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
a£fords but also for the development of a more sympathetic

welfare of humanity.
To stirnd.de intellectuul iderest and dewelup schhzrly insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy

~ 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

STUDENT COMMUNITY LIFE
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 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.

HOUSINGFOR WOMEN
The college operates a cottage plan of supervised residences for
women, pending the building of the planned additions to Sivertsen
Hall.

attempt is made to assign the rooms so as to meet the student
interests and needs, and to create congenial housing units.
Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939 through the generosity of Dr.
Ivar Sivertsen, accommodates about fifty Freshman women students. The first floor has a large reception room used for social
functions. In the basement are a kitchenette and a recreation room.
Applications for rooms should be sent as soon as a student is
notified of his acceptance. Applicants will be assigned to dormitory
rooms in the order in which their applications are received.
Rooms are assigned to present occupants of the dormitories by
August first. After that, they are assigned to new applicants in
the order of application.
Students who cannot be accommodated in permanent dormitories may find rooms in temporary housing units. Rooms in approved private homes are also available. Arrangements for these
rooms are made through the Personnel Office.
For married students, the college has two temporary housing
buildings, each accommodating four families.
FOOD SERVICE

cost to student groups, for special parties or picnics.
The program of health service is in charge of the Director of
Physical Education and Recreation, who is assisted by the School
Physician and the School Nurse. It includes regular physical examinations, corrective measures where needed, and a school-wide
program of recreation and physical training. Infirmary Rooms are
provided for the use of those who are ill. The ogce is in Room I I I,
Memorial Hall.
Students, faculty, and staff have chest X-rays taken semi-annually through the cooperation of the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association Mobile Unit. The service is free.
A large number of college students find it necessary to secure
part-time employment while carrying on their studies. The Employment Service, operated by the Oflice of Public Relations, has
been successful in placing hundreds of men and women students
in part-time positions. Many Minneapolis institutions and firms
have gladly cooperated in this enterprise. The types of work secured are of many kinds, including recreational leadership, restaurant work, domestic service, sales work, and secretarial and
clerical work.
Students are employed by the college in many activities. For
these positions preference is given to upper-class students who
have maintained a good scholastic average.
AppIication forms for part-time employment on or off campus
may be secured from the Oflice of Public Relations.
The Placement Bureau seeks to assist members of the graduating
class, as well as alumni, in securing positions. A registration fee
and a small placement fee are charged.

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.

CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT
The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory,
and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need
to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible
but very real supplementary iQuences have much t o do with
creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg d e h i t e emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of
Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious
attention to this personal and spiritual side of their development
and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy
Christian atmosphere on the campus.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerf d y fostered in each life.
All students are required to register for two class hours per week
in one of the courses offered in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are encouraged to
participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is
assumed that every Augsburg student will h d a church home
in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly.
I t is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence, both on and 06 campus, shall be worthy of a member of a
Christian College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality
of life and to the fellowship in which it is nourished should not
seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and
environment must be the product of the united effort and prayer
of faculty, students, and administration.
THE CHAPEL SERVICE
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the
daily Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gatfier for
united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of
God. Regular attendance is expected of all students.
DISCIPLINE
The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public
dances, indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable
card playing. Students enrolled at Augsburg are expected, therefore, not to participate in such practices.
Augsburg reserves the right to dismiss or to discipline any student who is not amenable to advice and direction. The school likewise reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed
although no formal charge is made against him.
CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique
opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and
cultural advantages offered in the Upper Midwest. Excellent
art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of
Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are
large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in
St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. The
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs and other concerts
afford rich opportunity for music appreciation.
In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota
and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stimulus and development.
CONVOCATION

the year. These programs aim to acquaint the campus community
with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A
wide range of interests is covered, including the scientiiic, political,
social, religious, and artistic.
RECREATION AND SOCIAL LIFE
"No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the
right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. At Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not
only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and
directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards
the use of leisure time in general. Wholesale social activities of of
many kinds are fostered and encouraged.

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.

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. Students who wish to
take a comprehensive examination must apply in writing to this
committee. When permission is granted, the necessary approval
forms may be secured at the oilice of the Registrar. A fee of $5.00
is charged for each examination and must be paid in advance.
Examination questions and the answers will be filed in the Registrar's oilice.

Department of Psychology and Education
Courses i n orientation are offered to freshmen as a part of the total program
designed to m i s t in the adjustments that the incoming student needs to make.
The work in psychology is designed to aid the student in more adequately understanding, predicting, and controlling his own behavior as well as that ob ht
fellowmen. The education curriculum has been designed primarily for those
preparing to do high school teaching, although any student who is preparing
to work with youth is encouraged to study in this area. The work in this department will qualify the teaching graduate for a Minnesota Teacher's c e d cate on the junior and senior high school level, as well as for further study in
the field of education.
Admission to the teacher education curriculum requires an application to be
approved 'by the Committee on Teacher Education. Application must be made

minimum in scholastic achievement of a 1.5 honor point ratio in the major, a
1.0 ratio in the minor, and a 1.0 ratio for the over-all average. The applicant
should be preparing for competency in at least two subject-matter fields that are
also taught on ,the high school level.
AS1 students admitted to the teacher education curriculum m w t secure two

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.”

several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg University and an Augsburg education, welcome. I believe

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.

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.
Information about the Rochester site is available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office at
507-288-2886.

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

Admission
Augsburg University strives to create a strong, rich, and vibrant campus community with students representing a large
number of backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, talents, and cultures. Selection of students for Augsburg University is
based upon careful consideration of each candidate’s academic achievement, personal qualities and interests,

Financing
The Board of Regents approves the costs for the academic year. 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.

Payments
Semester Charges
Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits
designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online
through AugNet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/header-make-paymentaccount-activity/payments. 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.

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. 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:

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 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.
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.

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
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.

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

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.
TRIO Programs
TRIO programs are funded by the US Department of Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg
University. TRIO Programs seek to help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher
education. They help students prepare for college, adjust to college life, persist in college, and maintain good academic
standing to graduate with a bachelor’s degree, as well as assist with preparation for graduate school.
34
TRIO/Student Support Services

called by God to use their individual gifts to serve the neighbor. The Christensen Center for Vocation works with
students, faculty, and staff to explore how each person’s contributions can be uniquely valuable and how we might best
live in freedom and responsibility for the sake of the world. The commitment to keep this understanding of vocation
central to Augsburg’s mission is carried out by embedding the exploration of vocation in the curriculum as well as
through the Christensen Scholars program, internship and service opportunities, short term projects and public lectures.
The Christensen Center for Vocation also works to deepen and extend Augsburg’s commitment to interfaith
engagement. That commitment includes an Interfaith Scholars program, creating a campus culture in which people of
diverse religious traditions have welcoming sacred spaces, convening conversations that respect and explore our
differences while also engaging together in acts of service, peacemaking and working for justice. The Christensen Center
for Vocation is committed to working with churches, diverse religious communities, nonprofit organizations and other
schools of higher education as we live out Augsburg’s commitment to educate students to be informed citizens,
thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers and responsible leaders.
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.

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.

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

government, the private sector, nonprofits, labor unions, and schools, and other community institutions working to
address poverty and economic, political, and social inequality.

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:

*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:

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.

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

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

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

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 University 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 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.

Art
Art is essential. 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.

Biology
From transgenic crops to emerging diseases to being a member of the human species, biology affects – literally – every
part of your life. 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.

Graduation Skills
Graduation skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the
offered courses and are met by completing the major. The graduation skill in Speaking (S) is met by completing COM 115
(preferred) or COM 111 or HON 130.
Transfer students must consult an advisor 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 department, subject to review by the
chair. 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.
Beta Beta Beta
Membership in the Augsburg chapter of this national biology honor society is open to students who have completed at
least three semester courses in Biology, including at least one 200-level or higher biology course at Augsburg University.
Students must have a GPA of 3.0 in biology.

Biopsychology
The biopsychology major is designed to offer students an integrative perspective on the biological basis of behavior.
Towards this end, students will take courses in both psychology and biology to gain exposure to a broad range of
theories and research covering a variety of topics such as cognition, motor control, sensation/perception, emotion, and
psychopathology. These topics will be studied at multiple levels of analysis including genetic, neural, and environmental.
The biopsychology major will provide students with a strong foundation of courses in neuroscience, statistics, and
chemistry. This broad training can help prepare students for careers in research, medicine, public health, education, and
pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries.

Accounting
Accountants perform an important function in society by providing high-quality financial information. Augsburg
Accounting majors learn the requisite skills to do this through the study of theories and practices associated with the
areas of financial accounting, managerial accounting, tax accounting, and auditing. In addition, Accounting majors take
courses in other business areas necessary so that they have a broad understanding of how accounting serves the needs
of business managers and others who rely on accounting information.
Students completing the Accounting major will be prepared for entry-level positions as auditors and public accountants,
management accountants, tax accountants, and internal auditors. Their education will give them knowledge and skills to
work as accountants in business, government, and nonprofit organizations and to work in other positions requiring
engagement with financial information.
The Augsburg Accounting major also provides students with the accounting and business coursework required to take
the Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. Students can sit for the CPA exam after they have completed their
Bachelor of Arts in Accounting. Students should note, however, that in order to be licensed as a CPA they must have
completed a total of 150 credit hours in either undergraduate or graduate coursework and have one year of relevant
work experience in auditing or taxation. Students will also have met the coursework requirements to take the Certified
Management Accountant (CMA) exam.
Accounting majors are encouraged to consider taking one of the professional accounting examinations upon graduation.

Chemistry
Chemistry is the science that examines and works toward understanding matter and 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 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.

The Culture and Social Justice minor is an interdisciplinary program committed to engaging students with the histories,
struggles, knowledge, and agency of marginalized groups throughout our global society. Drawing on the diversity of
current and past voices from the Augsburg neighborhood, the minor connects local and national efforts to larger global
struggles for justice. The program explores the interplay of experiences that form and reform the current landscapes of
globalization, including Indigenous origins, diaspora, immigration, the impact of colonialism, postcolonialism, and
neocolonialism, cross-cultural and multicultural integration, and cultural thrivance. The interdisciplinary character of this
minor helps students develop professional skills for working across cultures and disciplinary audiences, enhances writing
and speaking skills for multicultural audiences, and provides preparation for the increasingly diverse and globalized
marketplace.

Economics
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: 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.

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, 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 licensure program prior to
beginning most 300-400 level courses. (EDC 310 may be taken prior to admission). All students are required to meet the
statutory requirements for a skills exam in reading, writing and math. The Minnesota Basic Skills requirement may be
met by providing passing scores on one of the three test batteries (NES, SAT, or ACT Plus Writing). Additional criteria for
acceptance into the Education Department are available through the department website. Students complete a
semester of full-time student teaching at the conclusion of their degree and/or licensure. Students must complete the
EdTPA during their student teaching semester. State law requires passing appropriate exams (basic skills, pedagogy, and
content exams) prior to recommendation for licensure. Students who entered Augsburg University 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.
131
Student Teaching Abroad
Selected Education Department students may participate in an international student teaching program. Those interested
in further information should contact the Education Department at least one year prior to student teaching. Students
who teach abroad will do part of their student teaching in the Twin Cities area under direct Augsburg faculty
supervision. In addition to gaining Education Department approval for student teaching abroad, students must apply
through the Study Abroad and Study Away Office in the Center for Global Education and Experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.
For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.
145
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 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.

Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies
The Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies program provides students with the opportunity to examine critically
women’s contributions and experiences in various historical and cultural contexts. This is an inter-college program with
course offerings at Augsburg 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.

History
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.

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.

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.
