to learn, first-hand, about the College
program, facilities, and admissions requirements. A personal interview affords candidates,
parents, and the admissions counselor the opportunity to exchange information vital in the
process of selecting a college and in making
admissions decisions. A campus tour and an interview with an admissions officer are strongly
recommended but are not mandatory.
Students who wish to arrange for a tour and an
interview are asked to write for an appointment
or call the office (332-5181 ). Preferred times
for campus visits are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays. Arrangements may also be made to meet
with a member of the faculty and to attend
classes, Monday through Friday, when school
is in session.
School, church, and other groups are welcome
to visit the College. Arrangements may be
made by writing the Office of Admissions,

Academic Life
Augsburg is a modern well-equipped college
which aims to provide its 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 is available.
Pre-professional preparation for such fields as
engineering, medicine, law and the Christian
ministry is offered. The College prepares
students for graduate study in several
disciplines. Preparation for careers in business,
communications, medical technology, music,
nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching is available.
Augsburg seeks to assist its students through
their academic experience to better understand
themselves and the world and to equip them to
serve according to 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 is not, however, a commodity which
can be purchased. It is not equal to simply
buying so many courses and being exposed to
the activities of professors. Learning involves
the 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.
problems. They often join students in
discussing the political climate, comparing
notes on a visiting speaker, or talking over the
latest Viking 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 to study. The main
library, centrally located next to the Science
Hall, houses over 150,000 volumes including
books, periodicals, records and various other
media. The Music and Chemistry libraries are
located within the departmental areas.
Access to over a million volumes is 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 service-dedicated staff provides students with
assistance to meet diverse information needs
including instruction in 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
audiolvideo tape recordings are available for
both faculty and students. Equipment such as
movie and slide projectors and tape recorders
may be borrowed for limited periods; film
bibliographies and other advice on materials
selection are also available.
Faculty
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to take a
personal interest in their students. The studentfaculty ratio is approximately 16.3 to 1, with
class size averaging 25 or less.
Augsburg follows the 4-1 -4 calendar. Two 15week semesters are separated by a 4-week
interim in January. During each semester the
student generally enrolls in four courses; during
the interim concentration is on one subject.
Augsburg faculty members serve as academic
advisers and are available for help on individual
The interim period is 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
in this change from the general academic
schedule. Interest in music may take form in
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 to experience and experiment while
learning.
General Education Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation are
minimal, affording the student considerable
freedom in the choice of courses. A student
seeking a liberal arts education would probably
choose many of them even if they were not
required.
,
In the humanities area, students may select
courses in literature, philosophy, art, music,
foreign languages, speech, drama, and religion.
Science courses may be chosen from biology,
chemistry, mathematics, or physics. Courses in
social and behavioral sciences are offered in
the departments of economics, history, political
science, psychology and sociology. Proficiency
in English writing must be demonstrated. One
course from an approved list of courses
containing an emphasis on urban concerns is
required as is also proficiency in two lifetime
sports. For details on general education
requirements see under Academic
Administration.

Stenshoel, is strongly suggested. Students may
wish to take the Political Science course, Law
in the United States, to help determine whether
they possess an interest in law. Since law
schools encourage students to maintain a high

Inter-Institutional 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 educational materials including
approximately 150,000 books, periodicals,
records, tapes, scores and films.
ASSOCIATED COLLEGES OF TH6 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 to gain new perspectives,
to 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 free
between the campuses.
'
CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY PROGRAM. A
cooperative effort between Augsburg College
and Metropolitan 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 to train specialists to help professional
people in dealing with chemical dependency
problems. Courses are taken both on the
Augsburg and the 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.
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 is new each year, the Interim Director
should be consulted regarding planned
programs.
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 to the school of nursing should be
made directly to the hospital.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM. This
group is composed of colleges and universities
in Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota. 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 metrourban affairs conference, and development of
programs consistent with the needs and
resources of the community organizations of
the Upper Midwest.
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 is
accepted by the participating hospital for its
program. Augsburg College does not guarantee
acceptance by the hospitals.
ENGINEERING. Affiliation with Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science in St. Louis, Missouri, and Michigan
Technological University in Houghton,
Michigan, enables a student to receive the
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College
and an engineering baccalaureate degree from
Washington University or Michigan
Technological University, in a five-year
program. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg and the last two at the affiliated
university.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY. A program in
Corrective Therapy worked out in cooperation
with the Veterans Administration Hospital,
Fairview Hospital, and Cambridge State
Hospital, is available to students who complete
a major in physical education with specialization
in Corrective Therapy.

the program. Application should be made
during the spring semester of the sophomore
year. Candidates are required to have a 2.5
grade-point average in work completed in the
major and a 2.0 grade-point average over-all.
All candidates should, as soon as possible,
consult with the Director regarding proper
sequence of courses.
ANTIOCH-MINNEAPOLIS COMMUNIVERSITY.
Students at Augsburg College and AntiochMinneapolis Communiversity, a metropolitan
school emphasizing experiential-based learning,
may take classes at each other's campuses
under certain mutually satisfactory
arrangements. Interested persons should
contact the Academic Dean.
ROTC. While Augsburg does not offer Reserved
Officers Training programs for the various
armed services of the United States, such
programs are available in the metropolitan area
and may be pursued by Augsburg students. For
information, confer with the Dean of the
College.
Opportunities for Study Abroad
Several types of international experience are
available to Augsburg students. Some of them
are briefly described below. For application
procedures and further information, request the
special brochure on lnternational Study at
Augsburg from the Director of lnternational
Programs. Since there is a limit on the number
of students who may study abroad each year it
is wise to apply in the fall prior to the year one
wishes to participate in an international
program.
STUDENT PROJECT FOR AMITY AMONG
NATIONS (SPAN). 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 to enable them to spend a
summer in informal study in one of the
countries chosen. Applications to 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 on 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. These institutions are
the University of Oslo, Norway; Schiller College
in London and Heidelberg; Warnborough House
College at Oxford, England; the lnstituto
Allende at San Miguel de Allende in Mexico;
the Institute for American Universities at Aix-enProvence and Avignon in France; The Goethe
Institute in Germany; the University of
Hamburg, Germany; the University of Seville,
Spain; and the University of Laval in Quebec. In

lnternational Living, Augsburg students are
offered study programs in Columbia, Denmark,
England, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece,
Guatemala, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Nepal,
Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. This
type of study must be approved before
departure by the Director of lnternational
Programs, one's faculty adviser, and the
Committee on Admissions and Student
Standing. Credit earned through foreign study
may be applied to the student's graduation
requirements as electives, as elements of the
major sequence, or to satisfy some of the
general education requirements.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Again there is a wide
variety of possibilities for those who wish to
spend a summer studying abroad. Recently
Augsburg students have spent summers in
Norway, Spain, Mexico, France, Greece,
Germany, and England. Those interested in
further information should contact the Director
of International Programs.
INTERIM. Study abroad during the interim is
planned for each year. See listings under the
Augsburg Interim Catalog and in the brochure
on Interims Abroad issued each spring for the
following January.
both credit and non-credit, through its
Continuing Education Program. Classes are
generally in the evening. Since continuing
education courses are offered on a semesterhour basis, the courses vary in length from four
weeks to fourteen weeks. Students wishing to
know more about Augsburg's continuing
education offerings should call or write the
Office of the Associate Dean of the Faculty.
New Dimensions Program
The New Dimensions Program is for adults who
have not attended or who have not graduated
from college. The program provides admissions
counseling, career guidance and planning, a
simplified time-saving registration procedure,
on-the-job experience prior to graduation, and,
for those who desire it, a special course to
ease the transition to academic life.
Honors Program
The Honors Program at Augsburg is designed
to provide opportunities for qualified students to
pursue an enriched and sometimes accelerated
course of study. Special seminars, colloquia,
honors student forums and options in
completing the general education requirements
are all parts of the Honors Program. Inquiries
should be addressed to Dr. Milda Hedblom,
Honors Director.
lnternship Program
The lnternship Program is a college-wide
program. It provides students in almost all fields
of study an opportunity to gain practical on-thejob experience that can be related to their
academic program or personal interests.
Internships are available with a variety of
companies, agencies and community
organizations.
Continuing Education Program
Augsburg College offers a number of courses,
The transitional course, "The Adult Student:
Issues and Challenges," is offered several
times a year. It includes self-assessment,
testing, counseling, training and practice in
study skills, career exploration, and discussion
of personal and family problems arising from

Student Life
Your experiences in the classroom are a major
aspect of your college life, but 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 to 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 Campus Pastor
has an office in the College Center where you
can contact him for counseling, consultation or
ways to get more involved.
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 leisure-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.
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 on campus
each year under the direction of the theater arts
department.
Recreation
Every student is urged to participate in some
activity for his or her own recreation and
relaxation. An intramural program provides
competition in a variety of team sports as well
as individual performance activities. Broomball
has been an especially popular coed sport.
Climaxing the intramural program is the
Extramural Meet, a tournament for intramural
winners at various colleges. Check schedules
for times when there is open use of the
gymnasium and the ice arena.
lntercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota
lntercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and
is a member of the National Association of
lntercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The College
annually competes in ten sports, including
football, soccer, cross-country, basketball,
hockey, wrestling, baseball, track, tennis, and
golf. Augsburg is also a member of the
Minnesota Women's lntercollegiate Athletic
Association (MWIAA) and the Association for
lntercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).
The women annually compete in volleyball,
gymnastics, basketball, badminton, golf, tennis,
and track.
Student Services
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
SEMAPHORE: Student Guide to a College
Education. This book will help you assess the
possibilities in your education, choices i o make,
directions to consider and different destinations
for which to plan. SEMAPHORE was 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 in
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, attend
events in the metropolitan area and seek
answers to the many questions 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 to review their
interests with a counselor.
Human Development Seminars. A series of
informal "mini-courses" are offered each year to
help you grow in understanding of yourself and
your relationship to others. Such topics as
PEER (Positive Educational Experiences in
Relationships), Issues in Men's and Women's
Identity, Assertiveness, Job Seeking, and
Sexuality are available. Information on current
offerings and opportunity to register are
provided several times during the year.
Academic Enrichment. You may want to
improve your skills in such areas as reading,
studying, note-taking, and testing by attending
one or more of the workshops offered. You
also will have an opportunity to meet with a
counselor to diagnose your needs. If a
particular course proves difficult, you can
arrange for tutoring through the Center.
Counseling and Guidance. Situations occur for
all of us where we can handle challenges more
effectively by finding and discussing things with
someone who has more expertise. Counselors
are available to help you think through how you
can handle major or minor problems in a
constructive way. Consultation is provided on
questions of policy and procedure.
Minority Concerns. If you have some special
needs or simply want to expand your crosscultural awareness, you can contact a staff
member to help you find out which resources
and programs will help meet your needs.
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 decision making.
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.
All new freshmen and some upperclass
students live in Urness Tower. This elevenstory high-rise houses 324. Each floor is
considered a house unit providing 36 students,
two to a room, with their own lounge, study
and utility area.
Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall, is
an alternative to traditional residence-hall living.
It contains 104 one and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 31 2 upperclass
students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses about
60 upperclass men and women. Memorial's
special advantage is that it is large enough to
meet new people, but small enough to retain a
friendly, close atmosphere.
Another alternative option is Annex Housing
which provides a unique opportunity to try
group living. Groups of upperclass men or
women share living space, house
responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are
located in the campus area. One way to
maximize the living-learning aspects of your
housing situation is 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.
the basis of academic interests, and students
are encouraged to establish close working
relationships with their adviser. Secondary

Committee on Admissions and Student
Standing.
A student who has been on probation for two
terms and withdraws from the College
voluntarily must have special permission to reenroll.
Evaluation and Grading
Student achievement in courses is 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 of
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 (no credit for
the course).
Most courses are also offered on a PassINo
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. On the PIN grading system the
grade is recorded but not computed in the
grade point average.
the PIN grading system. Some education
courses are graded only on the PIN system;
some others are graded only P, 1.0, N.
Students may select the traditional grading
system in most other courses. Students are
cautioned to use the PIN grade option with care
since some graduate and professional schools
do not look favorably on a large number of Pgraded courses.
Students must indicate on their registration card
those courses which they wish to take on the
PIN grading system. Any changes in choice of
grading system must be made during the first
two weeks of the semester. A fee is charged
after the first five days of classes.
Music organizations and performance studies,
Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports are
graded P1O.O.
An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in
the case of 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 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.
A student may count a maximum of eight
courses of P toward graduation. For transfer
students the maximum is an average of two
courses per year. Two courses in the major
(except Elementary Education) and one in the
minor may be on PIN grading system if
approved by the department chairman.
A course in which a grade of 0, 1 .O, 1.5, N, I,
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 are counted toward
graduation and in the grade point average.
Courses in which higher grades have been
earned may not be repeated for credit; they
may, however, be audited.
Sociology 383, Nursing 301, 302, 401, 402,
and several interim courses are graded only on
Students who wish to take courses without
credit or grade may do so by registering for
Audit (V). Such students should confer with the
professor within two weeks of the beginning of
the term to determine expectations, attendance
requirements, 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 with a grade of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course without
charge. The charge for part-time students is
listed under Expenses.
A maximum of two courses in lndependent
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 in which the
independent study is proposed is not available
on their home campus. Requests for exceptions
to this policy should be made directly to their
own academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached to
independent study by the host campus.
Graduation With Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as
follows:
Summa cum laude
Magna cum laude
Cum laude
3.8 - 4.0 grade average
3.6 - 3.79 grade average
3.3 - 3.59 grade average
In order to qualify for graduation with distinction
transfer students must have completed two
years (fourteen graded courses) of work at
Augsburg College.
lndependent Study
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 to the Veterans
Administration.
Students registered for three or more courses
are classified as full-time students. It is the
responsibility of each veteran to report any
change in registration andlor academic load to
the Office of the Registrar.
lndependent study programs are offered by
many departments in the College. These
programs are often available to conscientious
students who can demonstrate sufficient
background and preparation in a given field to
carry out work on an independent basis.
Students interested in registering for
independent study must first secure permission
from the faculty member who will direct the
study as well as from the department involved.
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 b e given only in the case of extreme
emergency. See section on Grading.
A student who registers for 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 in order to receive the final grade.
A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's
academic load for the term below three courses
will be reported to the Veterans Administration.
Veterans will need to meet the requirements of
the Veterans Administration regarding
repayment of educational assistance funds
received.

Michigan), in 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 to 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 ThreeTwo 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 to the Three-Two
Plan are: Math 124, 125, 224, 226; Physics
121, 122; Chemistry 11 5, 116; Computer
Science 245; English 11 1 ; 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 in the
freshman year. Students are encouraged to
apply for admission to the program during their
sophomore year. Early consultation with the
adviser, Earl Alton, is encouraged.

and one must survey a number of writers (for
example, 336, 337, or 423). All majors must
take Advanced Writing: Expository. Majors are
encouraged to take, early in their college work,
course 245, Introduction to Literature. Majors
are strongly urged 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 English
department.

department chairman.
Students interested in a teaching major are
encouraged to take courses toward their major
during the freshman and sophomore years,
enroll in Orientation to Education in the fall term
of the sophomore year and apply for teacher

MAJOR: 9 courses, including 130, 241, 242,
343. and 344.
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then

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. The reason for this is that
individuals lack the needed skills. The major
function of the course is to enable you to
develop the critical and analytical skills required
to evaluate and construct a system of ideas and
beliefs. (Fall, Spring)
120 ETHICS
Sometimes you say that a certain action is right
or condemn it as wrong. Why do 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. (Fall, Spring)
241 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY I: PLAT0
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 II: MEDIEVAL
AND RENAISSANCE PHILOSOPHY
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a
period of darkness, whereas the Renaissance
was a time of 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)
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 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)
344 HI,STORY 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
linguistic analysis, pragmatism, existentialism,
and phenomenology. (Spring)
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.
(Fall, 1 9 78)
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)
350 PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION
380 MEDICAL ETHICS
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? Is
man really immortal? Are miracles possible?
We intend to conduct a systematic inquiry into
these questions which form the basis of
religious beliefs. (Spring, 19 79)
Application of ethical principles to problems
which arise in the areas of medical care and
delivery, abortion, human engineering, care for
the dying and euthanasia.
430 STUDIES IN INDIVIDUAL
PHILOSOPHERS
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies
which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism,
Confucianism and Taoism. (Spring, 1978)

particular philosophers, e.g., Plato, Descartes,
Marx, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, etc.
Seminar format. (Suggested prior courses:
24 1, 242, 3 4 3 , or #.)
360 PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
440 THEORY OF BEING
Every day we use language to buy and sell,
praise and berate, communicate with friends.
What is language? Could an ir~dividualbe 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? Is 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. (Fall, 1 9 78)
Being is the most important concept which
philosophy investigates. This course studies
some of the perennial theories of metaphysics
along with some modern applications of these
theories. Students will have the opportunity to
read and discuss primary texts as well as
contemporary articles dealing with
metaphysics. (Prereq: one prior course in
philosophy)
355 ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY

Students wishing to develop their own major by

Transdisciplinary Major enables students to
respond to a particular career interest. While
such an individually developed major may
satisfy the particular interests of a student,
broad majors may not be suitable for those
wishing to pursue graduate study or preprofessional programs in some academic fields.
Students wishing to develop a Transdisciplinary
Major are to observe the 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 end of
his or her sophomore year (contract
forms are available in the Office of the
Registrar);
c. The contract must be approved by the
student's adviser and by the Faculty
Committee on Admissions and Student
Standing.

Introduction
Few liberal arts colleges cgmbine 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. Through the intercollegiate or intramural athletic programs you may choose participation in athletics.
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 is neither self-serving nor selfsustaining, 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 of your own education.
At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental
as well as the individual are central. The
college follows the calendar known as the "41-4."
In 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 accumulation 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 in the center of the Twln Cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this metropolitan
setting, a rich kaleidoscope d resources and
activities are available to enrich your educafion,
if you choose. You may select an evening at
the Guthrie Theater, the Brave New Workshop,
or at any of the many galleries or cofee
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 in the Twin Cities. There are
numerous opportunities for individual and team
sports. Professional sports are also available the Twins, the Vikings, the North Stars, the
Fighting Saints, and the Kicks.
Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive
combination: a strong academic program, a
capable and dedicated staff, an eager student
body and a remarkable location.
The College
Identification
Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college
affiliated with the American Lutheran Church
(ALC). Founded more than 1 0 0 years ago,
Augsburg celebrated its centennial in 1 9 6 9 and
is in its second century of Christian higher
education.
The current student body of over 1 7 0 0 is
largely of Lutheran background though many
denominations are represented on campus.
About 65% are resident students, while others
commute daily from the surrounding
metropolitan area.
Location
You and your education will have the option of
benefiting from Augsburg's location in the Twin
Cities. Excellent art collections are available to
you in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the
Walker Art Center, and many other galleries.
The Minnesota Orchestra and other area performing organizations afford rich opportunities
for the enjoyment of music of many types. The
Twin Cities also appear regularly on the
itineraries of major performing artists.
A variety of dramatic and musical presentations
is provided by several theaters in the area such
as the nationally known Guthrie Theater,
Theater-in-the Round, the Old Log Theater, the
St. Paul Opera, Chimera Theater and the
Chanhassen Dinner Theater.
Recreational activities abound. You can play
tennis at parks near the campus or swlm in one
of the many area lakes. In the winter you may
join other students on skiing trips. Professional
sports are available the year around.
Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Several major
airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport, including United,
Northwest Orient, Eastern, Braniff, North
Central, Ozark and Allegheny. Bus or train
connections can be made from all areas of the
United States.
The Augsburg campus is just five minutes east
of downtown Minneapolis via Interstate 9 4
which forms the southern border of the
campus. (Directions are given in the map
section of this catalog.)
History
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by
Norwegian Lutherans in America. Minneapolis
replaced Marshall, Wisconsin, as Augsburg's
home in 1 8 7 2 . The first college students were
enrolled in 1 8 7 4 and the first college
graduation was held in 1 8 7 9 .
The school was officially named Augsburg
College in 1 9 6 3 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.

The Campus
I
1
Augsburg's compact campus is located in the
heart of Minneapolis surrounding Murphy
Square, the first of the 1 5 5 parks in the "City
of Lakes." The College currently has 1 5 major
buildings with a number of cottage housing
units that are very popular with the students.
The University of Minnesota and two of the
city's largest hospitals, Fairview and St. Mary's,
are adjacent to the campus.
Accreditation
Augsburg has achieved full accreditation in the
following associations that set standards by
which excellence is judged:
North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools
The National Council for the Accreditation of
Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary)
The American Chemical Society
Visiting the Campus
The purpose of the campus visit is to permit
students to learn, first-hand, about the College
program, facilities, and admissions requirements. A personal interview affords candidates,
parents, and the admissions counselor the opportunity to exchange information vital in the
process of selecting a college and in making
admissions decisions. A campus tour and an interview with an admissions officer are strongly
recommended but are not mandatory.
Students who wish to arrange for a tour and an
interview are asked to write for an appointment
or call the office ( 3 3 2 - 5 18 1 ) . Preferred times
for campus visits are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays. Arrangements may also be made to meet
with a member of the faculty and to attend
classes, Monday through Friday, when school
is in session.

Academic Life
Augsburg is a modern well-equipped
college which aims to provide its 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 is available. Pre-professional
preparation for such fields as engineering,
medicine, law and the Christian ministry is
offered. The College prepares students for
graduate study in several disciplines.
Preparation for careers in business,
communications, medical technology, music,
nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and
teaching is available.
Augsburg seeks to assist its students through
their academic experience to better understand
themselves and the world and to equip them to
serve according to their individual interests and
abilities.
The 4- 1 -4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1.-4 calendar. Two 1 5 week semesters are separated by a 4-week
interim in January. During each semester the
student generally enrolls in four courses; during
the interim concentration is on one subject.
The interim period is 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
in this change from the general academic
schedule. Interest in music may take form in
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 to experience and experiment while
learning.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able faculty who try to take a
personal interest in their students. The studentfaculty ratio is approximately 1 7 . 8 to 1 , with
class size averaging 2 5 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 Viking victory while having coffee.
General Education Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation are
minimal, affording the student considerable
freedom in the choice of courses. A student
seeking a liberal arts education would probably
choose many of them even if they were not
required.
In the humanities division, students select
courses in literature, philosophy, art, music,
speech, drama, and religion. Science courses
may be chosen from biology, chemistry,
mathematics, physics, or psychology. Courses
in economics, history, political science,
sociology, and foreign languages or literature
are available. Proficiency in English writing
must be demonstrated. One course from an
approved list of courses containing an
emphasis on metropolitan concerns is required
as well as physical education activities. (For
details, see "Academic Administration"
section.)

approximately 1 5 0 , 0 0 0 books, periodicals,
records, tapes, scores and films. The library is
open seven days a week, and the Audio-Visual
Center includes audio and television studios,
and provides film rental and related services.
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 to
gain new perspectives, to 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. [he interim term may also be taken
on another campus. A regularly scheduled bus
shuttles students free between the 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 is new each year, the Interim Director
should be consulted regarding planned
programs.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM.
This group is composed of colleges and
universities in Minnesota, Iowa, and South
Dakota. Planned activities include innovative
curricular programs for s t ~ ~ d e n t interchange
s,
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 Metropolitan Community College in
downtown Minneapolis has resulted in the
establishment of a four-year program in
sociology or psychology with a chemical
dependency specialty. The program is
designed to train specialists to help
professional people in dealing with chemical
dependency problems. Courses are taken both
on the Augsburg and the Metropolitan
camwses.
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.
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 to 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 is
accepted by the participating hospital for its
program. Augsburg College does not guarantee
acceptance by the hospitals.
ENGINEERING. Affiliation with Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science in St. Louis, Missouri, and Michigan
Technological University in Houghton,
Michigan, enables a student to receive the
Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College
and an engineering baccalaureate degree from
Washington University or Michigan
Technological University, in a five-year
program. The first three years are spent at
Augsburg and the last two at the affiliated
university.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY. A program in
Corrective Therapy worked out in cooperation
with the Veterans Administration Hospital,
Fairview Hospital, and Cambridge State
Hospital, is available to students who complete
a major in physical education with specialization
in Corrective Therapy.
Admission to the intercollegiate programs
requires an application to be approved by the
Director of Physical Education. Application
should be made during the spring semester of
the sophomore year. Candidates are required
to have a 2.5 grade-point average in work
completed in the major and a 2.0 grade-point

available to Augsburg students. Some of them
are briefly described below. For application
procedures and further information, request the
special brochure on lnternational Study at
Augsburg from the Director of lnternational
Programs.
STUDENT PROJECT FOR AMITY AMONG NATIONS (SPAN). 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 to enable them to spend a
summer in informal study in one of the
countries chosen. Applications to 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 on a topic
of one's choice auring 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. These institutions are

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 leisure-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 nonclassroom related interests meet in the Center.
There are several opportunities for participation
in music and drama. In addition to campus and

and several student-organized groups such as
the Cabaret Singers also perform on and off
campus. Several plays are given on campus
each year under the direction of the theater
arts department.

member of the National Association of
lntercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The College
annually competes in ten sports, including
football, soccer, cross country, basketball,

Religious Life
An important part of daily life at Augsburg is
religious activity. The Religious Life
Commission, chaired by a student and
composed of students and faculty, sees its
major responsibility in relation to worship,
devotional life, and the stimulation of faith
through discussion and service. Chapel
services are held three times a week and are
both experimental and traditional in character
Students, faculty and staff attend voluntarily.
Student Services
The staff of the Center for Student

and academic counseling and consultation on
questions of academic procedure, student
activities, and residence living.
Reading and study skills assistance and tutoring are provided by the Center for Student
Development staff.
All members of the Augsburg faculty serve as
academic advisers. Advisers are assigned on
the basis of academic interests and students
are encouraged to establish close working
relationships with their adviser. Secondary
Education students may desire a second
adviser: one in the major and one in the area of
education. Freshmen also have an upperclass
adviser.
Career Planning and Placement services are
available to all students, and a Minority
Coordinator provides special support services
and programs for minority students on campus.
The office of Student Financial Services
provides assistance with financial problems. A
special Foreign Student Adviser works with
students from other countries.
New Dimensions Program
The New Dimensions Program is for adults who
have not attended or who have not graduated
from college. The program provides admissions
counseling, career guidance and planning, a
simplified time-saving registration procedure,
on-the-job experience prior to graduation, and,
for those who desire it, a special course to
ease the transition to academic life.
The transitional course, "The Adult Student:
Issues and Challenges," is offered several
times a year. It includes self-assessment,
testing, counseling, training and practice in
study skills, career exploration, and discussion
of personal and family problems arising from
the return to school. The course enables
returning adults to get to know each other
through sharing experiences, problems, hopes
and aspirations.
For further information, contact the New
Dimensions Office at Augsburg.
Housing
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 decision making.
Each residence unit has one or more Resident
Assistants who are able to facilitate the
process of group living as well as discuss
personal concerns with individual students.
All new freshmen and some upperclassmen live
in Urness Tower. This eleven-story high-rise
houses 3 2 4 . Each floor is considered a
house unit providing 3 6 students, two to a
room, with their own lounge, study, and utility
areas.
Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall,
is an alternative to traditional residence hall
living. It contains 1 0 4 one- and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 31 2 upperclass
students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses about
6 0 upperclass men and women. Memorial's
special advantage is that it is large enough to
meet new people, but small enough to retain a
friendly, close atmosphere.
Another alternative option is Annex Housing
which provides a unique opportunity to try
group living. Groups of upperclass men or
women share living space, house
responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are
located in the campus area.
Married student housing is available in annex
housing, Mortensen Tower and West Hall. All
freshmen and sophomores not living at home
are required to live in college-operated
housing.
Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned,
and contains kitchen units. It is otherwise
unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses,
rooms are furnished except for bed linen,
towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence.
Students engage a room at the beginning of the
fall term for the entire school year. New
students receive room assignments during the
summer before they enroll at Augsburg.
Upperclass students make housing
arrangements in the spring. All resident
students must sign housing contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged to
make the tuition deposit by June 1 in order to
secure housing. Students who deposit after
June 1 will be provided housing only if space is
available.
All students living on campus are required to
pay a $ 5 0 advanced payment when they sign
the housing contract. The fee is credited to the
students' account when they move into the
residence.
Food Service
The Commons, situated on the top floor of the
College Center, is the main food service
facility. This pleasant room features small table
units for easy conversation and overlooks the
College Quadrangle and Murphy Square. The
portions are generous and modestly priced.
Students on board plan living in residence halls
eat their meals in the Commons.
The Chinwag, located on the ground floor of
the Center, features short orders and is open
through the noon hour and in the evenings.
Augsburg provides a variety of board plan
options for those living in College houses or
nearby apartments.

College and the United States Army makes
provision for an individualized plan of education.
A prospective student who qualifies for tHe
program may choose Augsburg as a home
school and carry on a pre-planned course of
study at other colleges while in the Army. An
adviser at Augsburg assists the student in the
selection of courses which will transfer and
apply toward graduation when the student
matriculates at Augsburg. A registration fee of
$1 00 is charged. This fee will apply toward the
student's tuition, provided he or she
matriculates as a full-time student at Augsburg
College within five years from initial registration
with the college in Project Ahead.
The Army provides up to 75% of the tuition for
courses under Project Ahead. After enlistment,
when the student enrolls at Augsburg, the
Army provides 36 months of financial
assistance under the G.I. Bill.
Advanced Placement
Advanced placement is granted to students
who qualify, on the basis of work taken in high
school or elsewhere, to enroll in courses
beyond the beginning level. Placement may be
determined by tests, or by the level and length
of the study previously completed.
Advanced Standing
College credit is granted to high school
students who have successfully completed a
college level course and who have scored high
on the Advanced Placement Examinations.
Augsburg will also award credit on the basis of
scores received on the College Level
Examination Program (CLEP) offered by the
College Entrance Examination Board. Requests
for detailed information may be addressed to
the Registrar at Augsburg.

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.
Most courses are graded on a scale of 4.0 to
0 with definitions as follows:
4 . 0 Achieves highest standards of 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 (no
credit for the course).
Most courses are also offered on a PassINo
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. On the PIN grading system
the grade is recorded but not computed in the
grade point average.
A student may count a maximum of eight

(except Elementary Education) and one in the
minor may be on PIN grading system if
approved by the department chairman.

or X has been received may be repeated for
credit. Only the credits and grades earned the
second time are counted toward graduation and

higher grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however, be
audited.
Students who wish to take courses without
credit or grade may do so by registering for
Audit (V). Such students should confer with the
professor within two weeks of the beginning of
the term to determine expectations, attendance
requirements, etc. If expectations have been
met, the course will be listed on the student's

will be listed with a grade of W (withdrawn).
Full-time students may audit a course without
charge. The charge for part-time students is

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 in order to receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in lndependent
Study and/or Directed Study may count toward
the 3 5 courses required for the degree.
lndependent Study
lndependent study programs are offered by
many departments in the College. These
programs are often available to conscientious
students who can demonstrate sufficient
background and preparation in a given field to
carry out work on an independent basis.
Students interested in registering for
independent study must first secure permission
from the faculty member who will direct the
study as well as from the department involved.
In the Five College Cooperative Program,
students may cross-register for independent
studies only when the major field in which the
independent study is proposed is not available
on their home campus. Requests for
exceptions to this policy should be made
directly to their own academic dean. The
student will be charged for any special costs
attached to independent study by the host
campus.

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 Univeristy 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 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

The English Department recommends but does
not require that English majors consider
developing an area of emphasis broader than
the major as listed above. The three most likely
areas would be a British concentration, an
American concentration, and a world literature
concentration. A student arranges a
concentration by careful selection of elective
courses 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 English department.
BRITISH LITERATURE CONCENTRATION.
Select from: History 4 1 2 , 416; English 2 7 1 ,
3 3 1 , 3 3 2 , 3 3 6 , 3 3 7 , 3 6 7 , 3 6 8 , 423, 4 3 8
and sometimes 282, 4 9 0 , 4 9 1 .

Studies 2 3 2 ; English 2 4 1 , 2 5 0 , 3 5 1 , 3 6 7 ,
3 6 8 , and sometimes 2 8 2 , 490, 491. A
student with an American literature
concentration should take some of the courses
listed under the American Studies major which
are selected from the offerings of several
departments at Augsburg.
WORLD LITERATURE CONCENTRATION.
Select from: History 102, 3 6 0 , 3 6 1 ;
Philosophy 1 10, 2 4 2 , 3 4 3 , 3 7 0 ; German 244;

2 7 2 , 4 2 3 , and sometimes 2 8 2 , 490, 491.
A student electing a concentration should work
closely with his or her adviser. Interim courses,
special courses, and courses given at the other
cooperating colleges will often fit well into a
concentration. 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.
Enqlish 1 1 1 is strongly recommended but not a
prerequisite for a lower division literature
course. Prerequisite for an upper division
course is successful completion of a lower

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. The reason for this is that
individuals lack the needed skills. The major
function of the course is to enable you to
develop the critical and analytical skills required
to evaluate and construct a system of ideas
and beliefs. (Fall, Spring)
120 ETHICS
Sometimes you say that a certain action is right
or condemn it as wrong. Why do 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. (Fall, Spring)
period of darkness, whereas the Renaissance
was a time of 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)
343 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY Ill:
ENLIGHTENMENT AND 19TH CENTURY
PHILOSOPHY
Where does knowledge begin? In innate ideas
or with ex~erience?What can we reallv know
about the world? What impact did oma antic ism
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)
344 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY IV:
130 LOGIC
Suppose someone gives you reasons, and then
says you must accept a particular conclusion.
Do 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)
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 linguistic analysis,
pragmatism, existentialism, and
phenomenology. (Spring)
241 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY I: PLAT0
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)
350 PHILOSOPHY OF 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? Is man
really immortal? Are miracles possible? We
intend to conduct a systematic inquiry into
these questions which form the basis of
religious beliefs. (Spring, 1 9 7 9 )
355 ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY
242 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY II: MEDIEVAL
AND RENAISSANCE PHILOSOPHY
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies
which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism,
Confucianism and Taoism. (Spring, 1 9 7 8 )
360 PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
375 PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENTS
Every day we use language to buy and sell,
praise and berate, communicate with friends.
What is 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? Is 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. (Fall, 1 9 78)
Studies in such philosophical movements as
Analytic philosophy, American philosophy,
Phenomenology. Russian philosophy, etc.
(Suggested prior course: 3 4 4 )
365 PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
The scientist's knowledge of the world is
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.
(Fall, 1 9 78)
370 EXISTENTIALISM
Studies in the writings - both philosophical and
literary - of prominent Existentialist authors
We will examine what it means to be a being-inthe-world, and explore such themes as
absurdity, freedom, guilt, despair and paradox,
(Suggested: One prior course in philosophy)

which arise in the areas of medical care and
delivery, abortion, human engineering, care for

There are few colleges that combine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center
with the smallness and intimacy of the rural
setting. Augsburg is one of these few, very
special colleges that can offer you both.
The small college atmosphere enables you to
be a participant or a spectator at avariety of
events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts,
films, and lectures are regularly available to
you on campus. Through the intercollegiate or
intramural athletic programs you may choose
participation in athletics.
Religious activities are avital part of the campus. The Religious Life Commission has been
established by the Student Government for the
purpose of overseeing, stimulating and perpetuating religious life on the Augsburg campus. Its primary purpose and goal is not selfserving nor self-sustaining, but is that of
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
for you to design much of 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,"
In 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 accumulation of knowledge from a number of
fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration is necessary in your chosen field. You
may choose from 35 majors for hundreds of
career possibilities.
Augsburg is in the center of the Twin Cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this metropolitan
setting, a rich kaleidoscope of resources and
activities are available to enrich your education. You may choose 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
newly renovated Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
You may choose a concert by the Minnesota
Orchestra or one by the many professional
touring groups that appear in the Twin Cities.
There are numerous opportunities for individual and team sports. Professional sports
are also available-the Twins, the Vikings,
the North Stars, the Fighting Saints, and the
Buckskins.
Thus, Augsburg is a distinctive combination: a
strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an eager student body, and a
remarkable location.

home in 1872. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first college graduation was held in 1879.

which aims to provide its 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 is

opportunities for those interested in communications. No matter what your interest, the
interim will afford the opportunity to experience and experiment while learning.
Faculty
Augsburg has an able and dedicated faculty
who take a personal interest in their students.
The student-faculty ratio is approximately 17.8
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 know students by
their first name and often join students in discussing the political climate, reactions to the
latest visiting speaker, or talking over the
latest Viking victory while having coffee.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar. Two 15week semesters are separated by a 4-week interim in January. During each semester the
student generally enrolls in four courses; during the interim there is concentration on one
subject.
The interim period is 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 in
this break in the general academic schedule.
Interest in music may take form in 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
General Education Requirements
Distribution requirements for graduation are
minimal, affording the student considerable
freedom in the choice of courses. A student
seeking a liberal arts education would choose
many of them even if they were not required.

speech, drama, and religion. Science courses
may be chosen from biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, or psychology. Courses in
economics, history, political science, sociology, and foreign languages or literature are

Pre-Professional Training
Students who plan to enter the fields of law,
medicine, dentistry, the ministry, and
engineering, can profit from a liberal arts
education at Augsburg. It is suggested that re- '
quirements for admission to 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, in the humanities, and in religion and philosophy which will
provide the necessary preparation for future
professional study.
Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and
institutes in the Twin Cities areaon several
programs.
FIVE COLLEGE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM.
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
do this to gain new perspectives, to get better
acquainted with the other schools, or because
a specific course is not offered on the home
campus. Because these colleges have coordinated calendars, the interim term may also be
taken on another campus. A regularly
scheduled bus shuttles students free between
the 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 is new each year, the Interim
Director should be consulted regarding
planned programs.
THE HIGHER EDUCATION CONSORTIUM.
This group is composed of 12 colleges and
universities in Minnesota, Iowa, and South
Dakota. 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 Metropolitan Community College in
downtown Minneapolis has resulted in the establishment of a four-year program in sociology or psychology with a chemical dependency
specialty. The program is designed to train
specialists to help professional people in dealing with chemical dependency problems.
Courses are taken both on the Augsburg and
the 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. All take coursesfor
credit from Augsburg. Classes are held at
such places as the Shakopee Institution for
Women, Stillwater State Prison and Trevilla of
Robbinsdale (a halfway house rehabilitation
center). One purpose of the classes, which are
offered by several departments, is to get a
first-hand view of the prisons and hospitals,
and to personalize the study by actually interacting with inmates and their problems. 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.
AFFILIATION WITH LUTHERAN DEACONESS
HOSPITAL. Student nurses in the School of
Nursing at the Lutheran Deaconess Hospital in
Minneapolis receive instruction in biology,
chemistry, English, psychology, and sociology
at Augsburg. Application for admission to 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 is
accepted by the participating hospital for its
program. Augsburg College does not
guarantee acceptance by the hospitals.
ENGINEERING. Affiliation with Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science in St. Louis, Missouri enables a student to receive the Bachelor of Arts degree
from Augsburg College and an engineering
baccalaureate degree from Washington
University in a five-year program. The first
three years are spent at Augsburg and the last
two years at Washington University.
Each year the Conservation of Human
Resources office at Augsburg holds tuitionraising benefits to help pay for inmates'
matriculation in these co-learning courses.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY. A program in Corrective Therapy worked out in cooperation
with the Veterans administration Hospital,
Fairview Hospital, and Cambridge State Hospital, is available to students who complete a
major in physical education with specialization in Corrective Therapy.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Augsburg's summer
school calendar is coordinated with that of
Concordia College in St. Paul. Students who
enroll may select courses on either campus.
Two sessions are offered each summer.
Admission to the curriculum requires an application to be approved by the Director of
Physical Education. Application should be
made during the spring semester of the
sophomore year. Candidates are required to
have a 2.5 grade-point average in work completed in the major and a 2.0 grade-point
average over-all. All candidates should, as
soon as possible, consult with the Director of
Physical Education regarding proper sequence of courses.
Opportunities for Study Abroad
There are several types of international experience available to Augsburg 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
lnternational Programs.
STUDENT PROJECT FOR AMITY AMONG NATIONS (SPAN). 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 to enable them to
spend a summer in informal study in one of the
countries chosen. Applications to 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 on 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. These institutions are The University of Oslo, Norway;
Schiller College in London and Heidelberg;
Warnborough House College at Oxford, England; the lnstituto Allende at San Miguel de
Allende in Mexico; the Institute for American
Universities at Aix-en-Provence and Avignon
in France; The Goethe Institute in Germany;
The University of Hamburg, Germany; the
University of Seville, Spain; and the University
of Laval in Quebec. In addition, through the
Higher Education Consortium for Urban
Affairs, Augsburg students may take part in
the Scandinavian Urban Studies Term and
through the Experiment in lnternational Living, Augsburg students are offered study programs in Colombia, Denmark, England,
France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala,
India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Nepal, Spain,
Taiwan, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. This type of
study must be approved before departure by
the Director of International Programs, one's
faculty adviser, and the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing. Credit earned
through foreign study may be applied to the
student's graduation requirements as electives, as elements of the major sequence, or to
satisfy some of the general education requirements.
SUMMER SCHOOL. Again there is a wide
variety of possibilities for those who wish to
spend a summer studying abroad. Recently
Augsburg students have spent summers in
Norway, Spain, Mexico, France, Greece, Germany, and England. Those interested in
further information should contact the Director of lnternational Programs.
INTERIM. Study abroad during the interim is
planned for each year. See listings under the
Augsburg Interim Catalog and in the brochure
on Interims Abroad issued each spring for the
following January.
Honors Program
Some special accelerated course sections are
available to freshman students with outstanding high school records. For superior students
of all class years, interdisciplinary honors
seminars are offered each term.
Several departments of the College offer programs through which the student can earn
honors in the major. The opportunity to do independent study in fields of interest is available throughout the College.
For students who apply for and receive special
status as Honors Scholars, general education
requirements are modified as necessary to
meet the student's needs and interests. Addi-
tional information on the honors program is
available upon request from the Honors Program Director at Augsburg.

Therapy, and Social Work. Majors in Music
may select the program for either the Bachelor
of Arts or the Bachelor of Music degree. Graduates with majors in other fields receive the
Bachelor of Arts degree.
Your experiences in the classroom are major
influences in your college life. They need supplementing, however, by other activities and
opportunities. Whether as a resident student
or commuter, you'll find that the climate for
learning and living at Augsburg adds dimension to your education.
Social and Cultural
Throughout the year, avariety of social and
cultural activities takes place on campus as
well as in theTwin Cities. These activities include dances, special dinners, big name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various
fields.
The College Center is the focus of leisure-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 nonclassroom related interests meet in the Center.

regularly. The String Ensemble, the Choral
Club, the Jazz Ensemble, and several studentorganized groups such as the Cabaret Singers
also perform on and off campus. Several plays
are given on campus each year under the
direction of the theater arts department.
An important part of daily life at Augsburg is
religious activity. The Religious Life Commission, chaired by a student and composed of
students and faculty, sees its major responsibility in relation to worship, devotional life,
and the stimulation of faith through discussion
and service. Chapel services are held four
times a week and are both experimental and
traditional in character. Students, faculty and
staff attend voluntarily.

the themes of interpersonal identity, careerlifestyle planning, and utilizing the educational environment.
Reading and study skills assistance and tutoring are provided by the Center for Student
Development staff.
All members of the Augsburg faculty serve as
academic advisers. Advisers are assigned on
the basis of academic interests and students
are encouraged to establish close working
relationships with their adviser. The faculty
takes both a scholastic and personal interest
in students. Secondary Education students
may desire a second adviser: one in the major

New Dimensions Program
The New Dimensions Program is for adults
who have not attended or who have not graduated from college. The program provides admissions counseling, career guidance and
planning, a simplified time-saving registration
procedure, on-the-job experience prior to
graduation, and, for those who desire it, a
special course to ease the transition to
academic life.
The transitional course, "The Adult Student:
Issues and Challenges," is offered several
times a year. It includes self-assessment, testing, counseling, training and practice in study
skills, career exploration, and discussion of
personal and family problems arising from the
return to school. The course enables returning
adults to get to know each other through sharing experiences, problems, hopes and aspirations.
For further information, contact the New
Dimensions Office at Augsburg.
Housing
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 decision
making. Each residence unit has one or more
Resident Assistants who are able to facilitate
the process of group living as well as discuss
personal concerns with individual students.
Most new freshmen and many upperclassmen
live in Urness Tower. This eleven-story highrise houses 324. Each floor is considered a
house unit providing 36 students, two to a
room, with their own lounge, study, and utility
areas.
Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall,
is an alternative to traditional residence hall
living. It contains 104 one- and two-bedroom
apartments to accommodate 312 upperclass
students.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses about
60 upperclass men and women. Memorial's
special advantage is that it is large enough to
meet new people, but small enough to retain a
friendly, close atmosphere.
Another alternative option is Annex Housing
which provides a unique opportunity to try
group living. Groups of upperclass men or
women share living space, house responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are located in the
greater campus area.
Married student housing is available in annex
housing, Mortensen Tower and West Hall.
All freshmen and sophomores not living at
home are required to live in college-operated
housing.
Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned,
and contains kitchen units. It is otherwise unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses,
rooms are furnished except for bed linen,
towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence. An
optional rental linen service is available to students in residence halls and annex housing
units.
Students engage a room at the beginning of
the fall term for the entire school year. New
students receive room assignments during the
summer before they enroll at Augsburg. Upperclass students make housing arrangements in the spring. All resident students must
sign housing contracts.
Freshmen and transfer students are urged to
make the tuition deposit by June30 in order to
secure housing. Students who deposit after
June 30 will be provided housing only if space
is available.
All students living on campus are required to
pay a $25 breakage and fine deposit when they
sign the housing contract. The fee is refunded
upon graduation, transfer to another institu-
tion, or discontinuing the educational program
at Augsburg if the condition of the room and
furniture is satisfactory and the key is returned.
Food Service
The Commons, situated on the top floor of the
College Center, is the main food service facility. This pleasant room features small table
units for easy conversation and overlooks the
College Quadrangle and Murphy Square. The
portions are generous and modestly priced.
Students on board plan living in residence
halls eat their meals in the Commons.
The Chinwag, located on the ground floor of
the Center, features short orders and is open
through the noon hour and in the evenings.
Augsburg provides avariety of board plan options for those living in College houses or
nearby apartments.

with definitions as follows:
4.0 Achieves highest standards of 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 (no credit for
the course).
Most courses are also offered on a PassINo
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. On the PIN grading system the
grade is 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 average of two
courses per year.
Sociology 383, some education courses and
several interim courses are graded only on the
PIN grading system. Students are cautioned to

card those courses which they wish to take on
the PIN grading system. Any changes in
choice of grading system must be made during the first two weeks of the semester. A fee is
charged after the first three days of classes.

the case of 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.
A grade of X may be given for an Independent
Study or Directed Study course 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.
A course in which a grade of 0 , l .O, 1.5, N, I, or
X has been received may be repeated for credit. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are counted toward graduation and
in the grade point average. Courses in which
higher grades have been earned may not be
repeated for credit; they may, however, be
audited.
Graduation With Distinction
Graduation with distinction is determined as
follows:
Summa cum laude
Magna cum laude
Cum laude
3.9 - 4.0 grade average
3.6 - 3.89 grade average
3.3 - 3.59 grade average
lndependent Study
lndependent study programs are offered by
many departments in the College. These programs are often available to conscientious
students who can demonstrate sufficient
background and preparation in a given field to
carry out work on an independent basis. Students interested in registering for independent
study must first secure permission from the
faculty member who will direct the study as
well as from the department involved.
A student who registers for 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 in order to receive the final grade.
A maximum of two courses in lndependent
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 in which the independent study is proposed is not available
on their home campus. Requests for exceptions to this policy should be made directly to
their own academic dean. The student will be
charged for any special costs attached to independent study by the host campus.

Augsburg College and the Washington
University School of Engineering and Applied
Science (St. Louis, Missouri) are cooperating
in aThree-Two Plan of studies which will enable a student to earn the Bachelor of Arts
degree from Augsburg College and an

Chairman: Barbara Andersen
MAJOR: 9 courses, including 3 courses in
British literature (1 course from literature
before 1660), 1 course in American literature,
1 course in world literature (a course outside
the Anglo-American tradition), and course
219.
MAJOR FOR SECONDARY TEACHING:
10 courses, including those listed for the major and 320. A course in expository writing
(219) is required. Courses 250 and 438 recommended. Speech 111 or 352 or 355, and 360 or

topic of interest in the field of school library
service, worked out in consultation with a
faculty adviser. Open to juniors and seniors,
with department approval.
Engineering
dents accepted into the program will be
guaranteed admission to the Washington
University Engineering School, provided they
are recommended by a designated representative of Augsburg College. Students receiving
financial aid who are participants in the ThreeTwo Plan will be encouraged to apply to the
Washington University School of Engineering

Their applications will be evaluated using
need and academic performance as criteria.
Department of English
Honors thesis may be an independent study
program.
MINOR: 5 courses, including one course in
British literature, and either 219 or 320. Teaching minors must include both 219 and 320.
The English Department recommends but
does not require that English majors consider
developing an area of emphasis broader than
the major as listed above. The three most likely
areas would be a British concentration, an
American concentration, and a world concentration. A student arranges a concentration by
careful selection of elective courses 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 English department.
BRITISH LITERATURE CONCENTRATION.
Select from: History 412,416; English 271,331,
332,336,337,367,368,423,438, and sometimes 282, 490, 491.
AMERICAN LITERATURE CONCENTRATION.
Select from: History 221,222; American Studies 232; English 241,250,351,367,368, and
sometimes 282,490,491. A student with an
American literature concentration should take
some of the courses listed under the American
Studies major which are selected from the
offerings of several departments at Augsburg.
WORLD LITERATURE CONCENTRATION.
Select from: History 102,360,361; Philosophy
242,110,343,370; German 244; French 242;
Spanish 249; Scandinavian Studies 351, 352;
English 241,261,271,272,423, and sometimes
282, 490, 491.
A student electing a concentration should
work closely with his or her adviser. Interim
courses, special courses, and courses given at
the other cooperating colleges will often fit
well into a concentration. 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.

120 ETHICS
MAJOR: 9 courses, including 130,241,242,

Sometimes you say that a certain action is
right or condemn it as wrong. Why do 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. (Fall,

you? Does the conclusion follow from the
given premises? Here we examine the rules
which govern valid arguments and work to
develop your ability to recognize and construct sound arguments. (Fall, Spring)
110 GREAT PHILOSOPHERS OF ATHENS
241 HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY I: PLAT0 AND
ARISTOTLE
Socrates said that the unexamined life is not
worth living. We want you to take a look at
your beliefs to see whether or not they are
worth holding. What do you know? What
makes things what they are? Must you be able
to define the good before you can do it? These
and other questions will be looked at through
the eyes of the ancient Greek philosophers to
see what they have to say to modern man.
(Fall, Spring)
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? What did
Aristotle the scientist think of 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 II: MEDIEVAL
AND RENAISSANCE PHILOSOPHY
The Middle Ages are often regarded as a
period of darkness, whereas the Renaissance
was a time of 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, and
explore the worship of the world and the individual in the Renaissance. (Spring)
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 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)
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 linguistic analysis, pragmatism, existentialism, and phenomenology. (Spring)
350 PHILOSOPHY OF 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?
Is man really immortal? Are miracles possible? We intend to conduct a systematic inquiry into these questions which form the
basis of religious beliefs. (Spring, 1975)
355 ORIENTAL PHILOSOPHY
A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism,
Confucianism and Taoism. (Spring, 1976)
360 PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
Every day we use language to buy and sell,
praise and berate, communicate with friends.
What is 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? Is
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. (Fall, 1975)
365 PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
The scientist's knowledge of the world is 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. (Fall, 1976)
370 EXISTENTIALISM
Studies in the writings- both philosophical
and literary -of prominent Existentialist
authors. Attempt will be made to deal in depth
with such themes as absurdity, freedom, guilt,
despair, paradox, and the leap of faith. (Suggested: One prior course in philosophy)

AlMS A N D OBJECTIVES
Augsburg College is a Christian liberal arts college of The American Lutheran Church.
The faculty and the Board of Regents of the College affirm the following as their
understanding of the aims, philosophy, objectives and character of this institution.
ULTIMATE AlMS
To contribute to the true good of human life and society.
To contribute to the building of free and living congregations in the community of the
Christian Church.
BASIC PHILOSOPHY
The Christian message concerning the redemptive act of Cod in Christ constitutes the
greatest potential for good in human life and society; but this potential is realized only
insofar as it is actualized in the minds and hearts of individuals.
The redemption of the mind constitutes the unique educational task laid upon the
Christian Chl~rch;in seeking to relate all learning to the truth of the Christian faith,
the Christian college performs its greatest service both to the Church and to society.
Where there i s an atmosphere of free and honest inquiry, truth has the overwhelming
advantage; the Christian college, therefore, pursues its purposes not by indoctrination
or coercion, but by inviting teachers and students to join in a common search for truth
and in a common attempt to see all truth in relation to ultimate Truth.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
To attract to the college students of high ability and genuine religious concern who can
reap the maximum benefit from a program of Christian higher education.
To provide a campus setting that is conducive to the spiritual, mental, moral and
physical well-being of its students.
To stimulate its students' intellectual interest, and to assist them to develop the habits
and skills necessary for sound academic work.
To acquaint its students with the spiritual, cultural and intellectual riches of mankind,
both for the sake of the enrichment of their own lives and, through them, for the
enrichment of their homes and communities.
To confront its students with the problems and benefits of living and serving in an
increasingly urban culture.
To lead its students to a deeper understanding and experience of the Christian Gospel
in its relation to every area of life and learning.
To assist its students in discovering and clarifying their peculiar aptitudes and interests,
and to provide training and counsel that will assist them in preparing for a life work
appropriate thereto.
To aid its students in the development of Christian attitudes and Christian qualities
of character; and to encourage each student to look upon his life as a Christian vocation,
and an opportunity for service to God and man.
DlSTl NCTlVE CHARACTER
Augsburg College is a Christian community of life and learning.
As a Christian academic community, Augsburg seeks that high level of excellence which
i s appropriate to such a community.
Augsburg treasures its religious and cultural heritage as an institution founded by
Lutheran immigrants from Norway who sought to play a creative role in American life
and society, and seeks to preserve the enduring values of this heritage in the life of the
college community today.
As a metropolitan college, Augsburg attempts to relate its faculty and students to an
urban culture by utilizing the educational, social, cultural and religious resources of the
growing metropolitan community in which it is located.

tennis, and golf.
PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
It is the purpose of Augsburg College t o provide an intercollegiate athletic program which is in harmony
with its Christian philosophy. This philosophy is t o be reflected in the conduct and outlookof both the
players and the spectators. The educational program of the college recognizes that recreation and play
are a fundamental part of human life, and that this phase of life needs t o be cultivated if physical,
mental, and emotional health are t o be maintained. lntercollegiate athletics as a phase of that program,
gives recognition t o the fact that competitive play can contribute t o the development of student interests.
skills, insights, and loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1)The student participating in athletics should
acquire and exhibit, both in and out of athletics, such basic qualities of character as self-discipline,
honesty. sense of fair play, and cooperation. (2)The participant should develop the knowledge. interests.
and skills which will be of special use t o him in such vocations as teaching and coaching or recreational
leadership, or in his own recreational activities. Far from being set apart from his educational goal
or in any way competing with it, the student's participation in intercollegiate athletics must either
contribute directly t o this goal or be complementary t o his other educational activities. (3)The student
spectator should acquire and axhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such as
self-restraint, sense of fair play. appreciation of high-grade performance on the part of both opponents
and fellow-students, and respect for individual personality. (4)The intercollegiate athletic program
should contribute t o the development of a unified and health "school spirit." Enthusiasm for
intercollegiate athletics or other co-curricular activities should not overshadow pride in high scholastic
achievement, nor can it take the place of a well-rounded and effective intramural and general
recreational program.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
In order t o participate in certain extra-curricular activities, students must meet established eligibility
requirements. Organizations check eligibility of candidates by submitting a list t o the Director of the
College Center for approval.

STANDARDS AND DISCIPLINE
At Augsburg all of the work of the college rests on certain assumption about man, his relationship
t o himself, his relationship to others and his relationship t o God.As a church-related liberal arts
college. Augsburg attempts t o take these relationships seriously and therefore seeks t o educate the
whole man.
It is expected of each student that his life, conduct and influence, both on and off campus shall be
worthy of a member of a college community, and students who do not feel drawn t o this type of
community should not seek t o be enrolled at Augsburg College.
Without attempting t o dictate t o the individual conscience. the college reserves the right t o ask its
students t o adapt themselves t o the social and recreational program approved by the college. It
reserves the right t o dismiss any student whose continuation in college is deemed undesirable.
It is the policy of the college that such action shall be taken only after the available campus resources
of counseling and judicial processes have been utilized. Thus. disciplinary problems are first dealt with
through counseling. Those not solved this way are channeled t o a student/faculty Judicial Council
through the Office of the Dean of Students. In all cases, careful investigation and the privilege of a
hearing precede any disciplinary action.
In seeking t o develop a constructive recreational program. some limitations have been placed on
certain activities. The college is opposed t o all forms of gambling. The college does not allow the
posse~sionor consumption of alcoholic beverages in any college-owned building, in residence halls,

adjustment and personal deficiencies can interfere with the learning process and are dealt with in

understanding of themselves and the surrounding world, and a keener awareness of resources available
t o them as they meet the problems of daily life.

a good choice of subjects and occupational goals.
A special course in improvement of reading is offered for interested students. Freshmen w h o expect
difficulty w i t h the increased quantity and complexity of the reading material encountered in college
are especially urged t o enroll i n this course.
HOUSING AND FOOD SERVICE
In its residence program the college aims t o develop a student's character, self-control and thoughtful
consideration of others. The college also realizes that a student's happiness, comfort and emotional
adjustment in his place of residence are direct influences on his general efficiency in the classroom.
In an effort t o provide these opportunities for development. student residence councils assume the
responsibilities for the administration of dormitory life policies in consultation w i t h the head residents
and personnel deans.
Upper-class students serve as counselors in the residences and attempt t o help residents with problems
of personal adjustment. The head residents and personnel deans serve as resource people for these
counselors and handle cases referred t o them.
Any student who is 21 years old on or before the first day of classes in the Fall term may live off
campus. Juniors or Seniors who are not 21 years old may live off campus provided that a parental
permission form is on file in the Office of the Director of Housing by May 1.
All Freshmen and Sophomores not living at home are required t o live in college operated housing.
Students desiring t o live with relatives in the city must first secure approval for such an arrangement
from the Office of the Director of Housing.
All students living in residence halls take their meals in the Commons. The college also provides
a number of houses for upperclass men and women with a variety of board plan options.
Residence halls are open t o students no more than 2 4 hours before the day of registration or the
beginning of classes, and they close no later than 2 4 hours after a student's last examination or after
the beginning of a vacation period. Students who wish t o stay in residence during vacations must apply
for the privilege.
Rooms are furnished except for bed linen, towels, blankets and bedspreads. Laundry facilities are
available in each residence. Bed linens and towels may be rented with laundering service at a
reasonable cost. This service is required of all students in residence halls. An optional linen service
is available t o students living in houses.
Students engage a room at the beginning of the fall term for the entire school year. A room deposit
is required of upper-class students t o hold a room. This fee is payable at the Treasurer's Office by
May 1. Students who have not paid the room deposit by this date are automatically removed from
the housing roster. No refunds are made after July 1.
All students living on campus are required t o pay a $20 key and breakage fee at the beginning of
each school year. At the end of the year the fee is refunded if the condition of the room and furniture
is satisfactory and the key is returned.

S (satisfactory), P (pass). N (no credit) indicate level of achievement. Grades of W, S, P. N do not
affect the grade point average. A grade of WF is computed with 0 grade points per credit.
CONDITIONS AND INCOMPLETES
A condition or an incomplete received at the end of a term must be removed within the first five
weeks of classes of the following term. If conditions and incompletes are not removed within five weeks
of the following term, the condition automatically becomes a failure and the incomplete becomes the
grade submitted by the teacher along with the Incomplete. The final grade after the condition examination is taken may not be higher than D. A fee of $5 is charged for an examination making up an
incomplete or a condition received at the end of a term.
REPEATING COURSES
A course which has been failed or in which a D has been earned may be repeated for credit. Only
the credits and grade earned the second time are counted toward graduation. Courses in which higher
grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit; they may, however, be audited.
REGISTRATION
Students who have been accepted for admission should register on the days designated in the Calendar
for this purpose. Those who register late are charged a late registration fee of $1 per day after classes
begin. The last date on which a student may register for or enter a course is one week after the beginning
of classes. Registration for audit requires the same procedure as registration for credit. Audit registration is considered equal t o one-half the credit registration in determining laad and fees.
Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school.
No credit will be given a student for any subject for which he has not registered.
The college reserves the right t o cancel any course for which there is not sufficient registration.
The normal registration is 15 credit hours. A credit hour is normally defined as one recitation period
a week throughout a term. The privilege of registering for more than 17 credit hours is granted t o
students who have gained an average record of B, or three grade points per credit, in the preceding
term. No student is permitted t o carry work for more than 19 credits per term. Students working
part-time are urged t o arrange the amount of their registration accordingly.
CHANGE OF REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION
A student who desires t o make a change in his registration should obtain a form from the Registrar's
Office. A fee of $2 is charged for each change of registration after the first three days of classes.
No course may be added after the first week of classes.
A course which is cancelled during the first eight weeks of classes is followed by W. No course may
be cancelled after the eighth week of classes.
A student who finds it necessary t o leave school before the end of a term must cancel his registration
at the Registrar's Office in order t o remain i n good standing.
CLASSIFICATION
In order t o be classified as full-time, a student must be carrying a minimum of 12 hours of work
in which college credit is given. Classification is based on the attainment of the following number
of credit hours and grade points:
Sophomore
Junior
Senior
Credits
36
84
130
Grade Points
72
168
260
Students are classified by this regulation at the time of their registration each school year.
Non-degree students are classified as special students. Students carrying less than 1 2 credits are
part-time students.
PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
A student may be placed on scholastic probation at the endof a term if his achievement is unsatisfactory. The following guidelines are used in-placing a student on probation:
Freshmen with a cumulative GPA below 1.5
Sophomores with a cumulative GPA below 1.6
Juniors with a cumulative GPA below 1.8
Seniors with a cumula.tive GPA below 2.0
A student will be removed from probation when his cumulative GPA exceeds the minimum listed
above,
If a student has been on probation 2 or more terms consecutively he is subject t o 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 spring term, but if he wishes t o do so he may continue on probation
until the end of the spring term.
Dismissal from the college at the end of the spring term will not be automatic. Each case will be
reviewed by the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing.
A student who has been on probation for t w o terms and withdraws from the college voluntarily must
have special permission t o re-enroll.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Regular class attendance is required of all students in lower division courses. Attendance in upper
division courses is voluntary for juniors and seniors unless required by the teacher of the class.
In classes for which attendance is required, a record of attendance is kept and periodic reports on
absences are submitted to the Registrar.
Students who find it necessary t o be absent because of illness or for other reasons should report
the reasons for the absence t o their teachers. For prolonged absence of over one week due t o illness.
the student may obtain an excuse signed by the Health Service if this is requested by the teacher.
Students with an excessive number of absences not excused by the teacher may be dropped from
the course with a grade of F.
Absences for tours, field trips, and other instructor-arranged activities are cleared with the Dean
of the College. Lists of participants. with information as t o exact periods absent, are issued by the
Dean t o all instructors involved, but the student is still responsible for any work missed.
Teachers deal with tardiness as they see fit. Students arriving in class late must assume responsibility
for reporting their presence to the teacher.
EXAM INATIONS
Tests are given periodically throughout each term. In the middle of the fall term, reports of the grades
attained by freshmen are made to the Registrs: who forwards them t o the students, parents, and
advisers. Final reports are sent at the end of each term t o the parents. students, and advisers.
Written examinations are regularly scheduled at the close of each term. No student or class may
arrange to take a final examination in any course before the examination week.
Absence from a final examination will result in a grade of failure unless the student presents a reasonable excuse immediately to the teacher concerned.
If a student has obtained permission from the Dean of the College or the Registrar t o take a final
examination at another hour than that scheduled, he is charged a fee of $ 1 0 for such an examination.
Before he takes the examination, he must obtain a signed statement from the Dean or Registrar and
bring it t o the teacher concerned.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS
Comprehensive examinations may be permitted in courses in which the Committee on Admissions
and Student Standing believes the student has adequate preparation or background. Students who wish
t o take a comprehensive examination must apply in writing t o this committee. When permission is
granted. the necessary approval forms may be secured at the Office of the Registrar. A fee of $5
($10 for students not currently enrolled) is charged for each credit hour and must be paid in advance.
Examination questions and the answers will be filed in the Registrar's Office.
UNIVERSITY COURSES
By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students may register for courses at the University.
But such registrations will not be allowed unless the student has a C average in his courses at Augsburg.
Also, the combined number of credits in any term must not exceed 17. The credits thus gained at
the University may be transferred t o Augsburg College and counted towards graduation.
SPEClAL PROGRAMS OF STUN
AFFILIATION WITH SCHOOLS OF NURSING
Student nurses in the Schools of Nursing at the Lutheran Deaconess, Fairview, and Methodist hospitals
in Minneapolis receive some of their instruction at Augsburg College. Application for admission to the
Schools of Nursing should be made to the hospitals directly.
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
In cooperation with the Hennepin County General and Swedish hospitals, Augsburg offers work which
enables the student 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 two hospitals.
SPAN
Augsburg participates in the SPAN (Student Project for Amity among Nations) program. This is a
joint venture of the University of Minnesota and several colleges in the state. Qualified students are
selected to spend a summer in informal study abroad. Applications are made in the spring of the
sophomore year.
JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD
Arrangements have been made under which Augsburg College students may spend their sophomore
or junior year in study at a number of European educational institutions. These institutions are: The
University of Oslo, Norway; Schiller College and The Goethe lnstitute in Germany; and The lnstitute
for American Universities at Aix-en-Provence in France. Study at other institutions may be possible
through special arrangements. Applications for such foreign study must be approved by the Committee
on Admissions and Student Standing. In addition, the student's program of study while in Europe must
be approved by his faculty adviser prior to making application to the Committee on Admissions and
Student Standing. A year of foreign study is recommended only for students with good scholastic records
whose programs of study can be followed satisfactorily at the institutions chosen. Credit earned through
foreign study can usually be applied to the student's graduation requirements as electives or,
occasionally, as elements of his major sequence. Such credit ordinarily does not satisfy the general
education requirements with some exceptions such as the study of a foreign language.
CORRECTIVE THERAPY
A program in CorrectiveTherapy worked out in cooperation with the Veterans Administration Hospital,
Fairview Hospital, and Cambridge State Hospital, is available to students who complete a major in
physical education with specialization in Corrective Therapy.
Admission to the curriculum requires an application to be approved by the Director of Physical
Education. Application should be made during the spring term of the sophomore year. Candidates are
required to have a 2.5 grade-point average in work completed in the major and a 2.0 grade-point
average over-all. All candidates should, as soon as possible, consult with the Director of Physical
Education regarding proper sequence of courses.
HONORS PROGRAM
For superior freshman students, some special accelerated sections are available in such subjects as
philosophy and history. For superior students of all classes, special colloquia (interdisciplinary honors
seminars) are offered each term. Some departments of the college offer programs through which the
student can earn honors in his major field. One provision available throughout the college that is of
particular value to able students is the opportunity to do independent study in fields of interest. For
students who apply for and receive special status as Honors Scholars, General Education requirements
are modified as necessary to meet a student's needs and interests. Students of high ability who are
r
t:.
.his
'.
I
interested in pursuing an honors curriculum are invited to write to the Director of the Honors Program
for information regarding the Honors Programs which may be open to them. Honors students are
selected on the basis of previous academic achievement and test results.
NORTH-SOUTH STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM
In order to promote better understanding in the area of race relations and to encourage better cultural
exchange between the students of Augsburg College and colleges in the South, Augsburg has entered
into an agreement with various southern colleges whereby an interchange of students may take place.
This exchange may take place during either the second or third term, or both, depending upon the
schedules of.the cooperating colleges.
In order to qualify for the exchange program, the Augsburg student must secure the approval of
his/her parents (if he/she is a minor), hisher major adviser, and various college officials. A further
general requirement is approval by the student exchange board which will, among other things, require
a grade-point average of at least 2.50.
Further details and application forms may be secured from the office of the Dean or the President
of the Student Society.
-
THE PASS/NO CREDIT GRADING SYSTEM
A Pass/No Credit grading system is available to juniors and seniors, applicable to a maximum of
one course per term. The provisions of the system are as follows:
1. Juniorsand Seniors only may choose to be graded on the basis of Pass/No Credit instead of a
regular grade for a maximum of one course in any one term.
2. The Pass/No Credit option may not be applied to courses in the student's major field.
3. Each department of the college shall determine which, if any, of the courses it offers may not
be taken by any student on a Pass/No Credit basis. Students will be informed by the Registrar's
Office at each registration day of the courses which may not be taken under the system.
4. Although credits earned under the system will be counted toward fulfilling the requirements for
graduation, Pass/No Credit grades will not be used in computing the student's Grade Point
Average.
5. The student must exercise the option of taking a course under the Pass/No Credit grading system
at the timeof his registration for the course, and may not change after the end of the first week
of the term.
6. Under the Pass/No Credit grading system, the grade of 'S'shall be assigned to the student earning
the equivalent of a grade from 'A'to 'C'; the grade of 'N'to the student earning the equivalent
of a grade from 'D' to 'F'.
MULTI-RACIAL CONCERNS
Augsburg College offers a core of courses which enable students to earn approximately 50 credits in
courses centered on multi-racial concerns. These courses are offered in American Studies and in the
departments of English, History, and Sociology. In addition, students may enroll in Interdisciplinary
Studies which include courses in Black History and Culture, offered at the University of the Way; and
at times they may be able to participate in an experimental program in which they live in an area
of the city where they can study the dynamic forces of the area firsthand and become involved in
the urban problems characteristic of that area. Other courses on multi-racial concerns are being
planned.
In addition, several courses, particularly in the departments of English, History, and Sociology, include
material dealing with multi-racial concerns in a wider context. The interested student should confer
with the chairmen of these departments.
AUGSBURG SUMMER SCHOOL
Two summer sessions of six and four weeks, respectively, permit students to earn up to a full term's
credits in the Augsburg Summer School.
In 1970, the first session is set for June8 through July 17, the second session running from July 20
through August 14.
In addition to morning classes, most of which meet five times each week, a number of courses will
be taught evenings during the first term, meeting twice a week for about three hours.
Eligibleto attend Augsburg Summer School are present students and graduates of Augsburg and
of other accredited colleges and universities, as well as recent high school graduates whose class
standing and scores in college aptitude examinations indicate a high probability of success in college
work.
Summer School courses are offered subject to demand. Early preregistration will help to assurethe
availability of desired courses, and, depending

LAW
College preparation for law school is flexible, and does not require a specific course of
study or a particular major. Students considering law as a profession are urged to study
the requirements and suggested curricula for the following majors: American Studies,
English, History, Political Science.
While any of the above majors is appropriate as a pre-law curriculum, other majors
are also highly acceptable. For most law schools a broad background in the liberal arts
constitutes a better preparation than specialization and expertise in narrower fields.
While not all law schools require a baccalaureate degree as a condition for admission,
it i s normally to the advantage of the student to have completed his undergraduate degree
program.
Nearly all law schools in the United States require applicants to take a standardized
Law School Admission Test, administered several times each year at prescribed times.
Students interested in law as a possible vocation should contact the pre-law adviser,
chairman of the Department of Political Science.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Students may complete a course of instruction leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in medical technology by completing three years of academic work at Augsburg
College and twelve months of internship at General Hospital or Swedish Hospital in Minneapolis. A minimum of 24 credits each of biology and chemistry, and one term of mathematics, is required. A college course in physics is strongly recommended. The program outlined
prepares students for certification in medical technology and it also includes the Augsburg
graduation requirements. Many modifications of this program are possible; one popular
alternative is substitution of Chemistry 15, 16 for Chemistry 5, 6. In the senior year, students
taking this program must register at Augsburg as well as at the affiliated hospital.

MEDICINE
Since most pre-medical students at Augsburg have gone to the Medical School of the University of Minnesota, the following is based on its requirements for admission. Information
for other medical schools may be obtained from "Medical School Admissions Requirements," published by the Association of American Medical Colleges, and available in the
Augsburg library. It is the responsibility of the individual student to see that he has completed the requirements for admission to the medical schools to which he intends to make
application.
The "Minimum Requirements" for the Medical School, University of Minnesota, as trarislated into courses at Augsburg College, are as follows:
Credits
Biology 11, I 2
Chemistry 15,16
Chemistry 51,52

Medical schools emphasize the word "minimum" in listing their minimum requirements.
In addition to the required courses, pre-medical students are encouraged to take additional
courses in the sciences, especially if the student is interested in an academic career in
medicine or medical research. Broad studies in the liberal arts are highly desirable.
Pre-medical students normally complete a major in biology, chemistry, or natural science. The requirements for a biology major are shown under Department of Biology; for
a chemistry major under Department of Chemistry; for a natural science major under
Curriculums. Students are strongly urged to consult these departments or the Medical
School Advisory Committee early for advice on scheduling these majors.
