A GREETING FROM THE On behalf of the entire college community, I welcome you to Augsburg College. It is a pleasure to introduce the College to prospective students and to use thisopportunity to welcome new and returning students. Augsburg has earned a reputation as an affordable, quality liberal arts college of the church. The mission of the College, its academic programs and its metropolitanlocation attract a wide variety of students, a diversity which is actively encouraged. Whether from a small town, a large city or another country, all students enjoy the sense of community here at Augsburg. The College continues to grow at a mnarkable pace, building on a tradition of excellence in its programs, faculty, students and facilities. It is a place where community, national and world leaders meet to discuss issues and ideas. I invite you to become part of this tradition of excellence -Augsburg is an exciting and challenging place to prepare for your future. I look forward to meeting you on campus. President Augsburg College is grounded in traditions -the traditions of its founders, of the church and of higher education in the liberal arts. From this framework springs a dynamic, challenging and evolving institution that rises to the challenges of today's -and tomorrow's -changing world. Augsburg is committed to educating the whole person, encouragingand respecting diversity and serving the larger community. Through education, understanding and service, Augsburg faculty, staff and students can affect the future in positive ways. The phrase, 'Think globally, act locally, rings true at Augsburg. The College's location in the heart of the Twin Cities provides rich opportunities for experiential education, volunteer service, internships and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College: To dmelopfuture ltnders of service to the world by proznding high quality educational oj?prtunifies which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September, 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872.The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first graduation was in 1879. August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway -Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college1' studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three part plan: First, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over one hundred years. Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (18761907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations.Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free-Church.The church was a group of independentcongregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. But the college division was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became President He worked to develop college departmentswith an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. The College's mission assumed a double character -ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Quistensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be pmident (1938-1%2).His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War JI, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary, and received the most attention. Augsburg added departmentsessential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effortto become accredited. The College reached full accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 definedthe College's mission now as serving the good society as a whole first and the interests of the Lutheran Fnx Church second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Northwestern Seminary)in St. Paul in 1963. President Oscar A. Anderson (19&1980) continued Augsburg'semphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out b non-traditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower, Urness Tower, the College Center, Ice Arena and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the College since 1980.He guides Augsburg's commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Augsburg continues to grow under his leadership. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting Weekend College and three Master of Arts degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsoredforums and events, increased accessibility and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication. Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative and successful citizens; The city, with all its excitement, challenges and diversity is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metre politan center. There are now more than lO,W Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a differencewhere they live and work. Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding Murphy Square, the first of 155parks in Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes."

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS Internships, Cooperative Education and Service-Learning Through Internships, Cooperative Education and Community Service, Augsburg students integrate and expand their liberal artseducation by embracing the worlds of work and service. Each work or community service placement is closely related to a student's major, course work or career interest. Augsburg's Internship, Cooperative Education and Community Service programs link employers, community organizationsand the academic program in a way that enriches and expands a student's educational experience and personal development. An underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowingand doing" adds breadth and depth to the liberal artscurriculum and assists students in making more informed academic, career and personal decisions. The College's metropolitan location makes possible a wide range of opportunities. Students have gained valuable learning experiencesin small and midsize companies, large corporations, non-profit organizations, schools, government agencies and community-based organizations. Academic Internships An academic internship is a carefully planned work-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlining the internship objectives, strategies and evaluation methods is required. An academic internship is approved, supervised and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the Internship credit. Upper Division Internships are numbered 399 and Lower Division Internships are numbered 199. Registration for Internshipsconsists of the following steps: 1. Obtain the Internship registration permission form from the Internship and Cooperative Education Office and secure the signaturesof the faculty supervisor and Director of Internshipsand Cooperative Education. 2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship during the registration period. The signed permission form must be tumed in at the time of registration. (Students may preregister without a placement seared, but a suitable internship must be found by the end of the registration or drop/add period.) 3. A learning agreement (forms are available from the Internship and Cooperative Education office) must be negotiated with the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The completed original is turned in to the Internship and Cooperative Education Office. Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester (or Weekend College trimester),interim or summer session. For extension of an internship beyond one term see the section of the catalog under grading. A maximum of four courses of Internship may count toward the 35 courses required for the degree. Cooperative Education CooperativeEducation is a college supported and monitored, paid, worklearning experience that is closely related to a student's major or career objective. The goal is to combine theory with practice. Students also earn money to help defray educational costs while gaining important on-the-job experience.Job placements typically are part-time during the academic year and/or full-time summer. Co-op jobs are flexible and can begn and end anytime. Co-op Ed is not aedited in and of itself,but a nonaedit CooperativeEducation transcript entry is available during the academic terms the student is employed. Co-op Ed students are encouraged to complete at least one Internship for credit in conjunction with their Cooperative Education participation. Co-op Ed is available to Augsburg students who have completed their freshman year and are in good academic standing. Service-Learning Augsburg's ServiceL.eaming program combines response to human needs in the community with a conscious awareness and understandingof issues, reflection and educationalgrowth. Augsburg students learn from and about the community and society in which they live by participating in orientation sessions, direct servicelearningactivities and seminarsor class discussions. Through direct service, such as volunteering at a homeless shelter, tutoring building housing for low income people or working with environmental groups, students engage in a dynamic and interactive educational approach which employs reciprocal learning between the student(s1and the community. The Service-I-eamhg Program works with community organizations and organizes @c projects to enhance student involvement and also assists with and supports the integration of service-learninginto departmental courses. The program works closely with the student directed Augsburg LINK program and campus ministry.

The Master of Arts in Leadership program is based on the subject matter and approaches of the traditional liberal arts.This cross-disciplinary program directs its acadanic content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues and problems relevant to orpnimtional leaders. AugsbUrg's program recognizes that today's leaders need broad-spectrum abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understandingof their world. The Master of Arts in Education-Leadershipprogram values the role that good educators play in the lives of students, and operates from the belief that educators need to exercise leadership within the workplace without relinquishingthe role of teacher. The program promotes leadership as a process, promotes productivity within and beyond the organization and works toward progress. The Master of Social Work at Augsburg offerstwo concentrations:Family Practice and Program Development, Policy and Administration. In the Family Practice concentration, students concentrate on empowering the family nurturing systems from a developmental and holistic perspective. The Program Development, Policy and Administration concentration has been developed in response to the growing demand for creative leadership and administration of policies and servicesthat respond to human need. Both concentrations are founded on the asumptions that analysis of complex social issues and solutionsmust be based on solid research, and that the world is interdependent in all areas, includinghuman needs and the services to address them. These programs bring working adults to the campus. They are complemented by the College's Cooperative Education Program (begun in 1984) that places Augsburg students into paid work experiences.

Students who do not confirmtheir registration before the first day of classes (unless s p e d arrangementshave been made) will lose all classes. They may register and confinn during the first five days, but special late fees a= assessed and added to their account. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this results in a failing grade on the official record. Cancellationof courses or withdrawal from College must be done in the Registrar's Office. Withdrawal from College cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved by the Student StandingCommittee. Withdrawal from College and resulting adjustments in accounts an? effective as of the date the completed Withdrawal from College form is returned to the Registrar's Office. Leave of Absence Students may request a leave of absence for academic or personal reasons. A request form must be picked up from the Office of the Dean of Students. It must be signed by the Dean of Students, or authorized representative, and by the Dean of the College, or authorized representative. The completed form must be turned in to the Registrar's Office. A leave of absence may be granted for one term or one academic year. If an extension of a leave of absence is needed, it should be requested in the same manner as the original leave of absence, and the completed form must be turned in to the Registrar's Office before the expiration of the previous leave of absence, or readmission will be required. Students on leave are responsible for keeping the Registrar's Office informed of their mailing address. All deadlines for financial aid and housing must be observed by returning students. A leave of absence does not defer repayment of loans or extend incomplete deadlines. The responsibility for seeing that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Academic Advisers, Department Chairpersons, the Associate Academic Dean and the Registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Each student must apply for graduation at the time specified by the Registrar. Application forms are available in the Registrar's Office. AU degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar'soffice prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record). See the separate section on Graduation with Distinction to learn about requirements for these honors. 1. Completion of 35 courses -At least 11course credits must be Upper Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s. Not more than 13may be in one department, except in certain approved majors -17 (Music Education) or 20 (Music Performance)for the Bachelor of Music degree, and 18for the The course total must include three Interimsfor students whose complete academic work is at Augsburg. For transfer students, the course total must include one less Interim course than the number of years at Augsburg. This is calculatedon each transfer s t u d d s evaluationof transfer credits. No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 35 total courses q d two courses by independent/directed study; four courses of internship; and eight course credits with a grade of Pass (P).Non-traditional grading (PIalso has these limits: two in the major except Elementary Education and Nursing; one in the minor if approvedby the department dxiqxmn Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree should contact the Registrais Office about specific requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major. 2 Completion of a Major -Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. First Year Experience (FYE) -All students who enter the College as freshmen in the weekday schedule program must complete satisfactorily the FYE Fall Orientationand Seminar. See the program section on the First Year Experience for a full description. 4. Grade Point Average -2.0 for most majors. A grade point average of 2.0 is required over all courses taken and over all courses which apply toward the major. Some majors, licensure and certificationrequire higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensurein education, music education, music performance, music therapy, nursing, socialwork.) See the departmental section for details. 5. Residence -The last year of full-time study or equivalent (minimum of seven courses for part-time students)must be at Augsburg. Contact the Registrar if an official interpretation is needed.

Lifetime Sports -Demonstrated proficiency in two different Lifetime Sports is required. Lifetime sports are no-credit courses and are not included in the 35-courserequirement. Rationale for the Augsburg General Education Curriculum: The Augsburg faculty has designed a cohesive academic program incorporating general education, major courses, supportingcourses and elective courses leading to the bachelor's degree. The core of the Augsburg curriculum is found in the liberal artsas expressed in the General Education component of the college curriculum. Augsburg, in its Mission Statement, declares the College exists 'To develop future leaders of service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community." One way which the College seeks consciously to realize this Mission is through its General Education curriculum, which Augsburg has divided under two headings: liberal artsperspectives and skills. The term "perspective" assumes that not only are we engaged in the search for truth, but that this requires the searcher to consider questions from a variety of viewpoints, each of which has something valuable to contribute to the whole. These perspectives are not strictly identified with traditional disciplines, but are understood in ways which encourage multi-disciphq reflections on the questions at issue. They combine concerns about content with those of process and approach, directed ultimately to making the student a more effective learner and participant in society. The following requirements reflect the way in which Augsburg has chosen to view the liberal arts. Two of the four features of the Mission Statement are embodied in the General Education Perspectives: 'The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith and the City." These Perspectives emphasize that the College's affiliationwith the Lutheran Church,its insistence on the value of howing the approach which derives from the Christian roots of the College and its location in the city, deserve s p e d considerationin Augsburg's educational program. The third feature-that Augsburg is a liberal arts institution -is also emphasized in the other Liberal Arts Perspectives. Certain dimensions of human life -of what it is to be human -form the core of the required liberal arts experience. These overall perspectives on what it is to be human can themselves be studied from the vantage points of the various academic disciplines. Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person. Hence, the Perspective on Human Identity. But the person exists in both a social community and a natural world. Hence, the importance of the Perspectives on the Social World and the Natural World. Because the way in which we understand ourselves derives largely from our Western heritage, students need to learn about and reflect on sigruficant aspects of this heritage. Thus, the Perspective on the Western Heritage. At the same time, to focus on the West,alone would be ethnocentric:We live in a global society. Hence the Perspective on Inter-CulturalAwareness. Attention to moral values is found not only in the Perspective on the Character and Mission of the College: the Christian Faith, but throughout the other perspectives as well. The Perspective on Aesthetic Values enables students to foms upon aesthetic works created by themselves or others, which convey fundamentalinsights, express beauty and enhance life. Finally, the Mission Statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic excellence. This has a number of features, including the way we teach all the courses in General Education. Beyond this, academic excellence presupposes that students have the requisite skills to do college-level work. The General Education Requirements are couched in a context which pays attention to the skills of both incoming and graduating students. Entry-level skill requirements in a number of critical areas, including reading, writing, quantitative reasoning and critical thinking, will be assessed and help given to students who need it. Graduation-level skills are also emphasized, so that students not only maintain but develop their skills during their Augsburg experience. The General Education Requirements provide a coherent way to address the Mission of Augsburg College. They are not the only way, neither do they guarantee that students who graduate from Augsburg possess the desired knowledge and character traits. What they do is provide a coherent description of the context in which we liberally educate students, a clear statement of expected outcomes and an opportunity for students to see and understand the complexity of what it is to be human and Christian in an urban setting. Entry Level Skills Requirements The entry level skills tests are inventory assessments in: reading writing word processing critical thinking quantitative reasoning (along with Math Placement) Placement in writing courses and math courses is determined by these inventories. Freshmen (all students entering Augsburg with fewer than seven college credit courses) and Sophomore (entering 1992-'93 or after) Transfer Students: Take entry level skills tests and satisfy requirements. If skill levels are deficient, students will be enrolled in the appropriate course or advised on preparation for retaking the respective tests. Students are q i i r e d to take the assessments before registering for the second term and to have demonstrated removal of deficiencies by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Effective Writing or its equivalent is required. Students who do not satisfy the entry level skill in writing will be required to take Developmental Writing before Effective Writing. Freshmen must complete the writing requirement before the begnmng of their Sophomoreyear. Students who pass the writing assessment inventory at the advanced levels (to be determined by the English Department)will not be required to take Effective Writing. Those with demonstrated word processing skills; e.g. recent verifiable work experience, are exempt from the word processing inventory. Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are exempt from the critical thinking inventory. Students with an acceptable transfer mathematics course are exempt from the quantitative reasoning inventory, and will be given information about taking the Math Placement Test based upon previous mathematics courses. Freshman and Sophomore (entering 1992-'93 or after) transfer students will be required to satisfy all the graduation skill course requirements. Junior and Senior Transfer Students Entering Junior and Senior transfer students (entering 1993294 or after) are I exempt from word processing, reading and critical thinking assessments. Those who have not taken an Effective Writing course or a college level mathematics course must take entry level tests in writing and/or quantitative reasoning. If they do not achieve exemption from those mpirements, they must satisfy the requirement in those areas. Those who have a transfer mathematics course accepted for college credit by Augsburg College are exempt from the quantitative reasoning inventory and will be given information about taking the Math Placement test based upon previous college mathematics courses. Junior and Senior transfers (entering 1994'95 or after) are required to satisfy all the graduation skill course requirements, except that only one writing component course is required. 1 Graduation Level Skills General Education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Skills related to writing, critical thinking spealung and quantitative reasoning are deliberatecomponents of certain courses. Completion of the requisite courses with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required for graduation. Students are required to have two courses with writing components and one course each with critical thinking, speaking and quantitative reasoning components. These courses can simultaneously satisfy skill requirements and graduation requirements for the major or general education perspectives. 1 Lifetime Spohs Demonstrated proficiency in two different Lifetime Sports is required. Lifetime sports are no-credit courses and are not included in the 35course requirement. The General Education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for begmmng to understand what it means to be a human being at this time. The goals of the Perspectives are achieved through a variety of courses which have been approved as meeting the criteria established for each Perspechve. Although courses approved for each Perspective meet the General Education requirements, not every course meets all the goals of each Perspective. Students will choose from a list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the Office of the Registrar. These choices are controlled by the following policies: A student will choose one course from each category. No single course can fulfill the requirementsin two or more categories. No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from the same department in meeting perspective requirements. No student may count more than one course from the same department in meeting the requirements of any single perspective except: 1.Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective, "The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith." 2. Up to two courses in a year-long sequence (biology, chemistry or physics) may be used to meet the perspective, "The Natural World." 3. Up to two courses of the same foreign language may be used to meet part of the perspective, "Intercultural Awareness." Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith This Perspective focuses on Augsburg as a College of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As a college of the Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its educationalprogram the doctrines of the Christian faith as ~vealedin Scriptureand the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian Scrip tures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own faith and values and dgious concepts outside of the Christian faith as part of becoming educated. From this Perspective, students should gain an understandingof and critically reflect on: 1.The Bible ( for example, its origins, structures, content or interpretation). 2. Christian theological and religious concepts and their own religious beliefs. 3. Religious concepts and practices found in religious traditions outside the Christian faith. 4. Their own and others' values, their relation to Christian values, the possible grounds for these values, how these values might be critiqued and defended and the role values play in the issues that confront our society. Three courses are required to meet this Perspective except for the following 1. Junior transfer students will be required to take two courses in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg; and 2. Senior transfer students will be required to take one course in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The City This Perspective focuses on the College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this Perspective, students should gain an understandingof and critically reflect upon the city with its diverse populations, cultural, governmental and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges.In addition, students should experience the community and should explore opportunities for service in the community. This requirement must be covered either by specific courses, by internship and cooperative education experiencesor by designated or college a p proved noncredit experiences (such as volunteer service or college pmgrams). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by seminars related to the experience. One course is required to meet this Perspective. Perspective: Western Heritage This Perspective is intended to help students critically examine themes (found, for example, in literature, philosophy and the arts) and events that have historically shaped Western civilization Attention should be paid to the contributions to or critiques of Western thought by women and ethnic minorities. From this Perspective, students should gain an understandingof and critically reflect on: 1. Central ideas, texts or works of art that historically have been sighcant for Western society and the relation of these to present world views. 2. S p d c historical themes, trends, events and persons and their roles in shaping both the past and the present. 3. Historical and literary methods of ascertaining and conveyingthe past. Two courses are required to meet this Perspective. Perspective: Human Identity This Perspective is intended to help students view themselves as persons, men and women with unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiencesand behaviors. From this Perspective, students should gain an understandingof and critically reflect on: 1.Methods and approachesthat attempt to explain how individual persons think,feel and ad. 2. Scientific or humanistic interp~tationsof their own development as persons. 3. Questions of faith, ethics and moral choice in their personal and professional lives. 4. Fadors involved in physical and mental health. One course is required to meet this Perspective. Perspective: Aesthetics Aesthetic creationsconvey fundamental insights and values, expressbeauty and enhance life. This Perspective focuses on aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by oneself and others. From this Perspective, students should gain an understandingof and critically reflect on: 1.Forms of artistic expression. 2. Historical development and variation in aesthetic taste and performance across cultures and how different cultures have expressed themselves through various aesthetic forms. 3. Different theories of aesthetics. 4. Their own creation or performance of a work of art. One course is required to meet this Perspective. Perspective: The Social World This Perspective is intended to help students learn to identdy, examine and critique &, economic or political systems:to understand how and why such systems develop, to see the connectionsamong these systems and to use this knowledge as a participant in society. I From this Perspective, students should gain an understanding of and critically reflect on: 1.The characteristicsand dynamics of human organization at the group and societal level. 2. Current theories and methods for understanding social, political or economic systems. 3. The historical development of selected social, economic or political structures. 4. The relationship between various social, political, or economic systems and the student's own responsibilities in society. 5. The ways that social, economic or political structures differ across cultures and affect diverse groups in society. Two courses are required for this Perspective. Perspective: lntercultural Awareness This Perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by expanding students' awareness of other cultures. One course is required in which students critically reflect upon ways their own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become better able to communicate with persons of other cultural backgrounds partially by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstreamNorth American cultures. In addition, students are to gain entry into another culture by learning to speak and read a language other than their native language. For this part of the Perspective, studentsare required to have demonstrated proficiency in a foreign language. The foreign language requirement will be based upon placement: Foreign Language Placement Course Requirement 111,112 112 211 212 No course required Students who are m p r e d to complete two semestersof foreign language must complete the requirement with sequential courses in the same language. Perspective: The Natural World This Perspective is intended to help students understand themselves in relation to the physical world. Their active role as observers, explorers, and moral agents will be emphasized. Sufficient technical training in scientific knowledge, concepts and methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues. From this Perspective, students should gain an understandingof and critically reflect on: 1.Selected aspects of the natural world. 2. The characteristics, strengthsand limitations of science and the scientific method, and the complex relations between data and theories, at least in part through practical laboratory experience. 3. The history of science, its relations to other historical/social develop ments and the variety of ways persons and civilizationshave approached the natural world. 4. The relations and differencesbetween science and theology; the mutual influences of technology, values, and the natural/physical environment; the limits imposed on humans by the natural environment, and the interconnectedness of all living systems. 5. The importance of symbol systems such as mathematics in attempting to describe, classify, and model objects and events. Two courses are required to meet this Perspective. Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports and other types of evaluation also are used. Most courses are offered with grading options -traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students who chose the P/N option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0 Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". For transfer students, P-graded courses do not count in the requirement that 14traditionally graded courses be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. See P/N limitationsunder Graduation Requirements. Certain courses are offered on one grading system only. Sociology 265 and several Interim courses are graded only on the P/N grading system. Some education courses are graded only on the P/N system or only on the traditional system. English 111is graded P or N, or 2.0-4.O/N. Some other courses are graded only PI 1.0 or N. Chemistry Seminar and Lifetime Sports are graded P/N. In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/ N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes after the first five days of classes. Explanation of Grades Number grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence Achieves above basic course standards Meets basic standards for the course Performancebelow basic course standards Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P 8ass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. A grade of P represents work at or above the 2.0 level; N represents work at the 1.5 or below level. An incomplete grade may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor of the course; must file a form stating the reasons for the request, the work q u i d to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor; and must gain the approval of the R e t r a r . Ifpermission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following semester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. Internships, Independent Studies and Directed Studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration A grade of X is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. The Registrar's Office will automatically continue the registration in response to an X grade. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X where satisfactoryprogress is not demonstrated. Withdrawal from college or dropping these continued courses will terminate their registration Under this circumstance, a re-registration as 1X by the student would be necessary if done during registration periods within one year of initial registration; if done after one year, a new registration would be necessary. A course in which a grade of 0,05,1.0,15, N, I or X has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken and grades earned each term remain on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. A course is given a grade of W when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V).Full-time students may audit a course without charge. The charge for part-time students is listed under College Costs. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beguuung of the term to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirement. If expestations have been met, the course will be listed on the tramaipt as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total a a d e mints - 2 (P or TransferCourses) Courses taken - 8 or Transfer Courses) Classification Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall and Interim terms. Sophomores-Seven courses completed with at least 14 grade points. Juniors-16 courses completed with at least 32 grade points. Seniors-25 courses completed with at least 50 grade points. Advanced Placement Program Test Advanced placement in courses beyond the begnning level is granted to students with scores of 3,4, and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Program Test Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department. Inquiries should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar. International Baccalaureate Program Coursesearned from the International BaccalaureateProgram will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate d Departmental guidelines are available from the Office of the Regstrar. t Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1)it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject e&nination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams -These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for s u b j j area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Student StandingCommittee approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a pass/no credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam. The Credit Assessment Program (CAP)-This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty committee is composed of the Registrar and two faculty members from fields of study diredly related to the student's previous learning. Informational meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include a personal meeting with the CAP Committee. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the CAP Committee applies the followingcriteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experiencethat involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Transaipt credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of courses applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward distribution requirements I and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning -While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, thii learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of nine courses (onefourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the nine courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the three assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams and credit granted through CAP Committee assessment. English as a Second Language (ESL) Program Students who declare a language other than English to be their primary language, or who are citizens of another country, must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, Developmental Writing or Effective Writing will be detenriined by their scores on the Michigan test (8@90 range for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ESL course work is required. Usually a score of 80 to 90 and a course grade of 35 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement. If students do not meet the ESL requirement, they will remain in ENG 217/ 218 until they meet the criteria stated above. Academic credit will normally be granted for no more than two courses. Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the foreign language requirement for graduation. Academic Progress, Probation and Dismissal The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman -A student who has taken fewer than seven courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore-A student who has taken fewer than 16courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior-A student who has taken fewer than 25 courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior -A student who has taken 25 or more courses with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is q u i r e d for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelineswill either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, or will be continued on probation or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, d i s missal fromthe College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the studenfs commitment to academic progress is the major considerationin deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Studentswho have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw beforethe end of a term. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum levels stated above. Studentsplaced on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classificationchanges to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. Dean's List The Dean's List is compiled after each semester, listing students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better, based on a minimum of three full courses, or equivalent, for a weekday schedule student or two full courses, or equivalent, for a Weekend College student, graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. / Graduation with Distinction Graduation with distinctionis determined as follows: Summa cum laude -3 8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA M a p cum laude -3.6 up to but not including 38 cumulativeGPA Cum laude -3 3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulativeGPA To quahfy for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed two years (14 traditionally graded courses) of work at Augsburg. Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is appmveci by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Education. Veterans should consult with the Office of the Registrar about completion of the enrollment certificate and the forwarding of other information to the Veterans Administration. Augsburg's standards of academic progress are given in this Catalog.When a veteran or eligible person fails to maintain these p&bed standards of progress, the College will so inform the Veterans Administration. It is the responsibility of each veteran to report any change in registration and/or academic load to the Office of the Registrar, as it is for all students. If less than full-time, veterans will be referred to the State Approving Agency after any period of two consecutive terms if they did not earn the equivalent for which they had been certified. A non-punitive grade which brings a veteran's academic load for the term below three courses will be reported to the Veterans Administration. Veterans will need to meet the requirementsof the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. m DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS Aands atruth liberal a* institution, College beliews thnt knaoledge are infmrehtai and are infiegrakd infoa whole.

Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its gmls and its place in the College's program. A listing of requirementsfm individual majors and minms follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered Fall and/ or Spring terms. The ACTC Schedule of Classes published each spring lists offerings and locations for Fall and Spring terms. Since some courses are offered in alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirementsand course offeringswith an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedulesfor courses offered in January Interim, Summer School, Augsburg Weekend College and the Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Leadership-Educationand the Master of Social Work programs are published in separate catalogs. Credits A full course is offeredfor one credit A few fractional courses, for one-half or onequarter credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most courses meet for three 6Gminute periods or two 90-minute periods a week, in addition to laboratories. Numbering Coursesnumbered below 300 are Lower Division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as Upper Division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400sfor seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description.A student ky enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not beenfulfilled if there is prior approvalby the professor teaching the course and of the academic adviser. Augsburg College offers a minor in American Indian Studies. See listing under InterdisciplinaryStudies (INS). Am DETT~~ENT (ART) Art is important as a field of study for our modem age. Our suryival as a culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order and beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this,we have made design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the art program at Augsburg. Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist, art teacher and art historian is to celebrate visual experiencethrough a variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how to see. Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts,the visual arts,as taught at Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art as a human activity does involve manual skill, although to become broadly significant it should interact with the content available in other fields, such as language,history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education and science. A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, I lI I I disciplines and attitudes. At Augsburg art study is further enhanced by associations with a sigruticant number of artgalleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Cooperative Education and Internships in studio art and art history provide on-the-pb, supervised, evaluated experienceswhich contribute to the student's overall education and development. Primary goals include improvement of art and museum skills, production and creative strategies. Hundreds of s m c careers exist in the general area of art. Augsburg graduates have established careers in such fields as teaching in public schools and colleges, anthropology, pottery making antique restoration and sales, film and video work, portrait painting and gallery and museum work. The f u t u holds ~ a great deal of promise for artists who can combine skills with a breadth of understanding.

BIOLOGY DEP- (BIO) Biology is the study of life and it is natural that we, as contemplative living matures, seek a deeper understanding of the living world that envelops us. This search has led to the realization that the earth is filled with an enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part of the biological world, an understandingof the basic biological processes common to all organisms, as well as those features which are unique to humans, is essential to attain seIf-understanding and to provide a basis for wise decisions. Another si@ant insight that has emerged from the study of life is that even the simplest organisms are incredibly complex and a complete understanding of even one of these has, as of yet, eluded the grasp of biologists. This is true even though some organisms have been subjected to years of intensive scrutiny. Biology will thus continue to be a fertile field for research for many years to come. Still, an enormous amount of knowledge regarding living organismshas accumulated over the years. In recent decades great strides have been made in understandingimportant biological processes, particularly those at the cellular and molecular levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans. Most advances in medicine, veterinary medicine, agricultureand food science have depended on the findingsof basic biological research. Because the biological world reveals such variety, complexity, and knowledge, an undergraduate major in biology needs to be broadly based. Because a complete understanding of biological systems depends on applicationsof the principles of physics and chemistry, a firm background in the physical sciences is also important for biologists. For many, an undergraduatemajor in biology serves primarily as a basis for further study. In past years Augsburg graduates have gone on to further studies in professional schools such as medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Others have entered graduate programs in the life sciences, leading to careers in areas such as college or university teaching, basic and applied research, and public or environmental health. Other graduates have embarked directly after graduation on a variety of careers, including high school teaching and laboratory technology. Biology Faculty Robert Herforth (Chairperson),Thomas Herbst, Esther McLaughlin, Erwin Mickelberg, Ralph Sulerud Major: Nine courses, including 111,112, 201 and at least one from each of the following five groups: Molecular and Cellular: 367,386,471; Cellular to Organismal: 355,474; Organismic/Animals: 351,353,473; Organismic/Plants: 361, 440; Environmental: 476,481.

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

ECONOMICS (ECO) D E P . The Department of Economicsat Augsburg College offers a program stressing a strong theowtical background, quantitative techniques and an emphasis on both national and international issues. Students who graduate with a degree in Economics are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields due to the strong liberal arts emphasis within the mapr. Three majors are offered to students within this Department. The General Economicsmajor is designed for students who are planning graduate or professional studies. The Applied Economics mapr generally leads to careers in the business world. Finally, the combined Business Administration/Economics major is designed for those who wish to have more flexibility in plannning their program of study. Economics course offerings are designed to meet the needs of students preparing for advanced studies as well as for those who, immediatelyafter graduation, are interested in starting a career. An Augsburg Economics mapr provides a solid foundation on which to build national or international careersin business, law, government or public service. The program allows students, once they have completed the core courses, to concentrate on their specrficareas of interest. Studentsare able to combine an Economics major with other disciplines. For example, business, international relations, mathematics, management information systems (MIS), political science, Soviet and East European area studies or Scandinavian area studies are often combined with economics. Economicsmajors and minors are available both through Day School and Weekend College. Economics F a d * Satya P. Gupta (Chairperson),Jeanne Boeh,Magda PalecznyZapp, Edward Sabella.

E D U ~ ODEPARTMENT N (EDE, EDS, EDU) Studentsintemted in attaining teacher licensure or developing a background in education as a base for advanced study in other careers will find opportunities in the Department of Education Professional education combinesthe study of theory with practice, and field experiences are an essential part of the course offerings. The location of Augsburg College is particularly advantageous for field experiences because of the wide variety of public, private and special schools in the Twin Cities. Classroom teachingis the career that first comes to mind for graduates of teacher education pmgmns. Augsburg graduates are found in many classrooms within the Twin Cities m.In addition, they provide educational services in classrooms across the nation and in some foreign countries. The teacher education program coupled with the liberal arts program serves as a solid base for graduate education Some teaching fields mquire graduate work beyond the initial license in either elementaryor secondary education However, not all graduates choose to teach in school settings. Teacher education graduates are also found in business, working in management, sales, production and service areas. As of April 1,1988, all persons are required to take basic competency tests (prescribedby the Minnesota Board of Teaching) in reading, writing skills and mathematics prior to begnning Upper Division courses. All students must apply for acceptance into the Education Department. Any course grade below 2.0 must be retaken. Licensure in Kindergarten-Elementary Education is availableboth through Day School and Weekend College.Selected secondary education programs are also available in Weekend College.

Augsburg College has cooperative arrangementswith three universities to allow the student to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineeringdegree from either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis; Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science, St. Louis,Missouri; or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Becau~of the specla1requirements and opportunitiesof these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg Engineering Adviser is necessary.Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg Engineering Adviser. Stuart Anderson, Adviser University of Minnesota The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineeringprograms: Bachelor of Amachelor of Engineering ( B A K E . ) enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the Institute of Technology. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the Institute of Technology may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Bachelor of ArtslMaster of Engineering (BAJME.) enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota.This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of Technology. The curriculum is thesame as the B.A./B.E. curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the University before proceeding through the graduate curriculum.The number of such courses varies by lT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the B.A./M.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participantsin the B.A./M.E. program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology. Washington University (Three Year Plan) Michigan Technological University (Dual Degree Plan) These two programs enable students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science or Michigan Technological University in a fiveyear period. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they will complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average and are recommended by the Engineering Adviser of Augsburg College. Students are also enmuraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Washington University and Michigan Technological University. Further informationon these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg Engineering Adviser. FinancialAid: Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineeringschool of their choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria.

Normally MAT 124,125 or 145, 146 and PHY 121,122 are taken in the freshman year. Studentsinterested in Chemical Engineering also should take CHM 351,352. Those who study Enghsh believe that an intense concern for words, ideas and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experiencelifeas others do and undentand better the world in which we live and work English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and socjology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With sciencerEnglish is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication,English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in different cultures. The Augsburg English Department integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films and readings available near the campus. Enghsh majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through Internships on and off campus, tutoring English as a Second -ge (ESL ) studentsrtutoring in the Writing Lab or participating in the Cooperative Education Program Students with an Augsburg Enghsh major pursue careers in elementary, secondary and college education, journalism, government, law, the minis try,library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing and other professions and businesses.

The initial months after entering college as a freshman are a period of transition. The faculty and staff wish to assist students to make the transition to being a college student successfully and to help them become part of this academic community. Students are introduced to the character of the College, its heritage as an urban liberal arts college of the church, the process of learning in a community where ideas are valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being a college student. The First Year Experience (FYE) is composed of four parts: Summer Registration, Fall Orientation, FYE Seminarsand FYE Interim Term Courses. Participation in the Fall Orientation program and in the FYE Seminars is required of all students who begm Augsburg College as freshmen in the day schedule program. Students who meet the requirement satisfactorily by attendance at and participation in an FYE Seminar will receive a notation of a passing (P) grade for FYE 005 on their official transcript. Studentswithout a P for FYE 005 will not be permitted to graduate with an Augsburg degree. 005 FYE Seminar A series of Fall term meetings with an FYE faculty adviser to discuss issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College communityof learners. Discussion will be based upon readings from a variety of disciplines and sources colleded in "The Augsburg Anthology." (P/N grading only; evaluationbased on attendance and participation.) The Foreign Language Department at Augsburg College contributes in many ways to realizing the College's mission of providing liberal arts education for b c e in today's world. The Department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation. So viewed, foreign language study goes beyond the developmentof new cornrnunications skills to foster an abiding awarenessthat the splendid diversity of human languages, literatures and cultures represents a rich historic legacy developed in different ways by many nations to be shared by all in common. The Departmental faculty believes that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of global perspective and hence is indispensablein the education of Augsburg students. The Foreign Language Department offers language, literatu~,and culture courses in French, German,Norwegian, Ojibwe, Russian and Spanish. Courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin and Greek are available to Augsburg students through the College's affiliation with A m , a consortiumof Twin Cities colleges. A special perspective on language is also available to Augsburg students in the linguistics courses offered by the Foreign Language Department. Linguistics goes beyond the study of individual languages to investigate the general principles which operate in and shape all languages. In thisway the study of linguisticsaffords the student a unique view of one of the most intriguingand central facets of the human mind. Foreign language skills, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, are essential in preparing for a number of careers and represent a valuable specla1qualification in many others. Anticipated careers in a number of n teaching, translation, the diplomatic corps or fields such as f o ~ i g language international business may require a foreign language major, perhaps combined with a major in some other field. In addition, students pursuing careersin many other fields such as health care, social work, the ministry, psychology or philosophy, to name just a few, often find that a foreign language minor and/or the study of linguistics qualifies them for special assignmentsin their chosen field. [i Foreign Ianguages Faculty: Mary Kingsley (Chairperson), Nancy Aarwold, Ruth Aaskov, Rick Greczyk, Roxie Hale, Nelly Hewett, Gunta Rozentals, Frankie Shackelford, Donald Steinmetz, Ronald Walter Placement Levels: Students with previous foreign language study must register in courses suited to their level of preparation.

The distinguished medievalistJ.R Strayer expressed it this way: "No community can survive and no institu- tion can function without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that we are ruled by the collective memory of the past It is thememory of common experiences which makes scattered individuals into a community." A society's history is also a storehouse of human experiences that enables us to deal more knowledgeablywith the continuitiesand changes in m m n t issues. Established disciplines, as history long has been, train the mind by developingconcepts and skills that enable one to deal with masses of information. Many have found that history is an entree into the richer enjoyment of travel, cultural events and the broad reading enjoyed by the educated person. Accordingy, history has long held a mapr role in the liberal arts.This is true at Augsburg. The Department has strength in and requires of its majors work in four main areas: ancient and medieval, modem Europe, United States and the non-Western world. The Department's graduates are well represented among professional historians; at present, some are in graduate schools preparing for such careers. More have distinguished themselves as social studies teachers in elementaryand secondary schools and current projections indicate that there will be growing opportunity in that field for history majors. For most of our students, however, the study of history provides one of the better undergraduate liberal arts experiences, valuable both for personal enrichment and a wide variety of career choices. History Faculty: Richard Nelson (Chairperson), Orloue Gisselquist, Donald Gustafson, Khin Khin Jensen Major: Eight courses plus one seminar. At least four of these courses must be Upper Division. A mapr must have at least one course (either survey or Upper Level) from each of the four areas: ancient and medieval; modern Europe; U.S.; and non-Western. Major for Teaching Licensure: Students interested in secondary education may take a History mapr in combination with specified social science courses and the required educational courses, in compliance with the state requirements. For more information, see the Department Chairperson or the Social Studies Coordinator. Minor: Eve courses, at least three of which must be Upper Division. Honors Major: GPA of 3.6 in the major and 3.0 overall; except in special instances, application before the end of the first term of the junior year; two years of a foreign language at the college level (or its equivalent); an honors thesis (equal to one course credit) to be defended before a faculty committee.

At least since b t e s , scholars have appreciated the value of mathematics in developing the skills of critical thinking, understandingabstrad concepts, and analyzing and solving problems. Coupled with the more modem needs of quantitative reasoning, these skills are still essential for any liberally educated person. Mathematics and computer science courses at Augsburg are intended to help develop these skills. 1 Mathematical ideas in and of themselves have had a formative impact on the development of civilization and the development of compute& has also influenced modern society. To the extent that a liberal education must include a variety of perspectives on our culture and heritage, a study of these influences is important. An increasingnumber of academic disciplines require a working knowledge of the tools of mathematics and computer science. This Department serves students majoring in a wide variety of fields. Majors within this Department are prepared for graduate school, work in industry or service professions, with opportunities to focus on either the theoretical or the applied areas of their vocations. In fad, the Department offers a concentration in applied mathematics as well as the more traditional major. Internshipand Cooperative Education options help studentstake advantage of Augsburg's proximity to the many technicaUy+riented enterprises in the city. Thus the Department aims to provide its own majors with skills necessary to serve the larger community through a variety of m s .

Note: This is not a Natural Science major; it is a program for licensure. Students must still complete a college major. Professional nursing is a scholarly discipline that offers a unique service to individuals, families and communities as they pursue goals to promote, maintain or restore their health. This service, as defined by the profession, is the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems. The xope of professional nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work not only in hospitals and clinics but in corporations, government agencies, communities and their own independent practices; they are direct care-givers, researchers, teachers, leaders, managers, administrators and consultants. The expanding practice of professional nursing mpkes practitioners who are liberally educated in the humanities, in the natural and social sciences and in nursing theory and methodology, and who are critical thinkers and ethical decision-makers.The nursing major, informed by study in the liberal artstradition and nursing theory, process, and research, prepares registered nurses for professional practice based on knowledge, reasoned inquiry and professional values. Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for Public Health Nurse registration in Minnesota. With one additional course, they are eligible to apply for School Nurse certification. Requirements for admission to the major are: completion of an associate degree or diploma program in nursing with a minimum overall grade point average of 25; a w e n t license to practice as a registered nurse in the state of Minnesota; and completion of courses in inorganic chemistry, organic or biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, English composition, introductory sociology and introductory psychology. Students must take these courses at Augsburg or another accredited college or university prior to admission to the nursing major. The prerequisite courses in sociology, psychology, English, chemistry and biology listed above may apply toward distribution/general education requirements as well as toward admission to the major. All prerequisite courses must be taken using the traditional grading system and must have been completed at the 2.0 level or above. Courses with grades below 2.0 must be repeated or challenged satisfactorily. In addition, applicants must validate their theoretical knowledge via written testing prior to acceptance to the major. These tests are given at Augsburg through the Department of Nursing. Applicants must give evidence of current nursing clinical practice within the past five years. This may include 1) graduation from a school of nursing, 2) work experience, or 3) completion of a nursing refresher course, or an acceptableequivalent All students are required to take the NLN Baccalaureate Comprehensive Examination during the last semester of their senior year.

The Philosophy Department assists students to understand issues raised in the traditional areas of philosophy. To this end, we consider problems of knowledge and questions of truth, the nature of reality, the basis of values and rules for correct reasoning. Our goals am to instill in students a love of truth, to inspire a curiosity about the sipficance and meaning of the world they experience and to develop the skills of critical analysis and creative synthesis. The liberal arts curriculum provides an opportunity for students to explore different aspects of the world from a variety of perspectives or disciplines. Philosophy plays a central role in the liberal arts by encouraging students to explore questions about themselves, human experience, right and wrong, the world and God.Ekpmng with two Somatic principles: "The unexamined life is not worth living" and l'Know yourself," the study of philosophy assists students in the realization of their unique potential for understanding and self-fulfillment Four courses in the history of philosophy -begmmng with the ancient Greeks and Romans and continuing through the Medieval and the Renaissance periods to the present -form the core of the philosophy program. In these courses students are taught how to read, understand and criticize great texts of Western civilization. In addition, students have the opportunity to explore the relation of philosophy to other disciplines and to take advanced seminarsin special topics. This major has been carefully planned so that students can easily have two majors. Though some majors go on to graduate school in philosophy, most use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine or the Christian ministry. Many enter the marketplace, confident that the study of philosophy has given them the ability to think critically. I Philosophy Faculty: Bruce Reichenbach (Chaiierson), David Apolloni, Kenneth Bailey, Mark Fuehrer, Paul Holmer Major: Nine courses, including 230,241,242,343,344, and a course in the 400s (other than 499). Five of the courses must be Upper Division. Honors Major: Admission to the Philosophy Honors program is by recommendation of the Philosophy faculty.Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student's choice, involving research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the Department. Minor: Five courses including two from 241,242,343, and 344. I 110 Introduction to Philosophy Though each person has his or her own set of ideas and beliefs, rarely have they been critically analyzed or evaluated for their consistency, adequacy or truth. One reason for this is that individuals lack the needed skills. Another is that they may have had little opportunityto examine critically some of the ideas basic to Western culture. The purpose of this course is to provide the student with some experience in examining ideas and thereby to sharpen the critical and analytical skills required to evaluate and construct a system of ideas and beliefs. 120 Ethics Ethics studies our moral beliefs, helping studentsto consider the basis which they use to make moral judgments. The course explores the rnapr philosophical approachesto evaluating moral actions and then applies these approaches to contemporary personal and social moral issues. This enables students to be aware of the nature of value disputes, the different perspectives taken and the reasoning used to resolve them. Throughout the course Christian ethics will inform our considerations. Students taking 120 may not take 125. 125 Ethics and Human Identity This course is a philosophical study of the role of human understanding, feelings and action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. We begin by asking what the end or purpose of human life is, assessing the role of reason, will and passion with respect to this end, and then deciding on the moral and intellectual virtues required to reach the end. The topic of friendship and human loves is investigated next. The course ends with an analysis of human happiness. Students taking 125 may not take 120. 230 Logic Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn the rules which govern valid arguments and develop their ability to recognize and construct sound arguments. The last part of the course focuses on inductive reasoning. 241 History of Philosophy I: The Classical Philosophers The writings of Plato and Aristotle are the foundations of all philosophical thought in Western civilization. In this course students will read and analyze some of the key works by Plato and Aristotle. In addition, other philosophical schools of thought in the ancient world will be studied: Stoicism, Epicureanism and Neoplatonism, in order to familiarizethe student with the other elements that constitute classical philosophy. 242 History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy The Middle Ages was a period of great synthesisof elements of Christian revelation, classical philosophy and Islamic culture. In this course students will read writings by St. Anselm, St. Bonaventure, Occam, St. Thomas Aquinas, Hildegard and Nicholas of Cusa in order to understand the process of philosophical assimilation involved in constructinga Christian philosophy. Sincethe Renaissance intensified the medieval synthesis, students willbe exposed to the thought of Pico, Ficino and Bruno. 299 Directed Study Independent Study for Lower Division credit. 343 Historyof Philosophy Ill: Enlightenment and 19th Century Philosophy Does knowledge begin with innate ideas or with experience? Can we get beyond our own concepts to know the world itself! What is an idealistic view of the world? This course studies the mapr rationalists of the 17th Century (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz), the mapr empiricists of the 18th Century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume), Kant's synthesis of philosophy and 19th Century Idealism and the reaction to it (Marx, Kierkegaard, Nietzxhe). (Suggestedprior course, 241 or 242) 344 History of Philosophy IV: 20th Century Philosophy What lies behind 20th Century philosophys love affair with language? Is truth that which works? Can we remake philosophy as a rigorous science? These and other issues are dealt with in a study of the major representatives of linguistic analysis, pragmatism, existentialism and phenomenology. (Suggested prior course, 241,242 or 343) 350 Philosophy of Religion What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and if so, what can be said about God? Can we reconcile the goodness of God with human and animal suffering? Are miracles possible? Are we really immortal? We will conduct a systematicinquiry into these questions which form the basis of religious beliefs. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy. Cross-listed with Religion 350) 355 Oriental Philosophy A study of the basic concepts and philosophies which underlie Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianismand Taoism. (Suggested: one prior course in philosophy) 360 Political Philosophy By studying the writings of political philosophers from antiquityup to the modem period, students will be asked to examine crucial questions concerning the organization of human society.The relation of the nature of the state to religion, the home and the aty will be looked at through the eyes of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Dante and Machiavelli. 365 Philosophy of Science The course explores whether scientists' knowledge of the world is profoundly different from and better than that of the nonscientist, what constitutes scientific knowledge and the degree of certainty yielded by the methods used by scientists to attain knowledge. In addition to dealing with these questions, students will work in researching and developing philosophical problems in the special sciences. (Suggested prior course, 230 or one course in natural science) 370 Existentialism Studies in the writings -both philosophical and literary -of prominent Existentialist authors. We will examine what it means to be a being-in-theworld and explore such themes as absurdity, freedom, guilt, despair and paradox. (Suggested:one prior course in philosophy) 380 Ethics of Medicine and Health Care Application of ethical principles to problems which arise in the areas of health care and delivery, human experimentation, genetic engineering, abortion, care for the dying and euthanasia. 399 Internship Internship for Upper Division credit. 410 Topics in Philosophy Advanced studies covering a specific area of philosophy, such as philosophical movements, the history of an idea or specific problem or interdisciplinaryproblems.

(Suggested prior courses: 241,242,343 or consent of instructor) 499 Independent Study Individual study and research on some philosophical topic of interest to the student, worked out in consultation with the faculty adviser. See Health and Physical Education Physicists are not only curious about the world, but ambitious as well. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles which describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Called "natural philosophers" in previous centuries, physicists investigate natural systems by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging in size from sub-atomic particles to the largest of galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero temperature to the fiery activity of the stars. As a fascinatingand expanding area of study and as a basic science, physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributesto society's understandingof such areas as energy, weather, medical science and space exploration Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing that keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an ever increasing M e n g e , the Department intends to bring to the students not only basic concepts but also insights into recent developments. In this process, the faculty expects challenges to arise, be met and stimulate sound thinking, perceptive judgment and an interest in experimental techniques. To this end a rigorous major provides students with the in-depth preparation required for graduate study. More than two-thirds of the graduates in Physics have completed or are currently working toward graduate degrees at a number of fine universities across the nation. A major in physics provides flexibility. It also serves as a stepping stone for graduate work in related areas such as computer science, atmospheric science and meteorology, astronomy, oceanography, biophysics, environmentalscience, engineering and medical and health related fields. In addition, the Physics program at Augsburg functions in a supportiverole for students majoring in mathematics, chemistry, biology and computer science. The Department also supervises the Pre-Engineeringprogram with degree programs available at cooperating universities at both the bachelois and the advanced degree levels. The Department maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences. Several students work each academic year and summer as research assistants in these efforts, which are supported by NASA, the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies. The Department also administers Augsburg College's portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, fundedby NASA. Cooperative Education, Internship and Undergraduate Research programs provide opportunitiesfor students to apply their physical science knowledge and problem solving skills in practical situations in industrial, govemmental and academic settings. Studentsmay participate in alternating term Co-op programs or work part-time during two or moR academic terms. Internship opportunitiesalone generally involve only one semester. The Department serves the liberal arts tradition by offering courses for the non-science students that will enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses seek to provide the basic starting point for further study and the opportunity to enable students to follow new developments with some degree of comp~hension.

P O ~SCIENCE L DEP- (POL) Firmly grounded in the liberal artstradition, political science has mots in the humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of statistical analysis, it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and sigruficanceof authority in human affairs establish the focusof political science; because politics is a central and enduring reality in the world, it affects and is affected by many other human concerns. As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and analysis to examine political reality and to suggest and test alternatives. The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and values, investigatepolitical cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare political systems and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student will be encouraged to relate insights from other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history and sociology to the study of politics. Providing work in several sub-fields of political science, the major supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in the discipline, as well as in public adminstration, public policy analysis, law and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service, business, communications and other fields. Lqplative and other Intemships, as well as si@cant independent research projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg Political Science students in the Twin Cities area; combined with broad, balanced and flexible course offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a successful career. Augsburg Political Science students have the benefit of an experienced faculty that brings a balanced expertise to the course offerings, as well as speual strengthsin interpreting politics in the contexts of the mass communications media, communism, and American public law. The Departmental faculty is committed to the view that the study of politics, involving as it does an understanding of the human heritage and the importance of informed choice in human affairs, is an important as@ of liberal learnings.

(prey.: consent of instructor) Psychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of a liberal education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved understanding of human behavior by studyinghow people cope with their environment and interact with each other. The Department's courseshave three basic goals: (1)to introduce the student to the m m n t information and methods in psychology as well as earlier approaches to psychological questions; (2) to develop the ability to analyze, interpret and evaluate behavioral researchIand (3) to provide practice in the application of these principles. The Department program provides an emphasis on both field experiences and the theoretical foundation for graduate study in psychology and related areas. Cooperative Education and Internships are designed to provide students with practical pre-professional experience.On-thepb experience gives students the opportunity to test career fields and develop professional contacts. Psychologistsuse a variety of methods to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology at Augsburg have varied professional specializations which include areas such as counseling, physiological psychology, human development, personality and computer applications. The Psychology program's emphasis on the use of a problem solving approach, the acquisition of information about human development and interaction, and the development of human relations skills can be beneficial in careers in business, education and other social services, the church and government, as well as in careers such as research, law and medicine. Student interns are placed in the metropolitan area where they can acquire practical, pre-professional experienceand develop professional contacts. This program mutually benefits the students and the community.

Augsburg College understands itself as a college of the church and it is persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective from which to undertake its educational task The biblical faith and tradition of the Christian church have influenced the Western world to a degree much greater than is sometimes recogruzed. They have affected and continue to influence language, literature, history, values and political structures. The student encounters this religious tradition in studying these and other areas. The study of religion and theology is intended to make such encounters more meaningful by a better knowledge of biblical history and that of the Christian church and by a larger acquaintance with theological thought. While it is true that the fundamental orientation of this College is to the Christian faith, it is also true that the field of religion obviously includes more thanis represented by the Christian faith. Large segments of the earth's population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different from those prominent in the West. The Department of Religion seeks to introduce students to some of these major religious traditions. Coursesin religion are not intended to be footnotes to courses in other disciplines and departments. The study of religion and the discipline of theology have an integrity of their own. It is the hope and expectation of the Department that students will become better acquainted with the content and character of the Christian faith, enabling them to reflect theologically on their own religious commitment. The College offers both a major and a minor in Religion. Studentswho wish to work in the church as a parish or youth worker or as a director of Christian Education may find a major in Religion appropriatefor that purpose. Religion Faculty: Philip Quanbeck (Chairperson),John Benson, Bradley Holt, Lynne Lorenzen, Curtis Peter, William Russell, Eugene Skibbe Major: Eight courses, including 111,221,356,481 and 495, the seminar especially for majors, taken in the junior or senior year. Before taking the seminar, each major must have written one formal research paper and placed it on file with the Department Chairperson. Only one Interim course may be applied to the major. One Upper Division New Testament Greek course may be applied to the major. Religion Major with a Concentrationin Youth and Family Minis* This major requires nine courses including an Internship. In addition to the courses required for a Religion mapr, namely REL 111,221,356,481 and 495, the following are required: REL 342,343,415, and a supervised Internship in the Youth and Family area. Consultation with one of the staff members in the Youth and Family Institute is required in order that proper preparation in discipline areas outside the Department of Religion may be achieved. Program for Christian Day School Teachers: Students pursue one of the regular teacher education programs in the Department of Education to prepare for licensure by the State of Minnesota. In addition to the licensure program, five courses in reliion are required: 111,221,362, The Christian Day School (Interim) and The Lutheran Heritage (Interim). Student Teaching experience is required in both a public school setting and in a Christian Day School. This program prepares students who are intmsted in teaching in Christian day schools, particularly those of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, although participation is not limited to such schools. Honors Major: GPA of 3.3 in the mapr and 3.0 overall; research project approved by the Department and colloquium with the Department. Minor: Five courses.

SOCIALWORKDEPARTMEW (SWK) The SocialWork mapr prepares graduates for entry-level professional practice in the field of human services. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The program is based on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates to work with individuals, families, groups, communities and to develop and analyze social policy. Several courses within the program utilize a student empowerment model for teaching and learning. Augsburg's social work mapr also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a variety of fields.Augsburg also offers a full-time Master of Social Work d e p e on a weekend schedule. The College's commitment to the liberal arts is highly compatible with education for professional social work practice. The liberal arts with its emphasis on breadth of understanding, cultural and ethnic diversity, openness to new ideas, analysis and synthesis, is an ideal foundation for socialwork education. As Sir Richard Livingston has said, "A technician is a person who knows everytlung there is to know about his/her p b except its ultimate purpose and social consequence." Effective .socialworkers should not be technicians. Augsburg social work graduates are entry level professionals. Augsburg College's motto, "Education for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of the SocialWork Department. Unique learning opportunities for field work placement and cultural enrichment are provided by a metropolitan setting known for a humane quality of life which is enhanced by the arts, outstanding human services, and a highly-educated populace. Social work opportunities abound. Minnesota is known for the vitality and relevance of its social services. The Twin Cities, as the hub for these services, provides both a plethora of field placements for social work students and external experts for the classroom The ethnic and economic diversity present in this metropolitan area provides opportunities for socialwork students to learn to understand, appreciate, respect and work with people different from themselves and to be enriched by this opportunity to interact with diverse clients and professionals. The Social Work Program strives to contribute to its environment as well as to gain from it. Appropriately, social work students have been involved in a wide variety of community service efforts including helping to develop the LINK program on campus, mobilizing studentsto assist a social service agency in their annual Christmas giving program, and tutoring at a local neighborhood center. The Social Welfare minor and electives in the Department allow students to support another major while gaining knowledge about human needs and growth, human services and the methods of effective citizenship. Students taking these courses have the opportunity to become knowledgeable about public issues and develop and nurture a perspective that sees the central importance of diversity to the social fabric of this country. But beyond knowledge, students are encouraged to use their talents and skills to address the needs of society in the interest of the public good.

As a relatively young discipline, sociology provides yet another perspective on a theme which is common to many of the disciplines in a liberal arts curriculum, namely the theme that humans a w "social animals." Sociologyemphasizes the extent to which the human inclination to interact socially comes to exhibit r e g u l m patterns over time. These pattern together form a society or a social structure. Sociology seeks to understand these societal patterns. Sociologyalso seeks to understand patterns within the great variety of institutions that exist in a society. The SociologyDepartment at Augsburg is designed to help students think sociologically in terms of obtaining an understandingof society and developing skills in analyzing social institutions and patterns. Students are encouraged to select as electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships, independent study, Interim courses and field studies. The Department urges students to use Augsburg's urban setting as a laboratory for learning. A major in sociology can p-are one for a variety of Careers or for advanced professional studies. Cooperative Education and Internships enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in the personnel departmentsof both government and private corporations, in industrial relations work and in program evaluation Others have used their majors as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, the ministry, social work and urban planning. The Department of Sociology welcomes students who, in their quest for a liberal education, are looking for new and different ways of understanding and appreciating the often taken-for-granted aspects of our world.

Students may appeal refund decisions through the Petition Committee. Current financial aid regulations and program provisions are disclosed with the financial aid notice. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is normally a combination of scholarships, grants, loans and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church and private agencies in providing various aid programs. Nine out of 10Augsburg students receive financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and/or part-time employment. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg Financial Aid Application determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis estimates the amount a student and family can be expected to provide for college expenses, using the a p proved federal formula and taking into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependents, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs and special considerations. How AND WHEN TO APPLY (P.26) General Information The Financial Aid Office can supply you with detailed instructions when applying for financial aid. Financial aid applications are processed and the awards are released in the order they are completed. All financial aid is contingent on available funds and current regulations. It is the student's responsibility to obtain funds from non-Augsburg sources (e.g., Pel1 Grant, Minnesota State Grant). Although Augsburg will estimate these resources where appropriate, they must be confirmed by the funding source. Application Process 1.Apply for admission to Augsburg College. No financial aid notification is made until the student has applied and been accepted for admission. 2. Obtain the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from a high school or college financial aid office and complete the application form. Mail the completed application to Federal Student Aid Programs in the envelope provided. 3. Obtain and complete the Augsburg Financial Aid Application. Submit this form and the required 1992 Federal Tax forms to the Student Financial ServicesOffice at Augsburg. I, ,I 1 4. Priority will be given to applications filed by April 15,1993. Application materials postmarked after April 15 will be awarded on a first-come, firstserved basis, based on available funds. Applications completed after July 1,1993, may not be processed by Augsburg until October 1,and then based on available funds. Students enrolling for the fall term with incomplete financial aid applications must be prepared to meet the full cost of the term without financial aid. 5. Within four to six weeks, Augsburg will receive the analysis. If at that time you are accepted for admission, the Financial Aid Committee will meet and review your eligibility for all the programs available. A letter will be sent to you detailing your financial aid offer. 6. Acceptance of this financial aid package is required within the deadline stated. If necessary, the appropriate loan forms and/or work applications will be sent to you. 7. All transfer students must submit a financial aid transcript from each institution previously attended regardless of whether or not you received aid at the institution. Returning students who attend summer sessions at another school are also required to provide the Financial Aid Transcript.

General Information HISTORY AND AIMS FUNDAMENTAL AIMS T h e educationai purposes of Augsburg College and Theological Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is rhe fundamental force for good in human life. All rhe aims of rhe College, as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctty the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty: T o lead the studemt to a deeper understanding and pe~sonal realization of the truth and power of the Chr3stian Gospel, to the end that he may become an effective participant in the evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and for society. To fawiliarize fbe d t ~ d e n twith the rult7~r.cof 01tr owrt a d other rhilizothtr~,not only for the enjoyment this knowledge aÂ£fords but also for the development of a more sympathetic understanding of our fellow men throughout the world. T o dmelop fbe student's ititeresf it# flse attainment of t h ~ r o ~ ~ ~parposes w m of m&rcu?~.rr.try, so that he may work f o r the wetfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our liberties in communiry and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and participarion in human affairs throughout the rest of the worId. T o cultivate in the student a Cht-istian social spirit, in order that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men. T o teach the shcdefzt to discijlitre his own urges, interests, ambitions, and Aemunds in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character. T o train the studercf in scientific methods of study and also develop his understanding of the relations of science to the welfare of humanity. To stirnd.de intellectuul iderest and dewelup schhzrly insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy and comprehension at the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the findings of science with the deepest spiritual reality. T o a w b n and foster in the student an intelligent appreciatfon and enjoyment of the best in the fields of the fine arts. T o guide the student in the 1cnderstading of sochd relationsb@s in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sincerity. T o provide guidance for the studeat in the discovery and clarification of his aptitudes and his Zife purposes so that as early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely. T o t r h s t d e n t s in voc~tionaland professicmctl lines, giving full preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home economics, and parish work; furnishing partial training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year college course preparing for the study of theology. T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language, music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work, and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase his egciency in the various relationships of life. T o aford tbe student wblesome r e m e a t i d experieme which will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with good recreational habits, thus providing a constant source of social and personal satisfaction. T o iastrzcct the student in principles, attjtudes, and ideas pertaining t o health, and also to train him in practices and skills which will promate his physical and mental well-being and make him better fit to meet the responsibilities of life. The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the College, is done on the basis of Christianity.

The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the in 1879. In ~ g o a high EIChPoIcawme covering three years was e s d i & d which in 19x0 w a ~ w a standard four-pr came, This was Wntieaed in 1933. In the years I ~ X & E ~ Xthe ~ cnlIep first class was graduated course was thoroughly revised in conformity with modern developments. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the strictly classical course has been largely modified and supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general emphasis upon the study of the humanities. During 'the past ten years Majors' have been added in the fields of Business Administration, Sckiology, Physical Education, Music, and Home Economics. Until 1921 only men were admitted, but in that year coeducation was introduced. In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been introduction of new courses and enlargement of the faculty. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved such an arrangement mutually wholesome and stimulating. Five Presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its history. The terms of oflice of two of these cover a span of over half a century. The first President was August Weenaas, who served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, I 876 t o 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 191I and was followed by George Sverdru~,whose term extended from I 9 I I to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937 until the election of Bernhard Christensen in 1938. From I 870 to I 890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body with two others, in 1890, resulted in the aililiation of Augsburg with the newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due to ditFerences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose, and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in Augsburg formed the Luthcrzn Free Church. The resulting close association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony of purpose and ideals for more than haIf a century. The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Cor- poration through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control over property, finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested in the President and the Faculty. In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which has materially increased with the growth and development of the College, the chief hancial support of the institution comes from the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a' growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church, both alumni and others, have contributed financially t o the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education. Augsburg College is a member of the Association of American college& the National Lutheran Educational Conference, the Association of Minnesota Colleges, and the State Council of Minnesota Colleges. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT LOCATION Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the Riverside Park area of South Minneapolis, across the Mississippi River from the University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration oaces, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first Avenue South. Augsburg students have the advantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections. They may hear the best music and lectures. They may contact modern life at one of its focal points. BUILDINGS The Main, erected in 1900, contains the Chapel, the Library, the Seminary classrooms and osces, and a number of college classrooms and ogces. Science Hall, erected in 1948-49 and taken into use at the beginning of the present school year, is a large and completely modern college building. I t includes, besides the administration offices, well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Home Economics, as well as the student organization offices, the Student Center, a small auditorium, classrooms,. and faculty offices. On the fourth floor is the Tower Prayer Chapel. Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a modern, fireproof dormitory affording living quarters for about 150 men. On the ground floor of this building is the college cafeteria and dining hall. Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939, is a splendid dormitory accommodating about 50 women. Plans are under way for the erection of an addition to this dormitory. Morton Hall, erected in 1888, and Edda House, purchased and remodeled in 1948, are smaller dormitories for women, each accommodating about 2 0 students. During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on 23rd Avenue across the Square from the older part of the Campus. The Gymnasium, a well-built and well-equipped temporary structure, was erected for the College by the Federal Works Agency as a part of a program providing educational facilities for veterans. The Music Hall, formerly the Tabernacle Baptist Church, was acquired by purchase, and remodeled to serve the needs of the Music Department. Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and student housing until this need can be met through more permanent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground. The President's Home, a beautiful residence of modern architectural design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in 1949. Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented manv valuable gifts. There are several collections: a Madagascar Col- lection, a Santal Collection, and a considerable collection of rare minerals, curios, etc. Contributions should be sent to Prof. L. Lillehei, Curator. In the spring of 1929 the Augsburg Archive Society was organized. The purpose of this organization is to gather and preserve documents, books, and other articles of historical value. To house the Archives a fire-proof room which was provided in the Main has been replaced recently by a large room on the ground floor of Science Hall. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals, old and rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also about ~ , o o ovolumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording rich resources for scholarly research. Further contributions to the Archives should be sent to Prof. L. Lillehei, Archivist. The collectio~sin the Library aggregate about 26,000 volumes exclusive of pamphlets. Two hundred of the best periodicals, and pamphlets dealing with popular subjects, and a number of serials devoted to the interests of special fields are received currently. Students have access to the Library daily from 7:45 A. M. to 1o:oo P. M. On Saturday the Library closes at 4:00 P. M. In the Twin City area other libraries are located which make their holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St. Paul and Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues library cards to out-of-town students for each school year; the James Hill Reference Library in St. Paul, which has one 'of the finest reference collections in the Northwest; and the University of Minnesota Library, which is within walking distance of the Augsburg campus and is a splendid source of materials for research papers. Each year Augsburg students make extensive use of all these libraries. The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the Science Hall. Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located on the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for Chemistry, and a laboratory and the two storeroams for Physics are located on the third floor. To facilitate instruction the callege provides many excellent visual and auditory aids. Available for classroom use, and for the use of other college activities, are the following: 16mm. sound movie projector, 3 I / q q inch slide projector (several), 2 y ' ~ 2 yslide y projector, Balopticon, sound ampliiication system, film strip projector, magnetic tape recording machine. There is also a well equipped photography department. The Auditorium in Science Hall is fully equipped for visual education classes and lectures. Several classrooms are also provided with facilities for projection. The Book Shoppe of The Messenger Press is located at 2120 Riverside Avenue, one block from the campus. Here are readily available not only text-books, stationery, and supplies, but $50 a fine selection of Christian literature. EXPENSES For Theological students, tuition is free.

While the exercises of classroom, laboratory, and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but very real supplementary influences have much to do with creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious attention to this personal and spiritual side of their development and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus. I t is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at- GENERALINFORMATION mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerfully fostered in the life of each student. 23 In order to help toward attaining these goals the faculty and students gather in chapel every day for a brief meditation upon the Word of God and the deepest needs of the human soul. Regular attendance is expected of all students. All students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses &red in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are urged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is heId twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly. CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and cultural advantages which the Northwest has to offer. Excellent art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stimulus and development. CONVOCATION Regular convocation programs are held a t Augsburg &roughout the year. These programs aim to acquaint the campus community with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A wide range of interests is covered, including the scientzc, political, social, religious, and artistic. STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION The coordination of the many ~ersonnelservices is the responsibility of a twelve-member Faculty Council headed by the Dean of the College. Individual members of the Council or subcommittees direct the various activities, which include academic and personal counseling, housing and food service, recreation and health, employment and placement, and student activities. 1 The Luther League, the Mission Society, the Lutheran Student Association, the National Student Association Council, and a large number of departmental and special interest clubs are directly supervised by the Student Council. A Student-Faculty committee of eight members promotes and supervises student activities serving as a liaison between the Faculty and Student Councils. The counseling program for new students begins as soon as the Admissions and Scholarship Committee has approved their applications. All available data concerning each prospective student are combined with test results obtained during Freshman Week for use during registration. Each new student is assigned a faculty counselor, generally on the basis of mutual academic interest. This assignment continues for the first two years. At a scheduled period during Freshman Week, the student meets with his counselor for registration. At least three additional counseling periods are scheduled for each semester. Whenever he feels the need, the student is encouraged to see his counselor for help to discover and develop as fully as p a sible his latent abilities. Upper-class students are counseled by their major advisers. Additional counseling is provided for the students by the use of student counselors. Each entering Freshman is assigned a student counselor, who works with a faculty counselor in each instance. The program is organized by a Student Counselor Steering Committee working with the Personnel Committee. Adjustment to college is one of several subjects introduced during Freshman Week. The various phases of this important problem of personal adjustment are given thorough study in the Orientation course which meets one hour per week throughout the first semester. Vocational possibilities within the divisional organization of the College are presented and course sequences are discussed. Personal and health probl&s, social adjustment, vocational and educational aims are examined from the point of view of individual needs. Special problems in counseling are referred to the Personnel Committee, which is composed of a member of the Department of Christianity, the Registrar, a professor of Psychology, the Director of Physical Education, the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Men, who serves as chairman. The administration of the counseling program is the work of the Personnel Committee. A system of referral makes available to any student the resources and special abilities of the entire faculty. Through all phases of the counseling program, the primary aim is the welfare of the individual student. The personal problems of the students are dealt with in the light of the following spiritual purposes and ideals. It is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence, both on and off campus, shall be worthy of a member of a Christian College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality of life and to the fellowship in which it is nourished should not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and environment must be the product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public dances, indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable card playing. Students enrolled at Augsburg must, therefore, not participate in such practices. Augsburg reserves the right t o dismiss or to discipline any student who is not amenable t o advice and direction. The school likewise reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed although no formal charge is made against him. RECREATION AND SOCIALLIFE "No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. A t Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards the use of leisure time in general. Wholesome social activities of many kinds are fostered and encouraged. Also in this area the goal is "to see all things through the eyes of Christ." The Stdent Center, in the new Science Hall, serves as a social, cultural, and conference area for students. During the day, students use the Center as a general reading and committee room. The campus post o6ce is adjacent to the Student Center, as are also The Student Council Room and The Echo and The Augsburgian o0ices. The Prayer Chapel in the tower of the new Science Hall is open at all times for quiet meditation and prayer. Smaller groups may request the use of the chapel for devotional meetings. A room for off campus men is located in Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall and for off campus women in Morton Hall. All students who are not living at home are required to room in the College dormitories, unless permission to room elsewhere is granted by one of the Deans. Such permission must be secured before final arrangements are made. Residents in dormitories are required to take their meals in the College dining hall except those students who are employed away from the College. The charges for room and board are payable in advance. The residence halls are open for the occupancy of students on the day preceding the beginning of registration. Temporary arrangements may be made for students who have permission to come early to seek employment. Meals are served commencing on the morning of the first. day of registration. Dormitories are officially closed daring all vacations within twenty-four hours after the last session of -class work except by special arrangement with the Deans. Dormitory residents are held responsible for breakage or injury to the furniture and furnishings. The College believes in the educational value of group living under faculty supervision. It is expected that life in the dormitories should foster the development of Christian character, selfcontrol, and consideration for the rights of others. SVERDRUP-OFTEDAL MEMORIAL &L This dormitory for men, erected in 1938, accommodates about students. The modern arrangement of the dormitory, with its suites of two rooms for every three or four students, helps to make this an inviting College home for men. The rooms are furnished except for bedding and linen. I 50 HOUSINGFOR WOMEN The college operates a cottage plan of supervised residences for women, pending the building of the planned additions to Sivertsen Hall. College-operated residences for women include Sivertsen Hall, 2323 South Sixth Street, which houses fifty; Morton Hall, 730 rznd Avenue South, which houses twenty; Edda House, 2222 7% Street South, which houses twenty-four. Rooms are furnished except for bedding and linens. Laundry facilities are provided in each unit. Assignment of rooms is made after the first of August. An attempt is made to assign the rooms so as to meet the student interests and needs, and to create congenial housing units. Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939 through the generosity of Dr. Ivar Sivertsen, accommodates about fifty Freshman women students. The first floor has a large reception room used for social functions. In the basement are a kitchenette and a recreation room. Applications for rooms should be sent as soon as a student is notified of his acceptance. Applicants will be assigned to dormitory rooms in the order in which their applications are received. Rooms are assigned to present occupants of the dormitories by August first. After that, they are assigned to new applicants in the order of application. Students who cannot be accommodated in permanent dormitories may find rooms in temporary housing units.

General Information PURPOSE Augsburg College is a four-year liberal arts college sponsored by the Lutheran Free Church for the purpose of giving young people an opportunity to obtain a broad education in a Christian environment. In addition to a general education, students may prepare themselves for such vocations as high school teaching, business administration, medical technology, secretarial work, parish work, missions, and social work. They may prepare for further study in the fields of dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, nursing, and theology, as well as for graduate study in various fields. The Skminary, with its facilities on the same campus, offers a three-year rheological course leading to a Bachelor of Theology degree. Its purpose is to prepare pastors and missionaries for the Lutheran Free Ohurch. LOCATION Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the Riverside Park area of South Minneapolis, across the Mississippi River from the University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration offices, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first Avenue South. Augsburg students have the advantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections. They may hear the best in music and lectures. Minneapolis is recognized throughout the nation as a vital center of religious life and activity. Outstanding leaders in many fields both from other parts of America and from foreign countries are frequent visitors. College students in the Twin Cities have abundant opportunity to contact present day life at one of its focal points. HISTORICAL SKETCH Augsburg was begun as a seminary in I 869, at Marshall, W'~sconsin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed in the academy building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out satisfactorily; so the theological group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest. The college was established when it became evident that in order to get students who were adequately prepared for theological study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for the professions. The latter course, however, had to be discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too few students selected the course. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879. In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college course was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the earlier classical course was greatly modified and supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general emphasis upon the study of the humanities. In recent years there has ,been continuous study and modification of the curriculum including the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was adopted in 1945. At the present time majors are offered in 17 fields. Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921. In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been a continuing revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses. The requirement of a six-month period of internship was added in 1939. Standards of admission have ,been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved this arrangement to be mutually wholesome and stimulating. Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its history. The terms of o6ce of two of these cover a span of over half a century. The first president was August Weenaas, who served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, 1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was followed by George Sverdru~,whose term extended from 191I to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as acting president from 1937 until 1938. Bernhard Christensen, the present president, has served since that time. FUNDAMENTAL AIMS The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human life. All the aims of the College, as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctly the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty: T o lead the student to cr deeper understanding and personal realization of the truth and pvwer of the Chistian Gospel, to the end that he may become an eeective participant in the evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and for society. To familiarize the student with the clcltare of our own and other civilizatiolts, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge affords but also for the development of a more sympathetic understanding of our fellow men throughout the world. T o develop the student's ittterest in the attahment of the comnum pwposes of our counhy, so that he may work for the welfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our liberties in community and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and participation in human affairs throughout the rest of the world. T o cdtivate in the student a Christian social spirit, in order that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men. To teach t h e student t o discipline his own urges, interests, amhtiuns, and demands in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character. To train t h e student in scientific methods of study and also develop his understanding of the relations of science to the welfare of humanity. To stimulate intellectual interest and develop s c h o l l y insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy and comprehension a t the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the findings of science with the deepest spiritual reality. To awaken and foster in the student a n intelligent appreciation and enjoyment of t h e best in t h e fields of t h e fine arts. T o guide the student in the understanding of social relationships in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sincerity. T o provide guidance fw the student in the discovery and clarification of his aptitudes and his life Purposes so that as early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely. T o train students in vocational and professicmaZ lines, giving full preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home economics, and parish work; furnishing partial training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year college course preparing for the study of theology. T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language, music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work, and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase his eaciency in the various relationships of life. T o agord t h e student wholesome recreational experience which will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with good recreational habits, thus providing a constant source of social and personal satisfaction. T o instruct t h e student in principles, attitudes, and ideas pertaining to health, and also to train him in practices and skills which will promote his physical and mental well-being and make him better fit to meet the responsibilities of life. The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the College, is done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with the distinct understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things. They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school towards that end. The entire program of the school, curricular and extra-curricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim "to see all things through the eyes of Christ." Enrollment in Augsburg College and Theological Seminary presupposes on the part of the student full cooperation in the ways prescribed for the attainment of these aims. FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND CONTROL From I 870 to I 890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body with two others, in 1890, resulted in the afdiation of Augsburg with the newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due to cMerences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose, and in x 897 congregations whose sympathia were deeply rooted in Augsburg formed the Lutheran Free Church. The resulting close association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony of purpose and ideals for more than half a century. The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Corporation through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control over property, finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested in the President and the Faculty. In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which has materially increased with the growth and development of the College, rhe chief financial support of the institution comes from the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church, both alumni and others, have contributed financially to the sup- port of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education. MEMBERSHIP IN EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS.

THE AUGSBURG FOUNDATION The Augsburg Foundation, formerly the Augsburg Foundation Fellowship, is an association of alumni, former students, and other friends of Augsburg, having as its purpose to give united and systematic support, ,both spiritual and financial, to the school. The Foundation was estgblished in 1941 by joint action of the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Association. Its work is directed by a General Committee of nine members. A Foundation Day is held each year. EDUCATIONAL PLANT BUILDINGS The Main, erected in 1900, contains the Chapel, the Library, the Seminary classrooms and oflices, and a number of college classrooms and oflices. Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, is a large and completely modern college building. It includes, besides the administration of- fices, well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Home Economics, as well as the student organization &ces, the Student Center, a small auditorium, classrooms, and faculty osces. On the fourth floor is the Tower Prayer Chapel. Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a modem, fireproof dormitory affording living quarters for about 150 men. On the ground floor of this building is the college cafeteria and dining hall. Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939, is a comfortable dormitory accommodating about 50 women. Morton Hall, erected in 1888, Edda House, purchased and remodeled in 1948, and Miriam House, acquired in 195 I, are smaller dormitories for women, each accommodating about 20 students. During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on ~ 3 r Avenue d across the Square from the older part of the Campus. The Gymnasium, an adequate temporary structure, was erected for the College by the Federal Works Agency as a part of a program providing educational facilities for veterans. The Music Hall was acquired by purchase and remodeled to serve the needs of the Music Department. Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and student housing until this need can be met through more permanent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground. The President's Home, a residence of modern architectural design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in 1949. Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented many t s . There are several collections: a Madagascar Cdvaluable d lection, a Santal Collection, and a considerable collection of rare minerals, curios, etc. Contributions to the Museum are invited. In the spring of 1929 the Augsburg Archive Society was organized. The purpose of this organization is to gather and preseme documents, books, and other articles of historical value. To house the Archives a fire-proof room which was provided in the Main has been replaced recently by a large room on the ground floor of Science Hall. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals, old and rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also about I ,000 volumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording rich resources for scholarly research. Further contributions to the Archives should be sent to Prof. Iver Olson, Archivist. The collections in the Library aggregate about 27,700 volumes exclusive of pamphlets. About three hundred of the best periodicals, and pamphlets dealing with various subjects, and a number of serials devoted to the interests of special fields are received currently. Students have access to the Library daily from 7:45 A. M. to 1o:oo P. M. On Saturday the Library closes at 4:30 P. M. In the Twin City area other libraries are located-which make their holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St. Paul and Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues library cards to out-of-town students for each school year; the James Hill Reference Library in St. Paul, which has one of the finest reference collections in the Northwest; and the University of Minnesota Library, which is within walking distance of the Augsburg campus and is a splendid source of materials for research papers. Each year Augsburg students make extensive use of all these libraries. NATURALSCIENCELABORATORIES The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the Science Hall. Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located on the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for Chemistry, and a laboratory and the .two storerooms for Physics are located on the third floor. To facilitate instruction the college provides many excellent visual and auditory aids. Available for classroom use, and for the use of other college activities, are the following: Two 16mm. sound movie projectors, two 3 I/4x4 inch slide projectors, three 2x2 slide projectors, a Balopticon, a sound amplification system, two film strip projectors, and a magnetic tape recording machine.

OF NURSING AFFILIATIONWITH SCHOOLS Student nurses in the Schools of Nooursing at the Lutheran Deaconess and Swedish Hospitals in Minneapolis receive much of their first semester of instruction at Augsburg College. Application for admission to the Schools of Nursing should be made to the hospitals directly. In cooperation with the Minneapolis General Hospital, Augsburg offers work which enables the student to receive a college degree with a major in Medical Technology. The first three years of this work are taken at Augsburg and a final twelve-month program is completed at the hospital.- Financial Information STUDENT EXPENSES A considerable part of the income on whiah Augsburg operates is derived from endowment and from gifts, a major part of the latter coming from the supporting church. Therefore, the fees charged the student do not constitute h e whole cost of his education, for he enjoys the benefits of the gifts of those who 'believe in and support rhe work of the school. Fm theological students, the church assumes the full cost of tuition; a statement of other expenses in attending the seminary is given in the Seminary section of the catalog.

Student Community Life 1 3 CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory, and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but very real supplementary iQuences have much t o do with creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg d e h i t e emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious attention to this personal and spiritual side of their development and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus. It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerf d y fostered in each life. All students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses offered in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are encouraged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student will h d a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly. I t is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence, both on and 06 campus, shall be worthy of a member of a Christian College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality of life and to the fellowship in which it is nourished should not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and environment must be the product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. THE CHAPEL SERVICE The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the daily Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gatfier for united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular attendance is expected of all students. DISCIPLINE The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public dances, indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable card playing. Students enrolled at Augsburg are expected, therefore, not to participate in such practices. Augsburg reserves the right to dismiss or to discipline any student who is not amenable to advice and direction. The school likewise reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed although no formal charge is made against him. CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and cultural advantages offered in the Upper Midwest. Excellent art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs and other concerts afford rich opportunity for music appreciation. In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stimulus and development. CONVOCATION Regular convocation programs are held at Augsburg throughout the year. These programs aim to acquaint the campus community with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A wide range of interests is covered, including the scientiiic, political, social, religious, and artistic. RECREATION AND SOCIAL LIFE "No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. At Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards the use of leisure time in general. Wholesale social activities of of many kinds are fostered and encouraged. STUDENT AREAS The Student Center, the Student Council Room, the Augsburgian and Augsburg Echo Offices in Science Hall are headquarters for many student events and provide opportunity for students, both campus and city, to meet informally and to promote student activities. The recreation room at Sivertsen Hall, the gymnasium, the Dining Hall, and the reception rooms in the various residences provide opportunities for informal social gattherings and for study and discussion groups.

Intercollegiate athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the fact that competitive play can contribute to the development of student interests, skills, insights, and loyalties. More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: ( I ) The student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit, 'both in and out of athletics, such ,basic qualities of character as self- discipline, honesty, sense of fair play, and cmperation. ( 2 ) The participant should develop the knowledge, interests, and skills which will be of special use to him in such vocations as teaching and coaching or recreational leadership, or in his own recreational activities. Far from being set apart from his educational goal or in any way competing with it, the student's participation in intercollegiate athletics must either contribute directly to this goal or be complementary to his other educational activities. ( 3 ) The student spectator should acquire and exhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such as self-restraint, sense of fair play, appreciation of high grade performance on the part of both opponents and fellow-students, and respect for individual personality. (4) The intercollegiate a~hleticprogram should contribute to the development of a unified and healthy "schml spirit". Enthusiasm for intercollegiate athletics or other cocurricular activities should not overshadow pride in high scholastic achievement, nor can it take the place of a well-rounded and effective intramural and general recreational program. CITIZENSHIP Brotherhood Week. The last week in February is devoted to developing Christian concepts of brotherhood, with speakers for the Campus Chest Fund Campaign speaking for Brotherhood. Future Teachers of America. The Martin Quanbeck chapter on the Augsburg campus is open to all students who are interested in education and especially those preparing for the teaching profession.

Student Personnel Services ADMINISTRATION College students face many new opportunities and not a few problems. Some problems disappear soon after the student has enrolled .but in many cases others appear during the four years of college. In order to help students to make the most of the opportunities and to provide help in the solution of problems, Augsburg College has developed a number of services for students. These include Freshman orientation, vocational and aptitude testing, counseling, housing and food service, health service, recreation and leisure time activities, hancial aids, student employment service, and extra-curriculdr activities. Graduating seniors and alumni benefit from the services of the Placement Oflice. The administrative phase of these services is centered in the of6ce of the Dean of Students. Plans and policy are formulated by the Student Personnel Committee. FRESHh4A.N ORIENTATION Freshmen and other new students participate in "Freshman Days" before the beginning of classes in the fall semester. The students take tests, inspect the college facilities, and become acquainted with heir fellow students, with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty counselors. Several conferences with the faculty counselors are scheduled for the students, during which they plan their program of study. All freshmen enroll-in a class in Orientation. In this course, the students learn about standards and requirements of various areas of college life. Methods and habits of study and related techniques are explored. Personal health, social adjustment, personal finances and vocational aims are discussed. TESTING A battery of aptitude, ability and interest tests are administered free to all new students during Freshman Days. College aptitude scores, English and reading ability scores are obtained far later use by counselors in helping students plan their programs. Personal adjustment scores and vocational interest scores help the students select occupational goals and future careers. COUNSELING The purpose of counseling is to give the student individual help in all areas of adjustment to college life. The insight and techniques of adjustment learned will also serve him later in life. Each new student is assigned a faculty counselor who may serve for two years. Counselors for juniors and seniors are their major advisers. The deans and other administrative oi3icers are general counselors to all students. The Faculty counselor helps the student plan his educational program in accordance with 'his life aims and interests.

We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. Discovering Your Gifts and Talents The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Early Leaders Establish a Direction August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway— Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 130 years. Education for Service Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 40 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Weekend College offers 17 majors and a number of certificate programs. Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.” In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. Mission Statement The Focus Changed Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr., became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen. The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles Selection from over 50 Majors “Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.” 10 A College of the Church I Augsburg College 2010-2011 About Augsburg made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. A College in the City Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all ages — in the midst of a great city — to be faithful citizens of the world. • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; • Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master’s degree programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies, and social work. The College’s first doctoral program, in nursing practice, has been approved. For information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Undergraduate education is offered both on weekday semester programs, and alternate weekend trimester programs. The graduate programs generally follow the trimester schedule. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn. and a center in Bloomington, Minn. Weekend College Augsburg’s Weekend College (WEC) provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a baccalaureate degree and work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled each term and a variety of majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges. The Adult Learner Augsburg’s Weekend College is based on the assumption that adult students are mature, self-disciplined, and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for independent study and class preparation. Augsburg Today Alternate Weekends Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to four Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 11 About Augsburg hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. WEC students may take from one to four courses each term. The WEC academic year is divided into three trimesters (fall, winter, and spring), so that students may complete three terms in the traditional nine-month academic year. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students to make use of College facilities, such as Lindell Library, and to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, student organizations, fine arts, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student body elects its own leaders through the WEC Student Senate. Augsburg for Adults Through the Augsburg for Adults program office, Augsburg continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of adult students by creating new programs, providing faculty and staff development in adult learning, and serving adult and non-traditional students. Students are recognized as adult learners from age 25 to 60-plus whether they take courses in the traditional day program, the Weekend College program, or any of the graduate programs. To learn more about graduate studies at Augsburg, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Weekend College Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their teaching. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activities at the College. Professors are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Weekend College’s small classes facilitate the College’s tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Rochester campus Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. In Rochester, six undergraduate majors, plus a certificate program in business management, are offered. 12 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city. Rochester, a city of about 100,000 residents, enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester schedule, on weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. Several complete degree programs are available through the Rochester campus. In addition, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis. Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software.

College of the Third Age Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning in part through its College of the Third Age. College of the Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than 30 years ago to serve older adults by encouraging lifelong learning, fostering interactive discussion, and to introducing new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world.

Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2009-2010 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), current tax documents, and the Augsburg Aid form help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations. How to Apply The following are required to process your financial aid application: 1. Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular student or be a returning student in good academic standing with the College. 2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA. Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA electronically online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Student Life Student Life Student Life Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, but learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the metropolitan area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. Campus Ministry As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. Weekend College Chapel is held each Saturday morning when classes meet. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Vocation Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely valuable. In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called Exploring Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith, learning, service, and work. Over the years, the program has 26 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a wide variety of short-term projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning. These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or church leadership. Because Exploring Our Gifts will end in the summer 2010, the College recently created a permanent center—the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning—that will keep vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision well into the future. This new center will continue many of the current initiatives and will carry on the work of promoting discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students, faculty, and staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community. For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit the Lilly Resource Center, Memorial Hall, room 231, or the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning, Oren Gateway Center, room 106.

CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain full access to the College curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences. Each term disability specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include: • Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking) • Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, general technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) • Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Computer Laboratory 28 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 • Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills CLASS specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisers, and other members of the College faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of those opportunities, however, remains the student’s responsibility. These services are available to any Augsburg student who establishes eligibility by submitting appropriate documentation to the CLASS office. A copy of the Guidelines for Documentation of a Disability can be obtained by contacting the CLASS Office. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. These services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation.

The director of International Student Advising is responsible for: • Fulfilling duties of Principal Designated School Official (PDSO) for F-1 student visa program and Responsible Officer (RO) for J-1 student/scholar exchange program • General advocacy for international students • Advising the International Student Organization • Facilitating intercultural skill-building sessions for students, faculty, and staff • Celebrating diversity of cultures by increasing awareness of international/intercultural issues New international students participate in an orientation program that provides practical information on housing, health insurance, taxes, banking, local transportation, and applying for a social security card. Students use intercultural communication theory to explore their adjustment to a new culture and education system. The International Student Organization (ISO) provides a forum for the interests and concerns of international students and fosters productive interaction among them, the college administration, and U.S. students. This mission is accomplished through yearly programming of events such as International Education Week, sponsorship of forums on international issues, and outings to sites of interest in the community. Information on how to get involved is available through ISA. (Also see Study Opportunities Abroad on page 42 and Student Teaching Abroad on page 42.) Student Life Residence Life Program Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library, classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name. Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher grade point average. Department of Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities. Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or issues. Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with hook-ups for telephone, cable television, computers, and internet access.

Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 33 Student Life College Policies Student Standards of Behavior, Complaints, Records The College has adopted a statement of standards for student behavior and has provided for due process in matters of academic honesty, disciplinary action, and grievances. These are in the Student Guide. The College operates in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Students have the right to inspect certain official records, files, and data that pertain to them and that are maintained in the registrar’s office and the placement office, and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Information on these policies is found in the Student Guide available on the website at www.augsburg.edu/ studentguide. Official Notices Students will receive official notices via the student campus mail system (student campus box), the A-Mail publication, and the student’s Augsburg e-mail account. Students should check their campus mailbox and their student e-mail account regularly. The A-Mail is a daily online publication on Inside Augsburg. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg’s policy is published in this catalog on page 62 and in the Student Guide distributed annually to students. Augsburg College understands that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. Complete information about Augsburg’s procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar. 34 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 Discrimination Complaints For inquiries or grievances in any of the following areas, contact the director of human resources, ground floor, Memorial Hall 19, 612-330-1023.

Academic Information Academic Information Academic Information Augsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students must be educated intellectually, spiritually, and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required Search for Meaning courses are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce them to other faith traditions, and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of science degrees. Augsburg also offers the master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and education), the master of business administration, the master of science (in physician assistant studies), the master of social work, and the doctor of nursing practice degrees. Academic Calendar The Augsburg day program follows the semester calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Full-time students normally take four course credits each semester. The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students can take a course on another campus during the regular term.** Weekend College classes typically meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a trimester calendar. Some classes may meet on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is held from early September through mid-December. Winter trimester meets from January through early April. Spring classes are held from mid-April through the end of June. There are 7-8 class sessions each trimester, and classes meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program schedule for weekday evening meeting times.) Students may take from one to four classes each term.** The Rochester campus operates on a trimester calendar. Classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate 36 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 weeks. Similar to Weekend College, Rochester’s fall trimester begins in September, winter trimester begins in January, and spring trimester begins in April. There are 7-8 class sessions each trimester with each class meeting for 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Students may take one to four classes each term.** **See Registration on page 48 and Calendars on page 6 Courses and majors offered through Weekend College and the Rochester campus are the same as their Day College counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Augsburg offers two summer school sessions, plus two summer online options. Select graduate-level courses may be made available in a separate summer term. The summer session schedule is available in March of each year. Augsburg graduate programs follow a trimester calendar, except for physician assistant studies. (See Graduate Programs on page 47.) Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Every first-year is assigned an Augsburg Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. Library and Information Technology Services The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses all library and information technology functions of the College. In addition to the 190,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, curriculum library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall.

Academic Organization and Programs Divisions and Departments The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes. Fine Arts and Humanities—American Indian studies, art, communication studies, English, history, languages and crosscultural studies, music, philosophy, religion, theatre arts, College librarians. Natural and Social Sciences—Biology, chemistry, computer Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Some students decide on a major or majors before they enter college. Others explore a variety of disciplines before deciding. A major at Augsburg shall require no more than 13.0 credits from any one academic department. The Academic Affairs Committee may amend this credit maximum in support of industry or professional accreditation standards. Students may complete non-required electives within the department beyond the 13.0 credit limit. The College requires students to declare a major by the end of the sophomore year, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the course description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation; however, minors completed prior to graduation will be listed on the transcript. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a bachelor’s degree has been awarded. Student-Designed Major Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisers from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisers must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisers’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 37 Academic Information oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes: a. A statement of learning goals and objectives. b. A list of proposed courses (minimum of nine, no more than one of which is a lower-level language course and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Strommen Career and Internship Center for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled. c. A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisers. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisers must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the studentdesigned major program by all advisers presumes their approval of the capstone course. 3. Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the dean’s office. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisers regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with adviser approval. ACTC Majors—It is possible for full-time day students to complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major or Minor Declaration Form to the Augsburg registrar’s office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the ACTC school adviser. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance determined by the major department. Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. 38 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 Other Study Programs Teaching Licensure Several teaching licensure programs are offered at Augsburg.

Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which a student has cross-registered is kept in the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not the host ACTC institution. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students between the campuses. Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)— Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Norway, Northern Ireland, Latin America, and the Twin Cities.

This is determined prior to departure when students fill out the required Credit Agreement form that is signed by academic advisers and appropriate staff and faculty approving courses. Students should be aware of the following policies related to study abroad: • Students can study abroad more than once. • Students can study abroad at any point in their academic career. Semester and Summer Programs • Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year will meet the Augsburg residency requirement. • You must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs. • You must take courses A-F while abroad. • Grades received on affiliated and non-Augsburg programs are reported as transfer credit on your transcript, and thus are not figured into your GPA. Academic Information • A “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg. Faculty-led Short-term Programs • Students must register for all courses required by the shortterm program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Augsburg Abroad Office. Any courses removed by the student without Augsburg Abroad permission prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded. • Overload Fee Exemption for faculty-led January and Spring Weekend College (WEC) programs: January and spring WEC faculty-led programs are placed within the spring semester. However, full-time Day students will not be billed an overload fee if an additional 4.0 or 4.5 credits are taken in the regular spring term. A student taking minimal credits in the spring can use the January or Spring WEC faculty-led short-term program as a spring term course in order to be considered part-time or full-time. • Crossover Policy Exemption: The crossover policy does not apply to study abroad students. WEC students who do a study abroad program placed in the Day program do not count that as their crossover course. The same policy exemption is valid for Day students doing a study abroad program scheduled in a WEC term. Eligibility and Application The following are Augsburg College’s requirements for study abroad: • Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with Augsburg Abroad. • Be a sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you study abroad. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader. • Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus. • Not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to study abroad may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all non-recoverable program costs incurred. • Not have an outstanding balance on your student account. • Be aware that students applying to faculty-led programs, who meet the above criteria, are accepted on a rolling basis; space is limited on these programs so applying early is important. Application deadlines for semester programs are: October 1: Spring semester study abroad and January faculty-led programs February 1: Spring WEC term and Summer Session faculty-led programs March 1: Fall semester and non-faculty led summer study abroad programs Program provider deadlines vary; students need to meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by program providers. Students should start planning in their first year for study abroad to be sure to do appropriate research and meet all deadlines. Students are accepted to study on faculty-led programs on a first applied, first accepted basis. ACCESS/CLASS Abroad Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. Students are encouraged work closely with Augsburg Abroad/CLASS/ACCESS. Students are responsible for requesting accommodations abroad within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection. Augsburg Abroad will work closely with the student, CLASS, and /or ACCESS offices to determine needs and make appropriate and possible accommodations abroad. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of study abroad is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad fees. These costs vary from program to program. Augsburg College pays the program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for study abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying abroad. Students who receive financial aid, scholarships, and/ or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to cover their study abroad program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., Presidential, Regents, Legacy, Promise and other Augsburg scholarships, and tuition remission benefit) may use their scholarships to study abroad multiple times on Augsburg Programs (see below in Study Abroad Program section). However, institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward study abroad costs on an affiliate or non-Augsburg program. Cost estimates for the time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad. Students are required to notify Augsburg Abroad immediately if they choose not to continue with their study abroad experience. At the moment of notification non-recoverable Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 43 Academic Information costs will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal students may owe nothing, the study abroad fee, the deposit, or some, or all, of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of their program provider. Study Abroad Programs Students have over 200 programs in over 90 countries from which to choose. In addition to the below Augsburg College programs, students can choose from affiliated program providers. These programs have been reviewed to meet the Augsburg experience requirement, diverse needs of students, and provide quality student service. The programs are reviewed each year. If students cannot find a program that meets their needs from the Augsburg College or Augsburg-affiliated options then they can apply to do a non-Augsburg program. Students with a strong academic or financial reason, faculty support (as shown on the Credit Agreement form), and who choose a good quality program, may be approved. The Center for Global Education The mission of the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading to a more just and sustainable world. The center’s study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with other students in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting, and several weeks living with host families. In the Mexico and Namibia programs, students travel together on two-week seminars — from Mexico to Central America, and from Namibia to South Africa.

May/Summer Abroad May and summer courses to many parts of the world enable students to earn credit through short-term travel. Contact Augsburg Abroad for the most current list of programs. Clair and Gladys Strommen Career and Internship Center The Strommen Career and Internship Center is a comprehensive resource center emphasizing the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development and the exploration of vocation throughout their college years. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth and depth to the curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic and career decisions. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for life, meaningful work, and active citizenship. Career Services Career Services provides opportunities, programs, and career counseling to help students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career paths, and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 45 Academic Information development while attending college. To aid in this process, professional career staff provide career assessments and individualized career planning and coaching. Staff assist students with choosing majors, locating internships, preparing for internship and job searches, graduate school applications, and making connections to community, business, and alumni resources. Internships Academic Credit An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic related objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students often do internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, schools, and churches. Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester, Weekend College trimester or summer sessions. Inter-disciplinary (INS) internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and Grading on page 58. Internships can be registered for 1 course credit or .5 credit. One course credit involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 10 hours per week or 140 total hours. Internships for .5 credit require a minimum of 80 total hours. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Internships completed off-campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Non-Credit and Transcript Notation Non-credit internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit transcript notation. The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting and reflect on the experience. Work opportunities typically are part-time during the academic year and/or full time during summer and can begin and end anytime. Students must set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center supervises non-credit internships and transcript notation work experiences. Internships not for credit and transcript notations may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. 46 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning Service-Learning and Community Engagement/ Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community Service-learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of community-service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the City, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of community service-learning sites include: homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring programs and literacy centers. Campus Kitchen Project and Community Garden The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger community by using food as a tool to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service-learning. To accomplish these goals, three separate programs exist: 1) FOOD TO SHARE—Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated and served by student volunteers to neighborhood partners including: homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. 2) FOOD TO GROW—On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of 70 individual plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food. 3) FOOD TO BUY—A farmer’s market and CSA delivery is available weekly at Augsburg College and the Brian Coyle Community Center in order to increase access to healthy foods. Surplus produce from the market and CSA shares are donated to the Campus Kitchen meal delivery program. Bonner Leader Program In November of 2008-2009, Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders program, funded through the National Bonner Foundation. Through the Bonner program at Augsburg, students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their four years at Augsburg College. Those selected to be a part of the Augsburg College Bonner Leaders program were largely first-year students, with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds, and unique experience with community-leadership Academic Information roles. Through service placements with partner nonprofit community organizations, students worked an average of 200 hours over the course of the academic year in placements supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, helping coordinate a low-income housing program, providing community health outreach, and working with a financial literacy program. Beyond their work-study service internships, students participated in at least 100 hours of volunteer hours with various community initiatives and civic engagement projects on campus. Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders program, students engaged in monthly guided reflections and leadership development training. The Augsburg Bonner Community Leaders program is a successful campus model to build on the college’s culture of community and civic engagement and bring together existing community service programs to take us to the next level of deepening knowledge, reflection, and authenticity of civic engagement in the community.

The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program offers courses primarily on alternate Saturdays. There is also a Monday evening cohort offering of the program at Augsburg’s Bloomington site. (Note: A five-year program is available to Augsburg undergraduate accounting majors that would qualify them for CPA certification and fulfill requirements for a BA in accounting and an MA in leadership. See the Department of Business Administration, accounting major section of the catalog for further information.) The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health nursing practice across care settings, with emphasis on addressing health inequities among diverse populations. The program is offered within the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing, or Advanced Nursing Administration through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and/or Advanced Certification in Transcultural Nursing through the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS). Classes meet on a flexible schedule (every other week or once per month) that includes weekdays, weekday evenings, and Saturdays. Web-enhanced teaching is used for all classes. Practicums include optional short-term study abroad experiences. Students may choose to study in Mexico, Guatemala; Namibia; Pine Ridge; S.Dak.; and/or Europe.

Streamlined entry into the Master of Arts in Nursing—Students with an ADN and a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing can enter the Master of Arts in Nursing program as a “bridge student.” This process requires acceptance to the MA program and completion of three courses in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program. Students in good standing in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program can enter the MA in nursing through an “expedited” process. After successful application to the MA program while still a student in the undergraduate program, students can take three designated courses in the Master of Arts in Nursing, which will be applied to the M.A. at Augsburg upon successful completion of the undergraduate nursing degree. The Doctor of Nursing Practice is a post-master’s program for registered nurses (RNs) who currently hold a master’s degree in nursing. The DNP at Augsburg will prepare nurses to guide system level changes that improve health outcomes of persons underserved by the current health system. The program emphasizes transcultural nursing leadership to Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 47 Academic Information maximize health through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential across care settings with emphasis on health inequities in a global context. In addition to emphasizing transcultural nursing, the DNP curriculum also focuses on advanced community/public health nursing and holistic health. The Master of Business Administration is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge necessary to advance in their careers and accept roles of greater responsibility in an organization. Meeting primarily on one evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 23 months. Organized in cohort format, the program encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex environments. An intensive management consulting course allows students to apply theory and classroom learning to an actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and organizations provide a laboratory for students as they complete comprehensive projects in various disciplines and functions. The core program can be enhanced through participation in a number of concentrations including finance, healthcare management, human resource management, international business, and marketing management. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies is designed for students interested in careers as healthcare providers. The mission of the program is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of, and is oriented toward providing care to, underserved populations.

The program is three years long with classes held Monday through Friday during the day. The Master of Social Work, accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the College and supports the College’s mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. There are two concentrations: multicultural clinical practice (MCCP) or program development, policy, and administration (PDPA). Students choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus. The curriculum emphasizes work with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership for social change, and a holistic, strengths-based, problemsolving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. The multicultural clinical practice concentration prepares students to work with diverse peoples across the full range of contemporary clinical social work practice settings. The program development, policy, and administration concentration prepares students to actively seek equality and justice for 48 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy toward changing policies that obscure and oppress people.

Day students taking over 4.5 credits will pay the day part-time rate for any credits over 4.5 in their combined day/ WEC load (Spring day term will include both winter WEC and spring WEC). The maximum number of credits that may be included in the day full-time tuition rate for students who cross-register is 4.5. Students have registration priority in their home program. Crossover registration dates are published on the registrar’s office webpage. There is a special crossover registration form that must be processed at the Enrollment Center. This registration option is not available by Web. The WEC, Rochester, and Partner Hospitals programs are not part of the ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC/Rochester/hospital students may NOT cross over to attend ACTC courses. Students must have completed their undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint BA Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (Day, WEC, or Rochester). Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by filling out a Change of Program form available at the Enrollment Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins. Students registered in spring Day may not do a change of program into spring WEC. 50 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be completed in the Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the Enrollment Center or downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. The last day to file for a Withdrawal from College is the last day of classes prior to finals week. Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar’s office. Students must be re-admitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form is available from the Enrollment Center or can be downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. The student must provide a copy of their orders to the registrar. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the registrar will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or work out an “incomplete” agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refund adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the registrar and/or the dean’s office as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee reviews requests for exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the committee considers requests for: • Minor exceptions to academic requirements and/or approval of transfer course substitutions • Extending time for an incomplete • Permission to take a course overload • Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or grade option changes) Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a $50 petition fee attached to the petition. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of Academic Information the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/ withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term involved. For petitions requesting a late registration, any student account holds must be cleared before submitting the petition. Students who are allowed to add a course by petition after the published petition deadline will incur a $150 late registration fee per course. In addition, the committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic probation or dismissal from the College on academic grounds. The committee also hears appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. The committee reviews student requests for readmission to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while on probation, or students readmitting to the College immediately after a term from which they withdrew from College. The committee typically meets every other week throughout the school year (September-April), and once a month during summer. Petition Process Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the Enrollment Center or download from the registrar’s webpage, www.augsburg.edu/ registrar/. Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness or family emergency. Have your adviser, instructor, or department chairs sign and add comments concerning your request. Petitions without comments from faculty will be returned for completion. Note: If petitioning for a change in registration, please submit a drop/add form signed by both the instructor and student. Step 3: Return the completed petition form to the Office of the Registrar/Enrollment Center; include signed drop/add form and $50 check if applicable. Step 4: After the committee meets, a copy of the petition with the committee’s decision is returned to the student. Day students will receive this notice in their campus box. WEC and Rochester student petitions will be mailed to their home address. Catalog Applicability Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg. Second Majors and Degrees Students who graduated from Augsburg and are returning to complete a second major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded. (BA, BM, BS) Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn both a BA in computer science and a BS in computer science, but may earn a BS in computer science and a BA in computational philosophy. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Office of the Registrar and is based on a student’s official transcript. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmentalremedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on a individual basis. The registrar’s office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than semester or quarter hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Transfer credits that have been reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Augsburg College limits transfer credit from two-year colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer from two-year institutions toward the minimum number of course credits required for a bachelor’s degree. However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their faculty adviser and the Office of the Registrar before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 51 Academic Information MnSCU Transfer Students Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300), and will waive one of two Lifetime Fitness requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C – or better. Transfer courses that equate to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer program, the A.A. degree and MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C–grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. Admission to a major—a separate process from admission to the College—is sometimes required. Please check with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and consult the departmental section of this catalog. Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 13 or more course credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below: • Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 and REL 200 • Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement • Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis • Waiver of the Entry-level Critical Thinking Assessment • Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. *Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. Transfer Credit for Military Experience Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Office of the Registrar for transfer credit evaluation. A military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and courses completed in the U.S. Armed Services. Augsburg will 52 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines. Army records maintained by AARTS: http://aarts.army.mil Navy and Marine Corps records maintained by SMART: https://smart.navy.mil Coast Guard records maintained by U.S. Coast Guard Institute: www.uscg.mil/hq/cgi/ve/official_transcript.asp Air Force Records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process. Graduation Requirements The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. All students are required to file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year prior to graduation. Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the registrar staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Office of the Registrar about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major. See page 18 — Special Students (Second Degree). Each student is required to apply for graduation at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s webpage. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Office of the Registrar in order for the degree to be conferred. (There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.) Requirements for Undergraduate Graduation Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence. 1. Completion of 32 course credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 32 total course credits required: two course credits by independent/directed study; four course credits of internship; and six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two elective P/N graded course credits. Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than two course credits with P grades toward a major and no Academic Information more than one course credit with a P grade toward a minor. The Department of Education is an example of a department that allows students to apply more than two course credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching). 2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum —Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in the next section. 4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certification programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence —A minimum of 8.0 course credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no fewer than 6.0 of the last 8.0 course credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) credits are counted against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the catalog description of the major/minor or the chair of the department for further information. Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 53 Academic Information The Augsburg Curriculum The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: the core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in college-level classes. The general education requirements, known as the Augsburg Core Curriculum, include signature courses and experiences, a liberal arts foundation, and skills development. Entry Level Skills Critical Thinking, Math, Writing (Assessments and Placements) Core Skills Effective Writing Modern Language Lifetime Fitness The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning I and II The Augsburg First Year Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project 54 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone The Liberal Arts Foundation Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Electives Majors Graduation Skills Critical Thinking Quantitative Reasoning Speaking Writing The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that: • Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills; • Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for meaning; and Academic Information • Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world — vocatio and caritas. The curriculum has three major components: • The Augsburg Signature Curriculum • The Liberal Arts Foundation • Skills Requirements Skills Requirements Entry Level Skills Assessments There are entry level skills assessments in: • Critical Thinking • Mathematics • Writing Placement in writing, math, and critical thinking courses is determined by assessments. These assessments are a prerequisite for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements. Critical Thinking Assessment and Requirement Students identified as needing the entry level critical thinking skill component, based on review of their past academic work, are required to complete GST 100 with a minimum grade of 2.0 or better. Mathematics Assessment and Requirement All students are required to have their math placement group (MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during College registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve MPG 3 by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Writing Assessment and Requirement A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111). Unless they have received formal approval of a course equivalent to ENL 111 on their transfer evaluation, transfer students must also take the writing placement exam. Students entering Weekend College or the Rochester program do not take the Writing Assessment. Core Skills Requirements Effective Writing ENL 111 Effective Writing or ENL 112 Advanced Effective Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, is required. Attendance the first day of class is required. Students should complete Effective Writing by the middle of the sophomore year. Modern Language For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement into French, German and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other modern languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed. Assessment is used for placement only and does not grant course credit. Students may audit, but will not receive course credit for any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-cultural Studies may override assessment results as deemed appropriate. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 55 Academic Information requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. More information about English Language Learners is found on page 92. Lifetime Fitness Two lifetime fitness courses are required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different Lifetime Activity courses (HPE 002, 003). Students may test out of the activity course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime Activity courses are non-credit courses and are not included in the 32-course credit graduation requirement. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Two required courses (REL 100 and REL 200) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the College’s related interest in asking students to think critically about the concept of vocation. Faculty who teach these courses make the following commitments to their students: • You are welcome—whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but not religious.” Our Christian understanding is rooted in a generous spirit of hospitality. • We will treat each other with respect as we learn how to engage in conversation with one another about our different values, commitments, convictions, and faith traditions. • We will challenge and support one another to develop a mature faith for our time—open to doubts and eager to explore our questions and the realities of our world and culture. • We will equip you with basic knowledge about vocation, religion, the Bible, and Christianity as well as about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—their stories, claims, and key concepts. • We will deepen our study of Christianity, explore Augsburg’s claim that “what we believe matters,” and invite you to continue the process of developing your own lived theology. • We will explore the concept of vocation and our understanding that we are beloved and called to live and serve as neighbors. We will explore the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. 56 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 The Augsburg First Year In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar All students who enter the College as first-year students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar (AugSem), a first-year learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. AugSem’s purpose is to help first-year students embrace the expectations and benefits of being a member of a learning community at Augsburg College by: • Encountering the community • Engaging the learning process • Exploring the self as scholar AugSem equips students to become intentional learners, connects them to the larger Augsburg community, and helps them succeed in future college work. Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. The course linked with their AugSem introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, or service learning. Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see core skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication between diverse writers and readers. Augsburg Experience All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning opportunities are recognized as Augsburg Experiences: internships (including fieldwork, practicums, and student teaching), faculty-student research, service learning/community service, study abroad, and offcampus immersion experiences. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1) integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) link on-campus learning to the goals, mission, needs, or ideas Academic Information of off-campus people, organizations, and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities, and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule or may be completed for zero credit outside the regular class schedule. The length of time required, credit/no-credit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences vary. Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. Students reflect on the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. The official list of approved keystone courses is found on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Senior Keystone. The Liberal Arts Foundation The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and Mathematics; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Humanities; and Fine Arts. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Liberal Arts Foundation. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology Humanities Two approved courses from two different departments/ programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), Women’s Studies Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100, 200, or 300) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Fine Arts Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theatre Arts. One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following: • Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115) • Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121) • Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141) Graduation Skills Requirements An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill has two components: foundational skills and the application of those skills. Courses in which foundational quantitative reasoning skills are taught have a QF designation. Courses that contain an embedded project in which students apply and practice those foundational skills have a QA designation. Courses that provide both foundational skills and an application project have a QFA designation. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning QF and QFA courses. Departments may designate one required course with a QF designation and one required course with a QA designation (departments may also designate a list of QF or QA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may designate a QFA course that fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning skill (departments may also designate a list of QFA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may list this skill as embedded. See department and program pages in this catalog, consult the graduation skills catalog supplement found online on the registrar’s webpage, or consult the department chair for more information. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver— Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 57 Academic Information the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Elementary Education • Health Education (teaching licensure only) • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physical Education (teaching licensure only) • Physics Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver—Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physics • See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 52. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.5 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or S (Satisfactory) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. Incomplete (I) Grades Evaluation and Grading Explanation of Grades The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via the AugNet Records and Registration website. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Pass/No Credit Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: • In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. • Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. • Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). • P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin Honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. • To be eligible for graduation with Latin Honors, students may elect only two P/N credits. 58 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 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 by the end of the term with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer Academic Information than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Withdrawal Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without notation on the record and before the last day to withdraw deadline. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The charge for part-time and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 21. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted.* *Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of course credits completed. • Sophomores—7 completed course credits • Juniors—15 completed course credits • Seniors—23 completed course credits Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB)—Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office and on the Academic Advising website. Advanced Placement Program (AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Additional information is available on the Academic Advising webpage and from the Office of the Registrar. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar and the Academic Advising webpage. Departmental Comprehensive Exams—These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: • There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. • There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. • The registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 59 Academic Information basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program—This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: • There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. • The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. • The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. • The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. • The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a nonrefundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning—While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the five assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, IB exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English Language Learners (ELL) Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the ELL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test prior to registering for their first term at Augsburg. Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101 Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON 111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption from ELL 60 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 courses) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English Language Learner’s course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student’s ELL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the Modern Language Core Skill requirement for graduation. Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation; however, certain majors require a higher minimum GPA. A student will be placed on probation and considered for continuation or dismissal if: • His/her cumulative GPA is below 2.00 • He/she is a first-year student who receives two (2) zero or No Pass grades • He/she is a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three (3) zero or No Pass grades • At the end of their first term, he/she has not fulfilled the requirements established through the Conditional Admit Program (refer to the Academic Skills Office Conditional Admit Program (CAP) section of the catalog). Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of a student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration used when deciding whether to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Students on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College must receive permission from the Student Standing Committee to re-enroll. Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to his/her commitment to academic success. A student will be removed from probation if: • His/her cumulative GPA reaches 2.00; or • He/ she was placed on probation because of unfulfilled Conditional Admit Requirements and he/she subsequently satisfies those requirements. Academic Information The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, lists undergraduate students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.50 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program’s calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean’s List. If permission has been given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper for those students on the Dean’s List. fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic accomplishment. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. The May commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program and for students in the Physician Assistant Studies graduate program. The June commencement ceremony is for students in the other five graduate programs as well as undergraduate students in Weekend College, Rochester campus, and the Partner Hospitals program. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring term; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms immediately following commencement. Latin Honors Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a baccalaureate degree. This designation and the standards set are in effect for all students who complete degree requirements in May 2004 or later. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 13454 Sunrise Valley Road, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.degreeverify.org Phone: 703-742-4200 Fax: 703-742-4239 E-mail: degreeverify@studentclearinghouse.org The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he/she may appeal the decision to the Student Standing Committee within 10 school days. Specific appeal instructions are included in the letter of dismissal. Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as Social Work, Education and Nursing. A student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is available at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/. Dean’s List Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00 GPA plus successful completion of the summa oral examination Magna cum laude: 3.80-3.89 GPA Cum laude: 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 14 traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted). For additional information, including the guidelines for the Summa Cum Laude oral examination, go to the Latin Honors section at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for veterans education. Veterans should consult with the V.A. certifying official in the Office of the Registrar about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. Additional information about veterans education benefits can be found at www.gibill.va.gov. Graduation and Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Notice The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 Augsburg College 2010-2011 I 61 Academic Information (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records—You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records—You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information —You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”—FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. 62 I Augsburg College 2010-2011 “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates); • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office—You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA.

The report is available online at www.augsburg.edu/dps/security/report.html. For a printed copy, contact Augsburg’s Department of Public Safety at 612-330-1717. Departments and Programs Departments and Programs Departments and Programs As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Course Descriptions Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College’s program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, day classes are offered fall and/or spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The schedule of classes offered through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) for fall and spring terms is only available online. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for Summer Session, the Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, Master of Social Work, and Doctor of Nursing Practice courses are published in a separate Graduate Studies catalog. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half or one-quarter course credit, are offered. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course is valued as four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most day program courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. All full credit Weekend College courses meet for eight three-and-one-half-hour sessions during fall and for seven four-hour sessions during winter and spring term. 64 I Augsburg College 2010-2012 Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Some prerequisites (such as ENL 111, math placement, and critical thinking) cannot be waived by the instructor. NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all schedules. Refer to Augnet Records and Registration for information on when specific courses are offered. Internships and Independent Studies Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional statements that can be found in the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. Internships Registration for internships consists of the following steps: 1. Obtain the internship registration permission form and secure the signatures of the faculty supervisor and director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center. 2. Register: Turn in the completed internship registration form (with all signatures) to the Enrollment Center. You must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience. 3. A learning agreement (forms are available in the Strommen Career and Internship Center) must be completed with the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the Strommen Career and Internship Center, with copies made for the faculty supervisor and student. 196 197 198 199 Internship/On-campus Internship/Off-campus (.5) Internship/On-campus (.5) Internship/Off-campus A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement.

It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves. At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity grow from the diversity of ideas experienced on a small campus in the heart of a major metropolitan area. We balance a solid foundation of drawing, design, and history with technical skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of media. On-campus galleries showcase the work of students as well as established artists. An innovative faculty pairs creative curriculum for traditional disciplines in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and photography with emerging disciplines in hand papermaking, book arts, architecture, and digital media. Class sizes are small; we will get to know each other. Galleries and museums surround us; art club, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time; service learning, internships, and study abroad are integral to our program. We reach an average of 700 students a year from all disciplines, graduating 25-30 majors annually with BA degrees in art history, studio art, art education; and certificates in studio art and graphic design. For over 40 years, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at Augsburg College. We’re excited to be here in the center of the city. We think you will be, too. robert k. tom (Chair), Kristin Anderson, Susan Boecher, Lynn Bollman, Tara Sweeney Degree and Major Requirements Studio Art Major Majors are required to begin their programs with the studio arts foundations: Design Drawing One course in two-dimensional art from: ART118 ART 223 ART 225 ART 257 Painting I Printmaking I Graphic Design I Watercolor Painting I One course in three-dimensional art from: ART 221 Sculpture I ART 250 Ceramics I ART 280 Hand Papermaking and Book Arts I Five additional studio arts courses ART 240 Art History Survey Two additional art history courses ART 405 Senior Exhibition and Faculty Review (.0 course) Studio majors must participate in a junior review, a solo or two-person show with a senior review, and the annual senior 70 Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements.

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

I Augsburg College 2010-2012 Chemistry Chemistry—CHM Chemistry is the science that examines and works toward understanding changes in matter. Chemistry has been described as the central science because matter includes the entire physical world, such as the things we use, the food we eat, and even ourselves. Correlating the insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas that excite and offer opportunities to benefit the entire world. Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their work, including potential problems as well as benefits. Chemists as people must be broadly educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as offered in the general education curriculum is imperative if a chemist is to be both truly human and truly scientific. Augsburg’s chemistry department is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields. Consonant with these ideals, the Department of Chemistry has established the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists: • To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS chemistry major to compete successfully with their peers of similar ability in graduate school or research positions, as well as professional goals other than traditional positions as chemists. • To provide an atmosphere of learning so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may change after graduation, and be able to move into new areas as opportunities arise. • To encourage students to take a broad view of their education and to integrate outside study areas with the sciences. • To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example of the methodology of the natural sciences in examining the world around us. The presentation of major concepts underlying the changes in matter, the opportunity to examine change in the physical world, and the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will enhance the ability of non-science persons to make better value judgments concerning science questions in their own endeavors.

Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 113 Economics Economics—ECO The Department of Economics offers a program that stresses a strong theoretical background, quantitative analysis, and an emphasis on national and international issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. The department offers five majors. The economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into the field of computer science. The combined economics/business administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in political science/ economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as a major or a minor. Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, management information systems, political science, history, and area study programs. Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in business are encouraged to either major or minor in mathematics. These students should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course suggestions. Augsburg offers degrees in economics, applied economics, business and economics, computational economics, and economics and political science (education majors only.) For the economics and applied economics majors, the capstone experience is Economics 490 Research Methods in Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their adviser for other alternatives. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the internship office before registering for academic credit. Note: Transfer students must complete at least three upper division economics courses for a major and two for a minor. Transfer classes must have been completed in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0 grade.

(Prereq.: MTLE and admission to department) Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 125 Engineering Engineering Augsburg College has cooperative arrangements with two universities to allow students to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis, or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser. Contact Jeff Johnson, Physics Department, 612-330-1070. University of Minnesota The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (BA/BE) enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the Institute of Technology. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the Institute of Technology may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Bachelor of Arts/Master of Engineering (BA/ME) enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of Technology. The curriculum is the same as the BA/BE curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the BA/ME program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the BA/ME program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology. 126 I Augsburg College 2010-2012 Michigan Technological University This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Michigan Technological University in a five-year period. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the engineering adviser of Augsburg College. Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Michigan Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg engineering adviser. Financial Aid Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineering school of their choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Degree and Major Requirements Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual-degree or three-two programs: CHM 115 CHM 116 CSC 170 ENL 111 PHY 121 PHY 122 General Chemistry General Chemistry Structured Programming Effective Writing General Physics I General Physics II Four mathematics courses are required: MAT 145 MAT 146 MAT 245 MAT 369 or PHY 327 Calculus I Calculus II Calculus III Modeling and Differential Equations Special Functions of Mathematical Physics Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 24 courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146 and PHY 121, 122 are taken in the first year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351, 352. English English—ENL Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life’s complexity, experience life as others do, and better understand the world in which we live and work. Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of four concentrations: Literature, Language and Theory; Media Writing; Creative Writing; and Secondary Licensure in Communication Arts/Literature. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language Learners (ELL) students, or tutoring in the writing lab. Students with an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

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

Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 135 Environmental Studies Environmental studies is the interdisciplinary investigation of human relations with the natural environment. The program pursues a multifaceted examination — across the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional studies — of the interdependence shared by people and nature. It provides an understanding of the material world as well as the ecological, social, and cultural processes and problems that bind that world together. Through the study of politics, biology, literature, chemistry, social work, economics, and history, environmental studies students focus on the most pressing local, regional, national, and global issues of our day. Augsburg College’s location in the city offers a particular opportunity for the close study of complex urban environments. Although many equate environmental issues with rural areas, most people live in cities. Urban residents shape nature in innumerable ways, including through energy, food, and water consumption; transportation; and industrial production. In turn, cities often serve as the settings in which environmental injustice flourishes. With that in mind, Augsburg’s environmental studies program fosters the simultaneous study of ecological quality and social justice. The program provides undergraduate training leading to a BA or a minor in environmental studies. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to comprehend ecological processes, recognize the many and varied forms of nature in the city, distinguish stakeholders’ interests in policy debates, decipher the context and variety of human experiences in nature, identify inequities in the access to and use of natural resources, and articulate responses grounded in multiple disciplinary insights to current urban environmental challenges. Drawing on their experiences in settings as diverse as the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the upper Mississippi River Valley, and Mexico, graduates of the program pursue vocations in nonprofit organizations, government policy and planning positions, law, education, ministry, and corporate settings.

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

The department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, Norwegian, and Spanish, as well as an interdisciplinary major in CrossCultural studies. Introductory courses in Ojibwe, Farsi, and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg students through the College’s affiliation with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities colleges. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines.

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

The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world.

The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding; nurses practice in hospitals, clinics, corporations, parishes, government agencies, schools, and community organizations, or in their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses provide comprehensive health care for persons, groups, and communities comprised of diverse cultures and socioeconomic levels throughout the life span. The bachelor’s degree equips nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of nursing. The nursing program at Augsburg also provides educational opportunities to increase skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation, and decision-making in preparation for challenging new nursing positions in emerging care systems. Augsburg’s nursing program, which leads to a bachelor of science degree with a major in nursing, is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate through the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. ing courses from another institution to meet requirements in the nursing major at Augsburg must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these graduation skills. The program has been planned so that courses in the nursing major can be completed over 15 months (full-time study, two courses per term) with a summer break; however, students may pursue their studies at a slower and more flexible pace. Courses in the nursing major are offered on weekday evenings with a practicum course (NUR 411) requiring additional weekday time. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of liberal arts (general education) courses needed to complete the BSN degree, and the number of credits transferred from other colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take nonnursing courses in both day school and Weekend College. Students interested in pursuing the nursing major should consult with BSN admissions staff in the Adult and Graduate Admissions Office for program planning. Departmental Honors Degree and Major Requirements Admission to the honors major requires: a GPA of at least 3.60 in the major and 3.30 overall, application to the department chair by November 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and honors thesis to be presented before a faculty committee by April 15.

There is a fee to audit courses. * This course involves an additional clinical tuition and 48 clinical practicum hours. Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 197 Philosophy Philosophy—PHI Philosophy is in an important sense the most fundamental of the disciplines. All of the sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, it is concerned with asking and answering the “big” questions that are the most basic. For example, Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the best? What is knowledge and what are its sources? Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by the study of philosophers from the past and present. The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, religious ministry, or journalism. Philosophy Faculty Markus Fuehrer (Chair), David Apolloni, Bruce Reichenbach Degree and Major Requirements Philosophy Major overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See Computer Science for course listing. Departmental Honors Admission to the philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student’s choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department. Philosophy Minor Five courses, including two from PHI 241, 242, 343, and 344.

Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 201 Physics Physics—PHY Physicists are a curious and ambitious lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called “natural philosophers,” physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from subatomic particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration. Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and the need to keep abreast of rapid technological advances, the department strives to give students not only an understanding of basic concepts, but also insights into recent developments. A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for further study and enable students to follow new developments in science with heightened awareness and comprehension. The department supervises the pre-engineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities at both the bachelor’s and advanced degree levels, and administers Augsburg College’s portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, funded by NASA. It also maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences and the Sverdrup Laboratory for Biophysics, with support from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and other private and public sources. Several students work as research assistants in these efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative education, internship, and undergraduate research programs provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 205 Poltical Science Political Science—POL Firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science shares concerns with the humanities, other behavioral sciences, and mathematics and the sciences. The role and significance of authority in human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced faculty that offers courses in all major areas of political science, and also possesses special expertise in the areas of campaigns and elections, comparative and international politics, mass communications and other information technolgoy, racial and ethnic politics, and American public law. Political scientists use systematic inquiry and analysis to examine political reality. The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student will be encouraged to relate insights from other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history, and sociology to the study of politics. Providing work in several subfields of political sciene, the major supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in political science, public administration, public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service, business, communications, and other fields. Legislative and other internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg political science students in the Twin Cities area. Combined with broad, balanced, and flexible course offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student’s potential for graduate study and a successful career.

As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. The study of psychology equips students to understand and use the scientific method to think creatively and critically beyond the classroom. To prepare students for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a strong foundation in research and theoretical work with the application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research experiences, and internships within the community. The curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential dimensions of learning and the integration of liberal arts and professional domains prepares students for careers in many settings including business, education, social services, research, law, government, church, and medicine. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling, physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning experiences including group and individual projects, Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student research teams. Psychology Faculty David Matz (Chair), Grace Dyrud, Stacy Freiheit, Lisa Jack, Bridget Robinson-Riegler, Nancy Steblay, Henry Yoon, Paloma Hesemeyer Degree and Major Requirements Major The major is 10 courses Foundations of Psychology PSY 105 PSY 215 PSY 315 Principles of Psychology Research Methods and Statistics I Research Methods and Statistics II At least one course from the following: PSY 325 PSY 354 PSY 355 Social Behavior Cognitive Psychology Biopsychology At least one course from the following: PSY 491 PSY 493 Advanced Research Seminar Seminar: Contemporary Issues Professional Perspectives (two courses) PSY 399/396 Internship At least one course from the following: PSY 201 PSY 263 Health Psychology Sports Psychology PSY 357 PSY 359 PSY 373 PSY 385 PSY 410 Behavioral Analysis Assessment Industrial/Organizational Psychology Counseling Psychology Clinical Neuropsychology Electives (three courses in psychology) Majors are encouraged to take more than the minimum 10 required psychology courses; no more than 13 course credits can count for graduation. Note: A minimum of five courses must be from Augsburg. No more than two courses from among PSY 199, 299, 399/396, and 499 may be counted. Graduation skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Transfer-course policy for majors and minors: All transfer courses, including ACTC courses, must be approved in writing by the chair. Only those psychology courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. In general, courses that meet the transfer guidelines may only be applied to elective or PSY 105 credit for the major. All psychology majors must have an adviser in the psychology department. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. Concentration in Psychology and Law The field of psychology and law involves the application of scientific and professional aspects of psychology to questions and issues relating to law and the legal system. This field encompasses contributions made in a number of different areas — research, clinical practice, public policy, and teaching/training among them — from a variety of orientations within the field of psychology, such as developmental, social, cognitive, neuropsychology, and clinical. Students in this concentration will participate in at least three experiential learning venues: laboratory research, a community-based internship, and study tours to Hennepin County Courts. See department chair for specific requirements. Concentration in Social Psychology Both the sociology and psychology departments offer courses relevant to students with interests in social psychology.

(Prereq.: PSY 315) I Augsburg College 2010-2012 Religion, Youth and Family Ministry Religion, Youth and Family Ministry—REL, YFM In today’s complex world, issues and conflicts are increasingly influenced by deeply-held religious beliefs and values. The study of religion at Augsburg College invites students on a search for meaning, challenging them to explore their own religious beliefs and those of their neighbors, gain a broader view of the role of faith in public life, and better understand our global context. As an academic discipline, religion probes many of life’s critical questions: • Who are we as human beings and where did we come from? • Why do bad things happen? • How can we live meaningful lives? • What happens after we die? • How do our values shape our choices? • What is our responsibility to others? • What texts are sacred and how should we read them? • How can we encourage cooperation and respect among people of different faiths? Students begin their search for meaning in the AugCore courses REL 100, 200, or 300. Here they learn to articulate their own beliefs and understand that what they believe really matters. Students engage in a close reading of the Bible and other sacred texts, study their historical contexts, and apply these insights to contemporary social issues. They also explore their own gifts and how they might be used in service of the broader community as they pursue a life of vocation. Students are invited to deepen their pursuit of these questions by choosing a major or minor in religion, which offers a wide range of courses in theology, biblical studies, and world religions. As a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Augsburg faculty and staff are eager to engage in dialog with Christians from all denominations, with people who practice other faith traditions, and with those who claim no particular beliefs. Faculty in the Religion Department represent several Christian denominations and model respectful dialogue with students from a variety of faith perspectives. We challenge all of our students to respect and learn from one another and to think critically about matters of faith and reason in our lives together. General Requirements Majors The Religion Department offers two majors: Religion (REL) and Youth and Family Ministry (YFM). Prerequisites Religion 100 (or 300 for advanced transfer students) is prerequisite to all other courses. Graduation Requirements Courses designated REL and YFM are offered by the religion department. A maximum of 13 total REL and YFM courses may be applied toward the 32-course requirement for graduation. Taking extra electives in REL or YFM may require students to complete more than the minimum 32 courses required for graduation. Transfer Courses All transfer courses for majors and minors, including ACTC courses, must be approved in writing by the chair. Only courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. In general, courses that meet the transfer guidelines may only be applied to elective credit for the major. Students who have taken an approved introductory course in Bible and/or Christian theology at another college may take REL 300 in place of the College REL 100 and 200 requirement; consult the registrar’s office. Advising All majors must have an adviser in the department. Departmental Honors GPA of 3.50 in the major and 3.00 overall, research project approved by the department, and colloquium with the department. Application must be received by the department by Dec. 30 of the student’s senior year.

Since the major requires only eight courses, students are encouraged to double-major in a related field. Students considering seminary should attend two Bible courses, and one course in theology or church history. Students planning on graduate studies in Religion ought to complete one Bible course, a world religions course, and the Philosophy of Religion course. A religion major also provides strong preparation for graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, church history, and related fields. The major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently, skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools.

Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 223 Social Work Social Work—SWK Students in social work are preparing to engage in professional practice with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations. Students learn to become skilled at designing change strategies with clients that promote individual change, social justice, and empowerment. The curriculum includes classroom instruction, agency practicum, social work skills development, history of social work and social welfare in the United States, analysis of social welfare policy, and social science research. In and out of the classroom, students study privilege and oppression and engage with diverse communities. In the end, our students are prepared to practice in multi-cultural settings. Those graduating with a social work major receive a Bachelor of Science degree in social work and are eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. Students interested in a graduate degree in social work (MSW) are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work program. The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program, reducing the number of credits needed. Both the baccalaureate and graduate social work programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Social work graduates embody the Augsburg College motto, “Education for Service.” One example of this motto in action is the extensive service learning and practica assignments embedded in the social work curriculum. Students begin service learning early in their major and engage in over 400 hours of agency based training, supervised by licensed social workers. The Twin Cities offers a variety of innovative and professional programs and agencies. Students are encouraged to train with and learn from these local, regional, and national leaders in social work.

Augsburg College 2010-2012 I 227 Sociology Sociology—SOC Sociology is the scientific study of society as a whole and of human social organization in groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how human beings come to think and act as they do. The goal of the department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of the social order, an understanding of how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their vocation. Sociology majors develop an understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. Students are encouraged to select study abroad, internships, independent study, and field studies as electives. The department urges students to use Augsburg’s metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships and service learning enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in research, law, management, and human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice field, and as professors of sociology. Others have used the major as preparation for advanced study in areas such as the ministry, social work, urban planning, and human services. Sociology Faculty Tim Pippert (Chair), Lars Christiansen, Nancy Fischer, Garry Hesser, Diane Pike, James Vela-McConnell Degree and Major Requirements Major Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an excellent undergraduate major that applies to a number of fields from human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The foundation of the major at Augsburg is that it provides a clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the major, and integrates and reinforces a challenging set of important skills; those skills include abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, basic research, integration of theory and data, and the connection of the individual and collective perspectives in the unique way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students. The remaining electives allow students to choose courses that add other skills related to areas of career interest. The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper division courses from the specified list below: Core major: SOC 121 SOC 362 228 Introduction to Human Society Statistical Analysis I Augsburg College 2010-2012 SOC 363 SOC 485 SOC 490 Research Methods Sociological Theory Senior Seminar At least three of the following upper-division courses (Prereq.: SOC 121): SOC 320 SOC 349 SOC 375 SOC 377 SOC 381 SOC 387 SOC 390 SOC 399 Sociology of Law Sociology of Organizations Social Psychology Organizational Crime and Deviance City and Metro-Urban Planning Juvenile Delinquency Social Problems Analysis Internship Two additional sociology electives Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or better in each required course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in the major. The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements. Interest Tracks In order to focus preparation for careers and further study, the Department offers Interest Tracks within the major. These interest tracks are: City and Community; Crime and Deviance; Law; Organizations; and Social Psychology. The Interest Tracks guide majors in selecting elective courses in a way that tailors their sociological training, experiences and skills. Working with an advisor and following the guidelines and recommendations provided at the links below, sociology majors can design a pathway through the major that directs them toward careers or graduate work in criminal justice, law, organizational development, public relations, social services, and urban studies. Students who are interested in pursuing an Interest Track should discuss this with their adviser or the Sociology Department Chair. A full description of each Interest Track may be found at the Sociology Department website http:// www.augsburg.edu/home/sociology/Sociology/Overview.html. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog.

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

We also believe that a liberal arts education is your best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Selection from over 50 majors Augsburg offers more than 50 major* or you can create your own major either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 58 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Through the Weekend College Program, 17 majors are offered. Emphasis on values, perspectives, experience, and skills The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg curriculum-the College's general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses requiring students to consider important issues and examine values questions. These Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith, The City Aesthetics, and the Natural World. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the mission of the College: "To nurture future leaders in service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community" A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. - About Augsburg 11 Early Leaders Establish a Direction The Focus Changed August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr. became president. He worked to develop college depaments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She spent the next 42 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over 130 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876- 1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bemhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the serninary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modem college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effort to become accredited. The College reached accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. 12 About Augsburg A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, the Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. The city-with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Dr. William V Frame became president in August 1997. Under his leadership, the college has sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education, grounded in vocational calling, that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. In 1999, a new apament-style student residence opened. Major renovation of Sverdrup Hall created space for the Enrollment Center, h e Women's Resource Center, and the Honors Program Suite. A skyway link connects Sverdrup Hall to Lindell Library. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metropolitan center. There are now almost 18,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work. In addition to undergraduate liberal arts and sciences Augsburg offers master's degree programs in social work, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies, and education. Augsburg also offers graduate and undergraduate level nursing courses as well as supporting degree courses through its Rochester Program based in Rochester, Minnesota. WEEKEND COLLEGE Augsburg's Weekend College program provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. - About Augsburg 13 Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today with more than 1,000 students enrolled each term and 17 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of this type among Minnesota private colleges. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminar, and student organizations. Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the needs of the adult and nontraditional student. The Adult as Learner Augsburg Weekend College is based on the assumption that students who enroll in the program will be mature, self-disciplined and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course is divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To accommodate this learning format, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Laboratoly sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. Weekend College students may take from one to four courses each term. Selected courses are also available on weekday evenings and are open to both day and Weekend College students. The academic year for Weekend College is divided into three trimesters. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of College facilities such as Lindell Library and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Weekend College Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. They are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. ROCHESTER PROGRAM Augsburg has established a branch campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Classes in Rochester meet on an evening or weekend schedule, making them accessible to working adults. There are three trimesters in each academic year, following the same schedule as the Weekend College program. 14 About Augsburg Several complete degree programs are available through the Rochester campus. In addition, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the day or Weekend College program on the Minneapolis campus. Students who enroll in Rochester courses are required to have an individual e-mail address and have access to the Intemet to facilitate the use of technology in the learning and communication process.

Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2001-2002 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Augsburg Financial Aid Application help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations. - Financial laormation 31 HOW TO APPLY The following are required to process your financial aid application: 1.

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

Augsburg College created a program entitled Exploring Our Gifts through the generous support of the Lilly Endowment. Established in Spring 2002, the Exploring Our Gifts program is designed to help students in their college journey to make connections between faith, vocation, and work. The program will assist students in this journey by intentionally introducing vocational themes into the cumculum, cocumcular activities, service-learning experiences, and mentoring relationships at the college. Exploring Our Gifts also provides resources to encourage students to explore Christian ministry. Contact the director of Exploring Our Gifts for further information about the program. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The Christensen Center is the focus of leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's Attic (student lounge) is a popular hangout located in the lower level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests meet here. Student offices in this area include the College newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student Government; and the Augsburg Student Activities Council. Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, films, theme events, name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields.

Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena. During 1999-2000, Augsburg men's and women's athletics marked the 75th anniversary of intercollegiate competition.

WEC students may NOT crossover to attend ACTC courses. Academic Information 7 Former Augsburg students, re-admitted to complete a degree after being away from the College for at least one calendar year, have a choice between using the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, if possible, or using the catalog in effect at the point of re-admission. Some departments will not accept coursework taken more than seven to ten years ago. Students must meet all of Re-Admitted Students Students are responsible for keeping the registrar's office informed of their current mailing address. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from the College must be completed in the Registrar's Office. A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the Enrollment Center. Withdrawal from College cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved by the Committee on Student Standing. Withdrawal from College and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar's office. Withdrawal from College Once the open registration period closes, returning students registering for the first time for the coming term will be assessed a late registration fee. The Enrollment Center will process all registration forms after the web closes. Advisor). The Enrollment Center is also available to process registration forms. Note: Web registration may not recognize prerequisites fulfilled in transfer work. In these cases, please process your registration at the Enrollment Center. 72 Academic Information All degree and course requirements must be completed and v e d e d in the registrar's office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record). Each student must apply for graduation at the end of their junior year. Students should apply before the start of their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center. Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree should contact the registrar's office about specific requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major. See page 23 in Undergraduate Admissions-Special Students (Second Degree). Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the registrar staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. The responsibility for seeing that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. All students are required to file a graduation application with the Registrar's Office one year prior to graduation. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS the requirements in effect under the catalog they choose. Choosing to complete graduation requirements under the current catalog will require re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine its applicability to the current catalog requirements. 3. Augsburg Seminar (AUC 101)All students who enter the College as freshmen in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and the Augsburg Seminar. See the program section on the Augsburg Seminar for a full description. 2. Completion of a MajorRequirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 32 total course credits required: two courses by independent/ directed study; four courses of internship; and six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than two course credits with P grades toward a major and no more than one course credit with a P grade toward a minor. The Departments of Education and Social Work are examples of departments that allow students to apply more than two course credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching or field work practicums). 1. Completion of 32 course c r e d i S N o more than 13 course credits may be in one department, except in certain approved majors: accounting (B.A.) 14; music education (B.M.) - 17; music performance (B.M.) - 20; music therapy (B.S.) - 17; and social work (B.S.) - 15. Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Seminar (AUG 101), at least one Augsburg Experience, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total course work, residence, and general education courses, including lifetime sports. Requirements For Undergraduate Graduation: - 5. Grade Point Average-2.0 for most majors. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required for all courses taken and specifically for all courses that apply toward a major or special program. Some majors, licensure, and certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance, music therapy, nursing, and social work.) See the departmental section for details. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1) Integrates experiential learning with academic learning and (2) Links on-campus learning to the goals, mission, needs or ideas of off-campus people, organizations and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities, and/or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule or may be completed for zero credit outside of the regular class schedule. The length of time required, credit/no-credit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences will vary 4. Augsburg Experiences-All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg Experiences highlight the College's commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally Four categories of approved experiential learning opportunities are recognized as Augsburg Experiences: internships, faculty-student research, community service, and study abroad. Academic Information 73 - Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement assessment. Students may retake the Math Placement Assessment once during their first term of enrollment. Students are required to take the assessments before registering for the first term and should achieve MPG 3 by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Take entry level skills assessments and satisfy requirements. Freshmen (all students entering Augsburg with fewer than seven college credit courses) and sophomore transfer students with fewer than 13 courses: Placement in writing, math, modem languages, and critical thinking courses is determined by the assessments. These tests are a prerequisite for (not completion of) graduation skills course requirements. The entry level skills tests are inventory assessments in: Writing Mathematics Critical thinlung Modem Languages Entry Level Skills Requirements SKILLS COMPONENT 6. Residence-The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of the last 9 creditslrequirements) must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved ACTC exchange program. No less than a total of 9 credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the registrar's office if an official interpretation is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required to be taken in residence within the major and minor. Consult the catalog description of the major/minor or the chairperson of the department. 74 Academic Information Advanced transfer students are required to satisfy all the Graduation Skill course requirements, except one writing skill course. Those who have not passed the equivalent of ENG 1 11 Effective Writing course must take the entry level test in writing. Augsburg's entry level test in writing will determine placement in an appropriate writing course. Transfer students who enter with 13 credits or more, or an A.A. degree accepted in transfer, are exempt from critical thinking assessments. Advanced Transfer Students Freshman and sophomore transfer students will be required to satisfy all of the Graduation Skill course requirements. The BYU-CAPE assessment is offered to students who have had at least a year of Spanish, French, or German language studies in high school. The CAPE is a web based language assessment designed to assess and place students at the appropriate course level for language study Students interested in waiving the modem language requirement must complete this assessment and place at the 311 level or above. Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are exempt from the critical thinking inventory. Effective Writing or its equivalent is required. Students who do not satisfy the entry level skill in writing will be required to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing before ENG 11 1 Effective Writing. Freshmen should complete the writing requirement before the beginning of their sophomore year. Attendance the first day of class is required for both ENG 101 and 111. General education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Skills related to writing, critical thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning are deliberate components of certain courses. Course work in a modem language other than your native language is also required. Completion of the requisite courses with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required for graduation. Students Graduation Level Skills Students are also permitted to retake the Math Placement Exam during their first term of enrollment at Augsburg College. Students in MPG 1may take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 may take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 may take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student's MPG. A grade of Pass, 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. All students are required to have their MPG determined. In some cases, students who have transferred in a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the Registrar's Office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during college registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Mathematics Requirement - All Writing Skill courses have the prerequisite of ENG 111, all Quantitative Reasoning Skill courses have the prerequi- Students whose native language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the ESL placement test must fulfill the English as a Second Language (ESL) requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ESL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ESL placement exam. Students who complete the ESL requirement fulfill the modem language graduation skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. There is a seven-year time limit on language courses presented for transfer and automatic waiver. Hearing students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the skill. Requirements for the Modem Language Skill are determined by placement test. For a language previously studied, successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of one language course at your placement level (112 or higher) satisfies the requirement. For a language not previously studied, successful completion of 111, 112 is required (i.e. sequential courses in the same language). Students whose placement test is at 311 or higher will be exempted from further language study. are required to have two courses with Writing Skill components (at least one within the major) and one course each with Critical Thinking, Speaking, and Quantitative Reasoning Skill components. These courses can simultaneously satisfy skill requirements and graduation requirements for the major andlor general education perspectives. Academic lnformation 75 Extend knowledge in liberal arts, especially outside of one's major disciplinary field. This is done by 1) reflecting on the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives and the distinctiveness of Augsburg as a college of the Lutheran Church in the city; 2) reflecting on diversity through intercultural awareness; 3) reflecting on areas associated with liberal arts, including aesthetics, human identity, The goal of the Liberal Arts Perspectives is to help students think systematically about what it means to be a human. Perspectives courses should: The General Education program consists of the first-year Augsburg Seminar for day freshmen, the Augsburg Experiences, the liberal arts perspectives, and the graduation skills. A primary objective is to develop lifelong learning in the context of the liberal arts and the mission of the College. GENERAL EDUCATION Lifetime sports are non-credit courses and are not included in the 32-course requirement. Two different lifetime sports are required. Students who are not health and physical education majors or in intercollegiate athletics may test out of one lifetime sport. Students may demonstrate proficiency in one of a selected list of lifetime sports. There is a fee to take the lifetime sport proficiency test. Students must satisfy the second lifetime sport requirement by enrolling in a lifetime sport course. Lifetime Sports site of Math Placement Group 3, and all Critical Thinking Skill courses have the prerequisite of passing the entry level Critical Thinking Assessment or GST 100. 76 Academic Information - Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective, The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith. 4. No student may count more than one course from the same department in meeting the requirements of any single perspective emphasis area except: 3. No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from the same department in meeting perspective requirements. 2. No single course can fulfill the requirements in two or more categories. 1. A student will choose a minimum of one course from each required perspective category. Students will choose from a list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available on-line and from the registrar's office. These choices are controlled by the following policies: The general education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for beginning to understand what it means to be human. The goals of the perspectives are achieved through a variety of courses that have been approved as meeting the criteria established for each perspective. LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES The General Education program should also teach students the skills expected of a college graduate in writing, critical thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning. Develop an appreciation of the role of service to society. Demonstrate connections between liberal arts and the major field of study. the social world, natural world, and westem heritage. Transfer students entering with 24 or more course credits will be required to take one course from area 1 or 2 in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Transfer students entering with 13-23 course credits will be required to take two courses from two different areas in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Area 1 is biblical studies, Area 2 covers Christian theology, and Area 3 includes the study of values or religions outside the Christian faith. Three course credits are required to meet this perspective except for the following: Christian Faith (CF 1, 2, and 3 ) This perspective focuses on Augsburg as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As a college of the Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its educational program the doctrines of the Christian faith as revealed in scripture and the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian faith as part of becoming educated. Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith THE EIGHT LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVE REQUIREMENTS Up to two courses in a year-long sequence of approved natural science courses may be used to meet the perspective, The Natural World. - - Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 13 or more course credits. Western Heritage (WH 1 and 2) This perspective is intended to help students critically examine tliemes (found, for example, in literature,' philosophy, and the arts) and events that have historically shaped Western civilization. Attention should be paid to the contributions of and to critiques of Western thought by women and ethnic minorities. Perspective: Western Heritage One course credit or experience is required to meet this perspective. The City (C) This requirement must be covered either by specific courses, by internship and education experiences, or by designated or college-approved non-credit experiences (such as volunteer service or college programs). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by a GST 209 seminar related to the perspective. This perspective focuses on the College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this perspective, students should gain an understanding of and critically reflect upon the city with its diverse populations, cultural, governmental and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students should experience the community and should explore opportunities for service in the community Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The City Academic Information 77 This perspective is intended to help students understand themselves in relation to the physical world. Their active role as observers, explorers, and moral agents will be emphasized. Sufficient technical training in scientific knowledge, concepts, and methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues. One course credit is required to meet this perspective. One course must focus on current theories and methods of a social science. Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 13 or more course credits. Social World (SW 1 and 2) This perspective is intended to help students learn to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems: to understand how and why such systems develop, to see the connections among these systems, and to use this knowledge as a participant in society Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective unless an approved one-year sequence is taken. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 13 or more course credits. Natural World (NW 1 and 2) Perspective: The Natural World Aesthetics (A) Perspective: The Social World The study of a specific, non-Western culture and how that culture has shaped the world. One course credit is required to meet this perspective. Aesthetic creations convey fundamental insights and values, express beauty, and enhance life. This perspective focuses on aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by oneself and others. Perspective: Aesthetics One course credit is required to meet this perspective. Intercultural Awareness (IA) This perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by expanding students' awareness of other cultures. One course is required in which students study a specific, non-Western culture and how that culture has shaped the world. In this course students critically reflect upon ways their own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. This perspective is intended to help students view themselves as people with unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiences, and behaviors. Human ldentity (HI) Perspective: Intercultural Awareness Perspective: Human Identity 78 Academic Information - In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime sports are graded only P/N). See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 73. P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this kequirement. Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Performance below basic course standards Meets basic standards for the course Achieves above basic course standards Achieves highest standards of excellence 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 Registrar's Office 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 comple- Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. 0.0 1.0 Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). 2.0 3.0 4.0 Numeric grades are used with these definitions: Numeric Grades In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: Pass/No Credit Most courses are offered with grading options-traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. EXPLANATION OF GRADES option.

Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record. Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. tion. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student's program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. 12 Academic Information Seniors-24 course credits completed. Juniors-16 course credits completed. Sophomores-7 course credits completed. Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification *Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted.* The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: Grade Point Average Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students may audit a course without charge. The charge for part-time and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 27. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Auditing Courses Advanced Placement Program Test (AP)-The Advanced Placement Program Test may allow students who have scores of 3 , 4 , or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Test to receive college credit for selected courses. A score of 4 or 5 is required on the AP Language and International Baccalaureate Program (IB)-Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines are available at the Registrar's Office. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts cumculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM - The Portfolio Assessment Program-This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Registrar's Office. In completing The Registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. Departmental Comprehensive Exams-These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing centers for this area are the University of Minnesota and the University of St. Thomas.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the registrar's office and Academic Advising. Composition examination for credit for ENG 111 Effective Writing. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department. Inquiries should be addressed to the Registrar's Office. Academic Information 8 - Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, upper division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four courses/credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed andlor systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: 4 Academic Information All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENG 217/218 until such time that they pass the ESL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ESL course can be counted only twice Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ESL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement. Students whose native language is not English must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test prior to registering for their first term at Augsburg. Students' placement in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental Writing, or ENG 111 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85-100 range for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample. English as a Second Language (ESL) Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning-While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the four assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches 2.0. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if Students whose overall academic achievement falls below a 2.0 GPA will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term or will be continued on probation or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, &missal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's cornrnitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation, with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. The College requires that all students maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA).

A new form for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered fall andlor spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The Schedule of Classes published each spring by the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) lists offerings and locations for fall and spring terms. This information is also available on-line. A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. Credits Descriptions and schedules for Summer Session, the Master of Arts in Leadership, the Master of Social Work, the Master of Arts in Nursing, the Master of Arts in Education, and the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies courses are published in separate catalogs. A course schedule for all ACTC schools is available on-line through the web addresses published in the ACTC newspaper. They will contain the most accurate and up to date information. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Class Schedule Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College's program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Weekend College classes are published each spring in a separate booklet and online. 90 DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS - lnternship A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement.

Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. 299 DIRECTED AND INDEPENDENT STUDIES -Departments and Programs Kristin Anderson (Chair), Lynn Bollman, Tara Christopherson, John McCaffrey Art Faculty A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art as a human activity involves manual skill, although to become broadly significant it should interact with other fields, such as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science. Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist, art teacher, graphic designer, architect, and art historian is to celebrate visual experience through a variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how to see. \ rt is important as a field of study for our time, helping us to create order and beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this, we have made design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the art program at Augsburg. A Art History Major Eight art or architectural history courses including: ART 240 Art History Survey ART 388 19th- and 20th-Century Art Two studio courses: ART 102 Design or ART 107 Drawing ART 118 Painting I or ART 221 Sculpture I The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements.

Permission to complete the seminar after withdrawal from the content course is at the discretion of the instructor. Augsburg Seminar (.25 course) A series of fall-tern meetings with an Augsburg seminar adviser to discuss issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community of learners. Discussion will be based upon topics and readings from the connected content course and other disciplines and sources. (P/N grading only) At registration, all first-year students in the day program enroll in a selected content course, such as Effective Writing and a parallel Augsburg Seminar. These 'linked' courses integrate disciplinary content with various learning strategies and communitybuilding opportunities beneficial to all beginning students. Augsburg Seminar he initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting period of change. The faculty and staff wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students and to help them become part of this academic community. Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, students are introduced to the character of the College, its heritage as an urban, liberal arts college of the Church, the process of learning in a community where ideas are valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being students. The content course usually meets three hours per week for the entire semester and is valued at 1.0 course credit, and the Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for 8 weeks for .25 course credit. The Augsburg Seminar offers the opportunity for further discussion of topics from the paired content course, along with presentations on campus life, academic resources and study skills, and a hands-on introduction to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. While the content course is graded on a traditional point basis, the Augsburg Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (P/N). However, performance in the course is linked to performance in the seminar. B Dale Pederson (Chair), Karen Ballen, William Capman, Robert Herforth, Esther ~c~au~hlin Biology Faculty For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves as a basis for further study Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies in the life sciences, leading to careers in college or university teaching, basic and applied research, and public health. Many have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical industries, laboratory research, natural resources, and environmental education. An understanding of biological systems depends, in part, on the principles of physics and chemistry; thus a firm background in the physical sciences is also important in the study of biology. In recent decades great strides have been made in understandmg important biological processes, particularly those at the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans, including advances in medicine, agriculture, and food science. iology is the study of life, and it is natural that we, as contemplative living creatures, seek a deeper understanding of the living world that envelops us. This search has led to the realization that the Earth is filled with an enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part of the biological world, an understanhng of the basic biological processes common to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for wise decisions. or CHM 351/352 Organic Chemistry A semester course in organic chemistry or CHM 115/116 General Chemistry CHM 1051106 Principles of Chemistry Required Supporting Courses BIO 491 Seminar (non-credit) is required of all juniors and seniors.

Health care professions (physician assistant, physical therapist, veterinarian, etc.) have specific requirements that should be discussed with an adviser in the department. Graduate and Professional Training Students should consult members of the biology faculty for information specific to medical school application. Pre-medical students should include a two-semester sequence in physics and a two-semester sequence in organic chemistry. Many medical schools also require two semesters of calculus. Biology for Pre-Medical Students In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with members of the biology faculty. Biology majors must have an adviser in the biology department. BIO 113 and 114 and Principles of Chemistry (or General Chemistry) should be taken in the first year, and BIO 215 and Organic Chemistry in the second year. Students should complete their math requirements early in their college careers. A GPA of 2.0 for BIO 113, 114, and 215 is a prerequisite for enrollment in upper division biology courses.

Consonant with these ideas, the Department of Chemistry has established the following objectives to help its students develop into mature scientists: The department is on the list of approved schools of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a chemistry major that meets the chemistry background required by many fields. Chemists as people must be broadly educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as offered in the general education curriculum is imperative if a chemist is to be both truly human and truly scientific. Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of providing a public understanding of their work, including potential problems as well as benefits. hemistry is the science that examines and works toward understanding changes in matter. Chemistry has been described as the central science because matter includes the entire physical world, such as the things we use, the food we eat, and even ourselves. Correlating the insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology opens vistas that excite and offer opportunities to better the entire world. and two additional courses from: CHM 364 Physical Chemistry I1 CHM 367 Properties of Polymers Graduation Major in Chemistry CHM 115, 116 General Chemistry I, I1 or CHM 105, 106 Principles of Chemishy I, I1 CHM 351,352 Organic Chemistry I, I1 CHM 353 Quantitative Analytical Chemistry CHM 361 Physical Chemistry I CHM 363 Physical Chemistry Laboratory I CHM 491 Chemistry Seminar (4 semesters) BACHELOR OF ARTS Sandra L. Olmsted (Chair), Ron L. Fedie, Arlin E. Gyberg, Joan C. Kunz Chemistry Faculty *To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example of the methodology of the natural sciences in examining the world around us. The presentation of major concepts underlying the changes in matter, the opportunity to examine change in the physical world, and the reflection of the implications and limitations of science in our society will enhance the ability of non-science persons to make better value judgments concerning science questions in their own endeavors. *To encourage students to take a broad view of their education and to integrate outside study areas with the sciences. *To provide an atmosphere of leamhg so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining competent in their field, however that may change after graduation, and be able to move into new areas as opportunities arise. 12 courses including: CHM 115, 116 General Chemistry I, I1 or CHM 105,106 Principles of Chemistry I, I1 CHM 351,352 Organic Chemistry I, I1 American Chemical Society Approved Major BACHELOR OF SCIENCE Pre-medical students should plan to take at least three courses (and usually more) in biology. Students should consult members of the chemistry department for assistance in planning a course program early in their college career. Chemistry for Pre-Medical Students The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of b s catalog.

The major provides a foundation for graduate work in various fields such as anthropology, economics, history, international relations, business, law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for those interested in education and work with social and recreational agencies. major in East Asian studies is offered through Augsburg and the other Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, The College of St. Catherine, and the University of St. Thomas. The program pools the resources and expertise within the five institutions. This major enables students to acquire a broad knowledge of Japan, China, and other East Asian nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country. A Hamline University offers elementary and intermediate courses in Chinese. Macalester College and the University of St. Thomas offer elementary and intermediate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese languages (without extra tuition charges); see campus adviser. Non-majors may also take the Chinese and Japanese language courses. Language Courses Study abroad opportunities for the semester or a year are available in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and the People's Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the country of specialization. Nine courses are required for the major. Courses in the major must be preapproved by the campus adviser and are distributed as follows: four courses in an East Asian language; four additional courses, two of which must be upper division (strongly recommended that one of these be a history course on China or Japan); and an East Asian studies seminar. A term of study abroad and the completion of a minor in another discipline are strongly recommended. Major in East Asian Studies Each campus has a member on the ACTC East Asian studies committee who can assist students. The current advisers are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson, 612-330-1715; Hamline-Richard Kagan, 651-641-2433; Macalester-Yue-him Tam, 651-696-6262; St. Catherine-Helen Humeston, 651-690-6651; St. ThomasYoung-Ok An, 651-962-5621. Note: Interim courses or new courses related to the East Asian Studies Program may be substituted when appropriate, with the consent of the campus adviser. Faculty advising is recommended at all stages of the major to plan a coherent and effective program. Five courses, no more than two of which may be in the language. Courses in the minor must be pre-approved by the campus adviser. A minor in East Asian studies provides exposure to an area of East Asia that would complement other disciplines. Minor in East Asian Studies - Responding to the Challenge of Japan Topics: Introduction to AsianAmerican Literature The Modem Non-Western World Asian Philosophy Understanding Asian America Russian and Chinese Foreign Policy History of Religions Introduction to Asian and Asian American Theatre Students may also take independent studies (299,499) or topics courses relating to East Asian studies in various departments, subject to consent of instructor and approval of program director.

An economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as a major or a minor. The department offers five majors. The economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into the rapidly growing computer science field. The combined economics/business administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in political sciencdeconomics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. he Department of Economics offers a program that stresses a strong theoretical background, quantitative analysis, and an emphasis on national and international issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. and three other upper division courses also required: MIS 175 F'rinaples of Computing for Business MIS 379 Quantitative Methods for Business and Economics MAT 114 Elementary Functions Finite Mathematics or MAT 121 Calculus for the Social or MAT 122 and Behavioral Sciences Major in Economics ECO 112 Principles of Macroeconomics ECO 113 Principles of Microeconomics ECO 312 Intermediate Macroeconomics ECO 313 Intermediate Microeconomics ECO 414 Welfare Economics Jeanne Boeh (Chair), Keith Gilsdorf, Stella Hofrenning Economics Faculty Internships are recommended.

The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the Institute of Technology. The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs: University of Minnesota ugsburg College has cooperative arrangements with two universities to allow students to earn a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis; or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser. A Practicum and Seminar in Special Education A supervised field placement in a facility for an exceptional population plus on-campus seminar. Students planning to take this course should consult with the special education director about a placement prior to registering for the course. (Prereq.: completion of all other courses in special education minor or consent of instructor. Open to all.) EDU 491 The curriculum is the same as the B.A.B.E. curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate cumculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and a master of engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of Technology. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the Institute of Technology may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. The Special Needs Learner (see EDC course descriptions) EDC 410 4 4 Special Education - Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Michigan Technological University Further information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg engineering adviser. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the engineering adviser of Augsburg College. This program enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering degree from Michigan Technological University in a five-year period. Michigan Technological University Application for admission into the B.A.N.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.Ah4.E. program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology. Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 24 courses at Augsburg.

Engineering 14: Students with an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library sci- The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English as a Second Language (ESL) students, or tutoring in the writing lab. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. hose who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as others do, and better understand the world in which we live and work.

The construction of an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be active and contributing members of their society. The study of history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate study in several fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing of information. istory is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed it this way: "No community can survive and no institution can function without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common experiences that makes scattered individuals into a community" Satisfactory completion of a lower division course (100- or 200-level) is normally required before enrolling in an upper division course (300- and 400-level).

Augsburg's urban Students majoring in mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem-solving skills, mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason abstractly; to conjecture, critique, and justify their assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and comprehend precise mathematical writing; to speak and write about mathematical ideas; and to experience working in teams on mathematical projects. Students can prepare for graduate school, for work in business, industry, or non-profit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in grades K-12. Students majoring in many disciplines find it helpful to acquire a minor or a second major in mathematics. athematics is the study of smcture and relationships and provides tools for solving a wide variety of problems. Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education. Students may petition the department to substitute alternative mathematics or mathematics-intensive courses for one or two MAT courses numbered above 200. Such substitutions must be justified by a compelling academic rationale defending a coherent program of study, typically relating mathematics to another discipline. A minimum of three upper division MAT courses are required. Note that MAT 331 does not apply toward the major but is a recommended general education course for majors.

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

Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for public health nurse registration in Minnesota. With two additional courses, they are eligible to apply for school nurse certification. The bachelor's degree equips nurses with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral, and nursing sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg also provides educational opportunities to increase their skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation, and decision-making that prepares them to handle challenging new positions in today's health care field. The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools, and community organizations, or in their own practices. Wherever they practice, nurses provide comprehensive health care through the entire life span for people of diverse cultures and socioeconomic levels. he Augsburg Department of Nursing is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to increase their opportunities in the health care field. T Courses in the nursing major are offered on weekends with practicum courses requiring additional weekday time. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of credits transferred from other colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take non-nursing courses in both day school and Weekend College. Students interested in pursuing the nursing major should consult with the program coordinator from the Department of Nursing for program planning. The program has been planned so that the major can be completed within two academic years; however, students may pursue their studies at a slower pace. A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and cumulative GPA of 2.5 at the completion of Level I and Level I1 courses of study are required. Students also must complete Augsburg's residence and general education requirements. Major Nine courses including: NUR 305 Contemporary Nursing I: Communication NUR 306 Contemporary Nursing 11: Paradigms in Nursing NUR 330 Trends and Issues in Nursing NUR 350 Introduction to Nursing Research NUR 403 Contemporary Nursing 111: Families NUR 405 Leadership and Management: Theory and Practice NUR 410 Community Health Nursing I NUR 411 Community Health Nursing 11: Practicum PHI 380 Ethics of Medicine and Health Care - NUR 305 Nursing majors can complete the baccalaureate at the Minneapolis and Rochester sites. Students can complete their liberal arts general education requirements by taking courses in day school and Weekend College. It is recommended that most liberal arts courses be taken before starting the nursing major. Nursing courses at Augsburg are available only through Weekend College. Classes usually meet on alternate weekends for one 3 1/2 hour time block. Clinical practice usually occurs on weekdays. Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing this degree. Options for Completing the Degree 6.

NUR 306 Nursing 21 P Philosophy Major Eight courses including: PHI 241 History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy PHI 242 History of Philosophy 11: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 285 Intro. to Formal Logic and Computation Theory PHI 343 History of Philosophy 111: Early Modem and 19-Century Philosophy PHI 344 Twentieth-Century Philosophy Philosophy Faculty David Apolloni (Chair), Markus Fuehrer, Bruce Reichenbach The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, the Christian ministry, or journalism. Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by philosophers from the past and present. hilosophy is in an important sense the most fundamental of the disciplines. All of the sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, it is concerned with asking and answering the "big" questions that are the most basic. For example, Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the best? What is knowledge and what are its sources? Philosophy Minor Five courses, including two from PHI 241,242,343, and 344. Admission to the philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student's choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department. Departmental Honors In addition to a major and minor in philosophy, the philosophy department also offers a cross-disciplinary major in conjunction with the computer science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See course listing on page 118. Major in Computational Philosophy A 400-level course (other than PHI 499) Two elective courses in philosophy Four courses must be upper division. PHI 242 PHI 241 PHI 175 PHI 125 PHI 120 PHI 110 Introduction to Philosophy studen& will read writings by various medieval and Renaissance philosophers in order to understand the process of philosophical assimilation involved in constructing a Christian philosophy Topics include: the nature of being, human understanding in relation to faith, and the place of the image of God in the human condition. (Suggested prior course: PHI 241. Spring) History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy Central philosophical questions that concerned the Greek philosophers and still concern us today: the nature of reality and its relationship to language and reason, the immortality of the soul, the nature of truth and human knowledge, and the nature of the good life, from Thales to Plotinus. History of Philosophy I: Ancient Creek Philosophy Issues such as the ethics of sex in relation to marriage, pornography, and homosexuality are considered. Then consideration is given to the nature and history of romantic love and its relationship to sex. Philosophy of Love and Sex action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. Beginning by asking what the end or purpose of human life is, students decide on the moral and intellectual virtues required to reach the end. Topics of friendship and human love are followed by an analysis of human happiness. Students who receive credit for PHI 125 may not receive credit for PHI 120. A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, emotions, and Ethics and Human Identity By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical approaches to evaluating moral actions and then applies them to contemporary issues. Christian ethics will inform the considerations. Students who receive credit for PHI 120 may not receive credit for PHI 125. Ethics This course introduces students to typical philosophical questions (like how we know, if we can have certain knowledge, if there are universal moral principles whether God exists, the nature of the mind, etc.), to philosophical vocabulary, and to critical thinking and what it means to view the world philosophically Philosophy 21 Philosophy and the Arts Class discussion of philosophical issues raised and illustrated by painting, sculpture, literature, music, architecture, and film: the truth and falsehood of aesthetic judgment, the definition of "work of art"; the nature of aesthetic experience, the evaluation of art, creativity, the relation between the artist's intention, the work of art, and its relation to the rest of the artistic tradition. PHI 365 PHI 355 PHI 350 PHI 344 PHI 343 PHI 300 The course explores what scientific knowledge is, whether the scientist's knowledge of the world is profoundly different and better than that of the non-scientist, and what degrees of certainty are yielded by scientific methods. (Suggested prior course: PHI 399 or one course in natural science) Philosophy of Science A study of the basic concepts and philosophies that underlie Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. We focus on analyzing diverse views of reality, the self, and recommendations on how to live. Asian Philosophy We systematically investigate a series of philosophical questions about religion. What is the relation between faith and reason? Does God exist, and if so, what can be said about God? Can God's goodness be reconciled with human suffering? Are miracles and life after death possible? Philosophy of Religion A survey of major philosophical schools in the twentieth century: analytic philosophy, phenomenology, existentialism, pragmatism, and post-modem philosophy. History of Philosophy IV: Twentieth-Century Philosophy The major rationalists of the 17' century (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz), the major empiricists of the 18' century (Locke, Berkeley, Hume), Kant's synthesis of rationalism and empiricism, and 19' century Idealism and the reaction to it (Marx, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche).

A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, computer science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for further study and enable students to follow new developments with some degree of comprehension. p hysicists . . are a curious and ambitious lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called "natural philosophers," physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society's understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration.

The department urges students to use Augsburg's metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships, service learning, and cooperative education enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in the human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice field, and as professors of sociology. Others have used their majors as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, the ministry, social work, urban planning, and human services. The goal of the department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of the social order, how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their vocation. Sociology majors develop an understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. ociology is the study of society as a whole and of human social organization in groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how human beings come to think and act as they do. Students interested in community crime prevention as well as the traditional aspects of criminal justice-courts, prisons, probation, and law-will be served by this concentration in the major. Additional courses required for the concentration are: SOC 211, SOC 231, SOC 265, SOC 277 and an upper division Internship approved by the department. See Diane Pike for advising and visit the department Web site for details. Concentration in Crime and Community This concentration is designed to give sociology majors a concentration in urban community studies, which includes an applied sociology focus emphasizing city and community planning with a required internship. In addition to the seven core courses, students are required to take four additional courses: SOC 211, SOC 381, SOC 399 and one additional elective. See Gany Hesser for advising and visit the department Web site for details. Concentration in Community Studies Note: SOC 399 is highly recommended. Majors must have a 2.0 or better in each required course to receive credit in the major. Major Ten courses including: SOC 121 Introduction to Human Society SOC 349 Organizational Theory SOC 362 Statistical Analysis SOC 363 Research Methods SOC 375 Social Psychology SOC 485 Sociological Theory SOC 495 Senior Seminar and three additional sociology courses. - A course of study designed for students who plan to work in organizational settings including corporate, government, and non-profit sectors. Students will learn how organizations are structured, function, and change, how people relate in organizational settings, and how organizations succeed and why they sometimes fail. The concentration both theoretically and experientially equips students with skills to effectively lead and manage organizations, and to succeed within organizations while achieving their personal career and professional goals. Courses required beyond the core major requirements are: Work and Society (SOC 222), a practicum in Advanced Organizational Analysis and Development, and three courses in related fields-one from BUS 242 or ECO 113, one from PSY 373 or BUS 340, and one from SPC 345 or SPC 410. See Professor Lars Christiansen for advising and visit the department Web site for details. Concentration in Organizational Analysis and Development This concentration offers sociology majors an opportunity to examine and develop the methods and theoretical perspectives used by cultural anthropologists to study and understand the dynamics of culture. To complete the concentration, the sociology major must complete five additional courses beyond the seven core courses. Two of those courses must be SOC 241 and SOC 499. The remaining three courses must be selected one each from three course groupings: World Cultures, Anthropological Research, and Theoretical perspectives.

The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. Teaching Licensure Major The intent of the social psychology concentration is to provide sociology andlor psychology students with a solid disciplinary foundation along with specific coursework to strengthen a cross-disciplinary social psychological perspective. Coursework will emphasize research skills, theoretical analysis, and applied work in areas intended to prepare students for careers in law, consulting, research, and social policy, as well as many other areas. In addition to the seven required sociology major courses, students must take: PSY 105, PSY 325, SOC 399, and PSY 491.

Students should complete ENG 111 by the middle of their sophomore year since it is a prerequisite for Writing Graduation Skill courses. Effective Writing Core Skills Students who have transferred in an equivalent course to ENG 111 are excused from the entry level exam. The entry level assessment determines readiness for ENG 111 Effective Writing. Students who do not satisfy the entry level skill in writing will be required to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing before ENG 111. Writing Requirement The BW-CAPE language assessment is offered to students who have had at least a year of Spanish, French, or German language studies in high school. It is designed to assess and place students at the appropriate course level for language study Students may waive the modern language requirement by completing this assessment and placing at the 311 level or above. Modern Language Requirement Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3 , or 4 as a prerequisite. Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3 . Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student's MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Two Foundations of Fitness courses are required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness (or a transfer equivalent) is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different lifetime activities. Students who are not health and physical education majors or intercollegiate athletes may test out of one lifetime activity course. Students may demonstrate proficiency from a selected list of lifetime activities. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Foundations of Fitness Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the ESL placement test must fulfill the English as a Second Language (ESL) requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ESL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ESL placement exam. Students who complete the ESL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Graduation Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Skill. There is a seven-year time limit on language courses presented for transfer and automatic waiver. Requirements for the Modern Language Skill are determined by placement test. For a language previously studied, successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of one language course at your placement level (112 or higher) satisfies the requirement. For a language not previously studied, successful completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with the minimum grade of 2.0P in both courses is required. Students whose placement test is at 31 1 or higher will be exempted from further language study Modern Language All Writing Skill courses have the prerequisite of ENG 111 or its equivalent. All Quantitative Reasoning Skill courses have the prerequisite of Math Placement Group 3 , and all Critical Thinking Skill courses have the prerequisite of passing the entry level Critical Thinking Assessment or GST 100. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill this requirement. Academic advisers will provide a list of these courses. An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Students are required to have one course each with Critical Thinking, Quantitative Reasoning, and Speaking skill components, and two courses with a Writing Skill component. These requirements are modified for advanced transfer students (see page 10).

We also believe that a liberal arts education is your best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively Emphasis on values, perspectives, experience, and skills The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg curriculum-the College's general education program, which structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses requiring students to consider important issues and examine values questions. These Liberal Arts Perspectives include Western Heritage, Intercultural Awareness, Human Identity, the Social World, Christian Faith, The City, Aesthetics, and the Natural World. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you for a lifetime-writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Selection from over 50 majors Augsburg offers more than 50 majorsor you can create your own major either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 53 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, College of St. Catherine, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the mission of the College: To nurture future leaders in service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confessibn of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Gennany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. 10 About Augsburg Early Leaders Establish a Direction The Focus Changed August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup,Jr. became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, dean of women. She spent the next 42 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway-Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over 125 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 1890s, Apgsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The College's mission assumed a double character-ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modem college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With cumculum change came a long effort to become accredited. The College reached accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. About Augsburg A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower, Urness Tower, the Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg's commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a cumculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. The city-with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity-is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Dr. William V Frame became president in August 1997. He has initiated a strategic planning process intended to iden* the distinguishing marks of the Augsburg education-in both pedagogy and substance-and a restructuring effort intended to improve operating efficiencies and open access for the College to new sources of capital. An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metropolitan center. There are now almost 14,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work. In addition to a traditional undergraduate liberal arts and sciences "day" program, Augsburg offers a Weekend College program for nontraditional students and master's degree programs in social work and leadership. CAMPUS LOCATION Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities, surrounding Murphy Square, the first of 155 parks in Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes."

Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Through Student Government, students secure a closer relationship with and better understanding of the administration and faculty and provide input into the decisionmaking process at Augsburg. Student Government also sponsors and directs student activities, protects student rights, and provides the means for discussions and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg. Student Government is organized into the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. Elections are held in the spring for the next year. Freshmen elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many kinds of involvement are possible-program planning, writing, editing, or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact the president or vice president of the student body in their offices in the lower level of the Christensen Center. The Student Activities Program creates opportunities for students to enhance their leadership skills through active involvement in developing events, activities, and organizations that serve the student community. Hundreds of major programming efforts and targeted activities for specific student interests are generated through these efforts and make Augsburg a dynamic and enjoyable interactive environment. - Student Life 41 Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on campus as well as in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, films, theme events, name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields. The Christensen Center is the focus of leisure-time activity on campus. Cooper's Attic (the gameroom and student lounge) is a popular hangout located in the lower level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom and non-classroom related interests meet here. Student offices in this area include the College newspaper, the Echo; the yearbook, The Augsburgian; Student Government; and the Augsburg Student Activities Council. KCMR, a student-operated nonprofit radio station serving the needs of Augsburg and the surrounding Cedar-Riverside community, is located in Umess Tower. Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theatre Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals. INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball, track and field, and golf. When Augsburg announced in February 1995 that it was adding women's ice hockey as a varsity sport, it became the first college or university in Minnesota to do so. H INTRAMURALS Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed sport. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena. SPORTS AND RECREATION At Augsburg, sports are for the average student as well as the intercollegiate athlete. The campus offers on a spaceavailable basis a double-rink ice arena, gymnasium, tennis courts, a fitness center with workout machines and weight room, and an air supported dome over the athletic field for winter fitness use by walkers and runners. (See Fitness Center on page 45.) 42 Student Life - Augsburg's mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. As an indication of the emphasis placed on student learning, the student and academic affairs offices work to bring together the student learning found in the classroom with the activities of experiential education and work, residence life, and the learning resources of the library and information technology.

Minnesota Indian Teacher Training Partnership: MNITTP is a cooperative effort between Augsburg College and the Minneapolis Public School District, intended to increase the number of American Indian teachers in the Minneapolis public schools. Funded by the Minnesota State Legislature in 1990, this project is designed as a special grant and loan forgiveness program. Students who are awarded state teaching licensure may then apply for loan forgiveness for each year the student teaches; one fifth of the loan will be forgiven.

A copy of Augsburg's policy is published in this catalog on page 81 and in the Student Guide distributed annually to students. Augsburg College understands that no information other than "directory information" can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-"directory information." It 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.

To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required courses in Christian Faith are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from over 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. DECREES OFFERED Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of science degrees. Augsburg also offers the master of arts in leadership and the master of social work degrees. ACADEMIC CALENDAR The Augsburg day program follows the 4-1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks, separated by a four-week January Interim. Full-time students normally take four course credits each semester and one course during Interim. Day school freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. The calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students can take a course on another campus during the regular term. (See Registration on page 64 and Calendars on pages 4 and 5.) January Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ different styles of teaching and learning, and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. The Interim catalog, published in the fall of each year, is distributed to all students and is available by contacting the Interim Office. In addition to classes offered on campus, Augsburg offers a variety of travel opportunities within the United States and abroad. Augsburg offers two summer school sessions. A maximum of three course credits can be earned in the two annual summer sessions, one of four weeks and one of six weeks. The Summer Session Catalog, published in the winter of each year, is distributed to all students, and is available by contacting the Office of Summer School. Augsburg Weekend College and graduate programs follow a trimester calendar (see Augsburg Weekend College and Graduate Programs on page 62.) FACULTY The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activi- - Academic lnformation 51 ties, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Every freshman is assigned an Augsburg Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. LIBRARY AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES The James G. Lindell Family Library opened at the start of the 1997-98 academic year. The new, four-level, 77,000-squarefoot facility houses all library and information technology functions of the College. In addition to the 175,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library includes the Gage Family Art Gallery, special collections and archives, a curriculum library and instructional technology lab, library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. A bridge will link the new building to Sverdrup Hall (the former library), which will be renovated to house additional computer labs and multimedia classrooms as well as a lounge and vending area. Library Resources A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty alike with assistance to meet diverse information needs including instruction in the use of the library, reference service, and guidance in pursuing research. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. Electronic access to the world of scholarship is also available through the Internet, and a computerized on-line catalog and daily courier service provide access to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. Appropriately equipped laptop computers can be connected to any of several hundred data ports throughout the building to access these resources. lnformation Technology Resources Augsburg College has been a member of the National Science Foundation's Internet since 1990 and has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with the best access to information technology and training. In Newsweek magazine's Cyberscope section on Aug. 1, 1994, for example, Augsburg was cited as one of two first-rate sources for information about the Internet. Visit Augsburg's Web site <www.augsburg.edu> for more on IT at Augsburg. Computing Students have access to over 180 oncampus personal computer systems. There are desktop machines in three computer labs and four computer classrooms, as well as a suite of laptops that can be checked out at the IT Service Center. Other machines ar'i: available for student use within academic departments. A campuswide network offers a full range of network services including printing, e-mail, newsgroups, the World Wide Web, and access to resources available via Gopher, Telnet, and FTF! Appropriately equipped studentowned machines can also be connected to the network to provide access from dormitory rooms. (Also see Honors Computing and Communications Lab under Honors Program on page 56.) 52 Academic Information Media The Media Center provides a large collection of sound recordings, video tapes and films, as well as equipment for instructional use. Audio and video tape duplication within the limits set by copyright law is available. The center supplies TV sets, VCRs, video cameras, video editing, tape recorders, microphones, slide-, overhead-, filmstrip-, and movie projectors as well as screens and carts. Facilities for classes in broadcasting are located near the communications department in Foss Center. Telecommunications A campus-wide telecommunications system enables easy and convenient voice communication between students, faculty, and staff. Students can leave voice mail messages with any member of the faculty, administration or the staff; voice mail or call waiting are available to resident students at a modest cost. Long-distance service, billed to individual students, can be arranged for any on-campus residence phone. ACADEMIC ADVISING CENTER (AAC) The Academic Advising Center advises all incoming students with undeclared majors, provides information on matters of general education, administers and tracks all entry level skills assessments, interprets catalog and graduation skills requirements, and advises students who have been placed on academic probation and re-entering suspended students regarding GPA requirements. The AAC also provides materials for organizing and recording student academic progress. The center also coordinates summer advising for the orientation program and provides in-service training and development for faculty advisers. AUCSBURG SEMINAR (AUG) The Augsburg Seminar assists students in their first Augsburg registration, provides orientation events before classes begin, and includes a seminar series. The Augsburg Seminar reflects the College's commitment to a meaningful introduction to college for our s t u d e n t s an enriching beginning for a college career. To provide focus for this introduction, the Augsburg Seminar is centered on a series of themes. These themes are reflected in and expanded upon in readings, discussions, and other activities. Diversity, tradition, change, ways of knowing, and what it means to be an educated person are all themes associated with the program. (Also see page 92.)

Academic Information The State of Minnesota intends to have new teacher licensure rules in effect by August 1, 2000. Students who enter the programs in the fall of 1998 and beyond will be under the new rules. It is expected that license areas after that date will be similar to the list printed above. It is the student's responsibility to work closely with an education department adviser and to stay informed about changing requirements in their teaching field. Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, denti~try,~ministry, veterinary science, pharmacy, or erigineering can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg. It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty adviser is available in each field to assist students in their planning. Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should contact the Academic Advising Center early in their freshman year to arrange for help from the appropriate faculty adviser. Pre-Dentistry--These courses are recommended to fulfill the minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the University of Minnesota: ENG, two courses; BIO 113, 114,215; PHY 121, 122; CHM 115, 116 (or 105,106), 351,352; MAT 124; PSY 105. Requirements at other universities may vary. Pre-Engineering-See engineering degree and major requirements on pages 138-139. Pre-Law-Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of American Law Schools. Students may wish to take law-related courses to help determine their interest in law. Pre-law students should major in a discipline of their own choosing; most law school entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable LSAT score. Pre-Medicine-Many medical schools are encouraging a liberal arts education to prepare for study in medicine. While a major in chemistry and biology is not required to apply to medical schools, many students with an interest in the sciences choose to major in these fields. Coursework that is required by most medical schools includes: two composition courses, including ENG 111; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106); CHM 351,352; BIO 113, 114,215,367; MAT 145,146; PHY 121, 122. Courses recommended in preparation for MCATs: BIO 355, 473, 476; CHM 361. Students must consult with faculty in biology and chemistry as well as the pre-medical adviser in the Academic Advising Center early in their studies. Pre-Occupational Therapy, PrePhysician Assistant, and Pre-Physical Therapy-Coursework in preparation for these training programs should be discussed with a faculty member in the Department of Biology. Pre-Pharmacy-Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota: BIO 113, 114, 215,476; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351,352; ECO 113; ENG 111, and a second course; MAT 145, 146; PHY 121, 122; electives from human anatomy (ACTC); and humanities, literature, and the arts to fulfill the semester hour 2 56 Academic Information requirements.

Pre-Veterinary Medicine-To meet minimum requirements of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, these courses are recommended: ENG, two courses; MAT 145, 146; public speaking, one course; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351, 352, 353; BIO 113, 114, 215; PHY 121, 122; economics, one course; two courses in art, literature, music, humanities, theatre, or upper division modem languages; and anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, or sociology courses to fulfill the rest of the curriculum requirements. Requirements at other universities may vary. HONORS PROGRAM The Honors Program is designed to challenge and encourage the most academically distinguished students at Augsburg. The program combines academic and cultural components with social activities. Members of the program normally enter as freshmen, but students may enter the program as late as the beginning of the junior year. Students graduate from the Honors Program upon successful completion of the program, which is noted on the transcript. That notation provides an advantage for both employment and graduate school application. The Honors Program at Augsburg was awarded a National Science Foundation Grant in 1995 to establish an Honors Computing and Communications Lab in Foss 20, and to put the program on a computational footing. Students entering the program as freshmen are required to take an honors version of CSC 160 Introduction to Computer Science and Communications, which establishes crisp computing and communications skills at the outset of their collegiate careers. Other courses in the program make use of these computing skills in lab-oriented sequences exploring literature, writing, history, religion, philosophy, and social and natural science. During the junior and senior years, students take four mini-seminars (one full course credit upon completion), one each semester, and participate in a six-week Monday Forum Program each term. Seniors take a senior seminar during Interim, which satisfies a perspective requirement, and are obliged to complete an approved honors project. Some seniors satisfy this requirement by serving on the Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal that publishes outstanding student papers. Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance of at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a 3.4 the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last two years. Please direct inquiries to Dr. Joan Griffin, associate director of the Honors Program, 330-1045, or Dr. Lany Crockett, director of the Honors Program, 330-1060. INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. Library and Media CenterThrough CLIC, the Twin Cities private - Academic Information 57 colleges library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to over 1,300,000 volumes. Associated Colleges of t h e Twin Cities (ACTC)-Full-time weekday students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect a course each semester at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. The colleges have coordinated calendars. The Interim term may also be taken on another campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students between the campuses. Augsburg College also cooperates with other colleges in planning study opportunities for the January Interim. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)-Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Scandinavia, South and Central America, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs on page 59.) Air Force ROTC-Augsburg students may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under the ACTC consortium agreement. Students are eligible to compete for two- and threeyear AFROTC scholarships. For more information, contact the registrar's office. Army ROTC-Augsburg students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. For more information, contact the registrar's office. Naval ROTC-Augsburg students may participate in the Naval ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. For more information, contact the registrar's office. Note: A maximum of one full Augsburg course credit of military science studies may apply toward the total credits required for graduation. Additional military science credits beyond the one credit allowed will be classified as non-degree credits. OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDY ABROAD An increasing number of Augsburg students are taking advantage of the opportunity to gain academic credit for an overseas experience. Through study abroad students may meet with grassroots women's organizations in Mexico, work in a small business or artisan program in Kenya, examine Scandinavian perspectives on world peace in Norway or thrill to the sounds of The Magic Flute at the Viennese state opera house. Study abroad provides opportunities to develop critical thinking skills, strengthen language competencies, further career paths, experience different cultures, and gain knowledge about the increasingly interdependent world. Academic Requirements and Credit Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an international dimension to any academic program. Students normally receive the same number of course credits abroad as if studying on campus. Courses abroad can 58 Academic Information fulfill major, general education, and graduation requirements when approved by academic advisers and department chairs before departure. Students receive advice on selecting programs that best fit their academic, career, and personal objectives. Assistance is provided with application, course registration, financing, and travel arrangements. Orientation and re-entry programs assist students in integrating the experience abroad into their coursework and personal lives. Eligibility and Application All students in good academic standing (a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may apply for permission to study off campus. Although foreign language skills are an asset, they are not required. Since it takes some time to prepare for studying abroad, students should start planning during their freshman and sophomore years. The deadline for application is Sept. 30 for off-campus study during spring term and March 1 for off-campus study during fall term. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of many programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for a semester on campus. Financial aid is granted on the same basis as on-campus study. Cost estimates are drawn up to assist the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying overseas. The Center for Global Education The Center for Global Education facilitates cross-cultural learning experiences that prepare people to think more critically about global issues and to work toward a more just and sustainable world. The tenter's programs explore a diversity of view- points and are grounded in the perspectives of the poor and of others struggling for justice and human dignity. The center's study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with other participants in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting, and several weeks living with host families.

THE CENTER FOR SERVICE, WORK, AND LEARNING The Center for Service, Work, and Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an educational focus emphasizing the importance and value for all students to engage in service and work-based learning experiences and design of a four-year career plan integrating their education with a vocation and life plan. The center helps students take advantage of Augsburg's metropolitan location through the highly successful experiential programs that link the College's academic programs to Twin Cities employers and organizations. Through internships, cooperative education, and community servicelearning, Augsburg students integrate and expand their liberal arts education by embracing the worlds of work and service and integrating this learning with their career and vocation plan. The center helps link employers, community organizations, and the academic program in ways that enrich and expand a student's educational experience and personal development. Experiential education opportunities are closely related to a student's major, coursework, or career interest. Placements may be in small and midsize companies, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government agencies, and community-based organizations. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowing and doing" adds breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic, personal, and career decisions. - Academic Information 61 Academic Internships An academic internship is a carefully planned, work-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A learning agreement plan that is negotiated with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlining the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods, is required. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Upper division internships are numbered 399 and lower division internships are numbered 199 (see page 85). Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester (or Weekend College trimester), Interim, or summer session. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and Grading on page 75. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Cooperative Education Cooperative education is a college-supported, paid, work-learning experience that is closely related to a student's major or career objective. The goal is to combine theory with practice in work or servicebased settings. Students also earn money to help defray educational costs while gaining important on-the-job experience. Job placements typically are part-time during the academic year andlor full-time in the summer. Co-op jobs are flexible and can begin and end anytime. Co-op ed is not accredited in and of itself, but a non-credit cooperative education transcript notation is highly recommended during the academic terms the student is employed. Co-op ed students are encouraged to register for at least one internship for credit in conjunction with their cooperative education participation. Co-op ed is available to Augsburg students who have completed their freshman year and are in good academic standing. Community Service-Learning Augsburg's Community ServiceLearning Program provides students with opportunities to respond to human needs in the city through service experiences, which include reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth. Augsburg students learn from the community in which they live by participating in service activities combined with learning components such as orientation sessions, seminars, and class discussions. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between the students and the community. Community service examples include tutoring at schools and community centers close to campus, volunteering at homeless shelters, building housing for low-income people, or working with environmental groups. Service-learning experiences include course-embedded community service, internships, cooperative education, and a wide range of extracurricular volunteer options. The service-learning program works closely with the student-directed Augsburg LINK, residence hall directors, and campus ministry. 62 Academic Information CAREER SERVICES Career Services is committed to assisting all students with their career planning. This process is an important part of a student's development while attending college. To aid students in this process, Career Services offers students the opportunity to actively participate in career seminars, career assessments, one-on-one counseling, self-paced computer career planning modules, and use of the Alumni Resource Network for informational interviews. Services are available to all students, but some programs are sponsored especially for seniors. Seniors are encouraged to attend one of three annual job fairs with recruiters representing business, education, or nonprofit and government sectors. There is also an annual graduate and professional school fair for seniors to explore educational options after graduation. WEEKEND COLLEGE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative for adult students who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means to earn a college degree, complete a second major, or pursue a personal interest or skill. Weekend College classes meet on alternate weekends. There are three trimester terms during the academic year, from early September through June. Students may take from one to four classes each term. Although Augsburg Weekend College involves the same courses as the day pro: gram, the cumculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and the following majors: accounting, business administra- tion (specializations in finance, international business, management, and marketing), communication (concentrations in general communication, organizational communication and mass communication), computer science, economics, elementary and secondary education, English, history, management information systems, nursing, psychology, religion, social work, and studio art. A separate Weekend College catalog is available from the Office of Weekend College, (612) 330-1782. GRADUATE PROGRAMS Augsburg College offers two graduate degree programs: the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and the Master of Social Work (MSW). Catalogs for each degree program should be consulted for complete information. The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on the subject matter and approaches of the traditional liberal arts. This crossdisciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches at situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg's program recognizes that today's leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program operates on alternate Saturdays and alternate Thursday evenings. The Master of Social Work (MSW) prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the College and supports the College's mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. Academic lnformatsn There are two concentrations: family practice or program development, policy, and administration. Students choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus. The curriculum emphasizes work with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership for social change and a holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. The program development, policy, and administration concentration has been developed in response to the growing demand for creative leadership and administration of policies and services that respond to human need. OTHER PROGRAMS Continuing Education Program The mission of the Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and non-credit programs consistent with the mission and values of the College. Adult students who wish to earn traditional course credit should contact the Office of Weekend College. The Office of Continuing Education is currently developing a series of non-credit programs to offer through the Center for Professional Development. These seminars will focus primarily on leadership, management, communications, and information technology for businesses and nonprofit organizations. Call the office for information on current course offerings. Canadian Program The Canadian program was inaugurated in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and faculty activity in Canadian studies. The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness of the importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians through visits and exchanges. For more information contact Milda K. Hedblom, Canadian program coordinator. Elderhostel and College of the Third Age Augsburg College has a commitment to lifelong learning and is host to both Elderhostel and College of the Third Age. For more information, contact the Office of Continuing Education. 2 b4 Academic Information - 1 --= 1 REGISTRATION A student must be registered for a course to receive credit for it. Full-time students normally register for four course credits per semester and one course during Interim. Students registered for three or more course credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. To register for more than 4.5 course credits, students must contact the registrar's office to petition the Committee on Student Standing for permission. Although a student may register up to five days after the semester begins, registration is encouraged at the regularly scheduled time. Special fees are charged for late registration. Special fees are also charged for cancelling or adding courses or changing the grading option after the first five days of a semester. A joint class schedule is published each spring by the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, listing courses and their locations at the five colleges for the following academic year. As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisers when planning their academic program. Interim, summer school, Weekend College, and graduate program courses are published in separate catalogs. Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices: Office of the RegistrarScience Hall 114 Interim OfficeMemorial Hall 226 Office of Summer SchoolMemorial Hall 226A Office of Weekend College-Sverdrup Hall MAL Graduate Program OfficeMemorial Hall 226A MSW Graduate Program OfficeMemorial Hall 12 Pre-Registration Freshmen and transfer students may pre-register during summer for courses in the fall. All currently enrolled students may pre-register during the fall for the spring term and during the spring for the fall term. Class Confirmation (payment of fees) All students must confirm their registration with a signature and final payment arrangements prior to the start of classes. Students who do not confirm their registration before the first day of classes (unless special arrangements have been made) will lose all classes. They may register and confirm during the first five days, but special late fees are assessed and added to their account. - Academic Information 65 Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from the College must be completed in the registrar's office. A Leave of AbsencdWithdrawal from the College form may be obtained in the Academic Advising Center or in the registrar's office. Withdrawal from College cannot occur during final examination week unless a petition is approved by the Committee on Student Standing. Withdrawal from College and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar's office. Leave of Absence Students may request a leave of absence for academic or personal reasons. A Leave of AbsencdWithdrawal from the College form must be picked up in the Academic Advising Center or the registrar's office. It must be signed by advising center staff or an authorized representative. The completed form must be submitted to the registrar's office. A leave of absence may be granted for one term or one academic year. If an extension is needed, an updated leave of absence form must be submitted to the registrar's office prior to the expiration of the previous leave of absence period, or an application for re-admission will be required. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar's office informed of their mailing addresses. All deadlines for financial aid and housing must be observed by the returning student. A leave of absence does not defer payment of loans or extend incomplete course deadlines. Former Students Former Augsburg students, re-admitted to complete a degree after being away from the College for at least one calendar year, have a choice between using the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, if possible, or using the catalog in effect at the point of re-admission. Students must meet all of the requirements in effect under the catalog they choose. Choosing to complete under the current catalog will require re-evaluation of prior coursework, including transfer credit, to determine applicability to current academic requirements. 66 Academic Information Music Therapy (B.S.) . . . . . . . . . . . .17 Physician Assistant (B.A.) . . . . . . .19.5 This quick-reference checklist is an abbreviated version of the general education curriculum requirements for graduation.

Academic advisers, the Academic Advising Center staff, department chairs, and the registrar are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a baccalaureate or higher degree should contact the registrar's office about specific requirements for a second baccalaureate degree or for the equivalent of a major. See page 21 in Undergraduate Admissions-Special Students (Second Degree). Each student must apply for graduation. Students should apply at the start of their last academic year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available in the registrar's office. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the registrar's office prior to the anticipated date of graduation (there may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record). Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Seminar (AUG), a minimum GPA, residence, and general education courses, including lifetime sports. 1. Completion of 33 course credits-At least 11 course credits must be upper division, numbered in the 300s and 400s. Not more than 13 course credits may be in one department, except in certain approved majors: accounting (B.A.) 14; music education (B.M.) - 17; music performance (B.M.) - 20; music therapy (B.S.) - 17; physician assistant (B.A.) 19.5; and social work (B.S.) - 15. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Students transferring with 14 or more courses are not required to take the Interim courses. Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 course credits required for graduation. No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 33 total course credits required: four Interim courses; two courses by independentldirected study; four courses of internship; and eight course credits with a grade of Pass (P). Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits: two in the major except elementary education (two in the major plus student teaching), social work (two in the major plus field work practicums). 2. Completion of a MajorRequirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Augsburg Seminar (AUC)-A11 students who enter the College as freshmen in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and the Augsburg Seminar. See the program section on the Augsburg Seminar for a full description. 4. Grade Point Average-2.0 for most majors. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required for all courses taken and specifically for all courses that apply toward a major or special program. Some majors, licensure, and certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance, music therapy, nursing, and social work.) See the departmental section for details. 5. Residence-The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of the last 9 credits) must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved ACTC exchange program. No less than a total of 9 credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the registrar if an official interpretation is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required to be taken in residence within the major. Consult the catalog description of the major or the chairperson of the department Academic Information 69 SKILLS COMPONENT Entry Level Skills Requirements The entry level skills tests are inventory assessments in: Writing Mathematics Critical thinking Placement in writing courses, math courses, and critical thinking courses is determined by the assessments. Freshmen (all students entering Augsburg with fewer than seven college credit courses) and sophomore transfer students with fewer than 14 courses: Take entry-level skills assessments and satisfy requirements. If skill levels are deficient, students will be enrolled in the appropriate course or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement assessment. Students are required to take the assessments before registering for the second term and to have demonstrated removal of deficiencies by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Effective Writing or its equivalent is required. Students who do not satisfy the entry level skill in writing will be required to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing before ENG 111 Effective Writing. Freshmen should complete the writing requirement before the beginning of their sophomore year. Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are exempt from the critical thinking inventory. Freshman and sophomore transfer students will be required to satisfy all of the Graduation Skill course requirements. 70 Academic Information Advanced Transfer Students Transfer students who enter with 14 credits or more are exempt from critical thinking assessments. Those who have not passed the equivalent of ENG 111 Effective Writing course must take the entry level test in writing. Augsburg's entry level test in writing will determine placement in an appropriate writing course. Advanced transfer students are required to satisfy all the Graduation Skill course requirements, except only one of the writing courses (the one within the major) is required. Math Requirement In order to graduate, students must take the Math Placement Exam and achieve a score placing them in Group 3 (college algebra skills). Students with an acceptable transfer mathematics course will have their placement level determined by the registrar's office. Students who have passed the College Board Advanced Placement Exam should consult the mathematics department. Math placement is indicated on the Evaluation of Transfer Credit form for students who have transfer courses in collegelevel math. All students are required to have their Math Placement Group (MPG) determined. The exam is given during college registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Students in MPG 2 needing to advance to MPG 3 may take MAT 105. Students in MPG 3 needing to advance to MPG 4 may take MAT 114. No other MAT courses change a student's Math Placement Group. Students in MPG 1needing to advance to MPG 2 should consult the registrar's office or Academic Advising Center for advice on transferable equivalent courses available off campus. Students are also permitted to retake the Math Placement Exam until September of the following academic year. Review help is available from the Academic Enrichment Center. Please note that all students must attain at least Math Placement Group 3 . In addition, many courses have Math Placement Group requirements. In particular, MIS 379,479; CSC 170,210; SOC 362; PHY 103; all MAT courses; and all courses with a Graduation Skill component in Quantitative Reasoning have at least Math Placement Group 3 as a prerequisite. In addition, MIS 175 and introductory physics courses have at least Math Placement Group 2 as a prerequisite. Students should refer to the course descriptions to check the Math Placement Group prerequisites for courses that they are interested in taking. Graduation Level Skills General education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Skills related to writing, critical thinking, speaking, and quantitative reasoning are deliberate components of certain courses. Completion of the requisite courses with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required for graduation. Students are required to have two courses with Writing Skill components (at least one within the major) and one course each with Critical Thinking, Speaking, and Quantitative Reasoning Skill components. These courses can simultaneously satisfy skill requirements and graduation requirements for the major or general education perspectives. Academic Information 71 All Writing Skill courses have the prerequisite of ENG 111,all Quantitative Reasoning Skill courses have the prerequisite of Math Placement Group 3, and all Critical Thinking Skill courses have the prerequisite of passing the entry level Critical Thinking Assessment. Lifetime Sports Two different lifetime sports are required. Students in the day program who are not health and physical education majors or in intercollegiate athletics may test out of one lifetime sport. Weekend College students may test out of two lifetime sports. Lifetime sports are non-credit courses, are not counted as meeting Interim course requirements, and are not included in the 33-course requirement. 3. No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from the same department in meeting perspective requirements. 4. No student may count more than one course from the same department in meeting the requirements of any single perspective emphasis area except: Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective, The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith. Up to two courses in a year-long sequence of approved natural science courses may be used to meet the perspective, The Natural World. Up to two courses of the same mode m language may be used to meet part of the perspective, Intercultural Awareness. LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES The general education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for beginning to understand what it means to be a human. The goals of the perspectives are achieved through a variety of courses that have been approved as meeting the criteria established for each perspective. Students will choose from a list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the registrar's office. These choices are controlled by the following policies: 1. A student will choose a minimum of one course from each required perspective category. 2. No single course can fulfill the requirements in two or more categories. RATIONALE FOR PERSPECTIVES Augsburg, in its mission statement, declares the College exists "to nurture future leaders in service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community." One way that the College seeks consciously to realize this mission is through its general education curriculum. The Augsburg faculty has designed a cohesive academic program incorporating general education, major courses, supporting courses, and elective courses leading to the bachelor's degree. The core of the Augsburg curriculum is found in the liberal arts as expressed in the general education component of the College cuniculum that is divided under two headings: Liberal Arts Perspectives and Skills. 72 Academic Information The term "perspective" assumes that not only are we engaged in the search for truth, but that this requires the searcher to consider questions from a variety of viewpoints, each of which has something valuable to contribute to the whole. These perspectives are not strictly identified with traditional disciplines, but are understood in ways that encourage multi-disciplinary reflections on the questions at issue. They combine concerns about content with those of process and approach, directed ultimately to making the student a more effective learner and participant in society. The following requirements reflect the way in which Augsburg has chosen to view the liberal arts. Two of the four features of the mission statement are embodied in the general education perspectives: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith and The City. These perspectives emphasize that the College's affiliation with the Lutheran Church, its insistence on the value of knowing the approach that derives from the Christian roots of the College, and its location in the city deserve special consideration in Augsburg's educational program. The third feature-that Augsburg is a liberal arts institution-is also emphasized in the other general education perspective requirements. Certain dimensions of human life-of what it is to be humanform the core of the required liberal arts experience. These overall perspectives on what it is to be human can themselves be studied from the vantage points of the various academic disciplines. Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person. Hence, the perspective on Human Identity But the person exists in both a social community and a natural world. Hence, the importance of the perspectives on the Social World and the Natural World. Because the way in which we understand ourselves derives largely from our Western heritage, students need to learn about and reflect on significant aspects of this heritage. Thus, the perspective on the Western Heritage. At the same time, to focus on the West alone would be ethnocentric. We live in a global society. Hence the perspective on Intercultural Awareness. Attention to moral values is found not only in the perspective on the character and mission of the College, the Christian Faith, but throughout the other perspectives as well. The perspective on Aesthetics enables students to focus on aesthetic works created by themselves or others, which convey fundamental insights, express beauty, and enhance life. Finally, the mission statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic excellence. This has a number of features, including the way we teach all the courses in general education. Beyond this, academic excellence presupposes that students have the requisite skills to do college-level work. The general education requirements are couched in a context that pays attention to the skills of both incoming and graduating students. Entry level skill requirements in a number of critical areas, including writing, mathematics, and critical thinking, will be assessed and help will be given to students who need it. Graduation level skills are also emphasized so that students not only maintain but develop their skills during their Augsburg experience. Academic Information The general education requirements provide a coherent way to address the mission of Augsburg College. They are not the only way, and do not they guarantee that students who graduate from Augsburg possess the desired knowledge and character traits. What they do is provide a coherent description of the context in which we liberally educate students, a clear statement of expected outcomes, and an opportunity for students to see and understand the complexity of what it is to be human and Christian in an urban setting. THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE REQUIREMENTS Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith This perspective focuses on Augsburg as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As a college of the Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its educational program the doctrines of the Christian faith as revealed in scripture and the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian Scriptures, theological concepts, ethical values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian faith as part of becoming educated. Christian Faith (CF 1, 2, and 3) Area 1 is biblical studies, Area 2 covers Christian theology, and Area 3 includes the study of values or religions outside the Christian faith. Three course credits are required to meet this perspective except for the following: Transfer students entering with 14-23 course credits will be required to take two courses in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Transfer students entering with 24 or more course credits will be required to take one course in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The City This perspective focuses on the College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this perspective, students should gain an understanding of and critically reflect upon the city with its diverse populations, cultural, governmental and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students should experience the community and should explore opportunities for service in the community. This requirement must be covered either by specific courses, by internship and education experiences, or by designated or college-approved non-credit experiences (such as volunteer service or college programs). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by a GST 209 seminar related to the perspective. The City (C) One course credit or experience is required to meet this perspective. Perspective: Western Heritage This perspective is intended to help students critically examine themes (found, for example, in literature, philosophy, and the arts) and events that have historically shaped Western civilization. Attention should be paid to the contributions of and to critiques of Western thought by women and ethnic minorities. 3 74 Academic Information Western Heritage (WH 1 and 2) Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. Perspective: Human Identity This perspective is intended to help students view themselves as people with unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiences, and behaviors. Human ldentity (HI) One course credit is required to meet this perspective. Perspective: Aesthetics Aesthetic creations convey fundamental insights and values, express beauty, and enhance life. This perspective focuses on aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by oneself and others. Aesthetics (A) One course credit is required to meet this perspective. Perspective: The Social World This perspective is intended to help students learn to identify, examine, and critique social, economic, or political systems: to understand how and why such systems develop, to see the connections among these systems, and to use this knowledge as a participant in society. Social World (SW 1 and 2) One course must focus on current theories and methods of a social science. Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. Perspective: Intercultural Awareness This perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by expanding students' awareness of other cultures. One course is required in which students critically reflect upon ways their own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become better able to communicate with persons of other cultural backgrounds, partially by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstream North American cultures. In addition, students are to gain entry into another culture by learning to speak and read a language other than their native language. For this part of the perspective, students are required to have demonstrated proficiency in a modem language, or American Sign Language for hearing students. The modem language requirement will be determined by assessing previous experience and subsequent placement. Intercultural Awareness (IA 1) The study of a specific, non-Western culture and how that culture has shaped the world. One course credit is required to meet this part of the Intercultural Awareness Perspective. Academic Information Intercultural Awareness (IA 2 and 3) Perspective: The Natural World Study of a modem language other than the native tongue. For a language previously studied, consult the table below for the requirement. For a language not previously studied, successful completion of 111, 112 is required. Students with previous language study should contact the modem languages department if there are questions. There is a seven-year time limit on courses presented for transfer and automatic waiver. Students whose native language is not English should contact the Academic Advising Center. This perspective is intended to help students understand themselves in relation to the physical world. Their active role as observers, explorers, and moral agents will be emphasized. Sufficient technical training in scientific knowledge, concepts, and methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues. H.S. Semesters Augsburg Required Placement Courses Natural World (NW 1 and 2) Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this perspective unless an approved one-year sequence is taken. One course is required to meet this perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. EXPLANATION OF GRADES Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. 8 311 exempt Students who are required to complete two semesters of modem language must complete the requirement with sequential courses in the same language. Hearing students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled IA 2 and IA 3 Perspectives. Most courses are offered with grading options-traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. PassINo Credit Students who choose the PIN option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. 5 76 Academic Information P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 68. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime sports are graded only PIN). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes after the first five days of classes. All changes in grading option that are made after initial registration require the signature of an adviser or the instructor. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Performance below basic course standards Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher 0.5 0.0 An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission from the course instructor, stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work with comments from the instructor; and must file the form with the registrar's office. If permission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following semester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a notation on the record. 1.5 1.0 Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. Academic Information 77 grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Classification Auditing Courses Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines are available at the registrar's office. Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time students may audit a course without charge. The charge for part-time students is listed under College Costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 24. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of courses taken.* "Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Students are classified in August and at the end of the fall and Interim terms. Sophomores-7 courses completed. Juniors-16 courses completed. Seniors-24 courses completed. International Baccalaureate Program (IB) ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1)it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. 78 Academic Information The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: Advanced Placement Program Test (AP)-The Advanced Placement program may allow students who have scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Test to receive college credit for selected courses. A score of 4 or 5 is required on the AP Language and Composition examination for credit for ENG 111 Effective Writing. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department. Inquiries should be addressed to the registrar's office. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)-This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the registrar's office and the Academic Advising Center. Departmental Comprehensive Exams-These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program-This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the registrar's office. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed andlor systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to. both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four courses/credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used - Academic Information 79 when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a PIN credit basis only. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, upper division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the depaments involved in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning-While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of leaming that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the four assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English as a Second Language (ESL) Students who declare a language other than English to be their primary language or who are citizens of another country must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, ENG 101 Developmental Writing, or ENG 111 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (80-100 range for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ESL coursework is required. Usually a score of 80 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENG 217/218 until such time that they pass the ESL placement test at 80 percent or higher. The ESL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language requirement for graduation. - Academic Information ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION, A N D DISMISSAL The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman-A student who has taken fewer than 7 courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore--A student who has taken fewer than 16 courses with a cumulative GPA o m r higher junior-A?t'u%nt who has taken fewer than 24 courses with a cumulative GPA of $or higher 2 0 Senior-A student who has taken 24 or more courses with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation, with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term or will be continued on probation or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be smongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum levels stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. Dean's List The Dean's List, compiled after each semester, lists students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incomplete~in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program's calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean's List. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. - Academic Information 81 Graduation with Distinction Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement as graduates of distinction. This designation will begin with the year 2000 commencement and will apply to all students who complete degree requirements after Jan. 1, 2000. Students achieving Graduation with Distinction will have an overall GPA of 3.5 and will have completed an outstanding project as determined by the student's major department. Students wishing to be considered for Graduation with Distinction should consult with their major department no later than the fall semester of their junior year. Qualification for Commencement Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the month of May. Undergraduate students who will not have met degree requirements by the end of the spring term may qualify to participate in commencement i t (1) no more than three course creditslrequirements will remain in their program at the end of the spring term, and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms following participation in commencement. Candidates for graduation who will complete summer or fall terms will be noted as such in the commencement program. FOUR-YEAR ASSURANCE PROGRAM This program applies to students who enter the day school schedule as full-time freshmen in the fall of 1996 and thereafter. New freshmen are assured that they will be able to graduate in four years-if they maintain continuous full-time enrollment for four years, maintain a 2.0 GPA, and follow advising guidelines-or they will receive the remaining required courses free of additional tuition. A few professional majors are excluded from this program. Students must complete a formal advising agreement with the College by the end of their sophomore year (16 course credits are completed) in order to qualify. Contact the Academic Advising Center for details. FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT NOTICE The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records.

I C r I Course Descriptions with Major and Minor Requirements 84 Department majors and programs are Qsted - 1 alphabetically. Also see index. 134 DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMS A. a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge andtruthare interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College's program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered fall and/or spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The Schedule of Classes published each spring by the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) lists offerings and locations for fall and spring terms. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for Interim , Summer Session, Weekend College, the Master of Arts in Leadership, and the Master of Social Work courses are published in separate catalogs. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or one-quarter course credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. - Departments and Programs 85 director of internships and cooperative education. Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional statements that can be found in the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. W INTERNSHIPS Registration for internships consists of the following steps: 1. Obtain the internship registration permission form from the Center for Service, Work, and Learning and secure the signatures of the faculty supervisor and 2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship during the registration period. The signed permission form must be turned in at the time of registration. (Students may pre-register without a placement secured, but a suitable internship must be found by the end of the registration or drop/add period.) 3. A learning agreement (forms are available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning) must be completed with the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The original is turned in to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning, with copies made for the faculty, supervisor, and student. 199 lnternship A work or service-based learning experience at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning of the termlregistration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator and the Center for Service, Work, and Learning regarding requirements and permission to register. 399 lnternship A work or service-based learning experience at the juniodsenior level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator and the internship office regarding requirements and permission to register. 86 Departments and Programs DIRECTED AND INDEPENDENT STUDIES 299 Directed Study An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Open to all students, but normally taken by sophomores and juniors. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. 499 Independent StudyIResearch An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Normally open to junior and senior majors. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. ACCOUNTING See listing under Business Administration, Accounting, and Management Information Systems. AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES See listing under Interdisciplinary Studies. A. t is important as a field of study for our time. Our survival as a culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order and beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this, we have made design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the art program at Augsburg. Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist, art teacher, and art historian is to celebrate visual experience through a variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how to see. Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art as a human activity does involve manual skill, although to become broadly significant it should interact with the content available in other fields, such as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education, and science. A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, disciplines, and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Art Faculty Kristin Anderson (Chair), Tara Christopherson, Norman Holen, Philip Thompson Studio Art Major Majors are required to begin their programs with the studio arts foundations: ART 102 Design ART 107 Drawing One course in two-dimensional art from: ART 118 Painting I or ART 223 Printmaking I or ART 225 Communication Design or ART 360 Watercolor Painting One course in three-dimensional art from: ART 221 Sculpture I or ART 250 Ceramics I Five additional studio arts courses ART 240 Art History Survey Two additional art history courses Senior studio majors must participate in at least one exhibit during their final year.

The initial months after entering college as a first-year student are an exciting period of change. The faculty and staff wish to assist students in making a successful transition to being college students and to help them become part of this academic community. Through the summer orientation program, the fall orientation weekend, and the Augsburg Seminar, students are introduced to the character of the College, its heritage as an urban, liberal arts college of the Church, the process of learning in a community where ideas are valued and treated seriously, and the logistics of being students. Augsburg Seminar At registration, all first-year students in the day program enroll in a selected content course, such as Effective Writing and a parallel Augsburg Seminar. These 'paired' courses integrate disciplinary content with AUC 101 various learning strategies and communitybuilding opportunities beneficial to all beginning students. The content course usually meets three hours per week for the entire semester and is valued at 1.0 course credit, and the Augsburg Seminar meets once a week for 12 weeks for .25 course credit. The Augsburg Seminar offers the opportunity for further discussion of topics from the paired content course, along with presentations on campus life, academic resources and study skills, and a hands-on introduction to the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. While the content course is graded on a traditional point basis, the Augsburg Seminar is graded Pass/No credit (P/N). However, performance in the course is linked to performance in the seminar. Students must successfully complete the entire 12-week Augsburg Seminar in order to fulfill the requirement, even if they drop the paired content course. Permission to complete the seminar after withdrawal from the content course is at the discretion of the instructor. Augsburg Seminar (.25 course) A series of fall-term meetings with an Augsburg seminar adviser to discuss issues related to becoming an active member of the Augsburg College community of learners. Discussion will be based upon topics and readings from the connected content course and other disciplines and sources. (P/N grading only) B iology is the study of life, and it's natural that we, as contemplative living creatures, seek a deeper understanding of the living world that envelops us. This search has led to the realization that the Earth is filled with an enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part of the biological world, an understanding of the basic biological processes common to all organisms is essential to attain selfunderstanding and to provide a basis for wise decisions. Biology Faculty Dale Pederson (Chair), William Capman, Mary K. Chelberg, Robert Herforth, Esther McLaughlin Major Nine courses includii: B10 113 Introductory Organismal Biology B10 114 Introductory Genetics, Evolution, and Ecology B10 215 Introductory Cellular Biology In recent decades great strides have been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those at the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans, including advances in memcine, agriculture, and food science. and at least one from each of the five following groups: Because a complete understanding of biological systems depends on applications of the principles of physics and chemistry, a firm background in the physical sciences is also important to support the student's broad-based understanding of biology. 2. For many, an undergraduate major in biology serves primarily as a basis for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to further studies in the life sciences, leading to careers in college or university teaching, basic and applied research, and public health. Many have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Other graduates have gone directly into secondary education, biomedical industries, laboratory research, natural resources, and environmental education. 1.

Minor A course in general chemistry and five biology courses including BIO 113, 114, 215, and two upper division courses. In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with members of the biology faculty. Biology majors must have an adviser in the biology department. Normally BIO 113 and 114 and Principles of Chemistry (or General Chemistry) should be taken in the first year, and Introductory Cellular Biology and Organic Chemistry in the second year. Students normally complete their math requirements early in their college careers. Students should consult members of the biology faculty and the pre-medical adviser in the Academic Advising Center for information specific to medical school application. Graduate and Professional Training Graduate programs in biological fields require coursework similar to that for premedical education, and may also require undergraduate research experience. Health care professions (physician assistant, physical therapist, veterinarian, etc.) have specific requirements that should be discussed with an adviser in the department and the pre-medical adviser in the Academic Advising Center. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identlfy current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.

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

CSC 345 T he Augsburg Department of Computer Science strives to give students a sound theoretical and practical foundation in computer science. We offer both a B.A. and a B.S. major. The computer science curriculum places eniphasis on networks, communications, and the use of computers as an information access tool. The coursework provides students a strong base in computer science, with emphasis on concepts rather than on applications. We encourage students to strengthen their coursework by electing an internship or cooperative education experience. Our location in the Twin Cities makes us an excellent resource of such experiences for students, and allows them to add practical applications to their education.

A major in East Asian studies is offered through Augsburg and the other Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This is an inter-college, interdepartmental program that is available as a result of the cooperation and cross-registration possibilities among Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, The College of St. Catherine, and the University of St. Thomas. The program pools the resources and expertise within the five institutions. This major enables students to acquire a broad knowledge of Japan, China, and other East Asian nations, and to gain a functional knowledge of the language of one country. Career opportunities for those who attain a liberal arts degree in East Asian studies include government service, international business, journalism, language instruction, Asian arts, and intercultural communication. The major provides a foundation for graduate work in various fields such as anthropology, economics, history, international relations, business, law, political science, sociology, and theatre. This major is also recommended for those interested in education and work with social and recreational agencies. East Asian Studies Faculty Martha Johnson, Director Major in East Asian Studies Nine courses are required for the major. Courses in the major must be approved by the campus adviser and are distributed as follows: four courses in an East Asian language; four additional courses, two of which must be upper division (strongly recommended that one of these be a history course on China or Japan); and an East Asian studies seminar. A term of study abroad and the completion of a minor in another discipline are strongly recommended. Study abroad opportunities for the semester or a year are available in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and the People's Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the country of specialization. Language Courses Hamline University offers elementary and intermediate courses in Chinese. Macalester College and the University of St. Thomas offer elementary and intermediate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese languages (without extra tuition charges); see campus adviser. Non-majors may also take the Chinese and Japanese language courses. - East Asian Studies Minor in East Asian Studies Five courses, no more than two of which may be in the language. A minor in East Asian studies provides exposure to an area of East Asia that would complement other discivlines. Note: Interim courses or new courses related to the East Asian Studies Program may be substituted when appropriate, with the consent of the campus adviser. Faculty advising is recommended at all stages of the major to plan a coherent and effective program. Each campus has a member on the ACTC East Asian studies committee who can assist students. The current advisers are: Augsburg-Martha Johnson, 330-1715; Hamline-Richard Kagan, 641-2433; Macalester-Yue-him Tam, 696-6262; St. Catherine-Martha Hardesty, 690-6189; St. Thomas-Robert Foy, 962-5603.

Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. Currently four majors are offered. The economics major is designed primarily for students who are planning graduate or advanced professional studies. The applied economics major generally leads to careers in the business world or government. Computational economics meets the challenge of the changing career opportunities in the fields of economics and computer science. Finally, the combined economics/business administration major is designed for those who want more flexibility in planning their program of study. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and to make choices. Some reasons for studying economics are: economics deals with current problems, economics is a successful and prestigious social science, economics employs theoretical models and the scientific method, an economics major prepares students for community leadership, and an economics major leads to a great diversity of career opportunities. These include careers in business, law, teaching, journalism, politics, banking and Einance, service in government, educational administration, private and public international senrice, and industrial relations. A degree in economics may prove to be a valuable credential. Students are also able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, computer science, management information systems (MIS), political science, history, and Nordic area studies. Transfer students majoring in the economics department must take at least four upper division economics courses at Augsburg, one of which must be ECO 312 or 313. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the internship office before registering for academic credit. Economics Faculty Jeanne Boeh, Satya F!

Spring) A ugsburg College has cooperative arrangements with three universities to allow students to earn a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and an engineering degree from either the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis; Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science, St. Louis, Missouri; or Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan. Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser. University of Minnesota The Institute of Technology and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs: Bachelor of Art~IBachelorof Engineering (B.A.1B.E.) enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and a bachelor of engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the Institute of Technology. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the Institute of Technology may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Bachelor of ArtsIMaster of Engineering (B.A.1M.E.) enables students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg College and a master of engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of Technology. The cumculum is the same as the B.A.B.E. cumculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate cumculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the B.A.M.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.A.M.E. program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology. Washington University (Three-Year Plan) Michigan Technological University (Dual-Degree Plan) These two programs enable students to receive a bachelor of arts degree from Augsburg and a bachelor of engineering degree from Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science or Michigan Technological University in a five-year period. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they com- - Engineering 1 3 plete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the engineering adviser of Augsburg College. Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Washington University and Michigan Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg engineering adviser. Financial Aid: Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineering school of their choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual-degree or three-two programs: CHM 115 General Chemistry CHM 116 General Chemistry CSC 170 Structured Programming ENG 111 Effective Writing PHY 121 General Physics I PHY 122 General Physics 11 Four mathematics courses are required: MAT 145 Calculus I MAT 146 Calculus I1 MAT 245 Calculus 111 MAT 247 Modeling and Differential Equations Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 27 courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146 and PHY 121,122 are taken in the freshman year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351,352. 7r hose who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as others do, and better understand the world in which we live and work. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English as a Second Language (ESL) students, tutoring in the writing lab, or participating in the Cooperative Education Program. Students with an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library sci- ence, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

H istory is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The distinguished medievalist J. R. Strayer expressed it this way: "No community can survive and no institution can function without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common experiences that makes scattered individuals into a community." The study of history enables us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and change in society The construction of an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be active and contributing members of their society. The study of history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate study in several fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing of information. History Faculty Christopher Kimball (Chair), Jacqueline deVries, William Green, Donald Gustafson, Richard Nelson (either survey or upper level) from each of the four areas: ancient and medieval, modem Europe, U.S., and non-Western.

I nternational study at Augsburg aims to increase intercultural competency and reflects the College's strong commitment to internationalism. Programs administered by the Center for Global Education, by International Partners, and by the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) offer excellent opportunities for rigorous academic work, greater understanding of cross-cultural issues, and exploration of the benefits of global citizenshiv. Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an international dimension to any academic I program. Students normally receive the same number of course credits abroad as they would if studying on campus. Courses abroad can fulfill major, distributiodgeneral education, and graduation requirements when approved by the appropriate program directors and faculty before departure. Note: Only the fourth or higher term of language counts toward the major; prerequisite courses or competencies cannot be credited toward the 13 required courses. Students should confer with the program director about regional and disciplinary concentrations possible within the major; for example, a concentration in a geographic area or one of the major disciplines in the program. Students in good academic standing (a minimum GPA of 2.5) at Augsburg may apply for permission to study off campus through the Center for Global Education or through International Partners. Applications are due December 15 for study off campus for the next year. The cost for many programs is equivalent to full room, board, and tuition for on-campus study, plus airfare. Financial aid is granted on the same basis as oncampus study. THE CENTER FOR GLOBAL EDUCATION The Center for Global Education facilitates sound academic experiences that prepare people to think more critically about global issues and to work toward a more just and sus,tainable world. The center's cross-cultural programs explore a diversity of viewpoints and are grounded in the perspective of the poor and of others struggling for justice and human dignity. International Studies 167 The center's study programs are conducted in Mexico, Central America, and Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations, which include living with other participants in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting and several weeks living with host families. They also travel together on two-week seminars: from Mexico to Central America, and Namibia to South Africa. International study programs administered by the Center for Global Education and approved through Augsburg are listed below.

M Mathematics Faculty Ken Kaminsky (Chair), Larry Copes, Suzanne Doree, Rebekah Valdivia athematics is the study of structure and relationships, providing tools for solving a wide variety of problems. Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thought processes helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education. Students majoring in many disciplines that involve structure or relationships find it helpful to acquire a minor or a second major in mathematics. MAT 145 MAT 146 MAT 245 MAT 246 MAT 314 MAT 324 CSC 160 Mathematics is also a discipline in its own right. Students majoring in mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason abstractly, to conjecture critique and justify their assertions, to formulate questions, to investigate open-ended problems, to read and comprehend precise mathematical writings, to speak and write about mathematical ideas, and to experience working in teams on mathematical projects. These students can prepare for graduate school, for work in industry or service professions, or for teaching mathematics in grades 7-12. Teaching Licensure Major The department's programs support work toward those goals. Students may choose either a standard mathematics major, a mathematics major with concenaation in applied mathematics, or a mathematics major toward secondary education licensure. Augsburg's urban location allows students to gain experience working with mathematics through internships, cooperative education, and the practicum and colloquium courses.

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

Courses in the nursing major are offered on weekends with practicum courses requiring additional weekday time. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of credits transferred from other colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take non-nursing courses in both day school and Weekend College. Students interested in pursuing the nursing major should consult with an adviser from the Department of Nursing for program planning. - Nursing 205 Honors Major Admission to the honors major requires: a GPA of at least 3.6 in the major and 3.3 overall, application to the department chair by Nov. 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and honors thesis to be presented before a faculty committee by April 15.

T he Department of Philosophy assists students to understand issues raised in the traditional areas of philosophy. We consider questions about what knowledge is and how we know about the nature of reality, about the basis for making moral judgments, and about the rules for correct reasoning. Our goals are to instill in students a love of truth, to inspire a curiosity about the significance and meaning of the world they experience, and to develop the skills of critical analysis and creative synthesis. The department places a special emphasis on the history of philosophy, offering four courses covering the period from the ancient Greeks to the end of the 20th century. In these courses students are taught how to read, understand, and criticize great texts of Western civilization and to see how ideas have developed and matured through the centuries. The department also offers courses where philosophy and its methods and ideas are applied to other disciplines such as religion, science, and the arts. The major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with a major in philosophy and one in another discipline. Though some students continue on to graduate school in philosophy, most use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, or the Christian ministry. Philosophy majors generally perform better than others on graduate entrance examinations in medicine and law. Others enter the work place confident that the study of philosophy has given them the ability to think critically.

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

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

F irmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science has roots in the humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of statistical analysis, it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally The role and significance of authority in human affairs establish the focus of political science; because politics is a central and enduring reality in the world, it affects and is affected by many other human concerns. As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and analysis to examine political reality and to suggest and test alternatives. The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student will be encouraged to relate insights from other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history, and sociology to the study of politics. Providing work in several sub-fields of political science, the major supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in the discipline, as well as in public administration, public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service, business, communications, and other fields. Legislative and other intemships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg political science students in the Twin Cities area. Combined with broad, balanced, and flexible course offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student's potential for graduate study and a successful career. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of an experienced faculty that offers courses in all major areas of political science, and also possesses special expertise in the areas of campaigns and elections, comparative and international politics, mass communication and other information technology, racial and ethnic politics, and American public law.

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

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

Before taking the seminar, each major must have written one formal research paper and placed it on file with the department chair. Only one Interim course may be applied to the major. One New Testament Greek course may be applied to the major. Honors Major GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall, research project approved by the department, and colloquium with the department. Application must be received by the department by Dec. 30 of the student's senior year. Minor Five religion courses. Not more than one Interim course may be counted for the minor. Note: Not all courses that meet Christian Faith Perspectives are REL courses and do not count toward the religion major or minor. Youth and Family Ministry Major The major in youth and family ministry prepares persons for faithful work as youth and family ministers in Christian congregations and other ministry settings. This 238 Religion major is interdisciplinary, combining a core study of theology and Bible with supporting coursework in the social sciences. A distinctive part of the major is the combination of practical and theological training, using resources of the Youth and Family Institute of Augsburg College. Students are accepted into the program through a twostep candidacy process. This major requires an approximately 100-hour internship administered by the Youth and Family Institute in partnership with a congregation. It may be possible for the intern to receive a stipend for this internship. The candidacy process begins with application, normally in the fall of the student's sophomore or junior year. Two of the theology core courses must be completed before making application to the program. An essay, one letter of reference, an assessment instrument called "Self Portrait," and an interview are required for candidacy review. The teaching staff will conduct step one. The second step will be conducted by the Youth and Family Institute staff with help from experienced pastors, a member of the religion faculty, and youth and family ministers. This usually follows the internship in the fall of the senior year. Retaking the "Self Portrait," an essay, an assessment of the internship, and an interview are required. This step is very important for recommending the students for employment.

The College's commitment to the liberal arts is highly compatible with education for professional social work practice. The liberal arts foundation, with its emphasis on breadth of understanding, cultural and ethnic diversity, openness to new ideas, and analysis and synthesis, is ideal for social work education. Augsburg College's motto, "Education for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of the Department of Social Work. Unique learning opportunities for field work placement and cultural enrichment are provided by a metropolitan setting known for a humane quality of life that is enhanced by the arts, outstanding human services, and a highly-educated populace. The Twin Cities, as the hub for these services, provides both a variety of field placements for social work students and external experts for the classroom. The ethnic and economic diversity present in this metropolitan area provides opportunities for social work students to learn to understand, appreciate, respect, and work with people different from themselves and to be enriched by this opportunity to interact with diverse clients and professionals. The social welfare minor and electives in the department allow students from other majors to gain knowledge about human needs and growth, human s e ~ c e s , and the methods of effective citizenship.

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

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

We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Discovering Your Gifts and Talents The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg’s prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Selection from over 50 Majors Augsburg offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). This five-college consortium allows day program students to take courses on other campuses without charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Weekend College offers 18 majors and a number of certificate programs. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: “Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.” History A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were 7 enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. Early Leaders Establish a Direction August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 130 years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.” In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The Focus Changed This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr., became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen. The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. 8 A College in the City Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980) Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all ages — in the midst of a great city — to be faithful citizens of the world. Augsburg Today Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; • Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers master’s degree programs in business, education, leadership, nursing, physician assistant studies, and social work. The College’s first doctoral program, in nursing practice, has been approved. For information on graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Undergraduate education is offered both on weekday semester programs, and alternate weekend trimester programs. The graduate programs generally follow the trimester schedule. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn. and a center in Bloomington, Minn. Weekend College Augsburg’s Weekend College (WEC) provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a baccalaureate degree and work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional studies. 9 Weekend College began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. Eight courses were offered in the first term. Today, with approximately 1,000 students enrolled each term and a variety of majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, WEC is one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges. The Adult Learner Augsburg’s Weekend College is based on the assumption that adult students are mature, self-disciplined, and motivated learners who seek a combination of classroom experience and individual study. Each course includes periods of concentrated, on-campus study as well as time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To meet the needs of nontraditional students, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three-and-a-half to four hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. WEC students may take from one to four courses each term. The WEC academic year is divided into three trimesters (fall, winter, and spring), so that students may complete three terms in the traditional nine-month academic year. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages WEC students to make use of College facilities, such as Lindell Library, and to participate in academic and co-curricular activities, such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, student organizations, fine arts events, networking events, workshops, and convocations. The WEC student body elects its own leaders through the WEC Student Senate. Augsburg for Adults Through the Augsburg for Adults program office, Augsburg continues its tradition of innovation to meet the needs of adult students by creating new programs, providing faculty and staff development in adult learning, and serving adult and non-traditional students. Students are recognized as adult learners from age 25 to 60-plus whether they take courses in the traditional day program, the Weekend College program, or any of the graduate programs. To learn more about graduate studies at Augsburg, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Weekend College Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and the WEC faculty are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct faculty who bring professional experience to their teaching. Most faculty hold a doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activities at the College. Professors are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Weekend College’s small classes facilitate the College’s tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. 10 Rochester campus Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. In Rochester, six undergraduate majors, plus a certificate program in business management, are offered. The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city which is home to about 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a trimester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings and on occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. In addition to the half- dozen degree programs that can be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the Day or WEC program in Minneapolis. Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software. Information about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/Rochester or by calling the Rochester office at 507-288-2886. College of the Third Age Augsburg demonstrates its commitment to lifelong learning in part through its College of the Third Age. College of the Third Age is a teaching-learning service founded more than 30 years ago to serve older adults by encouraging lifelong learning, fostering interactive discussion, and introducing new topics and subjects related to an ever-changing world. A roster of more than 25 retired, semiretired, and working professors teach non-credit seminars for the program, based upon their areas of expertise. College of the Third Age partners with organizations and facilities that serve older adults in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, including churches, synagogues, community centers, and senior residences. The current catalog lists more than 200 classes available for group study at partner organizations and facilities.

Selection of students for Augsburg College is based upon careful consideration of each candidate’s academic achievement, personal qualities and interests, participation in activities and employment, and potential for development as a student and as a graduate of Augsburg College. Visit the Campus Because firsthand appraisal of programs, facilities, and academic atmosphere is valuable, firstyear and transfer applicants are encouraged to visit the campus and meet with an admissions counselor. Arrangements may be made to meet with a member of the faculty and to attend classes when school is in session. Augsburg’s undergraduate admissions staff is ready to help students and families with college planning. Call any weekday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.—612-330-1001 or toll-free 1-800-7885678, and we’ll assist with your questions and arrange a tour for you.

Students may apply online for free at www.augsburg.edu/day/apply.html or www.commonapp.org. Transcripts—An official transcript from the high school is required of first-year applicants. Firstyear applicants who are still high school students at the time of application should have their most recent transcript sent, followed by a final, official transcript upon graduation. If the student has taken college courses, an official transcript from the institutions should also be sent. General Education Development (GED) scores may be presented instead of the high school transcript. Test Scores—First-year applicants are required to submit results from a college entrance examination. The American College Test (ACT) is preferred; results from SAT are also accepted. Test scores recorded on the official high school transcript are sufficient. Augsburg strongly recommends completing the writing portion of either the ACT or SAT.

If the applicant has been out of school for several years, a letter may be submitted by a supervisor, employer, pastor, or co-worker. Additional Information—If there is personal information that may have affected the applicant’s previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed personally with an admissions counselor. On occasion, the Admissions Committee may defer a decision on a candidate’s admission until other information has been received. For example, more recent test scores, results of the present 16 semester’s coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested by the committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will inform the candidate. Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a “rolling” admissions plan. The first offers of admission are made in late September. After that, students are notified of the admissions decision usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by the Admissions Committee.

Returning students do not pay the application fee. Special Students (Non-Degree) In some circumstances, people may be admitted as special students (non-degree) and granted the privilege of enrolling in courses for credit. Students may request a change in their degree status by contacting the Registrar’s Office. Students regularly enrolled at another college may take coursework at Augsburg College as a special student (non-degree). An application form for special-student status is available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. To apply for admission as a special student, submit the completed admission application and academic transcripts to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a baccalaureate degree has been awarded. Special Students (Second Degree) Students who have completed a four-year degree at an accredited college or university may complete a second degree at Augsburg College. Second degree requirements include: a minimum of eight course credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and completion of any liberal arts requirements not covered by a previous degree. Depending on the student’s previous degree, completion of a second major (non-degree) may also be an option. International Students International students are a vital part of the Augsburg community. (See International Student Advising on page 32.) International students should contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for an international student application and financial requirements.

WES is a nonprofit organization with more than 30 years experience evaluating international credentials. WES will examine your transcript(s) and prepare a report that will help Augsburg College understand how your international course work compares to courses and grades in the United States. Augsburg College will use this information in its admissions review and will grant transfer credit where appropriate. World Education Services, Inc.

The College raises that difference in gifts—from alumni, faculty, staff, parents, churches, friends, foundations, and endowment income. However, the primary responsibility for paying for a college education rests on students and their families. Financial aid is intended to supplement those resources.

There is a 22 $20 per term fee associated with this payment option. The student is responsible for payment of the balance should the employer not reimburse for any reason. If the employer offers partial reimbursement, the non-reimbursed portion of tuition and fees must be paid in full at the start of the term. (3) Students may also defer payment by enrolling in the College’s third party payment plan or in a military payment plan if their term costs are to be covered by a third party or through V.A. education benefits, such as the G.I.

Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student accounts are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been completed. Refunds Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid may be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop course(s) and receive financial assistance. Students who wish to withdraw from Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal from College form available online through the registrar’s website. It must be filled out completely, signed and turned in to the Enrollment Center. Students who properly withdraw or change to part-time, who are dismissed, or who are released from a housing contract will have their accounts adjusted for tuition and/or room (except for the minimum deduction of $100 to cover administrative costs) in accordance with the terms of their housing contract and/or the appropriate tuition refund schedule. Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center (or online) in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/ add form is processed. The Augsburg College Refund Policy for Day, Weekend, Rochester, Bloomington, and Graduate Studies Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the refund schedule below. This refund is based on the percentage of calendar time remaining on the date of the student’s offiicial withdrawel from classes. This applies to all students who drop one or more courses during the term and/or withdraw from all courses in the term. Percentage of calendar time remaining after official drop or withdrawal: 100% to 90% remaining Full refund (minus $100 administrative fee) 89% to 60% remaining 50% Amount of refund: This refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Please allow 30 23 to 45 days for tuition and possible financial aid adjustments to be finalized. If a credit balance remains on the student’s account, a credit refund will be issued at that time. The refund of charges calculation used is the Augsburg College Refund Policy stated above. Students may appeal refund decisions through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available online through the registrar’s website. Medical refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, the refund will include the normal refund percentage (based on the regular refund schedule), plus one-half of the remaining tuition and fees. This extra medical refund will be considered upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Requests for medical refunds should be made through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the registrar’s website. Unofficial Withdrawal Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g. unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are available online through the registrar’s website. A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively. The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include, but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and charges for the term dropped. The administrative cancellation fee is $300. Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage www.augsburg.edu/finaid/sap.html. Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. Proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Enrollment Center, will help students and their families protect access to a quality Augsburg education in a time of increasing financial challenge. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholar-ships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2010-2011 academic year, more than 24 eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), current tax documents, and the Augsburg Aid form help determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. How to Apply The following are required to process your financial aid application: 1. Be admitted to Augsburg as a regular student or be a returning student in good academic standing with the College. 2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA. Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA electronically online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students and their parents may sign the FAFSA electronically using a PIN issued by the U.S. Department of Education. Instructions for requesting a PIN can be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Be sure to include the Augsburg College code, 002334, on your application. Submit your application to the processing agency after January 1. Applications must be filed by March 1 for priority consideration. 3. Complete the current year Augsburg Aid form, available at www.augsburg.edu/finaid, and submit it to the Enrollment Center. 4. Submit copies of federal 1040 tax forms for the preceding year (e.g. tax year 2010 to be considered for financial aid for 2011-2012). Tax forms are required for the student and parents of dependent students, or spouse of student if filing separately. What Happens Next? Once all documents are received, we review the financial aid application to determine financial aid eligibility for all available programs. A financial aid award letter will be sent to the student. This letter details the financial aid award and includes information regarding: • institutional financial aid programs and requirements for continued eligibility, • federal and private loan programs (students must complete a loan application to receive loan funds). Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). The various forms of aid available are listed here for information only. In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students who meet their requirements.

The number of hours a student can work is dependent on the position and the needs of the department. All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee. Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program—Under these programs the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College to provide part-time work opportunities. 28 Student Life Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening or weekend, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. Campus Ministry As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts, and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty, and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. Weekend College Chapel is held each Saturday morning when classes meet. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The college pastor, associate college pastor, and campus ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Vocation Augsburg College has a deep and longstanding commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely valuable. In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called Exploring Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith, learning, service, and work. Over the years, the program has helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a wide variety of short term projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning. These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, offcampus service projects, international seminars, vocationthemed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or church leadership. Because Exploring Our Gifts will end in the summer 2010, the College recently created a permanent 29 center—the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning—that will keep vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision well into the future. This new center will continue many of the current initiatives and will carry on the work of promoting discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students, faculty, and staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community. For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit the Lilly Resource Center, Memorial Hall, room 231, or the Augsburg Center for Faith and Learning, Oren Gateway Center, room 106. Student Government The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Weekend College Student Government organizations support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official student governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg College. Campus Activities and Orientation Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education. CAO is made up of five program areas. These include: Campus Activities CAO offers programs and activities designed to connect and engage students with the Augsburg community and with the broader Twin Cities community. Lesbian, Bi-sexual, Gay, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Asexual (LBGTQIA) Services LBGTQIA Services works to improve the campus environment for all students, staff, faculty, and visitors at Augsburg College by developing and supporting inclusive understandings of gender and sexuality, as well as fostering a community that honors and affirms the wholeness of all identities. Student and Group Leadership Development Programs include Student Group Development and the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). CAO advises student groups and provides skillbuilding workshops focusing on recruiting members, event planning, facilitating meetings, conflict resolution and other areas of development. ELP is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg. Emerging leaders learn skills necessary to be effective in leadership roles through intentional learning opportunities and relationships with upper class mentors. Orientation Programs Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) is a required twoday, overnight orientation experience for incoming firstyear day students which is designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; obtain fall semester schedules; and get a taste of life on campus. Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of firstyear day students that runs concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents will obtain important 30 information about the campus, meet fellow parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their students on campus. TRANSFERmation is a required halfday orientation experience for transfer students in the day program designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will learn about college resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding. Auggie Days is a required oncampus orientation experience for incoming firstyear day students that is designed to complement SOAR. It provides opportunities to enhance academic and personal success and offers a helpful advantage in starting at Augsburg College. Student Center The Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse populations of residential, commuter, Weekend College, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and cocurricular programs and activities. The Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions, Campus Activities and Orientation, Event and Conference Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.

(See Fitness Centers on page 32.) Gage Center for Academic Achievement The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and beyond. The center consists of five collaborating units: Academic Advising Academic Advising orients new Day and Weekend College undergraduate students to the academic policies and procedures of the College and assists students on initial course selection. This office continues to serve students throughout their tenure at Augsburg by providing interpretation of core curriculum requirements, administering entrylevel skills assessments, interpreting graduation requirements, providing degreeplanning materials, and answering questions on student academic progress. Academic Advising functions as a supplement to Augsburg’s faculty advising system and supports the work of professional staff advisors across campus. The Academic Advising office is located in the Enrollment Center. All current students are assigned to a faculty advisor. Prior to the end of their sophomore year, when they have completed 12 or more credits, students are required to declare a major and select a faculty advisor. Majors and minors are declared online through Augnet Records and Registration. Students select a faculty advisor from their major area of study using the Change of Major/New Advisor Form. All Day students are required to meet with their assigned faculty advisor(s) each term prior to registration. Both Day and weekend college students are encouraged to meet with their faculty 32 advisor(s) as often as is necessary. Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Adaptive Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attentional, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain full access to the College curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences. Each term disability specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include: • Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, notetaking) • Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, general technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) • Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Computer Laboratory • Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills CLASS specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisers, and other members of the College faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of those opportunities, however, remains the student’s responsibility. These services are available to any Augsburg student who establishes eligibility by submitting appropriate documentation to the CLASS office. A copy of the Guidelines for Documentation of a Disability can be obtained by contacting the CLASS Office. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learningrelated disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. These services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation. Academic Skills Office (ASO) The Academic Skills Office provides comprehensive academic support (e.g. time management, notetaking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination) for all Augsburg students through individual and group appointments. In addition, the Academic Skills Coaches address affective needs and aid with the transition to college. Coaches also refer students to campus resources. The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students: • Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services: ASO coordinates free tutoring for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific courses. Tutors and SI Leaders receive a professor recommendation and are trained by the ASO. • Conditional Admit Program (CAP): A limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. Students must fulfill CAP requirements or they will be continued in the CAP program or dismissed. See the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal” section of the catalog for a description of dismissal procedures. • Probation Advising: Students placed or continued on academic probation are required to meet with an approved academic advocate. Registration is prevented until the student completes the probation requirements as specified by their academic advocate. Students who do not meet with their academic advocate and/or do not fulfill the probation requirements will 33 be continued on probation and/or dismissed. For more information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills/. See the “Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal” section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures. • Augsburg Advantage at St. Kates (AASK): Based on their application for admission to Augsburg, the Augsburg College Admissions Committee selects students for the AASK program. The AASK program is a collaborative effort between St. Catherine University (St. Kate’s) and Augsburg. The program assists students with the transition from high school to college with specific courses and supportive programming. The program provides participants with the opportunity to complete similar coursework that first year students complete at Augsburg. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis campus of St. Catherine University and have access to both campuses for support, resources, and activities.

The Augsburg Asian Student Association is affiliated with the program. The association organizes various activities during the academic year to increase the network of friendship and support for Asians, other students at Augsburg, and the surrounding community. Pan-Afrikan Student Services The PanAfrikan Center (PAC) traces its roots to an event held in 1968 called “One Day in May” when Augsburg hosted a series of interactive programs with the community. As a result, Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved, over the years, into the PAC. PAC serves the Augsburg College community by providing culturally conscious personal, academic, financial, preprofessional and transitional support for students of Afrikan descent.

Residence Life Program Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library, classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name. 40 Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher grade point average. Department of Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in their academic and cocurricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities. Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or issues. Resident students have access to a 24hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24hour security, laundry facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with hook ups for telephone, cable television, computers, and internet access.

College Policies Student Standards of Behavior, Complaints, Records The College has adopted a statement of standards for student behavior and has provided for due process in matters of academic honesty, disciplinary action, and grievances. These are in the Student Guide. The College operates in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Students have the right to inspect certain official records, files, and data that pertain to them and that are maintained in the registrar’s office and the placement office, and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Information on these policies is found in the Student Guide available on the website at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Official Notices Students will receive official notices via the student campus mail system (student campus box), the AMail publication, and the student’s Augsburg email account. Students should check their campus mailbox and their student email account regularly. The AMail is a daily online publication on Inside Augsburg. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg’s policy is published in this catalog on page 62 and in the Student Guide distributed annually to students. Augsburg College understands that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student, except in limited circumstances. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. 42 Complete information about Augsburg’s procedures with regard to FERPA are available from the Office of the Registrar. Discrimination Complaints For inquiries or grievances in any of the following areas, contact the director of human resources, ground floor, Memorial Hall 19, 6123301023. Affirmative Action—for matters based on race, creed, national, or ethnic origin Section 504—for matters based on physical or mental handicap Title IX—for matters based on gender or marital status Employment—All correspondence should be addressed to the Office of Human Resources at Augsburg College, 2211 Riverside Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55454. 43 Academic Information Augsburg College constructs its curriculum upon the premise that students must be educated intellectually, spiritually, and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required Search for Meaning courses are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce them to other faith traditions, and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students opportunities to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of music, and the bachelor of science degrees. Augsburg also offers the master of arts (in leadership, nursing, and education), the master of business administration, the master of science (in physician assistant studies), the master of social work, and the doctor of nursing practice degrees. Academic Calendar The Augsburg day program follows the semester calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks. Fulltime students normally take four course credits each semester. The day program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students can take a course on another campus during the regular term.** Weekend College classes typically meet on alternate weekends and the program follows a trimester calendar. Some classes may meet weekly on weekday evenings. The fall trimester is held from early September through midDecember. Winter trimester meets from January through late March. Spring classes are held from early April through the end of June. There are 78 class sessions each trimester, and classes meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours. (Refer to the program schedule for weekday evening meeting times.) Students may take from one to four classes each term.** The Rochester campus operates on a trimester calendar. Classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. Similar to Weekend College, Rochester’s fall trimester begins in September, winter trimester begins in January, and spring trimester begins in April. There are 78 class sessions each trimester with each class meeting for 31/2 to 4 hours. Students may take one to four classes each term.** **See Registration under the Academic Policies and Procedures section and Calendars under Academic Calendars Courses and majors offered through Weekend College and the Rochester campus are the same 44 as their Day College counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Augsburg offers two summer school sessions, plus two summer online options. Select graduate level courses may be made available in a separate summer term. The summer session schedule is available in March of each year. Augsburg graduate programs follow a trimester calendar, except for physician assistant studies. (See Graduate Programs Section.) Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Every firstyear is assigned an Augsburg Seminar adviser and, later, chooses a major adviser. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. Library and Information Technology Services The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The fourlevel, 73,000squarefoot facility houses all library and information technology functions of the College. In addition to the 190,000 volume main collection, the Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, curriculum library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall. Learning Commons Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual projects. Library Resources Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 190,000 volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A serviceoriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Information Technology Resources Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with the best access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, www.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for more on Information Technology at Augsburg. Computing 45 Students have access to more than 250 oncampus computers. There are both PC and Macintosh desktop computers available in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab and in the 24hour Urness computer lab. The College has six computer classrooms and 41 technology enhanced classrooms. The circulation desk in the Lindell Library has 40 wireless laptops available for use in the Library. Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A highspeed fiber optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the Internet and Internet2. Networkready student machines can connect to the campus network from dormitory rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services and several of the registrar’s student services are available securely on and offcampus. Academic Organization and Programs Divisions and Departments The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes. Fine Arts and Humanities—American Indian studies, art, communication studies, English, history, languages and crosscultural studies, music, philosophy, religion, theatre arts, College librarians. Natural and Social Sciences—Biology, chemistry, computer science, economics, mathematics, physics, political science, psychology, sociology. Professional Studies—Business administration, education, health and physical education, nursing, social work. Majors and Minors Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Some students decide on a major or majors before they enter college. Others explore a variety of disciplines before deciding. A major at Augsburg shall require no more than 13.0 credits from any one academic department. The Academic Affairs Committee may amend this credit maximum in support of industry or professional accreditation standards. Students may complete nonrequired electives within the department beyond the 13.0 credit limit. The College requires students to declare a major by the end of the sophomore year, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the course description section. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the bachelor of arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation; however, minors completed prior to graduation will be listed on the transcript. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a bachelor’s degree has been awarded. Student-Designed Major Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisers from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A studentdesigned major allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisers, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program 46 design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the studentdesigned major in concert with three faculty advisers from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisers must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisers’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a studentdesigned major program proposal that includes: a. A statement of learning goals and objectives. b. A list of proposed courses (minimum of nine, no more than one of which is a lower level language course and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Strommen Career and Internship Center for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled. c. A description of the studentdesigned major capstone to be taken sometime during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisers. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisers must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the studentdesigned major program by all advisers presumes their approval of the capstone course. 3. Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the dean’s office. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisers regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved studentdesigned major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with adviser approval. ACTC Majors—It is possible for fulltime day students to complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major or Minor Declaration Form to the Augsburg registrar’s office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the ACTC school adviser. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance determined by the major department. Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Other Study Programs Teaching Licensure 47 Several teaching licensure programs are offered at Augsburg. Licensure is available in kindergartenelementary or K6 license. A middle school endorsement is available in one of the following: mathematics, science, communication arts/literature, social studies. A preprimary endorsement (3 to 5yearolds) is also available. Licensure is also available in the following middle school/high school fields: life sciences, chemistry, communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, physics, and social studies. This license prepares people to teach in grades 512. Students seeking licensure in one of these areas obtain an appropriate subject area major and complete secondary licensure coursework. Specialist licenses are available in art (K12), vocal music and instrumental music (K12), and physical education (K12). The licenses prepare people to teach in grades K 12. Students seeking licensure in one of these areas also obtain the appropriate subject area major and complete the secondary licensure coursework. (See Department of Education and subject area departments for more information.) K12 special education majors and licenses in Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities and in Learning Disabilities are also available. These majors and licenses are offered only through Weekend College. Students seeking elementary licensure and special education licensure have education department advisers. Students seeking 512 and K12 licensure have advisers in their subject area major and in the education department. It is very important that students work closely with their advisers throughout their programs. Certificate Programs Augsburg offers undergraduate certificates through the departments of Art and Business Administration (see departments and programs section). Certificates are available to nondegree seeking students or students who are completing a degree from a different academic department. A student may declare degree seeking status after earning a certificate. Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, pharmacy, or engineering can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg. It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty adviser is available in each field to assist students in their planning. Students who want to plan a preprofessional program should contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year to arrange for faculty advising. Pre-Dentistry—These courses are recommended to fulfill the minimum requirements of the School of Dentistry at the University of Minnesota: ENL 111, 220; BIO 151, 152, 253, 369; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351, 352; MAT 114 or 163; PHY 121, 122; PSY 105.

Prelaw students should major in a discipline of their own choosing; most law school entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable LSAT score. Pre-Medicine—A major in chemistry and biology is not required in order to apply to medical schools, but many students with an interest in the health sciences choose to major in these fields. The competitive candidate typically has substantially more training than the minimal course requirements. Students should review requirements and recommended courses of each program being considered 48 for application and consult early and frequently with a prehealth science adviser. Coursework that is required by most medical schools includes: one to two semesters of English composition such as ENL 111, 220; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106); CHM 351, 352; BIO 151, 152, 253, 369; MAT 145, 146, 163; PHY 121, 122. Courses recommended in preparation for MCATs: BIO 355, 473, 476; CHM 361. Pre-Occupational Therapy, Pre-Physician Assistant, and Pre-Physical Therapy— Coursework in preparation for these programs should be discussed with a faculty member in the Department of Biology. Pre-Pharmacy—Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL 111, 220; MAT 145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in Behavioral Sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121.

The Center for Faith and Learning (Memorial 231) provides resources and support, including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary. Pre-Veterinary Medicine—To meet minimum requirements of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Minnesota, the following courses are required: ENL 111, 220; MAT 114 or 145; BIO 151, 152, 253, 355, 369, 476; CHM 115, 116 (or 105, 106), 351, 352; PHY 121, 122. Additional liberal arts courses are required. Requirements at other universities may vary. Honors Program The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theatre, and art performances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so you can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact Robert C. Groven, Honors Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Also see the Honors Program in the departments and programs section. Inter-Institutional Programs Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC)—Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to over 2,500,000 volumes and media resources of the fourteen libraries. Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)—Fulltime day students at Augsburg and the 49 St. Paul colleges and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which a student has crossregistered is kept in the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not the host ACTC institution. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students between the campuses. Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)—Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers offcampus study semesters in Norway, Northern Ireland, Ecuador and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs on page 163.) McNally Smith College of Music—Augsburg College fulltime students may elect to take one course each semester at McNally Smith College of Music providing that they meet all McNally Smith College of Music requirements. This program is open to sophomores through seniors. There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their advisor to confirm if the classes will count toward graduation requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be used as a substitute for any Augsburg course specifically listed within a degree program. Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg–McNally Smith exchange are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which a student has registered for through the exchange is kept in the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not McNally Smith. Air Force ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under the ACTC consortium agreement. Students are eligible to compete for two and threeyear AFROTC scholarships. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar, or call the University of St. Thomas at 6519626320 or 18003286819, x6320. Army ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar. Augsburg Abroad Augsburg Abroad is the front door for students and faculty interested in study abroad. Services include: • Study abroad program selection advising • Financial and academic advising for study abroad • Registration and billing for study abroad • Predeparture and reentry support (application, orientation, etc.) • Facultyled, shortterm program coordination About half of Augsburg undergraduate students are studying abroad. Graduate students also find shortterm programs as part of their curriculum. Students abroad will find themselves in a variety of locales and studying a variety of disciplines: studying gender issues in Central America; acting 50 with masks in Norway; interning with community organizations in Northern Ireland; studying political science in Namibia; learning about ecology in Tanzania; taking organic chemistry in New Zealand; and learning a language where it is spoken. Academic Requirements and Credit Students fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on approved programs. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor, language, liberal arts foundation, lifetime activity, and internship requirements. This is determined prior to departure when students fill out the required Course Approval Form that is signed by academic advisers and appropriate staff and faculty approving courses. Students should be aware of the following policies related to study abroad: • Students can study abroad more than once. • Students can study abroad at any point in their academic career. Semester and Summer Programs • Courses taken on offcampus programs during the senior year will meet the Augsburg residency requirement. • Students must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs. • Students must take courses AF while abroad. • Grades received on affiliated and nonAugsburg programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and thus are not figured into your GPA. • A “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg. Faculty-led Short-term Programs • Students must register for all courses required by the shortterm program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Augsburg Abroad Office. Any courses removed by the student without Augsburg Abroad permission prior to the start of the program will be readded to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded. • Overload Fee Exemption for facultyled January and Spring Weekend College (WEC) programs: January and spring WEC facultyled programs are placed within the spring semester. However, fulltime Day students will not be billed an overload fee if an additional 4.0 or 4.5 credits are taken in the regular spring term. A student taking minimal credits in the spring can use the January or Spring WEC facultyled shortterm program as a spring term course in order to be considered parttime or fulltime. • Crossover Policy Exemption: The crossover policy does not apply to study abroad students. WEC students who do a study abroad program placed in the Day program do not count that as their crossover course. The same policy exemption is valid for Day students doing a study abroad program scheduled in a WEC term. Eligibility and Application The following are Augsburg College’s requirements for study abroad: • Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with Augsburg Abroad. • Be at sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you study abroad. Shortterm, facultyled programs will allow participation as a firstyear if the student receives approval from 51 the facultyleader. • Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus. • Not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to study abroad may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all nonrecoverable program costs incurred. • Not have an outstanding balance on student account. • Be aware that students applying to facultyled programs, who meet the above criteria, are accepted on a rolling basis; space is limited on these programs so applying early is important. Application deadlines for semester programs are: October 1: Spring semester study abroad and winterbreak facultyled programs November 1: Springbreak facultyled programs February 1: Spring WEC term and Summer Session facultyled programs March 1: Fall semester and nonfaculty led summer study abroad programs Program provider deadlines vary; students need to meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by program providers. Students should start planning in their first year for study abroad to be sure to do appropriate research and meet all deadlines. Students are accepted to study on facultyled programs on a first applied, first accepted basis. ACCESS/CLASS Abroad Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to universitysponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. Students are encouraged to work closely with Augsburg Abroad/CLASS/ACCESS. Students are responsible for requesting accommodations abroad within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection. Augsburg Abroad will work closely with the student, CLASS, and /or ACCESS offices to determine needs and make appropriate and possible accommodations abroad. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of study abroad is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad fees. These costs vary from program to program. Augsburg College pays the program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for study abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying abroad. Students who receive financial aid, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to cover their study abroad program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally funded aid (e.g., Presidential, Regents, Legacy, Promise and other Augsburg scholarships, and tuition remission benefit) may use their scholarships to study abroad multiple times on Augsburg Programs (see below in Study Abroad Program section). However, institutionallyfunded aid may be used only once toward study abroad costs on an affiliate or nonAugsburg program. Cost estimates for the time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to 52 students studying abroad. Students are required to notify Augsburg Abroad immediately if they choose not to continue with their study abroad experience. At the moment of notification nonrecoverable costs will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal students may owe nothing, the study abroad fee, the deposit, or some, or all, of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of Augsburg Abroad and their program provider. Study Abroad Programs Students have over 200 programs in over 90 countries from which to choose. In addition to the below Augsburg College programs, students can choose from affiliated program providers. These programs have been reviewed to meet the Augsburg Experience requirement, diverse needs of students, and provide quality student service. The programs are reviewed each year. If students cannot find a program that meets their needs from the Augsburg College or Augsburg affiliated options then they can apply to do a nonAugsburg program. Students with a strong academic or financial reason, faculty support (as shown on the Course Approval Form), and who choose a good quality program, may be approved. The Center for Global Education The mission of the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College is to provide crosscultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading to a more just and sustainable world. The center’s study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with other students in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting, and several weeks living with host families. In the Mexico and Namibia programs, students travel together on twoweek seminars — from Mexico to Central America, and from Namibia to South Africa. The cost of these programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for one semester on campus, plus airfare. (Some scholarships are available for Augsburg students.) Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica (Mexico)—Fall This program is an experientiallybased intensive semester of study and travel designed to introduce students to the important issues facing Mexico, U.S.Mexico relations, and the context in which many Mexicans are immigrating to the United States. Students will improve Spanish language skills, as well as develop intercultural communication skills. Students will learn about key social, economic, political, and cultural issues in Mexico, as well as explore the interconnectedness of race, ethnicity, class, and gender, sexuality, and religion. Students will learn firsthand from diverse women and men involved in struggles for social change, as well as business leaders, religious leaders, and feminist activists and scholars, government representatives, politicians, and political activists. Spanish courses range from beginning to advanced, including courses for bilingual students.The program includes rural travel within Mexico and 45 day seminar in Mexico City. Students stay in the Augsburg study center for part of the semester and with Mexican host families for four to six weeks, although semesterlong homestays are available for Spanish majors and others upon request. Although students may select courses from several different disciplines, they may meet several AugCore requirements while in Mexico and/or take courses in the following 4 concentrations: 1) Business, 2) Religion, 3) Spanish, and 4) Women’s Studies. Nation-Building, Globalization, and Decolonizing the Mind: Southern African Perspectives (Namibia)— 53 Fall or Spring This program examines the crucial issues of nationbuilding, globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the perspectives of the new democracies of southern Africa. Namibia won its independence in 1990 after decades of apartheid under South African colonization. South Africa had its first democratic election in 1994. As these nations struggle to build nationhood and deal with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges posed by today’s world: rapid globalization and under and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a longterm project. Credit is available in history, religion, political science, and interdisciplinary studies. Internships are also available. Social Change in Central America: Exploring Peace, Justice and Community Engagement (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua)—Fall or Spring This is an intensive semester of study and travel designed to introduce students to the key issues facing Central Americans.

For exchange programs in China and Slovenia, contact Augsburg Abroad. 54 Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) Augsburg, in consortium with other colleges and universities, offers full semester programs in Norway, East and Central Europe, Ecuador, Northern Ireland, and the Twin Cities. All HECUA programs explore civic engagement, community, and social change, and emphasize internships and field study. For more information on international HECUA programs, see the listings under International Studies; and for HECUA programs in the Twin Cities, see Interdisciplinary Studies. Scandinavian Urban Studies Term: Norway—Fall A quarter of Oslo’s residents are not ethnic Norwegians. Students investigate changing Northern Europe using Norway’s welfare state and Scandinavian national identity as case studies. Coursework and an internship provide unique perspectives on how the Norwegian social democracy and Scandinavian welfare states are working to address the challenges posed by immigration and cultural and ethnic diversity. Students choose an independent study project or Norwegian language courses. Divided States of Europe—Spring Ten former communist nationstates have recently joined the European Union. From three different locations – Norway, Romania, and Hungary – students examine the complex dynamics of European integration via issues such as labor migration, minority politics, rightwing populism, prostitution, and human trafficking. Together, Hungary and Romania encompass some of Europe’s most pressing social justice issues and constitute its primary geographic and cultural bridge between East and West. Community Internships in Latin America: Ecuador—Fall and Spring This interdisciplinary program, based in Quito, Ecuador, enables the student to combine intense involvement in a communitybased organization with study of the community development process. A homestay and a handson internship develop Spanish and other skills. The program addresses globalization, the environment, oil politics, and other local and international issues. Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Spring The Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change program examines the historical, political, and religious roots of conflict in Northern Ireland, the prospects for peace, and the progress being made. Through a sevenweek internship, students get handson experience with organizations working for social change. Field seminars focus on human rights, conflict transformation, and education for democracy. The program is located at the UNESCO Centre at the University of Ulster in Coleraine. Student Teaching Abroad Selected education department students may participate in the International Student Teaching Abroad program coordinated through the University of MinnesotaMorris. Students who teach abroad will also do part of their student teaching under direct Augsburg faculty supervision. For additional information, contact the Department of Education student teacher director. May/Summer Abroad May and summer courses to many parts of the world enable students to earn credit through short term travel. Contact Augsburg Abroad for the most current list of programs. 55 Clair and Gladys Strommen Career and Internship Center The Strommen Career and Internship Center is a comprehensive resource center emphasizing the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development and the exploration of vocation throughout their college years. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth and depth to the curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic and career decisions. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for life, meaningful work, and active citizenship. Career Services Career Services provides opportunities, programs, and career counseling to help students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career paths, and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s development while attending college. To aid in this process, professional career staff provide career assessments and individualized career planning and coaching. Staff also assist students with choosing majors, locating internships, preparing for internship and job searches, graduate school applications, and making connections to community, business, and alumni resources. Internships Academic Credit An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work or servicebased learning experience where a student focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic related objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students do internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, schools and churches. Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during a Day program semester, Weekend College trimester or summer sessions. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and Grading on page 58. Internships can be registered for 1 course credit or .5 credit. One course credit involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 10 hours per week or 140 total hours. Internships for .5 credit require a minimum of 80 total hours. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Internships completed offcampus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Non-Credit and Transcript Notation Notforcredit internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zerocredit transcript notation (GST009). The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting and reflect on the experience. Work opportunities typically are parttime during the academic year and/or full time during summer and can begin and end anytime. Students set learning goals and evaluate their experience. The director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center supervises noncredit internships and transcript notation work experiences. Internships not for credit and transcript notations may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement by completing a WorkConnections reflection process. 56 Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community Servicelearning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through courseembedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of communityservicelearning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with servicelearning experiences in the City, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between students and their community. Servicelearning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of community servicelearning sites include: homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring programs and literacy centers. Campus Kitchen Project and Community Garden The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger community by using food as a tool to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through servicelearning. To accomplish these goals, three separate programs exist: 1) FOOD TO SHARE—Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated and served by student volunteers to neighborhood partners including: homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. 2) FOOD TO GROW—On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of 70 individual plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food. 3) FOOD TO BUY—A farmer’s market and CSA delivery is available weekly at Augsburg College and the Brian Coyle Community Center in order to increase access to healthy foods. Surplus produce from the market and CSA shares are donated to the Campus Kitchen meal delivery program. Bonner Leader Program In November of 20082009, Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders program, funded through the National Bonner Foundation. Through the Bonner program at Augsburg, students develop deep community relationships and engage in longterm policy advocacy throughout their four years at Augsburg College. Those selected to be a part of the Augsburg College Bonner Leaders program were largely firstyear students, with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds, and unique experience with communityleadership roles. Through service placements with partner nonprofit community organizations, students worked an average of 200 hours over the course of the academic year in placements supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, helping coordinate a lowincome housing program, providing community health outreach, and working with a financial literacy program. Beyond their workstudy service, students participated in at least 100 volunteer hours with various community initiatives and civic engagement projects on campus. Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders program, students engaged in monthly guided reflections and leadership development training. The Augsburg Bonner Community Leaders program 57 is a successful campus model to build on the college’s culture of community and civic engagement and bring together existing community service programs to take us to the next level of deepening knowledge, reflection, and authenticity of civic engagement in the community. Augsburg Reads The Augsburg Reads Program is a federally funded literacy and tutoring program focused on elementary student achievement. Augsburg Reads pairs college students with community organizations in the CedarRiverside neighborhood focused on student achievement through after school programs. Graduate Programs Augsburg College offers seven graduate degree programs: Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Doctorate in Nursing Practice, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of Social Work. Consult the Augsburg Graduate Studies catalog for complete information. The Master of Arts in Education offers initial licensure coursework at the graduate level in elementary education, secondary education, and special education: E/BD and LD. The MAE also offers the preprimary specialty and the K12 Reading Teacher endorsement. Students are able to take up to six licensure courses at the graduate level and complete their licensure programs with a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Students can then apply their graduate level licensure courses to complete a master’s degree program. Students will complete their master’s degrees through a combination of Master of Arts in Leadership coursework and graduate level education coursework. Licensed teachers also can pursue special education: E/BD and/or LD, as well as the K12 Reading Licensure Endorsement and the preprimary endorsement at the graduate level. The program is available through the Weekend College schedule, and the admissions process begins with the Graduate Admissions office. For further information about the programs, contact the Education Department or the Graduate Admissions office. The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This crossdisciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program offers courses primarily on alternate Saturdays. There is also a Monday evening cohort offering of the program at Augsburg’s Bloomington site. (Note: A fiveyear program is available to Augsburg undergraduate accounting majors that would qualify them for CPA certification and fulfill requirements for a BA in accounting and an MA in leadership. See the Department of Business Administration, accounting major section of the catalog for further information.) The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health nursing practice across care settings, with emphasis on addressing health inequities among diverse populations. The program is offered within the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing, or Advanced Nursing Administration through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and/or Advanced Certification in Transcultural Nursing through the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS). Classes meet on a flexible schedule (every other week or once per month) that includes weekdays, weekday evenings, and Saturdays. Webenhanced teaching is used for all classes. Practicums include optional shortterm study abroad experiences. Students may choose 58 to study in Mexico, Guatemala; Namibia; Pine Ridge; S.Dak.; and/or Europe. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in accordance with its accreditation standards and procedures. Streamlined entry into the Master of Arts in Nursing—Students with an ADN and a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing can enter the Master of Arts in Nursing program as a “bridge student.” This process requires acceptance to the MA in Nursing program and completion of three courses in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program. Students in good standing in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program can enter the MA in nursing through an “expedited” process. After provisional acceptance to the MA in Nursing program while still a student in the undergraduate program, students can take three designated courses in the Master of Arts in Nursing, which will be applied to the M.A. at Augsburg upon successful completion of the undergraduate nursing degree. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is designed for registered nurses (RNs) who currently hold a master’s degree in nursing and wish to advance their practice within diverse communities and complex institutions. The program prepares nurses for advanced transcultural nursing in community life, integrating holistic practice modalities that uphold and improve human potential across care settings and care systems. Emphasis is on nursing leadership and system level changes that decrease health inequities and improve health outcomes of persons underserved by the current health system. Short term study abroad and away opportunities are woven throughout the curriculum and students are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities. The DNP program is structured in a cohort model. Students are admitted to the program during the spring and classes begin in the fall term. Classes meet facetoface one day per month and three times during a term. Seminars are scheduled for the mornings following classes. Video conferencing between Minneapolis and Rochester is used for most classes and seminars. The program is structured to be completed in 32 months of parttime study 5 semester credit hours per term. The Master of Business Administration is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge necessary to advance in their careers and accept roles of greater responsibility in an organization. Meeting primarily on one evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 23 months. Organized in cohort format, the program encourages learning in a collaborative smallgroup environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex environments. An intensive management consulting course allows students to apply theory and classroom learning to an actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and organizations provide a laboratory for students as they complete comprehensive projects in various disciplines and functions. The core program can be enhanced through participation in a number of concentrations including finance, healthcare management, international business, social entrepreneurship and marketing management. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies is designed for students interested in careers as healthcare providers. The mission of the program is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of, and is oriented toward providing care to, underserved populations. Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice in primary care medicine. All physician assistants must have a supervising physician to practice. The program is three years long with classes held Monday through Friday during the day. The Master of Social Work, accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the 59 College and supports the College’s mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. There are two concentrations: multicultural clinical practice (MCCP) or program development, policy, and administration (PDPA). Students choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus. The curriculum emphasizes work with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership for social change, and a holistic, strengthsbased, problemsolving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in fourhour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. The multicultural clinical practice concentration prepares students to work with diverse peoples across the full range of contemporary clinical social work practice settings. The program development, policy, and administration concentration prepares students to actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy toward changing policies that obscure and oppress people. Two dual degrees are also available: a Master of Social Work/Master of Theology or Divinity degree (MSW/MA/MDiv) and a Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration degree (MSW/MBA). The MSW/MA/MDiv dual degree is offered in collaboration with Luther Seminary. It is designed to meet the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities. The MSW/MBA dual degree is offered in collaboration with the Augsburg MBA program. It provides students with the skills and expertise necessary to build well managed and financially sound service organizations that serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Other Programs Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg College. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the College and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education, Nursing, Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office of the College Board. Augsburg College is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. Canadian Program The Canadian program was inaugurated in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and faculty activity in Canadian studies. The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness of the importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians through visits and exchanges.

Summer session and graduate program courses are published in separate schedules. Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices: Office of the Registrar—6123301036 Academic Advising—6123301025 Augsburg for Adults—6123301782 Rochester Program—5072882886 Crossover Registration Policy Every Augsburg undergraduate student is admitted to a “home program,” either day, Weekend College, or the Rochester Program. It is expected that students will complete most degree requirements through their home program. However, fulltime students may register for up to 1.0 credits per term outside their home program. Enrollment will be based on class availability. Tuition will be charged at the rate of their home program for courses registered outside their home program. The rate will be based on the maximum credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms. For example, a day program student taking 2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0 credits in the WEC program, will be considered fulltime and will be charged the full time day program tuition rate. A WEC student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program, will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits. Day students taking over 4.5 credits will pay the day parttime rate for any credits over 4.5 in their combined day/WEC load (Spring day term will include both winter WEC and spring WEC). The maximum number of credits that may be included in the day fulltime tuition rate for students who crossregister is 4.5. Students have registration priority in their home programs. Crossover registration dates are 62 published on the registrar’s office webpage. Crossover registration is not available online. The WEC and Rochester programs are not part of the ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC/Rochester students may NOT cross over to attend ACTC courses. Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint BA Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (Day, WEC, or Rochester). Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by filling out a Change of Program form available at the Enrollment Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins. Students registered in spring Day may not do a change of program into spring WEC. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be completed in the Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the Enrollment Center or downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. The last day to file for a Withdrawal from College is the last day of classes prior to finals week. Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar’s office. Students must be readmitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form is available from the Enrollment Center or can be downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address. Leave of Absence Students following the Day calendar (semester) may apply to take a leave of absence for one term. The leave of absence allows continued access to email and AugNet Records and Registration. If a student on a leave of absence does not register for the subsequent semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission form in order to re enroll. The Leave of Absence program is not available to Day students who withdraw from all courses in a term. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. Students must provide a copy of their orders to the registrar. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the registrar will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the 63 withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or work out an “incomplete” agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refund adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the registrar and/or the dean’s office as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee reviews requests for exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the committee considers requests for: • Minor exceptions to academic requirements and/or approval of transfer course substitutions • Extending time for an incomplete • Permission to take a course overload • Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or grade option changes) Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a $50 petition fee attached to the petition. This fee is nonrefundable regardless of the outcome of the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term involved. For petitions requesting a late registration, any student account holds must be cleared before submitting the petition. Students who are allowed to add a course by petition after the published registration deadline will incur a $150 late registration fee per course. In addition, the committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic probation or dismissal from the College on academic grounds. The committee also hears appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. The committee reviews student requests for readmission to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while on probation, or students readmitting to the College immediately after a term from which they withdrew from College. The committee typically meets every other week throughout the school year (SeptemberApril), and once a month during summer. Petition Process Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the Enrollment Center or download from the registrar’s webpage, www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness or family emergency. Have your adviser, instructor, or department chair sign and add comments concerning your request. Petitions without comments from faculty will be returned for completion. Note: If petitioning for a change in registration, please submit a drop/add form signed by both the instructor and student. Step 3: Return the completed petition form to the Office of the Registrar/Enrollment Center; if applicable, include a signed drop/add form and $50 check. Step 4: After the committee meets, a copy of the petition with the committee’s decision is returned to the student. Day students will receive this notice in their campus box. WEC and Rochester student petitions will be mailed to their home address. 64 Catalog Applicability Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg. Second Majors and Degrees Students who graduated from Augsburg and are returning to complete an additional major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded. (BA, BM, BS) Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn both a BA in computer science and a BS in computer science, but may earn a BS in computer science and a BA in computational philosophy. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Office of the Registrar and is based on a student’s official transcript. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmentalremedial courses, vocationaltechnical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on a individual basis. The registrar’s office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than semester or quarter hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Transfer credits that have been reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six, respectively. Augsburg College limits transfer credit from twoyear colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits (96 quarter credits) from twoyear colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer from twoyear institutions toward the minimum number of course credits required for a bachelor’s degree. However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their faculty advisers and the Office of the Registrar before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) MnSCU Transfer Students 65 Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300), and will waive one of two Lifetime Fitness requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C – or better. Transfer courses that equate to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer program, the A.A. degree and MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C–grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. Admission to a major—a separate process from admission to the College—is sometimes required. Please check with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and consult the departmental section of this catalog. Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 13 or more course credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below: • Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 and REL 200 • Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement • Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis • Waiver of the Entrylevel Critical Thinking Assessment • Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. *Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. Transfer Credit for Military Experience Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Office of the Registrar for transfer credit evaluation. A military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and courses completed in the U.S. Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines. Army records maintained by AARTS: http://aarts.army.mil Navy and Marine Corps records maintained by SMART: https://smart.navy.mil Coast Guard records maintained by U.S. Coast Guard Institute: 66 www.uscg.mil/hq/cgi/ve/official_transcript.asp Air Force Records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process. Graduation Requirements The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. All students are required to file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year prior to graduation. Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the registrar staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Office of the Registrar about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major. See Special Students section (Second Degree). Each student is required to apply for graduation at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s webpage. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Office of the Registrar in order for the degree to be conferred. (There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.) Requirements for Undergraduate Graduation Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence. 1. Completion of 32 course credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 32 total course credits required: two course credits by independent/directed study; four course credits of internship; and six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two elective P/N graded course credits. Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than two course credits with P grades toward a major and no more than one course credit with a P grade toward a minor. The Department of Education is an example of a department that allows students to apply more than two course credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching). 2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum —Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in the next section. 4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certification programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence —A minimum of 8.0 course credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no fewer than 6.0 of the last 8.0 course credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) credits are counted against the residency 67 requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the catalog description of the major/minor or the chair of the department for further information. The Augsburg Curriculum The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: the core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entrylevel skill courses before enrolling in collegelevel classes. The general education requirements, known as the Augsburg Core Curriculum, include signature courses and experiences, a liberal arts foundation, and skills development. Entry Level Skills Critical Thinking, Math, Writing (Assessments and Placements) Core Skills Effective Writing Modern Language Lifetime Fitness The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning I and II The Augsburg First Year Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone The Liberal Arts Foundation Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Electives Majors Graduation Skills Critical Thinking Quantitative Reasoning Speaking Writing The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, 68 and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that: • Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills; • Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for meaning; and • Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world — vocatio and caritas. The curriculum has three major components: • The Augsburg Signature Curriculum • The Liberal Arts Foundation • Skills Requirements Skills Requirements Entry Level Skills Assessments There are entry level skills assessments in: • Critical Thinking • Mathematics • Writing Placement in writing, math, and critical thinking courses is determined by assessments. These assessments are a prerequisite for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements. Firstyear students who begin at Augsburg in the Fall of 2010 or later must complete all required developmental/entrylevel courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students who begin at Augsburg in the Fall of 2010 or later must complete all required developmental/entry level courses by the end of their third term. The developmental courses subject to this policy are: • GST 100 • ENL 101 • ENL 111 / HON 111 / ENL 112 • ENL 217 / 218 • MAT 103 / 105 Critical Thinking Assessment and Requirement Students identified as needing the entry level critical thinking skill component, based on review of their past academic work, are required to complete GST 100 with a minimum grade of 2.0 or better. Mathematics Assessment and Requirement All students are required to have their math placement group (MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during College registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve MPG 3 by the end of their 69 first year at Augsburg. Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Writing Assessment and Requirement A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111). Unless they have received formal approval of a course equivalent to ENL 111 on their transfer evaluation, transfer students must also take the writing placement exam. Students entering Weekend College or the Rochester program do not take the Writing Assessment. Core Skills Requirements Effective Writing ENL 111 Effective Writing or ENL 112 Advanced Effective Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, is required. Attendance the first day of class is required. Students should complete Effective Writing by the middle of the sophomore year. Modern Language For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a twocourse sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement into French, German and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other modern languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed. Assessment is used for placement only and does not grant course credit. Students may audit, but will not receive course credit for any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Crosscultural Studies may override assessment results as deemed appropriate. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on 70 the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. More information can also be found in the English Language Learners section. Lifetime Fitness Two lifetime fitness courses are required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different Lifetime Activity courses (HPE 002, 003). Students may test out of the activity course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime Activity courses are noncredit courses and are not included in the 32course credit graduation requirement. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Two required courses (REL 100 and REL 200) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the College’s related interest in asking students to think critically about the concept of vocation. Faculty who teach these courses make the following commitments to their students: • You are welcome—whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but not religious.” Our Christian understanding is rooted in a generous spirit of hospitality. • We will treat each other with respect as we learn how to engage in conversation with one another about our different values, commitments, convictions, and faith traditions. • We will challenge and support one another to develop a mature faith for our time—open to doubts and eager to explore our questions and the realities of our world and culture. • We will equip you with basic knowledge about vocation, religion, the Bible, and Christianity as well as about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—their stories, claims, and key concepts. • We will deepen our study of Christianity, explore Augsburg’s claim that “what we believe matters,” and invite you to continue the process of developing your own lived theology. • We will explore the concept of vocation and our understanding that we are beloved and called to live and serve as neighbors. We will explore the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. The Augsburg First Year In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, firstyear weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar All students who enter the College as firstyear students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar (AugSem), a firstyear learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. AugSem’s purpose is to help first 71 year students embrace the expectations and benefits of being a member of a learning community at Augsburg College by: • Encountering the community • Engaging the learning process • Exploring the self as scholar AugSem equips students to become intentional learners, connects them to the larger Augsburg community, and helps them succeed in future college work. Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. The course linked with their AugSem introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, or service learning. Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see core skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages firstyear students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication between diverse writers and readers. Augsburg Experience All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved experiential learning opportunities are recognized as Augsburg Experiences: internships and applied work experiences (including fieldwork, practicums, and student teaching), facultystudent research, service learning/community service, study abroad, and offcampus immersion experiences. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning with academic learning. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1) integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) link oncampus learning to the goals, mission, needs, or ideas of offcampus people, organizations, and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities, and/ or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule or may be completed for zero credit outside the regular class schedule. The length of time required, credit/nocredit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences vary. Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. Students reflect on the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and indepth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. The official list of approved keystone courses is found on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Senior Keystone. 72 The Liberal Arts Foundation The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and Mathematics; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Humanities; and Fine Arts. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Liberal Arts Foundation. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology Humanities Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and CrossCultural Studies (literature and culture courses), Women’s Studies Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100, 200, or 300) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Fine Arts Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theatre Arts. One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following: • Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115) • Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121) • Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141) Graduation Skills Requirements An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill has two components: foundational skills and the application of those skills. Courses in which foundational quantitative reasoning skills are taught have a QF designation. Courses that contain an embedded project in which students apply and practice those foundational skills have a QA designation. Courses that provide both foundational skills and an application project have a QFA designation. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning QF and QFA courses. Departments may designate one required course with 73 a QF designation and one required course with a QA designation (departments may also designate a list of QF or QA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may designate a QFA course that fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning skill (departments may also designate a list of QFA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may list this skill as embedded. See department and program pages in this catalog, consult the graduation skills catalog supplement found online on the registrar’s webpage, or consult the department chair for more information. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver—Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver: • Biology • Biopsychology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Elementary Education • Health Education (teaching licensure only) • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physical Education (teaching licensure only) • Physics Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver—Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/ Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: • Biology • Biopsychology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physics Evaluation and Grading Explanation of Grades The official delivery of endofterm grades to students is online via the AugNet Records and Registration website. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. 74 Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Pass/No Credit Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: • In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. • Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P graded courses, or rank each as a C. • Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). • Pgraded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin Honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. • To be eligible for graduation with Latin Honors, students may elect only two P/N credits. • See P/N limitations in the Graduation Requirements section. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.5 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or S (Satisfactory) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form by the end of the term with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following 75 academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Withdrawal Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without notation on the record and before the last day to withdraw deadline. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Fulltime day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The charge for parttime and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College costs in the Financing Your Education section on page 21. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted.* *Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of course credits completed. • Sophomores—7 completed course credits 76 • • Juniors—15 completed course credits Seniors—23 completed course credits Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB)—Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office and on the Academic Advising website. Advanced Placement Program (AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Additional information is available on the Academic Advising webpage and from the Office of the Registrar. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar and the Academic Advising webpage. Departmental Comprehensive Exams—These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: • There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. • There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. • The registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program—This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: • There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal 77 arts coursework. • The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. • The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. • The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. • The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a nonrefundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning—While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campusbased liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (onefourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the five assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, IB exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English Language Learners (ELL) Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the ELL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test prior to registering for their first term at Augsburg. Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101 Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON 111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85100 range for exemption from ELL courses) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English Language Learner’s course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student’s ELL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the Modern Language Core Skill requirement for graduation. Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation; however, certain majors require a higher minimum GPA. A student will be placed on probation and considered for continuation or dismissal if: • His/her cumulative GPA is below 2.00 78 • He/she is a firstyear student who receives two (2) zero or No Pass grades • He/she is a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three (3) zero or No Pass grades • At the end of the first term, he/she has not fulfilled the requirements established through the Conditional Admit Program (refer to the Academic Skills Office Conditional Admit Program (CAP) section of the catalog). For more information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills/. Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of a student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration used when deciding whether to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Students on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College must receive permission from the Student Standing Committee to reenroll. Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to his/her commitment to academic success. A student will be removed from probation if: • His/her cumulative GPA reaches 2.00; or • He/ she was placed on probation because of unfulfilled Conditional Admit Requirements and he/she subsequently satisfies those requirements. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he/she may appeal the decision to the Student Standing Committee within 10 school days. Specific appeal instructions are included in the letter of dismissal. Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as Social Work, Education and Nursing. A student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is available at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/. Dean’s List The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, lists undergraduate students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.50 or better. Students must be fulltime students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program’s calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean’s List. If permission has been given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper for those students on the Dean’s List. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a baccalaureate degree. This designation and the standards set are in effect for all students who complete degree requirements in May 2004 or later. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: 79 Summa cum laude: 3.904.00 GPA plus successful completion of the summa oral examination Magna cum laude: 3.803.89 GPA Cum laude: 3.603.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 14 traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted). For additional information, including the guidelines for the Summa Cum Laude oral examination, go to the Latin Honors section at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Graduation and Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic accomplishment. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. The May commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program and for students in the Physician Assistant Studies graduate program. The June commencement ceremony is for students in the other six graduate programs as well as undergraduate students in the Weekend College and Rochester programs. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring term; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms immediately following commencement. Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 13454 Sunrise Valley Road, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.degreeverify.org Phone: 7037424200 Fax: 7037424239 Email: degreeverify@studentclearinghouse.org Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for veterans education. Veterans should consult with the V.A. certifying official in the Office of the Registrar about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. 80 Additional information about veterans education benefits can be found at www.gibill.va.gov. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Notice The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records—You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records—You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information—You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”—FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s email address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); 81 • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates); • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office—You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 202024605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Clery Act The Clery Act Annual Report for Augsburg College contains statistics on reported crimes on and near Augsburg property and campus, as well as institutional policies concerning campus security and crime. The report is available online at www.augsburg.edu/dps/security/report.html. For a printed copy, contact Augsburg’s Department of Public Safety at 6123301717. 82 Majors and Minors Listings that are in bold type are offered through both the day program and Weekend College.

It is possible for students to take beginning/intermediate/advanced language courses not available at consortium colleges. Consult with the ACTC office for specific program options. Students register directly with the ACTC office. 2 Dual-degree programs with the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology and Michigan Technological University. Inter-Institutional Programs Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. 86 Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC)—Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private colleges library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to over 2,500,000 volumes and media resources. Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)—Full-time day students at Augsburg and the St. Paul colleges and universities of Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which a student has cross-registered is kept in the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not the host ACTC institution. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students between the campuses. Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium, and weekend students may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)—Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Norway, Northern Ireland, Latin America, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs on page 163.) McNally Smith College of Music—Augsburg College full-time students may elect to take one course each semester at McNally Smith College of Music providing that they meet all McNally Smith College of Music requirements. This program is open to sophomores through seniors. There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their advisor to confirm if the classes will count toward graduation requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be used as a substitute for any Augsburg course specifically listed within a degree program. Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg–McNally Smith exchange are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which a student has registered for through the exchange is kept in the Office of the Registrar at Augsburg College, not McNally Smith. Air Force ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Air Force ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas under the ACTC consortium agreement. Students are eligible to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar, or call the University of St. Thomas at 651-962-6320 or 1-800-328-6819, x6320. Army ROTC—Augsburg day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar. Augsburg Abroad Augsburg Abroad is the front door for students and faculty interested in study abroad. Services include: • Study abroad program selection advising • Financial and academic advising for study abroad • Registration and billing for study abroad • Pre-departure and re-entry support (application, orientation, etc.) 87 • Faculty-led, short-term program coordination About half of Augsburg undergraduate students are studying abroad. Graduate students also find short-term programs as part of their curriculum. Students abroad will find themselves in a variety of locales and studying a variety of disciplines: studying gender issues in Central America; acting with masks in Norway; interning with community organizations in Northern Ireland; studying political science in Namibia; learning about ecology in Tanzania; taking organic chemistry in New Zealand; and learning a language where it is spoken. Academic Requirements and Credit Students fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on approved programs. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor, language, liberal arts foundation, lifetime activity, and internship requirements. This is determined prior to departure when students fill out the required Credit Agreement form that is signed by academic advisers and appropriate staff and faculty approving courses. Students should be aware of the following policies related to study abroad: • Students can study abroad more than once. • Students can study abroad at any point in their academic career. Semester and Summer Programs • Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year will meet the Augsburg residency requirement. • You must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs. • You must take courses A-F while abroad. • Grades received on affiliated and non-Augsburg programs are reported as transfer credit on your transcript, and thus are not figured into your GPA. • A “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg. Faculty-led Short-term Programs • Students must register for all courses required by the short-term program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Augsburg Abroad Office. Any courses removed by the student without Augsburg Abroad permission prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded. • Overload Fee Exemption for faculty-led January and Spring Weekend College (WEC) programs: January and spring WEC faculty-led programs are placed within the spring semester. However, full-time Day students will not be billed an overload fee if an additional 4.0 or 4.5 credits are taken in the regular spring term. A student taking minimal credits in the spring can use the January or Spring WEC faculty-led short-term program as a spring term course in order to be considered part-time or full-time. • Crossover Policy Exemption: The crossover policy does not apply to study abroad students. WEC students who do a study abroad program placed in the Day program do not count that as their crossover course. The same policy exemption is valid for Day students doing a study abroad program scheduled in a WEC term. Eligibility and Application The following are Augsburg College’s requirements for study abroad: • Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with Augsburg Abroad. 88 • Be a sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you study abroad. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader. • Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus. • Not be on academic or disciplinary probation. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to study abroad may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all non-recoverable program costs incurred. • Not have an outstanding balance on your student account. • Be aware that students applying to faculty-led programs, who meet the above criteria, are accepted on a rolling basis; space is limited on these programs so applying early is important. Application deadlines for semester programs are: October 1: Spring semester study abroad and January faculty-led programs February 1: Spring WEC term and Summer Session faculty-led programs March 1: Fall semester and non-faculty led summer study abroad programs Program provider deadlines vary; students need to meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by program providers. Students should start planning in their first year for study abroad to be sure to do appropriate research and meet all deadlines. Students are accepted to study on faculty-led programs on a first applied, first accepted basis. ACCESS/CLASS Abroad Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. Students are encouraged work closely with Augsburg Abroad/CLASS/ACCESS. Students are responsible for requesting accommodations abroad within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection. Augsburg Abroad will work closely with the student, CLASS, and /or ACCESS offices to determine needs and make appropriate and possible accommodations abroad. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of study abroad is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad fees. These costs vary from program to program. Augsburg College pays the program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for study abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition when studying abroad. Students who receive financial aid, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to cover their study abroad program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionallyfunded aid (e.g., Presidential, Regents, Legacy, Promise and other Augsburg scholarships, and tuition remission benefit) may use their scholarships to study abroad multiple times on Augsburg Programs (see below in Study Abroad Program section). However, institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward study abroad costs on an affiliate or non-Augsburg program. Cost estimates for the time 89 abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad. Students are required to notify Augsburg Abroad immediately if they choose not to continue with their study abroad experience. At the moment of notification non-recoverable costs will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal students may owe nothing, the study abroad fee, the deposit, or some, or all, of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of their program provider. Study Abroad Programs Students have over 200 programs in over 90 countries from which to choose. In addition to the below Augsburg College programs, students can choose from affiliated program providers. These programs have been reviewed to meet the Augsburg experience requirement, diverse needs of students, and provide quality student service. The programs are reviewed each year. If students cannot find a program that meets their needs from the Augsburg College or Augsburgaffiliated options then they can apply to do a non-Augsburg program. Students with a strong academic or financial reason, faculty support (as shown on the Credit Agreement form), and who choose a good quality program, may be approved. The Center for Global Education The mission of the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College is to provide cross-cultural educational opportunities in order to foster critical analysis of local and global conditions so that personal and systemic change takes place leading to a more just and sustainable world. The center’s study programs are conducted in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia. Students experience three distinct types of living situations: living with other students in a community house, spending several days in a rural setting, and several weeks living with host families. In the Mexico and Namibia programs, students travel together on two-week seminars — from Mexico to Central America, and from Namibia to South Africa. The cost of these programs is equivalent to full tuition, room, and board for one semester on campus, plus airfare. (Some travel scholarships are available for Augsburg students.) Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica (Mexico)—Fall Learn about the central issues facing Mesoamerica, with emphasis on the experience and empowerment of women. Students will engage in gender analysis of key social, economic, political, and cultural issues in Mexico and El Salvador; explore the interconnectedness of race, class, and gender; and learn first-hand from both women and men who are involved in struggles for sustainable development and social change. The program offers credit in religion, political science, women’s studies, and Spanish. Internships and independent studies are also available in nine different disciplines. The program includes a two-week educational seminar in El Salvador, as well as rural travel within Mexico and four-day seminar in Mexico City. Students stay in guest houses while traveling, in Augsburg approximately six weeks, and with Mexican host families for four to six weeks. Prerequisite: one college-level Spanish course or its equivalent. International Business and Global Citizenship (Mexico)—Fall The largest immigrant group in the United States is composed of people born in Mexico, and Mexico is front and center in debates about globalization and U.S. immigration policy. This program, designed for international business majors, will study the important role that Mexico plays in the U.S. in relation to trade issues, how to conduct business in and with Mexico, and use it as a lens to learn 90 about international business topics that are relevant in many different countries. Students will have the opportunity to study Spanish at levels from beginning to advanced, live with a host family for four weeks, and develop closer relationships in the community and improve their international business background by completing an internship in a local business or government office. Prerequisites: ECO 112 or 113, and BUS 242 or MKT 252, or consent of instructor. Nation-Building, Globalization, and Decolonizing the Mind: Southern African Perspectives (Namibia)— Fall or Spring This program examines the crucial issues of nation-building, globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the perspectives of the new democracies of southern Africa. Namibia won its independence in 1990 after decades of apartheid under South African colonization. South Africa had its first democratic election in 1994. As these nations struggle to build nationhood and deal with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges posed by today’s world: rapid globalization and under and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a long-term project. Credit is available in history, religion, political science, and interdisciplinary studies. Internships are also available. Sustainable Development and Social Change (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua)—Fall or Spring This is an intensive semester of study and travel designed to introduce students to the key issues facing Central Americans. Students will explore the history, culture, and struggles of the people of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, as well as study approaches towards social and economic development. Course credit may be earned in Spanish, religion, history, women’s studies, and political science. Students spend the first five weeks in Guatemala, the next four weeks in El Salvador, and the final six weeks in Nicaragua. Prerequisites: one college-level Spanish course or its equivalent is required. Migration and Globalization: Engaging Our Communities (Mexico)—Spring This is an intensive program that explores issues of migration, immigration, and globalization. It is ideal for students who are interested in working with Spanish-speaking populations in the United States, as it includes intensive Spanish language classes, an internship or independent research opportunity, and courses that help students understand the connections between globalization and migration while learning from diverse communities that are organizing for positive social change around issues of race, ethnicity, socio-economic class, gender, sexuality, economics, and the environment. Credit is available in Spanish, history, women’s studies, political science, and religion. Students spend most of the semester living in Augsburg housing and approximately six weeks living with Mexican host families. Social Work in a Latin American Context (Mexico)—Spring This program was created to satisfy the curriculum requirements for a Bachelor in Social Work degree program. Its goal is to develop cross-culturally competent, ethical social work professionals with a global perspective by providing a semester of transformative, experiential learning focused on social and economic justice. It includes Spanish language study and social work courses. Social work field placement is also available for qualified students. Students live with Mexican host families for six weeks. International Partners and Exchanges The Office of International Programs offers a broad range of semester and academic year programs in China, Finland, Germany, Norway, and Slovenia. Students can choose from several 91 options in diverse disciplines: liberal arts programs, group programs, “tailor-made” individual study programs, and practical professional experiences. All coursework is in English. Travel scholarships are available for some locations. For further information on programs in Finland, Germany, and Norway, contact the International Partners office. For exchange programs in China and Slovenia, contact Augsburg Abroad. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) Augsburg, in consortium with other colleges and universities, offers full semester programs in Norway, East and Central Europe, Ecuador, Northern Ireland, and the Twin Cities. All HECUA programs explore civic engagement, community, and social change, and emphasize internships and field study. For more information on international HECUA programs, see the listings under International Studies; and for HECUA programs in the Twin Cities, see Interdisciplinary Studies. Scandinavian Urban Studies Term: Norway—Fall A quarter of Oslo’s residents are not ethnic Norwegians. Students investigate changing Northern Europe using Norway’s welfare state and Scandinavian national identity as case studies. Coursework and an internship provide unique perspectives on how the Norwegian social democracy and Scandinavian welfare states are working to address the challenges posed by immigration and cultural and ethnic diversity. Students choose an independent study project or Norwegian language courses. Divided States of Europe—Spring Ten former communist nation-states have recently joined the European Union. From three different locations – Norway, Romania, and Hungary – students examine the complex dynamics of European integration via issues such as labor migration, minority politics, right-wing populism, prostitution, and human trafficking. Together, Hungary and Romania encompass some of Europe’s most pressing social justice issues and constitute its primary geographic and cultural bridge between East and West. Community Internships in Latin America: Ecuador—Fall and Spring This interdisciplinary program, based in Quito, Ecuador, enables the student to combine intense involvement in a community-based organization with study of the community development process. A home-stay and a hands-on internship develop Spanish and other skills. The program addresses globalization, the environment, oil politics, and other local and international issues. Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Spring The Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change program examines the historical, political, and religious roots of conflict in Northern Ireland, the prospects for peace, and the progress being made. Through a seven-week internship, students get hands-on experience with organizations working for social change. Field seminars focus on human rights, conflict transformation, and education for democracy. The program is located at the UNESCO Centre at the University of Ulster in Coleraine. Student Teaching Abroad Selected education department students may participate in the International Student Teaching Abroad program coordinated through the University of Minnesota-Morris. Students who teach abroad will also do part of their student teaching under direct Augsburg faculty supervision. For additional information, contact the Department of Education student teacher director. 92 May/Summer Abroad May and summer courses to many parts of the world enable students to earn credit through shortterm travel. Contact Augsburg Abroad for the most current list of programs. Clair and Gladys Strommen Career and Internship Center The Strommen Career and Internship Center is a comprehensive resource center emphasizing the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development and the exploration of vocation throughout their college years. The integration of “knowing and doing” adds breadth and depth to the curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic and career decisions. The underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for life, meaningful work, and active citizenship. Career Services Career Services provides opportunities, programs, and career counseling to help students discover their unique gifts, talents, skills, and interests, explore career paths, and grapple with questions of vocation and purpose in a changing world. This process is viewed as an important part of a student’s development while attending college. To aid in this process, professional career staff provide career assessments and individualized career planning and coaching. Staff assist students with choosing majors, locating internships, preparing for internship and job searches, graduate school applications, and making connections to community, business, and alumni resources. Internships Academic Credit An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic related objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students often do internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, schools, and churches. Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during a semester, Weekend College trimester or summer sessions. Inter-disciplinary (INS) internships are also available. For extension of an internship beyond one term see Evaluation and Grading on page 58. Internships can be registered for 1 course credit or .5 credit. One course credit involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 10 hours per week or 140 total hours. Internships for .5 credit require a minimum of 80 total hours. A maximum of four courses of internship may count toward the total courses required for the degree. Internships completed off-campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Non-Credit and Transcript Notation Non-credit internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zerocredit transcript notation. The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a work setting and reflect on the experience. Work opportunities typically are part-time during the academic year and/ or full time during summer and can begin and end anytime. Students must set learning goals and 93 evaluate their experience. The director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center supervises non-credit internships and transcript notation work experiences. Internships not for credit and transcript notations may be used to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Sabo Center for Citizenship and Learning Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community Service-learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of community-service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the City, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of community service-learning sites include: homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring programs and literacy centers. Campus Kitchen Project and Community Garden The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger community by using food as a tool to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service-learning. To accomplish these goals, three separate programs exist: 1) FOOD TO SHARE—Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated and served by student volunteers to neighborhood partners including: homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. 2) FOOD TO GROW—On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of 70 individual plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food. 3) FOOD TO BUY—A farmer’s market and CSA delivery is available weekly at Augsburg College and the Brian Coyle Community Center in order to increase access to healthy foods. Surplus produce from the market and CSA shares are donated to the Campus Kitchen meal delivery program. Bonner Leader Program In November of 2008-2009, Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders program, funded through the National Bonner Foundation. Through the Bonner program at Augsburg, students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their four years at Augsburg College. Those selected to be a part of the Augsburg College Bonner Leaders program were largely first-year students, with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds, and unique experience with community-leadership roles. Through service placements with partner nonprofit community organizations, students worked an average of 200 hours over the course of the academic year in placements supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, helping coordinate a low-income housing program, providing community health outreach, and working with a financial literacy program. Beyond their work-study service internships, students participated in at least 100 hours of volunteer hours with various community initiatives and civic engagement projects on campus. 94 Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders program, students engaged in monthly guided reflections and leadership development training. The Augsburg Bonner Community Leaders program is a successful campus model to build on the college’s culture of community and civic engagement and bring together existing community service programs to take us to the next level of deepening knowledge, reflection, and authenticity of civic engagement in the community. Augsburg Reads The Augsburg Read Program is a federally funded literacy and tutoring program focused on elementary student achievement. Augsburg Reads pairs college students with community organizations in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood focused on student achievement through after school programs. Graduate Programs Augsburg College offers seven graduate degree programs: Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and Master of Social Work. Consult the Augsburg Graduate Studies catalog for complete information. The Master of Arts in Education offers initial licensure coursework at the graduate level in elementary education, secondary education, and special education: E/BD and LD. The MAE also offers the pre-primary specialty and the K-12 Reading Teacher endorsement. Students are able to take up to six licensure courses at the graduate level and complete their licensure programs with a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. Students can then apply their graduate level licensure courses to complete a master’s degree program. Students will complete their master’s degrees through a combination of Master of Arts in Leadership coursework and graduate level education coursework. Licensed teachers also can pursue special education: E/BD and/or LD, as well as the K-12 Reading Licensure Endorsement and the pre-primary endorsement at the graduate level. The program is available through the Weekend College schedule, and the admissions process begins with the Graduate Admissions office. For further information about the programs, contact the Education Department or the Graduate Admissions office. The Master of Arts in Leadership is based on a liberal arts approach to leadership studies. This cross-disciplinary program directs its academic content and pedagogical approaches to situations, issues, and problems relevant to organizational leaders. Augsburg’s program recognizes that today’s leaders need a broad spectrum of abilities to provide them with a more comprehensive understanding of their world. Designed for working adults, the program offers courses primarily on alternate Saturdays. There is also a Monday evening cohort offering of the program at Augsburg’s Bloomington site. (Note: A five-year program is available to Augsburg undergraduate accounting majors that would qualify them for CPA certification and fulfill requirements for a BA in accounting and an MA in leadership. See the Department of Business Administration, accounting major section of the catalog for further information.) The Master of Arts in Nursing prepares nurses for transformational leadership and transcultural community health nursing practice across care settings, with emphasis on addressing health inequities among diverse populations. The program is offered within the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Graduates are eligible to apply for national certification in Advanced Community Health Nursing, or Advanced Nursing Administration through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and/or Advanced Certification in Transcultural Nursing through the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS). Classes meet on a flexible schedule (every other week or once per month) 95 that includes weekdays, weekday evenings, and Saturdays. Web-enhanced teaching is used for all classes. Practicums include optional short-term study abroad experiences. Students may choose to study in Mexico, Guatemala; Namibia; Pine Ridge; S.Dak.; and/or Europe. The Master of Arts in Nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in accordance with its accreditation standards and procedures. Streamlined entry into the Master of Arts in Nursing—Students with an ADN and a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing can enter the Master of Arts in Nursing program as a “bridge student.” This process requires acceptance to the MA program and completion of three courses in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program. Students in good standing in the Augsburg undergraduate nursing program can enter the MA in nursing through an “expedited” process. After successful application to the MA program while still a student in the undergraduate program, students can take three designated courses in the Master of Arts in Nursing, which will be applied to the M.A. at Augsburg upon successful completion of the undergraduate nursing degree. The Doctor of Nursing Practice is a post-master’s program for registered nurses (RNs) who currently hold a master’s degree in nursing. The DNP at Augsburg will prepare nurses to guide system level changes that improve health outcomes of persons underserved by the current health system. The program emphasizes transcultural nursing leadership to maximize health through peaceful, just, and collaborative actions that uphold and improve human potential across care settings with emphasis on health inequities in a global context. In addition to emphasizing transcultural nursing, the DNP curriculum also focuses on advanced community/public health nursing and holistic health. The Master of Business Administration is designed to give students mastery of the skills and knowledge necessary to advance in their careers and accept roles of greater responsibility in an organization. Meeting primarily on one evening per week, this challenging program is designed to be completed in 23 months. Organized in cohort format, the program encourages learning in a collaborative small-group environment and features a high level of interaction and attention from the faculty. The program focuses on giving students the ability to think critically and effectively manage in complex environments. An intensive management consulting course allows students to apply theory and classroom learning to an actual business or organizational environment. Local businesses and organizations provide a laboratory for students as they complete comprehensive projects in various disciplines and functions. The core program can be enhanced through participation in a number of concentrations including finance, healthcare management, human resource management, international business, and marketing management. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies is designed for students interested in careers as healthcare providers. The mission of the program is based on a foundation of respect and sensitivity for the cultures and backgrounds of, and is oriented toward providing care to, underserved populations. Students are well educated in current medical theory and practice in primary care medicine. All physician assistants must have a supervising physician to practice. The program is three years long with classes held Monday through Friday during the day. The Master of Social Work, accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, prepares students for entering advanced social work practice. The program builds on the liberal arts base of the College and supports the College’s mission to nurture future leaders in service to the world. There are two concentrations: multicultural clinical practice (MCCP) or program development, policy, and administration (PDPA). Students choose one of the two concentrations for their program 96 focus. The curriculum emphasizes work with diverse and oppressed groups, social justice, leadership for social change, and a holistic, strengths-based, problem-solving framework. Graduate social work classes meet in four-hour blocks on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, and Saturday afternoons. The multicultural clinical practice concentration prepares students to work with diverse peoples across the full range of contemporary clinical social work practice settings. The program development, policy, and administration concentration prepares students to actively seek equality and justice for clients within agencies, institutions, and society, while directing energy toward changing policies that obscure and oppress people. Two dual degrees are also available: a Master of Social Work/Master of Theology or Divinity degree (MSW/MA/MDiv) and a Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration degree (MSW/MBA). The MSW/MA/MDiv dual degree is offered in collaboration with Luther Seminary. It is designed to meet the educational interests of people planning to serve the spiritual and social needs of families, individuals, and communities. The MSW/MBA dual degree is offered in collaboration with the Augsburg MBA program. It provides students with the skills and expertise necessary to build well managed and financially sound service organizations that serve diverse communities, both locally and globally. Other Programs Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and non-credit programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg College. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the College and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education, Nursing, Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office of the College Board. Augsburg College is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. Canadian Program The Canadian program was inaugurated in 1985 with endowment from the Mildred Joel bequest for Canadian studies. The program supports special events and conferences as well as student internships and faculty activity in Canadian studies. The goals of the program include community involvement, increased awareness of the importance of Canadian/U.S. relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians through visits and exchanges.

As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisers when planning their academic program. Summer session and graduate program courses are published in separate schedules. Specific information on registration and help with registration on other campuses are available from these offices: Enrollment Center—612-330-1046 Academic Advising—612-330-1025 Augsburg for Adults—612-330-1782 Rochester Program—507-288-2886 Crossover Registration Policy Every Augsburg undergraduate student is admitted to a “home program,” either day, Weekend College, or the Rochester Program. It is expected that students will complete most of their degree requirements through their home program. However, full-time students may register for up to 1.0 credits per term outside their home program. Enrollment will be based on class availability. Students will be charged the rate of their home program for courses in which they enroll outside their home program. The rate will be based on the maximum credit load they are carrying on any calendar date over the span of the two terms. For example, a day program student taking 2.0 credits in the day program, and 1.0 credits in the WEC program, will be considered full-time and will be charged the full-time day program tuition rate. A WEC student taking 2.0 credits in the WEC program, and 1.0 credits in the day program, will pay the WEC tuition rate x 3.0 credits. Day students taking over 4.5 credits will pay the day part-time rate for any credits over 4.5 in their combined day/WEC load (Spring day term will include both winter WEC and spring WEC). The maximum number of credits that may be included in the day full-time tuition rate for students who cross-register is 4.5. Students have registration priority in their home program. Crossover registration dates are published on the registrar’s office webpage. There is a special crossover registration form that must be processed at the Enrollment Center. This registration option is not available by Web. The WEC, Rochester, and Partner Hospitals programs are not part of the ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) tuition exchange program. WEC/Rochester/hospital students may NOT 99 cross over to attend ACTC courses. Students must have completed their undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint BA Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (Day, WEC, or Rochester). Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by filling out a Change of Program form available at the Enrollment Center. The change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to one each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins. Students registered in spring Day may not do a change of program into spring WEC. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in a failing grade on their official academic record. Cancellation of courses or withdrawal from College must be completed in the Enrollment Center. A Withdrawal from the College form may be obtained at the Enrollment Center or downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. The last day to file for a Withdrawal from College is the last day of classes prior to finals week. Withdrawal from college and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is returned to the registrar’s office. Students must be re-admitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form is available from the Enrollment Center or can be downloaded from the registrar’s webpage. Students are responsible for keeping the registrar’s office informed of their current mailing address. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. The student must provide a copy of their orders to the registrar. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the registrar will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or work out an “incomplete” agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refund adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the registrar and/or the dean’s office as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee reviews requests for exceptions to academic policies. Typically, the committee considers requests for: • Minor exceptions to academic requirements and/or approval of transfer course 100 substitutions • Extending time for an incomplete • Permission to take a course overload • Student schedule changes after registration deadlines (adding, withdrawing, or grade option changes) Note: Petitions for an exception to published registration deadlines will require a $50 petition fee attached to the petition. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the petition. Petitions involving adding or dropping courses/withdrawing from college after the deadline must be submitted within six months of the published registration deadlines for the term involved. For petitions requesting a late registration, any student account holds must be cleared before submitting the petition. Students who are allowed to add a course by petition after the published petition deadline will incur a $150 late registration fee per course. In addition, the committee reviews students’ transcripts in determining academic probation or dismissal from the College on academic grounds. The committee also hears appeals from students who have been dismissed for academic reasons. The committee reviews student requests for readmission to the College after dismissal or returning after leaving while on probation, or students readmitting to the College immediately after a term from which they withdrew from College. The committee typically meets every other week throughout the school year (September-April), and once a month during summer. Petition Process Step 1: Pick up a petition form at the Enrollment Center or download from the registrar’s webpage, www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Step 2: Fill out the petition form completely. Include documentation for illness or family emergency. Have your adviser, instructor, or department chairs sign and add comments concerning your request. Petitions without comments from faculty will be returned for completion. Note: If petitioning for a change in registration, please submit a drop/add form signed by both the instructor and student. Step 3: Return the completed petition form to the Office of the Registrar/Enrollment Center; include signed drop/add form and $50 check if applicable. Step 4: After the committee meets, a copy of the petition with the committee’s decision is returned to the student. Day students will receive this notice in their campus box. WEC and Rochester student petitions will be mailed to their home address. Catalog Applicability Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg. Second Majors and Degrees Students who graduated from Augsburg and are returning to complete a second major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded. (BA, BM, BS) Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot 101 earn both a BA in computer science and a BS in computer science, but may earn a BS in computer science and a BA in computational philosophy. Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Office of the Registrar and is based on a student’s official transcript. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmental-remedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on a individual basis. The registrar’s office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Augsburg operates on a course credit system rather than semester or quarter hours. Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Transfer credits that have been reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Augsburg College limits transfer credit from two-year colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer from two-year institutions toward the minimum number of course credits required for a bachelor’s degree. However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their faculty adviser and the Office of the Registrar before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) MnSCU Transfer Students Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 300), and will waive one of two Lifetime Fitness requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C – or better. Transfer courses that equate to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer program, the A.A. degree and MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic adviser in the major department to 102 discuss major requirements. Courses with C–grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. Admission to a major—a separate process from admission to the College—is sometimes required. Please check with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and consult the departmental section of this catalog. Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 13 or more course credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below: • Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 and REL 200 • Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement • Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis • Waiver of the Entry-level Critical Thinking Assessment • Waiver of one Lifetime Fitness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. *Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. Transfer Credit for Military Experience Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Office of the Registrar for transfer credit evaluation. A military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and courses completed in the U.S. Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines. Army records maintained by AARTS: http://aarts.army.mil Navy and Marine Corps records maintained by SMART: https://smart.navy.mil Coast Guard records maintained by U.S. Coast Guard Institute: www.uscg.mil/hq/cgi/ve/official_transcript.asp Air Force Records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process. Graduation Requirements The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. All students are required to file a graduation application with the registrar’s office one year prior to graduation. Faculty advisers, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the registrar staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Office of the Registrar about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major. See Special Students section (Second Degree). 103 Each student is required to apply for graduation at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available at the Enrollment Center or on the registrar’s webpage. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Office of the Registrar in order for the degree to be conferred. (There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.) Requirements for Undergraduate Graduation Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence. 1. Completion of 32 course credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 32 total course credits required: two course credits by independent/directed study; four course credits of internship; and six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than two elective P/N graded course credits. Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than two course credits with P grades toward a major and no more than one course credit with a P grade toward a minor. The Department of Education is an example of a department that allows students to apply more than two course credits with P grades within the major program (two in major field courses plus student teaching). 2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum —Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed in the next section. 4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certification programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence —A minimum of 8.0 course credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no fewer than 6.0 of the last 8.0 course credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) credits are counted against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of courses that are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the catalog description of the major/minor or the chair of the department for further information. The Augsburg Curriculum The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: the core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in college-level classes. The general education requirements, known as the Augsburg Core Curriculum, include signature courses and experiences, a liberal arts foundation, and skills development. Entry Level Skills Critical Thinking, Math, Writing (Assessments and Placements) 104 Core Skills Effective Writing Modern Language Lifetime Fitness The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning I and II The Augsburg First Year Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone The Liberal Arts Foundation Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Electives Majors Graduation Skills Critical Thinking Quantitative Reasoning Speaking Writing The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that: • Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills; • Calls for common inquiry into questions of Christian faith and the search for meaning; and • Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world — vocatio and caritas. The curriculum has three major components: • The Augsburg Signature Curriculum • The Liberal Arts Foundation • Skills Requirements Skills Requirements Entry Level Skills Assessments There are entry level skills assessments in: 105 • Critical Thinking • Mathematics • Writing Placement in writing, math, and critical thinking courses is determined by assessments. These assessments are a prerequisite for (not completion of) core and graduation skills course requirements. Critical Thinking Assessment and Requirement Students identified as needing the entry level critical thinking skill component, based on review of their past academic work, are required to complete GST 100 with a minimum grade of 2.0 or better. Mathematics Assessment and Requirement All students are required to have their math placement group (MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the registrar’s office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during College registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the math placement exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term and should achieve MPG 3 by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Students in MPG 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Writing Assessment and Requirement A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111). Unless they have received formal approval of a course equivalent to ENL 111 on their transfer evaluation, transfer students must also take the writing placement exam. Students entering Weekend College or the Rochester program do not take the Writing Assessment. Core Skills Requirements Effective Writing ENL 111 Effective Writing or ENL 112 Advanced Effective Writing or the equivalent with a grade of 106 2.0, P, or higher, is required. Attendance the first day of class is required. Students should complete Effective Writing by the middle of the sophomore year. Modern Language For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement into French, German and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other modern languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed. Assessment is used for placement only and does not grant course credit. Students may audit, but will not receive course credit for any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-cultural Studies may override assessment results as deemed appropriate. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement fulfill the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. More information can also be found in the English Language Learners section. Lifetime Fitness Two lifetime fitness courses are required. HPE 001 Foundations of Fitness is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different Lifetime Activity courses (HPE 002, 003). Students may test out of the activity course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. Foundations of Fitness and Lifetime Activity courses are non-credit courses and are not included in the 32-course credit graduation requirement. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Two required courses (REL 100 and REL 200) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the College’s related interest in asking students to think critically about the concept of vocation. Faculty who teach these courses make the following commitments to their students: • You are welcome—whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but not religious.” Our Christian understanding is rooted in a generous spirit of hospitality. 107 • We will treat each other with respect as we learn how to engage in conversation with one another about our different values, commitments, convictions, and faith traditions. • We will challenge and support one another to develop a mature faith for our time—open to doubts and eager to explore our questions and the realities of our world and culture. • We will equip you with basic knowledge about vocation, religion, the Bible, and Christianity as well as about Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism—their stories, claims, and key concepts. • We will deepen our study of Christianity, explore Augsburg’s claim that “what we believe matters,” and invite you to continue the process of developing your own lived theology. • We will explore the concept of vocation and our understanding that we are beloved and called to live and serve as neighbors. We will explore the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. The Augsburg First Year In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar All students who enter the College as first-year students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar (AugSem), a first-year learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. AugSem’s purpose is to help firstyear students embrace the expectations and benefits of being a member of a learning community at Augsburg College by: • Encountering the community • Engaging the learning process • Exploring the self as scholar AugSem equips students to become intentional learners, connects them to the larger Augsburg community, and helps them succeed in future college work. Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. The course linked with their AugSem introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, or service learning. Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see core skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication between diverse writers and readers. Augsburg Experience All students must complete at least one approved Augsburg Experience as a requirement for graduation. Augsburg Experiences highlight the College’s commitment to experiential education and active participation in the broader community, both locally and globally. Five categories of approved 108 experiential learning opportunities are recognized as Augsburg Experiences: internships (including fieldwork, practicums, and student teaching), faculty-student research, service learning/community service, study abroad, and off-campus immersion experiences. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential learning with academic learning. It demonstrates enhanced learning and reflects research and best practices in experiential education. Approved Augsburg Experiences meet two criteria: (1) integrate experiential learning with academic learning and (2) link on-campus learning to the goals, mission, needs, or ideas of off-campus people, organizations, and/or communities, either through community partners, professional activities, and/ or travel. Augsburg Experiences may be embedded in designated courses that are part of the regular class schedule or may be completed for zero credit outside the regular class schedule. The length of time required, credit/no-credit status, and grading options for approved Augsburg Experiences vary. Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. Students reflect on the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Most Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. The official list of approved keystone courses is found on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Senior Keystone. The Liberal Arts Foundation The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the traditional liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and Mathematics; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Humanities; and Fine Arts. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the registrar’s webpage—under the heading General Education Requirements, click on Liberal Arts Foundation. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology Humanities Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), Women’s Studies Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100, 200, or 300) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. 109 Fine Arts Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theatre Arts. One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following: • Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115) • Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121) • Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141) Graduation Skills Requirements An Augsburg education includes enhancement of certain skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, and writing skills are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill has two components: foundational skills and the application of those skills. Courses in which foundational quantitative reasoning skills are taught have a QF designation. Courses that contain an embedded project in which students apply and practice those foundational skills have a QA designation. Courses that provide both foundational skills and an application project have a QFA designation. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning QF and QFA courses. Departments may designate one required course with a QF designation and one required course with a QA designation (departments may also designate a list of QF or QA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may designate a QFA course that fulfills the Quantitative Reasoning skill (departments may also designate a list of QFA courses from which students can choose); OR, departments may list this skill as embedded. See department and program pages in this catalog, consult the graduation skills catalog supplement found online on the registrar’s webpage, or consult the department chair for more information. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver—Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Elementary Education • Health Education (teaching licensure only) • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physical Education (teaching licensure only) 110 • Physics Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver—Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/ Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: • Biology • Chemistry • Clinical Laboratory Science • Mathematics • Music Therapy • Nursing • Physics Evaluation and Grading Explanation of Grades The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via the AugNet Records and Registration website. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Pass/No Credit Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: • In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. • Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of Pgraded courses, or rank each as a C. • Maximum number of course credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is six course credits with a grade of Pass (P). • P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 tradition-ally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin Honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. • To be eligible for graduation with Latin Honors, students may elect only two P/N credits. • See P/N limitations in the Graduation Requirements section. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 111 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.5 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or S (Satisfactory) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form by the end of the term with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satis-factory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Withdrawal Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without notation on the record and before the last day to withdraw deadline. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 4.5 credits. The charge for part-time and Weekend College students is listed under Weekend College costs in the 112 Financing Your Education section on page 21. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted.* *Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of course credits completed. • Sophomores—7 completed course credits • Juniors—15 completed course credits • Seniors—23 completed course credits Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB)—Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available in the registrar’s office and on the Academic Advising website. Advanced Placement Program (AP)—Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Additional information is available on the Academic Advising webpage and from the Office of the Registrar. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)—This is a series of standardized tests that have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended 113 score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar and the Academic Advising webpage. Departmental Comprehensive Exams—These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: • There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. • There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. • The registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a P/N basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $400 for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program—This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: • There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. • The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. • The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. • The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. • The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit is available on a P/N credit basis only. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning—While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of eight credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the five assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP exams, CLEP exams, IB exams, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English Language Learners (ELL) Students whose primary language spoken at home is not English must take the ELL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test prior to registering for their first term at Augsburg. Students’ placement in ELL, ENL 101 Developmental Writing, or ENL 111, HON 111, or ENL 112 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (85-100 range for 114 exemption from ELL courses) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English Language Learner’s course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade earned in the class will determine whether additional ELL coursework is required. Usually a score of 85 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student’s ELL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENL 217/218 until such time that they pass the ELL placement test at 85 percent or higher. The ELL course can be counted only twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ELL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the Modern Language Core Skill requirement for graduation. Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation; however, certain majors require a higher minimum GPA. A student will be placed on probation and considered for continuation or dismissal if: • His/her cumulative GPA is below 2.00 • He/she is a first-year student who receives two (2) zero or No Pass grades • He/she is a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three (3) zero or No Pass grades • At the end of their first term, he/she has not fulfilled the requirements established through the Conditional Admit Program (refer to the Academic Skills Office Conditional Admit Program (CAP) section of the catalog). Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of a student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration used when deciding whether to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Students on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College must receive permission from the Student Standing Committee to re-enroll. Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to his/her commitment to academic success. A student will be removed from probation if: • His/her cumulative GPA reaches 2.00; or • He/ she was placed on probation because of unfulfilled Conditional Admit Requirements and he/she subsequently satisfies those requirements. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he/she may appeal the decision to the Student Standing Committee within 10 school days. Specific appeal instructions are included in the letter of dismissal. Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as Social Work, Education and Nursing. A student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is available at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/. Dean’s List The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, lists undergraduate students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.50 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a 115 Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program’s calendar (e.g., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day student or in a semester term by a weekend student) are not calculated when determining the Dean’s List. If permission has been given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper for those students on the Dean’s List. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a baccalaureate degree. This designation and the standards set are in effect for all students who complete degree requirements in May 2004 or later. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00 GPA plus successful completion of the summa oral examination Magna cum laude: 3.80-3.89 GPA Cum laude: 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 14 traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted). For additional information, including the guidelines for the Summa Cum Laude oral examination, go to the Latin Honors section at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Graduation and Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic accomplishment. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. The May commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program and for students in the Physician Assistant Studies graduate program. The June commencement ceremony is for students in the other five graduate programs as well as undergraduate students in Weekend College, Rochester campus, and the Partner Hospitals program. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring term; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall terms immediately following commencement. Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 116 13454 Sunrise Valley Road, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.degreeverify.org Phone: 703-742-4200 Fax: 703-742-4239 E-mail: degreeverify@studentclearinghouse.org Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for veterans education. Veterans should consult with the V.A. certifying official in the Office of the Registrar about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. Additional information about veterans education benefits can be found at www.gibill.va.gov. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Notice The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records—You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records—You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information —You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”—FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed 117 below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates); • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office—You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Clery Act The Clery Act Annual Report for Augsburg College contains statistics on reported crimes on and near Augsburg property and campus, as well as institutional policies concerning campus security and crime. The report is available online at www.augsburg.edu/dps/security/report.html. For a printed copy, contact Augsburg’s Department of Public Safety at 612-330-1717. 118 Departments and Programs As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Course Descriptions Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals, and its place in the College’s program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, day classes are offered fall and/or spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The schedule of classes offered through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) for fall and spring terms is only available online. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for the Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Nursing, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, Master of Social Work, and Doctor of Nursing Practice courses are published in a separate Graduate Studies catalog. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for onehalf or onequarter course credit, are offered. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course is valued as four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most day program courses meet for three 60minute periods or two 90minute periods per week with additional time required for laboratory work. All full credit Weekend College courses meet for eight threeandonehalfhour sessions during fall and for seven fourhour sessions during winter and spring terms. Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are lower division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for firstyears, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course 119 description as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Some prerequisites (such as ENL 111, math placement, and critical thinking) cannot be waived by the instructor. NOTE: Not all courses are offered in all schedules. Refer to Augnet Records and Registration for information on when specific courses are offered. Internships and Independent Studies Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional statements that can be found in the departmental course listing. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. Internships Registration for internships consists of the following steps: 1. Obtain the internship registration permission form and secure the signatures of the faculty supervisor and director of the Strommen Career and Internship Center. 2. Register: Turn in the completed internship registration form (with all signatures) to the Enrollment Center. You must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience. 3.

It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves. At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity grow from the diversity of ideas of a small campus in the heart of a major metropolitan area. A solid foundation of drawing, design, and history is balanced with the development of technical skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of media. On-campus galleries showcase the work of students and professional artists. Small class sizes and an innovative faculty support creative curriculum in disciplines like drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, photography, hand papermaking, book arts, architecture, and digital media. Galleries and museums surround us; art club, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time; service learning, internships, and study abroad are integral to our program. We reach nearly 1,000 students a year from all disciplines, and we graduate 25-30 majors annually with BA degrees in art history, studio art, art education; we also offer an architecture minor and certificates in studio art and digital design. For nearly half a century, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at Augsburg College. We’re excited to be here in the center of the city. We think you will be, too.

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

A certified public accountant (CPA) focuses on external reporting; a certified management accountant (CMA) focuses on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Both the CPA and CMA designation have an experience requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination after graduation. Effective May 2006, students will need to complete the equivalent of 150 semester hours of education to be licensed as Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). This can be completed in four years through accelerated undergraduate work. Another option is to complete a four-year bachelor’s degree plus a master’s degree.

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

CSC 499 Independent Study/Research 196 Economics—ECO The Department of Economics offers a program that stresses a strong theoretical background, quantitative analysis, and an emphasis on national and international issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. The department offers six majors. The economics major and the applied economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. The Mathematical Economics major is designed for students who intend to attend graduate school in economics or another quantitative field such as finance or operations research. It is also intended to serve students who would like to work in quantitative fields immediately upon graduation, e.g., research analysts or actuaries. Computational economics provides a liberal arts entry into the field of computer science. The combined economics/ business administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in political science/economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and make choices. An economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider economics as a major or a minor. Students are able to combine an economics major with other disciplines such as business administration, international relations, mathematics, management information systems, political science, history, and area study programs. Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively oriented graduate program in economics or in business are encouraged to either major or minor in mathematics. These students should also take courses in computer science. Consult an adviser for specific course suggestions. Augsburg offers degrees in economics, applied economics, business and economics, computational economics, and economics and political science (education majors only.) For the economics and applied economics majors, the capstone experience is Economics 490 Research Methods in Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their adviser for other alternatives. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the internship office before registering for academic credit. Note: Transfer students must complete at least three upper division economics courses for a major and two for a minor. Transfer classes must have been completed in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0 grade.

Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg engineering adviser is necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg engineering adviser. Contact Jeff Johnson, Physics Department, 612-330-1070. University of Minnesota The College of Science and Engineering and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (BA/BE) enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the College of Science and Engineering. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the College of Science and Engineering may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Bachelor of Arts/Master of Engineering (BA/ME) enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the College of Science and Engineering. The curriculum is the same as the BA/BE curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the BA/ME program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the College of Science and Engineering staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the BA/ME program are not guaranteed admission to the College of Science and Engineering. Michigan Technological University This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Michigan Technological University in a five-year period. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the engineering adviser of Augsburg College. 218 Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Michigan Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg engineering adviser. Financial Aid Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineering school of their choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Degree and Major Requirements Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual-degree or three-two programs: CHM 115 CHM 116 CSC 170 ENL 111 PHY 121 PHY 122 General Chemistry General Chemistry Structured Programming Effective Writing General Physics I General Physics II Four mathematics courses are required: MAT 145 Calculus I MAT 146 Calculus II MAT 245 Calculus III MAT 369 Modeling and Differential Equations or PHY 327 Special Functions of Mathematical Physics Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 24 courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146 and PHY 121, 122 are taken in the first year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351, 352. 219 English—ENL Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps all of us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life’s complexity, experience life as others do, and better understand the world in which we live and work. Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of four concentrations: Literature, Language and Theory; Media Writing; Creative Writing; and Secondary Licensure in Communication Arts/Literature. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. The Augsburg Department of English integrates its program with the cultural opportunities of this vital urban area. Augsburg students can walk to assigned or recommended plays, films, and readings available near the campus. English majors have the opportunity to use and refine their skills through working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language Learners (ELL) students, or tutoring in the writing lab. Students with an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses. English Faculty John Schmit (Chair), Stephan Clark, Robert Cowgill, Cass Dalglish, Suzanne Donsky, Douglas Green, John Harkness, Colin Irvine, Dan Jorgensen, Dallas Liddle, Kathryn Swanson, Mzenga Wanyama, Cary Waterman, Susan Williams Degree and Major Requirements Choosing a Concentration The English Literature, Language, and Theory concentration provides students various approaches to the life-enhancing study of the written word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and provoke discovery of new literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and post colonial literatures reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. While some of our courses foreground theoretical approaches to literature and deeply examine race, class, and gender in the consideration of their subject matter, all of our courses infuse these concerns into their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, film, and drama. 220 All literature classes involve students in dynamic and enjoyable literary examination, and are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing — skills of the educated and employable citizen. The literature, language, and theory concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, Theatre Arts, and Women’s Studies. The English Writing concentration is for students who intend to develop professional skills in either creative or media writing. Over the course of their study, students will master terminology; understand historical, legal, and ethical issues relevant to the field; and study the works of established writers and professionals. The writing major emphasizes expanding competencies in observation, research, and analysis that enable writers to gather material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work. Writing majors will understand the interdisciplinary demands inherent in creative and media writing (including issues of design) and will enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities inherent in the writing life. Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors who are practicing writers themselves. The writing concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with Art, Communication Studies, and Theatre Arts. The Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure major is for students who seek to be licensed to teach in Minnesota in communication arts/literature. Students are encouraged to take courses toward their major during the first and sophomore years, and to apply for the education licensure program no later than the spring of their junior year. Students in both programs must work with advisers in the English department and the education department in order to meet the professional requirements within the education department as well as the requirements for the major.

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

Environmental Studies Courses ENV 100 Environmental Connections An interdisciplinary introduction to current environmental issues. The course depends on ecological visions of the world and examines the connections we share as people living simultaneously in human community and in physical environments. In examining these connections, we depend on the insights offered by political science, biology, economics, literature, sociology, chemistry, and history as well as experiential education and servicelearning. The issues examined in this class—neither remote nor abstract—exist in our everyday lives, and a central feature of the course is the application of knowledge gained in the class to a campus project. (Social and Behavioral Sciences LAF, fall) ENV 490 Environmental Studies Independent Project An independently-designed project (approved by the program director and a committee of three environmental studies faculty representing at least two academic divisions) that displays a student’s ability to synthesize interdisciplinary approaches, demonstrate higherlevel learning, and examine vocational issues through the study of an environmental problem.

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

Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theatre, and art perfomances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact Robert C. Groven, Honors Program Director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Honors Program Recognition Students who finish the Honors Program requirements satisfy all general education requirements, except those for physical education and modern language. Honors students also receive special transcript notation, special graduation recognition, résumébuilding positions, and special access to academic advising and career options. Honors Admission Requirements and Academic Scholarships Students with a demonstrated record of achievement are eligible to enter the Augsburg Honors Program.

Student Leadership Opportunities: Students elected to leadership within their Honors House may serve as House Presidents or serve in other program leadership positions. The House Presidents sit on the Honors Student Presidents Council and make critical decisions about program courses and resources. Student-Created Learning Experiences (SCLE) Honors students may learn through established courses or through student-created learning experiences. These student created experiences may substitute for Honors curricular requirements, or may simply enrich a student’s education. Such student-created experiences may count toward requirements in majors and satisfy Honors requirements, or simply be an elective course. Student-created learning experiences may take almost any form. Some possible forms include: • Student-created courses (created in collaboration with faculty) • Full course (10-20 students) • Reading Groups (2-9 students) • Individual Reading and Examination (individual study) • Student/Faculty Research (may be one or many students) 255 Process: A student-created learning experience may be proposed by any Honors student or by any Augsburg faculty or staff person.

The department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, Norwegian, and Spanish, as well as an interdisciplinary major in Cross-Cultural studies. Introductory courses in Ojibwe, Farsi, and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Greek are available to Augsburg students through the College’s affiliation with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities colleges. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines.

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

The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world. As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies prepares students for life beyond college. Because of its emphasis on precise reading and analysis of texts, careful writing, and spirited discussion, the major in Medieval Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, critical and abstract thinking, and processing information. Medieval Studies Faculty Phillip C. Adamo (History, Program Director), Kristin M. Anderson (Art), Mark L. Fuehrer (Philosophy), Douglas E. Green (English), John Harkness (English), Martha B. Johnson (Theatre Arts), Merilee I. Klemp (Music), Philip A. Quanbeck II (Religion), Bruce R. Reichenbach (Philosophy), Mark D.

HIS 369 meets the Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill. Transfer students must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Minor Five courses including HUM 120. The remaining four courses must be in different disciplines, as grouped above (history, literature, religion/philosophy, and history of arts). Other Requirements Language Requirement Students must take one year of college-level Latin or other medieval language approved by their adviser, which will fulfill the Modern Languages Graduation Skills requirement. Augsburg Experience As with all majors, an Augsburg Experience is required for graduation. For the Medieval Studies major this might include study abroad, or internships at the University of Minnesota’s Rare Books Collection, the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, or the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Prior approval of adviser is required for all Augsburg Experiences related to Medieval Studies. Courses HUM 120 Medieval Life in 12th-Century Europe (Medieval Connections) This is the introductory course for Medieval Studies. It uses an interdisciplinary approach to study European culture during a period known as the High Middle Ages, roughly AD 1100 to 1300. It attempts to examine medieval culture as a complex system of thought and feeling, which includes history, religion, philosophy, literature, art, theatre, music, and food. It also takes an experiential approach to this material, for example, by having students and faculty attend class in academic regalia, just as they did in medieval universities. (Humanities LAF, Spring) For other course descriptions, refer to the specific departments elsewhere in the catalog. 295 Metro-Urban Studies—INS Metro-Urban Studies is the study of cities as social, political, economic and cultural entities. MetroUrban Studies brings many different perspectives to the study of urban life. It is an interdisciplinary major where students use the tools of sociology, political science, history, environmental studies and architecture to understand metropolitan areas in terms of complex relationships that contribute to both opportunities and challenges. The major is designed to utilize the city as our classroom, demonstrating the interplay of theory, policy and lived experience. Metro-Urban Studies coursework often includes walking tours, field trips and field research. Augsburg College’s Metro-Urban Studies Program emphasizes the theme of planning metro areas to be more environmentally sustainable and be places that promote the health and civic engagement of citizens. The Metro-Urban Studies major helps prepare students for careers and graduate work in urban planning, public administration, environmental studies, government, community organizing, social welfare and non-profit work, and architecture. All students participate in internships that reflect their career interests as part of the keystone experience. Many students who major in Metro-Urban Studies double-major in related disciplines such as Environmental Studies, Political Science or Sociology. If you’re interested in double-majoring, please consult the Director of Metro-Urban Studies about how to best plan your academic schedule to accommodate both majors. Metro-Urban Studies Faculty: The following faculty teach courses in the Metro-Urban Studies Program. Nancy Fischer (Director, SOC), Kristin Anderson (ART), Andrew Aoki (POL), Kevin Bowman (ECO), Lars Christiansen (SOC), Keith Gilsdorf (ECO), Michael Lansing (HIS), Garry Hesser (SOC), and Joseph Underhill (POL).

This equivalency program prepares students for eligibility to take the Music Therapy Board Certification Examination. Depending upon the student’s degree and skill level, individual requirements will be outlined by the director of music therapy. There is a minimum two-year residency requirement, which includes participation in a major ensemble for four terms and successful completion of a two-year music theory equivalency test. For acceptance to the degree program, equivalency/certification students must: • Complete sophomore/transfer music major jury & music departmental degree application • Complete the piano and guitar proficiency requirements during the first semester of residence Departmental Honors Senior music majors with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher in music courses may apply for music departmental honors by completing extended original work in their area of interest. Such work could include, but is not limited to, one of the following: defending a senior thesis, presenting an additional recital, composing a substantial piece(s), conducting a program, presenting a research paper, or some combination of any of the above. Consideration for departmental honors requires a clearly written proposal that includes a project title, a transcript, and a brief music resume to be submitted to the music faculty by November 1 of the senior year. Examinations Piano Proficiency All Augsburg music majors are required to have basic piano skills that meet the standard required by the Piano Proficiency Test offered at the end of each semester. Students come to Augsburg with a wide variety of prior training and experience in piano, and therefore can elect to develop their piano 309 skills and prepare for the proficiency test in several ways. Students with extensive training may be able to simply pass the test; those with some training may register for private piano lessons; the majority of students are advised to take a piano placement test that determines their appropriate placement within a sequence of four class piano courses (MUS 135/136/237/238) designed to teach the skills of the piano proficiency test. To maximize student learning, it is strongly recommended that piano training is started during the freshman year, when piano study will complement and strengthen the student’s experience in the music theory and aural skills curriculum. Consult the Music Student Handbook for piano major and non-piano major requirements and test dates. Music Repertoire Tests These four tests are intended to encourage students to become lifelong listeners by requiring students to familiarize themselves with many of the masterpieces of the classical music repertory from the Middle Ages to today. Consult the Music Student Handbook for the lists of pieces required by all four repertoire tests and the call numbers for the repertoire test CDs at Lindell Library. Each academic year a specific repertoire test is offered twice: once at the end of the fall semester, and again at the end of the spring semester. Music majors are required to pass three music repertoire tests, transfer students must pass two, and music minors must pass one. Music Courses Many music courses are offered alternate years.

A bachelor’s degree prepares nurses for the rapidly changing health care arena. No longer do nurses practice only in hospitals. They are moving into communities, corporations, parishes, and schools, as well as their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses are making a difference in community health and well-being by providing comprehensive health care for diverse groups of persons across the life span. The BSN program at Augsburg equips nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of nursing. Educational opportunities are provided to challenge students’ interests and engage their creativity as they increase skills in critical thinking, community assessment, leadership and decision-making. Classes that combine short-term study away and abroad are woven into the BSN curriculum and students are invited to participate in these exciting endeavors as they are able. Augsburg’s BSN program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate through the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Nursing Faculty Cheryl Leuning (Chair), Marty Aleman, Katherine Baumgartner (Coordinator BSN program in the Minneapolis/St. Paul), Ruth Enestvedt, Joyce Miller, Sue Nash (Coordinator BSN program in Rochester), Joyce Perkins, Pauline Abraham, Kathleen Welle (Coordinator of Augsburg Central Nursing Center) Degree and Major Requirements Major Seven courses including: NUR 300 Trends and Issues in Nursing NUR 305 Communication NUR 306 Paradigms in Nursing NUR 403 Families and the Life Cycle NUR 410 Community Health Nursing I NUR 411 Community Health Nursing II NUR 490 Leadership/Management A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and a cumulative major GPA of 2.50 are required. Students also must complete Augsburg’s residence and general education requirements. The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the required courses in the nursing major and are met by completing the major. Students petitioning to transfer in upper division nursing courses from another institution to meet 325 requirements in the nursing major at Augsburg must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these graduation skills. The program has been planned so that courses in the nursing major can be completed over 15 months (full-time study, two courses per term) with a summer break; however, students may pursue their studies at a slower and more flexible pace. Courses in the nursing major are offered on weekday evenings with a practicum course (NUR 411) requiring additional weekday time. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of liberal arts (general education) courses needed to complete the BSN degree, and the number of credits transferred from other colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take non-nursing courses in both day school and Weekend College. Students interested in pursuing the nursing major should consult with BSN admissions staff in the Adult and Graduate Admissions Office for program planning. Departmental Honors Admission to the honors major requires: a GPA of at least 3.60 in the major and 3.30 overall, application to the department chair by November 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and honors thesis to be presented before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement. Note regarding Latin honors: To be eligible for Latin honors, a student must meet minimum GPA standards as well as complete a minimum of fourteen traditionally graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than two elective pass/no pass graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/ N by the department will not be counted, nor will “N” grades). For further information, see the Latin honors section on page 61. Admission to the Nursing Major In addition to meeting admission requirements for Augsburg College, admission to the nursing major requires the following: • Completed application • Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in the basic nursing program • Unencumbered RN license – must be a registered nurse who is licensed and currently registered to practice in Minnesota prior to beginning the nursing major • Evidence of HIPAA training • Up-to-date immunization records • Federal criminal background check Special conditions: • Students may be provisionally admitted to the bachelor of science in nursing program at Augsburg due to a cumulative GPA of less than 2.50 in their basic nursing program. Full admission to the program requires students to achieve a GPA of 3.00 or better in two liberal arts courses at Augsburg. • Students may apply to Augsburg College prior to completion of their degree program provided all admission requirements are met prior to enrolling at Augsburg. Credit for Previous Nursing Courses Registered Nurses (RNs) transferring into Augsburg College’s BSN Completion program will be granted six (6) course credits (24 semester credit hours) in recognition of their previous lower division 326 nursing coursework if the following standards are met: • Prior nursing education in the United States is taken in an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program or a Diploma in Nursing program. Both must be a state board-approved program. • Nursing coursework taken outside of the United States is submitted for evaluation to the World Education Service (WES), an agency approved by Augsburg College to evaluate foreign transcripts. Reports should be sent directly to Augsburg College. In addition, nursing coursework must be verified for authenticity by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Applicants must request CGFNS (www.cgfns.org) to forward the educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Students who change their major and transfer out of the B.S. in Nursing completion program will lose the six-credit block grant and their transfer credit evaluation will be reassessed. The six credit block grant will be applied toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing only. Options for Completing the Degree Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a nursing degree. Nursing courses at Augsburg are available evenings and weekends. Nursing classes usually meet on alternate weekday evenings for four-hour time blocks. Clinical practicum requirements usually occur on weekdays. Optional immersion practicums abroad are scheduled throughout the year. Check with the Department of Nursing for details. It is recommended that most liberal arts courses be taken before starting the nursing major. Nursing majors can complete courses toward the baccalaureate at the Minneapolis campus and in Rochester, Minn.

NUR 495 Topics in Nursing (optional) Provides opportunities for in-depth exploration of selected topics in nursing. The subjects studied will vary depending upon the interests of the faculty and students. NUR 499 Independent Study/Research (optional) Note: If NUR 411 is not taken immediately following NUR 410, students are required to consult with faculty prior to registration regarding review of the theoretical content. Students who decelerate for more than five years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is a fee to audit courses. * This course involves an additional clinical tuition and 48 clinical practicum hours. 328 Philosophy—PHI Philosophy is in an important sense the most fundamental of the disciplines. All of the sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, philosophy is concerned with asking and answering the “big” questions that are the most basic. For example, Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the best? What is knowledge and what are its sources? Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by the study of philosophers from the past and present. The philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, religious ministry, or journalism.

The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill can be met by taking PHI 230. Transfer students must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Major in Computational Philosophy In addition to a major and minor in philosophy, the philosophy department also offers a crossdisciplinary major in conjunction with the computer science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent logical and philosophical 329 background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See Computer Science for course listing. Departmental Honors Admission to the philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student’s choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department. Philosophy Minor Five courses, including two from PHI 241, 242, 343, and 344. Philosophy Courses PHI 110 Introduction to Philosophy This course introduces students to typical philosophical questions (how we know, if we can have certain knowledge, if there are universal moral principles, whether God exists, the nature of the mind, etc.), to philosophical vocabulary, and to critical thinking and what it means to view the world philosophically. PHI 120 Ethics By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical approaches to evaluating moral actions and then applies them to contemporary issues. The Christian tradition will inform the considerations. Students who receive credit for PHI 120 may not receive credit for PHI 125. (Prereq.: Pass CT assessment of GST 100) PHI 125 Ethics and Human Identity A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, emotions, and action with respect to the pursuit of happiness.

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

The role and significance of authority and power in human affairs establish the focus of political science. Augsburg political science students have the benefit of experienced faculty that teach courses in all major areas of political science, and also possess special expertise in campaigns and elections, immigration and ethnic politics, urban and environmental politics, economic development, comparative and international politics, mass communications and other information technology, and American public law. Grounded in the diverse and international community around our college, the department directly engages the world and issues around us. Political scientists use systematic inquiry and analysis to shed light on the dynamics of a whole range of phenomena, including elections, wars, poverty, human rights, regime change, and migration. Our majors explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze and compare political systems, and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, our students are encouraged to relate insights from other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, economics, history, and sociology to the study of politics. Providing work in several subfields of political sciene, the major supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in political science, public administration, public policy analysis, law, and other professions. It also serves as a foundation on which to develop careers in public service, business, communications, and other fields. Legislative and other internships, as well as significant independent research projects, are within easy reach of Augsburg political science students in the Twin Cities area. Combined with broad, balanced, and flexible course offerings, these special opportunities enhance the student’s potential for graduate study and a successful career.

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

The study of religion at Augsburg College invites students on a search for meaning, challenging them to explore their own religious beliefs and those of their neighbors, gain a broader view of the role of faith in public life, and better understand our global context. As an academic discipline, religion probes many of life’s critical questions: • Who are we as human beings and where did we come from? • Why do bad things happen? • How can we live meaningful lives? • What happens after we die? • How do our values shape our choices? • What is our responsibility to others? • What texts are sacred and how should we read them? • How can we encourage cooperation and respect among people of different faiths? Students begin their search for meaning in the AugCore courses REL 100, 200, or 300. Here they learn to articulate their own beliefs and understand that what they believe really matters. Students engage in a close reading of the Bible and other sacred texts, study their historical contexts, and apply these insights to contemporary social issues. They also explore their own gifts and how they might be used in service of the broader community as they pursue a life of vocation. Students are invited to deepen their pursuit of these questions by choosing a major or minor in religion, which offers a wide range of courses in theology, biblical studies, and world religions. As a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Augsburg faculty and staff are eager to engage in dialog with Christians from all denominations, with people who practice other faith traditions, and with those who claim no particular beliefs. Faculty in the Religion Department represent several Christian denominations and model respectful dialogue with students from a variety of faith perspectives. We challenge all of our students to respect and learn from one another and to think critically about matters of faith and reason in our lives together. Religion Faculty Philip Quanbeck II (Chair), Lori Brandt Hale, Bradley Holt, Russell Kleckley, Lynne Lorenzen, Mary Lowe, Beverly Stratton, Mark Tranvik, Hans Wiersma, Karl Jacobson, Matthew Maruggi, Jeremy Myers General Requirements Majors The Religion Department offers two majors: Religion (REL) and Youth and Family Ministry (YFM). Prerequisites Religion 100 (or 300 for advanced transfer students) is prerequisite to all other courses. 356 Graduation Requirements Courses designated REL and YFM are offered by the religion department. A maximum of 13 total REL and YFM courses may be applied toward the 32-course requirement for graduation. Taking extra electives in REL or YFM may require students to complete more than the minimum 32 courses required for graduation. Transfer Courses All transfer courses for majors and minors, including ACTC courses, must be approved in writing by the chair. Only courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. In general, courses that meet the transfer guidelines may only be applied to elective credit for the major. Students who have taken an approved introductory course in Bible and/or Christian theology at another college may take REL 300 in place of the College REL 100 and 200 requirement; consult the registrar’s office. Advising All majors must have an adviser in the department. Departmental Honors GPA of 3.50 in the major and 3.00 overall, research project approved by the department, and colloquium with the department. Application must be received by the department by Dec. 30 of the student’s senior year. 357 Religion—REL A religion major provides a strong foundation in the liberal arts and prepares students for professional work and graduate studies in a wide range of fields. Since the major requires only eight courses, students are encouraged to double-major in a related field. Students considering seminary should attend two Bible courses, and one course in theology or church history. Students planning on graduate studies in Religion ought to complete one Bible course, a world religions course, and the Philosophy of Religion course. A religion major also provides strong preparation for graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, church history, and related fields. The major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently, skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools. Degree and Major Requirements Bachelor of Arts Religion Major Eight courses including: REL 200 Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning II or REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation REL 210 Research Methods in Religion REL 495 Religion Keystone Five additional electives Note: Keystone, especially for majors, should be taken in the junior or senior year.

An interdisciplinary social studies major is available for persons holding a bachelor’s degree and seeking licensure only. Consult with Anne Kaufman for details. Students considering a career in social studies education should consult, as soon as possible, the Augsburg Department of Education and the social studies coordinator. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. Students should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. 368 Social Work—SWK Students in social work are preparing to engage in professional practice with individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations. Students learn to become skilled at designing change strategies with clients that promote individual change, social justice, and empowerment. The curriculum includes classroom instruction, agency practicum, social work skills development, history of social work and social welfare in the United States, analysis of social welfare policy, and social science research. In and out of the classroom, students study privilege and oppression and engage with diverse communities. In the end, our students are prepared to practice in multi-cultural settings. Those graduating with a social work major receive a Bachelor of Science degree in social work and are eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. Students interested in a graduate degree in social work (MSW) are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work program. The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program, reducing the number of credits needed. Both the baccalaureate and graduate social work programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Social work graduates embody the Augsburg College motto, “Education for Service.” One example of this motto in action is the extensive service learning and practica assignments embedded in the social work curriculum. Students begin service learning early in their major and engage in over 400 hours of agency based training, supervised by licensed social workers. The Twin Cities offers a variety of innovative and professional programs and agencies. Students are encouraged to train with and learn from these local, regional, and national leaders in social work.

[Spring] Internships and Independent Study Courses SWK 199 Internship SWK 295 Topics: Special themes in social work specified in subtitle. SWK 299 Directed Study SWK 399 Internship SWK 499 Independent Study/Research 374 Sociology—SOC Sociology is the scientific study of society and of human social organization in groups. The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how human beings come to think and act as they do. The goal of the department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of the social order, an understanding of how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their careers. Sociology majors develop a critical understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. Students are encouraged to select study abroad, internships, independent study, and field studies as electives. The department urges students to use Augsburg’s metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships and service learning enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in research, law, management, and human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in the criminal justice field, and as professors of sociology. Others have used the major as preparation for advanced study in areas such as the ministry, social work, urban planning, and human services. Sociology Faculty Lars Christiansen (Chair), Nancy Fischer, Garry Hesser, Diane Pike, Tim Pippert, James VelaMcConnell Degree and Major Requirements Major Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an excellent undergraduate major that applies to a number of fields from human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The foundation of the major at Augsburg is that it provides a clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the major, and integrates and reinforces a challenging set of important skills; those skills include abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, basic research, integration of theory and data, and the connection of the individual and collective perspectives in the unique way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students. The electives allow students to choose courses that add other skills related to areas of career interest. The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper division courses from the specified list below: Core major: SOC 121 SOC 362 SOC 363 SOC 485 SOC 490 Introduction to Human Society Statistical Analysis Research Methods Sociological Theory Senior Seminar 375 At least three of the following upper-division courses (Prereq.: SOC 121): SOC 320 SOC 349 SOC 375 SOC 377 SOC 381 SOC 387 SOC 390 SOC 399 Sociology of Law Sociology of Organizations Social Psychology Organizational Crime and Deviance City and Metro-Urban Planning Juvenile Delinquency Social Problems Analysis Internship Two additional sociology electives Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or higher in each required course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in the major. The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements. Interest Tracks In order to focus preparation for careers and further study, the Department offers Interest Tracks within the major. These interest tracks are: City and Community; Crime and Deviance; Law; Organizations; and Social Psychology. The Interest Tracks guide majors in selecting elective courses in a way that tailors their sociological training, experiences and skills. Working with an advisor and following the guidelines and recommendations provided at the links below, sociology majors can design a pathway through the major that directs them toward careers or graduate work in criminal justice, law, organizational development, public relations, social services, and urban studies. Students who are interested in pursuing an Interest Track should discuss this with their adviser or the Sociology Department Chair. A full description of each Interest Track may be found at the Sociology Department website http://www.augsburg.edu/sociology/. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. Departmental Honors To complete departmental honors in sociology, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the major and overall. See department chair and website for specific requirements.

This course explores these and other questions through various sociological theories of work and labor in modern society. (Fall) SOC 231 Family Systems The term family is a universal concept, yet its membership, rituals, and functions vary dramatically across world cultures and sub-cultures in the United States.

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

If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg College and an Augsburg education, welcome. I believe you will find it not only tells you about the character and essence of our institution, but also about our mission of service, particularly about those whom we serve in a modern, vibrant city.

As you study here, you will find a setting that not only provides remarkable learning opportunities, but one in which you will be able to share your own talents and skills.

Pribbenow, Ph.D. President 2 About Augsburg At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new experiences, and of new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. Discovering Your Gifts and Talents The heart of an Augsburg undergraduate education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg’s prime locations in the heart of thriving metropolitan areas, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities and Rochester are extended campuses for Augsburg students. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. History A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, WI, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. Early Leaders Establish a Direction August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway— Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years. 3 Education for Service Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.” In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The Focus Changed Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen. The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954. A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. A College in the City Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city of Minneapolis. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice Arena, and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library. Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Augsburg’s Rochester campus was added in 2002, further expanding Augsburg’s presence in key cities in the state of Minnesota. Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world. 4 Campus Location Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota West Bank campus and the University of Minnesota Medical Center. Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s leading companies as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is blocks from the METRO Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the Minneapolis International Airport. 5 Augsburg Today Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:    An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church. Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative, and successful citizens. The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor. Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers numerous master’s degree programs as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information about graduate programs, go to www.augsburg.edu/grad. Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, MN. Centers of Commitment The four Centers of Commitment articulate core values that inform the institutional mission of Augsburg College both internally and externally: each Center provides a bridge between curriculum and community; each works to realize the College's Strategic intention to "educate for lives of meaning and purpose" as well as to ensure the College is "at the table" with community partners in relationships of mutual benefit that enhance the College's distinctive identity and deepen the educational experiences of our students. Their themes are reflected in Augsburg's mission: informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. Minneapolis-based Day Program Augsburg’s Minneapolis-based Day program offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). The program provides an educational opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree in a traditional weekday format. This five-college consortium allows Day Program students to take courses on other campuses without additional charge while a fulltime student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. Adult Undergraduate Programs Augsburg’s Adult Undergraduate Program provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a bachelor’s degree with a flexible schedule and with a learning environment that acknowledges the real life experience adult students bring to the classroom. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional studies. The Weekend and Evening College (WEC) program began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. The program eventually grew to approximately 1,000 students in 18 majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, one of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges. In Fall 2014, the WEC program began a three year transition into the Adult Undergraduate Program (AU). Current students may continue in the WEC program until spring semester 2017. New students began joining the AU program in Fall 2014. 6 Program Transition Timeline WEC classes will continue to be offered on the evenings and weekends through spring semester 2017. After that term, the program will sunset and all courses will be offered in the AU program. During the transition, WEC students will be able to register for courses in the WEC, AU, or Day programs, depending on their schedule needs. WEC courses will continue to be offered in the hybrid learning model, combining traditional, face-to-face class time, with online and out of class coursework. Adult Undergraduate Schedule The AU schedule is designed to meet the needs of adult students. Courses in individual majors will meet on the same night of the week, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule for the duration of the major. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon,” and “Silver”. Students select courses from both the maroon and silver schedules, creating an alternating schedule of classes. Face-to-face meetings occur on alternating weeks for three-and-a-half hours on either Tuesday or Thursday, depending on the program. Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Additional classes outside of the major program may be scheduled on Monday or Wednesday weeknights. AU students may take from one to four courses each semester. Minneapolis Campus Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program offers the flexibility you need, and is delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. The program offers more than 10 majors designed to help you finish your bachelor’s degree quickly and efficiently, in as little as two years. Augsburg also offers several additional majors that are available through evening, in-class courses, such as American Indian studies, computer science, English/creative writing, and others in the Day Program. For a complete list of degree completion programs offered in the AU Program visit www.augsburg.edu/pro/majors. Rochester Campus Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered. The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart of the city, which is home to more than 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior technological resources. In Rochester, Minnesota, students complete the same degree requirements as students in the Minneapolis undergraduate program. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings, making them accessible to working adults. As with the adult undergraduate program in Minneapolis, Rochester class are delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. There are 8 majors offered in Rochester, some of which must be completed by taking courses at the Minneapolis campus. In addition to the degree programs that can be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester and Minneapolis-based evening courses. Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One such exception which permits disclosure without consent is for disclosure to 11 school officials who have legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the board of regents, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information” FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following:               The student’s name The student’s address The student’s telephone number The student’s e-mail address The student’s date and place of birth The student’s major and minor field of study The student’s academic class level The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT) The student’s participation in officially-recognized activities and sports The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates) The weight and height of members of athletic teams The student’s dates of attendance Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student The student’s photograph Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Registrar’s Office must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, US Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC, 20202, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA.

Payment Options Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts. Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage, www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/sap-policy. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements student and family resources. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations. Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). 18 Augsburg may offer both merit-based and need-based financial aid to undergraduate students at the time of admission. First year students can find specific information at www.augsburg.edu/firstyear/scholarships and transfer students can find information at www.augsburg.edu/transfer/financial-aid-and-scholarships. Augsburg will also determine students’ eligibility to receive financial aid grants from both federal and state entities. These grants include Minnesota State Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Pell Grant, Federal TEACH grant, and Bureau of Indian Affairs/Tribal and State Indian Scholarship. Contact Student Financial Services if you need any additional information about any of these programs. In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, and Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children, and other sources. Loan Assistance Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans    Federal Perkins Student Loan o A federally-funded program administered through Augsburg College for students who demonstrate financial eligibility. No interest accrues nor do payments have to be made on the principal at any time you are enrolled at least half-time in school. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal (at the minimum of $40 a month) begin nine months after you leave school. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. The loan offers a teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study is $16,000. Federal Stafford Student Loan o Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by paying the interest while the student is in school and during the grace period. o For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan). Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS) o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet college costs of their dependent children. Parents may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins within 60 days of final disbursement. Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/loans. Student Employment Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed. All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee.  Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program o Under these programs, the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College to provide part-time work opportunities. 19 Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid. Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress 1) Minimum GPA Requirements Undergraduate Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record. 2) Minimum Credits Completed Undergraduate Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A completed credit has a grade of 4.0 – 0.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (Withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N (Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat courses and remedial courses are not counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. 3) Maximum Time Frame To demonstrate academic progress, undergraduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length of the program. In the CORE Curriculum, a student needs a minimum of 32 credits to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. For those under the CORE Curriculum, they may not exceed attempting 49 credits. For students under the Perspectives and Skills Curriculum, a student cannot exceed attempting 52 credits. A student who reaches the 150% maximum time frame to complete their degree due to a change in major will need to notify the Student Financial Services Office in order to continue to receive financial aid. Monitoring and Evaluating Progress In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning or Financial Aid Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP standards. Financial Aid Warning A student who fails to meet SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the following term of enrollment. Students placed on Financial Aid Warning will still be eligible to receive financial aid if they submit an academic plan. Financial Aid Warning will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Warning will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Warning who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. Financial Aid Suspension A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement and/or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. A student on Financial Aid Suspension is ineligible to receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid. Financial Aid Suspension will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or successfully appeals. Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Suspension does not meet SAP standards. Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid 20 may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s). Right to Appeal Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final. If a student’s appeal is approved they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. If a student’s appeal is denied they will remain on Financial Aid Suspension and will remain ineligible for financial aid. Financial Aid Probation A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Suspension and successfully appeals SAP will be place on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation will be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Probation will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Probation will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Probation who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. Student Account Financial Disclosure Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records and Registration. Augsburg College may require someone to co-sign on the students’ obligations in special cases, such as when a student has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure. Results of Balances Not Paid in Full Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year (.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000 owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. Past Due Accounts If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it. Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection agency or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third 21 parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg College, or its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full. Tuition Refund Policy Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date, students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) 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. Medical Refund If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Unofficial Withdrawal Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website. A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively. The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include, but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300. Financial Aid Policy Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date. 22 Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a “W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes. Financial Aid - Return of Aid Policy Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes, or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course. Federal/State Aid Adjustments Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned. Institutional Aid Adjustments Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid. Credit Refund Policy Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid) and applied to a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending) before the credit refund can be issued. Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds. Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed. Bookstore Policy Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $600 to their student account. Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year. Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; plan ahead for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds are issued. If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you purchase books if you need to discuss payment options. Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. 23 Third Party If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request. Additional Funds If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $600 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing. Subject: Request for additional funds Full Name: Student ID number: Additional request: Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation. Consumer Information LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DUE TO A DRUG OFFENSE A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco. A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student. A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows: For the possession of illegal drugs: First offense: one year from the date of conviction. Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction. Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction. For the sale of illegal drugs: First offense: two years from the date of conviction. Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction. A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate, clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the ways in which the student may regain that eligibility. Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:  The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government program. 24    The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court. The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed insurance company. The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor. Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or regulations 25 Residence Life Program Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library, classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name. Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher grade point average. Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities. Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or issues. Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with hook-ups for telephone, cable television, computers, and internet access. A skyway connecting the lobby of Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center and Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps students out of the weather on the way to class. To secure housing on campus, students need to submit the following items:   Housing deposit Residence Life and Dining contract During spring semester, current Augsburg students are provided with information on the process to secure housing for the next academic year.

Students on a meal plan have the option of using one meal exchange every week to supplement the Commons. 27 Student Activities and Organizations Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening, or weekend, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. Athletics and Sports Intercollegiate Athletics Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in lacrosse, volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf. Facilities At Augsburg, the facilities are for all students, faculty and staff. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena. On-campus facilities include a double-rink ice arena, a 3-court gymnasium, a multi-purpose athletic field, fitness center with workout machines, a weight room, a racquetball court, and an air-supported dome over the athletic field for winter fitness, rentals, and spring sport practices. Intramurals Every student is urged to participate in activities for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Check schedules on the Athletics website for times when there is open use of the athletic field/dome, gymnasium, and ice arena. Campus Activities and Orientation Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education. CAO is made up of four program areas: 1. Campus Activities CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with the Augsburg and surrounding community. 2. Student and Group Leadership Development Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg College by empowering first-year students to cultivate and apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skill-building training program. Student Group Development-CAO provides student groups with workshops focusing on social justice, privilege, antioppression, and other pertinent areas of development. 28 3. Orientation Programs SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of life on campus. Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of first-year students that runs concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their students on campus. Transfer SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will learn about College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding. Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day students, which is designed to complement SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in starting at Augsburg College. 4. Student Organizations CAO manages student organizations on campus and provides them access to many benefits, including but not limited to: organization emails, websites, Auggie's Nest lockers, Auggie Room supplies, skill-building workshops and conferences, advising, funding and grants, and much more. Campus Ministry As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual care is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Daily worship, Wednesday Night Holy Communion, Bible studies, community outreach, retreats, peace and justice events, concerts and gatherings, and interfaith initiatives are examples of the wide varieties of activities on campus. At Augsburg College, we are “guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church.” Because of this identity, we seek to develop an environment where people are encouraged to use and discover gifts and a sense of call and vocation. As a college of the church, we emphasize the development of this through attending to the sacred, living into radical hospitality, and shaping community. The college pastors and campus ministry staff have offices in Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information. Community Engagement The Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, rooted in Augsburg’s mission to educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders, aims to:    Create a culture of civic agency and engagement among students, faculty, staff, and our broader community so that graduates are architects of change and pioneers in work of public significance. Foster connections with local community based organizations and position Augsburg as an anchor institution in the Twin Cities. Revitalize the democratic and public purposes of higher education in a time when strengthening colleges’ visible contributions to the common good, not simply to private benefit. Bonner Leaders Program In Fall of 2008 Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program. Through the Bonner program, students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their time at Augsburg. Those selected to be Bonner Leaders are students with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and 29 experience in community and public work. Through placements with partner nonprofit organizations and community programs, students work an average of 220 hours each academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an employment education computer lab, coordinating a low-income housing program, community health outreach, tutoring in afterschool programs, and more. Beyond their work-study placements, students participate in civic engagement efforts on campus. Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders Program, students engage in monthly guided reflections and leadership development workshops. The Augsburg Bonner Leaders Program is a successful model that builds on the College’s culture of community and civic engagement. Campus Kitchen The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger neighborhood by using food as a tool to nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service learning. To accomplish these goals, four programs focus on this engagement:     Food to Share o Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Augsburg students in need can also find free food at our food shelf on campus, the Campus Cupboard. Food to Grow o On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of nearly 100 garden plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food. Food to Buy o Find fresh produce grown by local farmers at the weekly farmer’s markets Tuesdays through the summer: 11-1 pm at Foss Chapel on campus, and 2-5 pm at the Brian Coyle Center down the street. The market doubles any purchase made with food stamps. Augsburg is also the host of an organic CSA farm that people can become members of and get a large box of produce each week. Food to Know o Understanding our food system and community health through programs that educate on issues of hunger and poverty, and cooking and gardening classes in the community and weekly on campus. Common Table The Common Table, located at 2001 Riverside in the Trinity Congregation Building, is devoted to building community capacity to make change by connecting and equipping leaders.       Connecting campus community with neighborhood community. Connecting students to local communities, professionals, and movements. Connecting community members across boundaries at an intersection. Equipping young people with the mentorship and connections to pursue their goals. Equipping community members with the tools and experience of public work and organizing. Equipping leaders with an equity analysis for equitable leadership. We continue to welcome new ideas for utilizing this multi-purpose space to deepen the relationships between Augsburg College, Trinity Lutheran, the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, and the Twin Cities. Jane Addams School for Democracy The Jane Addams School for Democracy brings immigrant families, college students and other community members together to do public work and learning. It is a community-based initiative inspired by the vision of democracy, productive citizenship, and popular education held by settlement house pioneers like Jane Addams, who created Hull House in Chicago in 1889. 30 Participants in the school include long-time community residents, Hmong, Latino, and East African refugee and immigrant adults and children, as well as students, faculty, and staff from nine Twin Cities colleges and universities. The non-bureaucratic and non-hierarchical structure of Jane Addams School breaks down barriers so that people can work together across language, culture, gender and age differences to address issues that impact their daily lives. Public Achievement The Public Achievement organizing model recognizes that people of every age have skills, talents and ideas, and that by learning to work strategically with others they can solve problems and build sustainable democratic societies. In a school setting, young people form teams to take action on a public problem that is important to them (for example, driving out gang activity or improving classroom space). The team works with a coach—typically a teacher or college student—to develop an action plan. Through practice and reflection, the team members develop public skills and confidence. Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring programs, and literacy centers. Fine Arts Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theater Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of oncampus workshops with visiting arts professionals. Student Center Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse populations of residential, commuter, Adult Undergraduate, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of curricular and co-curricular programs and activities. Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the Admissions Office, Campus Activities and Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Multicultural Student Services, LGBTQIA Student Services, Event and Conference Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services. The Auggie’s Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student organization office area and houses the Augsburg Day Student Government, the Augsburg ECHO (campus newspaper) office and the KAUG (campus radio) office. Lockers are also available in this area for student organization use. Student Government The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Adult Undergraduate Student Advisory Council organizations support and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official student governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg College. 31 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Library and Information Technology Services The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success.

Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus. Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work Career & Internship Services The Career and Internship Services office is an integral component of the Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work. Our staff is committed to helping students develop lifelong career management skills that honor each student’s unique gifts and aspirations, aligned with active citizenship in the world. The Career and Internship Services office plays an essential role in students’ overall education and includes a comprehensive resource center that emphasizes the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration of vocation throughout their college years. 32 We help students and alumni:          Assess their values, interests, personality, strengths, and skills Explore meaningful work options and majors that align with these elements Link academic majors with career paths Consider the role that vocation plays in their lives Clarify their personal definition of meaningful work Build experience through volunteer and internship learning opportunities Prepare for the job search and/or graduate school Build lifelong career management skills to successfully navigate the changing job market Make a difference in our communities by contributing their unique gifts to the world Augsburg offers several opportunities for students to gain on-the-job and internship experience. Our faculty and staff have developed partnerships with community organizations and employers that provide learning opportunities to students, many of which fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement for graduation. Internships    Internships for Academic Credit o An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. A learning agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students complete internships in nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, schools and churches. o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Students must be registered for their internship during the term in which they are completing the majority of their experience. Credit will not be awarded for past experiences. Internships can be registered for 2 or 4 semester credits. A two credit internship involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 6 hours per week or 80 total hours for the semester. Internships for four credits require a minimum time commitment of, on average, 12 hours per week or 160 total hours for the semester. A maximum of 16 semester credits of internship may count toward the total credits required for the degree. Upper division internships completed off-campus for credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. Non-credit internships o Internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit internship (AUG EX3) to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. The goal is for students to apply theory to practice in a real world setting and reflect on the experience. Internship opportunities are typically part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during the summer, but may have flexible start dates and schedules. Students choosing to complete this option will register the internship during the term in which they will be completing the experience, set learning goals, complete a minimum of 80 hours, and reflect on their experience. The Director or Internship Coordinator of Career and Internship Services supervises non-credit internships and evaluates the reflection process. Work Connections (Available to WEC and AU students only) o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to WEC/AU students who are currently working full or part-time. The Work Connections option allows WEC/AU students to utilize their rich and often extensive work history to meet the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement in lieu of a traditional internship. WEC/AU students choosing to complete this option will register for the Work Connections course (AUG EX4) during the term in which they intend to complete their reflection work. This option requires students to write learning outcome goals that integrate their on-the-job experience with classroom learning and complete reflection assignments describing an academic and work connection. Staff of Career and Internship Services supervises and evaluates the Work Connections reflection process. 33 Gage Center for Student Success The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units: Academic Advising The Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising works in support of faculty advisors to guide students in identifying academic interests and satisfying the curricular requirements of the college. Our office assists new Day and Adult Undergraduate (AU) students with initial course selection and registration, and provides orientation to the academic policies, procedures, and resources at the College. In addition, Academic Advising administers assessment tests, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree planning resources, and answers academic progress questions. All incoming students are assigned a faculty and staff advisor. Staff advisors work closely with students to ensure their understanding of available resources and support. As students become more familiar with the College, they spend more time meeting with their faculty advisor and developing the faculty-student mentoring relationship. Once a major is declared, each student will select a faculty advisor from their chosen discipline by completing the Change of Major/New Advisor Form. While all students are required to meet with their faculty advisor(s) each term prior to registration, students are encouraged to meet with their advisor(s) as often as necessary to support their academic progress. Students must declare their major(s) by the end of their sophomore year. Majors and minors are declared online in Augnet Records and Registration. Students confirm their majors and minors on an annual basis until the Intent to Graduate form is submitted. Academic Skills Office (ASO) The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become self-directed learners. Comprehensive academic support (e.g., training in time management, note-taking, reading, testing, motivation/procrastination, problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all Augsburg students through individual and group appointments. In addition, the Academic Skills coaches address affective needs and aid in the overall transition to college. Coaches also refer students to campus resources. The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:     Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services o ASO coordinates free tutoring (individual and group drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction in specific courses. Tutors and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to provide tutoring support. Conditional Admit Program (CAP) o Each year, a limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP students do not meet the program requirements, they will be continued in the CAP program, placed on probation, or dismissed. Get more information at the Academic Skills Office website, http://www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures. Probation Advising o Students placed, continued, or returned to academic probation are required to meet with an approved academic advocate. A registration hold is placed on the student's record, which will prevent registration, until the student completes the probation requirements. Students who do not fulfill the necessary requirements of their probationary status will be continued on probation and/or dismissed. For more information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at http://www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures. Augsburg Advantage at St. Kate’s (AASK) o Based on their application for admission to Augsburg, the Augsburg College Admissions Committee selects students for the AASK program--a collaborative effort between St. Catherine University (St. Kate’s) and Augsburg. The program assists students with the transition from high school to college with specific courses 34 o o o and supportive programming. The program provides participants with the opportunity to complete similar coursework that first-year students complete at Augsburg on an even smaller campus with more faculty support. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis campus of St. Catherine University and have access to both campuses for support, resources, and activities. Upon successful completion of the first year (student must complete a minimum of 28 semester credits), students are guaranteed sophomore status and will have fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg requirements. To complete the program, in order to “transition,” students are required to:  Complete all required courses (30 semester credits) including Foundations of Wellness (at Augsburg) with a minimum 3.0 GPA and no course grade below 2.0 or P.  Satisfactory completion of all Critical Competencies at St. Kate’s  Attend all seminars and transition events at Augsburg and St. Kate’s  Complete transition application and recommendation process with advisor at St. Kate’s by March 15.  Complete the Summer Transition Program (one course and all programming) in the second summer semester at Augsburg after completing the first year at St Kate’s. A second year program, which would allow students to earn an Associate of Arts degree from St. Catherine’s University, may be an option for students who are unable to transition after their first year in the AASK program. Students should contact SCU and Augsburg advisors if interested in this option. Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students with physical disabilities such as TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments, and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences. Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include:      Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking) Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the college faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs. CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation.

In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called Exploring Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith, learning, service, and work. Over the years, the program has helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a wide variety of short-term projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning. These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or church leadership. When Exploring Our Gifts ended in summer 2010, the College created a permanent center—the Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation—that keeps vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision. This center continues many of the earlier initiatives and carries on the work of promoting discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students, faculty, and staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community. For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit www.augsburg.edu/ccv. StepUP® Program The StepUP program at Augsburg College strives to help students champion lives of recovery, achieve academic success, and thrive in a residential community of accountability and support. The culture of StepUP is shaped by its values: recovery based on spirituality, 12-step mutual support groups, and other proven pathways to healthy recovery; personal responsibility, integrity, and living a balanced life; educational success; giving back through servant leadership; thriving in a community that is an alcohol- and drug-free environment; and developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions. Students live in on-campus recovery housing, have individual support meetings with licensed alcohol and drug counseling staff, and participate in team and community-building activities. Students have access to academic skills specialists and other support services on campus. Participation in StepUP offers students leadership opportunities within 38 the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. In StepUP, students join together to form a community in which recovery is celebrated as a normal part of personal growth. Many of the friendships and bonds students form while participating in the StepUP program last a lifetime. In order to qualify for the program students must be committed to a 12-step or other proven, abstinence-based recovery program, have a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide by the StepUP contract, and live in StepUP housing.

The association organizes various activities during the academic year to increase the network of friendship and support for Asians, other students at Augsburg, and the surrounding community. Pan-Afrikan Center The Pan-Afrikan Center (PAC) traces its roots to the 1968 event, “One Day in May” when Augsburg students compelled faculty and staff to respond to Civil Rights era challenges pro-actively through sit-ins and teach-ins held on and off campus. As a result, Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved over the years into the PAC. Today, the PAC is primarily a resource center, providing culturally-conscious personal, academic, financial, pre-professional and transitional support for students of African descent. This serves to enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduation of our students and facilitates a more meaningful learning experience.

Currently, Augsburg’s CGGE has active exchanges in China, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Lebanon, Norway, and Slovenia. Students can choose from several options in diverse disciplines. All coursework is in English with opportunity to student the host country language. Travel scholarships are available for these programs. For further information on these programs and scholarships visit the CGEE website. 45 Faculty-led Short-term Programs Faculty-led winter break, spring break, and summer programs offer opportunities to intensively study on a course abroad with an Augsburg professor and other Augsburg students. Program travel length ranges from eight days to five weeks. Program offerings change annually. Scholarships are available for some programs. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) Augsburg, in consortium with other colleges and universities, offers full semester programs in Ecuador, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the USA (Twin Cities and Jackson, Mississippi). All HECUA programs explore civic engagement, community, and social change, and emphasize internships and field study. For more information on international HECUA programs, see the Center for Global Education & Experience Programs and Urban Studies sections of the departmental pages of this catalog. Art for Social Change: Intersections of Art, Identity and Advocacy—Spring Using the vibrant arts scene of Minneapolis and St. Paul, this program immerses students in the study of artists and communities using art to inspire social change. A wide variety of creative practices are embraced as essential tools for civic engagement, participatory democracy, and direct action. Through lively dialogues in classroom seminars, field visits with the Twin Cities' most influential community-based artists, and a professional internship, Art for Social Change students explore how art and culture impact communities and how creative work (performance, writing, visual art, music, etc.) has the power to address pressing social issues and make them visible and real. The program uses current events and recent history to examine subjects like social and cultural identity, war, racial injustice, poverty, and ecological devastation. As a class, students grapple with questions like: What is the role and responsibility of the artist in response to these issues? How can art bring people together across difference? Can art save lives? What are the ethics behind community based-art? How do you use/introduce/infuse art in communities that are not your own? Is art a necessity or a luxury? Throughout the semester students meet with a wide variety of local artists, educators, and arts advocates, in addition to attending performances, films and installations that evoke deeper investigations into these questions Community Internships in Latin America (Ecuador)—Fall or Spring The Community Internships in Latin America program, based in Quito, Ecuador, offers a semester of study experience with a focus on community participation and social change. A hands-on internship designed to meet the learning goals of the student is combined with a seminar, independent project, and a homestay for an intensive immersion into Latin American daily life and culture. Models of community participation, organization, development, and social change are compared and contrasted. Students learn firsthand about the social problems in Ecuadorian communities and explore ways in which communities are addressing these challenges. All lectures, internships, and field projects are in Spanish, with discussions in Spanish and English. Readings are mostly in Spanish. Papers may be written in English or Spanish. Environmental Sustainability: Science, Public Policy, and Community Action—Fall The most pressing environmental challenges today are global in scale and require scientific, creative, and systems thinking to understand their root causes and forge more just and equitable solutions. This semester program based in the Twin Cities gives students the opportunity to learn the science behind key environmental issues such as ecosystem degradation and rehabilitation, explore the intersections between social and environmental justice, and participate in public policy and community–based strategies to achieve sustainability. Students explore the histories of land and labor and the present state of environmental justice with engagement with Native American communities and activists in Northern MN, and with communities of color working on urban environmental issues in the Twin Cities. Rather than simply outlining the vast challenges we face, this program gives students meaningful ways to translate what they are learning into hopeful practice and to find their place in a vibrant mosaic of local actors working to build more resilient and just communities and systems. Students intern at one of the many vibrant environmental organizations in the Twin Cities. 46 Inequality in America: Policy, Community, and the Politics of Empowerment—Fall or Spring In this Twin Cities-based semester program students actively delve into major challenges of our time: poverty, inequality and social change. The program pursues three major framing questions utilizing a number of relevant and contested theories to frame the discussion throughout the semester. What are some of the root causes of increasing levels of economic, political, social inequality and insecurity and how does this impact all social classes and groups in the United States? How are economic, political, and social inequality reproduced? How do we create more opportunity for all Americans squeezed by economic, political, and social inequality and what are some concrete social change tools for making these changes? To answer these questions the program looks at the economy, housing systems, education, welfare, government policies, urban sprawl, regional race and class segregation, and institutional discrimination. Connecting these issues is at the core of the program. In professional internships, students work hands on to explore solutions in organizations committed to social transformation. Students have direct conversations and work with practitioners in government, the private sector, nonprofit social change organizations, academia, labor unions, schools, and other community institutions that in one way or another claim to be addressing some aspect of economic, political, and social inequality and poverty. New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future—Fall Beginning with five weeks of travel across the North Island and ultimately based in Wellington, this program examines how social and environmental factors shape political and ecological dimensions of identity and culture, and how New Zealanders from many different backgrounds are envisioning and creating a shared future. During the trip and in Wellington, students learn about the history of colonization, the treaty and the truth and reconciliation process that shape contemporary life, Maori protest and social movements, key strategies used to achieve sustainability, new agricultural practices, and many more economic and environmental topics. Students intern at a NGO in Wellington, working in wildlife conservation, environmental advocacy, sustainability, transportation, water quality, cultural pluralism, or human rights. Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Fall or Spring The Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change program examines the historical, political, and religious roots of conflict in Northern Ireland, the prospects for peace, and the progress being made. Through a seven-week internship, students get hands-on experience with organizations working for social change. Field seminars focus on human rights, conflict transformation, and education for democracy. The program is based at the International Conflict Research Institute at Ulster University (Derry/Londonderry), and on facilitated trips, students compare that region of Northern Ireland to the “borderland” area and to Dublin. Race in America Then and Now: “Post-Racial” Perspectives on the Civil Rights Movement —Summer This Civil Rights program explores that era’s struggles as well as current movements for equality, and dares to ask controversial questions about racial justice in America today. The program is based in Jackson, Mississippi, and is offered in collaboration with the Fannie Lou Hamer National Institute on Citizenship and Democracy at COFO on the campus of Jackson State University, one of America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The New Norway: Globalization, National Identity and the Politics of Belonging—Fall In less than 50 years, Norway has become one of the richest nations in the world and increasingly multicultural. Twentyfive percent of Oslo residents, for example, are not ethnic Norwegian. The program investigates dramatic changes in Northern Europe by examining the contemporary challenges and opportunities for the Scandinavian welfare states in an age of globalization and mass migration. Core topics include globalization and multiculturalism, nation-building and national identity, governance and political party systems, European integration, racial thinking, histories of racialization, the rise of the populist/far-right, international aid politics, and gender. Questions framing the program include: How might Norway and the other Scandinavian welfare states adapt to the challenges of multiculturalism, European integration and globalization? What factors have made possible the rise of populist / far-right parties in Scandinavia and what has been their impact on politics and society more generally? How have film, literature and social movements challenged conventional understandings of what it means to be Norwegian/Scandinavian? Students study Norwegian language or do an independent research project, and also intern with a leading NGO. 47 Writing for Social Change: The Personal, the political and the Power of the Written Word—Fall This semester program located in the Twin Cities is based on the longstanding tradition in Western culture of using literature as a tool for social critique, as a means of calling for social change and justice, and as a tool for social transformation. The program combines traditional methods of literary and cultural analysis with creative writing workshops in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, and makes use of HECUA’s approach to interdisciplinary, reflective critique. The program explores the ways creative writers and literature impact communities, and examines the role creative writers and literature play in addressing pressing social issues, focusing on “voice” and the idea of claiming voice as a means of empowerment. Writing for Social Change combines critical, analytical seminars, creative writing workshops, field study, and a professional internship into an integrated, experiential learning opportunity. Internships are with a Twin Cities nonprofit, and may be related to writing and spoken word with young students in educational settings, journalism and creative storytelling for underrepresented voices, communications or grant-writing at arts organizations or social justice nonprofits, or opportunities in publishing or journalism. Augsburg Affiliated Programs The Center for Global Education & Experience maintains a robust portfolio of affiliated programs to enhance the global education offerings available to Augsburg students. These affiliated programs allow Augsburg students to study disciplines and locations that lie beyond CGEE’s signature, exchange and short-term faculty-led programs See website for listings. Application Process In order to study abroad or away in the USA students should follow the P-A-C-K steps: Profile: Get Started by creating an online profile. Advising: Attend an advising meeting—check CGEE website for times, location and online modules Choose: Choose from more than 300 Augsburg and affiliate programs in the USA and in more than 90 other countries. An advanced online search tool helps students find programs based on location, academic needs, and personal interests. Applying online is easy—click "Apply Now" and follow the simple steps. Key Dates: Keep track of application deadlines. Application Deadlines September 30 - Spring semester, winter-break and spring-break faculty-led programs January 31 - Summer Session faculty-led programs March 1 - Fall semester and other summer programs Program provider deadlines vary; students need to meet all deadlines and eligibility requirements set by program providers. Students should start planning in their first year for off campus study to be sure to do appropriate research and meet all deadlines. Academic Requirements and Credit Students automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on approved study abroad and study away in the USA. Courses taken abroad can also fulfill graduation requirements including major, minor, language, Liberal Arts Foundation, Lifetime Activity, Honors, and internship requirements. This is determined prior to departure when students fill out the required Course Equivalency Form which is signed by faculty advisor(s), Assistant Registrar, department chairs and assigned faculty to approve the course equivalencies. Credits, Grades and Residency     Students must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs. Students must take courses graded A-F while abroad. Grades received on affiliated and most exchange programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and thus are not figured into the GPA. A grade of “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg. 48  Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year meet the Augsburg residency requirement as students remain enrolled at Augsburg while abroad. Faculty-led Short-term Programs Students must register for all courses required by the short-term program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the specific program credit load with the Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE) Office. Any courses removed by the student without CGEE permission prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded. Eligibility Following are Augsburg College’s requirements for Study Abroad and Away in the USA:      Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with CGEE. Sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you off campus. First-year students on a case-by-case basis may be allowed to study at Augsburg’s Center for Global Education & Experience program-Mexico site during their second term at Augsburg. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student receives approval from the faculty-leader and if space allows. Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus. Students must be in good academic and social standing. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after admittance to the off-campus study program may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all non-recoverable program costs incurred. No outstanding balances on student account Note: Students applying to faculty-led programs who meet the above criteria are accepted to these programs on a first applied, first accepted basis. Space is limited, so early application is important. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of semester off-campus study is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and off campus study fees. Airfare, personal expenses, books, and other expenses are not included in the price of semester programs. Program costs vary; Augsburg College pays the program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access their financial aid for off campus study. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition plus living and travel expenses when studying abroad. Students who receive financial aid, loans, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package to cover their off-campus study program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., President’s, Regents’, Legacy, Promise, and other Augsburg gift aid/scholarships, and tuition benefit) may use their scholarships to study off campus multiple times on Augsburg programs (see below in off-campus study program section). However, institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward off-campus costs on an affiliate program. Cost estimates for the time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students studying abroad. Additional scholarships are available for semester and academic year programs. The cost of short-term faculty-led programs is typically comprised of tuition (for summer programs), meals, airfare, ground transportation, and interpretation/translation services. These costs are on top of any semester/year tuition charges. Some scholarships are available, but are limited for short-term programs. Students often apply loans to fund the additional cost of education travel. Students are required to notify CGEE immediately if they choose not to continue with their off-campus study experience. At the moment of notification, non-recoverable costs and a cancellation fee will be assessed and charged to the student account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal, students may owe nothing; or they may owe the offcampus study fee, the deposit, or some or all of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and refund policies of CGEE and their program provider. 49 Disabilities CGEE and the Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) work closely with students with disabilities to make every effort student needs are met while studying off-campus. Nevertheless, students are responsible for requesting accommodations within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection. Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made. Scholarships The Center for Global Education & Experience offers a range of scholarships and financial aid to students with demonstrated financial need and whose participation in a semester or summer academic program contributes to a community of co-learners that values a variety of cultures and backgrounds. In academic year 2014-15, CGEE awarded nearly $20,000 in discounts and scholarships.         CGEE Global Education Scholarship. Augsburg students automatically receive a $1000 scholarship on our Semester programs at our sites in Central America, Mexico and Namibia/Southern Africa. This scholarship is also available to students who participate on our semester exchange programs in designated countries (China, Finland. Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Korea, Lebanon, and Norway) The Diversity Scholarship is for students who have not traditionally been represented in study abroad, specifically ethnic minority and LGBT students. Awards cover up to $6,000 off the cost of a semester program abroad. The Need-Based Scholarship is available for students with demonstrated financial need. Awards cover up to $2,000 of the cost of a semester program abroad. Augsburg students receive an “Auggie Discount” of $1,000 on their first semester program (the Returnee Scholarship will apply for the second program). PJSA Member Discount is available for students whose home school is a member of the Peace and Justice Studies Association. Automatic award of $500 toward a semester study abroad program in any CGE location. This discount cannot be applied to the Social Work in a Latin American Context program. Returnee Scholarship: Automatic discount of 10% off a second semester program for students who combine two semester programs during their college career. There are no forms to submit for this discount. Summer Discount: Students who participate in a full semester program in Mexico will receive a 10% discount off a summer session (before or after the semester program). CGEE Global Affiliate Scholarships are also available. These scholarships generally ranging from $500-$5000 are provided directly through our affiliate partner programs. Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes, workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg College. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the College and community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education, Nursing, Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office of the College Board. Augsburg College is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. 50 Honors Program The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu (612-330-1560) or Phil Adamo, Honors Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Also see the Honors Program in the departmental pages of this catalog. Inter-Institutional Programs Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs. Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC) Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private college’s library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to more than 2.5 million volumes and media resources of the 14 libraries. Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) Full-time Day students at Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which an Augsburg student has cross-registered is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not at the host ACTC institution. Students may elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus. AU/WEC/ROCH programs are not part of the ACTC consortium, and students in those programs may not register for ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements. Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Ecuador, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs in the International Programs and Urban Studies sections of the departmental pages of this catalog.) McNally Smith College of Music Augsburg College full-time Day students may elect to take one course each semester at McNally Smith College of Music (MSCM) providing that they meet all MCSM requirements. This program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their advisors to confirm if the classes will count toward graduation requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be used as a substitute for any Augsburg course specifically listed within a degree program. 51 Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg-McNally Smith exchange are considered Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which a student has completed through the exchange is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not McNally Smith. Air Force ROTC Augsburg Day students interested in participating in the Air Force ROTC program must apply for admission to the unit at the University of St. Thomas. Students are eligible to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information contact the University of St. Thomas at www.stthomas.edu/afrotc. Army ROTC Augsburg Day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information, contact the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities at www.goarmy.com/rotc/schools/university-ofminnesota. 52 Academic Policies and Procedures Registration A student must be registered for a course in order to earn credit. All registered courses will be reflected on a student’s AugNet Records and Registration page. Web registration through AugNet is the primary method of registration, although registration can be processed through the Registrar’s Office with a Registration Form in instances where online registration is not possible. Students are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their registrations. Students are required to meet with their faculty advisor prior to registration for the fall, spring, and summer terms. As some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisors when planning their academic program. Specific registration dates and deadlines for each semester are listed in the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Students who are missing prerequisites for a course may be eligible for a prerequisite waiver if, after discussion with the course instructor, the instructor determines that the prerequisite learning objectives have been met. Students who believe they have already completed the prerequisite in question should contact the Registrar’s Office at 612-330-1036 or registrar@augsburg.edu. The following registrations cannot be completed online and must be processed with a Registration Form:       THP courses (Theater practicum courses) 100-level MUP courses (Variable-credit music lessons) Student Teaching (Education Department approval required) Independent Study and Directed Study (Independent Study form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage) Internships (Internship Registration form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage) ACTC courses (Course listings are available online through each ACTC institution and should be checked to verify the correct meeting times and room assignment.) Credit Loads Full-time day students normally register for 16 credits per semester. Students in the AU/WEC/Rochester programs typically register for 4-8 credits each semester. Students registered for 12 or more credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. Students registered for at least 6 credits are classified as half-time students. To register for more than 18 semester credits, students must petition the Student Standing Committee unless the following apply: Students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 to 3.49 may take a total of 20 semester credits without petitioning; students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 22 semester credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done through a Registration Form. (Note: For students in the Day program there is an additional tuition charge for course loads over 18 semester credits. This includes combining the credit load from both the DAY and WEC programs. Auditing classes over the 18 semester credit limit will also incur a tuition charge.) Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Policy Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit an Academic Petition. Internship Registration Registration of internships for credit consists of the following steps:  You must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience. 53  Obtain the Internship Registration Form from the Registrar’s Office webpage and complete the steps to obtain the required signatures. o Complete Site Supervisor Agreement form and Position Description: Submit the internship site supervisor information and approved job/internship position description through an online form on the Strommen Center website. o Faculty Signature: Requires finding a faculty member willing to supervise and approve the internship based on major discipline requirements. o Department Chair Signature: Requires approval that the proposed internship experience meets the major discipline requirements. o Internship Coordinator or Director of Career and Internship Services Signature: Requires attendance at an Internship Orientation session offered by the Strommen Center OR an individual meeting with the Internship Coordinator or Director in the Strommen Center to review important college-wide internship information and ensure all required documents have been submitted. Once the completed internship registration form is submitted to the Enrollment Center, additional requirements for internships for credit include:    Complete a Learning Agreement Plan (available electronically on the Strommen Center webpage) and receive approval of the learning goals from the faculty supervisor responsible for grading the experience. The online form is sent to the Strommen Center and copies are sent to the faculty supervisor and student. Academic assignments (journals, reflection papers, etc.) as determined by the faculty supervisor and/or department guidelines. Complete final evaluations (sent out electronically at the end of the semester). The student and the site supervisor will each complete an evaluation of the students’ internship experience. Results will be sent to the faculty supervisor and student. A complete step-by-step guide on requirements for internships for credit is available on the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work webpage. Independent/Directed Study Registration To register for an Independent/Directed Study, complete and submit the Independent/Directed Study Registration form with signatures of the faculty member responsible for the grade and the chair of the appropriate department Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. For drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Crossover Registration Policy (This policy is approved for the 2015-2016 academic year and is subject to review for the 2016-2017 academic year.) Undergraduate students are enrolled in a home program (DAY, AU, ROCH, WEC) and may register online for fall and spring semester courses outside of their home program based on course availability and subject to the restrictions listed below by program. Students have registration priority in their home program. Students are charged the tuition rate of their home program for crossover courses. DAY Program Students - Are permitted to crossover into WEC courses. - Pay the overload fee for any credits over 18 in their combined DAY/WEC load each semester. AU Program Students - Are permitted to crossover into DAY and WEC courses. 54 ROCH Program Students - Are permitted to register for AU and WEC courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait until Crossover Registration begins. WEC Program Students - Are permitted to register for DAY and AU courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait until Crossover Registration begins. Registration in Graduate Courses Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. (An exception is made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint BA Accounting/MAL.) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay the graduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay the rate of the program in which the course is offered (DAY/AU/ROCH/WEC). Evaluation and Grading Explanation of Grades The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via AugNet Records and Registration. Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit grading system. The following is an explanation of undergraduate grades: Grade 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 FN P N V W I X Explanation Achieves highest standards of excellence Achieves above basic course standards Meets basic standards for the course Performance below basic course standards Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course), student stopped attending Represents work at 2.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) No credit (not counted in grade point average) Audit Withdrawn Incomplete In progress, extended beyond term of registration Pass/No Credit Grades Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned:   In order to receive a grade of P, a student must meet the basic standards of the course and/or achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. 55    Maximum number of semester credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P). P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 56 traditionally-graded semester credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. To be eligible for graduation with Latin honors, students may elect P/N grading for no more than eight semester credits. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading option must be made according to deadlines published in the Academic Calendar each semester. Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must submit a completed Application for Incomplete Grade form by the end of the semester with the Registrar’s Office. This form states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic semester. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic semester, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one semester. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first semester of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the semester in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Withdrawal (W) Grade A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade and before the last day to withdraw. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of FN, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned for the most recent attempt, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Auditing Courses Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time Day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 18 credits. The charge to audit a course is $1,000 for parttime DAY/AU/ROCH/WEC students. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations, 56 attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with 0.0 to 4.0 grades assigned. Assessment of Student Learning The faculty at Augsburg College are actively engaged in research about student learning and the efficacy of the curriculum. To support such assessment of student learning activities, faculty may collect student work for evaluation beyond grading. Any information or student work collected will be treated confidentially; the student's identity will not be public information. Students who do not want their work collected for assessment purposes can opt out by contacting Dr. Amy Gort, Dean of Arts and Sciences. Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of semester credits completed. Classification Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Completed Semester Credits 0 – 27.99 28 – 59.99 60 – 91.99 92 or more Academic Status Changes Change of Program Students may apply to change their “home program” by completing a Change of Program form. Applications are reviewed by a committee. If approved, the change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to once each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins. Withdrawal from College Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in failing grades on their official academic record. If necessary, students should instead submit a Withdrawal from College form. A Withdrawal from College form may be obtained on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The deadline to file a Withdrawal from College is the last Friday prior to finals week. Withdrawal from College and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students must be re-admitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form is also available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Students are responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of their current mailing address while away. Leave of Absence (DAY Program Students) Students in the Day Program may apply to for a Leave of Absence for one semester. The Leave of Absence allows continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Records and Registration. If a student on a Leave of Absence does not register for the subsequent semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an 57 Application for Readmission form in order to re-enroll. The Leave of Absence program is not available to Day students who withdraw from all courses while their courses are in progress. Term Off (AU/WEC/ROCH Program Students) Students in the AU/WEC/ ROCH Programs may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees upon verification of call to active duty. Students must submit an Academic/Financial Petition and provide a copy of their orders to the Registrar’s Office. If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the Registrar’s Office will place a W for the course(s) along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control. Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or to work out an incomplete agreement. Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refunds adjusted to reflect this. Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the Registrar’s and/or the Office of Academic Affairs as soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process. Academic / Financial Petitions The Student Standing Committee is a standing committee of the College that reviews requests to waive fees, reduce tuition costs, or other alterations in contractual agreements. Representatives from Financial Aid, Residence Life, the Registrar’s Office and Student Affairs serve on the committee. Petitions for tuition refunds must be submitted within 6 months of the student dropping the course or withdrawing from the class. Petition Process Step 1: Forms may be found on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Step 2: Fill out the Academic/Financial Petition completely. Requests will not be reviewed unless all documentation is submitted with the petition. Step 3: Return the completed petition as directed. Catalog Applicability Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg. Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg. Second Majors and Degrees Students with an existing baccalaureate degree from Augsburg or another institution may enroll to complete an additional major(s) or minor(s). Students will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original degree awarded (BA, BM, BS). Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn both a BA in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Science, but may earn a BS in Computer Science and a BA in Computational Philosophy. 58 Evaluation of Transfer Credit The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Registrar’s Office and is based on a student’s official transcript(s). College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmental-remedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on an individual basis. The Registrar’s Office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence Requirements section of the catalog.) Augsburg College limits transfer credit from two-year colleges. Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester credits (96 quarter credits) from two-year colleges. Once a student reaches this credit limit, no additional credits will transfer from two-year institutions toward the minimum number of semester credits required for a bachelor’s degree. However, courses taken beyond the credit limit can be used to meet liberal arts and major requirements. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Students should consult with their academic and faculty advisors and the Registrar’s Office before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. Additional resources about transferring credit are available on the Registrar’s Office website. MnSCU Transfer Students Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 100). Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer program, the MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 100), and will waive one of two Health and Wellness requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C– or better. Transfer courses that equate to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level math, and modern language must have a grade of C or better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer program, the AA degree and MnTC must be completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg. Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students are advised to consult an academic advisor in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C– grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors. Advanced Transfer Students Students who enter Augsburg with 52 or more semester credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below:     Waiver of Search for Meaning II Waiver of Augsburg Seminar Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis Waiver of one Health and Wellness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation) All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students. Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for courses completed after initial enrollment. 59 Transfer Credit for Military Experience Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Registrar’s Office for transfer credit evaluation. A military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and courses completed in the US Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines. Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy records maintained by JST: jst.doded.mil Air Force records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process. Graduation Requirements The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Each student is required to file an Intent to Graduate at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements. Application forms are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Faculty advisors, the Academic Advising staff, department chairs, and the Registrar’s Office staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Registrar’s Office about specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major. All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar’s Office in order for the degree to be conferred. There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record. Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: International Baccalaureate Program (IB) Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Advanced Placement Program (AP) Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests developed by the College Board that are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. 60 DSST Exams DSST Exams are a series of standardized tests in college subjects that are comparable to the final examinations in undergraduate courses. Exams are offered at testing centers worldwide for a small fee. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages These tests assess written and/or spoken proficiency in world languages. For a small fee, students can assess their level of knowledge in world languages to earn college credit and/or waive the modern language requirement. More information about eligibility and qualifying languages is available from Academic Advising. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:     There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is not computed in the GPA, and there is a charge per exam of $100 per semester credit. Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Registrar’s Office. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria:      There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a nonrefundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each course. Credit granted by portfolio review is not computed in the GPA. Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows a maximum of 32 credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the 32 credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the assessment processes available in the APL Program: AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. 61 Graduation Information Requirements for Undergraduate Graduation Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence. 1. Completion of 128 semester credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 128 total semester credits required: o Eight semester credits by independent/directed study o 16 semester credits of internship o 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P) o To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than eight elective P/N graded semester credits. o Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than eight semester credits with P grades toward a major and no more than four semester credits with a P grade toward a minor. 2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum—Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed under the Augsburg Curriculum section. 4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors, licensure, and certificate programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors. 5. Residence —A minimum of 32 semester credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no fewer than 24 of the last 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) credits are counted against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of credits that are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the departmental pages of this catalog for further information. Latin Honors Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin honors upon completion of a bachelor’s degree. Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors Program. (See individual department and program descriptions for details.) Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows: Summa Cum Laude Magna Cum Laude Cum Laude 3.90-4.00 GPA (plus successful completion of the Summa Oral Examination) 3.80-3.89 GPA 3.60-3.79 GPA To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than eight elective pass/no credit graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only with P/N grading will not be counted). For additional information, including the guidelines for the summa cum laude oral examination visit the Registrar’s Office webpage. Commencement Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings. Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all requirements are complete. 62 Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to celebrate academic achievement. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of participation in commencement. Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student populations. One commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program. The second ceremony is for graduate program students and undergraduate students in the Adult Undergraduate and Rochester programs. Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring semester; and (2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the summer or fall semesters immediately following commencement. Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal The College requires that all students maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation; however, certain majors require a higher minimum GPA. Students will be placed on probation and considered for continuation or dismissal if:     Cumulative GPA below 2.00 First-year student who receives two 0.0 or No Pass grades Sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three 0.0 or No Pass grades At the end of the first term, one has not fulfilled the requirements established through the Conditional Admit Program (see the Academic Skills Office Conditional Admit Program CAP section). For more information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website. Dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Student Standing Committee. Evidence of a student’s commitment to academic progress is the primary consideration used when deciding whether to dismiss. Students on probation who voluntarily Withdraw from College must receive permission from the Student Standing Committee to re-enroll. Students who have been dismissed may apply for readmission after one year. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission accompanied by any statements and evidence attesting to the student’s commitment to academic success. A student will be removed from probation if:   The cumulative GPA reaches 2.00; or One was placed on probation because of unfulfilled Conditional Admit Requirements and one subsequently satisfies those requirements. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he/she may appeal the decision to the Student Standing Committee within 10 calendar days of notification. Specific appeal instructions are included in the letter of dismissal. Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as social work, education, and nursing. A student dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is available at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide. Dean’s List The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, recognizes undergraduate students for outstanding achievement during the term. Students can qualify for the Dean’s List in two ways:   Earning a semester GPA of 3.50 or higher based on 12 or more traditionally-graded credits Earning a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher based on 6-11 traditionally-graded credits 63 Incomplete courses and other classes without final grades at the time the Dean’s List is compiled will not be considered. The Dean’s List is published on Inside Augsburg and students can choose to submit announcements to their hometown newspapers. Enrollment/Degree Verification Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student enrollment and degree status. Contact information is as follows: National Student Clearinghouse 2300 Dulles Station Blvd, Suite 300 Herndon, VA 20171 Web: www.studentclearinghouse.org Phone: 703-742-4200 Veterans of Military Service Augsburg is approved by the state approving agency for VA education benefits. Veterans and eligible spouse and dependents should consult with the VA School Certifying Officials in the Registrar’s Office and Student Financial Services about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of educational assistance funds received. Additional information about veterans’ education benefits can be found at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill. 64 The Augsburg Curriculum Augsburg College is dedicated to educating students intellectually, physically, and spiritually. To act effectively, humans must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come, as well as the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of human knowledge and our world. “Search for Meaning” courses are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition, introduce them to other faith traditions, and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Fitness courses offer students opportunities to develop skills and habits of healthful living. Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes The College’s mission statement offers a series of educational values: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. As part of this mission, Augsburg’s faculty have identified a set of outcomes for student learning: These areas reflect our shared commitment to offering a vibrant liberal arts education in tandem with career preparation and vocational discovery. We expect students to achieve these outcomes cumulatively, through the completion of the core curriculum, majors / minors, electives and co-curricular experiences. As Informed Citizens, students are learning to …  engage their communities and demonstrate a sense of agency to create change in ethical and informed ways (Civic Engagement / Ethical Reasoning)  explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local and global contexts (Global Awareness / Intercultural Competence) As Thoughtful Stewards, students are learning to …  critically engage their own beliefs and articulate their gifts and goals for meaningful life and work in a pluralistic context (Vocation / Religious Literacy)  identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways (Health and Wellness / Sustainability) As Critical Thinkers, students are learning to …  use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate competing claims (Critical Thinking / Information Literacy)  construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other formats (Writing / Oral Communication) As Responsible Leaders, students are learning to …  employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments (Quantitative Literacy)  articulate and solve problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways (Problem Solving / Integrative Learning) 65 Overview of the Curriculum The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: core curriculum (or general education requirements), major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in college-level classes. The general education requirements include a liberal arts foundation, signature courses and experiences, skills development, and a keystone. Entry Level Placement Tests Math, Writing, English (if applicable), and language placement for Modern Language courses. The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg First Year    Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project The Augsburg Signature Curriculum    Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning I and II Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone The Liberal Arts Foundation     Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Electives Majors Skills The Augsburg Curriculum is designed to help students develop the skills necessary for successful careers and fulfilling lives, including:            Writing Critical Thinking Oral Communication Information Literacy Quantitative Literacy Religious Literacy Ethical Reasoning Problem Solving Intercultural Competence Civic Agency and Engagement Health and Wellness 66 Entry Level Placement Tests Prior to first-year registration, students will complete entry level skills assessments in:     Mathematics Writing Foreign Language Placement (French, German, or Spanish) and, if applicable, English Language Learning First-year students who began at Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later, who require developmental/entry-level courses, must complete these courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students who began at Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete all required developmental/entry-level courses by the end of their third term. The developmental courses subject to this policy are:     ENL 101 ENL 111 / HON 111 / ENL 112 ENL 217 / 218 MAT 103 / 105 Entry-Level Mathematics For a strong start at Augsburg, students will take entry-level exams to determine their math placement group (MPG.) In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the first term. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising -- students are encourage to study for the exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment. Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the Math Placement Exam. Students in Math Placement Group (MPG) 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the next math level. Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group (MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite. Entry-Level Writing A writing sample is required of students to determine placement in an appropriate writing class. In some cases, students who have transferred an equivalent English composition course from another college or Advanced Placement English Language and Composition with a score of 4 or 5 may have placement determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other students must take the Writing Placement Test, which is administered by Academic Advising. Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. Students are required to complete Effective Writing (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students who need to develop competence in composition skills are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) before taking Effective Writing. These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111/112/HON 111). Modern Language Assessment Students with proficiency or experience in French, German, or Spanish complete an assessment to determine placement in Augsburg's modern language courses. Students begin their exploration of modern language at the level identified by the placement test. This online assessment is administered by Academic Advising. Placement assessment for American Sign Language and Ojibwe is administered by faculty representing those specific languages. 67 English Language Learners Assessment Students whose primary language is other than English will complete an assessment to determine preparedness for classes taught in English. Results of this assessment determine placement in English Language Learner course(s). This assessment is administered by Academic Advising. Core Skills Requirements Effective Writing Students must pass ENL 111 - Effective Writing, ENL 112 - Advanced Effective Writing, or HON 111 - Honors Effective Writing with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, or transfer in an equivalent course. Attendance at the first day of class is required. Modern Language For students who have not previously studied a modern language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement. Placement into French, German, and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other modern languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed. Assessment is used for placement only and does not result in credit. Students may audit, but will not receive credit for any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies may override assessment results as deemed appropriate. Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the requirement. Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled the Modern Language Core Skill. Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners (ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL requirement will receive credit for the Modern Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English Department for additional information. Health and Wellness Two health and wellness courses are required. WEL100 - Foundations of Wellness (formerly HPE001) is required of all students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different WEL102 – Recreational Wellness (formerly HPE002) courses. Students may test out of the WEL102 course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected lifetime activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the lifetime activity proficiency test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. Foundations of Wellness and Recreational Wellness are noncredit courses and are not included in the 128 credit graduation requirement. 68 The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens through their engagement in a curriculum that:    Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills Calls for common inquiry into questions of faith and the search for meaning Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a diverse world The curriculum has three major components:    Liberal Arts Foundation Signature Curriculum Skills Development The Augsburg First Year In order to help them make the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar All students who enter the College as first-year students in the weekday schedule program must satisfactorily complete fall orientation and Augsburg Seminar (AugSem), a first-year learning community in their major or related area of academic interest. AugSem’s purpose is to help first-year students embrace the expectations and benefits of being a member of a learning community at Augsburg College by:    Encountering the community Engaging the learning process Exploring the self as scholar AugSem equips students to become intentional learners, connects them to the larger Augsburg community, and helps them succeed in future college work. Engaging Minneapolis The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its commitment to its urban location. Embedded in the AugSem experience, Engaging Minneapolis introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, and/or servicelearning. Many Voices Project Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see Core Skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication among diverse writers and readers. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning Augsburg’s Signature Curriculum takes seriously the College’s identity as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Two required courses (REL 100 plus a Search for Meaning II course) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to this identity and the College’s commitment to developing religious literacy and nurturing students to think critically about the concept of vocation. 69 Students from all faith traditions will find a generous spirit of hospitality in these courses. Whether you are Jewish or atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual but not religious,” these courses promote respect and understanding across faith traditions. All religion courses engage with the concept of vocation and an understanding that we are called to live and serve as neighbors. REL 100 explores the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments and actions we make in life. The Liberal Arts Foundation The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation. Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts. The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Natural Sciences and Mathematics Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Physics. One must be a lab science course. Social and Behavioral Sciences Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology. Humanities Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100 and 200) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. If a student opts to take another upper-division REL course to fulfill the Search for Meaning II requirement, it may not count toward a Humanities LAF. Fine Arts Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theater Arts. One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following:    Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115) Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121) Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141) Senior Keystone The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education— vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. In this course, students reflect on the meaning of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Many Keystone courses also meet major requirements. The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place in the world as leaders and servants. 70 Electives A student must complete a minimum of 128 semester credits in order to graduate. If the Core Curriculum and Major requirements do not reach 128 semester credits, the student may take electives for credit in any subject area to reach the minimum credit requirement. Majors For major requirements, see the appropriate departmental page(s) of this catalog or consult the department chair. Graduation Skills An Augsburg education aims to develop certain key skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, speaking, writing and information literacy are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill incorporates both foundational mathematical skills and the application of those skills. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning courses. See the appropriate departmental page(s) in this catalog or consult the department chair for more information. Core Curriculum Modifications Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum requirements in one of the following ways. Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements, provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses, two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver:              Actuarial Science (St. Thomas) Biology Biopsychology Chemistry Elementary Education Exercise Science Health Education (teaching licensure only) Mathematical Economics Mathematics Music Therapy Nursing Physical Education (teaching licensure only) Physics Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver are not required to complete modern language courses as part of their degree.

It is possible for students to take beginning/intermediate/advanced language courses not available at consortium colleges. Consult with the ACTC office for specific program options. Students register directly with the ACTC office. 2 Dual-degree programs with the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology and Michigan Technological University. 74 Student-Designed Major Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisors from relevant fields and subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major allows flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisors, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before the student achieves senior status. Students wishing to design majors must: 1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisors from relevant fields, who together constitute the Review Team. All advisors must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The advisors’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course, and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress. 2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes:  A statement of learning goals and objectives  A list of proposed courses (minimum of 36 semester credits, no more than one of which is a lower-level language course, and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Clair & Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work for additional information regarding career objectives. The proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including graduation skills) are to be fulfilled.  A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken some time during the senior year. The student should devise the capstone in consultation with advisors. It should require an integrative project/paper that draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one of the advisors must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter, though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisors presumes their approval of the capstone course.  Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the Office of Academic Affairs. If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog. Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisors regularly throughout the design and subsequent evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal petition process to the Student Standing Committee with advisor approval. ACTC Majors Full-time Day students may complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major or Minor Declaration Form to the Registrar’s Office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the ACTC school advisor. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance determined by the major department. 75 Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, pharmacy, or engineering can profit from a liberal arts education at Augsburg. It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty advisor is available in each field to assist students in their planning. Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year to arrange for faculty advising. List of Pre-Professional Programs:  Pre-Engineering o See Engineering Departmental page.  Pre-Health Science o See Biology Departmental page  Pre-Law o Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of American Law Schools. Pre-law students major in disciplines of their own choosing; most law school entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score.  Pre-Pharmacy o Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL 111, 220; MAT 145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in behavioral sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121. Requirements at other universities may vary.  Pre-Seminary o A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several different majors, such as history, philosophy, English, psychology, sociology, or religion. Recommended preparation includes REL 100, 200; at least two semesters of history (Western civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy; and Greek in the junior and/or senior year. The Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation provides resources and support, including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary. 76 Academic Organization and Departments As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the following undergraduate degrees:    Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Music Bachelor of Science Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. Every incoming student receives an advisor. In this close interaction, faculty act as both mentors and models for students. Course Descriptions Course descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. Course descriptions can be found at our Course Description Search. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Internships and Independent Studies Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for registering for credit is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional requirements that are noted in the course description. Interdisciplinary internships are also available. Internships 198 – Internship/On-campus 199 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits) A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. 396 - Internship/On-campus (4 credits) 397 - Internship/Off-campus (2 credits) 398 - Internship/On-campus (2 credits) 399 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits) 77 A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. For some majors, participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off-campus 397/399 internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation require/ement.) Directed and Independent Studies 299 - Directed Study An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. 499 - Independent Study/Research An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken. Academic Year All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with fall, spring, and summer semester lengths ranging from 14-16 weeks. In Augsburg’s Day Program full-time students normally take 16 credits per semester. The Day Program calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), so that students can take a course on another campus during fall or spring semester. Adult Undergraduate (AU) classes typically meet on the same night of the week, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon,” and “Silver.” Students select courses from both the maroon and silver schedules, creating an alternating schedule of classes. Face-to-face meetings occur on alternating weeks for three-and-a-half hours on either Tuesday or Thursday, depending on the program. Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Additional classes outside of the major program may be scheduled on Monday or Wednesday weeknights. Students may take up to 18 credits per semester. Weekend and Evening College (WEC) classes typically meet on alternate weekends. Some classes may meet weekly on weekday evenings. There are seven to eight face to face class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester, and classes meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may take up to 18 credits per semester. Rochester (ROCH) campus classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. There are seven to eight class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester with each class meeting for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students may take up to 18 credits per semester. Courses and majors offered through AU/ROCH/WEC are equivalent to their Day Program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Course Offerings In general, courses are offered in both fall and spring semesters unless otherwise indicated. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an advisor to ensure that all requirements can be met. Note: Not all courses are offered in all programs. Refer to AugNet Records and Registration for information on when specific courses are offered. 78 Credit Hour Definition Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method. Numbering Courses numbered 100 -299 are classified as lower division. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the online Course Description Search as prerequisites. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Effective Writing (ENL111) and math placement prerequisites cannot be waived by the instructor. Students may be dropped from a course if they do not earn a satisfactory grade in the prerequisite for that course. Divisions and Departments The College curriculum is offered by 26 departments that are grouped into three divisions for administrative and instructional purposes: Fine Arts and Humanities American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, English, History, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies, Music, Philosophy, Religion, Theater Arts, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, College librarians.

It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves. At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity flourish with diversity. We are a small campus in the heart of a major metropolitan area with an innovative faculty and creative curriculum in graphic design, drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, photography, hand papermaking, book arts, architecture, and digital media. A solid foundation of drawing, design, and history is balanced with the development of technical skills, critical thinking, and creative exploration in a range of media. On-campus galleries showcase student and professional artwork. Nearby museums, galleries, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time. Service learning, internships, and study abroad are integral to our program. We reach nearly 1,000 students a year from all disciplines, and graduate 25-30 majors annually with Bachelor of Arts degrees in art history, studio art, and art education. An emphasis in graphic design, an architecture minor, and certificates in art and graphic design provide additional opportunities for specialization. For half a century, students have been earning degrees in studio art and art history at Augsburg College. We’re excited to be here in the center of the city. You will be, too. Art Faculty Kristin M.

Because biology is such a broad field, the biology program at Augsburg emphasizes integration across many sub-disciplines, including molecular, cellular, organismal, evolutionary, and ecological biology. Additionally, the biology program at Augsburg coordinates with the mathematics, chemistry, and physics programs to ensure that our students acquire the necessary knowledge to fully understand biological phenomena. Augsburg’s Biology program is designed to provide students with the opportunities to (1) understand the fundamental knowledge of the discipline, (2) know how scientific knowledge is generated and disseminated, (3) effectively communicate scientific information in written and oral forms, (4) be proficient in common biological lab techniques, and (5) demonstrate professionalism in the sciences. Additionally, Augsburg has a strong commitment to undergraduate research, both on and off campus. There are a variety of opportunities to work on research projects with Biology faculty and subsequently present your research at regional, national, and international meetings. Graduates of our Biology program follow many different paths. Most of our graduates use their undergraduate major in Biology as a springboard for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies leading to careers in post-secondary teaching, basic and applied research, and public health or have entered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. In addition, many of our students go directly into the workforce as laboratory technologists and teachers.

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

Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. The department offers six majors: Economics, Applied Economics, Mathematical Economics, Business and Economics, Computational Economics, and Economics and Political Science (Education majors only). The Economics major and the Applied Economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. The Mathematical Economics major is designed for students who intend to attend graduate school in economics or another quantitative field such as finance or operations research. It is also designed to serve students to work in quantitative fields immediately upon graduation, e.g., research analysts or actuaries. Computational Economics provides a liberal arts entry into the field of computer science. The combined Economics/Business Administration major allows students great flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in Political Science/Economics allows secondary education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics. The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and make choices. An Economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, and private and public international service. Pre-law and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider Economics as a major or a minor. Students are able to combine an Economics major with other disciplines such as Business Administration, International Relations, Mathematics, Management Information Systems, Political Science, History, and area study programs. Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively-oriented graduate program in economics or in business are encouraged to either major or minor in Mathematics. These students should also take courses in Computer Science. Consult an advisor for specific course suggestions. For the Economics and Applied Economics majors, the capstone experience is ECO 490 - Research Methods in Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their advisor for alternatives. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the department chair and the Strommen Center before registering for an internship for academic credit. Note: Transfer students must complete at least three upper division economics courses for a major and two for a minor. Transfer classes must have been completed in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0 grade.

Additional criteria for acceptance into the Education Department are available through the department website. Students complete a semester of full-time student teaching at the conclusion of their degree and/or licensure. Students must complete the EdTPA during their student teaching semester. State law requires passing appropriate exams (basic skills, pedagogy, and content exams) prior to recommendation for licensure. Students who entered Augsburg College under earlier catalogs must comply with the requirements of the new licensure programs. The Education Department offers non-licensure majors in Elementary Education and Education Studies. Contact the department for details. The department also offers a Special Education minor which is described at the end of this section. 123 Students are assigned an Education Department program advisor upon request or at the outset of EDC coursework. All students are expected to become knowledgeable about programs and follow through with department policies. Handbooks outlining programs and policies are available through the Education Department and website. Student Teaching Abroad Selected Education Department students may participate in an international student teaching program. Those interested in further information should contact the Education Department at least one year prior to student teaching. Students who teach abroad will do part of their student teaching in the Twin Cities area under direct Augsburg faculty supervision.

Because of the special requirements and opportunities of these programs, early consultation with the Augsburg Engineering advisor is necessary. Applications for these programs require the recommendation of the Augsburg Engineering advisor. Contact Ben Stottrup, Physics Department, stottrup@augsburg.edu 612-330-1035. University of Minnesota The College of Science and Engineering and Augsburg cooperative arrangement provides for two dual degree engineering programs: Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (BA/BE) This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. The program typically involves three years at Augsburg and two years at the College of Science and Engineering. Students may apply for the program after completing the sophomore year. At that time, they will be informed of their status in the program and any further conditions necessary for final acceptance into the program. Formal application to the College of Science and Engineering may be completed during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Bachelor of Arts/Master of Engineering (BA/ME) This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg College and a Master of Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota. This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the College of Science and Engineering. The curriculum is the same as the BA/BE curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the university before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the BA/ME program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the College of Science and Engineering staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the BA/ME program are not guaranteed admission to the College of Science and Engineering. Michigan Technological University This program enables students to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Augsburg and a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Michigan Technological University in a five-year period. The first three years are spent at Augsburg followed by two years at the affiliated university. Students accepted into the program will be considered for admission to the engineering school if they complete course requirements, have the requisite cumulative grade point average, and are recommended by the Engineering advisor of Augsburg College. Students are also encouraged to explore opportunities for graduate work at Michigan Technological University. Further information on these and other graduate programs is available from the Augsburg Engineering advisor. 134 Financial Aid Students receiving financial aid who are participants in these dual degree programs will be encouraged to apply to the engineering school of their choice for continuing support. Their applications will be evaluated using need and academic performance as criteria. Degree and Major Requirements Minimum course requirements for admission to the dual degree or three-two programs: CHM 115 - General Chemistry I CHM 116 - General Chemistry II CSC 170 - Introduction to Programming ENL 111 - Effective Writing PHY 121 - General Physics I PHY 122 - General Physics II Four mathematics courses are required: MAT 145 - Calculus I MAT 146 - Calculus II MAT 245 - Calculus III MAT 369 - Modeling and Differential Equations or PHY 327 - Special Functions of Mathematical Physics Additional courses to meet general education requirements and a total of 24 courses at Augsburg. Normally MAT 145, 146, and PHY 121, 122 are taken in the first year. Students interested in chemical engineering also should take CHM 351, 352. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 135 English Through the study of English we witness life’s complexity, experience life as others do, and thus better understand the world in which we live and work. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence and allows us to frame human events within diverse world views. Those who study English typically believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. At the same time, the English Department’s emphasis on writing helps our students to clarify and share their thoughts. English relates closely to other majors. Like the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. Like psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. Like philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and language. Like science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. Like speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. Like history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures. Augsburg’s English Department integrates its programs with cultural opportunities available in this vital urban area. Plays, films, and readings are available near the campus, often within walking distance. English majors also have opportunities to use and refine their skills by working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language Learner (ELL) students, or tutoring in the Writing Lab. Students who complete an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses. English Faculty Dallas Liddle (Chair), John Schmit, Stephan Clark, Robert Cowgill, Cass Dalglish, Douglas Green, Colin Irvine, Kathryn Swanson, Mzenga Wanyama, Cary Waterman Degree and Major Requirements Choosing a Concentration Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of three concentrations: literature, language, and theory; creative writing; and secondary licensure in communication arts/literature. While some of our courses explicitly address theoretical approaches to literature, especially those that examine race, class, and gender, all of our courses infuse these concerns in their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, film, and drama. All literature classes involve students in multiple forms of literary examination and are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing—skills of the educated and employable citizen. English Major with a Literature, Language, and Theory Concentration The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration provides students various approaches to the study of the written word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and enable the discovery of new literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and postcolonial literatures reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world literatures are organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, Theater Arts, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. This concentration requires nine courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 including: 136 ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts At least two 200-level literature courses as prerequisites for upper division courses in English. No more than two 200level literature courses may count for the major. At least five 300-level courses, with one each in British literature, American literature, and world literature. At least one 400-level course. Any 300-level course serves as a prerequisite for the 400-level. Minor in Literature, Language, and Theory Five courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 are required, including: ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts Four literature, language, and theory courses, three of which must be upper division courses. English Major with a Creative Writing Concentration The English Creative Writing concentration helps students develop professional writing skills by focusing their efforts in the creative modes: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, playwriting, and screenwriting. Over the course of the major, students master terminology; engage the field’s aesthetic and ethical issues; and read and study the works of established writers. The creative writing concentration expands competencies in observation, research, and analysis that enable writers to gather and interpret material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work; it attends particularly to the artistic aspects of the writer’s craft, such as form, affect, and revision. English majors in Creative Writing engage the interdisciplinary demands inherent in literary endeavors, including issues of design, and enhance their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities inherent in the writing life. Creative Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors, who are themselves practicing writers. The writing concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with Art, Communication Studies, and Theater Arts. To complete this concentration students must take 10 courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112, including three literature, language, and theory courses. At least one of these must be at the 300-level or higher. ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts ENL 226 - Introduction to Creative Writing ENL 320, 321 - Fiction One, Fiction Two or ENL 322, 323 - Poetry One, Poetry Two ENL 420 - Advanced Studies in Writing (Keystone) ART 215 - Web Design I or ART 225 - Graphic Design I One elective from: ENL 227 - Journalism ENL 228 - Broadcast and Online Journalism ENL/FLM 229 - Screenwriting ENL 320 - Fiction One ENL 322 - Poetry One ENL 324 - Creative Non-Fiction ENL/THR 325 - Playwriting I ENL 396 - Internship in Teaching Writing ENL 397/399 - Internship An approved ACTC creative writing course 137 Minors in Writing A minor with an open emphasis requires five writing courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112, including at least one course from the 200-level and two from the 300-level. A minor with a creative emphasis requires five writing courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 and must include ENL 226, and at least three upper division creative writing courses, two of which must be a 300 two-course writing sequence. A minor with a media emphasis requires six courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112, and must include ENL 227 or 228, ENL 427, one design course, and three upper division media writing courses. Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure Major The Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure concentration is for students who seek to be licensed to teach communication arts/literature in Minnesota. Students are encouraged to take courses toward their major during the first and sophomore years and to apply for the education licensure program no later than the spring of their junior year. Students in both programs must work with advisors in the English Department and the Education Department in order to meet the professional requirements within the Education Department as well as the requirements for the major. Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be achieved through an English major, which requires at least two additional, specific courses, or through a communication studies major. Prerequisite: ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 Major Requirements (eight courses in English): ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing ENL 240 - Introduction to Literary Study ENL 365 - Contemporary Post Colonial Fiction ENL 380 - Introduction to the English Language ENL 396 - Internship in Teaching Writing One upper division ENL British literature course One upper division ENL American literature course One additional ENL literature, language, or theory course chosen from ENL360, 361, 362, 367, 368, 371, 385, 394, 410, and 430 Experiential Requirement (no credit): One college-level experience required in forensics, debate, newspaper, literary journal, or related activity (subject to departmental approval) Additional Courses (outside the English Department): COM 111 - Public Speaking COM 254 - Interpersonal Communication COM 351 – Argumentation One of COM 120, COM 243, or POL 342 Special Methods (two courses): ESE 350 - 5-12 Methods: Literature and Reading ESE 351 - 5-12 Methods: Speaking and Listening Additional ESE and EDC courses are required for licensure.

Departmental Honors GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall; submit proposal to department chair by early October in senior year for department approval. Submit and defend paper before faculty committee. Honors project may receive independent study credit (refer to departmental guidelines). Transfer Students Note: Transfer undergraduate English majors must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer students who minor in English must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer English education students with a BA in English from another college must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg (preferably upper division courses). These courses must be taken before the department can recommend a student for student teaching. The English Placement Test A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111). Note: Students should register for ENL 101 during the first semester of attendance if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111 should be completed, if possible, during the first year. Students in Developmental Writing (ENL 101), Effective Writing (ENL 111), HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional grading system or P/N grading in consultation with their instructor up through the last week of class (without special permission/petition). Students who choose to receive a traditional grade in either course will receive a grade of N (one time only) if their work is below a 2.0. A student who repeats ENL 101 or 111 and does not receive a grade of 2.0 or higher will receive a grade of 0.0. Service Courses The department offers these service courses for students as required by a placement test. 139 Literature, Language, and Theory Courses The 200-level courses in the literature, language, and theory track of the English major develop foundational competencies in reading and interpreting literary texts, and provide opportunities for diverse literary discovery. These courses require ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 as a prerequisite or co-requisite. Spotlight Courses Offered alternating terms. Content for each will vary by term—check online course descriptions. Upper Level Courses The 300-level courses in the literature track in English concentrate on primary texts in historical and cultural contexts. These courses ask students to practice interpreting literary texts by employing techniques, terminology, and research methods of the discipline, resulting in effective and substantive expository writing about the subject. Unless otherwise indicated, students must take ENL 220 or 221 (see writing courses), or one 200-level literature, language, or theory course, or gain consent of the instructor as a prerequisite. The 400-level literature, language, and theory courses emphasize scholarship, criticism, and theory, and ask students to write and speak professionally about literary texts. Any 300-level literature course or consent of the instructor serve as a prerequisite for the 400-level. One 400-level course must fulfill the keystone requirement. Writing Courses Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold his/her place in the course.

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

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

The distinguished medievalist J.R. Strayer expressed it this way: “No community can survive and no institution can function without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common experiences that makes scattered individuals into a community.” The study of history enables us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and change in society. The construction of an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be active and contributing members of their society. The study of history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate study in many fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, conceptualization, and processing of information. History Faculty Michael J. Lansing (Chair), Phillip C. Adamo, Jacqueline deVries, William Green, Maheen Zaman Degree and Major Requirements History Major Nine courses, including HIS 280 and HIS 480. At least four of these courses must be upper division. A major must have at least one course (either survey or upper level) from each of the four areas: ancient and medieval, modern Europe, United States, and non-Western. History Area Courses     Ancient and Medieval: HIS101, 102, 360, 361, 369, 370, 374, 378, or HUM120 Modern Europe: HIS102, 103, 282, 348, 352, or 354 United States: HIS120, 121, 122, 225, 234, 236, 241, 242, 243, 249/349, 300, 316, 331, 332, 335, 336, 338, or 343 Non-Western: HIS104, 140/440, 150/350, 155/355, 162/462, 323, 327, 346, 357, or 474 Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT) graduation skill is embedded throughout the offered courses and is met by completing the major.

Upper division courses are numbered 300 and above. Prerequisites Satisfactory completion of a lower division course (100- or 200-level) is normally required before enrolling in an upper division course (300- and 400-level). See instructor for permission to waive prerequisites. Transfer Students Transfer students planning a major must normally take at least three of their courses at Augsburg including HIS 280 and 480. A minor normally requires two courses taken at Augsburg. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 152 Honors Program – HON Introduction The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education. Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world. Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience” such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their specialties. For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu (612-330-1560) or Phil Adamo, Honors Program director, at honors@augsburg.edu. Honors Program Recognition Students who complete the Honors Program requirements satisfy all general education requirements, except those for physical education and modern language. Honors students also receive special transcript notation, special graduation recognition, résumé-building positions, and special access to academic advising and career options. Honors Admission Requirements and Academic Scholarships Students with a demonstrated record of achievement are eligible to enter the Augsburg Honors Program. Prospective students may demonstrate achievement in a variety of ways. Most students who are admitted have a composite ACT score of 27 or higher (or a combined SAT score of 1250 or higher), and a high school GPA of 3.50 or higher. However, students without these numeric requirements may be eligible if they have exceptional records of extracurricular activity or other exceptional experiences. All students are encouraged to apply. To apply, students should fill out the online application at www.augsburg/honors.edu. Students applying for the Honors Program also automatically apply for the College’s highest academic scholarships: the President’s, Honors Regents’, International President’s, and Hanwick/Agre Scholarships. Qualifying Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College in the Schools, and Postsecondary Option courses may satisfy Honors Program requirements, and/or be granted College credit. Contact Academic Advising or the Honors program director for further information. Students may enter the Honors Program at three points: first semester of first year, second semester of first year, or first semester of sophomore year. Students who enter during the second semester of the first year must fulfill all remaining Honors requirements, may substitute REL 100 for HON 100, and may be excused from taking HON 120. Students who enter the first semester of the sophomore year must fulfill remaining Honors requirements, and may substitute REL 100 for HON 100, may substitute two non-Honors humanities liberal arts foundation courses for HON 130, may substitute ENL 111 for HON 111, and may be excused from taking HON 120. Scholars Program The Scholars Program allows students to enroll in Honors courses, join an Honors House, and participate in all Honors Program activities. In order to graduate with the Scholars Program transcript designation, student must: join an Honors House and participate in required meetings (listed below), maintain an overall GPA of 3.3 or higher, and take 16 credits of Honors courses. Scholars Program participants do not need to complete the research requirement or the GFA 153 requirement. Scholars Program participants are not required to take HON340: Junior Colloquium, but may if they so choose. Honors Program Requirements Honors students have several options for completing each general education requirement. Student may complete the established courses, or they may use several unconventional options. These options are detailed in subsequent sections. In general, Honors students entering in the first semester must complete the following requirements:    First Year: HON 005; HON 120; HON 100; HON 130; HON 111 or 219 or other 200 level writing course Past First Year: HON 005; HON 220; HON 230; HON 240; HON 250; HON 340; HON 490; research requirement, residency requirement Outside Honors Program: modern language requirement; physical education requirement Notes: **All Honors students should take HON 260 in the second year unless they have an irreconcilable scheduling conflict or have a clear and defined plan for meeting the research requirement. If the latter, students should take HON 470. **All Honors students must complete the GFA (Grants, Fellowships, and Awards) Requirement- details are available at the Honors Moodle site, the Honors public folder or from the Honor Desk (honors@augsburg.edu). **Students with and English transfer credit must take the writing entrance exam to place out of HON 111. **All students must take HON 130 unless there is an irreconcilable schedule conflict within their major. Ex: pre-med and music therapy. Honors Co-Curricular Activities Honors Houses All Honors students must belong to an Honors House for the purpose of receiving academic advising and program information. All Honors students are required to attend mandatory meetings of the Honors Program or of their houses. These meetings are necessary for advising, information, and governance. When students enter the Honors Program they choose to join one of the four Honors Houses:     The Crockett Scholars House coordinates scholarship, research, fellowship, major award or prize opportunities, and graduate school placement for all Honors students. Crockett House also organizes events related to scholarship, such as College scholarship events. The Pike Stewards House coordinates public relations, job placement, and fundraising opportunities for all Honors students. Pike House also organizes events for alumni and fundraising. The Griffin Citizens House coordinates recruiting, social activities, admission and scholarship applications, and the Honors website opportunities for all Honors students. Griffin House also organizes events for recruiting and socializing, such as banquets, parties, and high school recruiting trips. The Hesser Servants House coordinates service-learning, social justice, experiential learning, and political activity opportunities for all Honors students. Hesser House also organizes related events, such as Honors service days and Augsburg experiences. Augsburg Honors Review Students manage, edit, write, and publish an interdisciplinary journal of undergraduate scholarship. The Review accepts submissions from students at Augsburg and other colleges and universities around the nation. 154 Student Leadership Opportunities Students elected to leadership within their Honors House may serve as house presidents or serve in other program leadership positions. The house presidents sit on the Honors Student Presidents Council and make critical decisions about program courses and resources. Student-Created Learning Experiences (SCLE) Honors students may learn through established courses or through student-created learning experiences. These student-created experiences may substitute for Honors curricular requirements, or may simply enrich a student’s education. Such student-created experiences may count toward requirements in majors and satisfy Honors requirements, or simply be an elective course. Student-created learning experiences may take almost any form. Some possible forms include:      Student-created courses (created in collaboration with faculty) Full course (10-20 students) Reading Groups (2-9 students) Individual Reading and Examination (individual study) Student/Faculty Research (may be one or many students) Process: A student-created learning experience may be proposed by any Honors student or by any Augsburg faculty or staff person. The interested student should speak with either an Honors Council member or the Honors Program director. Next, a proposal should be drafted in accord with the Honors student-created learning experience form. Finally, the proposal should be submitted by the student to the Honors Program director who will carry the proposal to the Honors Council for review.

The department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, and Spanish, as well as an interdisciplinary major in Cross-Cultural Studies. Introductory courses in Latin, Norwegian, Ojibwe, Farsi, and American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Ancient Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese are available to Augsburg students through Augsburg’s four partner-institutions in the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines.

Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education. Students majoring in Mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, Mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason abstractly; to conjecture, critique, and justify their assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and comprehend precise mathematical writing; to speak and write about mathematical ideas; and to experience working in teams on mathematical projects. Students can prepare for graduate school, for work in business, industry, or nonprofit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in grades K-12. Students majoring in many disciplines find it helpful to acquire a minor or a second major in Mathematics. Students may choose coursework supporting the study of Mathematics as a liberal art (through the BA degree) or choose a more focused program of courses (through the BS degree). BS focus areas include theoretical mathematics, statistics, teaching mathematics, and the application of mathematics to science and engineering, actuarial science, computing, business, or economics. Augsburg’s urban location allows students to gain experience working with mathematics through internships, service learning, and the colloquium course. Augsburg students can also choose to complete a major in Actuarial Science at University of St. Thomas, offered through ACTC.

The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world. As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies prepares students for life beyond college. Because of its emphasis on precise reading and analysis of texts, careful writing, and spirited discussion, the major in Medieval Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, critical and abstract thinking, and processing information. Medieval Studies Faculty Michael Kidd (Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies, Program Director), Phillip C. Adamo (History), Kristin M. Anderson (Art), Mark L. Fuehrer (Philosophy), Douglas E. Green (English), Beliza Torres (Theater Arts), Merilee Klemp (Music), Philip A. Quanbeck II (Religion), Martha E. Stortz (Religion), Mark D.

Graduation Skills Graduation skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. HIS 369 meets the Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Language Requirement Students must take one year of college-level Latin as part of the major. In addition, students must take one year of a college-level, modern language in which medieval scholarship is published (e.g. Spanish, French, German, Norwegian, Arabic; NOT American Sign Language). This second language will fulfill the Modern Language Core Skills requirement. Augsburg Experience As with all majors, an Augsburg Experience is required for graduation. For the Medieval Studies major this might include study abroad, or internships at the University of Minnesota’s Rare Books Collection, the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, or the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Prior approval of advisor is required for all Augsburg Experiences related to Medieval Studies. Minor Five courses, including HUM 120. The remaining four courses must be in different disciplines, as grouped above (history, literature, religion/philosophy, and history of arts). For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 169 Music The Music Department at Augsburg College offers professional music training in the context of a liberal arts curriculum through three degrees and five music majors. It also offers a variety of music courses and ensemble experiences that are available to non-music majors, and meet Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Augsburg’s location in the heart of a major artistic center makes it an ideal place to study music, and the Music faculty seek and encourage opportunities that connect the campus and the greater arts communities. These opportunities allow students to explore the links between theory and applied knowledge and may take many forms, including internships; community performances; Music Therapy practica; community-based learning projects; required off-campus performance and concert attendance assignments; or travel and study within and outside the United States. The Music Department is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).

More detail is included in the Music Department Student Handbook posted on the Music Students site on Moodle. Because of the heavy curricular demands inherent in any single Music Department degree program, students are strongly encouraged to avoid declaring double majors entirely within the department, i.e. attempting two music degree programs simultaneously. In those rare cases where such a scenario seems both warranted and feasible, students are required to petition the department for acceptance of their proposed degree plan prior to formally declaring their double majors.

Such work could include, but is not limited to, one of the following: defending a senior thesis, presenting an additional recital, composing a substantial piece(s), conducting a program, presenting a research paper, or some combination of any of the above. Consideration for departmental honors requires a clearly written proposal that includes a project title, a transcript, and a brief music résumé to be submitted to the music faculty by November 1 of the senior year. Piano Proficiency All Augsburg Music majors are required to have basic piano skills that meet the standard required by the Piano Proficiency Test offered at the end of each semester. Students come to Augsburg with a wide variety of prior training and experience in piano, and therefore can elect to develop their piano skills and prepare for the proficiency test in several ways. Students with extensive training may be able to simply pass the test; those with some training may register for private piano lessons; the majority of students are advised to take a piano placement test that determines their appropriate placement within a sequence of four class piano courses (MUS 135/136/237/238) designed to teach the skills of the piano proficiency test. To maximize student learning, it is strongly recommended that piano training is started during the first year, when piano study will complement and strengthen the student’s experience in the music theory and aural skills curriculum. Consult the Music Student Handbook for piano major and non-piano major requirements and test dates. 177 Music Repertoire Tests These four tests are intended to encourage students to become lifelong listeners by requiring students to familiarize themselves with many of the masterpieces of the classical music repertory from the Middle Ages to today. Consult the Music Student Handbook for the lists of pieces required by all four repertoire tests and the call numbers for the repertoire test CDs at Lindell Library. Each academic year a specific repertoire test is offered twice: once at the end of the fall semester, and again at the end of the spring semester. Music majors are required to pass three music repertoire tests, transfer students must pass two, and Music minors must pass one. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 178 Natural Science Teaching Licensure The Natural Science licensure program is designed to combine a strong content focus with early and ongoing teaching preparation courses that meet Minnesota licensure requirements. Courses are designed to provide a broad background in science and allow for specialization in an area. The following programs assume that the student will meet the distribution/general education requirements of the College, the requirements for appropriate majors, required education courses (see Secondary Education requirements), and, in the physical sciences, have at least one year of calculus. Early consultation with the Education Department (in your sophomore year) is essential to complete undergraduate major and licensure requirements on a timely basis. Content Liaisons Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright (Biology), Sandra Olmsted (Chemistry), Ben Stottrup (Physics) Degree and Major Requirements Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Education Department to identify current licensure requirements. All upper division courses required for the Biology major must be completed before student teaching.

No longer do nurses practice only in hospitals, they are moving into communities, corporations, parishes, schools, rehabilitation centers and long term care facilities, as well as into their own private practices. Wherever they work, nurses are making a difference in community health and well-being by providing comprehensive health care for diverse groups of persons across the lifespan. The BSN program at Augsburg prepares nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of nursing. Educational opportunities are provided that challenge students’ interests and engage their creativity as they increase skills in critical thinking, speaking, writing, ethics, nursing theories, community assessment, leadership, decision-making and the role of citizen nurse. Classes that combine short-term immersion experiences of study both at home and abroad are woven into the BSN curriculum. Students are invited to participate in these exciting endeavors as they are able. Augsburg’s BSN program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate through the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Department of Nursing Faculty Pauline Abraham, Katherine Baumgartner, Kathleen Clark, Kaija Freborg, Cheryl Leuning, Virginia McCarthy, Kristin McHale, Joyce Miller (Chair), Pamela Moss, Deborah Schuhmacher Staff: Sharon Wade, Linden Gawboy Degree and Major Requirements Nursing Major, BSN Seven 4-semester credit hour courses, including: NUR 300 - Trends and Issues in Nursing NUR 305 - Communication NUR 306 - Paradigms in Nursing NUR 403 - Families and the Life Cycle NUR 410 - Community Health Nursing I NUR 411 - Practicum: Community Health Nursing II NUR 490 - Leadership/Management A minimum grade of 2.0 in each nursing course and a cumulative major GPA of 2.5 are required. Students also must complete Augsburg’s residence and general education requirements. Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the required courses in the Nursing major and are met by completing the major. Students petitioning to transfer in upper division nursing courses from another institution to meet requirements in the nursing major at Augsburg must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these graduation skills. 182 Other Information The BSN program has been planned so that courses in the nursing major can be completed over 16 months of full-time study taking two courses per semester. Students can pursue their studies as quickly as 12 months taking three courses per semester, based on personal choice. Students will be assigned to a nursing faculty adviser to develop a plan of study. More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of liberal arts (general education) courses individual students need to complete the BSN degree and the number of credits each student transfers to Augsburg College from other colleges or universities. Students in Nursing may take non-nursing courses in both the Day and Adult Undergraduate programs. Students interested in pursuing the Nursing major should consult with BSN admissions staff in the Admissions Office for assistance applying. Admission to the Nursing Major In addition to meeting admission requirements for Augsburg College, admission to the Nursing major requires the following:          Completed application Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in one’s basic nursing program Unencumbered RN license–applicant must be a registered nurse who is licensed and currently registered to practice in Minnesota prior to beginning the Nursing major Evidence of HIPAA training Up-to-date immunization records Criminal background check (details provided in application process) Special conditions: Students may be provisionally admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Augsburg due to a cumulative GPA of less than 2.5 in their basic nursing program. Full admission to the program requires students to achieve a GPA of 3.00 or better in two liberal arts courses at Augsburg before being fully admitted to the BSN program. Students may apply to Augsburg College prior to completion of their degree program. However, all BSN program admission requirements must be met prior to matriculating into the BSN program at Augsburg. Credit for Previous Nursing Courses Registered nurses (RNs) transferring into Augsburg College’s BSN completion program will be granted 28 semester credits in recognition of their previous lower division nursing coursework if the following standards are met:   Prior nursing education in the United States is taken in an associate degree in nursing (ADN) program or a diploma in nursing program. Both must be state board-approved programs. Nursing coursework taken outside of the United States is submitted for evaluation to the World Education Services (WES), an agency approved by Augsburg College to evaluate foreign transcripts. Reports should be sent directly to Augsburg College. In addition, nursing coursework must be verified for authenticity by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Applicants must request CGFNS (www.cgfns.org) to forward the educational credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, and who have passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all students. Students who change their major and transfer out of the BSN completion program will lose the 28 semester credit block grant and their transfer credit evaluation will be reassessed. The 28 semester credit block grant will be applied toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing only. 183 Options for Completing the Degree Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a Nursing degree. Courses in the Nursing major are generally offered on weekday evenings with practicum courses (NUR 410 and 411) requiring additional weekday time. Generally, nursing classes meet on alternate weekday evenings for four-hour time blocks. Online instruction and activities occur between face-to-face class times. Optional immersion courses and practicums at home and abroad are scheduled throughout the year. Check with the Department of Nursing for details. It is recommended to work with an academic advisor for advice on liberal arts courses. Nursing majors can complete courses toward the bachelor’s degree at the Minneapolis and at the Rochester campuses. Transfer of Upper Division Nursing Courses BSN students who are provisionally accepted into the Master of Arts in Nursing program at Augsburg may enroll in up to three designated MAN courses, which can be used to fulfill elective credits in the BSN program as well as fulfill credits in the MAN program. Note that these graduate courses may not transfer into another college or university as graduate courses if they have been used to complete the BSN; Augsburg College, however, accepts the courses as also fulfilling requirements in the MAN. The three graduate Nursing courses plus the practica include the following: NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit) NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing and Self Care (3 semester credits) NUR 532P - Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credit) NUR 541 - The Politics of Health Care (3 semester credits) NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit) (see current class schedule for practicum offerings) Note: Students who decelerate for more than five years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is a fee to audit courses. Departmental Honors Admission to the honors major requires a GPA of at least 3.60 in the major and 3.30 overall, application to the department chair by November 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and an honors thesis to be presented before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement. Latin Honors To be eligible for Latin honors, a student must meet minimum GPA standards as well as complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more than eight elective pass/no credit graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only as P/N by the department will not be counted, nor will N grades). For further information, see the Latin Honors section in Academic Information. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 184 Philosophy Philosophy, in an important sense, is the most fundamental of the disciplines. All sciences and most other disciplines arose out of it. Moreover, philosophy is concerned with asking and answering the “big” questions that are the most basic. For example: Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the best? What is knowledge and what are its sources? Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of critical reasoning, assisted by the study of philosophers from the past and present. The Philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some Philosophy majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine, religious ministry, or journalism. Philosophy Faculty David Apolloni (Chair), Markus Führer, Eric Helleloid, Marit A. Peterson Degree and Major Requirements Philosophy Major Eight courses including: PHI 230 - Logic or PHI 385 - Formal Logic and Computation Theory PHI 241 - History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy PHI 242 - History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 343 - History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century Philosophy PHI 344 - History of Philosophy IV: 20th-21st Century Philosophy A 400-level Philosophy course (other than PHI 499) Two elective courses in Philosophy Four courses must be upper division Note: The Philosophy department at present does not offer a keystone PHI 499 course of its own. We recommend that majors take the keystone course offered in the Religion Department, or (in the case of double majors) in the department of the other major. Graduation Skills Graduation skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill can be met by taking PHI 230. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Language requirement The Philosophy Department has no specific language requirement besides the one of the College, but it recommends for Philosophy majors Greek, Latin, French, or German, at the discretion of the faculty advisor. Major in Computational Philosophy In addition to a major and minor in Philosophy, the Philosophy department also offers a cross-disciplinary major in conjunction with the Computer Science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The 185 purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See Computer Science for more information. Departmental Honors Admission to the Philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the Philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student’s choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the department. Philosophy Minor Five courses, including two from: PHI 241 - History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy PHI 242 - History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 343 - History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century Philosophy PHI 344 - History of Philosophy IV: 20th-21st Century Philosophy For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 186 Physics Physicists are a curious and ambitious lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called “natural philosophers,” physicists investigate by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration. A good background in physics (and the associated problem solving skills obtained therein) will prepare you well for a multitude of careers. Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and the need to keep abreast of rapid technological advances, the department strives to give students not only an understanding of basic concepts, but also insights into recent developments. A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering, materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for further study and enable students to follow new developments in science with heightened awareness and comprehension. The department supervises the pre-engineering program, with degree programs available at cooperating universities at both the bachelor’s and advanced degree levels, and administers Augsburg College’s portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, funded by NASA. It also maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences and the Sverdrup Laboratory for Biophysics, with support from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and other private and public sources. Several students work as research assistants in these efforts during the academic year and in the summer. Cooperative education, internship, and undergraduate research programs provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and academic settings.

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

The study of religion at Augsburg College invites students on a search for meaning, challenging them to explore their own religious beliefs and those of their neighbors, to gain a broader view of the role of faith in public life, and to better understand our global context. As an academic discipline, religion probes many of life’s critical questions:         Who are we as human beings and where did we come from? Why do bad things happen? How can we live meaningful lives? What happens after we die? How do our values shape our choices? What is our responsibility to others? What texts are sacred and how should we read them? How can we encourage cooperation and respect among people of different faiths? Students begin their search for meaning in the Core Curriculum courses, REL 100 and 200 (or equivalent elective course). Here they learn to articulate their own beliefs and to understand that what they believe really matters. Students engage in a close reading of the Bible and other sacred texts, study their historical contexts, and apply these insights to contemporary social issues. They also explore their own gifts and how these might be used in service of the broader community as they pursue a life of vocation. Students are invited to deepen their pursuit of these questions by choosing a major or minor in Religion, which offers a wide range of courses in theology, biblical studies, and world religions. As a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Augsburg faculty and staff are eager to engage in dialogue with Christians from all denominations, with people who practice other faith traditions, and with those who claim no particular beliefs. Faculty in the Religion Department represent several Christian denominations and model respectful dialogue with students from a variety of faith perspectives. We challenge all of our students to respect and learn from one another and to think critically about matters of faith and reason in our lives together. Faculty Mary Lowe (Chair), Lori Brandt Hale, Russell Kleckley, Matthew Maruggi, Jeremy Myers, Philip Quanbeck II, Marty Stortz, Mark Tranvik, and Hans Wiersma Majors The Religion Department offers two majors: Religion (REL) and Youth and Family Ministry (YFM). Prerequisites REL 100 is a prerequisite to all other courses. Transfer Courses All transfer courses for majors and minors, including ACTC courses, must be approved in writing by the chair. Only courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. In general, courses that meet the transfer guidelines may only be applied to elective credit for the major. Advising All majors must have an advisor in the department. Departmental Honors GPA of 3.50 in the major and 3.00 overall, research project approved by the department, and colloquium with the department. Application must be received by the department by December 30 of the student’s senior year. 199 Religion A Religion major provides a strong foundation in the liberal arts and prepares students for professional work and graduate studies in a wide range of fields. Since the major requires only eight courses (32 credits), students are encouraged to double-major in a related field. Students considering seminary should take two Bible courses and one course in theology or church history. Students planning on graduate studies in religion ought to complete one Bible course, a world religions course, and the Philosophy of Religion course. A Religion major also provides strong preparation for graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, church history, and related fields. The major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently—skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools. Degree and Major Requirements Religion Major, BA Eight courses (32 credits) including: REL 210 - Research Methods in Religion REL 495 - Religion Keystone Six additional electives (24 credits) Note: Keystone, especially for majors, should be taken in the junior or senior year.

Social work is for students who want to learn the skills necessary for a successful and satisfying career for themselves and the lifelong benefit of working with colleagues who also love their work. Our accredited program will immerse you in the skills and theories of social work and interweave that body of knowledge with the liberal arts, psychology, sociology, economics, and political science. The curriculum will prepare you for internships in a range of human service agencies including, schools, hospitals, community centers, food shelves, women’s centers and a number of other settings in your junior and senior year. The BSW program believes in social justice and teaches students how to engage the system to achieve it. The program addresses multicultural practice through a required course and also a special elective course on Intergroup Dialogue. The bachelor of social work degree awarded will allow you to be successful in your chosen areas of social work practice and prepared to work in multicultural settings. Students graduating with a Social Work major receive a Bachelor of Science degree in social work and are eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. Over ninety-five percent pass the exam on their first attempt. Students interested in a graduate degree in social work (MSW) are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work program. The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program, reducing the number of credits needed. Both the undergraduate and graduate Social Work programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. For more information about the MSW program, consult the Graduate Catalog.

Social Work Study Abroad Opportunities The Augsburg BSW program is a leader in international education for its students. All majors are encouraged to study abroad at some point in their college career. Through The Center for Global Education, the BSW program offers an award-winning semester study abroad program in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Students in the spring semester of their junior year study social work in Mexico and finish their degrees on time. A similar option is offered for study in Norway. The Social Work department also offers a rotating selection of faculty-led, short courses to foreign countries such as China, Slovenian, South Africa and India. Social Work Course Sequence Social Work Entry Level Courses The Social Work major offers three ways to begin the BSW degree: SWK 100 is for those students interested in the breath of the profession; SWK 210 is for students whose interest is in environmental issues and social change strategies; and SWK 230 is for students interested in international social work and global issues. All three courses are equal as introductions to the major. All three courses feature an experiential learning component. Students volunteer 40 hours in a human service agency, program, or institution. The placement is selected by the student, approved by the course instructor, and supervised by agency staff. These courses are also open to non-majors. The department also offers a course in human diversity, SWK 280, which is to be taken after the entry level courses. Social Work upper level courses (300s and 400s) are taught in a two-year sequence. Courses are taught once a year. The senior keystone is SWK 417: Field Work 4: Integrative Seminar. Consult the BSW Program Manual for the degree courseschedule flowchart. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 206 Sociology Sociology is the scientific study of society and social interaction in groups. Our examination of human social organization provides the opportunity to improve the world we have created and in which we live. The sociological perspective provides an important way to critically understand how human beings come to think and act as they do in a variety of social contexts. The goal of the department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of social processes and the social order, how it affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their lives and vocations. Sociology majors develop an understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. The department urges students to use Augsburg’s metropolitan and international settings as a laboratory for learning. Internships enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Students also may take an independent study, special topics course, or field study toward that end. The major in Sociology has equipped our alumni to understand and function more effectively in the social world as professionals, citizens, and persons, providing the necessary knowledge base and analytical, writing, and critical thinking skills. Augsburg alumni who have majored in Sociology are currently employed in the nonprofit sector, research positions, human resources positions in both government and private corporations, criminal justice field, and as professors of sociology. Others have used the major as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, human services, social work, urban planning, and the ministry. Sociology Faculty Lars Christiansen (Chair), Nancy Fischer, Garry Hesser, Diane Pike, Tim Pippert, James Vela-McConnell Degree and Major Requirements Sociology Major Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an excellent undergraduate major that applies to a number of fields from human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The foundation of the major at Augsburg is that it provides a clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the major, and integrates and reinforces a challenging set of important skills; those skills include abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, basic research, integration of theory and data, and the connection of the individual and collective perspectives in the unique way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students. The electives allow students to choose courses that add other skills related to areas of career interest. The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper division courses from the specified list below: Core courses: SOC 121 - Introduction to Sociology SOC 362 - Statistical Analysis SOC 363 - Research Methods SOC 485 - Sociological Theory SOC 490 - Senior Seminar and Keystone At least three of the following upper division courses (Prerequisite: SOC 121): SOC 320 - Sociology of Law SOC 349 - Organizations and Society: Understanding Nonprofits and Corporations SOC 375 - Social Psychology SOC 377 - Organizational Crime and Deviance SOC 380 - Disaster and Resilience 207 SOC 381 - City and Regional Planning SOC 387 - Juvenile Delinquency SOC 390 - Social Problems Analysis SOC 399 - Internship Two additional sociology electives Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or higher in each required course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in the major. Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements. Interest Tracks In order to focus preparation for careers and further study, the Department offers interest tracks within the major. These interest tracks are: City and Community; Crime and Deviance; Law; Organizations; and Social Psychology. The Interest Tracks guide majors in selecting elective courses in a way that tailors their sociological training, experiences and skills. Working with an advisor and following the guidelines and recommendations provided at the links below, Sociology majors can design a pathway through the major that directs them toward careers or graduate work in criminal justice, law, organizational development, public relations, social services, and urban studies. Students who are interested in pursuing an interest track should discuss this with their advisor or the Sociology Department chair. A full description of each interest track may be found at the Sociology Department website, www.augsburg.edu/sociology. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. Departmental Honors To complete departmental honors in Sociology, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the major and overall. See department chair and website for specific requirements. An application for departmental honors/graduation with distinction must be completed by spring of the junior year. Minor Five courses including SOC 121 and at least two upper division courses taken at Augsburg College. Students are required to have a 2.0 or higher in SOC 121 and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the minor. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 208 Theater Arts Theater is an ever-changing field that is important to understand in cultural and societal context. In our courses, productions, recitals, and artist series, the study of theater embraces both classical and new forms, examines global and local perspectives, and encourages in-depth creative exploration. Students are challenged to deepen their critical thinking abilities and to master professional skills while also exploring new approaches to theater through their studies in design, directing, performing, and playwriting. Students thoughtfully interrogate issues of cultural representation and diversity as they find and express their own creative visions. The program prepares them well to continue with their education and/or to become leaders in the field of theater and performance studies. The study of theater is firmly grounded in the liberal arts, integrating knowledge and principles from many academic and artistic disciplines, including literature, history, philosophy, religion, speech, art, music, and dance. Both the high quality curriculum and dramatic productions of our department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for students and the campus, while providing a solid base in classical, modern, contemporary, and multicultural theater. In order to encourage non-majors to become involved in our department, we offer six theater arts minors and welcome all Augsburg students to become involved in our productions. Augsburg’s location in the heart of a nationally recognized theater community makes it an ideal place to study theater. At Augsburg we seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theater artists and scholars by encouraging connections between our campus and the greater arts community, while also exploring connections between theory and application. Students have the opportunity to make these connections through course study, theatrical production work, participation in the Artist Series (an annual series of events featuring visiting theater professionals from the local community who work closely with students), and attendance at numerous professional productions throughout the Twin Cities. Augsburg productions are a valuable opportunity for students to enter into creative collaboration with faculty and professional artists-in-residence. We value and regard theater productions as a critical and vital laboratory for student learning and training, and we hold our productions to the highest standards of the profession. Many of the skills acquired by Theater majors or minors are valuable and transferable to other professions: collaboration, verbal and nonverbal communication, organization, critical thinking, leadership, creativity, and selfexpression. Involvement in theater arts can help prepare students for successful careers in law, education, business, communication, journalism, and many other fields, as well as in professional or academic theater, television, or film.

Urban Studies brings many different perspectives to the study of urban life. It is an interdisciplinary major where students use the tools of sociology, political science, history, environmental studies, art and architecture to understand metropolitan areas in terms of complex relationships that contribute to opportunities and challenges. The major is designed with experiences that utilize the city as our classroom, demonstrating the interplay of theory, policy, and lived experience. Coursework often includes walking tours, field trips, and field research. Augsburg College’s Urban Studies program emphasizes the theme of planning urban and suburban areas to be more environmentally sustainable and promotes the health and civic engagement of citizens. The Urban Studies major helps prepare students for careers and graduate work in community organizing, urban planning, public administration, environmental advocacy and sustainability planning, government service, social welfare and non-profit work, and architecture. All students participate in internships that reflect their career interests as part of their experience. Many students who major in Urban Studies double-major in related disciplines such as Environmental Studies, Political Science or Sociology. If you’re interested in double-majoring, please consult the director of Urban Studies about how to best plan your academic schedule to accommodate both majors. Urban Studies Faculty: Nancy Fischer (Director, Sociology), Kristin Anderson (Art), Andrew Aoki (Political Science), Lars Christiansen (Sociology), Keith Gilsdorf (Economics), Michael Lansing (History), and Joseph Underhill (Political Science).

Introduction to Interim Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 '12 weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their courses. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for graduation. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 course credits required for graduation. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult the registrar for the number of Interim courses required. Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time students (fall term). If less than full-time, they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a cross registration but will be charged day school tuition ($1,564) per course credit. If they do so they may take only 1.0 additional course credits in Weekend College for winter trimester. Augsburg College, as affirmed in its mission, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and/or school administered programs, except in those instances where religion is a bonafide occupational qualification. Augsburg College is conimitted to providing reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students. Any questions concerningAugsburgs compliance with fideral or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Lora Steil, affirmative action coordinator, Ofice of Human Resources, CB 79,Augsburg College, 2211 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be reached by telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail, ateil@augsburg.edu>. Options International Interim-Students are invited to participate in the international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE) and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on page 45. Some courses have early registration deadlines. Internships deadline-Friday, December 11. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental requirements and present a signed internship-learning agreement plan to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first day of Interim classes. The learning-agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning internships is available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning. Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements 2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4- 1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs are available in the registrar's office. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing, or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,564 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Office of the Registrar for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Office of Residence Life. It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199,299,399, or 499 courses.

Prerequisite: Junior standing or consenl of the instructor Liberal Arts Perspective: IntercuNural Awareness 1 Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: I Room: Old Main 29 Introduction to Polymer Chemistry and American Plastic CHM 104-J Instructor: Ron Fedie Previously there was the Stone Age, Iron Age, and Bronze Age. Now we live in the Age of Plastics. Without this innovative technology, life as we know it would be much different. The variety of polymer molecules and their properties make up various plastics. Through chemistry the variations are endless. Many items and materials such as coatings, adhesives, leisure/sports equipment, construction supplies, automobile parts, clothes, medical supplies, cosmetics, and others used every day come from different polymer molecules. In this course we will explore and discuss the world of polymer chemistry with a special focus on plastic. There are both synthetic and natural polymers. Most plastics come from synthesized polymers found in "plastic" wrap and trash bags. A common natural polymer, polyisoprene, is collected from the sap of rubber tree-golf balls and latex gloves are just two of its popular uses. The class will also focus on the book American Plastic: A Cultural History by Jeffrey Meikle. Themes from the book, the different types of polymers used, and recent themes such as the recycling of plastics will be discussed. There will be supplemental handouts on some of the important natural polymers not covered in the book. There will be labs in which some polymer molecules will be made and the various properties will be explored. This will help to give a hands-on experience with the seemingly unlimited possibilities of properties in these long chain molecules. Prerequisite:Malh Placement Group 2 Liberal Arts Perspeclive: Natural World 1 or 2 Maximum Enmllmenl: 25 Time: I1 Room: Science 315 Introduction to Computer Science and Communications CSC 160-J Instructor: Larry Ragland This course introduces the major areas of computer science and computer communications.

This course will consist of lecture/discussion times with frequent in-class lab exercises on the topics above. Grading will be based on examinations, labs, and homework. This is not a course in computer applications or how to use computers, although we may touch on these topics. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 3 Maximum Enrollment: 15 Time: I Room: Sverdrup 212 Economics of Urban Issues ECO 110-J Instructor: Satya Gupta Study of economic implications of the many problems facing a metro-urban environment. Some of the topics to be discussed are: crime prevention, health issues, discrimination, education, etc. Basic microeconomics tools of analysis will be developed in class. This is a basic course designed for those students who do not plan to major in economics, business administration, accounting, or MIS. Three objective examinations. Liberal Arts Perspective: City or Social World 1 or 2 Maximum Enrollment: 15 Time: I Room: Old Main 11 Contemporary Economic Issues EGO 195-J lnstructor: Jeanne Boeh This course will focus on using the basic tools of economic analysis to analyze current policy questions. The course will emphasize the skills of critical thinking and speaking. Students will read articles presenting at least two sides of an issue. Classroom and out-of-classroom assignments will be geared toward developing thinking skills necessary to evaluate policy positions. This course does not serve as a substitute for either Economics 112 or 113. Course grade will be based on two in-class tests, assignments, and participation. Prerequisite: Student must have passed Critical Thinking assessment or have successfully completed GST 100. Graduation Skill Requirement: Critical Thinking Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: I Room: Old Main 13 International Education EDU 353-J lnstructor: Rich Germundsen This seminar-style course presents an examination and comparison of selected Western and non-Western educational systems with special attention on Scandinavian and Central American models. The course also draws attention to our personal responsibilities to educate ourselves so that we can understand and participate in the emerging global society. There will be lectures, discussions, and presentations by students and guest speakers. Student evaluation will be based on class presentations and investigative projects. Liberal Arls Perspective: Social World 2 Maximum Enrollmenl: 15 Time: I Room: Sverdrup 17 Practicum and Seminar in Special Education EDU 491-J Instructor: Susan OJConnor A supervised field placement that serves people with disabilities, plus an on-campus seminar. Students planning to take this course should consult with the special education coordinator about a placement prior to registering for the course. Students must complete designated hours of fieldwork as well as written and reading assignments. Prerequisite: EOU 282, completion of courses for special education minor, or consent of instructo~ Maximum Enrollmenf: 9 (This course involves fieldworksupe~isionfor the faculty member) Time: 11 Room: Sverdrup 4 American Dialects: Differences and Attitudes ENG 219-J Instructor: John Schmit Language plays an important role in our socialization and acculturation. The way we speak tells others who we are and tells us who others are. Our speech is a reflection of our social and economical standing and our cultural background. For this reason we should expect women to speak differently from men. And yet somehow we do not. We should expect anyone from a different background to have differences of language. Even more importantly, we must understand these differences in order to make sure that we understand speakers from different language communitites. This course will examine the dialects of various English-speaking communities and attempt to describe and understand their rules of speech: their grammatical rules, phonological rules, and their rules on discourse. It will include lectures, student presentations, and student-led discussions. Besides presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the presentation topic and take a final exam. Liberal Arts Perspective: Intercultural Awareness 1 Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: I1 Room: Old Main 29 Topics: Introduction to Asian American Literature ENG 282/382-1 Instructor: Joan Thompson In an essay about multicultural American literature, Walter J. Ong writes that "literature is organized experience and consciousness. Since cultures organize experience and consciousness variously, the study of the literature of another culture opens new vistas both into the exterior world and into the human heart." This course will explore some of these vistas through readings and discussions of nonfiction works, poetry, short stories, a play, and a novel by Asian American authors. Some ideas the writers take as subjects through their art include definitions of an Asian American voice, explorations of cultural and individual identity, visions of community, and coming of age. Class sessions will include discussion of the historical and social contexts that influence the writers studied. In addition to the reading, students will view at least one Asian American film and possibly attend a relevant performance or reading. Course grades will be based on reading journal, a short paper, a final exam, class attendance, and participation. Upper division students will read an additional novel and write a research-based paper on it. Liberal Ads Perspective: Intercultural Awareness 1 Maxium Enrollment: 25 Time: I1 Room: Old Main 16 Topics: The Heroic Journey ENG 282-J Instructor: Joan Griffin "The hero:' says Joseph Campbell, "is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations to the generally valid, normally human forms." This struggle, the heroic journey, is a quest for wholeness, for harmony with oneself, one's society, and even the universe. The journey may be physical, moral, psychological, or spiritual, but it always concludes with the regeneration of the hero and/or the redemption of the hero's society. This course will study archetypal patterns of the heroic journey as well as specific examples of such journeys, emphasizing the work of Joseph Campbell, but also citing studies of the hero by Lord Ragland, Carol Pearson, and Richard Slotkin, among others. We will note that major heroic genres in western traditionthe epic and romance-almost always assume that the hero is usually a warrior and aristocrat. Thus we will analyze typical elements of the heroic warrior myth as depicted in ancient and medieval epics and romances, but will also pay particular attention to its appearance in contemporary American popular narratives. We will consider the implications of the enduring popularity of this rendition of the heroic journey. The heroic journey, however, is a human journey, and thus the course will also emphasize the heroic journeys of women as well as of men who may be neither aristocratic nor warriors. As a lower division literature course, ENG 282 does not assume that the student is proficient in literary analysis. Rather the course will help students develop analytic and critical reading, thinking, and writing abilities. Course requirements: There will be 15 class meetings, each lasting three to four hours. Course grades are based on class attendance and participation as well as on daily writing and formal papers. If you must miss more than one or two classes or frequently leave class early, you should not take this course.

It's got four more letters than ours, but some of the letters are the same. There is just one new sound-the same "r" that's in Spanish. The alphabet that features a backwards "R" and an "H"that morphs into an "0"gets a lot of use in international business, in science, and in the arts. More Europeans speak Russian natively than any other language: 170 million native speakers. The course will hit vocabulary, sentence structure, communication, and culture-like any other foreign-language course on campus. And that alphabet means you'll be giggling all the time.

This course provides an opportunity to visit some of the great European cultural centers that provided the impetus for development of cultural life in the New World. Group discussions and assigned readings increase student sensitivity to architecture and other visual arts seen in the museums. Students listen critically to concerts of musical masterpieces heard at each site. Relationships between the various art mediums come to life through these experiences. There is also ample time for independent exploration. Evaluation is based on full participation in all course-related group activities, a daily professional journal, art-music sheets, and exams over material covered.

It is always a pleasure to introduce the Augsburg experience to prospective students and to welcome new and returning students. Some people refer to us as "the small town campus in the heart of the city." That phrase does indeed capture our character and our strength as a college. Augsburg is an affordable, quality liberal arts college of the church, a place where people know and care about you. Here you can also gain "real world" experience to complement your education - before you enter the workplace for the first time. The College continues to grow and build on its long tradition of academic excellence. I invite you to become a part of the Augsburg experience by joining this caring and diverse community of learners and teachers. I look forward to meeting you on campus. Sincerely, Charles S.

A \ t Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new experiences and new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is your best preparation for living in the fastpaced, changing and complex world of today and tomorrow. Upon graduation, you will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems and communicate effectively. Select from 50 majors Augsburg offers more than 50 majors or you can create your own major either on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). (See page 49 for a complete list of majors and minors.) This five-college consortium allows students to take courses on other campuses without charge. The ACTC includes Augsburg College, Harnline University, Macalester College, the University of St. Thomas, and the College of St. Catherine. We emphasize values, perspectives, experience and skills The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg Curriculum - the College's general education program that structures your liberal arts studies through challenging and thought-provoking courses that require students to consider important issues and examine values questions. These liberal arts perspectives include western heritage, intercultural awareness, human identity, the social world, Christian faith, the city, aesthetics and the natural world. At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve you for a lifetime - writing, speaking, critical t h d u n g and quantitative reasoning, to name a few. Thanks to Augsburg's prime location in the heart of a thriving metropolitan area, many courses are able to offer rich and varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer community service and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities are an extended campus for Augsburg students. Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College: To nurture leaders in service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. A College of the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September, 1869, in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879. l o About Augsburg - Early Leaders Establish a Direction The Focus Changed August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). This attitude began to change after World War I. In 1911, Georg Sverdrup, Jr., became president. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the College as a teacher and administrator. Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway - Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students; and third, educate the farmer, worker and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over one hundred years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876-1907),required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto, "Education for Service." In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. But the college division was still important primarily as an attachment to the s ~ m i n a ~ . The College's mission assumed a double character - ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962).His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College was a larger part of the institution than the seminary, and received the most attention. Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modem college program based on general education requirements and elective majors. With curriculum change came a long effort to become accredited. The College reached accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the College's mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Serninarv) in St. Paul in 1963. About Auasbura l1 A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (19631980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city. He wanted to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the College became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower, Umess Tower, the Christensen Center, Ice Arena and Murphy Place. Dr. Charles S. Anderson has led the College since 1980. He guides Augsburg's commitment to liberal arts education, spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the city as extensions of campus and classroom. Augsburg continues to grow under his leadership. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting three graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events, increased accessibility, and the addition of the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication and the Oscar Anderson Residence Hall. Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church; Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative and successful citizens; The city -with all its excitement, challenges and diversity - is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metropolitan center. There are now more than 13,000 Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the College, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work. In addition to a traditional undergraduate liberal arts and sciences "day" program, Augsburg offers a Weekend College program for nontraditional students and master's degree programs in social work, leadership and education-leadership.

Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Because our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, growth groups, outreach teams and community outreach opportunities, retreats, peace and justice forums, concerts and gatherings are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty and staff gather each day to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. On Sundays, Trinity Lutheran worship services are held on campus, with many other churches within walking distance. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gfts and sense of call and vocation that God has given them. As a college of the church, we encourage students to form values guided by our Christian heritage, which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond their years at Augsburg. The College Pastor and Campus Ministry staff have offices in the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support or information. Through student government students secure a closer relationship with and better understanding of the administration and faculty, and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg.

FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE PROGRAM WE) The FYE program assists students in their first Augsburg registration, provides orientation events before classes begin, and also includes a seminar series. A campus-wide computer network offers a full range of network services. Augsburg College, a member of the National Science Foundation's Internet since 1990, is connected to hundreds of universities in the U.S. and around the world. Internet access and a renewed focus on educational technology allows Augsburg to integrate these electronic resources into many different areas of the learning process. FYE reflects the College's commitment to a meaningful introduction to college for our students - an enriching beginning for a college career. To provide focus for this introduction, the FYE seminar is centered on a series of themes. These themes are reflected in and expanded upon in readings, discussions and other activities. Diversity, tradition, change, ways of knowing and what it means to be an educated person are all themes associated with the program. (Also see page 136.) The construction of the new Library/ Information Technology Center will enhance further the College's computer resources for students. Augsburg maintains its own Gopher and World Wide Web site. The Web address is: http: / /www.augsburg.edu (Also see Honors Computing and Communication Labs under Honors Program on page 52.)

The program combines academic and cultural components with social activities. Members of the program normally enter as freshmen, but students may enter the program as late as the beginning of the junior year. Students graduate from the Honors Program upon successful completion of the program, which is noted on the transcript and which provides an advantage for both employment and graduate school application. The Honors Program at Augsburg was awarded a National Science Foundation Grant, for the years 1995-1997, to establish two Honors Computing and Communications Labs, one in Foss 20 and the other in Library 20, and to put the program on a computational footing. Students entering the program as freshmen are required to take an Honors version of CSC 160, Introduction to Computer Science and Communications, which establishes crisp computing and communications skills at the outset of their collegiate careers. Other courses in the program make use of these computing skills in lab-oriented sequence exploring literature, writing, history, religion, philosophy and social and natural science. During the junior and senior years, students take four mini-seminars (one full course credit upon completion), one each semester and participate in a six-week Monday Forum program each term. Seniors take a Senior Seminar during Interim, which satisfies a Perspective requirement, and are obliged to complete an approved Honors project. Some seniors satisfy this requirement by serving on the Augsburg Honors Review, a yearly journal which publishes outstanding student papers. Requirements center on full participation in the program and the maintenance of at least a 3.3 GPA the freshman year, a 3.4 the sophomore year, and a 3.5 the last two years. Please direct enquiries to Dr. Joan Griffin, Associate Director of the Honors Program, 330-1045, or Dr. Lany Crockett, Director of the Honors Program, 330-1060. INTER-INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs.

Through study abroad students may meet with grassroots women's organizations in Mexico, work in a small business or artisan program in Kenya, examine Scandinavian perspectives on world peace in Norway, or thrill to the sounds of The Magic Flute at the Viennese state opera house. Study abroad provides opportunities to develop critical thinking skills, strengthen language competencies, further career paths, experience different cultures, and gain knowledge about the increasingly interdependent world. Academic Requirements and Credit Study abroad is an integral part of several majors at Augsburg, but will add an international dimension to any academic program. Students normally receive the same number of course credits abroad as if studying on-campus. Courses abroad can fulfill major, general education, and graduation requirements when approved by academic advisers and department chairs before departure. Students receive advice on selecting programs which best fit their academic, career and personal objectives.

EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS One advantage of Augsburg's metro location is its highly successful Experiential Education programs which link the College's academic program to Twin Cities employers and organizations. The result is a resume that is more attractive to potential employers after graduation. Through Internships, Cooperative Education and Community ServiceLearning, Augsburg students integrate and expand their liberal arts education by embracing the worlds of work and service. Each work or community service placement is closely related t i a student's major, course work or career interest. Augsburg's Internship, Cooperative Education and Community Service programs link employers, community organizations and the academic program in ways that enrich and expand a student's educational experience and personal development. An underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of "knowing and doing" adds breadth and depth to the liberal arts curridum and assists students in making more informed academic, career and personal decisions. The College's metropolitan location makes possible a wide range of opportunities. Students have gained valuable learning experiences in small and mid-size companies, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government agencies and community-based organizations.

Service-Learning Augsburg's Service-Learningprogram combines response to human needs in the community with a conscious awareness and understanding of issues, reflection and educational growth. Augsburg students learn from and about the community and society in whch they live by participating in orientation sessions, direct service-learning activities and seminars or class discussions. Through direct service, such as volunteering at a homeless shelter, tutoring, building housing for low-income people or working with environmental groups, students engage in a dynamic and interactive educational approach which employs reciprocal learning between the student@)and the community. Service-Leaming includes course-embedded community service, tutoring, internships, cooperative education and a wide range of volunteer options. The Service-LearningProgram works with community organizations and organizes specific projects to enhance student involvement and also assists with and supports the integration of servicelearning into departmental courses. The program works closely with the student directed Augsburg LINK program and Campus Ministry.

Degree requirements include completion of a minim- number of credits, a major, the First Year Experience (FYE), a minimum GPA, residence, and general education courses. Requirements For Undergraduate Graduation: 1. Completion of 33 course credits At least 11course credits must be Upper Division, numbered in the 300s and 400s. Not more than 13 course credits may be in one department, except in certain approved majors: Accounting (B.A.) - 14; Music Education (B.M.) - 17; Music Performance (B.M.) - 20; M9ic Therapy (B.S.) - 17; Physician Assistant (B.A.) - 19.5; and Social Work (B.S.) - 15. The course total must include two Interims for students whose complete academic work is at Augsburg. For transfer students, the course total must include one less Interim course than the number of years at Augsburg (but no more than two Interim courses are required). This is calculated on each transfer student's evaluation of transfer credits. No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 33 total course credits required: two Interim courses; two courses by independent/directed study; four courses of internship; and eight course credits with a grade of Pass (P). Nontraditional grading (P) also has these limits: two in the major except Elementary Education (two in the major plus student teaching) and Nursing (no P/N grading is pennit- ted); one in the minor if approved by the department chairperson. Interim courses taken that are not counted among the credit total for graduation requirements (extra interim courses) may still be counted for meeting perspective or graduation skills requirements. 2. Completion of a Major - Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings. 3. First Year Experience (FYE) -All students who enter the College as freshmen in the weekday schedule program must complete satisfactorily the FYE Fall Orientation and Seminar. See the program section on the First Year Experience for a full description. 4. Grade Point Average -2.0 for most majors. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required over all courses taken and specifically over all courses which apply toward a major or special program. Some majors, licensure and certification require higher grades in each course or a higher grade point average. (For example, see licensure in education, music education, music performance, music therapy, nursing, social work.) See the departmental section for details. 5. Residence - The last year of fulltime study or equivalent (no less than 7 of the last 9 credits) must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved ACTC exchange program. No less than a total of 9 credits are to be taken at Augsburg College. Contact the Registrar if an official interpretation is needed. Some departments have a minimum number of courses which are required to be taken in residence within the major. Consult the catalog description of the major or the chairperson of the department. 63 - Academic Information SKILLS COMPONENT Entry Level Skills Requirements The entry level skills tests are inventory assessments in: Writing Mathematics Critical thinking Placement in writing courses, math courses and critical thinking courses is determined by the assessments (see page 71.) Freshmen (all students entering Augsburg with fewer than seven college credit courses) and Sophomore Transfer Students having fewer than 14 courses: Take entry level skills assessments and satisfy requirements. If skill levels are deficient, students will be enrolled in the appropriate course or advised on preparation for retaking the respective tests. Students are required to take the assessments before registering for the second term and to have demonstrated removal of deficiencies by the end of their first year at Augsburg. Effective Writing or its equivalent is required. Students who do not satisfy the entry level skill in writing will be required to take ENG 101 Developmental Writing before ENG 111 Effective Writing. Freshmen should complete the writing requirement before the beginning of their sophomore year. Students who have college credit for a critical thinking or logic course are exempt from the critical thinking inventory. Freshman and Sophomore transfer students will be required to satisfy all the graduation skill course requirements. Advanced Transfer Students Transfer students who enter with 14 credits or more are exempt from critical thinking assessments. Those who have not passed the equivalent of ENG 111 Effective Writing course must take the entry level test in writing. Augsburg's entry level test in writing will determine placement in an appropriate writing course. Advanced transfer students are required to satisfy all the graduation skill course requirements, except that only the writing component course within the majc is required. Math Requirement In order to graduate, students must tal the Math Placement exam and achieve a score placing them in Group III(college algebra skills). Students with an acceptable transfer mathematics course will have their placement level determined by the Registrar's Office. Students who have passed the College Board Advanced Placement Exam should consult the Mathematics Department. Math placemen is indicated on the Evaluation of Transfer Credit form for students who have transfe courses in college-level math. All students are required to have their Math Placement Group determined. The exam is given during college registration sessions and at other announced times during the year. Students needing to advance their Math Placement Group maj take the appropriate MAT course or study on their own and retest. Additional information about the Math Placement Exam is available from the Academic Advising Center. Academic Information Please note that all students must attain ~tleast Math Placement Group 111. In tddition, many courses have Math Placenent Group requirements. In particular, dIS 379,479; CSC 170,210; SOC 362; PHY -03; all MAT courses; and all courses with t Graduation Skill Component in Quantitaive Reasoning have at least Math Placenent Group III as,a prerequisite. In tddition, MIS 175 and introductory Physics :ourses have at least Math Placement ;roup I1 as a prerequisite. Students should ,efer to the course descriptions to check the dath Placement Group prerequisites for :ourses that they are interested in taking. Lraduation Level Skills General Education includes enhancenent of certain skills during the years in :ollege. Slulls related to writing, critical hinking, speaking and quantitative ,easoning are deliberate components of :ertain courses. Completion of the requisite :ourses with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P s required for graduation. Students are 'equired to have two courses with writing :omponents (at least one within the major) md one course each with critical thinking, ;peakingand quantitative reasoning :omponents. These courses can simultaleously satisfy skill requirements and paduation requirements for the major or ;enera1 education perspectives. All Writing Graduation Skill courses lave the prerequisite of ENG 111, all bantitative Reasoning Graduation Skill :ourses have the prerequisite of Math racement Group In, and all Critical b & i n g Graduation Skill courses have the >rerequisiteof passing the Entry Level Zritical Thinking Assessment. Lifetime Sports Two different lifetime sports are required. Students in the Day program who are not Health and Physical Education majors or in intercollegiate athletics may test out of one lifetime sport. Weekend College students may test out of two lifetime sports. Lifetime Sports are nocredit courses, are not counted as meeting Interim course requirements and are not included in the 33 course requirement. LIBERAL ARTS PERSPECTIVES The General Education Liberal Arts Perspectives have the primary goal of providing the basis for beginning to understand what it means to be a human being. The goals of the Perspectives are achieved through a variety of courses which have been approved as meeting the criteria established for each Perspective. Students will choose from a list of courses meeting the Liberal Arts Perspectives, available from the Office of the Registrar. These choices are controlled by the following policies: 1. A student will choose a minimum of one course from each required perspective category. 2. No single course can fulfill the requirements in two or more categories. 3. No student will be permitted to count more than three courses from the same department in meeting perspective requirements. 4. No student may count more than one course from the same department in meeting the requirements of any single perspective emphasis area except: Up to three courses in religion may be used to meet the perspective, "The Charac- 65 66 Academic Information - ter and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith." Up to two courses in a year-long sequence of approved natural science courses may be used to meet the perspective, "The Natural World." Up to two courses of the same modem language may be used to meet part of the perspective, "Intercultural Awareness." RATIONALE FOR PERSPECTIVES Augsburg, in its Mission Statement, declares the College exists "To nurture future leaders of service in the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community." One way which the College seeks consciously to realize this Mission is through its General Education curriculum. The Augsburg faculty has designed a cohesive academic program incorporating general education, major courses, supporting courses and elective courses leading to the bachelor's degree. The core of the Augsburg curriculum is found in the liberal arts as expressed in the General Education component of the college curriculum which is divided under two headings: liberal arts perspectives and skills. The term "perspective" assumes that not only are we engaged in the search for truth, but that this requires the searcher to consider questions from a variety of viewpoints, each of which has something valuable to contribute to the whole. These perspectives are not strictly identified with traditional disciplines, but are understood in ways which encourage multi-disciplin- ary reflections on the questions at issue. They combine concerns about content with those of process and approach, directed ultimately to making the student a more effective learner and participant in society. The following requirements reflect the way in which Augsburg has chosen to view the liberal arts. Two of the four features of the Mission Statement are embodied in the General Education Perspectives: "The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith and the City." These Perspectives emphasize that the College's affiliation with the Lutheran Church, its insistence on the value of knowing the approach which derives from the Christian roots of the College and its location in the city, deserve special consideration in Augsburg's educational program. The third feature - that Augsburg is a liberal arts institution - is also emphasized in the other General Education Perspectives. Certain dimensions of human life - of what it is to be human -form thc core of the required liberal arts experience. These overall perspectives on what it is to be human can themselves be studied from the vantage points of the various academic disciplines. Students need to learn about themselves, about what it is to be a person. Hence, the Perspective on Human Identity. But the person exists in both a social community and a natural world. Hence, the importance of the Perspectives on the Social World and the Natural World. Because the way in which we understand ourselves derives largely from our Western heritage, students need to learn about and reflect on sipficant aspects of this heritage. Thus, the Perspective on the Western Heritage. At the same time, to Academic Information focus on the West alone would be ethnocentric. We live in a global society. Hence the Perspective on Inter-Cultural Awareness. Attention to moral values is found not only in the Perspective on the Character and Mission of the College: the Christian Faith, but throughout the other perspectives as well. The Perspective on Aesthetic Values enables students to focus on aesthetic works created by themselves or others, which convey fundamental insights, express beauty and enhance life. Finally, the Mission Statement emphasizes that we are concerned with academic excellence. Tlus has a number of features, including the way we teach all the courses in General Education. Beyond this, academic excellence presupposes that students have the requisite skills to do college-level work. The General Education Requirements are couched in a context which pays attention to the skills of both incoming and graduating students. Entrylevel skill requirements in a number of critical areas, including reading, writing, mathematics and critical thinking, will be assessed and help given to students who need it. Graduation-level skills are also emphasized, so that students not only maintain but develop their skills during their Augsburg experience. The General Education Requirements provide a coherent way to address the Mission of Augsburg College. They are not the only way, neither do they guarantee that students who graduate from Augsburg possess the desired knowledge and character traits. What they do is provide a coherent description of the context in which we liberally educate students, a clear statement of expected outcomes and an opportunity for students to see and understand the complexity of what it is to be human and Christian in an urban set tin^. THE EIGHT PERSPECTIVE REQUIREMENTS Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The Christian Faith This Perspective focuses on Augsburg as a College of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. As a college of the Church, Augsburg accepts as a basis for its educational program the doctrines of the Christian faith as revealed in Scripture and the creeds affirmed by the Lutheran Church. It consciously affirms that all students should reflect upon the Christian Scriptures, theologcal concepts, ethical values, their own faith and values, and religious concepts outside of the Christian faith as part of becoming educated. Christian Faith (CF 1, 2 and 3) Area 1 is biblical studies, Area 2 covers Christian theology and area 3 includes the study of values or religions outside the Christian faith. Three course credits are required to meet this Perspective except for the following: Transfer students entering with 14-23 course credits will be required to take two courses in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Transfer students entering with 24 or more course credits will be required to take one course in the Christian Faith Perspective while registered at Augsburg. Perspective: The Character and Mission of Augsburg College: The City This Perspective focuses on the College's location in the heart of a metropolitan area. From this Perspective, students should gain an understanding of and critically reflect upon the city with its diverse populations, cultural, govemmen- 67 - Academic Information tal and economic institutions, and opportunities and challenges. In addition, students should experience the community and should explore opportunities for service in the community. This requirement must be covered either by specific courses, by internship and education experiences or by designated or college approved non-credit experiences (such as volunteer service or college programs). Experiences that satisfy the requirement must be accompanied by GST 209 seminar related to the perspective. The City (C) One course credit or experience is required to meet h s Perspective. Perspective: Western Heritage This Perspective is intended to help students critically examine themes (found, for example, in literature, philosophy and the arts) and events that have historically shaped Western civilization. Attention should be paid to the contributions of and to critiques of Western thought by women and ethnic minorities. Western Heritage (WH 1 and 2) Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this Perspective. One course is required to meet this Perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. Perspective: Human Identity This Perspective is intended to help students view themselves as persons, men and women with unique abilities, values, beliefs, experiences and behaviors. Human ldentity (HI) One course credit is required to meet Perspective: Aesthetics Aesthetic creations convey fundaments insights and values, express beauty and enhance life. This Perspective focuses on aesthetic qualities in artistic expressions by oneself and others. Aesthetics (A) One course credit is required to meet this Perspective. Perspective: The Social World This Perspective is intended to help students learn to identify, examine and critique social, economic or political systems: to understand how and why such systems develop, to see the connections among these systems and to use this knowledge as a participant in society. Social World (SW 1 and 2) One course must focus on current theories and methods of a social science. Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this Perspective. One course is required to meet this Perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. Perspective: intercultural Awareness This Perspective is intended to complement the Western Heritage Perspective by expanding students' awareness of other cultures. One course is required in which students critically reflect upon ways their own cultural biases operate when confronting other cultures. They should become better able to communicate with persons of other cultural backgrounds partially by being introduced to a specific culture other than European or mainstream North American cultures. In addition, students are to gain entry Academic Information 69 md read a language other than their native language. For this part of the Perspective, students are required to have jemonstrated proficiency in a modem ianguage or American Sign Language for nearing students. The modem language requirement will 3e determined by assessing previous 2xperience and subsequent placement. Intercultural Awareness (IA 1) The study of a specific, non-Westem :ulture and how that culture has shaped the world. One course credit is required to meet this part of the Intercultural Awareness Perspective. (IA 2 and 3) Study of a modem language other than khe native tongue. Up to two course credits ~f a beginning language or one at your placement level is required. Students with previous language study should contact an ldrnissions counselor or the Registrar's 3ffice for placement information. Students whose native language is not Enghh should :ontact the Academic Advising Center. Modem Language Course Placement Experience or Requirement ,-.

Hearing students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will have fulfilled IA-2 and IA-3 Perspectives. Perspective: The Natural World This Perspective is intended to help students understand themselves in relation to the physical world. Their active role as observers, explorers and moral agents will be emphasized. Sufficient technical training in scientific knowledge, concepts and methods will be provided to equip students for critical and intelligent participation in public debates on technical issues. Natural World (NW 1 and 2) Two course credits from different departments are required to meet this Perspective unless an approved one-year sequence is taken. One course is required to meet h s Perspective for transfer students entering with 14 or more course credits. EXPLANATION OF GRADES Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports and other types of evaluation also are used. Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. PassINo Credit Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: 2 Academic Information In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. 1.0 Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". 0.5 0.0 P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements, page 63. Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (i.e., Lifetime Sports are graded only P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes after the first five days of classes. All changes in grading option that are made after initial registration require the signature of an adviser or the instructor. Numeric Grades Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence Achieves above basic course standards Meets basic standards for the course Performance below basic course standards Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor oj the course; must file a form stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work with comments from the instructor; and must file the form with the Office of the Registrar. If permission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following semester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. Internships, Independent Studies and Directed Studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor reserves the discretion of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not complete, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Academic Information A course in which a grade of 0,0.5,1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be re2eated for credit. Courses in which higher yades have been earned may not be aepeated for credit and a grade, but may be iudited. All courses taken and grades 2arned each term remain on the academic .ecord. O n y the credits and grades earned he second time, for legitimately repeated :ourses, are counted toward graduation md in the grade point average. A course is given a grade of W when it s dropped after the deadline for dropping :lasses without a notation on the record. Iuditing Courses Students who wish to take courses ~ i t h o ucredit t or grade may do so by .egistering for Audit (V). Full-time itudents may audit a course without :barge. The charge for part-time students is isted under College Costs in the Financing four Education section on page 22. The jignature of the instructor is required to .egister an audit. Students who audit a :ourse should confer with the instructor vithin two weeks of the beginning of the , e m to determine expectations, attendance md any other requirements. If expectations lave been met, the course will be listed on he transcript as having been audited. If :xpectations have not been met, the :ourse will be listed with a grade of W Withdrawn). kade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is )ased on final grades for all work at lugsburg. It does not include credit and ~ a d points e for work transferred from )her colleges. Courses taken on the P/N ;rading option are recorded, but not :omputed in the GPA. The formula for :om~utinethe GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of courses taken.* *Courses with 0 to 4 grade assigned Classification Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall and Interim terms. Sophomores - Seven courses completed. Juniors - 16 courses completed. Seniors - 24 courses completed. International Baccalaureate Program (IB) Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate Program will be considered by the College for advanced placement and appropriate credit. Departmental guidelines are available at the Registrar's Office. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The APL program (Assessment of Previous Learning) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1)it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum, and 2) it can be objectively demon- 71 72 Academic Information - strated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recogrution. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: Advanced Placement Program Test (AP) - Advanced placement in courses beyond the beginning level is granted to students with scores of 3,4 and 5 on the CEEB Advanced Placement Program Test. Additional credit or placement is at the discretion of the department. Inquiries should be addressed to the Office of the Registrar. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) - This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar and the Academic Advising Center. Departmental Comprehensive Exams - These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a pass/ no credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of one-half of tuition for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four courses/credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process no be used when four or fewer courses remair for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester Academic Information credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Credit is available on a pass/no credit basis only. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, Upper Division requirements and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning -While Augsburg College recogruzes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight courses (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the four assessment processes available in the APL program: AP exams, CLEP exams, departmental comprehensive exams and credit granted through portfolio assessment. English as a Second Language (ESL) Program Students who declare a language other than English to be their primary language or who are citizens of another c o w must take the ESL placement test in conjunction with the English writing placement test at orientation. Students' placement in ESL, ENG 101 Develoumental writ in^. or ENG 111 Effective Writing will be determined by their scores on the Michigan test (80-100 range for exemption from ESL) and by a writing sample. Near the end of each term of the English as a Second Language course, an objective test will be administered to all students in the class. The score on this test and the grade eamed in the class will determine whether additional ESL course work is required. Usually a score of 80 to 100 and a course grade of 3.5 or 4.0 will fulfill the student's ESL requirement. All students whose native language is not English must stay enrolled in ENG 217/218 until such time that they pass ESL placement test at 80 percent or higher. The ESL course can only be counted twice in the total number of courses required for graduation. Students who fulfill the ESL requirement, by examination or by course completion, have completed the modem language requirement for graduation. 1 ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION AND DISMISSAL The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman -A student who has taken fewer than seven courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore -A student who has taken fewer than 16 courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior- A student who has taken fewer than 24 courses with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior - A student who has taken 24 or more courses with a cumulative GPA of 9 n -- L:-L-- 73 2 Academic Information It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term or will be continued on probation or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Students who have a poor academic record may be strongly advised to withdraw before the end of a term. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. The Dean's List, compiled after each semester, lists students whose grade point average for a semester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time students (a minimum equivalent of three full course credits for a weekday schedule student or two equivalent full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. Courses taken outside of a program's calendar (i.e., crossover courses taken in a Weekend College trimester term by a day program student or in a semester term by a Weekend program student) are not calculated when determining the Dean's List. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum levels stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the Dean's List Qualification for Commencement Augsburg College has one commencement ceremony per academic year in the month of May. Undergraduate students who will not have met degree requirement$ by the end of the Spring Term may quahfy to participate in commencement if: 1) no more than 3 course credits/requirements will remain in their program at the end of the Spring Term, and 2) the remaining requirements will be completed in the Summer or Fall Terms following participation in commencement. Candidates for graduation who will complete Summer or Fall Terms will be noted as such in the commencement program.

Right to Obtain Policy: -You have the right to obtain a copy of the written Augsburg policy regarding FERPA. A copy may be obtained in person from the Registrar's Office. A \ s a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses which make it more accessible to students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general education and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest. Descriptions of courses are arranged by departments and programs. These descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of content, approach and requirements for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor. Department entries also contain a narrative discussion of the educational philosophy of each department, its goals and its place in the College's program. A listing of requirements for individual majors and minors follows the narrative. Class Schedule Courses listed are subject to change. In general, classes are offered Fall and/or Spring terms unless otherwise indicated. The Schedule of Classes published by the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) each spring lists offerings and locations for Fall and Spring terms. Since some courses are offered alternate years, it is important that the student review with an adviser to ensure that all requirements can be met. Descriptions and schedules for courses offered in January Interim, Summer School, Augsburg Weekend College and the Master of Arts in Leadership, Master of Arts in Education-Leadership and the Master of Social Work programs are published in separate catalogs. Credits A full course is offered for one course credit. A few fractional courses, for one-half or one-quarter course credit, are offered in the Division of Professional Studies. Unless noted, all courses are one course credit. A full course has the approximate value of four semester credits or six quarter hours. Most courses meet for three 60-minute periods or two 90-minute periods a week, in addition to laboratories. Numbering Courses numbered below 300 are Lower Division courses. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as Upper Division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for freshmen, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for seniors. Prerequisites Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the course description. A student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Every department offers opportunities Departments and Programs 79 course description and process for registering is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional statements and that will be found in the departmental course listing. INTERNSHIPS Registration for Internships consists of the following steps: 1. Obtain the Internship Registration Permission Form from the Internship and Cooperative Education Office and secure the signatures of the faculty supervisor and director of Internships and Cooperative Education. 199 399 2. Register for a 199 or 399 Internship during the registration period. The signed permission form must be turned in at the time of registration. (Students may preregister without a placement secured, but a suitable internship must be found by the end of the registration or drop/add period.) 3. A learning agreement (forms are available from the Internship and Cooperative Education Office) must be negotiated with the faculty member responsible for grading the experience and the work supervisor. The completed original is turned in to the Internshp and Cooperative Education Office, with copies made for the faculty, supervisor and student. lnternship A work or service-based learning experience at the sophomore level in whch a student, faculty member and site supervisor design a learning agreement which links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities inherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the beginning of the term/ registration, interested students must consult with the departmental Internship Coordinator and the Internship Office regarding requirements and permission to register. lnternship A work or service-based learning experience at the junior-senior level in which a student, faculty member and site supervisor design a learning agreement which links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunitiesinherent in the placement. Participation in a concurrent seminar is often expected. Prior to the b e p n i n g of the term/ registration, interested students must consult with the departmental Internship Coordinator and the Internship Office regarding requirements and permission to register. DIRECTED AND INDEPENDENT STUDIES 299 Directed Study An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an Instructor. Open to all students, but normally taken by sophomores and juniors. Approval must be secured from the instructor and the department chairperson in writing before the term in which the study is undertaken. 499 Independent StudyIResearch An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Normally open to junior and senior majors. Approval must be secured from the instructor and the department 8o - ACCOUNTING See listing under Business Administration and Management Information Systems. AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES See listing under Interdisciplinary Studies. & t is important as a field of study for our time. Our survival as a culture may very well depend on whether we are able to create order and beauty in the design and function of communities. Realizing this, we have made design and sensitivity to all aspects of visual experience central to the art program at Augsburg. Giving and receiving visual messages is so much a part of everyday life that it is often taken for granted. At the same time, however, the interchange of visual ideas is frequently misunderstood. The task of the artist, art teacher and art historian is to celebrate visual experience through a variety of media and art examples. In short, the visual arts teach us how to see. Because of the College's commitment to the liberal arts, the visual arts, as taught at Augsburg, draw ideas and inspiration from all disciplines. Art as a human activity does involve manual skill, although to become broadly significant it should interact with the content available in other fields, such as language, history, drama, music, literature, philosophy, theology, business, physical education and science. A liberal arts college like Augsburg is an ideal setting for the study of art because it provides a constant possibility for the interaction of ideas, disciplines and attitudes. At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a sipficant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Art Faculty Kristin Anderson (Chair), Norman Holen, Philip Thompson Studio Art Major Majors are required to begin their programs with the Studio Arts Foundations: ART 102 Design ART 107 Drawing One course in two-dimensional art from: ART 118 Painting I or ART 223 Printmaking I Art or ART 225 Communication Design I or ART 360 Watercolor Painting One course in three-dimensional art from: ART 221 Sculpture I or ART 250 Ceramics I Five additional studio arts courses ART 240 Art History Survey And two additional art history courses Senior studio majors must participate in at least one exhibit during their final year.

B iolow is the study of life and it is natural that we, as contemplative living zreatures, seek a deeper understanding of the living world that envelops us. This search has led to the realization that the tarth is filled with an enormous variety of living organisms. Since humans are a part 3f the biological world, an understanding ~f the basic biologcal processes common to 311 organisms, as well as those features which are unique to humans, is essential to ~ttainself-understanding - and to provide a basis for wise decisions. -< Even the simplest organisms are incredibly complex and a complete understanding of even one of these has, as yet, eluded biologsts, even though some ~rganismshave been subjected to years of intensive scrutiny. Biology will thus zontinue to be a fertile field for research for many years to come. Still, in recent decades great strides have been made in understanding important biological processes, particularly those at the cellular, molecular, and ecosystem levels. Biological research has also provided some extremely important benefits to humans, including advances in medicine, 3griculture and food science. Because a complete understanding of 2iological systems depends on applications ~f the principles of physics and chemistry, 3 firm background in the physical sciences is also important, to support the student's xoad-based understanding of biology. For many, an undergraduate major in 2iology serves primarily as a basis for hrther study. Augsburg graduates have 3one on to further studies in the Life ;ciences, leading to careers in college or miversity teaching, basic and applied research, and public health. Others have mtered professional programs in medicine, veterinary medicine and dentistry. Other graduates have gone directly into a variety of careers, including secondary education and laboratory technology. Biology Faculty Esther McLaughlin (Chair),William Capman, Mary K.

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

The major provides a foundation for graduate work in various fields such as anthropology, economics, history, international relations, business, law, political science, sociology and theatre. This major is also recommended for those interested in education and work with social and recreational agencies. East Asian Studies Faculty Martha Johnson, Director Major in East Asian Studies Nine courses are required for the major. Courses in the major must be approved by the campus adviser, and are distributed as follows: four courses in an East Asian language; four additional courses, two of which must be Upper Division (strongly recommended that one of these be a historj course on China or Japan); and an East Asiarl Studies Seminar. A term of study abroad and the completion of a minor in another discipline are strongly recommended. Study abroad opportunities for the semester or a year are available in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and the People's Republic of China. Study abroad strengthens the East Asian studies major by offering a cross-cultural experience in the country of specialization. Language Courses Hamliie University offers elementary and intermediate courses in Chinese. Macalester College and the University of St. Thomas offer elementary and intermedi. ate courses in Japanese. There is a contractual arrangement with the University of Minnesota to take Chinese or Japanese languages (without extra tuition charges); see campus adviser. Non-majors may also take the Chinese and Japanese language courses. - East Asian Studies Minor in East Asian Studies Five courses, no more than two of which may be in the language. A minor in East Asian studies provides exposure to an area of East Asia which would complement other disciplines. Note: Interim courses or new courses related to the East Asian Studies Program may be substituted when appropriate, with the consent of the campus adviser. Faculty advising is recommended at all stages of the major to plan a coherent and effective program. Each campus has a member on the ACTC East Asian Studies committee who can assist students. The current advisers are: Augsburg College - Martha Johnson 330-1715, Hamline University - Richard Kagan 641-2433, Macalester -Yue-him Tam 696-6262, St. Catherine -Martha Hardesty 690-6189, St. Thomas - Robert Foy 962-5603.

Students who graduate with an Economics major are well prepared to continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong liberal arts emphasis within the major. Currently, four majors are offered. The Economics major is designed primarily for students who are planning graduate or advanced professional studies. The Applied Economics major generally leads to careers in the business world or govemment. Computational Economics meets the challenge of the changing career opportunities in the fields of Economics and Computer Science. Finally, the combined Economics/Business Administration major is designed for those who want more flexibility in planning their program of study. The study of Economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to analyze and to make choices. Some reasons for studying Economics are: Economics deals with current problems; Economics is a successful and prestigious social science; Economics employs theoretical models and the scientific method; an Economics major prepares students for community leadership; and an Economics major leads to a great diversity of career opportunities. These include careers in business, law, teaching, journalism, politics, banking and finance, service in government, educational administration, private and public intemational service and industrial relations. A degree in Economics may prove to be a valuable credential. Students are also able to combine an Economics major with other disciplines such as Business Administration, Intemational Relations, Mathematics, Computer Science, Management Information Systems (MIS), Political Science, History and Nordic Area Studies. Transfer students majoring in the Economics Department must take at least four Upper Division Economics courses at Augsburg, one of these must be ECO 312 or 313. Internships are recommended. Students must consult with the Department chair and the Internship office before registering for academic credit. Economics Faculty Satya P.

This program involves four years at Augsburg and, typically, two years at the Institute of Technology. The curriculum is the same as the B.A./ B.E. curriculum with the addition of several extra courses that are completed at Augsburg during the senior year to minimize the number of undergraduate courses, if any, that students must take at the University before proceeding through the graduate curriculum. The number of such courses varies by IT department and area of emphasis within a department. Application for admission into the B.A./M.E. program should be initiated during the second semester of the junior year at Augsburg. Formal application for the program may be completed during the senior year. Those admitted will receive special counseling from the Institute of Technology staff regarding courses that should be taken during the senior year at Augsburg. Participants in the B.A./M.E. program are not guaranteed admission to the Institute of Technology.

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

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

A t least since Socrates, scholars have appreciated the value of mathematics in developing the skills of critical thinking, understanding abstract concepts, and analyzing and solving problems. Coupled with the more modem needs of quantitative reasoning, these skills are still essential for any liberally educated person. Mathematics courses at Augsburg are intended to help develop these skills in three ways. Mathematical ideas have had a formative impact on the development of civilization. Since a liberal education should include a variety of perspectives on our culture and heritage, a study of mathematics and its influences is an important part of a liberal arts education. The Department aims to provide its majors with skills necessary to serve the larger community through a variety of careers. Mathematics majors are prepared for graduate school or work in industry or service professions. Students may pursue a concentration in applied mathematics or the more traditional major. Internship and Cooperative Education options help students take advantage of Augsburg's proximity to the many technically-oriented enterprises in the city. Additionally, an increasing number of academic disciplines require a working knowledge of the tools of mathematics. This Department serves students majoring in a wide variety of fields. Toward the goal of serving students with a diversity of needs, the Department uses a calculus curriculum in which students leam concepts in the context of learning skills of mathematical investigation. A major federal grant supported the development of this AUGMENT curriculum.

T he Modem Languages Department at Augsburg College contributes many ways to realizing the College's mission of providing liberal arts education for service in today's world. The Department is committed to the view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective. The Modem Languages Department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, Norwegian and Spanish. Introductory courses in Arabic, Ojibwe and Russian are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Chinese, Japanese, Latin and Greek are available to Augsburg students through the College's affiliation with ACTC, a consortium of Twin Cities colleges. In addition to courses in language and culture, the Department offers linguistics courses in which students may go beyond the study of individual languages to investigate the general principles that operate in and shape all languages. Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in modem languages. In addition, a minor in languages or linguistics is a valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines. Modern Languages Faculty Frankie Shackelford (Chair), Ruth Aaskov, Mary Kingsley, Pary Pezeckian-Weinberg, R o m h Soto, Donald Steinmetz Major Majors must take nine Upper Division courses, five to seven of them at Augsburg and two to four on an approved studyabroad program. The major consists of 9 Upper Division courses including: 350; two courses in culture; two courses in language (311 or above); two courses in literature; two electives (from any of the three areas above). Minor Minors must take at least two Upper Division courses at Augsburg. 311 is a prerequisite to all other Upper Division courses. The minor must include four courses above 212, including one each in language, literature and culture. Honors Major Majors seeking Departmental honors must apply in the junior year. Requirements: 3.3 GPA in the major, 3.0 GPA overall and honors thesis demonstrating ability in Independent Study for one course credit. Consult Department Chair for details. '70 Modern Languages Transfer Students Teaching Licensure Transfer students intending to major or minor in languages must take a ininimum of one Upper Division course per year at Augsburg. See Department faculty for limits on non-Augsburg courses. Teacher candidates in French, German and Spanish must consult with the Department of Education for specific information and enrollment in the program as well as for information on Special Methods courses. All transfer teacher candidates, including those who have completed a college language major elsewhere, must take at least two courses in language, literature, or culture at Augsburg. A 3.0 average in Conversation and Composition (311) is a Departmental requirement for teaching majors. Licensure requires successful completion of the Competency Exam prior to student teaching. See requirements for State of Minnesota Licensure for Teaching in Secondary Schools under Department of Education. Study Abroad Study abroad is required of all language majors (minimum of one semester) and highly recommended for minors. An advanced-level Internship in the major language (399) or an interdisciplinary Internship (INS 199), linking language skills with community service and career exploration, is strongly encouraged.

The scope of nursing practice is changing and expanding. Nurses are being called on to function in a variety of settings that differ from those in the past. Today nurses work in hospitals, clinics, corporations, government agencies, schools and community organizations. Some are selfemployed, rurming their own businesses. All of these nurses provide comprehensive health assessment for individuals from all cultures and socioeconomic levels. From helping parents have safe deliveries of healthy d a n t s to coordinating home care for the dying, nurses assist people through the entire life span. The bachelor's degree equips the nurse with a working knowledge of the biological, physical, social, behavioral and nursing sciences. The nursing program at Augsburg College also provides the educational opportunities to increase skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation and decision-making that prepare nurses to handle challenging new positions in today's health-care field. Augsburg's nursing program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing, is accredited by the National League for Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for public health nurse registration in Minnesota. With two additional courses, they are eligible to apply for school nurse certification.

Students also must complete Augsburg's residence and General Education Requirements. The program has been planned so that the Nursing major can be completed within two academic years; however, students may pursue their studies at a slower pace. Courses in the Nursing major are offered on weekends with practicum courses requiring additional weekday time. While courses are designed so that the major can be completed within two years, more time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of credits transferred from other colleges or universities. Students in nursing may take non-nursing courses in both Day School and Weekend Nursina College. Students interested in pursuing the Nursing major should consult with an adviser from the Nursing Department for program planning. Honors Major GPA of at least 3.6 in the major and 3.3 overall; application to the Department Chairperson by Nov. 1of the senior year; recommendation by Nursing faculty; honors thesis to be defended before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the thesis. The following steps may be taken in any order, but all must be completed prior to application for admission into the Nursing major. 1. Admission to Augsburg College: Before you can apply for the Nursing Program, you must first be admitted to Augsburg College. All applicants must present a high school diploma or equivalent and a 2.2 GPA. 2. Graduation from an accredited nursing program: Applicants must have graduated from an NLN accredited associate degree or diploma nursing program with a 2.5 overall GPA. 3. Unencumbered RN licensure: The applicant must be a registered nurse who is licensed and currently registered to practice in Minnesota prior to be-g the nursing major. 4. Prerequisite course content: The following content must have been com- pleted with a minimum grade of 2.0 chemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, English composition, introductory sociology and introductory psychology. These courses may be taken at Augsburg or at another accredited college or university. 5. Current clinical practice: Applicants must give evidence of current clinical nursing practice (within the past five years). This may include graduation from a school of nursing, work experience, or completion of a nursing refresher course or an acceptable equivalent. 6. Applicants must carry their own malpractice insurance and current CPR certification. Options for Completing the Degree Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities and work demands that must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full and part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing this degree. The entire Nursing major is available only through Augsburg's Weekend College. Classes usually meet on alternate weekends for one 3 1/2 hour time block. Clinical practice usually occurs on weekdays. Students also can complete their liberal arts General Education Requirements by taking courses in Day School and Weekend College. It is recommended that most liberal arts courses be taken before starting the Nursing major. 195 - Nursing NUR 305 NUR 306 Contemporary Nursing I: Communication Introduces the components of the professional role and continues the professional socialization process.

Students who decelerate for more than five years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is a fee to audit courses. ** This course involves an addifional clinical fee. 197 T he Philosophy Department assists students to understand issues raised in the traditional areas of plulosophy. We consider questions about what knowledge is and how we know, about the nature of reality, about the basis for making moral judgments, and about the rules for correct reasoning. Our goals are to instill in students a love of truth, to inspire a curiosity about the sigruficance and meaning of the world they experience, and to develop the skills of critical analysis and creative synthesis. The department places a special emphasis on the history of philosophy, offering four courses covering the period from the ancient Greeks to the end of the 20th century. In these courses students are taught how to read, understand, and criticize great texts of Western civilization, and to see how ideas have developed and matured through the centuries. The department also offers other courses where philosophy, its methods and ideas are applied to other disciplines like relipon, science and the arts. The major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Though some majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, most use the major to prepare for other professional studies such as law, medicine or the Christian ministry. Philosophy majors generally outperform others on graduate entrance in examinations in medicine and law. Others enter the work place, confident that the study of philosophy has pven them the ability to think critically. Philosophy Department Faculty Mark Fuehrer (Chair),David Apolloni, Paul Holmer (distinguished visiting professor), Bruce Reichenbach Major Nine courses including: PHI 230 Logic PHI 241 History of Philosophy I: The Classical Philosophers PHI 242 History of Philosophy 11: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy PHI 343 History of Philosophy 111: Enlightenment and 19th Century Philosophy PHI 344 History of Philosophy IV: 20th Century Philosophy A 400 level course (other than PHI 499) Three elective courses in Philosphy Note: Five courses must be Upper Division. Honors Major Admission to the Philosophy Honors program is by recommendation of the Philosophy faculty. Such recommendations will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the student's choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the Department. Minor Five courses, including two from PHI 241,242,343 and 344. - Philosophy 199 PHI 110 Introduction to Philosophy This course introduces students to typical philosophical problems (like how we know, can we have certain knowledge, are there universal moral principles), to philosophical vocabulary, and to critical thinking. PHI 120 Ethics By studying our moral beliefs, ethics helps students consider the bases they use to make moral judgments. The course explores major philosophical approaches to evaluating moral actions, and then applies them to contemporary issues. Christian ethics will inform our considerations. Students taking PHI 120 may not take PHI 125. PHI 125 Ethics and Human Identity A philosophical study of the role of human understanding, feelings and action with respect to the pursuit of happiness. Beginning by asking what the end or purpose of human life is, we decide on the moral and intellectual virtues required to reach the end. Topics of friendship and human love are followed by an analysis of human happiness. Students taking PHI 125 may not take PHI 120. PHI 175 Philosophy of Love and Sex We begin by trying to decide what it is to be in love with someone, and how this differs from just being friends or sexually desiring them. We then consider issues such as the ethics of sex, sexual attraction, marriage, adultery and homosexuality. PHI 230 Logic Students learn to distinguish arguments from exposition. Then they learn the rules which govern valid arguments and develop their ability to recognize and construct sound arguments. The last part of the course focuses on inductive reasoning. PHI 241 History of Philosophy I: The Classical Philosophers The writings of Plato and M o t l e are the foundations of all philosophical thought in Western cidization. In this course students read and analyze some of the key works by Plato and Aristotle, as well as Stoic, Epicurean and Neoplatonic writings.

T he Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is designed for students interested in careers as health care providers. The physician assistant concept originated during the mid-1960s. Physicians and educators recofized there was a shortage and uneven distribution of primary care physicians. To combat these problems, the physician assistant program h a s developed. h physician assistits must, by law or regulation, have a supervising physician. An important element of the physician assistant education is the emphasis on patient education. - The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is a 27-month program of study for students with at least 64 semester hours of college credit. A new class of 24 students begins each May. Students who intend to enter the Physician Assistant Program must apply by Dec. 31 of the previous year. The program is very competitive and not all students who apply are accepted. Physician Assistant students who have not previously obtained a baccalaureate degree will earn a Bachelor of Arts in Physician Assistant Studies upon successful completion of the Program. The Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is currently in the process of obtaining accreditation from CAAHEP (Cornrnission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs). At the time of printing of this catalog, the Program was six months from the site visit for accreditation. The mission statement of the Augsburg Physician Assistant Program is to be generalist Physician Assistant professionals, well educated in theory and practice, dedicated to excellence in performance, with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, committed to lifelong personal and wrofessional develowment. reswectful and sensitive to persons of all cultures and backgrounds, and oriented toward service to underserved populations.

Topics covered will be adult and pediatric trauma, surgical - PHY P hysicists are not only curious about the world, but ambitious as well. Their aim is to understand the fundamental prin:iples which describe and govern all physical aspects of the universe. Called "natural philosophers" in previous centuries, physicists investigate natural systems by means of controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging in size from sub-atomic particles to the largest of galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero temperature to the fiery activity of the stars. As a fascinating and expanding area of study and as a basic science, physics plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society's understanding of such areas as energy, weather, medical science and space exploration. Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and realizing that keeping abreast of the rapid advances is an ever increasing challenge, the Department intends to bring to the students not only basic concepts but also insights into recent developments. In this process, the faculty expects challenges to arise, be met and stimulate sound thinking, perceptive judgment and an interest in experimental techniques. To this end a rigorous major provides students with the in-depth preparation required for graduate study. More than two-thirds of the graduates in Physics have completed or are currently working toward graduate degrees at a number of fine universities across the nation. A major in physics provides flexibility. It also serves as a stepping stone for graduate work in related areas such as computer science, atmospheric science and meteorology, astronomy, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, engineering and medical and health related fields. In addition, the Physics program at Augsburg functions in a supportive role for students majoring in mathematics, chemistry, biology and computer science. The Department also supervises the Pre-Engineering program with degree programs avdable at cooperating universities at both the bachelor's and the advanced degree levels. The Department maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences. Several students work each academic year and summer as research assistants in these efforts, which are supported by NASA, the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies. The Department also administers Augsburg College's portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College Consortium, funded by NASA. Cooperative Education, internshp and undergraduate research programs provide opportunities for students to apply their physical science knowledge and problem solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental and academic settings. Students may participate in alternating term Cooperative Education programs or work part-time during two or more academic terms. Internship opportunities alone generally involve only one semester. The Department serves the liberal arts tradition by offering courses for the nonscience students that will enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses seek to provide the basic starting point for further study and the opportunity to enable students to follow new developments with some denree of comvrehension. *"- Physics Physics Department Faculty Jeffrey Johnson (Chair),Stuart Anderson, Mark Engebretson, Kenneth Erickson, William Monsma Physics Research Staff Anthony Hansen, William Jasperson, David Venne.

I Ipirmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, political science has roots in the humanities, including philosophy and history. Through its use of statistical analysis, it relates not only to other behavioral sciences, but also to mathematics and the sciences generally. The role and sigruficance of authority in human affairs establish the focus of political science; because politics is a central and enduring reality in the world, it affects and is affected by many other human concerns. As an academic discipline, political science uses systematic inquiry and analysis to examine political reality and to suggest and test alternatives.The student who majors in political science will explore political ideas and values, investigate political cooperation and conflict, analyze md compare political systems and develop perspectives on international relations. In the process, the student will be encouraged to relate insights from other liberal arts disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, ?conomics,history and sociology to the study of politics. Providing work in several sub-fields of ~oliticalscience, the major supplies the xeadth appropriate for graduate work in h e discipline, as well as in public adminisration, public policy analysis, law and >herprofessions. It also serves as a bundation on which to develop careers in ?ublic service, business, communications md other fields. Legislative and other hternships, as well as significant indepenlent research projects, are within easy "eachof Augsburg Political Science ;tudents in the Twin Cities area. Combined ~ i t broad, h balanced and flexible course ~fferings,these special opportunities mhance the student's potential for graduIte study and a successful career. Augsburg Political Science students have the benefit of an experienced faculty that brings a balanced expertise to the course offerings, as well as special strengths in interpreting politics in the contexts of the mass communications media, communism and American public law. The Departmental faculty is cornmitted to the view that the study of politics, involving as it does an understanding of the human heritage and the importance of informed choice in human affairs, is an important aspect of liberal learning.

P sychology, with its emphasis on behavioral observation and data, provides a perspective on human activities which is an integral part of a liberal education. The goal of the Psychology program is the improved understanding of human behavior by studying how people cope with their environment and interact with each other. The Department's courses have three basic goals: (1)to introduce the student to the current information and methods in psychology as well as earlier approaches to psychological questions; (2) to develop the abiity to analyze, interpret and evaluate behavioral research, and (3) to provide practice in the application of these principles. The Department program provides an emphasis on both field experiences and the theoretical foundation for graduate study in psychology and related areas. Internships are designed to provide students with practical pre-professional experience. On-the-job experience gives students the opportunity to test career fields and develop professional contacts. Psychologists use a variety of methods to study behavior, including experimentation, observation and clinical case analysis. Faculty members in the Department of Psychology at Augsburg have varied professional specializations which include areas such as counseling, physiological psychology, human development, personality, social, cognitive and organizational psychology and analysis of public policy. The Psychology program's emphasis on the use of a problem solving approach, the acquisition of information about human development and interaction, and the development of human relations skills can be beneficial in careers in business, education and other social services, the church and government, as well as in careers such as research, law and medicine.

(Prereq.: PSY 330) A ugsburg College understands itself as a college of the church and it is persuaded that the Christian faith provides an appropriate perspective from which to undertake its educational task. The biblical faith and tradition of the Christian church have influenced the whole world and they have affected and continue to influence language, literature, history, values and political structures. While the fundamental orientation of this College is to the Christian faith, it is also true that the field of religion obviously includes more than is represented by the Christian faith. Large segments of the earth's population live by religious concepts and ideas which are different from Christianity.The Department of Religion seeks to introduce students to some of these major religious traditions. It is the hope and expectation of the Department that students will become better acquainted with the content and character of the Christian faith, enabling them to reflect theologcally on their own religious commitment. Courses in religion are not intended to be footnotes to courses in other disciplines and departments. The study of religion and the discipline of theology have an integrity of their own. The College offers both a major and a minor in Religion and a major in Youth and Family Ministry. Religion Faculty Lynne Lorenzen (Chair),John Benson, Bradley Holt, Philip Quanbeck 11, Beverly J.

T he Social Work major prepares graduates for entry-level generalist professional practice in the field of human services. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The program is based on a generalist model of practice, enabling graduates to work with individuals, families, groups, communities and to develop and analyze social policy. Courses within the program utilize a student empowerment model for teaching and learning. Augsburg's social work major provides a strong foundation for graduate studies in a variety of fields. Since 1991 Augsburg has offered a full-time Master of Social Work degree on a weekend schedule. The College's commitment to the liberal arts is highly compatible with education for professional social work practice. The liberal arts foundation, with its emphasis on breadth of understanding, cultural and ethnic diversity, openness to new ideas, analysis and synthesis, is ideal for social work education. As Sir Richard Livingston has said, "A technician is a person who knows e v e r y k g there is to know about his/her job except its ultimate purpose and social consequence." Effective social workers go beyond being technicians. Augsburg social work graduates are entrylevel professionals. Augsburg College's motto, "Education for Service," exemplifies the philosophy of the Social Work Department. Unique learning opportunities for field work placement and cultural enrichment are hrovided by a metropolitan setting known for a humane quality of life which is enhanced by the arts, outstanding human services and a highly-educated populace. Social work opportunities abound. Minne. . . . of its social services. The Twin Cities, as the hub for these services, provides both a variety of field placements for social work students and external experts for the classroom. The ethnic and economic diversity present in this metropolitan area provides opportunities for social work students to learn to understand, appreciate, respect and work with people different from themselves and to be enriched by this opportunity to interact with diverse clients and professionals. The Social Work Program strives to contribute to its environment as well as to gain from it. Appropriately, social work students have been involved in a wide variety of community service efforts including helping to develop the LINK program on campus, mobilizing students to assist a social service agency in their annual Christmas giving program, and tutoring at a local neighborhood center. The Social Welfare minor and electives in the Department allow students to support another major while gaining knowledge about human needs and growth, human services and the methods of effective citizenship. Students taking these courses have the opportunity to become knowledgeable about public issues and develop and nurture a perspective that sees the central importance of diversity to the social fabric of this country. But beyond knowledge, students are encouraged to use their talents and skills to address the needs of society in the interest of the public good, always emphasizing social justice.

The sociological perspective provides a way to better understand the social world and how individuals come to think and act as they do. The goal of the Department is to help students develop their understanding of the social order and how it affects them in their daily lives. Sociology majors develop an understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use sociological tools of analysis, and learn how to apply sociological concepts to the solution of social problems. Students are encouraged to select as electives some of the non-traditional learning models available, such as internships, independent study, Interim courses and field studies. The Department urges students to use Augsburg's metropolitan setting as a laboratory for learning. Internships and Cooperative Education enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives. Augsburg alumni who have majored in sociology are currently employed in the human resources departments of both government and private corporations, in industrial relations work and in program evaluation. Others have used their majors as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, the ministry, social work, urban planning and criminal justice. Sociology Faculty Diane Pike (Chair), Jerry Gerasimo, Garry Hesser, Gordon Nelson, Michael O'Neal, Rita Weisbrod Major 10 courses including: SOC 121 Introduction to Human Society SOC 349 Complex Organizations SOC 362 Statistical Analysis SOC 363 Research Methods SOC 375 Social Psychology SOC 485 Modem Sociological Theory and four additional Sociology courses. Note: SOC 399 is highly recommended. Concentration in Crime and Community Society is increasingly concerned about crime. Not surprisingly, many of our students are interested in the field of criminal justice. The concentration is not a traditional criminal justice major. Rather, the focus is on understanding crime in the community with respect to the prevention and solution of problems that lead to crime, as well as understanding the criminal justice system developed to respond to it. Students interested in community crime prevention as well as the traditional aspects of criminal justice - courts, prisons, probation, and law - will be served by this major. See Department Chair for specific requirements. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers which may differ slightly in emphasis from the Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog. Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Education Department to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements.

For this reason we offer liberal arts connections through cross disciplinary and interdisciplinary courses. As well, we offer a solid base in classical, modem and contemporary theatre while incorporating non-Western and nontraditional theatre to support our commitment to the multicultural experience. At Augsburg we seek to create every opportunity for students to grow as human beings by encouraging connections between theory and application through course study, production work and the Artist Series. Theatre productions are created as unique learning laboratories in creative collaboration with faculty and artists-in-residence. Augsburg is an ideal place to study theatre as it is located in a major theatre center. Students expand their knowledge of theatre not only by attending, but by working with numerous local theatre artists and professional theatre companies.

The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with fall and spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 112 weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is expected that students will attend every class period, instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for their courses. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change; and students should check with the instructor to verify the final costs. Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for graduation. This course total must include two Interims for students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first year. A maximum of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33 course credits required for graduation. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult the registrar for the number of Interim courses required. Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time students (fall term). If less than full-time, they will be charged. Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a cross registration and will be charged WEC tuition $1258 per course credit and a $25 technology fee. If they do so, they may take only 1.0 additional course credit in Weekend College for winter trimester. Augsburg College, as affirmed in its mission, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and/or school administered programs, except in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students. Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal or state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can be directed to Betty Wade, affirmative action coordinator, Office of Human Resources, CB 79, Augsburg College, 221 1 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454. She can be reached by telephone, (612) 330-1023; or by e-mail, <wadeb@augsburg.edu>. Introduction Options International Interim-Students are invited to participate in the international Interim courses offered by the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE) and other consortia. These course opportunities are listed on page 47. Some courses have early registration deadlines. Internships deadline-Friday, December 8. January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental requirements and present a signed internship-learning agreement plan to the Center for Service, Work, and Learning (1st floor Memorial) by the first day of Interim classes. The learning-agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for planning internships is available in the Center for Service, Work, and Learning. Independent studylresearch or directed study-Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1. Meet departmental requirements 2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member and the directedlindependent study registration form. These forms must be submitted by December 1. Appropriate study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. Introduction Interims at other schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution that offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs are available in the registrar's office. Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements or major requirements. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4- 1-4 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing, or board costs. Other students will be charged $1,726 for the Interim course plus a $25 technology fee. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Office of the Registrar for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $25. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Office of Residence Life. It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199, 299, 399, or 499 courses. About This Catalog The catalog lists courses by departments in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the College for Interim credit. Students may also register for one of the lifetime sports listed at the end of the catalog. Courses that include travel are marked with an airplane.

Drawing ART 107-J Instructors: Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg and Tara Christopherson The legendary light and geography of Provence has shaped art history for centuries. In the last hundred years alone, it has inspired countless works of art. Using French language and personal art, students will immerse themselves in place, documenting their own inspiration with text and images of Provence through journal, discussion, sketching and assemblage. The language, culture and art of Provence will come alive for students, resulting in a very personal memoir grounded in site-specific content. Students will spend the majority of their time in Provence, winding up the program with four days in Paris. For more information, contact Prof. Pary Pezechkian-Weinberg, (612) 330-1090 or Prof. Tara Christopherson, (612) 330-1232.

It assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at least must be able to understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage, food additives and processing and synthesis, organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and illicit drugs, the energy crisis, and the debates about sources of energy, the green house effect, and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering and much more. Many of these problems are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about chemistry, via lecture and in-class discussion, we can begin to understand ourselves, our society, our world, and even some of the universe. The grade for the course is based on a percentage of the score of total points on the daily quizzes. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 2 Liberal Arts Perspective: Natural World 2 Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: I Room: Science 315 Chemistry I Introduction to Computer Science and Communication CSC 160-J Instructor: Noel Petit This course introduces the major areas of computer science and computer communications.

This course will consist of lecture/discussion times with frequent in-class lab exercises on the topics above. Grading will be based on examinations, labs, and homework. This is not a course in computer applications or how to use computers, although we may touch on these topics. Prerequisite: Math Placement Group 3 Maximum Enrollment: 15 Time: I Room: Sverdrup 202 UNlX and C CSC 272-J Instructor: Karen Sutherland Study of UNIX operating system and the C programming language.

Prerequisite: CSC 170 or programming in some other language Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: II Room: Sverdrup 202 Topics: Computer Science: An Alternative Scheme One and Two CSC 273-J CSC 373-J Instructor: Charles Sheaffer This course is especially intended for students with no prior exposure to programming in particular or computer science in general. It will be a laboratory intensive, self-paced course using the Scheme programming language. We will introduce an alternative approach to some of the most important concepts of computer science including problem solving, simulation, object-oriented programming, functional programming, procedural and data abstraction, and program interpretation. Students with knowledge of programming will benefit from exposure to the alternative paradigm represented by the Scheme language and will acquire a concrete understanding of how these important concepts are actually implemented in real languages and machines. Students will be evaluated based on a series of programming projects. CSC 373 is a continuation of CSC 273.

Maximum Enrollment: 9 Time: II Room: Sverdrup 206 The Cuban Story: Quantitative Journalism in Cuba ENG 347-A Instructor: Cass Dalglish Students will research and write stories with a statistical issue at the core, doing their work where few U.S. citizens have been able to travel or study-Cuba. They will study how to evaluate and analyze information both numerically and verbally and how to communicate quantitative data. They will study the Cuban economy and both the gains and challenges politics have brought to Cuba. During the 10-day seminar, students will interview economists, meet government officials, travel to the country to consider food and farming, study health care and education, and meet students and journalists. Finally, students will write lucid investigative stories which demonstrate that they have gained an ability to gather, handles, and present quantitative information in a precise and readable style - in oral and written formats. The class will have several meetings at Augsburg before the Cuba travel and several following the group's return to the U.S. [This is a joint day Interimlwinter WEC course with enrollment limits.] Prerequisite: ENG 225, ENG 227 or consent of the instructor, Math Placement Group 3 Graduation Skill: Quantitative Reasoning Time: arranged Topics: Which West? The American West in Film and Literature ENG 282-A ENG 382-A Instructor: Joan Thompson In this class you will read literature and view films in order to learn about ways in which ideas about the American West have helped to shape American identity and cohstructions of the West. Although over 100 years have passed since Frederick Jackson Turner announced the closing of the American frontier at the 1893 meeting of the American Historical Society, the West has not lost its associations with the frontier and its attendant mythology. You will learn that even as formulaic fiction and film popularized this vision of the West, serious writers and, more recently, filmmakers have been exploring other possible versions of the West. Through focusing on these explorations of the West as place, you will gain an understanding of the role of myths, such as the romantic gunfighter's conquest of both Native peoples and land, in American views of the West. You will also explore ideas such as Manifest Destiny, individual freedom, and appropriate land use. Because the West has always been filled with a plurality of voices, you will look'at ways writers and filmmakers who have visited, imagined, or lived in the West have both affirmed and countered these myths and ideas in their work. Course grades will be based on readinghiewing journals, a three to four page paper, a final exam, and class participation. Additionally, if you are enrolled in 382, you will read several critical articles on reserve at Lindell Library, as well as an additional novel. You will then write an additional short paper on the novel using the critical ideas you have studied. You will also give a brief presentation on your additional reading. Liberal Arts Perspective: Western Heritage Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: II Room: Old Main 26 Topics: Investigating the Victorian Thriller ENG 282-D ENG 482-D Instructor: Dallas Liddle This course will study the phenomenon in nineteenth-century Britain of the popular novel of suspense, mystery and terror. From Frankenstein early in the century to Dracula at its end, the nightmares imagined by novelists of Great Britain have continued to interest and horrify readers throughout the 20th century. Early in the century these tales were generally either "Gothic" (stories of horror and the supernatural set in Italy or Spain) or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories about the lower classes). By the 1860's however, popular novelists including Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, Eliza Wood and Wilkie Collins were producing a stunningly successful series of works in which the action was set in the everyday world of the Victorian middle classes, and the villains (as one reviewer remarked) seemed like people the reader might meet at dinner. Often challenging and sometimes subversive, these novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues that the politer genre of domestic fiction could hardly hint at including gender roles and sexual transgression, class and race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark sides of urban life, industrial poverty, and empire. We will read several of the best of these thrillers, at the same time actively investigating the culture that produced them. We will read original reviews and responses, including parodies, and learn about the context of newspaper and magazine journalism in which several of the novels appeared. While we investigate the power of the Gothic and Sensation genres for their original audiences, however, we will also work to determine why these novels have continued to appeal to successive generations of readers. Course grades will be based on class attendance and participation, two short papers, a group presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level students will read one additional novel, write a research-based paper on it, and share the results of their research with the class. Prerequisite: ENG 111 Liberal Arts Perspective: Western Heritage Maximum Enrollment: 25 Time: II Room: Foss 20 Topics: The Heroic Journey ENG 282-M ENG 382-M Instructor: Joan Griffin "The hero," says Joseph Campbell, "Is the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations to the generally valid, normally human forms." This struggle, the heroic journey, is a quest for wholeness, for harmony with oneself, one's society, and even the universe. The journey may be physical, moral, psychological, or spiritual, but it always concludes with the regeneration of the hero and/or the redemption of the hero's society. This course will study archetypal patterns of the heroic journey as well as specific examples of such journeys, emphasizing the work of Joseph Campbell, but also citing studies of the hero by Lord Ragland, Carol Pearson, and Richard Slotkin, among others. We will note that major heroic genres in western tradition-the epic and romance-almost always assume that the hero is usually a warrior and aristocrat. Thus we will analyze typical elements of the heroic warrior myth as depicted in ancient and medieval epics and romance, but will also pay particular attention to works that challenge or enlarge the tradition. We will consider the implications of the enduring popularity of warrior-hero renditions of the heroic journey. Evaluation is based primarily on papers. Class attendance is mandatory. Do not take this course if you know that you will need to miss more than two classes. Prerequisite: ENG 111 recommended but not required.

Liberal Arts Perspective: The City Maximum Enrollment: 20 Time: I Room: Music 22 Environmental and River Politics POL 241-J Instructor: Joe Underhill-Cady We live and work on the shores of the largest river in North America. It is the reason the Twin Cities are located where they are, and it continues to define the city, as human settlement here in turn has profoundly shaped the river ecosystem. Of late in cities across America there has been "a return to the river," and in this class we will be doing the same. The River stands as a remarkable symbol for the community, of continuity and change, of cycles and transformation, of the power and beauty of the natural world, and there is much to be learned from studying it. Using the Mississippi as the focus, this course looks at the changes in thinking about the relationship between humanity and the natural world, as the relationship has been expressed in literature, law, science, religion, political philosophy, and popular culture. Particular attention will be paid to legal and cultural conceptions of the natural world, including the ideas of property and ownership. We will explore the distinction between wilderness and civilization and the political function of the line dividing those two realms. We will explore the river through the eyes and experiences of those who have worked and lived their lives along it, and through site visits to locations along the river, speakers in class, and on the Internet. Students will have an opportunity to explore their own interests in the river through individual projects, ranging from boat building, to lobbying at the State Capital, to the various Mississippi floods, to river ecology and "green consumerism." There will be opportunities to work with local river-related groups on those projects. Throughout the course students will be encouraged to dream, and to work on taking that vision and making it a reality, in building support for a project, in networking, in having patience, in following through, in working hard, and at the end, having something concrete to show for their efforts. These projects can be a prototype for the future pursuit of a vocation to contribute to their world in whatever way one is called to do so.

What gives language that extra charge and sparkle? Why are bad poems about sex really bad? What is the role of the erotic in a poem? In a love poem? How do poems seduce us, engage our sense of physical desire via our imagination? How can we be sure we've written a sexy poem rather than a mere sex poem? How have poets answered these and other questions across a variety of times and cultural contexts? This course will explore these and other related questions with the assumption that poetic language can and often should be sensual, erotic, sparky, a flirtation with the reader, and the understanding that the sexiest of poems are seldom actually about the sex act itself. In this course we will take a look at erotic elements in poems and explore how poets handle physical desires of all kinds to engage and seduce their readers. Students will explore a variety of ways to work with erotic language and subjects. We will examine what makes particular images and metaphors sensual and how poets transform potentially dull and lor unsexy subjects into vibrant and appealing answers to human desire. The class will include in-class discussions of text, writers to the course, on the recommendation of the creative writing faculty.
