In fact, Augsburg College provides students with an education in a real world. The diversity of the faculty, staff, and student body, the structure of the curriculum, and the academic environment mirror the complexity of life in contemporary society. The college's location in and involvement with a metropolitan setting offer continuous access to cultural opportunities, career experiences, and social realities that enrich students' educations. Augsburg's commitment to the liberal arts recognizes that the reality in which contemporary persons live and the persons themselves have been shaped by the tradition and history from which they come. The real world was not made this moming, and it is not simple. Only a broad education can present our world a s it is and give persons the ability to deal with it. Similarly, Augsburg College's continuing dedication to its heritage as a college of the church affirms a belief that the world is the creation of a loving God and that human persons are inescapably spiritual beings. T h e C o l l e g e Mission Statement These qualities of an Augsburg education flow from its mission statement which declares that the college exists to provide high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian church and by the context of a great metropolitan center. Augsburg's location in the heart of the city represents the loom on which the multi-colored fabric of its identity has been woven. While students are prepared to take a place in and make a contribution to the world in which they live, they are educated to be critical of the quality of life in their society and to be reflective of their own values as they respond to it. ". ..based in the liberal arts " The academic program emphasizes the continuing validity of the liberal arts a s a foundation for developing the life of the mind. Augsburg College's faculty are dedicated to challenging their students to achieve the highest academic standards while supporting them in that endeavor with excellent teaching and individual attention. Students are expected to develop their abilities in critical thinking and communication and to gain sensitivity to and appreciation for their own and other cultures. Each student is encouraged to contemplate the eternal philosophical and spiritual questions of human life and of personal values and ethics. At Augsburg the great scholars, thinkers, writers, and artists of the past and present are studied and valued. Augsburg College considers an understanding of the content and method of science, a recognition of the place of technology, and an understanding of ways to maintain a sound body as important elements of a complete education. This insistence on the breadth of a traditional liberal arts education reflects a firm belief that human beings are more than their ability to perform a job. It reflects further a concerted attempt to direct students toward a full development of the many facets and capacities of the educated person. ". .. .. shaped. by the context o f a great metropolitan center" Yet, bounded as it is by an interstate freeway and the center of a vital city, Augsburg College is no ivory tower escape from the real world. The college community continually interacts with the city by attending cultural events and civic activities and by inviting city residents and visitors to the campus as lecturers, performers, and mentors. The city becomes a laboratory for experiential learning through internships, professional program field experiences, and cooperative education placements. ". ..and shaped by faith and values." This involvement with the real world is a reflection of Augsburg's spiritual heritage which values all that God has created. While its tradition supports intellectual freedom in the search for truth, the college affirms its belief that all students should reflect upon their ethical and spiritual values a s part of becoming educated. Students are encouraged through religion courses and through opportunities on campus for the practice and examination of spirituality to consider their relationship to others, to society, and to the world. Traditionally Augsburg College has insisted that an aspect of these relationships is contained in the motto: "Mucation for Service." In these words the college expresses a belief that, whatever career they pursue, graduates should consider the duty of citizens to contribute to the common good through service to others. \N ithin the larger community of the city and the world, Augsburg College is its own community. It is a community of support and collegiality composed of persons of diverse talents: of varied ethnic, national, cultural, and religious backgrounds: and of complementary interests and orientations. Through a competent, committed faculty and a dedicated staff, Augsburg College builds with its students a real world in which the whole person can be educated and developed. Augsburg College History A College o f the Church Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530.Augsburg opened in September 1869,in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872.The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first college graduation was in 1879. Early Leaders Establish a Direction August Weenaas was Augsburg's first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway - Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian Lutherans to minister to immigrants: and to provide such "college" studies that would prepare students for theological study. In 1874 they proposed a three part plan: first - train ministerial candidates, second - prepare future theological students and third - educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical. Augsburg's next two presidents also emphatically rqjected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to church and community has been Augsburg's theme for over one hundred years. Education for Service Keeping the vision of the "non-elitist" college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg's second president (1876-1907),required students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early expression to the concept of Augsburg's motto "Education for Service." In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity.This change made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. But the college division was still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary. The F o c u s C h a n g e s This attitude began to change alter World War I. In 1911Georg Sverdrup Jr. became President. He worked to develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers. Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of Gerda Mortensen, Dean of Women. She spent the next 52 years at the college as a teacher and administrator. The college's mission assumed a double character ministerial preparation together with a more general education for life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bemhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (1938-1962).His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life. After World War 11, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the college was a larger part of the institution than the seminary, and received the most attention. - Accreditation for the College Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general education requirements and elective mqjors. With cumculum change came a long effort to become accredited. The college reached full accreditation in 1954, although many alumni had entered graduate schools and teaching positions long before that time. A study in 1962 defined the college's mission now as serving the good society as a whole first, and the interests of the Lutheran Free Church second. The Seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Northwestern Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963. A College in the City President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980) continued Augsburg's emphasis on involvement with the city, He wanted to reach out to non-traditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity for all people. During his years of leadership the college became a vital and integral part of the city. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Tower, Urness Tower, the College Center, Ice Arena and Psychology Building. Since 1980Augsburg has been led by Charles S. Anderson. He has continued Augsburg's commitment to the value of a liberal arts education, emphasizing diversity in enrollment efforts, spiritual growth and freedom and an academic program that draws on the resources of the city a s extensions of the campus and classroom. Serving the Non-traditional Student Augsburg's American Indian Program is recognized as successful. The program has had the highest retention rate of Indian students in Minnesota -some 85 percent. The Black Student Affairs Program, initiated in 1969,has had a growing number of students and supports a Black Student Union and a newspaper distributed by the office. The campus is accessible to the physically handicapped with a skywaytunnel-elevator system connecting nine major buildings. In only its second year, Augsburg's program for the learning disabled had 30 students enrolled. The program received a state award for excellence. Weekend College, started in 1982with 69students, had an enrollment of nearly 500 in fall 1985.Through Weekend College, adult students can work fulltime and pursue a bachelor's degree that has a practical focus on a liberal arts base. These programs bring working adults to the campus. They're complemented by the new Cooperative Education Program (begun in 1984) that sends Augsburg students into the workplace. The Co-op Education Program helps students get career experience in addition to their classroom studies. Augsburg Today Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed: Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church: education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative and successful citizens: the city with all its excitement, challenges and diversity, is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg students. Augsburg is a quality liberal arts institution set in the heart of a great metropolitan center. There are now more than 11,000Augsburg alumni. In a world that has changed much since those first days of the college, Augsburg still sends out graduates who make a difference where they live and work.

Students who properly withdraw, change to part-time, are dismissed, or are released Porn a housing contract will have their accounts adjusted for tuition and room (except for the minimum deduction of $100.00 to cover administrative costs) according to the following schedule: 100°/~- through the first five days of classes (less $100.00 administrativefee). 90% - from the sixth through 10th day of classes. 80% - from the 11th through 15th day of classes. 70% - from the 16th through 20th day of classes. 60% - from the 21st through 25th day of classes. 50% - from the 26th day of classes through the mid-point of the term. No refund will be made after the middle class day of the term. Board refunds are made on a proportionate basis. If a student is forced to withdraw due to illness or accident, the refund will include the normal percentage plus one-half of the percentage adjustment, upon submission of a report from the attending doctor stating the inability or inadvisability of continued enrollment. Students who elect to omit an interim or to graduate in December are not entitled to a refund of interim tuition, room, and board charges. Students who participate in an approved off-campus interim are eligible to apply for a board refund and room sub-lease. Details and request forms are available in the Office of Student Life. All refunds of charges will be applied to the account of the student and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines and deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund is determined. Financial Aid Financing higher education could be the most significant investment a person or family makes in a lifetime. So, proper planning and wise choices are important, not only in choosing a college, but also in the methods used to pay for it. Augsburg College, through its Office of Student Financial Services, will help students and their families with both monetary and advisory assistance to protect access to a quality education in spite of increasing costs. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg is a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work opportunities. The College cooperates with Federal, State, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. For the academic year 1984-85 approximately 85% of all students at Augsburg received scholarships, grants, loans and part-time employment totalling over $6,200,000 from all aid sources. The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid is intended to supplement student and family resources. The Family Financial Statement (FFS) of the Amerlcan ~ o l l & eTesting Program (ACT) or the Financial Aid Porn (FAF) of the College Scholarship Service (CSS) helps determine the amount or assistance for which a student is eligible. This analysis estimates the amount a student and family can be expected to provide for college expenses, taking into account such family financial factors a s current income, assets, number of dependents, other educational expenses, debts, retirement needs, and special considerations. How and W h e n to Apply New Students -Regular Admission 1. Apply for admission to Augsburg College. No financial aid notification is made until the student has applied and been accepted for ad- mission. 2. Obtain the Family Financial Statement (FFS) or Financial Aid form (FAF) from a high school or college financial aid office. Complete the application and send it to the processing agency after January 1 but before March 15for priority consideration. Minnesota residents must complete the FFS which includes the application for the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. Augsburg's code on the FFS is 2080. For non-Minnesota residents using the FAF, Augsburg's code is 6014. 3. Within three to four weeks, Augsburg will receive the analysis. If a t that time you are accepted for admission, the Financial Aid Committee will meet and review your eligibility for all the programs available. A letter will be sent to you detailing your financial aid package. 4. Acceptance of this financial aid package is required within the deadline stated. If necessary, the appropriate loan forms and/or work applications will then be sent to you. 5. Transfer students must submit a financial aid transcript from each college previously attended before financial aid will be offered. New Students - Early Decision This is for students who select Augsburg a s their primary college choice. An Early Decision Candidate must apply by November 15of the senior year and will receive the admission decision about December 1. 1. Early Decision Candidates applying fur financial aid may wish to complete the Early Decision PinancIal Aid Appljcatlon, available by writing or ca lllng t h e Admissions OWce. This enables our Financial Aid Office to colnpute a preliminary award before the Family Financial Statement is filed. Candidates will be notified of their award by January 1. 2. For confirmation of the financial aid award package, with any nec- essary revision, the FFS (or FAF for non-Minnesota residents) must be completed after January 1. Returning Stadenha Eligibility for assistance must be re-established each academic year by filing the application and Family Financial Statement (FFS).Renewal is based on financial eligibility, satisfactory academic progress, and fund availability. K i n d s of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in gen- eral rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). The various forms of aid available are listed here for information only. In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships, grants, and loans that might be available in their own communities. It could be 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 meeting their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid through Vocational Rehabilitation, Education Assistance for Veterans, Educational Assistance For Veterans' Children, and others.

E xperiences in the classroom are an important part of collene life, but learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the college and the metropolitan area. Whether students are residents or commuters, the climate for learning and living at Augsburg will add dimension to their education. Campus Ministry a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual, a s well as As academicand social growth. Our concern for spiritual growth is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Since our campus is comprised of individuals from many different religious and cultural backgrounds, our worship life is characterized by a similar diversity and richness of tradition. Bible studies, fellowship groups, outreach teams, planning committees, retreats, Peace and Justice forums, Hunger conferences, concerts, plays and movies are examples of the wide variety of activities on campus. This ministry finds its most visible expression in chapel worship where students, faculty and staff gather each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to give thanks and hear the Gospel proclaimed by a number of speakers and musicians. Each Wednesday night students gather for Holy Communion. We seek to develop a free and open environment where people are encouraged to use and discover the gifts that God has given them. A s a college of the church, we encourage students to form their own values which will be the basis for the kind and quality of life that reaches beyond one's years at Augsburg. The College Pastor has an ofice in the College Center to be readily available for counseling, consultation, support or information. Student Government Through student government students secure a closer relationship with and better understanding of the administration and faculty, and provide input into the decision-making process at Augsburg. Student government also sponsors and directs student activities, protects student rights, and provides the means for discussions and action on all issues pertaining to student life at Augsburg. Student government is organized into the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. Elections are held in the spring for the next year. Freshmen elect their representatives in the fall of their first year. Many kinds of involvement are possible - program planning, writing, editing or service opportunities. If you want to get involved, contact the President or Vice President of the Student Body in their offices in the College Center. Social, Cultural, Recreational Throughout the year, a variety of social and cultural activities takes place on campus as well a s in the Twin Cities. These activities include dances, special dinners, name entertainment, and visiting personalities in various fields. The College Center is the focus of lesiure-time activity on campus. Offices for the College newspaper, the Augsburg Echo, and the yearbook, the Augsburglan, are on the lower level. Many of the clubs that unite classroom or non-classroom related interests meet in the Center. KCMR, a student-operated non-profitradio station serving the needs of Augsburg and the surrounding Cedar-Riverside community, is located in the Mortensen Tower. Fine Arts Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city, the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the theatre arts department. Intercollegiate Athletics Augsburg is affiliated with Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division 111. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, hockey, wrestling, baseball, track, and golf. Women annually compete in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, track & field, and softball. Intramurals Every student is urged to participate in some activity for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides competition in a variety of team sports as well a s individual performance activities. Broomball has been an especially popular coed sport. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the gymnasium and ice arena. Student Activities A variety of interests is served by groups and clubs and by events spon- sored by the student government. If you need information or wish t o initiate a new group or activity, contact the Student Activities Director. Student Services ~ u ~ i b college u r ~ doncerned with educating the whole person and - is recognizes t h a t t h e environment for learning is a critical factor in achieving growth. Knowledge grows from more than intellectual endeavors. Expanding relationships, exploring values, identifying life styles, developing autonomy and interdependence, finding purpose and commitment - all combine with intellectual content and skills to produce the educational impact of the college on its students. The Division of Student Affairs supports this task. During the summer before your freshman year, or a t the time of transfer, you will receive a copy ofAugsburg Guide. This book will help you assess the possibilities in your education, choices to make, directions to consider and different destinations for which to plan. Augsburg Guide was designed t o act a s a sort of road map. Center for Student Development The Center for Student Development provides a variety of services t o help make yourjourney rich and meaningful. Some of the opportunities are listed below. Summer Orientation. Students can plan their first academic year and pre-register for classes. Students and their parents get acquainted with classmates, faculty, and staff as well as with the campus. They stay in the dormitory, attend events in the met: ropolitan area and seek answers to many questions about college life. Career Planning and Placement. Students may be uncertain about where they want to be whenthey finish their undergraduate experience, whether their life style will be a balanced one, or how work will provide opportunity for service and fulfillment. Augsburg has a four-year career development plan to help with a personal assessment, explore possibilities, test realities, and prepare for entry into the next phase of life. All new students will have a chance to review their interests with a counselor. Job Service. Augsburg College maintains a referral service in the Placement Office, Center for Student Development, to help students find part-time, temporaty, and summer employment off campus. Job Service initiates contact with employers in the area and the State Employment Service and acts as a clearinghouse to help match students and jobs. Human Development Seminars. A series of informal "mini-courses" is offered each year to help you grow in understanding of yourself and your relationship to others. Such topics as PEER (Positive Educational Experiences in Relationships),Choosing a Major, Issues in Men's and Women's Identity, Assertiveness, Job Seeking, and Sexuality are available. Information on current offerings and opportunity to register are provided several times during the year. Academic Enrichment. Students may want to improve their skills in such areas as reading, studying, note-taking, and testing by attending one or more of the workshops offered. Students also will have an opportunity to meet with a counselor to diagnose needs. If a particular course proves difficult, students can arrange for tutoring through the Center. Counseling and Guidance. Sometimes students find it difficult to cope with relationships or situations which they encounter during their college experience. Counselors are available to help students who are experiencing personal/interpersonal difficulties by providing individual and group counseling and a variety of personal growth groups. Learning Disabilities Program. A Learning Disabilities Specialist and trained peer counselors are available to LD students needing coursework assistance, as provided for by Section 504.

A separate brochure detailing services and fees is available through the Center for Student Development. Intercultural Center As a College in t h e city, committed t o t h e values and insights ofcultural diversity, Augsburg offers special advocacy a n d counseling for all minority students in close cooperation with administrators, faculty a n d community. At t h e present time t h e s e efforts concentrate in two major areas: American Indian Support Program. This program provides direct services and assistance in such areas as: recruitment and retention, admissions and financial aids procedures, orientation and registration, coursework selection and career counseling, tutoring, personal and crisis counseling, referrals and followup. The program provides advocacy in areas of health, child care, housing, and employment opportunities, with input into the implementation of American Indian courses and liaison with the Intertribal Student Union. Black Student Program. Augsburg offers a Black student program which provides career and personal counseling, administrative support, and assistance with the admissions process. Black History Month and the Black Student Union are student affairs programs emphasizing Black heritage and participation. The other facet of Augsburg's Intercultural Center focuses on students who are from or are interested in studying in other countries, and in planning activities and events to increase intercultural awareness of students, faculty and staff. Foreign Study. If students are interested in study abroad, they can consult the faculty member who serves as Director of lnternational Programs to check on the many opportunities available. International Students. Augsburg enjoys the academic and cultural participation of its students from countries outside the U.S. The Office of the International Student Adviser helps to orient and advise any student on a student visa, exchange program, or permanent resident status. The adviser handles information on immigration, work permits, and temporary status and arranges an American host for international students. See Augsburg Guide for information about the Cross-Cultural Club. Health Service The staff of Smiley's Point Clinic located on Riverside Avenue across the street from the campus will take care of students' health needs. Visits are free except for special testing or service, and prescriptions are available through the Fairview Pharmacy at cost. Students must check family health coverage to determine if they are included: if not, a student health insurance plan is available. Food Service The Commons,situated on the top floor of the College Center, is the main food serv- ice facility for students, faculty and staff. This pleasant room features small table units for easy conversation and overlooks the College Quadrangleand Murphy Square.The portions are generous and modestly priced. Students on board plan who live in residence halls eat their meals in the Commons. The Chinwag, located on the ground floor of the Center, features short orders and is open through the noon hour and in the evenings. Augsburg provides a variety of board plan options for those living in College houses or nearby apartments. Living on Campus Because Augsburg recognizes that a student's ability to respond to the learning environment depends, in part, upon his or her living conditions, a variety of housing alternatives is provided. The residence hall program promotes student growth by asking students to actively participate in group decision-making. Each residence unit has one or more Resident Staff who facilitate the process of group living and discuss personal concerns with individual students. Augsburg requires all freshmen and sophomores not living at home to live in college-operated housing. Married student housing is available in annex housing and South Hall. Students rent a room at the beginning of the fall term for the entire school year. New students receive room assignments the summer before they arrive a t Augsburg. Upperclass students make housing arrangements in the spring. All resident students must sign housing contracts. Freshmen and transfer students are urged to make the tuition deposit by June 1in order to secure housing. Students who deposit after June 1will be provided housing only if space is available. All students living on campus must pay an advance payment when they sign the housing contract. The fee is credited to the students' accounts when they move into the residence. All new freshmen and some upperclass students live in U r n e s s Tower. This eleven story high-rise houses 324. Each floor is considered a house unit providing 36 students (two to a room), with their own lounge, study and utility areas. Mortensen Tower, the newest residence hall, is an alternative to traditional residence hall living. It contains 104 one- and two-bedroom apartments to accommodate 312 upperclass students. South Hall contains 12 apartments housing 34 upperclass students. W e s t H a l l contains 12 one-bedroom apartments housing 24 upper- class students. A n n e x H o u s i n g provides an alternative opportunity for group living. Groups of upperclass men or women share living space, house responsibilities, and cooking. Houses are located in the campus area. One way to maximize the living and learning of your housing situation is to bid for a Special Interest House. Groups of students have created exciting projects by writing and implementing educational impact proposals on such t o ~ i c sa s Environmental Concerns, Men's and Women's Awareness, 'international Living, Honors Program, and Scandinavian Studies. Mortensen Tower is carpeted, air conditioned, and contains kitchen units. It is otherwise unfurnished. In other residence halls or houses, rooms are furnished except for bed linens, towels, blankets, bedspreads, and lamps. Laundry facilities are available in each residence. Student Riahts The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsiY bilities and has provided for due process in matters of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal. The Judicial Council is elected by students and faculty and serves to conduct hearings and review matters of concern. Any student who wishes to identify appropriate procedures for complaint should contact the Vice President for Student Affairs. The College operates in compliance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act and Title IX. Students have the right to inspect all official records, files and data which pertain to them and which are maintained in the Office of the Registrar and the P!acement Office and to challenge inaccurate or misleading information. Exceptions are parents' financial records and confidential letters and statements placed in the record before January 1,1975, or placed under conditions where students have signed a waiver of right of access. Students have the right to experience education free from discrimination based on sex, race, ethnic, or cultural background, handicap, creed, marital status or age. Persons seeking additional information on these topics should contact the Center for Student Development or the appropriate coordinator a s listed in the Communication Directory at the end of the catalog. Academic Information ',, 1 I . . . ' i!! A ugsburg College constructs its cumculum upon the premise that students must be educated as full human persons: intellectually, spiritually, and physically. To act effectively, human beings must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come as well a s the world in which they live. By providing courses in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, the general education cumculum introduces students to the breadth and complexity of knowledge and culture. Required courses in religion are designed to acquaint students with the Christian tradition and encourage them to reflect upon the importance and meaning of spirituality in their lives. Recreation courses offer students the opportunity to develop skills for participation in exercise and sporting activities. Students choose from over forty mqjor 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 cumcular activities supported by full programs in student life and religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world. General Information D e g r e e s Offered Augsburg offers the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Music, and the Bachelor of Science degrees.

Academic Calendar Augsburg follows the 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 1 4 weeks separated by a 4-week January Interim. Students normally take four courses each semester and one course during Interim. A maximum of three courses can be earned in the two annual summer sessions, one of four weeks and one of six weeks. The calendar is coordinated with those of the four other colleges of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, so students can take courses on another campus during the regular term.

The Interim catalog, published in the fall of each year, is distributed to all students and is available by contacting the Interim Office. In addition to classes offered on campus, Augsburg offers a variety of travel opportunities within the United States and abroad, Independent or directed study and internships are among the many Interim options. Augsburg Weekend College follows a trimester calendar (see Augsburg Weekend College). t. -+ - 4 II i' Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in research, including such varied studies a s space physics, the history of medieval spirituality, women in the Soviet Union, and homelessness in American cities.

Minneapolis, Mn. 55454 332-5181 Dr. Donald Custafson, Interim Director The Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. It is particularly intended to be a time providing opportunities for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning, to investigate particular questions and topics and to use urban and other off-campus resources in ways not possible during the regular term. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be interim courses (or one interim less than the number of years of full time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer student enrolled full time for two years is required t o complete one interim for graduation). A student may not receive credit for more than two interims in the student's major Also, only one interim course in religion may be applied to the three course requirement in religious studies. There are no tuition refunds for students who choose not t o enroll in an interim course. One course is considered a full time load during interim and no student is permitted t o register for more than one course during the period. (;RAI)IN(; AN]) COIJRSIE LISTI' INGS Most interim courses are graded traditionally on a scale of 4.0 to 0. Students generally have the option t o register on a Pass/No Credit basis. A few interim courses are graded only on the PIN system; this limitation is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and/or a more rigorous grading standard. OIBTIONS June Interim At least two interim courses will be offered in the June 1976 session of summer school. An Augsburg student may register in a June interim course in lieu of the January term with no additional tuition charge; however, students planning to elect the June interim must register at the time of interim registration in the fall. Students wishing to take the June interim in addition to the January one will be required to pay regular summer course tuition. Independent or Directed Study Students may elect a program of either independent study (upper division) or directed study (lower division) for the interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed study per interim. Students electing independent or directed study must: 1) meet departmental requirements 2) present at registration a written statement from the faculty member who will direct the study submit to the Interim director by December 1 a description of the intended study, (topic, procedure, end result, and form of evaluation). Students not submitting this information by December 1 will have their registration cancelled.

Catalogs of these interim offerings can be consulted in the Interim Center, Room 111 Memorial Hall. Registration for interims at the Twin City colleges and at St. Olaf will be done at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Students interested in attending any other institution during the interim should consult with the Interim Director or his secretary (Room 1 11, Memorial Hall). Non-Augsburg Students Augsburg College will accept students from other 4-1-4 schools for the January interim without tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees charged in addition t o tuition. Other students will be charged $310 for the interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write t o the Interim Director for appropriate application forms.

Picasso, Miro, Gaudi and Dali are modern examples of the Spanish artistic temperament nutured by centuries of "contradictoriety" via the country's great wealth and extreme deprivation. Although Spain appears to be untouched by Modernism, its artists have led revolutions in the arts. The purpose of this interim in Spain is also to investigate great art collections which are housed in and around Madrid, Burgos and Barcelona. Since Spanish art and architecture seem unaffected by the 20th Century Avant-Garde and the electronic revolution, this would be a chance to step out of our psychedelic cosmography into the perspective of the time in which the art of the Spanish past was created. Cost will be approximately $895.00. PIN grading. Prerequisite: Consent of Instructor; Register with Director of International Programs, Memorial Hall 125. Distribution: Humanities Scientific Racism Instructors: Johnny Bland, Roberta Lammers What is the biological definition o f race? What do biologists say about the evolution o f races? Is the biological concept o f race compatible with cultural and societal definitions? What is racism? We will be examining these questions along with the history o f the eugenics movement and the current controversies about race and IQ and about population control and food supply. Some o f the authors we will be reading critically are Charles Darwin, Francis Galton, Hans Eysenck, Arthur Jensen, Richard Hernstein, Ashley Montagu, Garrett Hardin, Stephen Rose, and Robert Williams. Prerequisites: Knowledge o f high school biology or equivalent Distribution: Science/Math, Urban Time: I1 Room: Science 21 3 Evolution: Believe It or Not Instructor: Ralph Sulerud For many decades most biologists have accepted the theory o f organic evolution as being supported by a body o f irrefutable evidence. Nevertheless, there has been an upsurge o f antievolutionism in the past few years, which has led to a great deal of discussion and the publication o f numerous books on the subject. In this course the historical development o f the theory o f evolution from Darwin to the present time will be traced. The evidence in support o f the theory will be discussed, and the mechanisms o f evolution as presently understood by biologists will be studied. During the last part of the course some o f the recent antievolution literature which attempts to refute the scientific evidence will be examined. In this part o f the course people representing various points o f view will be invited to some o f the sessions.

This course does not promise all that! But London does offer much of value and interest to study. Its amazingly rapid growth since mid 16th century has meant that Londoners have felt, thought about, and responded to modern urban problems for at least four centuries. Its business community was at the forefront of economic change in the Western world for several centuries. Several times the city has represented high points in the history of European culture. It has had a massive influence on English society generally (well illustrated by its demographic preponderance in the nation) and a powerful leverage on British politics (whose capital was conveniently located just a few miles up the Thames River). And fortunately, for the purpase of our study, there is a great deal of literature about the city that is readily available. Urban history, and hopefully this course, appeals t o students o f various disciplines - geography, architecture, popular culture, economics, urban planning, political science, as well as history. Both in class activities and student assignments, there will be an effort t o construct the course so as to reflect this interdisciplinary interest. There will be wide choice in the matter o f assignments; it is understood, though, that an individual project emphasizing literature or architecture will evidence the insights and background gained in the broader concerns o f the course. Prerequisites: None Distribution: Urban or Social Science Time: I1 Room: Old Main 19 The Japanese-American Experience Instructor: Khin Khin Jensen This course is a study o f the Japanese-American experience in the USA.

Skibbe The world appears to be in a state o f crisis. What is necessary to provide order? What kind o f order would be best? Usually we turn to political science or ecological sciences to find the answers and principles o f order. However, religions have always been ways in which people have ordered their world. We will take that approach. What are leading religious and theological concepts of order? What does the religious map o f the world look like today? What can religion contribute to world order? What might the future be and how can we work toward a desirable future with regard to religion and world community? Reading, discussion, lecture, simulation game, films, and visiting speakers.

Christians, Jews and Moslems have seen in that relatively small area at the eastern end o f the Mediterranean a place o f great importance. The current discussions and peace initiatives are a measure of the continuing interest in the whole o f the Middle East. The goal of the interim in Israel is fundamentally two-fold. First, we will attempt to become acquainted with the methodology, procedu~so f archaeological study and some of the results. Second, we will seek to gain a modest first-hand acquaintance with the geography of Israel especially as this geography relates to biblical history. To accomplish these purposes, there will be assigned reading, and we will listen to lectures and visit museums. We will stay in Jerusalem which will make possible a number of walking tours o f the Old City. In addition t o this there will be two three-day trips; one trip to the north where we will visit places such as Hatzor, Nazareth, Tiberius, and the Sea o f Galilee.

Introduction Few liberal arts colleges cgmbine the excitement and vitality of a metropolitan center with the smallness and intimacy of the rural setting. Augsburg is one of the few, very special Christian colleges which can offer you both. The small college atmosphere enables you to be a participant or a spectator at a variety of events and activities. Exhibitions, concerts, films, and lectures are regularly available to you on campus. Through the intercollegiate or intramural athletic programs you may choose participation in athletics. Religious activities are a vital part of the campus. The Religious Life Commission has been established by the Student Government to oversee, stimulate and perpetuate religious life on the Augsburg campus. Its primary purpose and goal is neither self-serving nor selfsustaining, but rather furthering the ministry of Christ on the Augsburg campus. You, the student, are an individual at Augsburg. You design your own learning experience. While distributional and major requirements act as guidelines, there is latitude to design a portion of your own education. At Augsburg, the innovative and experimental as well as the individual are central. The college follows the calendar known as the "41-4." In the study of the liberal arts, you will encounter ideas and experiences from the whole range of human knowledge. The liberal arts education, however, is more than an accumulation of knowledge from a number of fields. Augsburg recognizes that concentration is necessary in your chosen field. You may choose from a variety of majors for hundreds of career possibilities. Augsburg is in the center of the Twln Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In this metropolitan setting, a rich kaleidoscope d resources and activities are available to enrich your educafion, if you choose. You may select an evening at the Guthrie Theater, the Brave New Workshop, or at any of the many galleries or cofee houses. You might spend an afternoon touring the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. You may choose a concert by the Minnesota Orchestra or one by the many professional touring groups that appear in the Twin Cities. There are numerous opportunities for individual and team sports. Professional sports are also available the Twins, the Vikings, the North Stars, the Fighting Saints, and the Kicks. Thus, we feel Augsburg is a distinctive combination: a strong academic program, a capable and dedicated staff, an eager student body and a remarkable location. The College Identification Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college affiliated with the American Lutheran Church (ALC). Founded more than 1 0 0 years ago, Augsburg celebrated its centennial in 1 9 6 9 and is in its second century of Christian higher education. The current student body of over 1 7 0 0 is largely of Lutheran background though many denominations are represented on campus. About 65% are resident students, while others commute daily from the surrounding metropolitan area. Location You and your education will have the option of benefiting from Augsburg's location in the Twin Cities. Excellent art collections are available to you in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Walker Art Center, and many other galleries. The Minnesota Orchestra and other area performing organizations afford rich opportunities for the enjoyment of music of many types. The Twin Cities also appear regularly on the itineraries of major performing artists. A variety of dramatic and musical presentations is provided by several theaters in the area such as the nationally known Guthrie Theater, Theater-in-the Round, the Old Log Theater, the St. Paul Opera, Chimera Theater and the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. Recreational activities abound. You can play tennis at parks near the campus or swlm in one of the many area lakes. In the winter you may join other students on skiing trips. Professional sports are available the year around. Reaching the Twin Cities is easy. Several major airlines provide daily service to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, including United, Northwest Orient, Eastern, Braniff, North Central, Ozark and Allegheny. Bus or train connections can be made from all areas of the United States. The Augsburg campus is just five minutes east of downtown Minneapolis via Interstate 9 4 which forms the southern border of the campus. (Directions are given in the map section of this catalog.) History Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Minneapolis replaced Marshall, Wisconsin, as Augsburg's home in 1 8 7 2 . The first college students were enrolled in 1 8 7 4 and the first college graduation was held in 1 8 7 9 . The school was officially named Augsburg College in 1 9 6 3 when its former sponsor, the Lutheran Free Church, merged with the American Lutheran Church. Augsburg Seminary joined with Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul that same year. Nature and Objectives Augsburg is a four-year liberal arts college of the American Lutheran Church. It is committed to an open, honest, competent inquiry into the sciences, arts, and humanities in the context of the Christian faith. Augsburg emphasizes the following primary objectives: To expose students to a wide variety of ideas and disciplines, while assisting them to become proficient in one area or major to help students understand the Christian faith in relation to the contemporary world to develop students' love of learning and their faculties of reason, criticism, curiosity and imagination by encouraging and maintaining academic excellence to increase students' understanding o f the urban environment and culture, and to enable them to gain the skills needed to respond creatively to the problems and potentialities of the modern city to encourage students to ascertain their interests and abilities, and to aid them in discovering the occupational opportunities which exist for them to assist students in their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth; to encourage them to develop attitudes and qualities o f character compatible with the Christian faith. The Campus I 1 Augsburg's compact campus is located in the heart of Minneapolis surrounding Murphy Square, the first of the 1 5 5 parks in the "City of Lakes." The College currently has 1 5 major buildings with a number of cottage housing units that are very popular with the students. The University of Minnesota and two of the city's largest hospitals, Fairview and St. Mary's, are adjacent to the campus. Accreditation Augsburg has achieved full accreditation in the following associations that set standards by which excellence is judged: North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools The National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary) The American Chemical Society Visiting the Campus The purpose of the campus visit is to permit students to learn, first-hand, about the College program, facilities, and admissions requirements. A personal interview affords candidates, parents, and the admissions counselor the opportunity to exchange information vital in the process of selecting a college and in making admissions decisions. A campus tour and an interview with an admissions officer are strongly recommended but are not mandatory. Students who wish to arrange for a tour and an interview are asked to write for an appointment or call the office ( 3 3 2 - 5 18 1 ) . Preferred times for campus visits are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays.

Academic Life Augsburg is a modern well-equipped college which aims to provide its students with a broad liberal arts education as well as prepare them for a career. A strong academic program in the arts and sciences and in theology is available. Pre-professional preparation for such fields as engineering, medicine, law and the Christian ministry is offered. The College prepares students for graduate study in several disciplines. Preparation for careers in business, communications, medical technology, music, nursing, occupational therapy, social work, and teaching is available. Augsburg seeks to assist its students through their academic experience to better understand themselves and the world and to equip them to serve according to their individual interests and abilities. The 4- 1 -4 Calendar Augsburg follows the 4-1.-4 calendar. Two 1 5 week semesters are separated by a 4-week interim in January. During each semester the student generally enrolls in four courses; during the interim concentration is on one subject. The interim period is an especially exciting time. The whole world becomes an arena of learning. Creative energies and individual interests determine the course of study. Innovation and experimentation are encouraged in this change from the general academic schedule. Interest in music may take form in the study and presentation of a concert program. Interest in people may find form in the study and participation in activities of a social agency. Newspapers and advertising agencies provide opportunities for those interested in communications. Whether your interests are sedate or spectacular the interim will afford the opportunity to experience and experiment while learning. Faculty Augsburg has an able faculty who try to take a personal interest in their students. The studentfaculty ratio is approximately 1 7 . 8 to 1 , with class size averaging 2 5 or less. Augsburg faculty members serve as academic advisers and are available for help on individual problems. They often join students in discussing the political climate, comparing notes on a visiting speaker, or talking over the latest Viking victory while having coffee. General Education Requirements Distribution requirements for graduation are minimal, affording the student considerable freedom in the choice of courses. A student seeking a liberal arts education would probably choose many of them even if they were not required. In the humanities division, students select courses in literature, philosophy, art, music, speech, drama, and religion. Science courses may be chosen from biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, or psychology. Courses in economics, history, political science, sociology, and foreign languages or literature are available. Proficiency in English writing must be demonstrated.

Options 3 5 Introduction to Interim Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible during the regular term. There will be no summer Interim in 1988. Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for a four-course load during Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course. Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the course description. Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading standard. To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation). It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and employment practices.

About this Catalog The catalog lists courses by departments. Departments are listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recognized by the college for Interim credit. Further descriptions and information about these courses are available in the Interim Office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of the Lifetime Sports listed at the end of the Catalog. Options International Interims - Students are invited to be part of one of the 26 international interims offered by the Upper Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE). These course opportunities are listed near the end of this catalog. Internships - Students electing an internship must present a completed internship learning contract to the Internship Office (Memorial 230) no later than Tuesday, November 24. Contract forms are available in the same office. - Independent or Directed Study Students may elect a program of independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent or directed study per interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study must: 1.Meet departmental requirements. 2. Present to the Registrar for approval a copy of the proposed study plan approved by the supervising faculty member. This proposal must be submitted at least one week before registration and no later than December 4. Appropriate study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office. Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in the Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered for the Religion requirement. Visiting Students Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-14 schools for the January Interim without tuition charges provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $560 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the interim office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office. Lourses Art d Li e Drawing A T 247-48001 Instructor: Norman Holen A study of undraped figures for art students and non-art students. The figure will be depicted in various settings with a variety of media for varying lengths of time. The poses will extend from three minutes to an hour. You will be introduced to the 2B and 4B pencils, colored pencils and the felt tip pen. Fee: $30 due the first day of class Distribution: Art-Music Time: I Room: Old Main 17 J PlantsUand Civilization BIO 102-48002 Instructor: Erwin Mickelberg A study of the profound influence of plants on mankind's economic, cultural and political history, as well as the steps that civilization has taken to improve chosen plants for use. Some plant anatomy and physiology will be discussed. Academic evaluation will be based on course exams. Distribution: Biology-Chemistry Time: I1 Room: Science 205 1 Biological Evolution BIO 107-48003 Instructor: Ralph Sulerud That organisms have evolved and, accordingly, all creatures are biologically related are probably the most significant conclusions which biology has contributed to human knowledge. The anti-evolutionist arguments of the "scientific creationist" will be investigated in this course. However, to the vast majority of biologists evolution is accepted as a fact, and the evidence in its support will be examined. Biologists do not agree concerning the mechanisms and pace of evolution. Indeed, theories as to these matters have evolved and continue to do so. Much of the course will involve historical study of evolutionary thought from preDarwinian times to the present. Finally, we will address the course of evolution from the origin of life itself to the origin of human life. There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist of lectures and discussions. Grading will be based primarily on quizzes and tests. Prerequisite: High School biology Distribution: Biology-Chemistry Time: I Room: Science 212 Business H Business Ethics: The Social Responsibility o Business f; B S 270-48004 Instructor: Dick Herzog In this course we will focus on the responsibilities of business to society and consider problems that businesses and business people face in a world of competing value systems. We will explore the moral foundations of capitalism and the use of reason to study systematically business conduct and behavior. Topics will include discrimination/affirmative action, truth in advertising, insider information, corporate take overs and green mail, multinational corporations and so on. There will be lectures, discussions and probably some guests. Students will write and defend in class two essays on assigned topics. There will be a final examination. Prerequisite: Ethics recommended Time: I1 Room: Old Main 21 Management Simulation Games BUS 278-48071/378-48072 Instructor: Amin Kader During this course, students will be grouped into teams to play a computerized business management exercise. Each team will control a company which manufactures and sells similar products. Each team will attempt to outperform other teams by selecting what appears to be the optimal operating strategy. This strategy will involve setting production volume, marketing expenditures, and selling prices and determining plant and securities investments as well as stockholders dividends. Students registering for upper division credit will be expected to have had at least one business course and to be able to apply business concepts learned. The lower division credit is designed for students who are interested in business but who have had no academic business training. This level will require students to rely on systematic and deductive analysis which will allow students to discover for themselves the relationship between the various component parts of the business decision. The lower version of the computerized game will be used for this group. Prerequisite: For 378 - BUS 242 or 252, BUS 221 or 331 and ECO 112 or permission of instructor Room: Psych 3 Time: I1 " Chemistry ' fur Changing Times CHE 100-48005 Instructor: Arlin Gyberg This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the very popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science background. Basic science and math are introduced early and are taught as needed for understanding the various topics and implications. The course does assume the student is interested in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry to life and living. Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for centuries. The early scientists were considered to be philosophers and their societies were philosophical societies. In recent decades the human seeking of personal independence has led to chemistry becoming a part of everyday life to the point of actual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, "the pill", food additives and processed foods, vitamin supplements, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching for life on other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and on. Emotions and mental disorders can often be traced to chemical imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The nature of a hangover is the result of a complex system of altered body chemistry. Even learning appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a "memory molecule". Most of the problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves, our society, our world, and our universe? Come join us as we take a molecular look at the human condition. This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format. Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Daily quizzes will be used for evaluation. This course meets a distribution need but does not satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106 or 116. Distribution: Biology-Chemistry Time: I1 Room: Science 315 Chemistry in Health CHE 120-48006 Instructor: John Holum This course will progress from a study of basic principles of chemistry (with emphasis on acid-base equilibria) to a study of the chemical reactions by which our bodies manage the transport of oxygen and waste carbon dioxide in the chemistry of cellular respiration. We shall study several situations in which this chemistry goes awry - drug overdoses, overbreathing at high altitudes, emphysema, diabetes, hysterics, and pulmonary diseases. There will be some attention to the nature of chemistry in particular and science in general. Average of four two-hour lectures per week with demonstrations; evaluations by hour examinations and a final. This course meets distribution but does not count toward a chemistry major or minor. Distribution: Biology-Chemistry Time: I Room: Science 315 History of Chemistry CHE 125-48061 Instructor: Jean C. Kung This course seeks to outline the influence of history on the discovery of the elements. Ancient peoples discovered and used a few elements setting the prologue for chemistry. We will examine the discoveries of the elements, their utility and the development of chemistry from ancient concepts to alchemy to the powerful modern science of today. The course grade will be based primarily upon a term paper. Distribution: Biology-Chemistry Time: I Room: Science 319 Computer Science f7 ~ort;an CSC 270-48007 Instructor: Larry Ragland A study of the FORTRAN programming language for students with some previous knowledge of programming. This course will expand a student's knowledge of programming and programming languages through presentation of the features of FORTRAN together with programming techniques for using those features. This course will involve lectures and programming assignments in FORTRAN. Evaluation will be based on the programming assignments and examinations. Prerequisite: One course with a study of a computer language (e.g. CSC 170 or MAT 175) Time: I1 Room: Science 112 Economics Economics of Urban Issues ECO 110-48008 Instructor: Ed Sabella Study of economic implications of many problems facing a metro-urban environment. Some of the topics to be discussed are: Population "Crisis", Crime Prevention, Ecology and Income Distribution; Distributing Free Bread; Mass Transit Systems, etc. Fundamental microeconomic tools are introduced to facilitate discussion of the above mentioned topics. (This is a basic course designed for those students who do not plan to major in Economics or Business Administration. It does not apply toward an Economics major or minor.) Distribution: Either Economics-Political Science or Urban Concerns Time: I1 Room: Library 1 Planned Economies (Soviet Union, Yu oslavia, India) 8 EC 495-48009 Instructor: Satya Gupta Students will study the evolution, objectives and performance of the present day economies of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and India under different systems of management. Students should be able to conceptualize and appreciate the differences in approach and solutions of economic problems of these countries. Grades will be based on three tests and one research paper. Prerequisites: ECO 112 or 113 (or consent of instructor) Time: I1 Room: Old Main 13 Education Student Teaching EDS 481-48010;EDE 481-48014 EDS 482-48011;EDE 482-48015 EDS 483-48012;EDE 483-48016 EDS 484-48013;EDE 484-48017 Instructors: Marie McNeff, Ann Fleener, Vicki Olson Observing and directing learning under supervision of college and secondary school personnel. This is a full day experience in a school. Grading is P/N only. Prerequisites: Acceptance in Education Program and permission of instructor. fke Once and Future King: Arthur Through the Ages ENG 130-48018/ENG 430-48025 Instructor: Joan Griffin "Hic jacet Arthurus Rex quondam rexque futurus (Here lies King Arthur, the once and future king)." These words, legend says, are engraved on the tomb of the greatest king who ever lived, Arthur of Britain. But another tradition says that Arthur never died. Instead, he was taken to the magical island of Avalon after he was wounded in his last battle. There he will remain until the world has need of a leader as great as he. In fact Arthur has returned again and again in myth, legend, poetry, novels, and films. Arthur (and Arthurian themes) have appeared in the works of great writers like T.S. Eliot and James Joyce. But he's appeared just as often on the best seller lists (in novels by Mary Stewart, for example), on the stage (Camelot) and in the movies (Excalibur). King Arthur is as compelling a figure in modern imagination as he was in medieval literature. Why7 Who is this Arthur7 Who was he in his own time, and what has he become throughout the centuries7 Our quest for the meaning of King Arthur will take us from medieval to modern times. We will look at classics like Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morta D'Arthur, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King. We will also look at more popular works like T.H. White's Once and Future King and movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Excalibur. Evaluation will be based on a number of short papers, contributions to class discussion, and an exam. Students enrolling for upper division credit will also be asked to lead a class discussion and write a long paper based on additional readings. Prerequisites: ENG 111Effective Writing (or consent of instructor) Time: I1 Room: Old Main 16 Rock 'N' Roll: Lyric, Metaphor, Lore ENG 355-48019 Instructor: John Mitchell Devotees of rock and roll music tend neither to listen to the lyrics nor to understand them when they do, probably by preference. This course will examine the language of rock and roll, emphasizing figures of speech and other poetic techniques (metaphor, irony, etc.) and their thematic implications. Feature films, ranging from Blackboard Jungle to Woodstock to The Wall, will also be examined for their cultural implications and themes. Students will be required to take tests and to write an extended analysis based upon assigned readings and the use of language in the music. A fee will be charged to help pay for film rentals. Prerequisites: ENG Ill-Effective Writing Time: I1 Room: Science 123 Five College Advanced Short Fiction Writing ENG 362-48058 Instructor: Carol Bly This course will focus on writing short stories, but will also include a study of basic fiction theory and the reading of excellent works for use as examples. There will be frequent in-class exercises, short (200 word) homework fiction to write, peer and class critiquing and frequent conferences with the instructor. Small group work will be encouraged. We will explore sophisticated means of writing short American literature--with emphasis on generosity of plot, sensuous detail in place and time settings, presentation of characters, brisk and lovely language as well as we can manage. Grades will be based on writing, class participation and evidence of the grasp of advanced literary principles. Prerequisite: One writing course beyond effective writing and permission of Professor John Mitchell Time: 10:OO-12:30 TWRF Room: Hamline University, LC 102 E French Beginning French FRE 111-48057 Instructor: Ruth Aaskov This course aims to develop communication skills of understanding, speaking, reading and writing. Through conversations, classroom practice and readings, this course works toward the discovery of French culture and the French way of life. Distribution: Foreign Language Time: I1 Room: Old Main 25 German Introduction t o Yiddish GER 220-48070 Instructor: Don Steinmetz What do the works of Sholem Aleichem (which inspired "Fiddler on the Roof"), Issac Singer (Nobel Prize for Literature), and several other great writers have in common7 They were written in Yiddish. How did expressions like "chuspe," "shnook," "klutz," "kitch," "schmaltz," and "shitik" get into English? Again, the answer is Yiddish. Yiddish is closely related to German and in this interim you can learn to read Yiddish as well as you can read German. Grades will be based on performance and at least two tests. dia NLL 4 d ~ 1rrL ri~~,a Prerequisite: One year of college German or permission of instructor Time: I Room: Old Main 12 Health and Phwsical Education II Recreational Rhythms and Activities PE 232-48022 Instructor: Mary Manderfeld Theory and practice in teaching and performing American heritage and international folk dances. Exposure to New Games concepts and activities. The majority of the course grade is based on participation in class activities, a teaching assignment, and a written test. This is a 1/2credit course. Time: I1 Mondays, Wednesdays, and alternate Fridays Room: Melby H Sailing in the Virgin Islands HPE 455-48023 Instructor: Joyce Pfaff This course is designed for the beginning and intermediate sailor interested in the art and practice of sailboat cruising. The course will focus on taking the student to a competent level of sailboat handling (anchoring, mooring, helming and crewing). The student will live aboard a 39 foot fixed keel sailboat with five other people and will function as an active member of the crew. Actual on the water instruction will be the major part of the course. Sailing will include cruises to the various islands and cays in the British and American Virgin Islands. Evaluation will be based on performance as a crew member as well as a written final exam. Prerequisite: Instructor's permission Distribution: Lifetime sport Beiltg H14man INS 18848063 Instructor: Bruce Reichenbach What is it to be a human being? We will first raise questions about the extent of our knowledge, about the meaning of life, and about values. Secondly, we will explore how individuals are related to their society. We will analyze, among other things, the nature and purpose of education and the role of the individual in the state. Finally, we will focus on the impact which contemporary developments in artificial intelligence have on how we view ourselves. The course will emphasize reading original sources from various historical periods, and frequent written interaction with those readings. Several short papers plus written preparation for small group discussions will be expected. Prerequisite: Freshmen only Distribution: Urban Time: I Room: Music 24 Images of America: From Wilderness Forest to Urban Sprawl EVE INS 188-48064 Instructor: Ron Palosaari When Europeans first settled in America they found themselves in a wilderness they hoped to transform into a garden. We modern Americans find ourselves in an increasingly urbanized environment and want simultaneously to transform the city to make it more liveable and also to flee the city and escape its problems by going back to nature. In this course we will study some works of literature and other texts that will help us understand how we got our attitudes toward city and country. We will consider the Greek development of the idea of the city, move on to the Hebrew and Christian conceptions of the ideal society and then study some of the development of American ideas about country and city. Students will be expected to develop a personal statement of their attitudes towards the rural and the urban. Students will write three papers and take a final examination. We will take a field trip or two and have several guest speakers. Texts: L. Mumford, The City in History, selections I Plato, The Republic, selection Bible, selections Augustine, The City of God, selections R.W.Emerson, "Nature" H.D. Thoreau, "Waldenff,selections N. Hawthorne, "My Kinsman Major Molineaux" E.A. Poe, "The Man of the Crowd" S . Crane, Maggie J. Baldwin, Go Tell It On the Mountain J.C. Oates, Them Prerequisite: Freshmen only Distribution: Urban Time: I Room: Music 23 Leadership in the City flz/E INS 188-48065 Instructor: Richard Nelson It has often been observed that leadership cannot be taught. While that is probably true, it is definitely true that leaders and leadership can be profitably studied. In this course we will study leadership within the context of the city. Through readings, discussion, and lectures we will view the ancient and modern city and selected problems within urban culture which require the development of various types of leaders and styles of leadership. During the first two weeks of class we will read from texts and view films which will provide us with background material, and since all events are rooted in time, much of this material will be historical in nature. The third week of the course will be devoted to time spent observing the city. Each student will visit with a leader in our metropolitan community whom you will interview in order to gain primary data about his or her role as a leader. In addition, you will work in teams to view the life of the city and formulate questions and observations about the nature of our metropolitan area. In the final week of the class we will reserve time for individual and team reports to be given in class. During the course you will write four short papers (3-4 pages), prepare oral reports based on your week in the city, and write three short exams. Each component, the short papers, the oral reports, and the short exams will comprise 30% of your final grade. Your participation in discussions will count 10% of your final grade. Prerequisite: Freshmen only Distribution: Urban Time: I Room: Old Main 16 1 H Urban Theatre and Art 11v,C INS 188-48065 4 Instructor: Julie Bolton The Twin Cities is among the three largest theatre centers nationally. In this seminar we will use current local productions as a laboratory for our exploration of meaning in drama and theories of drama (expectations and needs of the audience, the nature of the dynamic process which is related between the actor and audience, and the differentiation between the play and the production). Play productions which were available in 1987 were Shakespeare's As You Like It, Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, Ping Chong's Nosferatu, and David Hare's A Map of the World among others. The seminar will focus on the themes: city/rural, artificial/ real, technology and civilization/nature, sin and darkness/ healing and restoration. We will use as background material classical humanistic texts: Job, Plato's The Republic, Shakespeare's Macbeth, Adam's The Dynamo and the Virgin and Lewis Mumford's City in History. Three productions will be viewed on which three 3-5 page critical reviews will be written and shared with the group as a basis for discussions. Research problems will require library use. Play productions will be supported by visits to art museums. There will be a fee for play admissions. Prerequisite: Freshmen only Distribution: Urban Time: I Room: Old Main 11 Interdisciplinary Externship: e ink in^ ducati ion and the World of Work INS 299-486% Instructors: Garry Hesser and Lois Olson Learn from your experiences. Discover new ways to learn by observing, collaborating, and reflecting on your experiences. The externship is a modified internship consisting of a halftime placement and active participation in a seminar that meets twice a week. Each student will be assisted in the process of securing an unpaid placement where s/he can obtain valuable first hand experience in the world of work. The course is designed to achieve two major objectives: 1) to enable students to observe and experience the relationships between the worlds of work and the classroom; and 2) to expand the students' abilities to learn from first hand experience. Each participant will observe and work approximately 20 hours per week in a placement which matches his/her major or career interests. The seminar will meet twice a week for approximately two hours. Evaluation will be based upon the overall quality of participation, supervisor assessment, critical incident analysis, journal/log and seminar participation. Participants will complete a resume by November 24 and secure a placement before the end of Fall classes (December 11). Prerequisites: Permission of instructor and placement secured by December ll. Women, Men and the Bible INS 181-48027 Instructor: Bev Stratton Who are the women of the Bible7 How have women been involved in or neglected by the Jewish and Christian faiths through the centuries7 How have other religions dealt with gender issues7 What does the Bible say about the roles and relationships of women and men in the family and in the church7 How do our images of God and our language effect our beliefs7 When must masculine pronouns be retained in Biblical translation, and when is inclusive language appropriate? How do our religious understandings of the roles of women and men impact our actions in society? We will explore these and other questions through extensive reading and class discussions. Our focus will be on the Judeo-Christian tradition, but we will also consider other religions, modern reactions to patriarchy, and inclusive language for worship. Evaluation will be based on class discussions, quizzes, short papers, exams, and a project. Prerequisites: An open mind Distribution: urban/women/minority Time: I Room: Old Main 13 Politics and Process in Education INS 183-48053 Instructor: Norm Ferguson Ever wondered about the advantages and disadvantages of the formal education you are experiencing? How have the educational methods you have been exposed to shaped your view of yourself and the world7 The objectives of this course are to examine the processes used today in American education (from elementary school through college) and to evaluate them from a variety of social science perspectives (political, psychological, sociological). The content of the courses will include topics such as: cooperative learning, experiential education, individual learning styles, whole-brain learning, social responsibility, and student-teacher interactions. Class time will be devoted mainly to the discussion of topics such as these. Guest speakers will illustrate some of the alternative approaches to education being used currently in the Twin Cities. Evaluation will be based on: (a) class participation and (b) two papers or one paper and one class presentation. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor Time: I Room: Psych 2 The Rabbi and the Robot: Human Value in the Computer Age INS 185-38029 Instructor: Larry Crockett This course will explore how human beings should be understood in an age of robots, intricate computers, and artificial intelligence. Using film, non-fiction, and fiction, we will examine these questions: Are human beings in some sense machines7 Is it conceivable that smart machines might in some sense be persons? What does the JudeoChristian tradition have to say about such questions7 Students will be asked to write one essay each week and to write one exam consisting of multiple choice and essay items. Prerequisites: A computer science, psychology or philosophy course Time: I Room: Old Main 21 Cultural and Political Realities in Jordan, Israel, the West Bank and Egypt INS 262-480 Instructors: Joel Mugge and Gary Olson Students will visit Jordan, Israel, the West Bank and Egypt to examine historical, cultural, socio-economic and political factors in interaction. The course will include readings, lectures and field experiences designed to illuminate life in the Moslem, Jewish and Christian communities and to increase understanding of the political and social dynamics which have engendered conflict in the region. Participants will meet with people and organizations representing the countries' many political and religious viewpoints. The group will also travel to key historical sites such as Jerusalem's Old City and Cairo's pyramids. Trip leaders will be Moravian College political science professor Gary Olson and Joel Mugge, Director of the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College. Approximate cost will be $1800 from Minneapolis, including all transportation, accommodations, tours and meals with an itinerary extending from January 7 through January 24. Grading will be on a P/N basis only and evaluation will be based on a journal integrating experiences with assigned readings and on participation in a global perspectives forum during the spring term. Interested students must register first with the Center for Global Studies by October 30.

The course explores social work services with this dual focus. We will visit a variety of community agencies: formal public, private, and natural helping networks in a range of urban and rural settings. In order to experience the nation's culture, we will be invited to English family homes, meet with social work students, attend theatre performances, and visit historic treasures. London is the nerve center for the countrv's resources and we will begin by visiting some of its foremost community institutions such as Great Ormond Street Childrens' Hospital and Toynbee Hall Settlement. With the help of English social work students, we will unravel the post Second World War commitment to universal social policies. These policies have established services available to all citizens in health, education, income maintenance, housing, and personal social services. They also provide the major working turf of the social work profession. As a contrast to the inner city of London, we will visit Exeter and explore the rural and beautiful coastal West Country. In addition to the formal 'public' social work agencies such as Probation and Corrections, we will make contact with informal services and the small, more extended family oriented fishing and farming communities. Throughout the course, there will be an emphasis on understanding current national policies and attitudes through cultural and literary connections. Therefore, visits to the National Theatre, The Houses of Parliament, cathedrals, and ancient community sites such as Oxford are an integral part of recognizing and appreciating the whole community. Culture and history come to life during day excursions through the gentle English countryside to Oxford and Stratford, Warwick and Coventry, Bath and Canterbury. Students will complement their direct experience by reading the British press and current social policy pamphlets, journals, and books. Suggested Readings: A. Kahn and S. Kammerman, Not the Poor Alone; M . Bruce, The Rise o f the Welfare State; l? Barclay, Social Workers: Their Role and Tasks; Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist; any play by G.B.Shaw, and the 'quality press' - The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph. Student evaluation will be based on a summary of a reflective journal, an agency study, a critique of a current social policy (which includes a comparison with their American experience), and participation in visits and discussions. The comprehensive fee of $1,965 includes air and surface travel, accommodations, six dinners, four theater tickets and a one week London travel pass. Registration for this interim must be made before October 23 in The International Center, Old Main 20. Field Work III SWK 466-48045/SWK 466-48046 Instructor: Maria Brown The objectives of the class are to use supervisory relationship to increase interpretive as well as social work performance competence; to promote gradual entry into direct social work practice; to increase competence in the client contact phase of the problem solving process; to increase student self-awareness in regard to professional practice interests, areas of strength, and areas for personal/professional development; to promote competence in the full process of problem solving, with special emphasis on analysis and resolution stages. Course content will be continuation of Field Work I1 educationally focused field placement in a social service agency. Students will spend 15 (or 30) hours per week in field placement, plus one hour per week in faculty facilitated supportive seminar held on campus.

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

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

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

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

You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you find your calling at work and in the world. Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Barbara A.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. Mission Statement Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, 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 our urban and global settings. Augsburg Today Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a non-traditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers the following graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education (MAE) Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN) Master of Business Administration (MBA) Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Master of Social Work Doctor of Nursing Practice Dual degrees: BA in accounting/MA in leadership Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration Master of Social Work/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. Minneapolis and Rochester Locations Augsburg’s Minneapolis campus Augsburg’s Minneapolis campus surrounds Murphy Square, the oldest park in the city of Minneapolis. The University of Minnesota West Bank campus and one of the city’s largest medical complexes—the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview—are adjacent to Augsburg, with the Mississippi River and the Seven Corners theater district just a few blocks away. Convenient bus routes run by the campus, and two Hiawatha Line light rail stations are just blocks away. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg has a branch campus in Rochester, Minn., located at Bethel Lutheran Church. For maps, directions, and parking information, go to www.augsburg.edu/about/map. Augsburg established its branch campus in Rochester, Minn., in 1998. Classes in Rochester meet on an evening schedule with occasional Saturdays, making them accessible to working adults. There are three trimesters in each academic year, and students can enter degree programs in the fall, winter, or spring. Several complete degree programs are available through the Rochester campus. In addition, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester-based courses and courses taken in the day or Weekend College program on the Minneapolis campus.

FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. You must request to review your education records in writing, with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records as you requested. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information” FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The official academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is: 4.0 grade points Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 grade points Achieves above acceptable standards 3.0 grade points Meets acceptable standards 2.5 grade points Meets minimum standards 2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance P N V W I X Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) No credit (not counted in grade point average) Audit Withdrawn Incomplete In progress, extended beyond term of registration Withdrawn Status W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to 15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per trimester. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program, see p. 49. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal from the College A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration (6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student Rights The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I—Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student’s program.) Part II—Informal Process It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time limits.) • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III—Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs.

Readmission to the College The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is one business day prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). Admission of International Students Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S. consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: A. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited US bachelor’s degree. • Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard US grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. • Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Office of Admissions. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation. B. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. Financing Your Education Costs for Graduate Studies Each academic year the Augsburg Board of Regents reviews costs and makes changes as required. The College reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. For current academic year costs for graduate study, go to the Enrollment Center webpage at www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Financing Your Education Financial assistance is available to graduate students who are enrolled in a total of at least 1.0 course credit per term in any of Augsburg’s graduate programs. Two full-credit courses per term is considered full time. You may be eligible to finance your education through loan programs from the State of Minnesota or the federal government. You may also select from a variety of payment plans available each semester or trimester, including a plan for those who receive company tuition assistance. Financial aid may be used for international programs where credit is offered. Payment Options Various payment plans are available: • Payment in full: Due after registration and before the beginning of the semester/trimester. No finance charge or administrative fee. Finance charge of 8% APR will apply toward any unpaid balance after the start of the term. • Loans, grants, and/or scholarships: If you plan to use the loans that you have been awarded, you must request the funding. These loans include Stafford, PLUS, Alternative/Private, etc. All loan requests (either paper or online) must be received and approved by the lender and certified by Augsburg’s financial aid office, on or before the first day of the term. Company Reimbursement An application for the Employer Reimbursement Payment Plan must be filed once each academic year. Students enrolled in the payment plan will be charged a $20 fee each term unless the account is paid in full by the start of the term or if financial aid will cover all costs for the term. This fee is nonrefundable after the 100% drop date. Final payment on any remaining balance is due 60 days after the end of the course. Accounts not paid in full by the due date will receive a monthly $50 late payment fee and are subject to further collection efforts. The student is responsible for payment if the employer does not pay for any reason. Sources of Financial Aid The Enrollment Center assists students in assessing financial aid eligibility and identifying various sources of aid. Sponsored Scholarships Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships may enable the participation of individuals with limited financial means as well as individuals working for volunteer agencies and other organizations not likely to provide tuition reimbursement. Refer to the program sections or contact the programs for more information. Military Discount At Augsburg College, we value the varied professional and academic experiences that our adult students bring to our campus community and are grateful to those who volunteer to serve in the military. Augsburg offers a 10% military tuition discount for the following: • • a member of the military currently serving full or part time (any branch) veteran of any branch of the United States Armed Forces. The military discount is available only to students in the Weekend and Evening College undergraduate program and graduate programs. Contact the Office of Admissions or go to www.augsburg.edu/military for more details. AmeriCorps Scholarships AmeriCorps scholarships are available to full-time graduate students. Contact the Enrollment Center for more details. Tribal and State Indian Scholarships American Indian students who meet federal, state, or tribal requirements may apply for these scholarships. Indian grants generally supplement other sources of financial aid. For assistance in application, contact Augsburg’s American Indian Student Services Program director at 612-330-1144 or your tribal agency. Federal and State Aid Programs The Enrollment Center uses standard, nationally accepted methodology to determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs. Federal Stafford Loan Program Common Loan Provisions Borrowing Limits: Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per year with an aggregate of $138,500 (undergraduate and graduate). A student may borrow from either the unsubsidized or subsidized programs or a combination of both but cannot exceed the annual loan limits. Repayment Terms: Repayment begins six months after you cease to be enrolled at least half time in an eligible program leading to a degree or certificate. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. Deferments: No interest accrues nor do payments need to be made at any time you are enrolled at least half time or for serving three years in the military, Peace Corps, or VISTA. Contact the Enrollment Center if you think you are eligible for a deferment. Supplemental Loans: If additional financing is needed, the Enrollment Center can offer guidance in selecting the appropriate loan. To Apply for Financial Aid Financial aid information is available at www.augsburg.edu/enroll Applicants must be admitted to Augsburg as regular students or be returning students in good academic standing to be eligible for financial aid. Applicants for graduate study must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To complete and submit the FAFSA electronically, go to www.augsburg.edu/enroll If a student is selected for verification, additional documents will be needed. Students in this situation will be contacted by the Enrollment Center. Financial Policies Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance is determined. Allow two weeks for a refund. The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement payment plan. For further information, contact the Enrollment Center, 612-330-1046, 1-800-458-1721, enroll@augsburg.edu, or www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Master of Arts in Education We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals—and here’s why. OUR PHILOSOPHY The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all full-time faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment option—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows. Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise, neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with other generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous endeavor and seek it throughout their careers. Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community. We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever-present phenomenon. They are informed decision-makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it benefits students, teachers, and/or community. Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a foundation of self-efficacy. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. • Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. * K-12 English as a Second Language • K-12 Special Education: Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities • K-12 Special Education: Learning Disabilities Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: * K-12 English as a Second Language • K-12 Special Education: Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities • K-12 Special Education: Learning Disabilities • K-12 Reading • Pre-Primary All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core. See the MAE program director for details. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College is accredited by: • The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools • National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Course Credit A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered weekdays and weekday evenings. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and pre-primary specialty area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, and K-12 art. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread from early September through late June. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Curriculum— Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-primary can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to six courses may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree.

Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K-6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. The optional pre-primary endorsement is also available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case-bycase basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer.

K-12 and 5-12 Secondary Education K-12 and 5-12 licensures in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. The following content area majors are offered almost entirely on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekends and weekday evenings. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9–12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9–12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekends and weekday evenings. Licensure Requirements The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to six of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

Published December 2010 www.augsburg.edu A Greeting from the President I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Beginning in the fall of 2010, Augsburg is proud to offer its inaugural doctoral degree program—the Doctor in Nursing Practice program. Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student, find your calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Augsburg College I 3 Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Barbara A.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. the following graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education (MAE)—see p. 20 Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL)—see p. 34 Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN)—see p. 43 Master of Business Administration (MBA)—see p. 54 Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies—see p. 61 Master of Social Work—see p. 68 Doctor of Nursing Practice—see p. 49 Mission Statement Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, 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 our urban and global settings. Augsburg Today Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a nontraditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers Dual degrees: BA in accounting/MAL—see p. 40 MSW/MBA—see p. 58 and 76 MSW/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary—see p. 75 A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

Graduate Catalog I 10 FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 as amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education records. Augsburg College understands About Augsburg College that no information other than “directory information” can be released without the written permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. For example, this means that faculty or others cannot write letters of support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless explicit written permission is given by the student to release non-“directory information.” It is not sufficient to ask for letters of recommendation. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following: Right to inspect and review education records You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg College. You must request to review your education records in writing, with your signature. The College will respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request. Right to request amendment of education records You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records as you requested. Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize disclosure without your permission. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused. “Directory information” includes the following: • The student’s name; • The student’s address; • The student’s telephone number; • The student’s e-mail address; • The student’s date and place of birth; • The student’s major and minor field of study; • The student’s academic class level; • The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT); • The student’s participation in officially recognized activities and sports; • The student’s degrees and awards received; • The weight and height of members of athletic teams; • The student’s dates of attendance; • The most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student; and • The student’s photograph. Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. The Office of the Registrar must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory Information. If the notice is not received by the registrar prior to Sept. 15 (or within 10 school days of the start of a subsequent term for a new student), it will be assumed that all Directory Information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new notice for withholding disclosure must be completed each academic year. Right to complain to FERPA Office You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20202-4605, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA. Reporting Educational Information Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter. Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information” FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the student. Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider very Augsburg College I 11 Academic Programs and Policies Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars Most of our graduate programs meet on a trimester calendar. Physician Assistant Studies classes meet on a semester day schedule. The official academic calendars for individual programs can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is: 4.0 grade points Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 grade points Achieves above acceptable standards 3.0 grade points Meets acceptable standards 2.5 grade points Meets minimum standards 2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance P Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) N No credit (not counted in grade point average) V Audit W Withdrawn I Incomplete X In progress, extended beyond term of registration Withdrawn Status W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Graduate Catalog I 12 Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to 15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, in- Academic Programs and Policies cluding library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per trimester. Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program, see p. 49. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Degree Requirements Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal from the College A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership). Augsburg College I 13 Academic Programs and Policies The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. Graduate Catalog I 14 The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration (6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student Rights The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I—Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. Academic Programs and Policies College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student’s program.) Part II—Informal Process It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III—Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time limits.) Augsburg College I 15 Graduate Admissions Graduate Admissions Admission to Augsburg College Readmission to the College All graduate programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited four-year institution. The last day to receive approval for readmission to the College and register for classes is one business day prior to the start of the term. Pending approval by the graduate program, students who left on probation or who were dismissed from the College must have their readmission application and file reviewed by the program director. (Please consult with individual programs for information regarding readmission process). All graduate students must submit completed application forms that can be downloaded from each individual program’s web page, as listed below. Each graduate program also has additional program requirements, which may include coursework, professional experience, testing, etc. See the program sections for these additional requirements.

In order to receive an F-1 visa, federal regulations require international applicants to be sufficiently proficient in English to pursue a full course of study. To fulfill this requirement Augsburg graduate programs require international applicants to submit an official score report from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 100 (iBT), 250 (CBT) or 600 (PBT). The TOEFL is waived for applicants who have a four-year degree from a U.S. institution with a minimum of two years of successful academic work completed in the U.S. (seven or more courses). Graduate Catalog I 16 Admission of International Students Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S. consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: A. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree. • Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S. grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. • Translation to English (if applicable) Graduate Admissions The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation. B. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. Augsburg College I 17 Financing Your Education Financing Your Education Costs for Graduate Studies Sponsored Scholarships Each academic year the Augsburg Board of Regents reviews costs and makes changes as required. The College reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships may enable the participation of individuals with limited financial means as well as individuals working for volunteer agencies and other organizations not likely to provide tuition reimbursement. Refer to the program sections or contact the programs for more information. For current academic year costs for graduate study, go to the Enrollment Center webpage at www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Financing Your Education Financial assistance is available to graduate students who are enrolled in a total of at least 1.0 course credit per term in any of Augsburg’s graduate programs. Two full-credit courses per term is considered full time. You may be eligible to finance your education through loan programs from the State of Minnesota or the federal government. You may also select from a variety of payment plans available each semester or trimester, including a plan for those who receive company tuition assistance. Financial aid may be used for international programs where credit is offered. Payment Options Various payment plans are available: • Payment in full: Due after registration and before the beginning of the semester/trimester. No finance charge or administrative fee. Finance charge of 8% APR will apply toward any unpaid balance after the start of the term. • Loans, grants, and/or scholarships: If you plan to use the loans that you have been awarded, you must request the funding. These loans include Stafford, PLUS, Alternative/Private, etc. All loan requests (either paper or online) must be received and approved by the lender and certified by Augsburg’s financial aid office, on or before the first day of the term. Company Reimbursement An application for the Employer Reimbursement Payment Plan must be filed once each academic year. Students enrolled in the payment plan will be charged a $20 fee each term unless the account is paid in full by the start of the term or if financial aid will cover all costs for the term. This fee is non-refundable after the 100% drop date. Final payment on any remaining balance is due 60 days after the end of the course. Accounts not paid in full by the due date will receive a monthly $50 late payment fee and are subject to further collection efforts. The student is responsible for payment if the employer does not pay for any reason. Sources of Financial Aid The Enrollment Center assists students in assessing financial aid eligibility and identifying various sources of aid. Graduate Catalog I 18 Military Discount At Augsburg College, we value the varied professional and academic experiences that our adult students bring to our campus community and are grateful to those who volunteer to serve in the military.

Indian grants generally supplement other sources of financial aid. For assistance in application, contact Augsburg’s American Indian Student Services Program director at 612-330-1144 or your tribal agency. Federal and State Aid Programs The Enrollment Center uses standard, nationally accepted methodology to determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs. Federal Stafford Loan Program Common Loan Provisions Borrowing Limits: Graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per year with an aggregate of $138,500 (undergraduate and graduate). A student may borrow from either the unsubsidized or subsidized programs or a combination of both but cannot exceed the annual loan limits. Repayment Terms: Repayment begins six months after you cease to be enrolled at least half time in an eligible program leading to a degree or certificate. Repayment may extend up to 10 years. Financing Your Education Deferments: No interest accrues nor do payments need to be made at any time you are enrolled at least half time or for serving three years in the military, Peace Corps, or VISTA. Contact the Enrollment Center if you think you are eligible for a deferment. For further information, contact the Enrollment Center, 612330-1046, 1-800-458-1721, enroll@augsburg.edu, or www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Supplemental Loans: If additional financing is needed, the Enrollment Center can offer guidance in selecting the appropriate loan. To Apply for Financial Aid Financial aid information is available at www.augsburg.edu/enroll Applicants must be admitted to Augsburg as regular students or be returning students ingood academic standing to be eligible for financial aid. Applicants for graduate study must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To complete and submit the FAFSA electronically, go to www.augsburg.edu/enroll If a student is selected for verification, additional documents will be needed. Students in this situation will be contacted by the Enrollment Center. Finanical Policies Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance is determined. Allow two weeks for a refund.

Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals—and here’s why. OUR PHILOSOPHY The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all fulltime faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Graduate Catalog I 20 Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service edu- cation and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment course—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school specialty area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. • Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. • K-12 special education, emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education, learning disabilities Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: • Pre-Kindergarten endorsement • K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education: learning disabilities • K-12 reading endorsement (This program is under revision. Consult the Education Department for current status.) Augsburg College I 21 Master of Arts in Education All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College is accredited by: • The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools • National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education Augsburg College is approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. For a complete list of accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see page 9. area endorsements, 5-12 social studies, 5-12 communication arts, and K-12 art. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread from early September through late June. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet two or three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Course Credit A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered weekdays and weekday evenings. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and preprimary specialty Graduate Catalog I 22 Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-kindergarten can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria.

Special Education There are two licensure options in the K–12 Special Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD) and learning disabilities (LD). Both programs qualify students to teach in special education programs and positions; many students get licensure in both. The MAE program with licensure in special education is based on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in EBD and/or LD classrooms to fulfill a portion of their special education field experience requirements while they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in special education settings. All must complete field placements or student teaching in EBD and/or LD classrooms across elementary, middle school, and high school. Specific information on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department. Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—This graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and www.augsburg/edu/mae/academics/ais_focus.html for more information. The course descriptions are included below. The EBD/LD licensure programs are offered through the weekend trimester schedule. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered through the semester schedule.

We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Lori A. Peterson Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies 3 About Augsburg At Augsburg College, we believe that graduate education should prepare gifted people for positions of leadership in their communities and places of work. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. Mission Statement Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. Augsburg Today 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. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history. Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it. • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith. • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg offers the following graduate degrees: • • • • • • • • Master of Arts in Education Master of Arts in Leadership Master of Arts in Nursing Master of Business Administration Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Master of Social Work Doctor of Nursing Practice Augsburg offers the following dual degrees: • Bachelor of Arts in Accounting/Master of Arts in Leadership • Master of Social Work/Master of Business Administration • Master of Social Work/Master of Arts in Theology, with Luther Seminary 4 A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. 5 Locations Minneapolis Campus Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

International Students Admission Augsburg College graduate programs encourage qualified applicants from other countries to apply. An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 13 • If the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a US consulate. • If the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: English Proficiency Requirements for International Graduate Applicants To meet Augsburg College admission requirements, you must provide evidence of a sufficient command of both written and spoken English to study college courses conducted entirely in English.

Payment Options Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts/. Financial Aid All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis. This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage, www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/sap-policy/. Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of grants and loans. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid programs. During the 2012-2013 academic year, more than eight out of ten students at Augsburg received financial assistance. 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. How to Apply To be considered for the maximum amount of aid, students must apply for financial aid by May 1st. Steps to apply can be found online www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/graduate-financial-aid/ and are updated annually as federal and state processes change. 16 What Happens Next? Once all documents are received, we review the financial aid application to determine financial aid eligibility for all available programs. A financial aid award letter will be sent to the student. This letter details the financial aid award and includes information regarding federal and private loan programs (students must complete a loan application to receive loan funds). Types of Aid A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant (except as noted). The various forms of aid available are listed here for information only. In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children, and other sources. Institutional Grants/Discounts Augsburg offers grants/discounts for a variety of different students. Specific information about the different grants and scholarships, along with eligibility requirements, can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment plans-and-discounts/ Loan Assistance Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Three semester credits per term is considered half-time. Six semester credits per term is considered full-time. • Federal Stafford Student Loan o Unsubsidized Stafford Loan; interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower is responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan). • Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS) o PLUS is a loan program to help graduate students meet college costs. Students may borrow up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Further information about loan programs can be found online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial. Financial Policies Registration is permitted only if the student’s account for a previous term is paid in full or if the student is making scheduled payments in accordance with an approved online payment plan. Augsburg College will not release student academic transcripts or graduation diplomas/certificates until all student accounts are paid in full or, in the case of student loan funds administered by the College (Federal Perkins Student Loan), are current according to established repayment schedules and the loan entrance and exit interviews have been completed. Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule. Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. For further information view our refund policy online at www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/tuition-and-credit-refund/. Students may appeal refund decisions through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website. Students who wish to withdraw from Augsburg should complete the Withdrawal from College form available online through the Registrar’s Office website. It must be filled out completely, signed and turned in to the Registrar’s Office. 17 Students who properly withdraw or change to part-time, who are dismissed, or who are released from a housing contract will have their accounts adjusted for tuition and/or room in accordance with the terms of their housing contract and/or the appropriate tuition refund schedule. 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 officially drop courses with the Registrar’s Office 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, the refund will include the normal refund percentage (based on the regular refund schedule). Requests for medical refunds should be made through the Financial Petition Committee. Petition forms are available through the Registrar’s Office website. This extra medical refund will be considered upon submission of documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances. Unofficial Withdrawal Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website. A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively. The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include, but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and charges for the term dropped. The administrative cancellation fee is $300. 18 Student Resources/Academic and Support Services Lindell Library The James G. Lindell Family Library opened in 1997. The four-level, 73,000-square-foot facility houses the library and information technology functions of the College as well as the Gage Center for Student Success. In addition to its large collection of print volumes, e-books, and e-journals, Lindell Library includes special collections and archives, a curriculum library, a computer lab and student computing help desk, a library instruction classroom, and facilities for media viewing and listening. Skyways link the library to Oren Gateway Center and Sverdrup Hall. Learning Commons Within Lindell Library, a Learning Commons provides assistance in research and the use of technology as well as spaces for collaborative learning. In the Learning Commons multimedia lab, students can create digital audio and visual projects. Library Resources Students can search a wide variety of local, regional, national, and international databases. They have access to 23,000 e-journals, 17,000 e-books, and 190,000 print volumes within Lindell Library and, through a daily courier service, access to the library holdings of the seven private liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. In addition, Lindell Library has a large collection of media resources. A service-oriented staff provides students and faculty with research assistance and instruction in the use of information resources. Arrangements are made for access by students with physical limitation and special needs. Information Technology Resources Augsburg College has built a reputation as a leader in its commitment to provide students with relevant and timely access to information technology and training. Visit the Student Technology website, www.inside.augsburg.edu/techdesk, for more on Information Technology at Augsburg. Computing Students have access to more than 250 on-campus computers. Both PC and Macintosh desktop computers are available in the Lindell Library Learning Commons and computer lab, and in the 24-hour Urness computer lab. The College has six computer classrooms and 41 technology-enhanced classrooms. The circulation desk in Lindell Library has 40 wireless laptops available for use in the library. Several computer clusters are available for more specific student use within academic departments. A high-speed fiber optic campus network provides access to AugNet online services, printing, and to the internet. Network-ready student machines can connect to the campus network from residence hall rooms or any building on campus using WiFi. All of the AugNet online services are available securely on- and off-campus. Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students with physical disabilities which may include TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments, and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences. Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to discuss their disabilities and determine a plan for academic access. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include: • Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking) • Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling, financial aid) • Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory 19 • • Assistance with academic, organizational, and time management skills Campus living accommodations The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the College faculty, staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these opportunities and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility. Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting with a Specialist to discuss appropriate documentation. CLASS also provides informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional. Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential curricular components of an institution’s courses or programs. CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves Foundation. 20 Academic Programs and Policies Academic Calendars All of our graduate programs meet on a semester calendar. Academic Calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. All academic calendars are subject to change without notice. Academic Policies The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. Academic Honesty A college is a community of learners whose relationship relies on trust. Honesty is necessary to preserve the integrity and credibility of scholarship by the Augsburg College community. Academic dishonesty, therefore, is not tolerated. As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide) Evaluation and Grading Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Grading option cannot be changed from traditional (0.0 - 4.0) to Pass/No Credit. Explanation of grades for Graduate Studies: Grade 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0–0.0 P N V W I X Explanation Achieves highest standards of excellence Achieves above acceptable standards Meets acceptable standards Meets minimum standards Unacceptable performance Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) No credit (not counted in grade point average) Audit Withdrawn Incomplete In progress, extended beyond term of registration 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. Graduate students will be charged an audit fee of $1,000. The written permission 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, an 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 towards graduation. Withdrawal 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. 21 Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Registrar’s Office that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Extension (X) Grades Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned. Repeated Courses A course in which a grade of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat policy. Grade Point Average The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted, i.e., courses with 0.0 to 4.0 grade assigned. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each semester for up to 15 semesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project advisor. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, including library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per semester. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program 22 director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a college-wide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the Registrar’s Office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The Registrar’s Office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty advisor and, if necessary, request that the faculty advisor submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Registrar’s Office. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. Student Financial Services will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Credit and Contact Hours 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. All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with semester lengths from 14-16 weeks. Augsburg offers a summer semester which follows the same format as both fall and spring semester. Students must take at least 3 credits to be considered half-time, and 6 or more credits to be considered full-time. Students may take up to 22 credits. Degree Requirements To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Probation and Dismissal Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistant must consult the PA Program WƌŽŐƌĞƐƐŝŽŶ^ƚĂŶĚĂƌĚƐWŽůŝĐLJ. A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. 23 The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVPGraduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Business, Creative Writing, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Social Work). The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping or Withdrawing Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. To see the drop and withdrawal deadlines, see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar/. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available on the Registrar’s Office website or at the Enrollment Center. Term Off Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their advisor and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university institution and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. The maximum number of semester credits that can be transferred is: • • • • • • Master of Arts in Education (6) Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (12) Master of Arts in Leadership (6) Master of Arts in Nursing (9) Master of Business Administration (18) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) 24 • Master of Social Work (22) Augsburg credits are calculated in semester hours. If you completed courses at other institutions that are quarter hours, they will be converted to semester hours. One quarter hour equates to two-thirds of a semester hour. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded 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. 25 Master of Arts in Education We are pleased with your interest in the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program. Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals—and here’s why. Our Philosophy The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Our Faculty Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full‐time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K‐12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K‐12 settings; all full‐time faculty members are frequent visitors to K‐12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in‐service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. Our Accessibility We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate‐level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly‐qualified teacher— the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects 26 content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre‐service education and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion program. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment option—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Three Teacher Leadership Aspirations inform our program. They are as follows: Aspiration 1: Teacher leaders value learning for personal and professional growth. Teacher leaders share knowledge effectively with colleagues. We believe that teacher leaders are comfortable with their knowledge and expertise, neither flaunting it nor hiding it, but sharing it with others generously. They work to build bridges with a full range of colleagues, but they don’t let recalcitrant colleagues stop their own development. They see learning as a continuous endeavor and seek it throughout their careers. Aspiration 2: Teachers leaders think big—beyond the classroom to the broader context of education and community. We believe that teacher leaders see systems and the “big picture” and are able to put their classrooms, schools, and communities into a broader context. They understand the link between policies, politics, and education and participate in change efforts at the macro and micro levels. They seek to work with administrators to establish school and district policy that improves life for everyone. If this involves political action, they are prepared to engage in it. Teacher leaders also understand that teaching and learning are dynamic and that change within school systems is an ever‐present 27 phenomenon. They are informed decision‐makers predisposed to take on the challenge of change when they think it benefits students, teachers, and/or community. Aspiration 3: Teacher leaders possess courage and an orientation to action. We believe that teacher leaders help others not be afraid. They are able to help people to take warranted risks and step outside their comfort zones. They have the courage to bring people together to see the bigger picture and then help people get there. Teacher leaders accept both power and accountability. They understand that responsibility without power diminishes potential for effectiveness. They believe that accountability is a fair trade for the power to take effective action. They operate from a foundation of self‐efficacy. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K‐ 12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: Elementary education (K‐6), with or without a middle school content area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre‐primary endorsement to the elementary license. Secondary education (5‐12 and K‐12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9‐12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. K‐12 English as a Second Language* K‐12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: K‐12 English as a Second Language* K‐12 Special Education: Academic Behavior Strategist K‐12 Reading Pre‐Primary All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core. See the MAE program director for details. Accreditations and Approvals Augsburg College Teacher Education programs are accredited and approved by: National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Minnesota Board of Teaching. (MN BOT) Augsburg College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. For a complete list of Augsburg’s accreditations, approvals, and memberships, see the listing in the Accreditation, Approvals, and Memberships section of this catalog. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K‐12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires ten or eleven Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. 28 Credit MAE graduate level courses are offered for 3 semester credits. Each course is comprised of 37.5 instructional hours with the expectation of about 75 hours of independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Courses during the weekend meet face to face every other weekend with online instruction during the alternate weeks. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. These typically meet weekly face‐to‐face. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule through a mix of face‐to‐face and online instruction. Summer session courses are offered primarily weekdays and weekday evenings with a few on weekends during the first summer session. Summer courses are offered in a mix of formats from all online to all face‐to‐face. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the evening, weekend, and summer schedule: elementary education, most middle school and pre‐primary specialty area endorsements, 5‐12 social studies, 5‐12 communication arts, K‐12 art, K‐12 special education, K‐12 English as a second language, and K‐12 reading. Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, weekend, and summer schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend, weekday evenings, and summer while some, if not all, of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is also comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet one to three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K‐6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K‐6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre‐primary can be pursued along with or separately from the K‐6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate‐level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. All of the following courses must be taken for K‐6 elementary licensure. Up to seven courses may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree. EDC 200/522 ‐ Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 ‐ Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 ‐ Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 ‐ Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 ‐ School and Society EED 225/524 ‐ Foundations of Literacy EED 325/525 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Literacy* EED 350/550 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Math EED 360/560 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Science EDC 591 ‐ Topics To complete the license, the following undergraduate requirements must be completed: HPE 115 ‐ Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 ‐ Educational Technology 29 EED 326 ‐ Elementary Reading K‐6 Field Experience* (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) EED 311 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Health EED 312 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Physical Education EED 336 ‐ Advanced Literacy Methods* EED 341 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Art EED 370 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Social Studies/Thematics EED 380 ‐ Kindergarten Methods* EED 386 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Children’s Literature EED 481, 483, 485 ‐ Student Teaching: Elementary K‐6 EED 488 ‐ TPA and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience hours are required in these courses. Students spend 20 or more hours per term in field experiences. These experiences occur in K‐6 classrooms during the weekday. If more than one course with field experience is taken in a given term, field experience requirements expand accordingly (i.e., two courses with 20 hours of field experience each require a total of 40 hours). Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college‐level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. The optional pre‐primary endorsement is also available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case‐by‐case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration. See the MAE program director for approval of graduate coursework accepted in transfer. Preprimary Endorsement for Elementary Licensure This endorsement can be added to a K‐6 elementary license. Required courses include the following: PSY 250 ‐ Child Development SOC 231 ‐ Family Systems: Cross Cultural Perspectives or SPE 490/540 ‐ Parent and Professional Planning (Graduate students take SPE 540.) ECE 345/545 ‐ Foundations of Preprimary Education ECE 346/546 ‐ Learning Environments for Preprimary‐Aged Children ECE 347/547 ‐ Immersion and Teaching Competence ECE 488, 489 ‐ Student Teaching: Preprimary K‐12 and 5‐12 Secondary Education K‐12 and 5‐12 licensures in several content areas are offered through a combination of graduate and undergraduate coursework. K‐12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5‐ 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate‐level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. The following content area majors are offered almost entirely on weekends, weekday evenings, and summer: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad‐based core of courses in the social studies in addition to 30 a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekends, weekday evenings, and summer. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas typically will need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9‐12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9‐12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekends and weekday evenings. Licensure Requirements The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to seven of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education. EDC 200/522 ‐ Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 ‐ Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 ‐ Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 ‐ Learners with Special Needs* EDC 490/580 ‐ School and Society ESE 325/525 ‐ Creating Learning Environments ESE 300/500 ‐ Reading and Writing in Content Area* EDC 591 ‐ Topics To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 ‐ Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 ‐ Educational Technology ESE 3XX ‐ K‐12 or 5‐12 Methods (in the content area)* ESE 481, 483, 485 ‐ Student Teaching: Secondary ESE 488 ‐ TPA and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience hours are required in these courses. A minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education‐related settings is required prior to student teaching. Students spend approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences. Undergraduate Content Area Requirements The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K‐12 and 5‐12 licenses. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with a completed academic major. Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case‐by‐case basis. Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program. See the MAE program director for approval to use graduate level transfer courses in the degree program. Special Education Augsburg College offers one licensure option in K–12 Special Education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS). This program qualifies students to teach in special education programs and positions working with students with mild to moderate disabilities in the areas of emotional/behavioral disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disabilities, developmental and cognitive disabilities and other health disabilities. This program is built on an inclusive education model. Under this model, students learn how to work closely with both special and general educators to facilitate inclusion of special education students into the regular education classroom. Five years after being licensed, teachers must extend their license in one of the above categories through additional coursework. 31 Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—This graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota‐Duluth as a hybrid (partly face‐to‐face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and www.augsburg.edu/mae/tribal‐special‐ education for more information. The ABS licensure program and the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program are offered through the weekend and summer schedules. Licensure Requirements Licensure requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Classes will include both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate students having additional course responsibilities. Graduate courses are taken at the 500 level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to seven courses may also be applied toward the master’s degree in education. The following courses for the ABS license are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels: EDC 200/522 ‐ Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 ‐ Diversity/Minnesota American Indians EDC 310/533 ‐ Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 ‐ Learners with Special Needs* EED 225/524 ‐ Foundations of Literacy EED 325/525 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Literacy* EED 350/550 ‐ K–6 Methods: Math* EED 360/560 ‐ K–6 Methods: Science* SPE 410/510 ‐ Implementing Assessment Strategies* SPE 411/511 ‐ Etiology and Theory of Mild to Moderate Disabilities SPE 415/515 ‐ Theory to Practice* SPE 425/525 ‐ Transition and Community* SPE 430/530 ‐ Instructional and Behavioral Practices* SPE 490/540 ‐ Parent and Professional Planning EDC 591 ‐ Topics To complete the ABS license students will also need to complete certain requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 ‐ Chemical Dependency Education MAT 137 ‐ Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I EDC 220 ‐ Education Technology EDC 330 ‐ Building the Public Good: Public Achievement and Organizing EDC 331 ‐ Practicum in Public Achievement EED 326 ‐ Elementary Reading K‐6 Field Experience* (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) SPE 481,483 ‐ Student Teaching: Elementary Special Education SPE 485, 487 ‐ Student Teaching: Secondary Special Education SPE 488 ‐ TPA and Student Teaching Seminar *Field experience required as part of this course. This program is based on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in special education classrooms to fulfill a portion of their special education field experience requirements while they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in special education settings. All must complete field placements or student teaching in classrooms serving these populations. Hours must be completed across elementary, middle school, and high school. Specific information on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department. Licensure Requirements—EBD/LD–Naadamaadiwin Special Education Tribal Cohort This program is available only at the graduate level. Courses are taught in a hybrid fashion, partially face‐to‐face and partially online. Courses are available only to those admitted to the special education tribal cohort program. 32 SPE 501 ‐ Historical and Contemporary Issues in American Indian Education SPE 503 ‐ Assessment of American Indian Learners SPE 504 ‐ Working with American Indian Families and Communities SPE 505 ‐ The Manifestation of Multigenerational Trauma and Internalized Oppression SPE 506 ‐ Indigenous Learners SPE 507 ‐ Indigenous Methods of Instruction: Practical Application SPE 508 ‐ Professional Issues and Development SPE 509 ‐ Literacy Instruction for American Indian Learners with Exceptionalities SPE 481, 483 ‐ Student Teaching: Elementary Special Education SPE 485, 487 – Student Teaching: Secondary Special Education EDC 591 ‐ Topics K‐12 English as a Second Language (ESL) License The K‐12 English as a Second Language license is available as an initial license as well as an endorsement to an existing license. This license qualifies teachers to work with K‐12 students for whom English is a second language across a range of subject areas. The K‐12 ESL licensure program is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate courses; up to six of the graduate courses can apply to the completion of the MAE degree. Graduate‐level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and have been admitted to the MAE program. A pre‐requisite to program admissions is two years of high school level or one year of college level language instruction. The K‐12 ESL program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face to face and online instruction. Classes are offered during the academic year in the weekend semester framework and during summer session to make them accessible to working adults. This license is also offered as an undergraduate major to weekend college students seeking a baccalaureate degree. The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure, and up to six also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education. EDC 200/522 ‐ Orientation to Education in an Urban Setting* EDC 206/566 ‐ Diversity/MN American Indians EDC 310/533 ‐ Learning and Development in an Educational Setting* EDC 410/544 ‐ Learners with Special Needs* EED 325/525 ‐ K‐6 Methods: Literacy* ESE 325/525 ‐ Creating Learning Environments* ESL 330/510 ‐ History and Structure of the English Language ESL 340/520 ‐ ESL Literacy* ESL 490/530 ‐ Language, Culture, and Schools ESL 420/540 ‐ ESL Methods* EDC 591 ‐ Topics To complete the license, students also will need to complete the following requirements at the undergraduate level: HPE 115 ‐ Chemical Dependency Education EDC 220 ‐ Educational Technology EED 326 ‐ Elementary Reading K‐6 Field Experience (taken concurrently with EED 325/525) ESL 310 ‐ Second Language Acquisition ESL 320 ‐ Introduction to Linguistics ESL 410 ‐ ESL Testing and Evaluation ESL 481, 483 ‐ Student Teaching: Elementary ESL 485, 487 ‐ Student Teaching: Secondary ESL 488 ‐ TPA and Student Teaching Seminar *This course has a 20 hour field experience attached to it. 33 K‐12 Reading Teacher Endorsement The K‐12 Reading Endorsement provides teachers with existing teaching licenses an opportunity to expand their knowledge and practice in the area of reading instruction and potentially provide leadership within schools and districts in reading instruction. Candidates for this license will complete five classes that have been designed to meet the requirements established for this license by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Students may use these courses to fulfill requirements for the Master of Arts in Education degree. The K‐12 Reading Teacher Endorsement program is offered in a hybrid format which means that courses are a mix of face‐to‐face and online instruction. Classes are offered during summer sessions and within the weekend format during the academic year. The endorsement program is designed to be completed within 12 months in a cohort model. Field experiences at elementary, middle school and high school levels are required; student teaching is not required. Required courses include: EDC 500 ‐ Reading Leadership in the K‐12 Schools EDC 506 ‐ Readership, Literature, and New Literacies EDC 515 ‐ Reading Leadership: Reading Theory and Research* EDC 535 ‐ Reading Leadership: Assessment and Instruction with Elementary Readers* EDC 545 ‐ Reading Leadership: Assessment and Instruction with Middle and High School Readers* *Field experience required Student Teaching Students are required to complete student teaching for initial and additional licenses (unless otherwise indicated). In the MAE program, student teaching is generally completed before finishing the degree. Students can apply for licensure at this point and finish the degree later. Student teaching for elementary, secondary, and K‐12 initial licenses lasts 12‐14 weeks, depending on licensure scope. During that time, students work full‐time as student teachers and are supervised by an Augsburg faculty member. Students register for eight to twelve semester credits of student teaching and a two semester credit TPA and student teaching seminar. They meet at Augsburg College for student teaching seminars several times during the term. Most student teaching placements are in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and Rochester. However, students do have the opportunity to student teach abroad, where students complete a 10‐week student teaching experience in the metro area and then complete another student teaching experience abroad. Opportunities to teach abroad are available around the world, and it is a wonderful way to build a global perspective in education. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for special education is 12 weeks in length for initial licenses and 7 weeks for those who already hold a license. For students who are working in a special education setting appropriate to the ABS license, a student teaching placement at that site may be possible, pending district approval. Additional information is available through the Education Department. Student teaching for ESL is 14 weeks in length and requires two placements, elementary and secondary. A single seven week placement is required for those who already hold a license. See the Education Department for more information. Student teaching is required for the preprimary endorsement and middle school endorsements. See the Education Department for more information.

Published January 2012 www.augsburg.edu A Greeting from the President I am pleased to know of your interest in Augsburg College’s exciting and innovative graduate programs. You are part of a select and discerning group of professionals who seek to find a graduate program that combines an excellent curriculum, a values-based approach to work, a talented and experienced faculty, and program formats that meet the needs of busy and successful people. Augsburg College’s graduate-level programs in Business Administration, Education, Leadership, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, and Social Work are distinguished by the opportunities they provide students to expand decision-making and strategic skills. Beginning in the fall of 2010, Augsburg is proud to offer its inaugural doctoral degree program—the Doctor in Nursing Practice program. Augsburg College is characterized by a strong mission: Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, and shaped by its urban and global settings. For our graduate programs, this mission helps to shape an innovative educational experience that features an expansive perspective on social responsibility, economic realities, business initiative, and environmental sustainability. At Augsburg College, we believe that our distinctive educational purpose is to help you, the individual student, find your calling at work and in the world. The Augsburg graduate programs are designed to offer you quality educational experiences, personal attention, and opportunities to expand your personal and professional talents and skills. We are confident that our graduates are prepared for leadership in our ever-changing global society, the hallmark of an Augsburg degree. Sincerely, Paul C. Pribbenow President, Augsburg College Augsburg College I 3 Greetings from the Academic Affairs Office Welcome to our graduate programs. We are committed to education that prepares people for leadership in their communities and places of work. We believe that the liberal and professional arts and sciences form the best preparation for living in the fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Our locations in the vital metropolitan areas of Minneapolis/St. Paul and Rochester offer exciting and challenging field experiences for courses that include real-life learning through academic internships, experiential education, and cultural enrichment. The Twin Cities and Rochester become extended campuses for Augsburg students. Also, the diversity in our campus community ensures that our graduates are prepared for the range of experiences and perspectives that characterize today’s global environment. When you join Augsburg you become part of a community that offers lifelong learning opportunities in state-of-the-art classrooms, with accessible libraries and dedicated faculty and staff. You join a body of experienced people who quickly form your network of employer connections and career opportunities. We encourage our alumni to become your mentors and build on our city connections through public events, including our convocations and Advent Vespers. All our programs share distinctive qualities, including our commitment and mission to be of service, with one another and to our neighbors. We expect our graduates to have their eyes on the world as they develop their identity as global citizens, with a sense of responsibility to participate in socially- and economically-sustainable development. We hope that at some time during your degree, you’ll explore the opportunities to participate in an international learning experience—for example, travel seminars to our global campuses in Central America, Mexico, and Namibia, and opportunities to meet visiting students and faculty members from our partner institutions in Norway, Germany, Finland, and Slovenia. Inspired by the faith of our Lutheran founders to be inclusive to the early immigrants who came to Augsburg’s doors, we welcome a diversity of cultures and faiths. Although each graduate program has its own “neighborhood” and unique features, we encourage interdisciplinary courses and opportunities for you to study with colleagues across disciplines. We encourage both “horizontal” initiatives—i.e., cross-program collaboration—as well as “vertical” initiatives—engaging our undergraduate students to consider graduate work. This means that sometimes you may be encouraging classmates who are just beginning to imagine a graduate degree. We are companions on your journey in fulfilling your dream of a graduate degree and we cannot wait to meet you. Sincerely, Barbara A.

Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, act ethically and communicate effectively in a global world. The heart of an Augsburg education is the Augsburg mission, informed by the liberal and professional arts and sciences, to serve our neighbors in the heart of the city with faith-based, ethical values. We welcome students from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Also, our programs look to the world through international courses and cultural exchanges. the following graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education (MAE)—see p. 20 Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL)—see p. 34 Master of Arts in Nursing (MAN)—see p. 43 Master of Business Administration (MBA)—see p. 54 Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies—see p. 61 Master of Social Work—see p. 68 Doctor of Nursing Practice—see p. 49 Mission Statement Augsburg is enhanced by its global centers in Namibia, Mexico, and Central America. Students can perform research, take courses, or consult with faculty in those locations to gain new perspectives on their discipline. Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community, 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 our urban and global settings. Augsburg Today Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. A short history of Augsburg College can be found at www.augsburg.edu/about/history.html Today, Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of its founders who believed: • Education should have a solid liberal arts core at the graduate level; this focus centers on the ability to think critically and broadly about the world and the work we do in it; • An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and centers of faith; • The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning environment. The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.” Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society. Degrees Offered Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences is offered on both a traditional weekday schedule and a nontraditional weekend and evening schedule. Augsburg offers Dual degrees: BA in accounting/MAL—see p. 40 MSW/MBA—see p. 58 and 76 MSW/MA in theology, with Luther Seminary—see p. 75 A Community of Learners Essential to the goals of Augsburg’s graduate programs is participation in a community of adult learners. This community is enriched by the presence of men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages students to make use of all College facilities such as Lindell Library, the Kennedy Center, and the Christensen Center, and to participate in College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. Graduate Faculty The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree, and all consider teaching and service to be the focus of their activity at the College. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but these support and are secondary to their teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a dynamic faculty development program that introduces them to best practices in teaching and learning techniques and theories. Augsburg’s small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities.

As a College requirement, student course projects, papers, and examinations may include a statement by the student pledging to abide by the College’s academic honesty policies and to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. (See Augsburg’s Academic Honesty Policy in the Student Guide at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide/) Academic Evaluation Evaluation of academic performance in each program will be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale, where 4.0 achieves highest standards of excellence. See each program for details of field study and special projects. Students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. The numeric grade point definition for Graduate Studies is: 4.0 grade points Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.5 grade points Achieves above acceptable standards 3.0 grade points Meets acceptable standards 2.5 grade points Meets minimum standards 2.0–0.0 grade points Unacceptable performance P Represents work at 3.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average) N No credit (not counted in grade point average) V Audit W Withdrawn I Incomplete X In progress, extended beyond term of registration Withdrawn Status W—Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record Graduate Catalog I 12 Incomplete (I) Grades An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final day of the following academic term in the student’s program. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade for the course becomes 0.0. Academic Probation Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed on academic probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be restored in order for a student to be removed from probation. Graduate students in the Physician Assistan must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. Attendance Policy Attendance and participation are critical to the success of any course. Evaluation of the level and quality of participation may be incorporated into the course grade. We view attendance as a joint commitment of both instructors and students to our professional development. Each instructor has the authority to specify attendance and participation requirements to address the needs of particular courses, individual students, or various learning styles. Lack of attendance may result in a failing grade and the requirement to repeat the course. Students must notify the professor in advance of any expected absence. In the case of emergency, when prior notification is not possible, students must notify the professor of an absence as soon as possible. Continuation Policy for Thesis or Final Project (effective in fall 2010) Following the initial registration term for the final (or summative or capstone) project, students will be automatically registered for continuation course 999 each trimester for up to 15 trimesters or until a grade for the completion course is submitted by the project adviser. Continuation course 999 maintains students’ active status in the graduate program, in- Academic Programs and Policies cluding library, AugNet, and parking privileges. This registration will result in a Campus Access Fee of $35 (subject to change as costs increase) per trimester. Doctor of Nursing Practice—For information about course credits and contact hours for the Doctor of Nursing program, see p. 49. Automatic registration will occur for up to five years or 15 terms. At the end of this time, the course grade will change from X to N. Students who wish to complete the final project after receiving a failing grade must meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students who are readmitted may need to complete additional course work and will need to pay full tuition for all additional courses and to repeat the final project course. If/when the final project course is completed, the new grade would supersede the previous grade. Degree Requirements Students may withdraw from the College, and thus from continuation course 999 and the final project course, at any point during the continuation period and receive a W notation on the transcript for the final project course. Following a withdrawal, students are welcome to meet with the program director to evaluate readmission to the College and program. Students may be subject to additional coursework. An accounts receivable hold will be placed on the student’s account if a collegewide $250 unpaid threshold is reached. The threshold will adjust with the practices of the Student Accounts Office. If a student owes more than the threshold amount, the registrar’s office will not continue to automatically enroll the student in continuation 999. The registrar’s office and the Student Accounts Office will inform the student, the program director, and coordinator that the student must pay the account (including the late fee). At this point coordinators and/or program directors will communicate with the student and the faculty adviser and, if necessary, request that the faculty adviser submit a grade change of N. The student also may elect to withdraw from the College. If the grade change has not been submitted within one term, the program director will submit the grade change of N. This policy is effective as of September 2010. Students will sign a contract outlining the terms of the continuation policy, which will be kept on file with the program and in the Office of the Registrar. Accumulated charges stand for current students, but beginning in fall 2010 students will be charged $35 per term. The Enrollment Center will work with students, as needed, who are currently in the continuation phase and who have accumulated a debt higher than the $250 threshold. Course credit and contact hours A full credit course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course on the trimester schedule meets for approximately 28 contact hours (MSW trimesters meet for 32 hours, and the PA weekday semester schedule is approximately 45 hours) with the expectation of substantial independent and group study offered through the web-based electronic course management system. To be conferred the graduate degree, all graduate students must achieve the following: • Successful completion of all required courses • A cumulative GPA of 3.0; Physician Assistant students must consult the PA Program Progression Standards Policy. • Successful completion of all degree requirements within the stipulated period of matriculation or a signed continuation agreement with Augsburg College. Dismissal from the College A student whose GPA falls below the required GPA for his/her graduate program (3.0 in most programs) in two or more terms may be subject to probation or dismissal. A plan for the student to continue in the program may be worked out with the program director. Students may also be dismissed for violation of standards of behavior defined by their profession, their program, or the College. Dismissal Appeals Process A student may appeal a program’s dismissal decision using the College’s program dismissal appeals process. Appeals are limited to procedural errors that the student can demonstrate negatively affected the outcome. The student initiates the appeal process by submitting a hard copy of the statement of appeal to the Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Graduate Studies (AVP-Graduate Studies); email is not acceptable. The statement must identify each procedural error and state how each error negatively affected the outcome. The statement of appeal will be the only basis of the student’s appeal. The AVP-Graduate Studies must receive the student’s statement of appeal within 14 calendar days of the date on the department’s written notification of dismissal. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the statement of appeal to the program chair/director. The program must submit a response to the student’s statement of appeal within 15 business days of the date that the statement was received by the AVP-Graduate Studies’ office. A hard copy of the program’s response should be submitted to the AVP-Graduate Studies. The AVP-Graduate Studies will send a copy of the program’s response to the student. The AVP-Graduate Studies will convene the Program Dismissal Appeals Committee, which will include the AVP-Graduate Studies as a non-voting chair and three program faculty members (one from programs not named in the appeal: Social Work, Education, Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Business, Leadership). Augsburg College I 13 Academic Programs and Policies The Program Dismissal Appeals Committee will schedule its hearing within 15 business days of receipt of the program’s statement of response. The Committee will meet with the student and a program representative to review the procedures and ask questions of both the student and the program representative. The student and program representative may each bring a third party to the review meeting (limited to an Augsburg College faculty member, staff member, or student). The role of the third party representative is to provide support to the student or the program representative, not to serve as an advocate during the meeting. Dropping Courses or Withdrawing Students who enroll in courses but later decide not to attend must formally drop their courses through the registrar’s office prior to the start of classes to avoid being charged for those courses. Students who do not properly drop courses will be responsible for the tuition, regardless of non-attendance. Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or in person at the Enrollment Center during hours of operation. If you need assistance with this, contact your program faculty at least two days in advance of the start of classes. Independent Study Students may request to complete an independent study course as an addition to the required coursework. A faculty sponsor is required for an independent study project, and project proposals must be approved by the program director in order to receive credit. Normally, independent study may not be used as a replacement for a standard course offered in the curriculum, with the exception of the general elective (if approved). A special independent study registration form is required and is available at the Enrollment Center. Terms of Non-attendance Students who interrupt their program enrollment for longer than one semester or three trimesters must readmit to the College and program to resume their degree program. For an absence of any length, students should coordinate with their program director prior to leaving. Due to a variety of program schedules and cohorts for some degrees, it is required that students meet with their adviser and obtain the advice of their director. Evaluation of Transfer Credit Students may petition the program director for transfer credit to apply to program requirements. The transfer of credit will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students will be asked to provide appropriate documentation regarding previous coursework, including but not limited to an official transcript, course description, and syllabus. In order to be considered for transfer, a course must be from a regionally-accredited college or university and graded 3.0/B or better. Courses must have been taken at the graduate level and course content must be comparable to program requirements at Augsburg. Graduate Catalog I 14 The maximum number of course credits that can be transferred to these program is as follows: Master of Arts in Education (2.0) Master of Arts in Leadership (2.0) Master of Arts in Nursing (3.0) Master of Business Administration (6.0) Master of Science, Physician Assistant Studies (Contact program coordinator) Master of Social Work (8.0) Augsburg course credits are equivalent to four semester hours or six quarter hours. Therefore, transfer credits that are reported to Augsburg as semester or quarter hours are converted to Augsburg course credits by dividing by four or six respectively. Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are recorded on the student’s transcript. Grades and gradepoints from other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average. Student Rights The College has adopted a statement of student rights and responsibilities and has provided for due process in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg Student Guide, at www.augsburg.edu/studentguide. Students have a right to experience education without discrimination. Grievance Procedures Involving Augsburg College Faculty Members and Students Part I—Introduction/Preface Augsburg College is committed to a policy of treating fairly all members of the college community in regard to their personal and professional concerns. However, times do occur in which students think they have been mistreated. This procedure is provided in order to ensure that students are aware of the way in which their problems with faculty members can be resolved informally and to provide a more formal conciliation process when needed. Each student must be given adequate opportunity to bring problems to the attention of the faculty with the assurance that each will be given fair treatment. The faculty member must be fully informed of the allegations and given an opportunity to respond to them in a fair and reasonable manner. Definition of Grievance A grievance is defined as dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any conduct or condition affecting her/him is unjust or inequitable, or creates unnecessary hardship. Such grievances include, but are not limited to a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of an academic rule, regulation, or policy of the College or prejudicial, capricious, or manifestly unjust academic evaluation. Academic Programs and Policies College policies and procedures that do not come within the scope of the Grievance Procedures are the sexual harassment policy, the sexual violence policy, the Committee on Financial Petitions, Discipline Process, and Academic Standing. Time Limits Time limits will include only business days (M–F) for the program in which the student was enrolled. (Weekends, and vacation days are not included; summer may not be included depending on the student’s program.) Part II—Informal Process It is always the student’s responsibility to know these procedures and timelines and to follow them. A. Any time a student feels that she/he has been mistreated by a faculty member, the student should contact the faculty member to discuss the problem and attempt to resolve it. B. If no mutually satisfactory solution can be reached with the faculty member or if, in unusual circumstances, the student prefers not to confer with the faculty member, the student should discuss the problem with the department chairperson of the faculty member and attempt resolution of the problem. C. If the problem cannot be resolved in discussions with the faculty member or department chairperson, or if the faculty member and the department chairperson are the same individual, the student may contact the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • In unusual circumstances, the time limit may be extended by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. A grievant or respondent must submit a written request for such extension before the end of the time limit. If the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College thinks the extension is warranted, the Dean will notify all concerned persons in writing. E. If the grievance has been resolved, either by agreement or by expiration of the time limits, a copy of the informal grievance and statements of the resolution will be kept by the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College for one year. Neither a copy of nor any reference to the grievance will be placed in the personnel file of the respondent. If these informal discussions do not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the student, a more formal conciliation procedure is available in Part III of this document. Note: A student must file a written grievance, per below, within five days after completion of the informal process Part III—Formal Process Preface If a student has a grievance with a faculty member that has not been resolved through the Informal Grievance Process described in Part II of this document, the student may then seek resolution through formal procedures. For a complete copy of the procedures, contact the dean’s office, Academic Affairs. D. The student must begin the Informal Grievance process within 15 days of the conduct giving rise to the grievance, by submitting an Informal Grievance Form to the vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College. • The time limit to begin the Informal Grievance process for a grade appeal will be 30 days from the last published finals date for the relevant term. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain a correct and current address on file with the registrar. • If the student could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct when it occurred, the student will have 15 days to file the grievance from the date on which the student could reasonably be expected to be aware of the conduct or condition that is the basis for the grievance. It is the responsibility of the student to establish the reasonableness of such non–awareness. The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College will determine if this paragraph applies to a grievant. • The vice president of academic affairs and dean of the College and the student must ensure the informal process is completed in 20 days. (See Part I for definition of time limits.)

An F-1 student is a nonimmigrant who is pursuing a “full course of study” to achieve a specific educational or professional objective at an academic institution in the United States that has been designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to offer courses of study to such students, and has been enrolled in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). A student acquires F-1 status using form I-20, issued by a DHS-approved school through SEVIS. Status is acquired in one of two ways: 1) if the student is abroad, by entering the United States with the I-20 and an F-1 visa obtained at a U.S. consulate, or 2) if the student is already in the United States and not currently in F-1 status, by sending the I-20 to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) with an application for change of nonimmigrant status. A student who is maintaining valid F-1 status may transfer from another DHS-approved school to Augsburg by following the transfer procedures set forth in the F-1 regulations. In addition to fulfilling all general admission requirements for a particular graduate program, prospective F-1 students must also comply with the following: A. Foreign Credential Evaluation Augsburg requires foreign credential evaluation for any transcript(s) from an institution outside of the United States. This evaluation should include the following: • Analysis of credentials—to determine if your degree is equivalent to an accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree. • Course-by-course evaluation—to show your complete course listing with credit values and grades received for each course. • Calculation of grade point average—to demonstrate your Graduate Admissions cumulative grade point average using the standard U.S. grading system, i.e., A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. • Translation to English (if applicable) The evaluation report must be sent directly to Augsburg’s Adult and Graduate Admissions Office. Refer to World Education Services at http://wes.org for direction on transcript evaluation. B. Proof of Financial Support International applicants must provide reliable documentation that they have financial resources adequate to meet expenses for the duration of their academic program, which include tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance, personal expenses, and living expenses for dependents (if applicable). Funds may come from any dependable source, including scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or funds from the student’s family. Documentation of scholarships and fellowships may be in the form of an official award letter from the school or sponsoring agency; documentation of personal or family funds should be on bank letterhead stationery, or in the form of a legally binding affidavit. Government Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, or Augsburg’s Financial Sponsorship form can be used to document support being provided by a U.S. citizen or U.S. legal permanent resident. All financial documents such as bank statements must be dated within three months prior to the date of application. Health Insurance All F-1 international students and their dependents (if applicable) are required to have adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of their program. International students will be enrolled in the Augsburg international student plan unless they fill out a waiver verifying proof of coverage through an alternative provider for the same period. Augsburg College I 17 Financing Your Education Financing Your Education Costs for Graduate Studies Sponsored Scholarships Each academic year the Augsburg Board of Regents reviews costs and makes changes as required. The College reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate. Augsburg actively pursues non-Augsburg funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships may enable the participation of individuals with limited financial means as well as individuals working for volunteer agencies and other organizations not likely to provide tuition reimbursement. Refer to the program sections or contact the programs for more information. For current academic year costs for graduate study, go to the Enrollment Center webpage at www.augsburg.edu/enroll. Financing Your Education Financial assistance is available to graduate students who are enrolled in a total of at least 1.0 course credit per term in any of Augsburg’s graduate programs. Two full-credit courses per term is considered full time. You may be eligible to finance your education through loan programs from the State of Minnesota or the federal government. You may also select from a variety of payment plans available each semester or trimester, including a plan for those who receive company tuition assistance. Financial aid may be used for international programs where credit is offered. Payment Options Various payment plans are available: • Payment in full: Due after registration and before the beginning of the semester/trimester. No finance charge or administrative fee. Finance charge of 8% APR will apply toward any unpaid balance after the start of the term. • Loans, grants, and/or scholarships: If you plan to use the loans that you have been awarded, you must request the funding. These loans include Stafford, PLUS, Alternative/Private, etc. All loan requests (either paper or online) must be received and approved by the lender and certified by Augsburg’s financial aid office, on or before the first day of the term. Company Reimbursement An application for the Employer Reimbursement Payment Plan must be filed once each academic year. Students enrolled in the payment plan will be charged a $20 fee each term unless the account is paid in full by the start of the term or if financial aid will cover all costs for the term. This fee is non-refundable after the 100% drop date. Final payment on any remaining balance is due 60 days after the end of the course. Accounts not paid in full by the due date will receive a monthly $50 late payment fee and are subject to further collection efforts. The student is responsible for payment if the employer does not pay for any reason.

Finanical Policies Refund Schedule Students who withdraw from Augsburg College may be eligible for a refund of a portion of their charges based on the appropriate refund schedule (except for the minimum charge of $100 to cover administrative costs). Financial aid may also be adjusted for those students who withdraw from the College or drop one or more courses and receive financial assistance. [NOTE: Tuition refunds and financial aid adjustments are not necessarily made on a one-to-one basis. For example, you could receive a 60% tuition refund but have 80% of your financial aid returned. Be sure you understand the financial consequences of making adjustments to your registration.] Students are responsible for canceling courses through the Enrollment Center in order to be eligible for any refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed. The refund schedule is effective whether or not a student has attended classes. All refunds of charges will be applied to the student account and all adjustments for aid, loans, fines, deposits, etc. will be made before eligibility for a cash refund of any resulting credit balance is determined. Allow two weeks for a refund. The refund is a percentage of the full tuition charged, not a percentage of any deposit paid toward tuition, e.g. deposits made under the employer reimbursement payment plan.

Augsburg has a long history in teacher education with alumni of our programs teaching throughout Minnesota and elsewhere. We know that Augsburg College is an excellent choice for you to pursue your teaching dreams and goals—and here’s why. OUR PHILOSOPHY The Education Department program themes include relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. You can read about each theme on the following page, but for the MAE program, I want to highlight one of the program themes—leadership. As this program theme suggests, we expect our students to leave our programs as responsive, knowledgeable teachers prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom and, eventually, the school and community. Our urban setting provides yet another dimension to our programs through a combination of course content, field experiences, and classroom instructors. Our goal is that students will leave our programs as collaborative and capable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. OUR FACULTY Augsburg faculty members who teach in the MAE program are a mix of full-time and adjunct instructors, all of whom have K-12 teaching experience. Many adjunct instructors are currently teaching in K-12 settings; all fulltime faculty members are frequent visitors to K-12 settings through student teaching and field experience supervision, volunteer work, and/or in-service education. We understand the importance of what we do and what you hope to do. We value good teaching and, most especially, we value good teachers. OUR ACCESSIBILITY We realize that although teaching is your dream, your reality most likely includes work, family, and personal responsibilities. Because we understand the demands adult students face, we offer flexible scheduling. A majority of licensure and graduate-level courses are taught in the evenings and weekends to allow you to manage these responsibilities while pursuing your goals. You will need to be available during the weekday for the challenge and responsibility of field experiences, but education coursework is accessible through the weekend and evening schedules. As a student in Augsburg’s Master of Arts in Education licensure and degree program, you will find yourself among interesting students and dedicated professors who believe that all children deserve a good, highly qualified teacher—the teacher you can become. Vicki L. Olson, PhD Director, Master of Arts in Education Graduate Catalog I 20 Master of Arts in Education Education Department Mission The mission of the Augsburg Education Department is to develop responsive, knowledgeable teachers committed to educating all learners in a diverse and changing world. Program Themes Responsive, knowledgeable teachers understand the dynamic interaction among relationships, reflection and inquiry, diversity and equity, and leadership. These four interrelated program themes provide lenses through which we filter our practice. Relationships Learning is relational and communal. Responsive teachers create significant relationships with their students, colleagues, and community partners by developing learning communities. These nurturing learning communities provide a safe, trustworthy place where challenging and engaging questions can be considered. We model the kinds of learning communities that we expect our graduates to create. We share with our students a learning model that connects content, theory, and practice in an ongoing cycle. Students and their learning are the focus for responsive teachers. Therefore we embrace and foster a progressive and constructivist orientation. Reflection and Inquiry Responsive teachers are reflective practitioners who are students of teaching and learning. Providing numerous frameworks through which to filter our experience encourages intentional and thoughtful inquiry. Through field placements, service learning, generative questions, and classroom experiences, students and faculty develop their perspectives about teaching and learning. Critical reflection allows us to examine content, theory, and practice in ways that transform our practice. We think it is important to understand and learn how to manage the many polarities inherent in the teaching and learning process. Diversity and Equity Responsive teachers embrace diversity and intentionally work to ensure that all learners, especially those who for some reason have been marginalized, learn and develop in powerful ways. We continually reflect on what it means to be a “school in the city.” We recognize that each student is unique, shaped by culture and experience; therefore, differentiating instruction is essential. The perspective of multiple intelligences, learning style theory and teaching for understanding help us differentiate and enable us to provide choice, variety, and flexibility. Responsive teachers believe that all students can learn. They also have a sense of efficacy and believe that they can help all students learn. Leadership Responsive teachers recognize that becoming a learning leader is a developmental process, which begins in pre-service edu- cation and continues throughout one’s career. Teachers serve as leaders within the classroom, and with experience, increased confidence, and professional development become leaders within the school, the district, and the community. Teacher leaders view themselves as lifelong learners. They become role models committed to their profession as a vocation rather than a job. Emerging teacher leaders keep student learning at the center of their work while advocating for instructional innovation, constructivist curricular development, and systemic change. Master of Arts in Education Conceptual Framework Teacher leadership is the theme that threads through our graduate licensure and degree completion programs. The Augsburg Education Department believes that teachers are leaders in their classrooms and should be leaders in their institutions and communities. The leadership focus plays out in three ways. First, the additional work required in the graduate versions of the combined undergraduate/graduate courses focuses on providing graduate students the chance to exercise leadership as well as extend their knowledge beyond the basic requirements. Second, in the degree completion component, students are required to include coursework focused on leadership and study aspects of leadership as part of their degree program. Third, the final project—be it an action research, a leadership application project, or the performance assessment course—gives students the opportunity to study an issue of concern and, supported by research, define a means for addressing it. Program Overview The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) is designed to provide a teaching license as part of a master’s degree program. K-12 initial teaching licenses offered at Augsburg include: • Elementary education (K-6), with or without a middle school specialty area endorsement in math, communication arts, social studies, or science. Also available is the pre-primary endorsement to the elementary license. • Secondary education (5-12 and K-12) in social studies, communication arts/literature, visual arts, health, mathematics, music, and physical education; and 9-12 in biology, chemistry, and physics. • K-12 special education, emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education, learning disabilities Teachers who are already licensed can work towards the MAE degree through the following four licensure endorsement options: • Pre-Kindergarten endorsement • K-12 special education: emotional and behavioral disabilities • K-12 special education: learning disabilities • K-12 reading endorsement (This program is under revision. Consult the Education Department for current status.) Augsburg College I 21 Master of Arts in Education All teachers seeking licensure through Augsburg must take and pass all tests required by the state of Minnesota for licensure. The MAE degree is also available without a license but with an education core.

Additional licenses in the following areas are available through a combination of weekday, weekday evening, and weekend schedules: biology, chemistry, health, mathematics, music, physical education, and physics. For these licenses, the education and degree completion courses are taken during the weekend and weekday evenings while some if not all of the content area courses are taken during the weekday. The weekend schedule is comprised of three trimesters spread from early September through late June. In general, classes are held every other weekend. The weekday schedule is comprised of two semesters spread from early September through late April. Classes offered during the weekday meet two or three times per week. Classes offered jointly between weekday and weekend meet on a weekly basis in the evening. The official academic calendars can be found at www.augsburg.edu/registrar. Program Structure The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) program is made up of a core of education licensure courses coupled with a degree completion option. Courses in the degree completion phase are drawn from the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) and graduate courses in education. Most students in the MAE program pursue a K-12 teaching license as part of their program plan. The MAE degree is also open to students who do not want a teaching license but do want a background in education and leadership. The MAE degree requires 9.0 or 10.0 Augsburg graduate level courses, depending on the degree completion option. In addition, several courses at the undergraduate level are required for licensure. Only courses taken at the graduate level apply towards the MAE degree. Course Credit A full-credit graduate or undergraduate course (1.0) is equal to four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each full course offered within the weekend schedule meets for 28 hours with the expectation of substantial independent study outside of class. Schedule The majority of the education courses in the MAE licensure and degree programs are offered through the weekend schedule. Some education courses and many undergraduate content area courses are offered on a weekday evening schedule. The MAL degree completion courses are offered primarily through the weekend schedule. Summer session courses are offered weekdays and weekday evenings. The following teaching licenses are available entirely through the weekday evening and weekend schedule: elementary education, middle school and preprimary specialty Graduate Catalog I 22 Curriculum—Teaching Licenses K-6 Elementary Education This program is designed to prepare teachers for grades K-6. Optional endorsements in middle school specialty areas of math, science, social studies, and communication arts and in pre-kindergarten can be pursued along with or separately from the K-6 license. The teaching license and some endorsements are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels through a mix of undergraduate courses and combined graduate and undergraduate courses. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. All of the following courses must be taken for K-6 elementary licensure. Up to six courses may be taken at the graduate (500) level and applied toward the MAE degree.

Undergraduate Liberal Arts Requirements The number of supporting content area courses required for licensure depends upon the courses completed as part of the bachelor’s degree and/or other coursework. Requirements are determined by Minnesota licensure standards for specific college-level coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science for all students seeking elementary licensure. Specific requirements are on file in the Education Department. Minnesota licensure standards allow for optional subject area endorsements in communication arts/literature, social studies, math, and science. The optional pre-K endorsement is also available. Specific requirements for these endorsements are on file in the Education Department. Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. The Education Department and the content area departments determine the courses that are accepted. Transcripts, course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make these determinations. Courses that are older than five years are judged on a case-by-case basis. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree. The program has limits on the amount and type of courses that are accepted. Grades of B or better are required for transfer consideration.

K-12 licenses prepare teachers to teach a content area across elementary, middle school, and high school. Licenses for grades 5- 12 prepare teachers to teach at the middle and high school levels. Graduate-level licensure coursework (500 and above) is available to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and meet MAE admissions criteria. The following content area majors are offered almost entirely on weekends and weekday evenings: communication arts/literature, history or economics or psychology or sociology (all for social studies), art. Students seeking 5–12 licensure in social studies must complete a broad-based core of courses in the social studies in addition to a social science major. Education courses for these licenses are also taken during weekends and weekday evenings. The following content area majors are offered primarily or entirely through the weekday program: biology, chemistry, physics, health, physical education, music, and mathematics. Students seeking licensure in any of these areas will likely need to take additional content courses in the weekday schedule. Students can obtain a 9–12 license in physics, chemistry, or biology and have the option of adding the 5–8 general science to the 9–12 license. Students also can obtain the 5–8 general science license without the 9–12 license. Education courses for these licenses are taken during weekends and weekday evenings. Licensure Requirements The following requirements are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. All courses must be taken for licensure; four to six of them also may be taken at the graduate level and applied toward the master’s degree in education.

Undergraduate Content Area Requirements The equivalent of a major in the licensure content area is required for K-12 and 5-12 licenses. Students who have majored in a field in which we offer licensure must have their previous coursework evaluated by the major department at Augsburg. Two or more content area courses tied to Minnesota licensure standards are generally required, even with a completed academic major. Previous coursework is evaluated by the content area department and accepted if it meets Minnesota licensure standards and if a grade of C or better was achieved. Coursework older than five years is judged on a case-by-case basis. Specific course requirements for each content area are on file in the Education Department. Graduate coursework accepted into the licensure program is not automatically accepted into the MAE degree program.

Special Education There are two licensure options in the K–12 Special Education program: emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD) and learning disabilities (LD). Both programs qualify students to teach in special education programs and positions; many students get licensure in both. The MAE program with licensure in special education is based on an innovative internship model that allows students employed in EBD and/or LD classrooms to fulfill a portion of their special education field experience requirements while they work. Students not employed in these settings are expected to complete a significant number of volunteer hours in special education settings. All must complete field placements or student teaching in EBD and/or LD classrooms across elementary, middle school, and high school. Specific information on field experience requirements is available from the Education Department. Also available is the Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort—This graduate licensure program in Special Education: EBD/LD is designed and taught from an American Indian perspective. It is offered in collaboration with the University of Minnesota-Duluth as a hybrid (partly face-to-face and partly online) cohort program. The licensure courses can be applied towards the MAE degree. See the Education Department and www.augsburg/edu/mae/academics/ais_focus.html for more information. The course descriptions are included below. The EBD/LD licensure programs are offered through the weekend trimester schedule. The Naadamaadiwin Tribal Special Education Cohort program is offered through the semester schedule.

It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. The Adult as Student The Augsburg Weekend College program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends To accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate weekends for three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each class selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Weekend College students may take from one to four different courses by attending class every other weekend.
