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.

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

New Space-Age data, buried in the literature, will be unveiled to show inadequacies and contradictions in some aspects of modern astro-cosmology and its links to geology, biology, and the humanities. Class instruction and individual research will include study of the historical and modern impact of math-related cosmic models, and will note some misuses of mathematics which transforn'unsupported scientific speculation into "scientific fact."

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. Augsburg College is fully accredited by rhe North Central Association of Colleges and Secondmy Schools as a degree-granting institution. It is a member of the Association of American Colleges, the National Lurheran Educational Conference, the Association of Minnesota colleges, and the State Council of Minnesota Colleges. THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Augsburg Alumni Association has as its goal to enable the graduates of the College and Seminary to maintain effective contact and cooperation with one another and with their A h a Mater. The annual meeting is held at Commencement time each year. Regional meetings also are held from time to time. The present ogcers are: Henry J. Bertness, President; Esther Aune, Vice-president; Marian Lowrie, Recording Secretary; Gloria Nelson, Harvey Peterson, and Kennet,h Sorenson, Advisers. 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. 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 dso provided with facilities for projection. SPECIAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY Evening classes are held as a community sexvice for adults not enrolled in the day school. Announcement of course to be offered are made in the fall. Information about the evening school may be obtained from the o6ce of the Dean. 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.

Imtercollegiate Athletics. Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is represented annually by teams in football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, and golf. It is the purpose of Augsburg to provide an intercollegiate athletic program which is in harmony with its Christian philosophy. This philosophy is to 'be reflected in the conduct and outlook of lboth the players and =he spectators. The educational program of the college recognizes that recreation and play are a fundamental part of human life, and that t'&s phase of life needs to be cultivated if physical, mental, and emotional health are to be maintained. Intercollegiate athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the fact that competitive play can contribute to the development of student interests, skills, insights, and loyalties. More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: ( 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.

The General Educational Development tests are available to service men through the Armed Forces Institute. All tests may, however, be taken at Augsburg by arrangement with the Registrar. The College reserves the right to reject the applications of students whose previous records or aptitudes, as measured by tests, indicate they may have difliculty with college work.

No credit will )begiven a student for any subject for which he has not registered. The college reserves the right to cancel any course for which there is not sugcient registration. Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school. The normal registration is 16 credit hours. A credit hour is defined as one recitation period a week throughout a semester.

Exceptions to this rule may be made under certain conditions determined by the Admissions and Scholarship Committee. No student is permitted to carry work for more than 20 credits per semester. Students working part-time are urged to arrange the amount of their registration accordingly. ~ H A N G E OF REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION In case a student desires to make any changes in his registration, he must obtain a form from the Registrar's oflice on which he may make application, stating clearly his reasons for desiring the change. Approval of the teachers concerned and the student's adviser and the Registrar must be obtained before a change will be permitted.

Changes of registration which involve the adding of courses cannot be made later than two weeks after the beginning of classes. Changes which involve canceling a course cannot be made after the middle of the semester. A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change of registration after the lbeginning of the second week of classes. A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the end of a semester must cancel his registration at the Registrar's o6ce in order to remain in good standing. By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students may register for courses at the University. But such registration will not be allowed unless the student has a grading of C average, or I honor point per credit, in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any semester must not exceed 17. The credits thus gained a t the University may be transferred to Augsburg College and counted towards graduation. Classification In order to be classified in one of the college classes, a student must be carrying a minimum of twelve hours of work in which college credit is given. Classification is based on the attainment of the following number of credit hours together with an equal number of honor points: Sophomore, 24; Junior, 58; Senior, 92. Classification for the Catalog, the Student Directory, and for all other purposes is determined by this regulation. Probation and Elimination There will be a meeting of the Admissions and Scholarship Cornrnittee a t the end of each semester to consider students who are doing unsatisfactory work, in order to drop from the rolls those students for whom further attendance is deemed inadvisable. Freshmen who obtain honor point ratios of .5 or below, Sophomores .6 or below, and Senior College students .8 or below, as well as students with 6 or more credits of F, at the end of a semester are placed on probation during the semester that follows. They remain on probation until an honor point ratio of I is attained for one semester. A student is not allowed to remain in college on probation for more than two semesters consecutively, except by special permission. In order to be eligible for membership in inter-collegiate athletics, a student must have obtained in his last semester a passing grade in at least 12 hours of college work, 6 of which must be C or better. Class Attendance Regular attendance in class is required. Students who h d it necessary to be absent because of illness or for other reasons should confer with their teachers. Students are expected to arrange the hours of part-time employment so that work does not contlict with classes. Any exception to this rule must be agreed to by the teacher of the class affected and must be approved by the Dean of the College. A record of attendance is kept by each teacher, and periodic reports are submitted to the Registrar. A t the end of the semester, a record is made of the total absences of each student for the semester. Absences for tours, field trips and other instructor-arranged activities are cleared with the Dean of the College. Lists of participants, with information as to exact periods albsent, are issued by rhe Dean to all instructors involved. Teachers deal wirh tardiness as they see fit. Students arriving in class late must assume responsibility for reporting their presence to the teacher. Examinations GENERALRULES Students are urged to plan their work well from the very beginning since tests are given periodically throughout the semester. During the first part of each semester reports of the grades attained are made to the Registrar and the counselors. In addition to this, h d reports are made at the close of each semester. Regular written examinations are held at the close of each semester. N o student or class may arrange to take a h a 1 examination in any course before the examination week. Absence from a final examination without a s d c i e n t reason will result in a grade of failure in the course concerned. A student who has to be absent from a h a 1 examination because of a conflict with outside work from which he cannot obtain an excuse may arrange to take such an examination during some period after the time on which the subject is scheduled. If a student has obtained permission from the proper authorities to take a h a 1 at another hour than the one scheduled, he is charged a fee of two dollars for such an examination. The fee is to be paid to the Treasurer of the school, and, before the student takes an examination, he must obtain a statement from the Registrar's oflice and bring it to the teacher concerned. The teacher will give no examination before he has this statement. A condition or an incomplete received at the end of the semester must be removed within the first five weeks of classes of the following semester of attendance or within a year if the student has not 're-enrolled. Extension of this time may be made by the Registrar's Of3ice in cases of illness. If incompletes and conditions are not removed within the time allowed, the condition automatically becomes a failure and the incomplete may be changed to a passing grade only when the average of the previous work is suf3iciently high. The final grade after the condition examination is taken may not be higher than D A fee of $2.00 is charged for an examination making up an incomplete or a condition received at the end of a semester. Comprehensive examinations may be ,permitted in courses in which the Admissions and Scholarship Committee feels the student has adequate preparation or background.

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.

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.

Secondclass postage paid at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Augsburg College lnterim The interim i s an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Since one course equals a full time load, students should plan t o spend the same amount of time i n class and preparing for class as they w o u l d for a four course load during Fall and Spring semesters.

The interim day is divided into two blocks of time: I - 8:00 - 12:OO Noon The number and length of class meetings as well as the beginning time will be arranged the first day of class. 4/l nterim Essential Information One course i s considered a full time load during interim and no student i s permitted to register for more than one course credit during the period. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an interim course. Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few interim courses are graded only on the P/N system; this i s indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of full time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one interim for graduation.) This Catalog This catalog lists courses by departments with departments listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the College for interim credit. Further descriptions and information about these courses are available in the lnterim Office, Memorial 230. Students may register for one of the Lifetime Sports listed on the last page. Location Key L-Library Building M-Music Hall OM-Old Main P-Psychology Building S-Science Hall Options June Interim - At least two interim courses will be offered in the June 1983 session of summer school (see listings under Biology and Education) in lieu of January term, with no additional tuition charge. Students planning to elect a June interim must register at the time of interim registration in the fall. Students wishing to take the June interim in addition to the January one will be required to pay the regular summer course tuition. International Interims-Students are invited to consider being part of one of the six overseas interims offered by Augsburg College during January 1983. These interims are under the following departments: Art - Europe: Art in London and Paris Foreign Language - Mexico: Basic Conversational Spanish - Europe: The Rhine Frontier History - Hawaii: Laboratory of Multi-Ethnic Interaction Music - Europe: Music in London and Paris Political Science - Mexico: Theories of Social Change and Revolution Other international interims are available through Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE) and St. Olaf College. Further academic description, travel details and cost estimates are available in the Interim Office and from Mary Kingsley in the International Center, Old Main 20. Students interested in participating in one of these international interims should apply in the International Center before November 1. Additions to the overseas groups usually cannot be made after that date. Internships - Students electing an internship interim must present a completed internship learning contract to the Internship Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 16. Contract forms are available in the same office. Independent or Directed Study - Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed study per interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: A. Meet departmental requirements, B. Present to the lnterim Director for approval a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member. This proposal must be submitted at least one week before registration and not later than November 2. Appropriate study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office. Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal interim arrangement. Catalogs of these interims can be consulted in the lnterim Office. The lnterim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at other schools. Registration for interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be done at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered for the Religion requirement. Non-Augsburg Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January interim without tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $670 for the interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg lnterim should write to the lnterim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own school. These students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for interim housing should be made to the Interim Office. Augsburg Policy Augsburg College admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national and ethnic origin in employment practices or administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

What am I ?Where am I going? certainly must rank among the more fundamental questions which intrigue and torment members of our species. While at one level we seek philosophical and religious answers, biology is invoked at another level. It i s the intent of this course to address these questions and others through the study of evolution and heredity (genetics). The concept of organic evolution continues to have its critics, a matter which we shall consider. Yet to the vast majority of biologists the evolution of life i s not only accepted but is regarded as the single most significant contribution which biology has made to human knowledge. We will study the evidence in support of evolution, the proposed mechanisms of the evolutionary process, and, as time permits, the course of evolution from primitive forms to humans. Some principles of genetics will be studied for the primary purpose of making it possible to understand evolutionary mechanisms. Ways in which people influence their own evolution and that of other species will be discussed. Classes will consist largely of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based on quizzes and tests. Prerequisites: A high school general biology course Distribution: Chemistry-Biology Room: 205 Time: I . . ......

People Under Pressure ENG 211 - 4027 Instructor: Barbara Andersen The child, the youth, the middle-aged, the old, all live under pressure-political, social, religious and personal. What these pressures are and how people cope with them provide the focus for the course. This is not, however, a course in depression, for pressure and stress often have positive results. And many people respond to pressure with courage, grace and even wit. We will read several genres, mostly of the 20th century, and works that are not usually covered in literature courses. Among the works being considered are Waters, The Man Who Killed the Deer; Potok, M y Name i s Asher Lev; Brautigan, Trout Fishing i n America; Wright, Native Son; Pym, Excellent Women; Hassler, Simon's Night; Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea; Turgenev, Fathers and Sons; Albee, The American Dream and The Zoo Story; Anderson, I Never Sang for M y Father; Gordon, Final Payments. Students will have some choice of works to read. Evaluation will be based on discussions, some in-class writing, reading quizzes, oral reports (optional) and two examinations.

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

Room: Melby 24 Paris in the Nineteenth Century HIS 114 - 4037 Instructor: Orloue Gisselquist The French are sometimes accused of thinking of Paris as the "navel of the universe." There's a bit of "sour grapes" caricature in that clever statement. For if one could pick out a city which in the last thousand years has been more important to Western Civilization than any other, one could make a good case for Paris. In this course we will study the history of that city i n one period of its greatness, the nineteenth century. We will use some readings about France, Paris, and Modern urbanism, but the main emphasis in our reading and approach to the subject will be the use of some nineteenth century French novels as historical sources for the study of Paris. We will thus have the opportunity to study the city of Paris in this century i n some fullness, read some great literature, and develop our talents in the use of historical material. As a bonus we will double (maybe quadruple!) our enjoyment of a future trip to Paris. The course will be conducted in part as a lecture course and in part as a seminar (discussion of readings, short papers, and shared reports-all part of the evaluation). There will be a final exam.

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

Time: I . . ...... Room: P 2 Theology of Play, Games and Sport REL 328 - 4064 Instructor: John Benson There is nothing more familiar to us than play, games and sports. We are all involved with one or more of them almost daily. Yet, there is usually little understanding of the human significance of these commonplaces of experience. Philosophers of culture like Weiss and Huizinga, however, together with sociologists like Caillois and psychologists like Bern have helped us to see some of the deeper meanings of these things we usually take for granted. At the same time, theologians concerned with cultural questions such as this have added their contributions. Rahner, Miller, Pieper and Novak have helped us to see that religion itself has a "play" structure. I n the lectures, all of the above thinkers will be dealt with. And in the small groups two books, one by Caillois, and the other by Novak, will be read and carefully discussed. Several special preparations will be required as well, related to special discussions. An example of such a special discussion i s the problem of the relation between the game proper and the "intimidation game" that goes on within it at the same time. Such a problem can be shown to have far reaching implications into many other areas of life as well as games. Prerequisites: One course in Religion Distribution: Religion Time: 11.. ......

Published 2017 Phone: 612-330-1000 www.augsburg.edu 1 A Greeting from the President A university catalog is a wonderful text, full of detail and data that offer all of us a map to our lives together as a university community. This is a map grounded in Augsburg’s mission: “To educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” What has prompted you to study this map of Augsburg University? If you’re already enrolled at Augsburg, I trust you will continue to find here the awe and wonder of an educational experience that is meaningful and challenging. I hope you will be reminded of the relationships and commitments you have formed at Augsburg—they will last a lifetime. I also hope that you find in this map signposts of the progress you have made in your vocational journey and that you will continue to believe that you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the community in which you will spend time for the next several years. If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg University 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. Augsburg is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and it is in the city that our University both serves and thrives. As you study here, you will find a setting that not only provides remarkable learning opportunities, but one in which you will be able to share your own talents and skills. Augsburg’s challenging academic environment is enhanced by both education and service experiences that transform theory into action and unite the liberal arts with the practical in preparing students as faithful citizens in a global society. The experience you are undertaking at Augsburg—or thinking of undertaking—will occur on a small campus in the core of a great city; it will be led by faculty preoccupied with your welfare and the emergence and refinement of your vocational plans. As you join Augsburg University, or consider doing so, please know that those of us who await you here find the University an exciting place, full of diversity and yet possessed of a community dedicated to higher learning and good living. Here you can find your way in the world. May this map be your faithful guide! Sincerely yours, Paul C. Pribbenow, Ph.D. President 2 About Augsburg At Augsburg University, we believe that the university 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, creatively 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 informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders; and thus achieve the educational goals of our mission. 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; their vocation 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 University motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg University 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. Campus Location Augsburg University 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. 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 3 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. 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 4 theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Augsburg’s Rochester learning site 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, Augsburg aims to educate students of all ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world. Augsburg became “Augsburg University” on September 1, 2017. 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 University’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 learning site in Rochester, MN. Centers of Commitment The four Centers of Commitment articulate core values that inform the institutional mission of Augsburg University both internally and externally: each Center provides a bridge between curriculum and community; each works to realize the University’s strategic intention to "educate for lives of meaning and purpose" as well as to ensure the University is "at the table" with community partners in relationships of mutual benefit that enhance the University’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 Day Program provides an educational opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree through courses that meet during the day or in the evening. Students in the Day Program pay comprehensive tuition that allows them to register for between 12-19 semester credits per term. ACTC is a five-college consortium that allows Day Program students to take courses on other campuses without additional charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium includes Augsburg University, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. (See Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) section). Adult Undergraduate Program 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. 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. 6 Face-to-face meetings occur on alternating weeks for three-and-a-half hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the program. Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. AU students may attend part-time or full-time each semester. Minneapolis - Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program is designed to help students finish a bachelor’s degree quickly and efficiently, in as little as two years. Delivered in a hybrid-learning format, it combines the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. Augsburg also offers courses from several Day Program majors during the evening in a traditional classroom setting. Please note that not all of the required courses for the Day Program majors are offered in the evening. For a complete list of degree completion programs offered in the AU Program, visit www.augsburg.edu/pro/majors. Rochester - Adult Undergraduate Program Augsburg’s branch site in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the institution’s mission and its expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered. The Rochester site 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 classes 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 site are Augsburg University 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.

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 University 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 University. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The University 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. 11 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 school officials who have legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the University 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 University 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 University 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 University not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg University 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 University 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. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. 12 Annual Security Report The Annual Security Report (ASR) for Augsburg University contains statistics on reported crimes on and near Augsburg property and campus, as well as institutional policies concerning campus security and crime.

The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Full-Time vs. Half-Time Students will need to be enrolled in 6 credits to be considered half-time and 12-19 credits to be considered full-time. This is an important distinction for charges and for accessing financial aid.

Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure. Payment Options Augsburg University offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts. Payment Policy Students at Augsburg University 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 University Tuition Refund Policy. Augsburg accepts the following forms of payment: Cash Students and guest payers may make cash payments in-person at the Enrollment Center. Cash should never be mailed. Students will receive a receipt of their cash payment. Check Students and guest payers may pay their term fees via check either in-person at the Enrollment Center, through mail, or online using e-check/ACH. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient Funds. A receipt will automatically be sent electronically for any online payments. Students who pay in-person or through mail may request a receipt of the check payment. Credit Card/Debit Card Students and guest payers may make student account payments online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express credit card. As of June 10th, 2016, Augsburg will no longer accept credit card or debit card payments in-person, over the phone, or through the mail. Credit cards will only be accepted online via Cashnet, a vendor contracted by Augsburg. Because Cashnet charges Augsburg for their services, a credit card service fee of 2.75 percent will be associated with any credit card payment made to the University. This is to offset the approximately $250,000 in costs that Augsburg accrues annually for providing credit card payment options to our students. Augsburg will not receive any part of the service fee and will not be profiting from it. 18 Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must reapply each year. In addition to reapplying for aid, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The University cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. The primary responsibility for financing a university 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). 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. 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 University, 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 University 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) 19 o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet university 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 University 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 University to provide part-time work opportunities. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether students receiving financial aid 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. Augsburg’s Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy follows the Satisfactory Academic Policy. Student Account Financial Disclosure Students at Augsburg University 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 their 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 University Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records and Registration. Augsburg University may require someone to co-sign on the student’s 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. 20 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 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 University, 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 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 University 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 the University. 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. 21 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. 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 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, by being 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. Students 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 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 and applied to a student’s account before the credit refund can be issued. (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid. You can check your transaction history online to verify that all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending.) 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 credits 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 Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $700 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 were 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. 22 Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times. 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 $700 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 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. 23    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. 24 Residence Life 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.

Experiences in the classroom are an important part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the University and the surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day or evening, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. There are over 50 student organizations that students can join, and students may also create their own with three peers. For more information, visit www.augsburg.edu/cao.

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 University through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education. CAO is made up of four program areas: Campus Activities CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with the Augsburg and surrounding community. Student and Group Leadership Development Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg University by empowering incoming students to cultivate and apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skillbuilding training program. Student Group Development is provided to student organizations with advising and focusing on inclusion, recruitment, event planning, meeting facilitation, conflict resolution, and other pertinent areas of development. In addition, CAO designs and hosts the annual Student Leadership Institute which is required for all student organizations. 27 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 University. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about Augsburg 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 Augsburg 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 University. Students will learn about Augsburg 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 University. Student Organizations Students have the opportunity to become involved in a number of different student organizations at Augsburg University. Participation allows students to meet fellow classmates, have fun, and lead and develop an organization around a common purpose while making an impact on both the Augsburg and greater community. Campus Ministry At Augsburg University, 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 university of the church, we emphasize the development of this through attending to the sacred, living into radical hospitality, and shaping community. The university pastors, Chaplain to Student Athletes, Muslim Student Advisor, 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. 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, Friday prayer, and interfaith initiatives are examples of the wide varieties of activities on campus. 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 University 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 experience in community and public work. Through placements with partner nonprofit organizations and community 28 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 University’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 University, 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. 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 29 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 may perform on regional, 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 Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of on-campus 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. Day Student Government The Augsburg Day Student Government supports and advocates for student concerns, needs, and activities. Day Student Government serves as the primary voice and liaison between Day students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg University. 30 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Lindell Library Resources Since 1997 the James G.

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 university years. 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 Assistant Director of Career and Internship Services supervises non-credit internships and evaluates the reflection process. 32  Work Connections (Available to AU students only) o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to AU students who are currently working full or parttime. The Work Connections option allows AU students to utilize their rich and often extensive work history to meet the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement in lieu of a traditional internship. 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. Gage Center for Student Success The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the University and beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units: Academic Advising The professional academic advisors in the Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising work directly with students in identifying academic interests and satisfying the curricular requirements. Our office advises all new Day and Adult Undergraduate (AU) students with course selection and registration, and provides orientation to academic policies, procedures, and resources. In addition, Academic Advising administers placement tests, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree planning resources, and answers academic progress questions. All incoming students are assigned a faculty and academic advisor. Academic advisors work closely with students to ensure their understanding of available resources and support. As students become more familiar with the University, 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 Service’s 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 higher education. Coaches also refer students to campus resources. The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:    Academic Skills Coaching o All students in need of academic support services may meet with a professional member of our staff (academic skills coach) to identify issues, find short-term solutions, problem-solve, and learn about additional resources on and off campus. 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. Complete the Tutor Request Form, call us at 612-330-1445, or e-mail your tutor request to tutor@augsburg.edu. Response time varies based on tutor availability. You will receive an e-mail as soon as a tutor is available. CAP Program – Connect, Achieve & Progress 33 o  Each year, a limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP students do not meet the program requirements in their first semester, 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. Satisfactory Academic Progress Warning and Probation Advising o Students who do not meet the University’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards, will be placed on Warning, Probation, or Suspension. Students on Warning and Probation are required to meet with an approved academic advocate and complete all necessary requirements as outlined on the Academic Skills Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills. A registration hold is placed on the student’s record, which will prevent registration until the necessary Probation requirements have been completed. Students who do not complete the requirements as needed, may be suspended. For more information see the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog. 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, sensory, and physical disabilities, as well as those with temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the university 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. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their specialist, 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 University 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. The services and technology provided by CLASS are enhanced by generous support of the Gage family and Groves Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053.

StepUP® Program The StepUP program at Augsburg University 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 core elements: abstinence-based recovery models, mutual support groups, peer-to-peer recovery support, and other proven pathways to healthy recovery - along with the residential component of the program. Our holistic approach to recovery focuses around students 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 in order to ensure their educational success. Participation in StepUP offers students leadership opportunities within the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. Our students give back through leadership and service and thrive in an alcohol- and drug-free environment. 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 that students form while participating in the 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 student agreement, and live in StepUP housing.

Course offerings include: HIS/WST 357, POL/WST 341, RLN 200, an internship, independent study, and the choice of 1-2 Spanish courses from 16 different options (including ART 231, which meets the LAF requirement in Fine Arts). A Recreational Wellness course (Latin Dance) is also available. Spanish courses range from beginning to advanced, including courses for bilingual students. Social Work in a Latin American Context—Spring This program was created to satisfy the curricular requirements for the 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 experience is also available for qualified students. Students live with Mexican host families for six weeks. All students are expected to take SWK 294 as a core course. Other course offerings include SWK 295, SWK 316, a field placement in social work, and the choice of one Spanish course from 16 different options (including SPA/ART 231, which meet the LAF in Fine Arts). A Recreational Wellness course (Latin Dance) is also available. Prerequisites: Approval of the Social Work Department and one college-level Spanish course or the equivalent highly recommended. Students may choose to study Spanish in Mexico during the month of January prior to the start of the semester Augsburg in Southern Africa Nation-Building, Globalization, and Decolonizing the Mind: Southern African Perspectives (Namibia and South Africa)— Fall or Spring This program examines the crucial issues of nation-building, globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the perspectives of the new democracies in 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 as well as under- and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a long-term project. The program includes seminars in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. Available courses are: HIS 327, POL 353, RLN376, ENV 100 and INS 312/POL 354. Internships are also available in eight different departments, and a Recreational Wellness course (Yoga) is also available. Exchange Programs The Center for Global Education & Experience partners with universities around the world to provide semester and academic year exchange opportunities to their students. Currently, Augsburg’s CGGE has active exchanges in China, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, 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. 44 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, summer and part-time programs in Ecuador, Italy, 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. Art for Social Change: Intersections of Art, Identity, and Advocacy—Spring What is art for? Who is allowed to be an artist? Where do you find art, and what happens when it finds you? In the Twin Cities-based Art for Social Change program, students seek the answers to these questions not in a gallery or a museum, but on busy corners, vacant storefronts, and empty lots. Students will tap into a growing movement of artists pushing the boundaries of what creative expression does and whose voice it amplifies. Art for Social Change is taught in partnership with Pillsbury House + Theatre, an innovative center for creativity and community in South Minneapolis. Students meet and intern with PH + T staff, resident artists, and a myriad of leaders from the Minneapolis City Council, neighborhood associations, and local businesses. Students receive mentorship from public artists, and an individual budget to create three community-engaged art projects. 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, an independent project, and a homestay for an intensive immersion into Latin American daily life and culture. In the second week of class, each student begins an individual placement at a nonprofit community organization. Previous internship sites have included an organic farm, an arts hub for urban youth, and a women’s safe house. 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: Ecology, Policy, and Social Transformation—Fall The most pressing environmental challenges today are global in scale and require scientific, creative, and systems thinking approaches to understand their root causes and forge more just and equitable solutions. The four linked semester courses of Environmental Sustainability apply systems thinking and sustainability theory to real world cases. Students explore structural inequalities in their own communities, examining patterns of privilege, power, and oppression. They study the restoration of degraded ecosystems, witness and participate in citizen science, and assess how policies and partnerships foster ecologically sound transformation. Students also complete a 20 hour per week internship at one of the many vibrant environmental organizations in the Twin Cities. Past internship placement sites include the Land Stewardship Project, MN350, and Spark-Y Youth Action Labs. Students will leave prepared for leadership roles at the intersection of environmental and climate justice, with a profound understanding of the work being done locally and nationally in those fields. 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. This program asks: What are 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 and what are some concrete social change tools for making these changes? To answer these questions, the program examines and connects the economy, housing systems, education, welfare, government policies, urban sprawl, regional race and class segregation, and institutional discrimination. In professional internships, students work to explore solutions in organizations committed to social transformation. Students have direct conversations and work with practitioners in 45 government, the private sector, nonprofits, labor unions, and schools, and other community institutions working to address poverty and economic, political, and social inequality. Sustainable Agriculture, Food, and Justice in Italy––Fall Students live and work at the Castello Sonnino, a historic estate roughly 12 miles outside the major city of Florence. Since the early 1800s, the Sonnino family has run the estate, and the current generation is deeply committed to cultural and architectural preservation. Students live in apartments on the Sonnino grounds, overlooking 300+ acres of woods, olive groves, and working farm land. They study the political and economic context of the farming and food movements particular to Italy. They gain firsthand experience of sustainable local food systems and the role they play in maintaining rural culture through an internship placement on the Sonnino farm, in the nearby village of Montespertoli, or in nearby Florence. Students receive basic Italian instruction, and complete a guided independent study project. New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future—Fall or Spring 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 truth and reconciliation process that shape contemporary life, Māori protest and social movements, key strategies used to achieve sustainability, new agricultural practices, and more. Students intern at a nonprofit organization in Wellington. Internship placements in past years have ranged from Kennett Brothers Mountain Bikes to Sustainable Coastlines, from the Green Party New Zealand to Zealandia Urban Eco-Reserve. Links between environment, culture, policy, and community are at the heart of these field study and internship opportunities. 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 —Summer The summer of 2014 saw the beginning of a dramatic shift in public conversation around race in the United States. As the tragic deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, and other unarmed men and women dominated the news, powerful protests forced American to face the twin realities of institutionalized racism and police brutality. Race in America: Then and Now dives into questions of racial justice in America today, and the continuing role of race in the United States. Students meet with civil rights activists who were active in the 1960s and those who are active now, as well as lawyers, politicians, educators, and youth. 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 diverse. Twenty-five 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 46 challenged conventional understandings of what it means to be Norwegian/Scandinavian? Students study Norwegian language or do an independent research project, and intern with a leading NGO. Agriculture and Justice: Building a Sustainable Food System––Spring Two linked semester courses use hands-on, field based methods to unpack sustainable agriculture and justice, exploring the food system, land ownership, labor practices, and policies. Students gain hands-on growing skills and travel to food shelves, grocery stores, community centers, as wells as conventional and small-scale farms. Each student completes a short-term stay on a sustainable farm, as well as a field project in a hunger relief organization or urban community farm. A 4- to 8- credit food systems internship is available concurrently with the two courses, or in the summer following the program. In past semesters students have interned with the Land Stewardship Project, Frogtown Green, Mill City Farmers Market, and others, Making Media, Making Change: Digital Technologies, Storytelling, and Action––Fall and Spring This Twin Cities-based semester of two linked courses is taught in collaboration with St. Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN), a bustling studio and media access center that puts cameras into the hands of historically underrepresented creators. Students of all experience levels will leave the class with three short films to their credit, including a final work created in collaboration with a local nonprofit. In addition to hands-on training, students meet the leaders of the local media justice landscape. Students see their work as part of a global movement to make media accessible, relevant, and reflective of the diverse voices demanding to be heard. A 4- to 8- credit media production internship is available with community partner SPNN simultaneously (for students who have advanced technical skills) or following the program. 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 these easy steps:    Attend and Information Session Attend an optional Program Selection Workshop and/or search programs online Apply by the deadline Application Deadlines September 30 - Spring semester and winter-break faculty-led programs November 1 - 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, Recreational Wellness, 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. 47 Credits, Grades and Residency  Students must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs.  Students must take courses for a grade (P/NP not allowed) 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.  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 University’s requirements for Study Abroad and Away in the USA:      Minimum 2.0 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs/courses 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. Any outstanding balances on student accounts must be resolved before students will be allowed to study off campus. 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 recommended. 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 University 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 on semester programs 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 48 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 should attend the required information session and read the advising handbook for any updates to scholarships and financial aid policies. 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. 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.         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, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, and Norway) The Diversity Scholarship is for students who have not traditionally been represented in study abroad, specifically students of color, students with disabilities, 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). Global Affiliate Scholarships are also available. These scholarships generally ranging from $500-$5000 are provided directly through our affiliate partner programs. 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. 49 Continuing Education Program The mission of Augsburg University 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 University. Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the University 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 University is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA. 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, 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 adamo@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 University, 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 University 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 University, 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/Rochester 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. 50 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 University 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. Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg-McNally Smith exchange are considered Augsburg University 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 University, not McNally Smith. Air Force ROTC AFROTC is a nationwide program that allows students to pursue commissions (become officers) in the United States Air Force (USAF) while simultaneously attending college. AFROTC classes are held on college campuses throughout the United States and Puerto Rico; students can register through normal course registration processes. AFROTC consists of four years of Aerospace Studies classes (Foundations of the USAF, Evolution of USAF and Space Power, Air Force Leadership Studies, and National Security Affairs/Preparation for Active Duty), and a corresponding Leadership Laboratory for each year (where students apply leadership skills, demonstrate command and effective communication, develop physical fitness, and practice military customs and courtesies). College students enrolled in the AFROTC program (known as “cadets”) who successfully complete both AFROTC training and college degree requirements will graduate and simultaneously commission as Second Lieutenants in the Active Duty Air Force. The AFROTC program is currently offered at University of St. Thomas, which has a crosstown agreement that allows Augsburg students to enroll in AFROTC and become full-fledged cadet participants. For more information on AFROTC course descriptions, please review http://www.stthomas.edu/catalog/current/aero/ . For more information on the AFROTC program, please review http://www.stthomas.edu/afrotc/ or contact the Department of Aerospace Studies at the University of St. Thomas at (651) 962-6320. 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. 51 Academic Policies and Procedures Registration Students must be officially registered for all courses for which they are participating. 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. 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) 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 each semester. Students in the AU/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 19 semester credits, students must petition the Student Standing Committee unless the following apply: Students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 or greater 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 19 semester credits. This includes combining the credit load from both the DAY and AU programs. Auditing classes over the 19 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/Financial Petition. Internship Registration A complete step-by-step guide is available on the Strommen Center website under the Internship Registration Guide section. International students completing a paid internship will follow steps outlined on the Strommen Center website under the International Student Paid Internship Registration section. Registration of internships for credit consists of the following steps: 52    Students must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience. Students fill out the online Site Agreement Form on the Strommen Center website under the Internship Registration Guide section (step 1). Obtain the Internship Registration form (paper form) from the Strommen Center website under the Internship Registration Guide section (step 2) and obtain the required signatures. 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 Strommen Center Signature: Requires Assistant Director or Director 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 to receive credit for an internship include:    Watch a short video about successful internships on the Strommen Center website under the Internship Registration Guide section. Complete the Learning Goals Form on the Strommen Center website under the Internship Registration Guide section. Copies of the completed form are emailed to the student, their faculty supervisor, and the Strommen Center. Academic assignments (journals, reflection papers, projects, etc.) as determined by the faculty supervisor and/or department guidelines. Final evaluations are sent at the end of the semester. The student and the site supervisor will each complete an evaluation of the student’s internship experience. Results are emailed to the student and the faculty supervisor. 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. Crossover Registration Undergraduate students are enrolled in a home program (DAY, AU, ROCH) 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. Students have registration priority in their home program. Students are charged the tuition rate of their home program for crossover courses. DAY Program Students - Juniors and Seniors (based on earned credits) are permitted to crossover into AU courses without special permission. - Pay the overload fee for any credits over 19 in their combined DAY/AU load each semester. AU Program Students - Are permitted to crossover into DAY courses. ROCH Program Students - Are permitted to register for AU courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait until Crossover Registration begins. Graduate Courses Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking graduate level courses from that program. Exceptions are made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing and the joint BA Accounting/MAL program. Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay their standard undergraduate rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate course will pay their program's graduate rate for those courses. 53 Evaluation and Grading Evaluation of academic performance is based on letter grades using an A ‐ F scale. 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 an A - F scale or the Pass/No Pass grading system. Explanation of grades: Grade A AB+ Grade Points 4.00 3.67 3.33 B 3.00 Description Excellent Undergraduate: Good Graduate: Satisfactory B2.67 C+ 2.33 C 2.00 Undergraduate only: Satisfactory C1.67 D+ 1.33 D 1.00 Poor D0.67 F 0.00 Failure P 0.00 Pass* N 0.00 No Pass *The letter grade equivalent of a P grade is a C- / 1.67 or higher for undergraduate courses and a B / 3.0 or higher for graduate courses. Pass/No Pass Grades 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 C-. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. The 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 wellness courses 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 Incomplete grades (I) are to be given only in the case of extreme emergency (e.g. illness, family emergency, death in the family, military commitment). If you have any questions regarding the qualifying emergency please contact the Registrar’s Office for verification. 54 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 to the Registrar's Office by the grading deadline for the semester. 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 by the grading deadline 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 F. 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 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 instructor 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 F 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. Withdrawals negatively impact credit completion rate but do not negatively impact the grade point average. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of F, FN, D-, D, D+, C-, 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 (exceptions are made for academic programs with minimum grade requirements of a C+ or higher or other catalog policies that require a course to be retaken). All courses taken each semester 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 University 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) on a space-available basis. Full-time Day students will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 19 credits. The charge to audit a course is $1,000 for part-time DAY/AU/ROCH 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, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript with a V grade. 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 institutions. The formula for calculating the GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with A to F grades assigned. The following grading symbols are not included in the GPA calculation: 55 Symbol Explanation Fall 2017 to Present: Pass, C- or higher undergraduate or B or higher graduate work; P Prior to Fall 2017: Pass, 2.0 or higher undergraduate or 3.0 or higher graduate work S Satisfactory N No pass, no credit V Audit, no credit W Withdrawn I Incomplete X Extension, incomplete IP In progress R Repeat GRT Credit granted Required lab component (a credit-bearing grade was earned in the corresponding L lecture course) NG Not graded, no credit Assessment of Student Learning The faculty at Augsburg University is 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 Office of Academic Affairs. Classification Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each semester. Classification is based on the number of semester credits completed/earned. 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 for the following semester. Changes are limited to once each academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the semester begins. Withdrawal from University 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 University form. The deadline to file a Withdrawal from University is the last Friday prior to finals week. Withdrawal from University and any consequential adjustments in accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from University form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students must be submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. Students are responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of their current mailing address while away. 56 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 email and AugNet Services. 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 must submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. The deadline to file a Leave of Absence form is the Friday prior to the start of each semester. Term Off (AU/ROCH Program Students) Students in the AU/ROCH Programs may take up to two semesters off and have continued access to Augsburg email and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after the 10th business day of the third semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student must submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll. Military Called to Active Duty Augsburg University will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty. 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 active 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 University 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 Office so the University can notify all parties and aid in this process. Student Standing Committee The Student Standing Committee is a standing committee of the University that reviews requests for exceptions to academic and financial policy. Representatives from the faculty, Academic Advising, Registrar’s Office, Student Financial Services, and Student Affairs serve on the committee. Academic / Financial Petitions Students who wish to request exceptions to academic and financial policies should carefully review and complete the Academic/Financial Petition. Petitions must be submitted within 6 months from the end of the semester being petitioned. The Committee typically meets to review petitions and Applications for Readmission every other week during fall and spring semesters and once each month during the summer semester. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Suspension Appeals Students who have been academically suspended have the right to appeal their suspension to the Student Standing Committee. Applications for Readmission Students seeking to re-apply to the University after being placed on academic warning, probation or after being academically suspended must submit an Application for Readmission for review by the Student Standing Committee. Catalog Applicability Active Students (Registered, Leave of Absence, Term Off) 57  May elect to satisfy the general education and departmental requirements outlined in the catalog in effect during their first semester of enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student. Inactive Students (Withdrawn)   Three or Fewer Years Away o Inactive students who are readmitted after three or fewer years away (nine semesters, including summers) may elect to satisfy the general education and departmental requirements outlined in the catalog in effect during their first semester of initial enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student. More than Three Years Away o Inactive students who are readmitted after more than three years away (10 or more semesters, including summers) must complete the general education and departmental requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment or any of the subsequent catalogs in effect while an active student. 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. 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). Credit is granted for college-level coursework completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of C- or better. Credit from non-regionally accredited institutions may be approved if there is a transfer agreement in place, or by petition. Courses that may be developmental, professional or occupational in nature are evaluated on a course-by-course basis in collaboration with faculty from corresponding or similar departments. Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for continuing education units (CEUs). Competency credits and exam credits issued by another institution will be evaluated on an individual basis. The Registrar’s Office evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg's Core Curriculum requirements. Academic departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The University requires that certain courses and a minimum number of credits be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Graduation section of the catalog.) 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. Minnesota Transfer Curriculum 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 (RLN 100). 58 Associate of Arts Degree Completion of an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree from a regionally accredited institution will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements, reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (RLN 100), and will waive one of two Health and Wellness requirements. 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. 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. 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 are maintained on a Joint Services Transcript (JST). 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. Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Augsburg University 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 University for appropriate credit. IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. 59 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 University. CLEP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. 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 University. 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 University 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 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. 60 Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg University 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. Graduation Requirements 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 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 unless otherwise specified by an academic department. Departments with major or minor programs that allow a different number of P-graded credits have defined those limitations along with their major and minor requirements in the catalog. 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 cumulative 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 academic programs require a higher grade point average or a specific 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 Requirement — A minimum of 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program (ACTC, McNally Smith) or study abroad/away through the Augsburg Center for Global Education and Experience. Senior Residence Requirement No fewer than 24 of the last 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange program.  Transfer courses count against the senior residence requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer work prior to the final 32 credits for the degree.  Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) credits -- including AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment -- are not counted against the senior residence requirement. 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. The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Each student is required to file an Intent to Graduate application at the end of their 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 are available for counsel and assistance in program planning. 61 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. 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. Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg University 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 University holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the University’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. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Requirements At the end of each fall, spring, and summer semester, the University will review the academic progress of all non-degree and degree-seeking undergraduate students registered for that semester. In order to remain in good academic and financial aid standing, students are required to maintain a cumulative Augsburg University GPA of at least 2.0 and cumulative credit completion rate of at least 66.67%. GPA Calculation Refer to the Evaluation and Grading section of this catalog. 62 Credit Completion Rate Calculation  Attempted credits: Includes transferred credits and unsatisfactory grades (W, X, I, F, FN, N, IP). o Remedial and repeated courses do not count as attempted credits, so should be subtracted from the total number of attempted credits.  Earned credits: Includes transferred credits and satisfactory grades (A - D-, P).  Divide earned credits by attempted credits (do not round numbers up or down) o Example: 19 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .7037 or 70.37% o Example: 17 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .6296 or 62.96% Warning Students who do not meet cumulative standards will be placed on Warning. At the end of the next semester attempted, students meeting cumulative standards will be removed from Warning. If cumulative standards are not met, the student’s semester term GPA and completion rate will be evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.25 term GPA and 66.67% term completion rate and completing all other Warning requirements (www.augsburg.edu/acskills) will be placed on Probation. If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended. Probation Students on Probation must meet cumulative standards. At the end of the next semester attempted, students meeting cumulative standards will be removed from Probation. If cumulative standards are not met, the student’s semester term GPA and completion rate will be evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.25 term GPA and 66.67% term completion rate and completing all other Probation requirements (www.augsburg.edu/acskills) will remain on Probation. If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended. Students on Warning or Probation who voluntarily withdraw from Augsburg may apply for readmission. At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review their application for readmission. For more information about Warning and Probation requirements, visit www.augsburg.edu/acskills. Suspension Students on Warning or Probation who do not meet cumulative and term standards will be suspended from the University. Students may appeal their Suspension to the Student Standing Committee. The Committee decision is final. Instructions for appeal are included in the Letter of Suspension. Students who have been suspended may apply for readmission after one full academic year (including fall, spring, and summer semesters). At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission. Augsburg University reserves the right to intervene with students who earn less than a 2.00 and 66.67% in a semester but are otherwise meeting cumulative standards. Professional Program 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 University 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 Augsburg Core Curriculum Augsburg University is dedicated to educating students intellectually, physically, and spiritually. To live fully and 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. Through providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the core curriculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of human knowledge and our world. “Search for Meaning” courses invite students to explore vocation, diversity, and pluralism through the study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and encourages students to consider their own religious, philosophical, and ethical commitments in dialogue with other perspective. The Language courses introduce students to the skills and sensibilities necessary to cross cultures and work across difference. Wellness 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 University education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes The University’s mission statement offers a series of educational values: Augsburg University 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  explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local and global contexts 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  identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways As Critical Thinkers, students are learning to …  use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate competing claims  construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other formats As Responsible Leaders, students are learning to …  employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments  articulate and solve problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways 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 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 Problem Solving Intercultural Competence Civic Agency and Engagement Health and Wellness Entry Level Placement Tests Prior to their first registration, students will complete placement tests in:   Mathematics Writing 66   Language Placement and, if applicable, English Language Learning First-year students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete developmental courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later must complete all required developmental 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 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 Test, administered by Academic Advising. Students are required to take the Math Placement Test before registering for the first term. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising -- students are encouraged to study for the exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Test once during their first term of enrollment. Based on the math placement test result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for retaking the Math Placement Test. 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, if planning to take calculus. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or C- 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 A writing sample is required of students to determine placement in an appropriate writing class. Students who transfer an equivalent English composition course from another institution or Advanced Placement English Language and Composition will be waived from the placement test. If we have official access to an ACT writing sample, we can use that sample in place of the writing placement test. All other students must take the Writing Placement Test, administered by Academic Advising. Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. Students placed at Effective take Effective Writing (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students placed at Developmental take Developmental Writing (ENL 101) before taking Effective Writing. These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, C-, 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 a placement test. Students begin their exploration of modern language at the level identified by the placement test. This online placement is administered by Academic Advising. Placement for American Sign Language and Ojibwe is administered by faculty representing those specific languages. English Language Learners Assessment Students whose primary language is other than English will complete a placement to determine preparedness for classes taught in English and may need to complete an English Language Learning course(s). This placement is administered by Academic Advising. 67 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 C-, P, or higher, or transfer in an equivalent course. Attendance at the first day of class is required. Language For students who have not previously studied a second language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same language with a minimum grade of C- or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of C- 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 languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Details are available from Academic Advising. 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 review and sometimes 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 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 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 Recreational Wellness courses. Students may test out of the Recreational Wellness course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected Recreational Wellness activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department each semester. There is a fee to take the Recreational Wellness Activity Proficiency Test. Intercollegiate athletes and Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement. 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 68  Skills Development The Augsburg First Year To smooth the transition to higher education and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take courses containing the following components: Augsburg Seminar and 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 first-year Augsburg Seminar experience, Engaging Minneapolis introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural engagement, and/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 among diverse writers and readers. The Augsburg Signature Curriculum Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning Guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, the Search for Meaning courses encourage inquiry, welcome diversity, wrestle with life’s complexities, and engage the world. Two required courses (RLN 100 plus a Search for Meaning II course) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to developing religious literacy and nurturing students to think critically about the concept of vocation. 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. RLN 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. 69 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 (RLN 100 and 200) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. If a student opts to take another approved upper-division RLN 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. 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. 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. For majors that allow both options, please note that students must choose either the Liberal Arts Foundation waiver or the Language waiver. The two waiver options cannot be combined for a student. 70 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/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:          Actuarial Science (St. Thomas) Biology Biopsychology Chemistry Mathematical Economics Mathematics Music Therapy Nursing Physics 71 Majors and Minors Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Students are required to declare a major upon completion of 48 semester credits, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the departmental pages of this catalog. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation. Minors completed after a bachelor’s degree is awarded are noted on the transcript. Below is a complete list of majors, minors, and emphases. Listings that are in bold type are offered through both the Day Program and the Adult Undergraduate (AU) program.

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 an academic 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 University 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. 74 Students choosing an ACTC major will need to work with an advisor at the other campus to plan course schedules so that the student is making progress towards the degree. Students should know that registration for ACTC courses can be limited and are advised to submit registration materials at the earliest possible time. 75 Pre-Professional Programs Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, or pharmacy 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. In addition, the Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunities (URGO) office includes a Health Science Advisor who works directly with students pursuing health care fields. 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-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 RLN 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 University 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 University 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 is assigned both a faculty and staff academic advisor. In this close interaction, faculty act as mentors for students, and the staff advisor primarily guides course planning. 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) 77 399 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits) 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 requirement.) 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. Day Program students are able to take courses from the other four Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities during fall or spring semester. Adult Undergraduate (AU) classes typically meet on the same night of the week, Monday through Thursday for threeand-a-half hours, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon,” and “Silver.” Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Students may take up to 19 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 19 credits per semester. Courses and majors offered through AU/ROCH are equivalent to their Day Program counterparts. However, the curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors. Course Offerings In general, most courses are offered at least once per year 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. 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. 78 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. While it is not recommended, 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 they have registered for if they do not earn a satisfactory grade in the prerequisite for that course in the preceding semester.

It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves. At Augsburg University, inspiration and creativity flourish with diversity. 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, including graphic design, drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, photography, hand papermaking, book arts, art history, architecture, and digital media. Through experiential learning and critical engagement, we foster understanding of and respect for the crucial contributions of art to society. We are a small campus in the heart of a major metropolitan area with an innovative faculty. Our classrooms extend into the city creating opportunities for community engagement and real-life experiences. 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 15-20 majors annually with Bachelor of Arts degrees in art history, graphic design, studio art, and art education. Minors in studio art, art history, graphic design, and architecture provide additional opportunities for specialization. For more than half a century, students have been earning degrees in art and art history at Augsburg University. We’re excited to be here in the center of the city. You will be, too.

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.

Only those biology courses successfully completed (C- or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. At least four upper division electives must be completed in residence (at Augsburg University). Some students take a 2 semester sequence of human anatomy and physiology either out of interest or to meet a prerequisite for Physician Assistant or other programs. The Biology Department accepts the 2 semester sequence of Human Anatomy and Physiology from several colleges as a replacement for 1 of the upper division electives, without written approval. Consult with a Biology Department advisor to learn which anatomy and physiology courses at other colleges are accepted. Custom Biology Programs Students who have completed BIO 151, 152, 253, 255 and at least one upper division elective may, in consultation with their advisor, seek approval from the department to complete major requirements with as many as four upper division courses from other institutions. Departmental Honors The awarding of Departmental Honors recognizes a student’s outstanding achievement(s) in the Biology Major. Only students who have a major GPA of 3.5 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher may earn Departmental Honors by successfully completing one of the following: 1. Continuation of a summer or academic year biology research internship via successful completion of BIO 297, BIO 399, BIO 497, BIO 499 or HON 499. Before registering for one of these options, students must submit a formal letter of intent to an Honors Committee of three biology faculty (to be determined by the mentor and student) at least 2 weeks prior to the registration deadline. This formal letter of intent will be composed of no more than one page of text providing the following: (1) Title of project; (2) abstract describing the project with special focus given to the questions that will be addressed, the methods to be used and the expected outcomes; (3) name and signature (with date) of your faculty advisor; and (4) list of the three Biology Department faculty who have agreed to serve as your Honors Committee. A decision whether or not to approve registration will be made by the Honors Committee within one week of submission. Successful completion of the Honors process requires a public presentation of your research and a written report in the style of a typical peer-reviewed biological discipline journal article. The written report will be accepted or rejected by the Honors Committee within 2 weeks of submission. Although there is no formal deadline for the submission of the final paper it is advised that the student and committee establish a date for submission, typically no later than March 15, at the time of the proposal submission so that successful recipients of departmental honors can be recognized during graduation ceremonies. 2. Selection for, participation in, and completion of the Mayo Innovation Scholars Program (including the final presentation). 3. Scoring above the national 90th percentile on the ETS Major Field Test in Biology. Minor A course sequence in general chemistry and five biology courses including BIO 151, 152, and three additional BIO courses (200 level or above). The majority of courses in biology must be taken at Augsburg University. 90 Other Requirements In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with members of the biology faculty. Biology majors must have an advisor in the biology department. In order to complete all major requirements in four years, BIO 151 and 152 and General Chemistry should be taken in the first year, and BIO 253, BIO 255 and Organic Chemistry (when appropriate) in the second year. Students should complete their math requirements early in their academic careers. Students must earn a minimum grade of D and an average grade of C- in BIO 151 and 152. Supporting course requirements in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and communication must be satisfied with a grade of C- or higher to satisfy either major or prerequisite requirements. A grade of C- or higher is required in BIO 253 and BIO 255 in order to fulfill major requirements and to fulfill the prerequisite requirements of several upper division biology electives. A grade of C- or higher must be earned in all upper division biology courses applied toward meeting the requirements of a major. All biology courses applied toward the major must be traditionally graded. A GPA of 2.5 in biology courses is required for the life science major. *Students completing majors in biology or life science will be required to take the ETS Major Field Test in Biology during their final year of the program. The exam will appear on the graduation checklist. Biology for Health Sciences Prerequisite requirements for health sciences vary with the program and the institution. Care should be taken to study the requirements for every program well in advance of making application. In general, the pre-medical curriculum includes a year each of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus and physics. Courses in biochemistry, statistics, advanced biology, and social and behavioral sciences are also important preparation for the MR5 Medical College Admissions Exam. Programs in physician assistant training, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, and such typically have a more extensive list of prerequisites. Students considering a post-baccalaureate program in these areas should consult early and often with health science advisors Catherina Kipper, Dixie Shafer, Dale Pederson, and Kelsey Richardson-Blackwell. Graduate Training in Biology Graduate programs in biological fields typically require two semesters of general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus, and physics. Also required is extensive involvement in faculty-student research through URGO, McNair and other research opportunities which satisfy the Augsburg Experience. Student also participate in research off campus through internships and summer research experiences. Careful consultation with a biology advisor is recommended to select among coursework and research options. Teaching Licensure Major The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for biology teachers, the science portions of which are satisfied by the Augsburg Life Sciences major only if BIO 476 Microbiology and BIO 481 Ecology are selected as two of the upper division electives. The state requirements may be subject to change after the publication of this catalog. Students should therefore consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure requirements. All upper division biology requirements for secondary licensure must be completed before beginning student teaching. Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Licensure Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree elsewhere and seek life science teaching licensure at Augsburg are required to complete a minimum of two upper division biology courses at Augsburg with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Required or elective courses are determined by the department following review of transcripts and prior to matriculation.

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 C- grade.

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 Robert Cowgill (Chair), Stephan Clark, Douglas Green, Sarah Groeneveld, Dallas Liddle, John Schmit, Lindsay Starck, 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 141 Theory concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with American Indian Studies, Art, Communication Studies, Film, Theater, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. This concentration requires nine courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 including: 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. 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 - Introduction to Web Design or ART 201 - Introduction to Graphic Design 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 142 ENL 397/399 - Internship An approved ACTC creative writing course 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. 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. See the Education Department section for a listing of secondary education licensure requirements. In addition to consulting your designated ENL advisor, contact an Education Department advisor for information about education courses. 143 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. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill is met by completing the following courses: GST 200, MAT 163, MAT 164, or PHY 119 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, C-, 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). Service Courses The department offers these service courses for students as required by a placement test. 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. 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. 144 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 permission 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 their 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 University’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 University, 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. Speaking (S) and Writing (W) skills are also developed throughout the major, but are given special emphasis in the following courses (both required for majors): S: HIS 480 W: HIS 280 and HIS 480 The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill may be fulfilled by taking HIS 369, GST 200, MAT 145, MAT 146, MAT163, or PHI 230. Teaching Licensure 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. Minor Five courses, at least three of which must be upper division. 156 Departmental Honors 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 four credits) to be defended before a faculty committee. Other Requirements First-year students should enroll in one or more 100-level courses. 200-level courses are normally reserved for sophomore or upper division students. 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. 157 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, 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 adamo@augsburg.edu. Honors Program Recognition Students who complete the Honors Program requirements 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.edu/honors. Students applying for the Honors Program also automatically apply for the University’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 credit. Contact Academic Advising or the Honors Program director for further information. Students may enter the Honors Program at any point in their academic career, so long as they have the time left to complete the 28 credits needed to satisfy the Honors requirements. This usually means by the start of their junior year. All Honors students must complete the three required, 4-credit courses (HON 120, HON 130, and HON 490), and the junior colloquium (HON 340). Honors Program Requirements   All Honors students must complete the University’s General Education core requirements, including RLN 100, RLN 200, ENL 111, and two Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) courses in each of the four disciplinary areas (Humanities, Fine Arts, Social and Behavioral Science, Natural Science and Mathematics). Unless exempt, Honors students must also fulfill the foreign language and physical education requirements. Some Honors courses, both required and elective, may also satisfy Gen Ed requirements. Students should use this circumstance to their advantage where it helps them toward degree completion. For example, students may take 158     HON 100, HON 200, or HON 111 to fulfill the Gen Ed requirements met by RLN 100, RLN 200, or ENL 111, respectively. At the same time, exemption from certain Gen Ed requirements does not mean exemption from Honors requirements. For example, students may be exempt from the Humanities LAF, but this does not make them exempt from taking HON 130-Liberating Letters, which all Honors students must take, usually in their first year. In order to graduate with the Honors Program distinction, all Honors students must participate in a substantial research process. This may be accomplished in a variety of ways, including HON 260 Honors Review, HON 470 Independent Research Collaboration, and URGO summer research. All Honors students must complete 28 credits in Honors to meet the Honors requirements for graduation. Students may transfer up to 8 credits from another institution toward their total of 28 Augsburg Honors credits. Transfer credits may come from AP, IB, PSEO, or other courses, through pre-established reciprocity agreements, participation in a chapter of the PTK community college honors society, or a portfolio of leadership activities. All transfer credits are subject to the approval of the Honors director. (This effectively means that some students may only take 20 Honors credits at Augsburg.) 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 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. 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) 159     Full course (10-20 students) Reading Groups (29 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.

A. in Interdisciplinary Studies degree includes the following requirements:        A student must complete at least 40 credits for the major. Within the 40 credit minimum, a student must complete 24 credits of 300- or 400-level courses and can only include 4 credits of 200-level language courses. A student must select at least one concentration field of study and take at least 20 credits (including 12 credits at a 300- or 400-level) from that field of study (those from a single course prefix, for example AIS, or courses that are typically part of a major in that field). If a student elects to have two concentration fields of study, the student will take 20 credits (including 12 credits at a 300- or 400-level) from each of two fields of study (will have 20 credits from each of two different course prefixes). A student must also complete all core and signature curriculum requirements. A student must complete a capstone and/or keystone as a culminating experience. (Credits for KEY 490 are not included in the 40 credit total.) Options include: o A capstone/keystone course in one of their concentration disciplines; o An internship or faculty mentored research and KEY 490; or o An independent study capstone experience and KEY 490. A student must compile a portfolio of learning experiences that demonstrate the achievement of each of the selected learning outcomes. A template for the portfolios will be developed by the faculty committee proposing this major in consultation with the Director of Assessment and the Director of General Education by April 2017. The name of the major noted on the transcript with by Interdisciplinary Studies, and the concentration(s) will be noted on the transcript. The faculty advisor will assist the student in determining which of the institutional learning outcomes align with the proposed major. Each major will include at least 3 institutional student learning outcomes. a. use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate competing claims b. construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other formats c. critically engage their own beliefs and articulate their gifts and goals for meaningful life and work in a pluralistic context d. identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways e. employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments articulate and solve problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways f. engage their communities and demonstrate a sense of agency to create change in ethical and informed ways g. explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local and global contexts All Interdisciplinary Studies majors will include the following learning outcome. h. demonstrate the ability to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate theories and/or concepts from one or more fields studied in depth The student will work with one faculty member as their advisor and get input from other faculty as needed to develop a major plan. Specialized training will be developed for faculty advisors who are working with students in this major developed with input from Academic Advising, the Director of General Education, and the Director of Assessment. Having one faculty advisor will ensure the consistency of the information for the student and can be accommodated by our current academic management software. The major plan will be approved by the advisor, the department chair of each concentration, and the Dean of Arts and Sciences or the Dean of Professional Studies before submission to the Registrar. 162 For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 163 International Relations International Relations is an interdisciplinary major which provides students with the basis for informed global citizenship, preparing them for graduate study or careers in foreign service, nonprofit organizations, or international business. The student may focus on a discipline or geographic area of the world. The program consists of a core of seven courses and six electives chosen from a wide list of offerings at Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged to consider foreign study opportunities; most of our majors do study abroad at some point during their time at Augsburg. Competency in one foreign language is required, and some students study two languages. All majors complete a significant senior research project and thesis on a topic of their own choosing, such as immigration, conflict resolution, economic development, or climate change. The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international studies with considerable freedom to choose options for specialization. Students often combine this major with a second major in History, Political Science, International Business, or a foreign language. Numerous combinations of majors and minors are possible with the international relations major.

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, Ojibwe, 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.

Math Placement Group (MPG) Before enrolling in any Mathematics course and many other courses that have Math Placement prerequisites, students must have the required Math Placement. All students are required to have their Math Placement Group (MPG) determined. MPG measures student’s current skill in and understanding of Basic Math (MPG 2), Algebra (MPG 3), Precalculus (MPG 4), and Calculus I (MPG 5). Students who have taken the ACT test within the last five years are assigned an initial MPG based on their mathematics subscore, illustrated below. Students who have recently completed a mathematics course at another college or university are assigned an initial MPG by the Registrar’s Office as part of Transfer Credit Evaluation, if the course covers Basic Math, Algebra, Precalculus, or Calculus. Students who receive a grade of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Exam in Calculus (AB or BC) are assigned MPG 5. Students are allowed to take the Math Placement Exam to determine if they should be placed into a higher MPG than their initial placement. In particular, students whose initial placement is MPG 1 or MPG 2 are expected to take the Math Placement Exam. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The exam is given during Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) sessions for first-year students, and before new student registration appointments for transfer and AU students. Other times can be scheduled on an individual basis. Students are also permitted to retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first semester of enrollment at Augsburg University. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Students in MPG 1 take MAT 103 to advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 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. 175 ACT Math Subscore Initial Math Placement Required Math Placement Exam 18 and below MPG 1 Basic Math; Algebra 19-21 MPG 2 Algebra 22-23 MPG 2 Algebra 24-25 MPG 3 No exam needed 22-25 and successful high school precalculus, trigonometry, or calculus MPG 3 Precalculus (if seek MPG 4) 26+ and successful high school precalculus, trigonometry, or calculus MPG 4 No exam needed Prerequisites A course must be completed with a grade of C- or higher to count as a prerequisite for a Mathematics 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 an ideal 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), 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. 178 Music The Music Department at Augsburg University offers education for music professions in the context of a liberal arts curriculum through three degrees and five music majors. All Augsburg students with interest and/or background in music, regardless of major, are eligible to participate in music courses and ensembles. Some music courses fulfill Liberal Arts Foundation requirements. Augsburg’s location in the heart of the vibrant artistic and cultural Twin Cities 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.

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 with outlined plans to complete the project by spring break of the senior year. Piano Proficiency All Augsburg Music majors are required to have basic piano skills that are either demonstrated by passing MUS 238 or by meeting 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. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 186 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 general education requirements of the University, 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. 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. Licensure Requirements General Science Endorsement (for grades 5-8): Introductory Geology (taken off campus, offered through ACTC program) SCI 106 - Introductory Meteorology BIO 121 - Human Biology BIO 102 - The Biological World PHY 116 - Introduction to Physics or PHY 121, 122 - General Physics I, II CHM 115 - General Chemistry I CHM 116 - General Chemistry II *See the Biology, Chemistry, or Physics Department sections for teaching major requirements in those disciplines. Post-baccalaureate Teaching Licensure Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree elsewhere and seek Natural Science teaching licensure at Augsburg are required to complete a minimum of two upper division biology courses at Augsburg with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 187 Nursing (BSN) Bachelor of Science Completion The Augsburg University BSN Completion program is designed exclusively for registered nurses (RNs) who want to advance their education, increase their career opportunities, and address changing health needs in a variety of rapidly changing care settings and communities. No longer do nurses practice only in hospitals, they are moving into communities, corporations, faith-based organizations, schools, rehabilitation centers and long term care facilities. Wherever they work, nurses are making a difference in community health and well-being by providing comprehensive health care for diverse groups of persons and communities 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. Mission Within the context of the liberal arts and Christian values, the baccalaureate in nursing program prepares students to uphold and improve health and human potential among persons, families, groups and communities across care settings with particular emphasis on health inequities locally and globally. Program Goals The program goals at the baccalaureate level:    Prepare graduates of associate degree and diploma nursing programs for professional nursing practice in contemporary and emerging roles. Provide a sound scholarly foundation for transformative nursing practice and graduate study. Create and sustain a teaching-learning environment that promotes personal growth, lifelong learning, and a vocation of professional service in a global society. Department of Nursing Faculty Martha Aleman, Kathleen Clark, Kaija Freborg, Rebecca Hartwig, Cheryl Leuning, Virginia McCarthy, Kristin McHale, Joyce Miller (Chair) 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 188 A minimum grade of C 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. 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 University 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, 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: o Students may be provisionally admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Augsburg with 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. o Students may apply to Augsburg 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 transferring into Augsburg’s BSN completion program will be awarded up to 34 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 requires a professional credit evaluation. See the International Students section of this catalog for details about how to submit this evaluation. 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 189 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. 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 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. 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 University, 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) 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. Accreditation The BSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), which has accredited the Master of Arts in Nursing and the Doctor of Nursing Practice programs at Augsburg. Augsburg is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission.

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), Larry Crockett, Markus Führer, Marit A. Peterson, Judith Stack-Nelson, Bernard Walker 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 University, 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 purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts 191 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. 192 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 administers Augsburg University’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, neurobiological, 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.

But try to define it, and words get tangled in the varieties of religious expressions, experiences, systems, and cultures. Personal perspective and experience also come into play, creating different and even conflicting attitudes and opinions about religion’s value and place in the 21 century. st But while religion is deeply personal, it is seldom private. Its impact is everywhere and affects everyone, from the most committed believer and practitioner to the most convinced atheist. Because of the significance of religion in the public sphere, “Religion and Public Life” serves as a guiding theme that emerges in various ways in the courses offered by the Augsburg University Religion Department as we welcome students of all religious persuasions – and none – to explore the role of religion:     In their own lives with a view toward how their beliefs, values, and commitments inform their place in society; To gain knowledge and competency in relating to the religious beliefs, practices, and cultures of others whom students may engage in their future professional and social contexts; In considering their own career choices in service to the world through religious institutions and organizations; For a deeper understanding of religion’s impact – past and present – in the world they inhabit, regardless of any student’s own religious position. All of these avenues to the exploration of religion in public life support and express the Augsburg University commitment to an educational mission that is “guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church.” This tradition, at the core of Augsburg’s own vocation in higher education, encourages inquiry, welcomes diversity, wrestles with life’s complexities, and engages the world while preparing students of all backgrounds and persuasions “…to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” 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 and Theology & Public Leadership. General Education Requirements RLN 100: Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning I Augsburg embraces a world of many cultures, beliefs, and traditions. This introductory course invites students into that engagement between religious commitment and the world through an exploration of vocation, pluralism, and diversity. The course encounters the search for meaning through the narratives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and encourages students to consider their own religious, philosophical, and ethical commitments in dialogue with other perspectives. Course related texts, activities, and experiences foster critical thinking and inquiry. Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning II For their second required Religion course, students may choose from a wide range of courses that build on the foundational themes established in RLNEL100 and continue the exploration of vocation, the search for meaning, and role of religion in public life in the context of particular issues, topics, and people. These courses focus the study of Religion through a specific topic or issue from the broad field of Religion and its connection to Public Life in a variety of social, cultural, and historical settings. One option, RLNEL 200: Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning II, develops themes from RLNEL 100, including vocation, culture, pluralism, and interreligious dialogue. Other courses are described in the course listings. Any course taken in fulfillment of this requirement may count toward a potential Religion major or minor. 206 Degree and Major Requirements Religion Major, BA Courses offered toward a major in Religion highlight the theme of Religion in Public Life in four main areas: 1) Culture and Society, 2) History and Theology, 3) Sacred Texts and Narratives, 4) Global Religions and Interfaith Studies. Students majoring in Religion may choose one of these areas as a concentration for their degree by completing four courses within the concentration out of the 8 total courses (32 credit hours) required for the major. Faculty in the department work closely with students in selecting courses that match student interests and needs for graduate school, as well as to make possible a double-major in a related field. The Religion major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently—skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools and employers in any field. Major/Concentration/Minor Requirements Religion Major: 8 courses (beyond RLN 100; including RLN 209, RLN 400.)

Graduates of this program do their work in the areas of youth ministry, congregational ministry, community organizing, public policy and advocacy, non-profits and graduate school. Our vision is a generation of Christian leaders who are equipped to lead the Christian church into the public square for the common good. Students in this program earn a Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Public Leadership and are encouraged to combine this degree with a concentration, minor or second major in an area of interest. A Word about Youth and Family Ministry: For decades, Augsburg University has been a leader in the field of youth and family ministry. The Youth and Family Ministry degree program has a long and storied history of pushing the envelope with cutting edge approaches to ministry.

Students in the spring semester of their junior year study social work in Mexico and finish their degrees on time. The Social Work department also offers a rotating selection of faculty-led, short courses to 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. Each course features 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.

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, the 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 Nancy Fischer (Chair), Lars Christiansen, 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 Electives courses: Five SOC electives, at least three of which must be upper division courses (Prerequisite: SOC 121). Note: Majors must have a C- or higher in each required course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in the major, and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the major. 216 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. 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 University. Students are required to have a C- 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. 217 Theater 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 Theater Department explores 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, diversity, and inclusion 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, and contemporary theater from various cultural traditions. In order to encourage non-majors to become involved in our department, we offer six Theater 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 create every opportunity for students to grow both as theater artists and scholars by encouraging connections between our campus and the greater arts community, and between theory and practice. 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-inresidence. 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 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 urban design, policy, and lived experience. Coursework often includes walking tours, field trips, and field research. Augsburg University’s Urban Studies program emphasizes the themes of planning urban and suburban areas to be more environmentally sustainable, promoting the health and civic engagement of citizens, and ways to engage in effective citizen engagement. 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 often 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. 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).

The minor is intended to supplement a student’s current course of study particularly if that student is considering child or youth work in the future. The courses in this minor will help students develop a constructive and critical lens for understanding how young people are viewed and treated within society and how young people interact with and construct meaning and culture. Students in this minor will also gain practical skills through hands-on experience working with children and youth in various settings. The underlying philosophy of the Youth Studies minor is one of youth empowerment. Young people are often targeted as a menace to society, but we see young people as gifted and empowered agents of positive change. Students in this minor will learn to take this approach to youth work into their chosen professions.

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. Admissions visits and tours are available Monday through Friday, including most Saturday mornings during the school year. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is located on the first floor of the Christensen Center and serves traditional and non-traditional students. Application Procedures Day College First-years Application for Admission—Applicants should complete the application for admission and the essay and return them to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions together with the non-refundable $25 application fee. 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. Recommendations—Two letters of academic recommendation are required. 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. Confirmation of Admission—Accepted students are asked to make a $150* enrollment deposit to the Office of Under-graduate Admissions. Those students who wish to live in College housing must also submit a $200 nonrefundable housing deposit along with the housing contract to the Residence Life Office. *Nonrefundable after May 1. Day College Transfers and Weekend College Students Applicants should complete the application form and return it along with the $25 nonrefundable application fee to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students may apply online for free at www.augsburg.edu/weekend/admissions/. Transcripts—Official transcripts from all previous post secondary institutions should be sent directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Applicants with less than one year of previous transferable college work should also have their official high school transcript sent. The GED test certificate 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.

First-year applicants who have been out of high school for more than five years do not need to submit an official test score. 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. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee before an admission decision is made. On occasion, the Admissions Committee may also defer a candidate’s admission until other information has been received. For example, test scores, results of current coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested by the committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Admissions Office will inform the candidate. Notification of Admissions Decision—Augsburg College uses a “rolling” admissions plan. Students are notified of the admission decision, usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by the Admissions Committee. Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary. Please check with an admissions counselor and department sections of this catalog to see if admission to the major is required. Transfer Students A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.50 (on a 4.0 scale) in previous college work is recommended for admission to the College. Information regarding transfer credit policies is found in the Academic Information section of the catalog. 17 Former Students Day students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg College for one semester or more, and WEC/Rochester students who have interrupted attendance at Augsburg College for three trimesters or more, must apply for re-admission through the registrar’s office to resume attendance. Students who have attended other institutions during their absence from Augsburg must have an official transcript sent from each institution to the Office of the Registrar. 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. Students who have graduated from Augsburg who are returning to complete an additional major will not be awarded a second degree unless it is a different degree from the first awarded. Minors are not noted on the transcript if they are completed after a baccalaureate degree has been awarded. Special Students (Second 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. All applicants must provide proof of financial solvency. Applications must be completed two months prior to the start of the semester: June 1 for fall, December 1 for spring.

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.

Once enrolled in the employer reimbursement payment plan, students have until 60 days after the end of each term to pay their term costs in full. 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. Bill. (more details can be found at www.augsburg.edu/enroll/accounts.html) Financial Policies A finance charge is applied at a simple rate of .67 percent per month on any account with an open balance of 30 days or more. Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making scheduled payments in accordance with an approved payment plan. Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts 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 loan offers a teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study is $16,000. Federal Stafford Student Loan—Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the federal govern-ment subsidizes by paying the interest while the student is in school and during the grace period. For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan). The interest rate for new borrowers through the Subsidized Stafford Loan and the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, as of July 1, 2010, is a fixed rate of 4.5% and 6.8%, respectively.

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. 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.

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 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. This service enhances the recruitment, retention, and graduation of PanAfrikan students and enables their learning experience to be interactive.

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. Requirements at other universities may vary. Pre-Engineering—See engineering degree and major requirements. 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 lawrelated courses to help determine their interest in law. 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.

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 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. 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 maybe 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 course in collegelevel Spanish or its equivalent. 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 Spanishspeaking 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, socioeconomic 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 crossculturally 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 options in diverse disciplines: liberal arts programs, group programs, “tailormade” 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. 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.

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: 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.

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. Academic Policies and Procedures Registration A student must be registered for a course in order to earn credit, and all registered courses will be reflected on a student’s AugNet page. Students are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their registrations. Additionally, day students are required to meet with their academic advisers prior to registration for the fall and spring terms. Web registration through AugNet is the primary method of registration, though the Enrollment 97 Center is available to process registration forms.

Students registered for three or more course credits in a semester are classified as full-time students. Students registered for two course credits are classified as half-time students. To register for more than 4.5 course credits, students must contact the Enrollment Center to petition the Committee on Student Standing unless the following apply: students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 to 3.49 may take a total of 5.0 course credits or with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 5.5 course credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done in person at the Enrollment Center. (Note: There is an additional tuition charge for course loads over 4.5 course credits. This includes combining the credit load from both the day and WEC programs. Spring day term will include winter WEC and spring WEC.) auditing classes over the 4.5 overload limit will also incur a tuition charge. Official academic calendars for all programs are available through the registrar’s webpage. The last day to initially register for courses in the Day program (semesters) is the Friday before the term begins. After initial registration, Day students may add individual classes to their current schedule or withdraw without notation through day 10 of the term. The signature of the instructor is required to add a class after the fifth day. From day 11 through day 20, students may still petition the Committee on Student Standing for permission to add a class. There is a fee for this petition. Day 20 is the last day to petition for adding a class. Students registered for day program Time 1/Time 2 (T1/T2) courses that meet only part of the term may add or withdraw without notation through the fifth school day after the start of the course. Changing grade option or withdrawing with a W is allowed through the fourth week of T1/T2 classes. Specific dates for each term are listed under “Academic Calendars” at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Weekend College, Rochester, and Partner Hospitals program students typically register for one or two course credits each trimester. Maximum credit load is 4.0 credits. Students registered for at least two course credits in one term are considered full time for that term. Students registered for one course credit are considered half-time for the term. The last day to initially register for courses in the Weekend College and the Partner Hospitals program (Weekend College) is the last business day before the term begins. After initial registration, Weekend College students may add individual classes to their current schedule or withdraw without notation through Friday after the first class weekend. The signature of the instructor is required to add a class after the class meets. Students may petition the Committee on Student Standing for permission to add a class through the Thursday prior to the second class weekend. There is a fee for this petition. The last day to petition to add a class is the Thursday prior to the second class weekend. 98 Students registered for Weekend College T1/T2 courses may add or withdraw without notation through the Friday after the first weekend class meeting. Changing grade option or withdrawing with a W is allowed through the Tuesday after the second weekend class meeting. The last day to initially register for courses on the Rochester campus is the last business day before the term begins.

Changing grade option or withdrawing with a W is allowed through the Monday after the second week of the class. Separate rules apply to Summer School. Late course registrations may be subject to additional late fees. ACTC school course listings are also available online and should be checked to verify the correct meeting times and room assignment. 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. A learning agreement plan (form available from the Strommen Career and Internship Center) must be submitted to the faculty member responsible for grading the experience. The original is turned in to the Strommen Career and Internship Center and copies are sent to the faculty supervisor and student. 196 Internship/On-campus 197 Internship/Off-campus (.5) 198 Internship/On-campus (.5) 199 Internship/Off-campus A work or servicebased 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 Career and Internship Center regarding requirements and permission to register. 396 Internship/On-campus 397 Internship/Off-campus (.5) 398 Internship/On-campus (.5) 399 Internship/Off-campus A work or servicebased 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 120 students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Career and Internship Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off campus 397/399 internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.) 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 Study/Research 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. 121 American Indian Studies American Indian studies is a major that gives students the opportunity to learn about the original, indigenous cultures of North America. Students will be provided with a multidisciplinary understanding of the history and present situation of American Indians. The program emphasizes the interrelations among history, culture, language, literature, the arts, philosophy, religion, political and social forces, and the legal status and sovereignty of American Indians. This course of study exposes students to the richness and beauty of North American Indian cultures. American Indian Studies Faculty Eric Buffalohead (Chair), Sophia Jacobson, Elise Marubbio Adjunct Faculty Roxanne Gould, Richard Gresczyk, Dale Weston Degree and Major Requirements American Indian Studies Major Ten courses including; AIS 105 Introduction to American Indian Studies AIS 205 Contemporary American Indians ENL 255 American Indian Literature or AIS 264 American Indians in the Cinema HIS 236 American Indian History REL 370 American Indian Spirituality and Philosophical Thought AIS 499 Senior Research Project In addition, students must complete four electives. At least four of the courses toward the major must be upper division. 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 graduation skill in Quantitative Reasoning (QR) is met by GST 200 or PHI 230. Transfer students must consult an adviser about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. Minor Five courses including AIS 105. At least two must be upper division. Course Offerings at Augsburg College AIS 105 Introduction to American Indian Studies Designed to introduce students to the content areas of the American Indian studies curriculum, this course includes an overview of American Indian history, federal Indian policy, land issues, reservation and urban issues, cross-cultural influences, and American Indian literature, art, music, and language. 122 OJB 111, 112 Beginning Ojibwe I, II An introduction to the language and culture of the Ojibwe (Chippewa). Emphasis is on vocabulary, reading, writing, and conversational skills. Classroom practice will include linguistic patterns and oral interaction. ANT 141 Cultural Anthropology This course serves as an introduction to cultural anthropology. Course objectives include providing students with an understanding of anthropological methods and theories, the concepts of race and culture, an appreciation and awareness of differing cultures, and an awareness of the role cultural anthropology has in understanding contemporary human problems.

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.

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

Chemistry 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. Should licensure not be possible, graduation can be achieved through an English major, which requires at least two additional, specific courses, or through a communication studies major. Graduation Skills Graduation Skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major.

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.

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. Prospective students may demonstrate achievement in a variety of ways.

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. 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.

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.

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).

It also offers a variety of music courses and ensemble experiences that are available to non-music majors and courses that 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).

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. Consult the registrar’s website for up to date information www.augsburg.edu/enroll/registrar or the Music Department for course offerings in each term.

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.

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.

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.

Geography and anthropology are also acceptable fields, although they are not offered as majors on the Augsburg campus. 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.

Students will study how people develop, with attention to the interaction between individuals, families, and the changing social environment. The course takes a life span perspective of human development, from birth 372 to death in the context of the person in the environment. Traditional approaches to life “stages” are also explored, along with less traditional issues, such as human behavior and development as a result of different cultures, sexual orientation, poverty, and differing physical or mental abilities, and the relationship between diverse statuses and the social environment. [Fall] SWK 306 Social Work Practice 1: With Individuals Students develop foundational social work practice knowledge, skills, and values while learning to interview, assess, set goals, and work with individual clients.

[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. An application for departmental honors/graduation with distinction must be completed by spring of the junior year.

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.

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.

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. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. 12 Annual Security Report The Annual Security Report (ASR) 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.

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. For further information, call 612-330-1053. 35 TRIO Programs TRIO programs are funded by the US Department of Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg College.

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 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 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. The PAC brings the knowledge and experience of Afrikan people in the Diaspora to the community through a variety of programming as well through advising the PanAfrikan Student Union. The Pan-Afrikan Student Union (PASU) is a commissioned organization whose purpose is to enable students of African descent to share their diversity and collectively express their fellowship with the Augsburg community. PASU sponsors a variety of social, intellectual, and cultural activities.

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.

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.

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.

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. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 140 Environmental Studies Environmental Studies is the interdisciplinary investigation of human relations with the natural world. 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.

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. Honors Established Curriculum These requirements are normally taken in the order listed below, but can be taken out of order if schedule conflicts require it.

For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 156 Interdisciplinary Studies Interdisciplinary Studies programs draw upon and combine coursework from multiple academic disciplines to provide both broad perspective and in-depth focus on an area of study. Through interdisciplinary programs and courses, students can gain greater insight and understanding of cultures and perspectives different from their own. Augsburg offers a number of majors that are interdisciplinary in nature. They include:      American Indian Studies Environmental Studies Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (ACTC) International Relations Urban Studies Information about these majors and their requirements can be found in their respective departmental pages. Other interdisciplinary course offerings are listed under International Programs. Leadership Studies Minor The world of the 21st century demands complex skills. It is not enough to have an area of expertise or be a good manager. One needs leadership skills. The Augsburg curriculum offers a minor in Leadership Studies, drawing on a wide variety of courses across disciplinary lines. A minor in Leadership Studies can enhance your major in a wide variety of disciplines including Business, Sociology, Political Science, Communication, Computer Science, Economics, and Psychology. Coordinator: Alan Tuchtenhagen, Master of Arts in Leadership Program Director Four required courses: BUS 242 - Principles of Management SOC 349 - Organizations and Society: Understanding Nonprofits and Corporations COM 345 - Organizational Communication POL 371 - Topics: Becoming a Leader Two required electives from the following list.

For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 157 International Relations International Relations is an interdisciplinary major which provides students with the basis for informed global citizenship, preparing them for graduate study or careers in foreign service, nonprofit organizations, or international business. The student may focus on a discipline or geographic area of the world. The program consists of a core of seven courses and six electives chosen from a wide list of offerings at Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged to consider foreign study opportunities; most of our majors do study abroad at some point during their time at Augsburg. Competency in one foreign language is required, and some students study two languages. All majors complete a significant senior research project and thesis on a topic of their own choosing, such as immigration, conflict resolution, economic development, or climate change. The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international studies with considerable freedom to choose options for specialization. Students often combine this major with a second major in History, Political Science, International Business, or a foreign language. Numerous combinations of majors and minors are possible with the international relations major.

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.

Prerequisites A course must be completed with a grade of 2.0 or higher to count as a prerequisite for a Mathematics course. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 167 Medieval Studies The objective of Medieval Studies is to introduce students to the culture of the Middle Ages—its diverse history and beliefs, its arts and literature—and to the disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills necessary for its serious study. The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world. As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies prepares students for life beyond college. Because of its emphasis on precise reading and analysis of texts, careful writing, and spirited discussion, the major in Medieval Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as employment opportunities that require abilities in communication, critical and abstract thinking, and processing information. 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 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).

The College followsa 4-1-4 calendar,with Fall and Spring semestersof approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a four-course load during Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation). It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972Educational Amendments or Section504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

I Chemistry Chemistry for Changing Times CHE 100-49010 Chemistry has beeniinlin~atclya part of liberal education for centuries. The early sikntists were considcrd to be philosophers and their societies wcrPp11ilowplzicr I societies. In recent decades the human seeking of pcxsonal indcpcnduncc has led to chemistry becoming a part of evcrychy 1i fc fo the point of actual dependence on chemistry. We live in a korld of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, "the pill", food additives aiqdprocessed foods, vitamin supplements, the energy crisis, chcmical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching for lifc cm other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and on. Etnoiions and mental disorders can often be traced to chemical irnbalancc. The common dragged out, grumpy feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The na turc of a hangover is the result of a complex system of altered body chemistry. Even lcarhi ng appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a "rncrnoly molecule". Most of the problems we &ce are molecular in na tnrc. What thenbut chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves, our society, our world, and our universe? Come join us as we b k c a molecular look at the human ct~ndition. d This c ' urw will be offered in a lecture/discussion format. Films will sdpplcrncni the lecture/discussion periods.

The course explores social work services with this dual focus. We will visit a variety of community agencies: formal public, private, and natural helping networks in a range of urban and rural settings. In order to experience the nation's culture, we will be invited to English family homes, meet with social work students, attend theatre performances, and visit historic treasures. London is the nerve center for the country's resources and we will begin by visiting some of its foremost community institutions such as Great Ormond Street Childrensl Hospital and Toynbee Hall Settlement. With the help of English social work students, we will unravel the post Second World War commitment to universal socialpolicies. These policies have established servicesavailable to all citizensin health, education, income maintenance, housing, and personal social servics. They also provide the major working turf of the social work profession. As a contrast to the inner city of London, we will visit Exeter and explore the rural and beautiful coastal West Country. In addition to the formal 'public' social work agencies such as Probation and Corrections, we will make contact with informal services and the small, more extended family oriented fishing and farming communities. Throughout the course, there will be an emphasis on understanding current national policies and attitudes through cultural and literary connections. Therefore, visits to the National Theatre, The Houscs of Parliament, cathedrals, and ancient community sites such asOxford are an integral part of rmgnizingand appreciating the wholc community. CuIturc and history come to lifc duringday excurtions through the gcntle English countryside ta Oxford and Stratford, Warwick and Coventry, Bath and Canterbury.

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. Augsburg’s challenging academic environment is enhanced by both education and service experiences that transform theory into action and unite the liberal arts with the practical in preparing students as faithful citizens in a global society.

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. 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). This five-college consortium allows Day Program students to take courses on other campuses without additional charge while a full-time student at Augsburg.

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. 3 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. 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 4 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. 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. Day Program Augsburg’s Day Program (DAY) provides an educational opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree in a traditional weekday format. 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 will begin a three year transition into the Adult Undergraduate Program (AU). Current students may continue in the WEC program until spring semester 2017. New students will begin joining the AU program in Fall 2014. 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 6 the major program may be scheduled on Monday or Wednesday weeknights. AU students may take from one to four courses each semester. Minneapolis Campus For a complete list of degree completion programs offered in the AU Program visit www.augsburg.edu/academic/majors. 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. 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. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on weekday evenings, making them accessible to working adults. 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. 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.

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, 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 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 • 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 www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial. 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. 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. 19 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 o Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record. Graduate Students o Students must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record. 2) Minimum Credits Completed Undergraduate Students 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. Graduate Students 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 – 2.5 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 Undergraduate Students 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. Graduate Students To demonstrate academic progress, graduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the length of the program. Requirements to Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards 1) Cumulative GPA Undergraduate Students Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard will need to follow the Academic Probation standards set forth by Augsburg College Registrar’s Office. The student must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA or higher. Graduate Students Students who are not meeting the GPA SAP standard must maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA or higher. 20 2) Minimum Credits Attempted Undergraduate and Graduate students earning less than 67% credits attempted must be enrolled at least half-time, must earn all attempted credits, cannot withdraw from any of the courses, and must achieve a minimum grade of 2.0 or better in each course. 3) Maximum Time Frame Undergraduate and Graduate students must complete and attain their degree within the 150% of the length of the program. 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 Probation. 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. A student on Financial Aid Warning must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan. Financial Aid Warning will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic plan. Students currently on Financial Aid Warning who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. Students can continue to be placed on Financial Aid Warning for periods longer than one term on a case by case basis and/or as determined by the Student Financial Services Office. Financial Aid Probation A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement or minimum credits attempted while on Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation is ineligible to receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Probation may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial aid, and if the appeal is approved, the student must work with the designated Financial Aid Counselor to submit an academic plan. Financial Aid Probation will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or guidelines set forth in the academic plan. Students can continue to be placed on Financial Aid Probation for periods longer than one term on a case by case basis and/or determined by the Student Financial Services Office. Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Probation 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 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. [1] Include all degree seeking students in both the Undergraduate Day and Augsburg for Adults, and all Graduate programs. [2] Financial Aid is defined as: Augsburg Institutional Aid, Federal Title IV funding, and Minnesota State Financial Aid programs. 21 Financial Policies Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making scheduled payments in accordance with an approved payment plan. Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student account charges 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. 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. 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. 22 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. See the dates below. 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 withdrawal or fully withdraw from courses if the student received. 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; be planful for courses that start midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date. Student’s accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore account before credit refunds are issued. If your bookstore charges creates a balance on your account you need to make payments in accordance with your statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student’s 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. 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 Service’s 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. 23 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. 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. 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, 24 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 by May 1: • • • Enrollment deposit 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.

Augsburg provides a variety of board plan options for those living in College houses or nearby apartments. 26 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. Lesbian, Bisexual, 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 by fostering a community that honors and affirms the wholeness of all identities. 3. 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. 27 4. 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. 5. Student Groups CAO manages student groups 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. 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 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 group 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 group use. 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. 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. 28 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 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 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.

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. 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 31 • • • • • 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 • 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 • 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 o o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to WEC/AU students who are currently working full or parttime. 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. The Director or Internship Coordinator of Career and Internship Services supervises and evaluates the Work Connections reflection process. 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: 32 The Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising Academic Advising orients new Day and Adult Undergraduate (AU) students to the academic policies and procedures of the College and assists students with initial course selection. This office continues to serve students throughout their tenure at Augsburg by interpreting core curriculum requirements, administering entry-level skills assessments, interpreting graduation requirements, providing degree-planning 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. All incoming students are assigned a faculty and staff advisor. Prior to the end of their sophomore year, when they have completed 48 or more semester credits, students are required to declare a major and select a faculty advisor from their chosen major. 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 students are required to meet with their assigned faculty advisor(s) each term prior to registration. Both day and Adult Undergraduate (AU) students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor(s) as often as is necessary. 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 • 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 • o 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 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. 33 o o To complete the program in order to “transition”, students are required to:  Complete all required courses (30 semester credits) including Foundations of Fitness (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 which may include 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 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, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory Assistance with 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 opportunities 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 appropriate documentation. 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 curricular 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. TRIO Programs TRIO programs are funded by the US Department of Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg College. TRIO Programs seek to help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education.

TRIO-McNair Scholars Program The Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program (McNair Scholars), a federal TRIO program funded by the US Department of Education, is designed to prepare participants for graduate school through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. The goal is to increase the number of students in doctoral degree programs who are low-income, first-generation and/or underrepresented in graduate education. The Augsburg McNair program serves 26 students per year. Students must be enrolled full-time at Augsburg College and are admitted during their sophomore or junior year. Admissions is competitive and student must demonstrate strong academic potential and have an interest in pursuing doctoral studies. To be eligible for the program, the student must be a permanent resident or U.S. citizen; qualify as BOTH low-income AND first generation; AND/OR a member of a group underrepresented in graduate study—African American, American Indian, Alaskan Native, or Hispanic/Latino.

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 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.

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 Robert Groven, 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. A regularly scheduled bus shuttles students between the campuses. 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 MetroUrban 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. 42 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.html. Augsburg Abroad Augsburg Abroad is the front door for students and faculty interested in education abroad, which includes study, internships, service-learning, research, student teaching, and field study abroad. Services provided through the Augsburg Abroad office: • • • • • Study abroad program selection advising Financial and academic advising for study abroad Registration and billing for study abroad Pre-departure and re-entry support Faculty-led, short-term program coordination About half of Augsburg undergraduate students study abroad at least once before graduating. Students can study a variety of disciplines in a wide variety of countries. For example, students have the opportunity to study gender issues in Mexico, study social change in Central America, carry out business simulations in Norway and Germany, do student teaching in Italy, intern with community organizations in Northern Ireland, do an internship in Namibia, do ecological field study in Tanzania, take organic chemistry in England, and gain fluency in a foreign language where it is widely spoken. Students can choose from more than 300 programs in 90+ countries. Programs vary in length from one week to a year abroad. In addition to the Augsburg Study Abroad programs (Augsburg faculty-led short-term, Center for Global Education, International Partners and Exchange, and HECUA programs), students can choose from affiliated program providers. Academic Requirements and Credit Students automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement on Augsburg Abroad-approved study abroad programs. 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 Approval Form that is signed by faculty advisor(s), and appropriate staff and faculty approving courses. Semester and Summer Programs • • • • Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year meet the Augsburg residency requirement as students remain enrolled at Augsburg while abroad. 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 non-Augsburg programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and thus are not figured into the GPA. 43 • A grade of “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. Eligibility Following are Augsburg College’s requirements for study abroad: • • • • • Minimum 2.5 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs may require a higher average. Students with lower averages should consult with Augsburg Abroad. Sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you study abroad. First-year students on a case-by-case basis may be allowed to study at Augsburg’s Center for Global Education-Mexico site during their second term. 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 study abroad 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. Application Process In order to study abroad students should follow the P-A-C-K steps: Profile: Create an online profile by clicking “Get Started” on the Augsburg Abroad website at www.augsburg.edu/augsburgabroad. Advising: Attend an advising meeting—check Augsburg Abroad website for times and location Choose: Choose from more than 300 Augsburg and affiliate programs in more than 90 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 study abroad and winter-break faculty-led programs November 1 - Spring-break faculty-led programs January 31 - 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. Study Abroad and Disabilities Augsburg Abroad and the CLASS office 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 abroad 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 44 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. Costs and Financial Aid The cost of semester study abroad is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing, international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and study abroad 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 study abroad. Students will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition 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 study abroad 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 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 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 Augsburg Abroad immediately if they choose not to continue with their study abroad 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 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. Augsburg Study Abroad Programs Augsburg 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. 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, Cuba, 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 living several weeks 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. Scholarships are available for Augsburg students. Crossing Borders: Gender and Social Change in Mesoamerica (Mexico)—Fall This program is an experientially-based intensive semester of study and travel designed to introduce students to the important issues facing Mexico, US-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 45 interconnectedness of race, ethnicity, class, 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, 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 four-to-five-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 semester-long homestays are available for Spanish majors and others upon request. Students may meet several Core Curriculum requirements while in Mexico and/or take courses in the following four concentrations: Business, Religion, Spanish and Women’s Studies. Nation-Building, Globalization, and Decolonizing the Mind: Southern African Perspectives (Namibia and South Africa)— Fall or Spring This program examines the crucial issues of nation-building, globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the perspectives of the new democracies in 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 as well as under- and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a long-term project. Credit is available in History, Religion, Political Science, Environmental Studies and Interdisciplinary Studies. Internships are also available in several disciplines. Social Change in Central America: Exploring Peace, Justice, and Community Engagement (Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua)—Fall or Spring This is an intensive semester of study and regional travel designed to introduce students to the key issues facing Central Americans.

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 curricular requirements for the 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 experience is also available for qualified students. Students live with Mexican host families for six weeks. Language and Culture in Mexico (Mexico)—Summer This community-based program includes multiple guest speakers, excursions to historical, cultural, and archeological sites, and group discussions designed to help you learn about the diverse cultures and current issues of Mexico. Weekend excursions include trips to Mexico City, Taxco, Puebla, and the Teotihuacan pyramids. Two seven-week sessions focus on Spanish language and Mexican culture in which students can take two courses per session, plus a non-credit Latin Dance course. Students may choose to participate in just one or both summer sessions for a total of eight or sixteen credits. It is possible to fulfill the language requirement by taking two intensive Spanish courses in one seven-week session. 46 International Exchange Partner Programs The Office of International Programs offers a broad range of semester and academic year exchange programs in China, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Norway, and Slovenia. Students can choose from several options in diverse disciplines. All coursework is in English. Travel scholarships are available for these 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 International Programs and Metro-Urban Studies sections of the departmental pages of this catalog. 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. New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future—Fall Based in Auckland, this new 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. A number of topics explored during the semester include 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 address sustainability, and many more economic and environmental issues. Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Fall and 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. The New Norway: Globalization, National Identity and the Politics of Belonging—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. Inequality in America: Policy, Community, and the Politics of Empowerment—Fall or Spring This semester-length program delves into the root causes of increasing levels of poverty and inequality in the United States. To understand these issues, the program focuses on the economy, housing systems, education, welfare, government policies, urban sprawl, regional race and class segregation, and institutional discrimination. This program is based in the Twin Cities. Art for Social Change: Intersections of Art, Identity and Advocacy—Spring An interdisciplinary study of the role of art and the artist in working for social justice, and an exploration of the relationship between art, culture, and identity. Students meet local artists, activists, private and public arts funders, and politicians, and engage in a thorough examination of the role of art in advocating for social change. Environmental Sustainability: Science, Public Policy, and Community Action—Fall 47 This semester program addresses key processes of ecosystem degradation and rehabilitation, the social and economic underpinnings of conflict over environmental change, and public policy and community-based strategies to achieve sustainability. It uses social, economic, and environmental sustainability to address themes like the links between rural and urban concerns and the way local decisions relate to regional and global trends. Students gain first-hand experience learning from community organizers, government planners, and business leaders who are rising to the challenges of creating a more sustainable world. This program is based in the Twin Cities. Agriculture and Justice: Building a Sustainable Food System—Spring "You are what you eat." What we eat shapes the physical and moral landscapes of our lives, from the health of our bodies to the health of our communities. What is the path from seed to restaurant? How do labor and land policies determine which seeds are grown where, and by whom? Who benefits from our current system? Who is harmed? This program of two linked semester courses uses interdisciplinary and field-based methods to dig deep into the food system, exploring the roots of land ownership and labor practices in the U.S., unpacking economics and policies, and providing a place for each student to explore his or her own role in creating a sustainable future. This program is based in the Twin Cities. Making Media, Making Change: Digital Technologies, Storytelling, and Activism—Spring This program combines psychology, art, and media studies to deepen your critical understanding of how media and digital technologies both limit and organize struggles for social justice.

Writing for Social Change: The Personal, the political and the Power of the Written Word—Fall Writing for Social Change prepares students to be better readers, writers, and actors in our society by looking at the role of literature and literary production in creating social transformation. As one theme of the program, students focus on “voice” and the idea of claiming voice as a means of empowerment, while they simultaneously develop writing craft and critical reading skills. The program offers a balance of creative writing workshops (in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction) and critical reading/reflection sessions. This program is based in the Twin Cities. 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/US relations, and provision of opportunities to learn directly from Canadians through visits and exchanges. 48 Academic Policies and Procedures Registration A student must be registered for a course in order to earn credit, and 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 and 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.

For drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Crossover Registration Policy (This policy is approved for the 2014-2015 academic year and is subject to review for the 2015-2016 academic year.) Undergraduate students are enrolled in a home program (DAY, AU, or 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 Student - Are permitted to crossover into DAY courses. WEC Program Students - Are permitted to register for DAY and AU courses as soon as their registration windows are 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. 50 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 Letter Equivalent A A-/B+ B B-/C+ C C-/D+ D DF F 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) 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. 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 51 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 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, 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 Completed Semester Credits 0 – 27.99 28 – 59.99 52 Juniors Seniors 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. Readmission To apply for readmission after withdrawing from the College, students must submit an Application for Readmission. • • • • • The last day to be approved for readmission is the Friday prior to the start of the term. Please note that processing may take up to 10 business days. If the student has attended other institutions since leaving Augsburg, official transcripts must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office. All financial holds must be cleared before a student can be approved for readmission. If the student was academically dismissed, withdrew while on academic probation, or has a GPA below 2.0, they will need to submit a personal statement explaining their circumstances for review by the Student Standing Committee. If the student withdrew for medical reasons, a doctor’s note indicating the student is well enough to resume studies must be submitted with the application. 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 records. 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 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. 53 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. Student Standing Committee 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 the Enrollment Center, Financial Aid, Residence Life, Registrar 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. 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. 54 Students should consult with their faculty advisors and the Registrar’s Office before taking courses at other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. 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 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 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 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: • • • • Complete REL 300 Bible, Christian Theology, and Vocation instead of REL 100 and Search for Meaning II Waiver of Augsburg Seminar requirement Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis 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 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 apply for graduation 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. 55 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. 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 56 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. 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 57 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. 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. 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 0.0 or No Pass grades He/she is a sophomore, junior, or senior who receives three 0.0 or No Pass grades At the end of the first term, he/she 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. 58 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: • • 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 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 www.augsburg.edu/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 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. 59 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. Overview 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, known as the Augsburg Core Curriculum, include signature courses and experiences, a liberal arts foundation, and skills development. Entry Level Placement Tests Math, Writing, English, and language placement for Augsburg language courses Core Skills Effective Writing Modern Language Lifetime Fitness The Augsburg Core Curriculum The Augsburg First Year • • • Augsburg Seminar Engaging Minneapolis Many Voices Project The Augsburg Signature Curriculum • Christian Vocation and the Search for Meaning I and II The Liberal Arts Foundation • • • • Natural Sciences and Math Social and Behavioral Sciences Humanities Fine Arts Augsburg Experience Senior Keystone Electives Majors Graduation Skills • • Critical Thinking Quantitative Reasoning 60 • • Speaking Writing 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 begin 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 begin 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 All students will 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. 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 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 who have not previously studied a modern language must complete a two-course language sequence. A minimum grade of 2.0 or P is required for each course to satisfy the requirement. 61 For a language previously studied, placement into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the Core Skill 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 Core Skill 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. 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. 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 HPE 002 - Lifetime Activity courses. Students may test out of the activity 62 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 128 credit graduation requirement. 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 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: • • • The Augsburg Signature Curriculum The Liberal Arts Foundation The Graduation Skills Requirements 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, 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. 63 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 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. 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, 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. 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) 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 64 teaching), faculty-student research, service-learning/community service, study abroad, and off-campus immersion experiences. An Augsburg Experience integrates experiential and academic learning and 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. 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, 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 incorporates both foundational mathematical 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 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: 65 • • • • • • • • • • • • 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. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language Waiver: • • • • • • • • Biology Biopsychology Chemistry Mathematical Economics Mathematics Music Therapy Nursing Physics 66 Majors and Minors Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic disciplines. Students are required to declare a major upon completion of 48 semester credits, and earlier in some disciplines. Details of majors and minors are in the departmental pages of this catalog. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation. Minors completed after a bachelor’s degree is awarded are noted on the transcript. Below is a complete list of majors, minors, and emphases. Listings that are in bold type are offered through both the Day Program and the Adult Undergraduate (AU) program.

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. 68 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 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. • 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. 69 Other Study Programs Teaching Licensure Several teaching licensure programs are offered at Augsburg. Licensure is available in kindergarten-elementary or K-6 license. A middle school endorsement is available in one of the following: mathematics, science, communication arts/literature, social studies. A preprimary endorsement (3- to 5-year-olds) is also available. Licensure is also available in the following middle school/high school fields: 5-8 general science, life sciences, chemistry, communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, physics, and social studies. This license prepares people to teach in grades 5-12. 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 (K-12), vocal music and instrumental music (K-12), and physical education (K-12). 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.) A K-12 special education major or license in Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS) is available. A K-12 major and license in English as a Second Language (ESL) is also available. These two majors and licenses are offered only through Weekend and Evening College. Students seeking elementary licensure, special education licensure, and ESL licensure have Education Department advisors. Students seeking 5-12 and K-12 licensure have advisors in their subject area major and in the Education Department. It is important that students work closely with their advisors throughout their programs. Certificate Programs Augsburg offers undergraduate certificates through the Departments of Art and Business Administration (see departmental pages for requirements). Certificates are available to non-degree-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 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-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, 351, 352; MAT 114 or 163 or 248; PHY 121, 122; PSY 105. Requirements at other universities may vary. Pre-Engineering • o See Engineering 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-Medicine o • 70 Majors in chemistry and biology are 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. At this time, most medical schools list prerequisite courses which are the equivalent of CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; BIO 151, 152, 253; MAT 145, 146 and PHY 121, 122. Many also require the equivalent of BIO 369 and MAT 163 or 248. Students should take care to examine closely the requirements of each program to which they intend to apply. o The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is scheduled to be substantially altered in 2015. A new section in social and behavioral sciences will be added and greater emphasis placed on advanced topics in biology. Students planning to enter medical school in the fall of 2016 or later should work closely with health profession advisors to learn how the exam will differ from the current format and what prerequisite coursework will be required by medical schools at that time. Pre-Occupational Therapy, Pre-Physician Assistant, and Pre-Physical Therapy o • Coursework in preparation for these programs should be discussed with a faculty member in the Department of Biology. 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. Pre-Veterinary Medicine o • o 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, 351, 352; PHY 121, 122. Additional liberal arts courses are required. Requirements at other universities may vary. 71 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) 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 72 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 requirement.) 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 Calendar 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. Class Schedule 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. Credits 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. 73 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, Women’s Studies, 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. Full explanation of departments and academic programs including major/minor requirements, graduation skills, and other academic information is provided in the following pages, alphabetically by department. 74 American Indian Studies American Indian Studies is a major that gives students the opportunity to learn about the original, indigenous cultures of North America. Students will be provided with a multidisciplinary understanding of the history and present situation of American Indians. The program emphasizes the interrelations among history, culture, language, literature, the arts, philosophy, religion, political and social forces, and the legal status and sovereignty of American Indians. This course of study exposes students to the richness and beauty of North American Indian cultures. Faculty Eric Buffalohead (Chair), Elise Marubbio, Richard Gresczyk, Jim Rock, Dale Weston, Vinodh Kutty Degree and Major Requirements American Indian Studies Major Nine courses including: AIS 105 - Introduction to American Indian Studies AIS 205 - Contemporary American Indians ENL 255 - American Indian Literature or AIS 264 - American Indians in the Cinema HIS 236 - American Indian History REL 370 - American Indian Spirituality and Philosophical Thought In addition, students must complete four electives. At least four of the courses toward the major must be upper division. 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 graduation skill in Quantitative Reasoning (QR) is met by GST 200 or PHI 230. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. American Indian Studies Minor Five courses including AIS 105. At least two courses must be upper division. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 75 Art Art is essential. It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves. At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity grow from the diversity of ideas 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 Bachelor of Arts degrees in art history, studio art, and 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, service-learning 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. Biology Faculty Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright (Chair), Dale Pederson Matthew Beckman, Ralph Butkowski, William Capman, David Crowe, Ann Impullitti Degree and Major Requirements Students may choose one of the following degree options: Bachelor of Arts in biology, Bachelor of Science in biology, or Bachelor of Arts in life sciences.

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.

These programs lead to recommendation for licensure to the State of Minnesota for: • • • • • Elementary (grades K-6); Secondary—grades 5-12 in communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, and social studies; grades 9-12 in life science, chemistry, and physics; K-12 licenses in visual arts, physical education, music, English as a Second Language (ESL) and the NEW special education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS) license. (Note the ESL and ABS programs are available in weekday evening program only*) General Science (5-8) initial license Optional endorsements for a K-6 elementary license include preprimary (ages 3-5), mathematics (grades 5-8), general science (grades 5-8), social studies (grades 5-8), or communication arts/literature (grades 5-8). Program availability Degree and/or licensure programs are available in both the Day and AU (weekday evening*) programs. Augsburg Undergraduate (AU) degree and licensure programs are limited to elementary, secondary communication arts/literature and social studies, and K-12 visual arts, ESL and ABS. Additional licensure programs are available through the Day program and open to AU students who can take courses on a weekday schedule. All prerequisite courses, elementary core courses, and professional education courses are available on a weekday evening schedule*. P-12 field service requirements associated with courses and student teaching must be completed during regular P-12 school hours. All students must have some time available each term for field service in P-12 educational settings. Graduate Master of Arts in Education A graduate level licensure option is available in the AU* program to those already holding a BA/BS degree. Graduate courses taken for licensure can be applied to a Master of Arts degree in Education (MAE). Licensure only Students who have completed a BA/BS degree may complete a licensure only program within the day or AU* undergraduate program. Contact the Education Department or the Office of Admissions for information. Program Overview Students in all degree and/or licensure programs must apply for acceptance into the Education Department prior to beginning most 300-400 level courses. (EDC 310 may be taken prior to admission). All students are required to take the Minnesota Teacher License Exam (MTLE) in basic skills—reading, writing, and mathematics—prior to admission to the department and must pass the MTLE basics skills tests before student teaching. 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. State law requires passing appropriate exams (MTLE, 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. 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. 119 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.

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. 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. 129 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 www.augsburg.edu/catalog/. 130 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 Women’s Studies. This concentration requires nine courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 including: ENL 220 - Intermediate Expository Writing or ENL 221 - Intermediate Expository Writing About the Arts 131 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.

Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure Major The Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure concentration 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 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 112- Contest Public Speaking COM 243 - Studio Production COM 254 - Interpersonal Communication COM 351 - Argumentation 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.

In addition to consulting your designated ENL advisor, contact an Education Department advisor for information about education courses. 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. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. 133 The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill is met by completing the following courses: Concentrations in English Literature, Language, and Theory and in Creative Writing: QR/QFA: GST 200 or PHY 119; or QF: one of CHM 115, CHM 116, HON 220, MAT 114, MAT 129, MAT 137, MAT 138, MAT 145, MAT 146, MAT 163, MAT 173, or PHY 116; and completion of QA: ENL 327 Communication Arts/Literature Teacher Licensure: QR:--QF: one of CHM 115, CHM 116, HON 220, MAT 114, MAT 129, MAT 137, MAT 138, MAT 145, MAT 146, MAT 163, MAT 173, or PHY 116; and completion of: QA: Please see department for QA requirement. 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. Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold his/her place in the course. 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. 134 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, 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.

Goals of the department are to provide quality experiences, preparation for the professions, and an education that leads to lifelong participation in physical activity. Recreational participants as well as student athletes will find ample opportunity for developmental activities. The Physical Education program prepares students for careers in physical education endeavors in the schools and in allied professions. It also provides general education in physical activity for all Augsburg students. The Health Education program prepares students for careers in school health education, wellness, and allied professions. This program offers a comprehensive view that examines prevention and promotion needs for individuals, schools, and the community. The Exercise Science program prepares students with practical application of the knowledge needed to become a health fitness or community health professional. Interested students will also be prepared to move on to graduate or professional school in allied health fitness professions. All students seeking teaching licensure must receive a minimum grade of 2.0 in all required courses with an HPE prefix.

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. Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT) graduation skill is embedded throughout the offered courses and is met by completing the major. Speaking (S) and Writing (W) skills are also developed throughout the major, but are given special emphasis in the following courses (both required for majors): S: HIS 480 W: HIS 280 and HIS 480 The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill may be fulfilled by taking HIS 369, GST 200, MAT 145, MAT 146, or PHI 230. Teaching Licensure 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. Minor Five courses, at least three of which must be upper division. Departmental Honors 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 four credits) to be defended before a faculty committee. Medieval Studies The History Department also hosts the major in Medieval Studies. For more information, refer to Medieval Studies in this catalog. 143 Other Requirements First-year students should enroll in one or more 100-level courses. 200-level courses are normally reserved for sophomore or upper division students. 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. 144 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 Robert C. Groven, 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 requirement. Scholars Program participants are not required to take HON340: Junior Colloquium, but may if they so choose. 145 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. 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 146 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, 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 five-college 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.

For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 158 Mathematics Mathematics is the study of structure and relationships and provides tools for solving a wide variety of problems. Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education. Students majoring in Mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, Mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason abstractly; to conjecture, critique, and justify their assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended problems; to read and comprehend precise mathematical writing; to speak and write about mathematical ideas; and to experience working in teams on mathematical projects. Students can prepare for graduate school, for work in business, industry, or 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 Phillip C. Adamo (History, Program Director), Kristin M. Anderson (Art), Mark L. Fuehrer (Philosophy), Douglas E. Green (English), Martha B. Johnson (Theater Arts), Michael Kidd (Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies), Merilee Klemp (Music), Philip A. Quanbeck II (Religion), Martha E. Stortz (Religion), Mark D.

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. 164 Metro-Urban Studies Metro-Urban Studies is the study of cities as social, political, economic, and cultural entities. Metro-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 both opportunities and challenges. The major is designed to 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 Metro-Urban Studies program emphasizes the theme of planning metro areas to be more environmentally sustainable and promotes 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 their 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: 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).

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).

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. 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.

The curriculum treats Norden (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) not only as a geographical area, but as an integrated cultural region with a shared history, common values, and a high degree of political, social, and economic interdependency. Courses in Nordic area studies postulate a Nordic regional identity as a context in which to appreciate the differences between the five individual countries and to understand the complexity of their interactions among themselves and the global community. Coordinator: Frankie Shackelford Nordic Area Studies Major Eight courses, six of which must be upper division - by approval of program director. Nordic Area Studies Minor Four upper division courses - by approval of program director. Other Requirements At least four of the courses required for the major must be Augsburg courses. The remainder may be transfer credits included in the major with approval of the program coordinator. Students graduating with a major or minor must also present the equivalent of intermediate level competence in a Scandinavian language. Recommended supporting preparation: Study abroad through International Partners or HECUA (See International Programs, International Partners, and Scandinavian Urban Studies Term); independent study in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, or Iceland; and elective courses or a second major such as Norwegian, History, Political Science, Urban Studies, Business Administration, International Relations, Sociology, or Social Work. Graduation Skills The Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major. The graduation skill in Quantitative Reasoning (QR) is met by completing one of the following courses: QR: GST 200, MAT 145, MAT 146, or PHI 230. Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of these skills. For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search. 178 Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Completion The Augsburg College BSN Completion program is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to advance their education, increase their career opportunities, and address changing health needs in a variety of rapidly changing care settings. No longer do nurses practice only in hospitals, they are moving into communities, corporations, parishes, schools, rehab 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, community assessment, leadership, and decision-making. Classes that combine shortterm 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. Nursing Faculty Joyce Miller (Chair), Cheryl Leuning, Pauline Abraham (Director, BSN program in Rochester), Marty Aleman, Katherine Baumgartner (Director, BSN program in Minneapolis/St. Paul), Kathleen Clark (Director, Augsburg Central Health Commons and the Health Commons at Cedar Riverside), Virginia McCarthy, Kaija Freborg 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. 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, two courses per semester; however, students may pursue their studies at a slower and more flexible pace. Courses in the Nursing major are generally offered on weekday evenings with practicum courses (NUR 410 and 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 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 179 non-nursing courses in both the Day and WEC program. 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 the 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 to be fully admitted to the program. 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 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. 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 at Augsburg are available weekday evenings. Generally, nursing classes meet on alternate weekday evenings for four-hour time blocks. Online instruction and activities occur between face-to-face class times. Clinical practicum requirements usually occur on weekdays for selected courses. 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 to develop a plan of study when to take the liberal arts courses. Nursing majors can complete courses toward the bachelor’s degree at the Minneapolis and at the Rochester campuses. 180 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 in the City or in Oaxaca, Mexico (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 in the City or in Guatemala (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. 181 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 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. 182 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. 183 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.

Political science focuses on the role of power and authority in human affairs, an understanding necessary to know how to effect change. Augsburg Political Science students have the benefit of experienced faculty who 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 range of phenomena, including elections, wars, poverty, human rights, regime change, and migration. 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, students relate insights from other disciplines, such as Philosophy, Psychology, Economics, History, and Sociology, to the study of politics. Covering several subfields of political science, the major supplies the breadth appropriate for graduate work in political science, public administration, public policy, 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 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. Faculty Andrew Aoki (Chair), Sarah Combellick-Bidney, Milda Hedblom, Elizabeth Klages, Norma Noonan (emerita), Joseph Underhill Degree and Major Requirements A 2.0 minimum grade is required in all courses taken for the major.

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.

Emphasis is placed on developing knowledge and skills related to both the science and practice of psychology. Experiential learning opportunities include collaborating on faculty-student research projects and completing an internship in a real-world mental health setting. See the department chair for specific 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 the 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. The intent of the Social Psychology concentration is to provide 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.

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, 200, or 300. 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 Russell Kleckley (Chair), Lori Brandt Hale, Mary Lowe, Matthew Maruggi, Jeremy Myers, Philip Quanbeck II, Beverly Stratton, 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 (or 300 for advanced transfer students) is 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. 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 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. 196 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 Course Sequence Social Work Entry Level Courses, SWK 280, and SWK 240 elective 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. A special elective course SWK 240: Intergroup Dialogue is offered for students who want a more direct learning experience in human diversity. 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. 203 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 Human Society 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 - Sociology of Organizations SOC 375 - Social Psychology SOC 377 - Organizational Crime and Deviance SOC 380 - Disaster and Resilience SOC 381 - City and Regional Planning SOC 387 - Juvenile Delinquency 204 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.

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 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.

All THP Theater practicum courses are taken for noncredit with pass/no credit grading. Evaluation by the faculty mentor will be based on: 1) successful and timely completion of practicum area for which student is registered; 2) positive and professional attitude and work ethic demonstrated by the student; and 3) demonstrated competency in practicum area. The positive evaluation of each of the areas must be sufficient enough to lead to a minimum grade of 2.0 in order to receive a P grade. THP courses require: • • • • • Consent and signature of instructor Supervision by theater faculty A minimum of 25 hours of assessed participation by the student Registration for THP course for semester when practicum is completed Registration for practicum before deadline dates set by the Registrar’s Office Please note: • • • • • • • All majors will complete at least one THP 123 unit in costumes.
