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.

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.

(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.

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.

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, and in the modern American medical system that sustains its own rituals. In some cultures, formal or informal religious practices may be integral to the ritual of ceremony and healing. In modern American culture, the perceived division between the mind, body, and spirit has led to ritual and ceremony being considered adjunctive to the scientific approach to healing. Students will have an opportunity to interact with persons who integrate ritual and ceremony into their lives and healthcare practices. Students will also discuss the meaning of ritual and ceremony to their own lives and professional practice. NUR 532 Transcultural Healing Practices This course will introduce students to complementary healing practices including the historical and cultural contexts in which they developed. Students will discuss the philosophical underpinnings of therapeutic systems and paradigms of healing in selected complementary therapies.

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. Leadership Orientation Toward Action Sense of Vision Ethical • Social awareness • Environmental awareness • Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences • Appreciation of situational complexity Creative • • • • Long-term perspective Flexibility Adaptability Innovativeness Facility for Persuasion Communicative • • • • • • Risk Assumptive • Curiosity • Achievement motivation • Self-esteem Effective listener Effective speaker Effective writer Diplomatic ability Effective team member Interpersonal sensitivity Culturally Aware • Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of individual differences Decisive • • • • • Self-confidence Analytical ability Ability to think critically Understanding of research Ability to manage conflict - 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. CORE COURSES FOR THESIS/LAP OPTION (PLAN A): (3.5 course credits) The following core courses are required for all Thesis/LAP students in the MAL program: ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation I ML 593 Thesis/LAP Consultation II (0.5 course) CORE COURSES FOR NON-THESIS OPTION (PLAN B): (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 580 Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 597 Non-Thesis Independent Project CORE COURSES FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE EXAM SEMINAR OPTION (PLAN C): (4.0 course credits) ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 580 Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 589 Comprehensive Exam Seminar - ELECTIVE COURSES FOR ALL OPTIONS: (at least 7.0 course credits) The MAL program requires that seven elective courses be selected from the following course list: - ML 511 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process ML 520 Self-Identity, Values, and Personal Growth ML 521 Methods of Critical Thought ML 525 Personality and Systems Theory: Perspectives on Leadership ML 527 Spirituality and Leadership in the Workplace ML 530 Ethics in Communication ML 531 The Dynamics of Change ML 535 Organizational Theory and Leadership ML 539 Communicating a Self in the Modern Organization ML 540 Political Leadership: Theory and Practice ML 545 Decision Making and Leadership ML 548 Coaching and Consulting ML 550 Communication, Decision Making, and Technology ML 557 Language of Leadership ML 560 Developing a Multicultural Perspective ML 565 Women and Leadership ML 568 The Global Business Environment ML 580 Colloquium on Contemporary Theories of Leadership ML 598 Independent Study (special permission required) ML 599 Topics: special courses offered only once or twice ML 500 Leadership Practicum The MAL program sponsors professional development workshops and seminars.

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.

[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, 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.

Show more 2002-2005 My life-changing experience in the Augsburg MAL Program has provided me with a strong foundation to pursue a leadership role in both my personal and professional life. In addition to being a strong, challenging program, it is also geared toward flexibility to accommodate the adult learner. A program in my opinion that goes unmatched! -Ann Dejongh 02 1 MASTER OF ARTS Attaining the MAL degree was a transforming experience both personally and professionally. It increased my self-confidence, enabled me to recognize and develop my strengths, and also provided a valuable networking opportunity with fellow students and faculty. -Luann Watson '02 IN LEADERSHIP INTRODUCTION The primary mission of the Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) at Augsburg College is to develop leaders for organizations and the community. The core program of the center is the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL). The program, which was launched in 1987, responds to the leadership development needs of both profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible, extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and other abilities fundamental to effective leadership. ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are careeroriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals, seeking a balance of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and dialogue. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours. COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the Augsburg library, computer labs , and Christensen Center. The Center for Leadership Studies also offers some special colloquia and seminars each year to supplement and complement the course work of the master's program. A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM PERIOD I Saturday 8:00 a.m . to 12:00 noon PERIOD II Saturday 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II; on average two meetings a month. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that 1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are a broad range of abilities and awareness, outlined in the Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's model of leadership development is designed to assess , promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the individual. Leadership Orientation Toward Action Sense of Vision Ethical • Social awareness • Environmental awareness • Tolerance of religious and philosophical differences • Appreciation of situational complexity Creative • • • • Long-term perspective Flexibility Adaptability Innovativeness Facility for Persuasion Communicative • • • • • • Risk Assumptive • Curiosity • Achievement motivation • Self-esteem - Effective listener Effective speaker Effective writer Diplomatic ability Effective team member Interpersonal sensitivity Decisive • • • • • Self-confidence Analytical ability Ability to think critically Understanding of research Ability to manage conmct Culturally Aware • Appreciation for cultural differences • World-view perspective • Tolerance of individual differences There are two ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/ LAP) Option, students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option, students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis. Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners. Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative abilities. THESIS/LAP OPTION Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities. The principal distinction between the thesis and the Leadership Application Project lies in their underlying orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project is based on practical application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592, 593, and 594. Differences between these two options will be explored in ML 514 Research Methods and in ML 593 Leadership Research Seminar I. For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP option, refer to the Information and Guidelines for the Thesis and Leadership Application Project booklet. Students who do not complete their thesis or Leadership Application Project while enrolled in ML 594 Leadership Research Seminar II are required to pay a continuation fee. - NON-THESIS OPTION An alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers, as described below. The first of these papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual colloquium. Students who do not complete their independent project while enrolled in ML 597 are required to pay a continuation fee. For more information regarding the Non-Thesis option, refer Project booklet. to the Information and Guidelines for the Non-Thesis CORE COURSES FOR THESIS/LAP OPTION: (3.5 course credits) The following core courses are required for all Thesis/LAP students in the MAL program: ML 510 Visions of Leadership ML 514 Research Methods ML 592 Thesis/LAP Consultation (0.5 course) ML 592 is taken in conjunction with ML 594.

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.

Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the program a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities such as the library, meeting rooms and college center; to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. leadership Practicum . I· Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course called "Leadership Practicum."

Assessment instruments include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal goal setting and in the creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint:' In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group processes, and other professional development topics identified by graduate students and staff. "Leadership Practicum'' concludes with a final assessment followed by an individual meeting with a trained assessor. The Master of Arts in Leadership program is composed of 12 courses. Each course unites two or more liberal arts disciplines, ncournge pursuit of the designated outcomes, and uses a variety of learning t clrniqu app ropriate to adult learners.

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

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

Augsburg Weekend College offers this license to people who already hold a bachelor's degree and meet admissions requirements, as well as to people seeking a bachelor's degree. Licensure requirements are offered at undergraduate/ graduate level. That means classes will consist of both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. The graduate course numbers are taken at the 500 level. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and between four and six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EDC 480/580 EED 320/520 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (l.O) * Special Needs Learner (I.O) * School and Society (1.0) K-6 Methods: Reading (l.O) * To complete the license, you will also need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE ll5 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) EED 310 K-6 Methods: Health/PE (.5) EED 330 K-6 Methods: Children's Lit./Lit.

A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS The number of supporting liberal arts courses required for licensure depends upon the courses taken previously as part of the bachelor's degree. Requirements are determined by: I Minnesota licensure standards for specific college level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. I Minnesota licensure standards in a specialty area for middle school. Subject area specialties are offered in language arts, social studies, math, and science. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. In limited cases, life experience can be considered as a substitute for specific program requirements. In such cases students must provide significant evidence of competency in the affected standards. The College's Applicat~on of Prior Learning (APL) process is used as a framework. The Education Department determines what is accepted. - K-12 and 5-12 licensures in several content areas are offered in Weekend College through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Education requirements are offered primarily on a weekend schedule (along with a limited number of weekday evening courses) . Graduate-level licensure coursework is available to people who already hold a bachelor's degree and meet admissions criteria. The following majors are offered almost entirely through Weekend College: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), studio art. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and four to six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. People seeking 5-12 licensure in social studies and biology, chemistry, or physics must complete a broad-based core of courses in their selected field in addition to the major. Previous coursework is accepted when appropriate. This is part of the evaluation of major coursework. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EDC 480/580 ESE 300/500 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (l.O) * Special Needs Learner (l.O) * School and Society (1.0) Reading and Writing in Content Area (l.O) To complete the license, students also will need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 Chemical Dependency (.5) EDC 220 Educational Technology (.5) ESE 325 Creating Learning Environments (l.O)* ESE 3XX K-12 or 5-12 Special Methods (1.0 -2.0)* ESE 481 , 483, 485 Student Teaching (2.0-3.0) *Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS The equivalent of a major in a content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licensure. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Additional coursework tied to licensure standards is generally required. - The following majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health and physical education, theatre/dance, mathematics. LICENSURE COMPONENT Learning Disabilities Core There are two licensure options in the K-12 Special Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities, and learning disabilities. Both of these programs qualify you to teach in special education programs and positions. Many students get licensure in both emotional/behavioral and learning disabilities. Students wishing to earn a Learning Disabilities licensure in addition to a Emotional/Behavioral licensure will take the above courses in the Emotional/Behavioral core, and two additional specialty courses. Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities Core SPE 434/534 The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to six may also be applied toward the master's degree in education. EDC 200/522 EDC 206/566 EDC 310/533 EDC 410/544 EED 320/520 SPE 400/500 SPE 410/510 Orientation to Education (1.0) * Diversity/Minnesota American Indians (1.0) Learning and Development (1.0) * Special Needs Learner (1.0) * K-6 Methods: Reading (l.O)* Teaching Students with Emot./Behavioral Disabilities (1.0)** Implementing Assessment Strategies SPE 420/520 SPE 430/530 Planning, Design, and Delivery (1.0) ** Instructional and Behavioral Practices SPE 440/540 Parent and Professional Planning (1.0)** SPE 424/524 Etiology and Origins of Learning Disabilities (l.O)** Teaching Content Areas to Students with Learning Disabilities (1.0)** A student wishing to earn only a Learning Disabilities licensure would take all of the Emotional/Behaviorial Disabilities core class as well, with the exception of SPE 4 30/530 Instructional and Behavioral Practices.

Students currently working in schools can often use their school employment for their field experience. **These courses are taken during the internship year. A significant amount of contact with students labeled EBD or LD is required. The ideal situation for the internship year is to be working in a K-12 setting with these students. Students not currently employed in schools must be available for extensive volunteer field placements during the internship year. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Eligibility To be eligible to apply to the Special Education program, students must: I have college credits, an associate degree, or degree and/or licensure in another field; and I be currently employed in a K-12 setting as a paraprofessional or licensed teacher; and/or I have experience working with students who are labeled with emotional, behavioral, or learning disabilities, as well as considerable time available for volunteer field placements. - Innovative Model This program is based on an internship model that allows coursework and experience to occur simultaneously In addition to student teaching, students must complete two 40-hour field placements where they will gain experience working with students from age groups different from their internship site. This program is built on an inclusive education model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and regular educators to facilitate inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Augsburg College also offers a K-12 Reading Endorsement program. This endorsement has been established to provide teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their knowledge and practices in the area of reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete 4.5 credits of coursework that have been designed to meet the requirements established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill requirements for the Master of Arts in Education degree. These courses include: EED 520 K-6 Methods: Reading (LO)* ESE 500 Reading/Writing in the Content Areas (LO)* EDC 505 K-12 Literature in the Classroom (.5) EDC 508 K-12 Reading Assessment and Evaluation (LO) EDC 510 Clinical and Reading Program Leadership (LO) EED 320/520 and ESE 300/500 are offered to both undergraduate and graduate students. EED 320/520 is part of the elementary and special education initial licensure programs, and ESE 300/500 is part of the secondary initial licensure program. The rigor of the course is increased for those taking it at the graduate level. The following policies apply for licensed teachers seeking the reading endorsement: I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg College or completers of Augsburg licensure programs within the past seven years will not be required to retake the entire version of EED 520 or ESE 500. However, they will be expected to complete the requirement for the graduate portion of the course that they may have taken at the undergraduate level (EED 320 or ESE 300) within the context of a half-credit graduate level independent study. If the graduate level of the course was taken as part of the initial license (EED 520 or ESE 500) within the past seven years, students do not need to repeat it or do the independent study. I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduate/completers of Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be required to take EED 520 and/or ESE 500 at the graduate level. I Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are not graduates of Augsburg College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500 at the graduate level as part of the endorsement program. STUDENT TEACHING All education students are required to complete student teaching in their content area. In the MAE program, student teaching is completed after the core education classes are completed, but before the master's completion electives and final project. Student teaching generally lasts for 12 weeks; however, it may vary slightly for some specific content areas. During that time, students work full time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for two credits of student teaching, and meet at Augsburg College for a student teaching seminar three times during the term. Most placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. However, students do have the opportunity to teach abroad, where students do half of the student teaching experience in the metro area, and the remaining portion in another country. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful opportunity to build a global perspective in education. - Students progress in graduate coursework during the licensure program. The licensure coursework forms the Master of Arts in Education core, with up to six Augsburg graduate-level licensure courses fulfilling the master's requirements. Declaration of Intent to Complete Students who have been admitted into the MAE program must formally declare their intent to complete the master's degree beyond licensure. This can be done any time during coursework, and up to one year after completing student teaching. Students have seven years to complete the degree after filing the intent to complete form The declaration of intent is made to the MAE program coordinator. Graduate-level courses in which a 3.0 or better is achieved will be accepted into the degree program. If a graduate course is graded 2.5 it can be accepted into the MAE degree completion program as long as the cumulative GPA remains at 3.0 or higher. A maximum of two courses at 2.5 can be used to complete the MAE degree. Students need nine graduate-level courses to complete the MAE. Between four and six courses can be drawn from the appropriate core; the remaining courses will be education or leadership requirements and electives. Once graduate-level students have declared their intent to complete the master's degree, they are eligible to take Master of Arts in Leadership and other education graduate courses. If education graduate courses are used as electives in the degree completion component, they must be drawn from a pool of education non-licensure courses offered at the graduate level. In most cases students will complete the licensure component prior to the graduate degree. The MAE program is also open to students seeking a master's degree without licensure. Students taking this path file Intent to Complete forms with the MAE program director prior to taking their first graduate-level course. The same GPA standards apply (3.0 or better on coursework) and the core of the graduate program is made up of four to six graduate-level licensure courses, plus the degree completion options outlined for those seeking licensure. The difference is that these students are not required to complete the undergraduate courses in education and liberal arts that are required for licensure. Graduate Degree Completion To earn a master's degree beyond the core of education classes, students will need to successfully complete a minimum of three additional graduate-level courses. They are: I A research methods course, typically ML 514 I An elective course, chosen from leadership-focused courses in the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) program (see page 11) I A research- or leadership-based final project Students bringing fewer than six graduate-level licensure courses into the degree program must complete additional leadership or education graduate courses to reach the total of nine required courses. - The research methods course will help prepare students to evaluate and document research for use in their final project or paper. In this course, both qualitative and quantitative research methods will be examined. The leadership elective courses allow students to examine issues of leadership at a personal or institutional level. The goal for the graduate degree completion component is to foster the development of teachers as leaders within the institution and community as is in line with our program theme and department mission statement. FINAL PROJECT OPTIONS Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Education final project, which serves as the capstone of the master's program: a Leadership Application Project or action research. LEADERSHIP ELECTIVE OPTIONS The Leadership Application Project is a research-based study that links issues of leadership and education with the degree candidate's personal interests. The character of the project will vary with the nature of the investigation and the materials involved, but will always be application oriented. The central component of the Leadership Application Project is the demonstration of leadership ability through a concrete research-based project appropriate to the candidate's workplace or place of service. Students taking this option will register for EDC 585 Independent Study and work closely with a project adviser from Augsburg College. ML510 Visions of Leadership ML 511 Creativity and Problem-Solving ML 520 Self Identity, Values, and Personal The second option is action research in education. Action research is a collaborative, self-reflective research method designed to be used in real situations, and is aimed at solving real problems. The goal of action research is to gain better knowledge of one's practice while improving the situation in which the practice is conducted. This option is composed of two half-credit courses taken in sequential terms. The first course, EDC 586, introduces students to action research, a form of research that simultaneously contributes to the practical concerns of people while furthering the goals of social science. The second course, EDC 587, is focused on collecting and analyzing data. It culminates in a symposium where students present their research in a public forum.

The central component of the Leadership Application Project is the demonstration of leadership ability through a - Admission into the Master of Arts in Education program is a two-step process: admission into Augsburg College Graduate Studies, and admission into the Education Department. AUGSBURG GRADUATE ADMISSION Immediate graduate admission requires applicants to hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four-year college or university with a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (on a scale of A= 4.0). Any graduate courses taken will also be factored into the cumulative grade point average. However, if an applicant holds a graduate degree with at least a 3.0 grade point average, he or she is waived from holding a minimum undergraduate cumulative grade point average . ·.· . Applicants with cumulative grade point averages between 2.5 - 3.0 will be admitted to the undergraduate-level licensure program until they achieve a 3.0 or better in 2.0 courses at Augsburg College. Decisions about admission to the program will be made on an individual basis by the Education Department Admissions Committee.

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 1.0 Achieves the minimum passing standard 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 nonpunitive-not computed in 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. 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 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. 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 Weekend College class schedule and on the Weekend College Web site <www.augsburg.edu/weccurrent> and on the registrar's Web page at <www.augsburg.edu/enroll/registrar>. - FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM A joint Augsburg College-federally funded program administered through the College for students who demonstrate financial eligibility.

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

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

This consequently determines how one lives his or her life. Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 9 GENERAL INFORMATION History Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. The Campus and Its Location Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation, and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center is located in Delta dormitory. 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Philosophy and Objectives Colden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Colden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, mission, administrative assistant, law enforcement, and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semi-professional program. Colden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... to develop knowledge of the Judeo-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments. to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations. to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in the metropolitan area. to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and through participation in physical education and sports activities. to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people, and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. GENERAL INFORMATION 11 Accreditation and Transfer of Credit Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. A student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College.

The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships. New Student Pre-Registration Prior to the start of the fal I quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. Counseling Services The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Health Services The College has a full-time registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible. 14 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Library The library, located on the ground floor of the Main building, provides a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula. There are over 32,000 volumes, 245 periodicals, local and national newspapers, and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including phonograph records and cassettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary listening and viewing equipment available to the students. Insurance The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies that will cover losses of family members at college. Housing Services Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in the cateteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21-meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in the College cafeteria. Student Government and Social Life A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life more enjoyable. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. Guidance regarding student life on campus is provided by the Student Life Handbook. STUDENT LIFE 15 Religious Life As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services, all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are coordinated by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith & Life Commission. Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in world mission activities. The College has a fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part. There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to present the Gospel in word and song. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. Chapel is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a sense of community. Each student is encouraged to participate in chapel programs of the college community and to attend public worship every Sunday. Student Use of Automobiles Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the Business Office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit at any time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles. 16 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Alcohol and Drug Abuse Colden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs.

COSTS 21 COSTS Student Costs 1985-86 The following sections explain the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room or fees at any time. The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year. Therefore, over and above any financial aid given, each student receives the equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total expenses of the operation. The College does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from corporations. Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three-year period. As we make our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these many friends.

Other Assistance Programs College Payment Schedule: Because many people prefer to pay educational expenses in installments, Golden Valley Lutheran College has set up a tuition payment plan. This plan is a convenient payment program beginning in June and ending in February. Hidden Subsidy: Golden Valley Lutheran College gives a "hidden subsidy" each year to every student who attends the College as a full-time student. This "hidden subsidy" reflects the fact that the total instruc- FINANCIAL AID 27 tional program at the College costs more than the total amount received from tuition and fees. Such a "hidden subsidy" is made possible by many gifts from many sources, especially church congregations, alumni, and friends of the College. The College also receives income from endowment funds. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan: If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same rates described under Federal Insured Student Loans. Other Grants: There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at Golden Valley Lutheran College for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid 1. Apply and be accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Request an application form from the Office of Admissions, Golden Valley Lutheran College, 6125 Olson Highway, Golden Valley, MN 55422. 2. If you are applying only for Golden Valley Lutheran College scholarships and grants, and not for state or federal grants, indicate this on the Golden Valley Lutheran College Financial Aid Application. 3. To apply for federal or Minnesota aid you must complete a Family Financial Statement (FFS) and a Student Data Form using income information for the 1984 tax year and submit it to ACT. Forms are available from your high school guidance counselor or by writing the Office of Admissions at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Although the FFS is preferred, non-Minnnesota residents may submit the CSS Financial Aid Form. Allow six to eight weeks for processing of the ACT Family Financial Statement. 4. Since all financial aid programs have limited funds, within ten days of our notifying you that you will receive financial aid you must let us know that you accept the offer. Funds that are not accepted are given to other students who need them. All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year. Students, however, may expect to receive financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded from College funds for the quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. Golden Valley Lutheran College makes every effort to enable all accepted students to attend regardless of financial resources. Your financial need may be met through a combination of federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs. We encourage students and parents to visit campus to discuss financial planning. 28 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Scholarships The AAL Lutheran American Minority Scholarship Program is available for any Lutheran American minority person who is a member of a Lutheran church, or is an immigrant who has been sponsored by a Lutheran organization and is attending Golden Valley Lutheran College.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ACADEMIC PROGRAM Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on their major and other requirements during the last two years of college. General education courses invite the student to learn about the world, the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. General Academic Information Credit load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of credits attempted. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Honor Points Grade Per Credit A Superior 4 B Above Average 3 Average 2 D Below Average 1 F Failure 0 c I v w WF s u Incomplete* Audit Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** 2 for J.C.C. only *A grade of I will be granted to a student for reasons beyond the student's control if the student has done satisfactory work prior to the emergency and after consultation by the student with the course instructor. Incomplete work must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends or within one year if the student does not return to Colden Valley Lutheran College. If a student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed in the allotted time, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin. ***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be r:ounseled in relation to academic progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory. A student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activites curtailed or programs of study reduced at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. U nsatisfadory Academic Progress For purposes of reporting, a full-time student shall be considered as making unsatisfactory progress if the student fails to earn 31 credits within each academic year.

In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter.

Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which the Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at the College.

All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the sequence, English 111 and 112-College Composition, and English 113lntroduction to Literature, has been completed.

Co-Curricular Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Co-curricular activities include all music ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 35 Orientation and Registration All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the proper courses is the individual student's responsibility. Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by special permission. A student may not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin. Repeating a Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record. Withdrawals from the College A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar. When the application has been signed and returned to the Office of the Registrar, grades of W will be recorded for all courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the date that the application is returned to the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all classes.

This consequently determines how one lives his or her life. Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL IN FORMATION 9 GENERAL INFORMATION History Golden Valley Lutheran college is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. The Campus and Its location Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation, and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center is located in Delta dormitory. 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Philosophy and Objectives Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution w1tn programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, mission, secretarial work, sodal service, recreational leadership, law enforcement and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semiprofessional program. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... to develop knowledge of the Judea-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments. to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations. to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre th rough courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in the metropolitan area. to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and through participation in physical education and sports activities. to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. GENERAL IN FORMATION 11 Accreditation and Transfer of Credit Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable. A student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College. Affiliations North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board Lutheran Educational Conference of North America National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities American Association of Community and Junior Colleges Minnesota Association of Community and Junior Colleges National Junior College Athletic Association - Region XIII Minnesota Community College Conference General Guidelines Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly. Each student is expected to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook. The College reserves the right not to accept an applicant or to withdraw the privilege of a student to return after any quarter and to discipline those who conduct themselves in a manner which is not in the best interest of the individual, other students, or the College. STUDENT LIFE 13 STUDENT LIFE Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and experiences which help develop the whole person. The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships. New Student Pre ... Registration Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. Counseling Services The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Health Services The College has a full-ti me registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Stu'dents requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible. 14 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Library The library, located on the ground floor of the Main building, provides a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula. There are over 30,000 volumes, 247 periodicals, local and national newspapers, and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including phonograph records and casssettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary listening and viewing equipment available to the students. Insurance The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or damage to personal property. Many families have homeowners policies that will cover losses of family members at college. Housing Services Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in the College cafeteria. Student Government and Social Life A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life more enjoyable. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by the student Judiciary Board. STUDENT LIFE 15 Religious life As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services, all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are coordinated by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith & Life Commission. Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in world mission activities. The College has a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part. There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to present the Gospel in word and song. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a sense of community. Each student is encouraged to participate in the chapel services of the college community and to attend public worship every Sunday. Student Use of Automobiles Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the business office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit at any time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles. 16 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Alcohol and Drug Abuse Goiden Vaiiey Lutheran Coiiege strongiy discourages aii students from using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in college-approved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action.

COSTS 21 C STS Student Costs 1984~85 The following explains the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room or fees at any time. The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year. Therefore, over and above all help given, each student receives the equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total expenses of the operation. The College does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from Lutheran Brotherhood and other corporations. Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these many friends.

FINANCIAL AID 25 FINANCIAL AID Golden Valley Lutheran College recognizes the close relationship between students, parents, and the College in meeting the costs of a quality education.

Golden Valley Lutheran College Aid Academic Scholarships are awarded to those students who graduate in the top quarter of their high school class or to transfer students who have a 3.00 grade average with a minimum of 12 hours.

Aspects of Christian service or leadership that are considered include, but are not limited to, teaching, music, volunteer work and counseling.

These funds are for students whose qualifications meet the conditions and requirements of the specified award. Minnesota State Aid Minnesota State Scholarships and Grants are available to Minnesota residents planning to attend one of the eligible Minnesota colleges. Awards are based on financial need and educational costs and may range up to $3,251 per year. Students may apply for a grant by completing an ACT Family Financial Statement (FFS), including the section for Minnesota State Scholarship and Grant-In-Aid applicants. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Federal Government Aid Pell Grants are available frorn the federal government for students meeting certain financial need qualifications.

Students may apply for this grant by checking the appropriate box on either the ACT Family Financial Statement or CSS Financial Aid Form. National Direct Student Loans are funded by the federal government and administered by the College. Loans are granted on the basis of validated financial need. The loans are made at an interest rate of 5% with the student paying neither interest nor principal until six months after graduation or leaving college. Repayment must be completed within 10 years. Guaranteed Student Loans enable eligible students to borrow directly up to $2,500 annually from participating banks or other lenders at an interest rate of 8%. Repayment of loan principal and interest begins six months after graduation or leaving college. The Minnesota Student Loan Program provides Guaranteed Student Loans to eligible students who are unable to find a participating lender to fund them. Parent Loans for Undergraduate Student (Plus). This program helps parents borrow money to pay for their children's cost of attending postsecondary schools without the constraint of collateral securing the loan. Parents of undergraduate students may borrow $3,000 per year for each dependent, undergraduate student to a maximum of $15,000 per student. Repayment begins within 60 days of disbursement. Normal repayment is made over a five to ten year period at an interest rate of 12%. The number and amount of each payment depends on the size of the debt and the parents' ability to pay. The minimum repayment is $600 per year. PLUS loans do not require a needs test. Work Opportunities College Work - Study enables students who demonstrate financial need an opportunity to help defray college expenses through part-time employment. Work - Study students may be employed in the cafeteria, in maintenance, as clerical assistants to professors, library and audiovisual assistants, resident assistants, or in other available positions. Student Employment. There are numerous part-time employment positions available in the Golden Valley community and the surrounding area.

Other Assistance Programs College Payment Schedule: Because most people prefer to pay educational expenses in installments, Golden Valley Lutheran College has set up a tuition payment plan. This plan is a convenient payment program beginning in June and ending in February. Hidden Subsidy: Golden Valley Lutheran College gives a "hidden subsidy" each year to every student who attends the College as a full- FINANCIAL AID 27 time student. This "hidden subsidy" reflects the fact that the total instructional program at the College costs more than the total amount received from tuition and fees. Such a "hidden subsidy" is made possible by gifts from many sources, especially church congregations, alumni, and friends of the College. The College also receives income from endowment funds. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same rates described under Federal Insured Student Loans. Other Grants - There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at Golden Valley Lutheran College for other federal, state, and communitysponsored scholarships and grants. Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid 1. To apply for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College, request an application form from the Office of Admissions, Golden Valley Lutheran College, 6125 Olson Highway, Golden Valley, MN 55422. 2. If you are applying only for Golden Valley Lutheran scholarships and grants - and not for state or federal grants - indicate this on the Golden Valley Lutheran College Financial Aid Application. 3. To apply for federal or Minnesota aid you must complete a Family Financial Statement and a Student Data Form using income information for the 1983 tax year and submit it to ACT. Forms are available from your high school guidance counselor or by writing the Office of Admissions at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Although the FFS is preferred, non-Minnesota residents may submit the CSS Financial Aid Form. Allow six to eight weeks for processing of the ACT Family Financial Statement. 4. Since all financial aid programs have limited funds, within ten days of our notifying you that you will receive financial aid you must let us know that you accept the offer. Funds that are not accepted are given to other students who need them. All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year. Students, however, may expect to receive financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded from College funds for the quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. Golden Valley Lutheran College makes every effort to enable all accepted students to attend regardless of financial resources. Your financial need may be met through a combination of federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs. We encourage students and parents to visit campus to discuss financial planning. 28 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Scholarships The AAi..

General Academic Information Credit load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN.COLLEGE Grading and Honor Point System /\ student's grade point average is computed at the end of each quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of credits attempted. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Honor Points Per Credit Grade 4 Superior A 3 Above Average B 2 c Average 1 Below Average D Failure 0 F I V W WF s u Incomplete* Audit Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** 2 for J.C.C. only *Incomplete work, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends or within one year if the student does not return to Golden Valley Lutheran College.

A student may not drop a course after final examinations begin. ***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to academic progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1.50 or above. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory. Eligibility for Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules.

During the qualifying quarter, he or she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College Catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.) No student shall be certified on an eligibility list until the College has received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date and any college transcript(s), if another college has been previously attended. The responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the individual student. Credit by Special Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies. Transfer Students The actual number of credits accepted in transfer from other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not included in the computation of the grade point average. Transfer credit will not be granted for courses in which a grade below C- was received. 34 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Class Attendance Each student is responsible for regular class attendance and for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of the department in which he or she plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College.

All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the sequence, English 111and112 - College Composition, and English 113 - Introduction to Literature, has been completed.

Co-Curricular Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category. Co-curricular activities include all music ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College. With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.Sfor a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 35 Orientation and Registration All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the proper courses is the individual student's responsibility. Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes, with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by special permission. Repeating a Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average.

This consequently determines how one lives his or her life. Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 7 GENERALI F RMATION History Golden Valley Lutheran college is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. The Campus and Its location Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation, and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center is located in Delta dormitory. 8 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Philosophy and Objectives Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, missions, secretarial work, social service, recreational leadership, law enforcement and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semiprofessional program. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... to develop knowledge of the Judea-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments. to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations. to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in the metropolitan area. to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and through participation in physical education and sports activities. to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. GENERAL INFORMATION 9 Accreditation and Transfer of Credit Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable. A student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College.

The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships. New Student Pre-Registration Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in pre-registration activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. Counseling Services The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation courses listed in the Course Description section. Health Services The College has a full-time registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus.

Housing Services Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls. E~ceptions are those who commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase either their noon or evening meal in the College cafeteria. Student Government and Social life A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life more enjoyable. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by the student Judiciary Board. Religious life As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services, all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are co-ordinated by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith & Life Commission. STUDENT LIFE 13 Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in world mission activities. The College has a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part. There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to present the Gospel in word and song. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a sense of community. Each student is encouraged to participate in the chapel services of the college community and to attend public worship every Sunday. Student Use of Automobiles Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the business office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit at any time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles.

COSTS 19 COSTS Student Costs 1983-84 The following explains the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room or fees at any time. The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year. Therefore, over and above all help given, each student receives the equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total expenses of the operation. The College does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from Lutheran Brotherhood and other corporations. Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these many friends. 20 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Charges By Quarter The College operates on a quarter system vvith three quarteis per academic year.

FINANCIAL AID 23 Fl ANCIAL AID Golden Valley Lutheran College is concerned about the financial problems of students. In order to assist students who have inadequate financial resources, the Director of Financial Aid coordinates a program of financial aid based on a student's academic achievement, special abilities, and financial need. Basically, there are three sources of financial aid: Federal Government State of Minnesota Golden Valley Lutheran College There are three forms of aid: Gift Aid Loans Student Employment All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year. Students, however, may expect to receive their financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded from College funds for that quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. 24 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Gift Aid Gift Aid is a categorical name given to all awards from GVLC pi us the Peii Grant (formerly BEOG), Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program (MSS/G). Such awards do not have to be repaid. Pell Grant: This grant is provided by the Federal Government based on financial need. The amount is derived from uniform methodology, using family and student financial information. All students applying for financial assistance at GVLC are required to apply for this grant. Golden Valley Lutheran College President's Scholarship: This scholarship is available to the gifted student who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in a given field and attained an unusual degree of academic excellence. A recipient must be ranked in the upper five percent of his or her high school or college class and be willing to provide leadership in music, sports, theatre or other college related activities. The President's Scholarship may be awarded without regard to financial need, but if a recipient has a demonstrated financial need, the Federal and State guidelines for financial assistance must be followed. The amount of the scholarship may vary depending upon circumstances. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant: Awarded by the Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC to make awards of $200 or more to students who show financial need based on uniform methodology. Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid: Includes all awards granted for scholarship, athletics, Christian service, drama and music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are based on demonstrated excellence in specified areas and financial need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family Financial Statement. The GVLC Gift Aid awarded to new students is based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded to returning students is based on participation and achievement while enrolled at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the student's account each quarter. Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program: Available to qualified Minnesota residents each year depending upon financial need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC are expected to apply for this aid. Other Grants: There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at GVLC for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. FINANCIAL AID 25 Deferred Payment loans National Direct Student Loans (NDSL) - Federal NDSL Loans are available to students who have financial need and have been accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the student completes his or her studies. The interest rate is 5% (APR), and repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or specified military duty. Guaranteed Student Loans: The Student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from a bank and the federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% (APR) interest during the repayment period. When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Minnesota State Student Loan Program. First year students are limited to $1,500 per loan, but may apply for a second loan under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% (APR) interest during the repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office. Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students: When necessary an application can be made for a Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). The parent can apply for up to $3,000 per academic year to be used for educational expenses. The interest rate on this loan is 12% (APR) and repayment must begin 60 days after disbursement, with terms to be worked out with the lender. The Financial Aid Office has a list of private institutions which are participating in this program. Our list, however, is incomplete and parents are free to inquire at the lending institution of their choice. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans. Student Employment College Work-Study Program - Golden Valley Lutheran College participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's eligibility depends on his or her financial need and individual skills. Student Part-time Employment - The College offers a variety of campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous parttime employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Procedure for Applying for Financial A :...J tÂ·â¢uu Any student wishing to apply for financial aid must first make proper application through the admissions department and be admitted to the College. The basic forms used to determine financial aid need are the Famil)"' Financial Statement (FFS) from ACT, or the Financial Aid Form (FAF) from CSS. Many qualified students fail to receive financial assistance because they neglect to get their financial statements submitted on time. Minnesota residents must file their FFS by April 1, 1983 to be eligible for priority consideration from the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. As soon as all pertinent information has been assembled, the Financial Aid Office sends the student an aid package. The student must accept the aid package within 15 days to be guaranteed the funds. Students are expected to contribute part of their summer earnings toward the cost of education. The Federal Government also has established an amount that each family is expected to contribute to the educational expenses of a son or daughter. We believe that Federal and State assistance programs, plus the financial aid available through Golden ValJey Lutheran College, places two years of quality college education within the reach of all who desire it. Scholarships The AAL Lutheran American Minority Scholarship Program is available for any Lutheran American minority person who is a member of a Lutheran church, or is an immigrant who has been sponsored by a Lutheran organization and is attending Golden Valley Lutheran College.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM 29 ACADEMIC PROGRAM Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on their major and other requirements during the last two years of college. General education courses invite the student to learn about the world, the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. General Academic Information Credit load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per quarter. Exceptions to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more credit-hours per quarter are considered full time students. Individuals with less than 12 credit-hours are considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. 30 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Honor Points Per Credit Grade Superior 4 for A.A. Degree A Above Average 3 for A.A. Degree B 2 for A.A. Degree c Average Below Average 1 for A.A. Degree D Failure F 0 for A.A. Degree I W WF s u Incomplete* Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** 2 for J.C.C. only *Incomplete work, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may not drop a course after final examinations begin. ***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to academic progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1.50 or above. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory. Eligibility for Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter. During the qualifying quarter, he or she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College Catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.) No student shall be certified on an eligibility list until the College has received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date and any college transcript(s), if another college has been previously attended. The responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the individual student. Credit by Spedal Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies. Transfer Students The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not included in the computation of the grade point average. Class Attendance Each student is responsible for regular class attendence and for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibi I ity to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement. All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the sequence, English 111and112 - College Composition, and English 113 - Introduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in English 100, 110, or 111 will be determined by specific English Placement tests administered to all new students during student orientation in the fall, or at the time of their registration for winter or for spring quarters. Co-Curricular Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category. Co-curricular activities include all music ensembles, Theatre Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College. With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. Orientation and Registration All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes, with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by special permission. Repeating a Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record. Withdrawals from the College A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term, must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all classes. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the date the application was signed and returned to the Registrar's Office. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 35 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her program includes all requirements for graduation. Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan their college program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with his or her academic advisor, the Registrar, or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Affairs. 36 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Associate in Arts Degree: liberal Arts and Transfer Program This program is designed for students who intend to gain a general knowledge of the arts and sciences and who intend to transfer to a fouryear college or university for completion of a Bachelor's Degree.

Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will best help the student understand the world in which he will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart, and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 7 General Information HISTORY Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beg inning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis, in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer an
