Augsburg College
Education
in a Real World
S
tudents commonly speak of graduating from college as a
way of getting into "the real world." 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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:

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

year to help you grow in understanding of yourself and your relationship to others.

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

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

sign the housing contract. The fee is credited to the students' accounts
when they move into the residence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

H Social Work and Community Services in
Great Britain
SWK 346-48059
Instructor: Rosemary Link
Great Britain is an exciting mixture of ancient and modern
- ancient in its culture and modern in its social policies.
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.

Introduction
Introduction to Interim
The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with fall and spring
semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week
January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time for both
students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning
and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not
possible during the regular term. The College is changing its
calendar next year to a 4-4 calendar so January Interim 2002
will be the last opportunity to take an Interim course.
Freshmen are required to take an Interim course their first
year. All other current students are expected to complete the
two interims required for graduation.
Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a
single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of
time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should
be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and
should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of
study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3 112
weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. While it is
expected that students will attend every class period,
instructors will establish the precise attendance policy for
their courses. Students can register for only one course credit
during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who
chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
PassINo credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on
the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
students must select which is most appropriate for their
needs. Students registering for upper division credit should
anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous
grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel
requirements, have additional fees associated with them.
These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and
students should check with the instructor to verify the final
costs.
Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a
total of 1.0 course credit. They may take two half-credit
classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The
lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time
students (fall term). If less than full time, they will be charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a
cross registration and will be charged WEC tuition $1321 per
course credit and a $25 technology fee. If they do so, they may
petition to take an additional 1.0 course credit in Weekend
College for winter trimester.
Augsburg College, as afirmed in its mission, does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national
or ethnic origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status,
status with regard to public assistance, or disability in its
education policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan
programs, athletic andlor school administered programs, except
in those instances where religion is a bona fide occupational
qualification. Augsburg College is committed to providing
reasonable accommodations to its employees and its students.
Any questions concerning Augsburg's compliance with federal or
state regulations implementing equal access and opportunity can

Introduction to Polymer Chemistry and
American Plastic
CHM 104-J
Instructor: Ron Fedie
Previously there was the Stone Age, Iron Age, and Bronze Age.
Now we live in the Age of Polymers (and Plastics). Without
this innovative technology, life as we know it would be much
different. The variety of polymer molecules and their
properties make up many, diverse plastics and the variations
are endless. Many items and materials in the areas of
coatings, adhesives, leisure/sports equipment,
building/construction, automobiles, furniture, clothes,
medical supplies, cosmetics, and others that are used everyday
come from different polymeric materials made from polymer
molecules. In this course we will explore and discuss the
world of polymer chemistry. Polyethylene is one of the most
commonly used synthetic polymers in "plastic" wrap and
trash bags. A common natural polymer, polyisoprene, is
collected from the sap of rubber trees and tires, golf balls, and
latex gloves are just some of the many uses. The class will
focus on two books. One, American Plastic: A Cultural
History, by Jeffrey Meikle, for the historical perspective of our
world of polymers. Themes from the book, the different
types of polymers used, and recent themes such as the
recycling of plastics will be discussed. A second book, Giant
Molecules, by Grosberg and Khokhlov, will help with the
previously mentioned themes and give more depth to the
broad world of polymers not covered in Meikle's book. There
will be six lab periods in which some polymer molecules will
be made and several of their interesting properties will be
explored. Students will be graded on 25 group worksheets,
six quizzes, six reflection papers, six lab periods, and an
individual project and presentation.

Topics: Investigating the Victorian
Thriller
ENG 282-D
ENG 482-D
Instructor: Dallas Liddle
This course will study the phenomenon in 19-century Britain
of the popular novel of suspense, mystery, and terror. From
Frankenstein early in the century to Dracula at its end, the
nightmares imagined by novelists of Great Britain have
continued to interest and horrify readers throughout the 20th
century. Early in the century these tales were generally either
"Gothic" (stories of horror and the supernatural set in Italy
or Spain) or "Newgate" novels (true-crime stories about the
lower classes). By the 1860's however, popular novelists
including Charles Dickens, Mary Braddon, Eliza Wood, and
Wilkie Collins were producing a stunningly successful series
of works in which the action was set in the everyday world of
the Victorian middle classes, and the villains (as one reviewer
remarked) seemed like people the reader might meet at
dinner. Often challenging and sometimes subversive, these
novels drew intense public scrutiny by raising issues that the
politer genre of domestic fiction could hardly hint at
including gender roles and sexual transgression, class and
race oppression, obsession and madness, and the dark sides
of urban life, industrial poverty, and empire. We will read
several of the best of these thrillers, at the same time actively
investigating the culture that produced them. We will read
original reviews and responses, including parodies, and learn
about the context of newspaper and magazine journalism in
which several of the novels appeared. While we investigate
the power of the Gothic and Sensation genres for their
original audiences, however, we will also work to determine
why these novels have continued to appeal to successive
generations of readers. Course grades will be based on class
attendance and participation, two short papers, a group
presentation, and a final exam. Upper-level students will read
one additional novel, write a research-based paper on it, and
share the results of their research with the class.

Environmental and River Politics
POL 241-J
Instructor: Joe Underhill-Cady
We live and work on the shores of the largest river in North
America. It is the reason the Twin Cities are located where
they are, and it continues to define the city, as human
settlement here in turn has profoundly shaped the river
ecosystem. Of late in cities across America there has been "a
return to the river," and in this class we will be doing the
same. The river stands as a remarkable symbol for the
community, of continuity and change, of cycles and
transformation, of the power and beauty of the natural
world, and there is much to be learned from studying it.
Using the Mississippi as the focus, this course looks at the
changes in thinking about the relationship between humanity
and the natural world, as the relationship has been expressed
in literature, law, science, religion, political philosophy, and
popular culture. Particular attention will be paid to legal and
cultural conceptions of the natural world, including the ideas
of property and ownership. We will explore the distinction
between wilderness and civilization and the political function
of the line dividing those two realms.

Cultures of Violence
SOC 290-J
Instructor: James Vela-McConnell
Street gangs and warfare. Police brutality and genocide.
Domestic abuse and terrorism. What are the dynamics
underlying these and other forms of violence? What do they
have in common? How do they differ? This course takes
violence in its many forms as a topic for sociological analysis
and concludes with an examination of non-violent
alternatives. With this in mind, we will compare different
theoretical perspectives on violence, such as psychological,
social psychological, and socio-cultural perspectives. The
course will involve a combination of lecture and discussion
based on readings and videos, debate of current issues in the
field, and guest speakers from and field trips to local
organizations dealing with problems of violence. Students
will be expected to research, write about, and present on the
sociological dimensions of a particular form of violence. In
addition, there will be short reaction papers based on the
readings, and classroom participation will be an important
part of grading. This course has a lab fee of $25 payable the
first day of class to the instructor.
Prerequisite: None

Topics: The Sociology of Social
Movements
SOC 295-J
Instructor: Lars Christiansen
Scores of social movements have shaped and challenged the
social, political, and economic institutions of the United
States. Many of these protest movements seek to change the
established social order; some seek its defense and
preservation. This course offers the sociological study of
social movements in the United States within the last two
centuries. We will explore important question such as: Why
do people engage in protests at certain times, while at other
times reamin silent? Why are people willing to risk their lives
to create social change? How do social movements form, and
what causes their decline? Is the use of violence an effective
means of establishing social change? We will address these
and other crucial questions through a systematic study of
several social movements including labor, civil rights,
feminist, environmentalist, and anti-global capital
movements.

Inside Washington 2002:
Academic seminars
Politics and the Media
Politics, Power, and the Presidency
January 6-1 8, 2001
Pol 398-A(l.O Credit)
January 2002 marks the end of President Bush's first year in office
and the beginning of the race for the congressional midterm
elections that may mean a party switch in the House or Senate.
Much is also at stake at the state level as numerous gubernatorial
races may determine who will run for president in 2004. Many
retirements and new seats as a result of reapportionment and
redistricting means that the political deck is being reshuffled.
Who will be advantaged? What are the likely outcomes? What
main forces will be at play? How will President Bush's policy
agenda affect the political landscape and what role does the
media play in the political and policy games of Washington, D.C.?
Inside Washington 2002 is an exceptional opportunity for
students to step into the fire of politics and gain a unique insight
into these and many other issues. Through site visits, tours,
briefings, and lectures, politicians, media personalities, policy
makers, and scholars will take students on a behind-the-scenes
journey through the halls of power. Don't miss this special
opportunity to go inside Washington!
The first week, "Politics and the Media:' will examine how the
relationship between politicians and the media shapes political
news.
The second week, "Politics, Power, and the Presidency:' will
explore the first year of the Bush Administration, and the
influences that affect the public policy agenda of any new
presidential administration.
For further information about the program see Professor
Hedblom in Memorial Hall 117A, call her at 330-1197, or email:
hedblom@augsburg.edu.There are four scholarships available to
cover registration and tuition costs based on priority in
registration through the political science department.

Saturday mornings and Saturday
afternoons. Students meet during
these times in small classes of
fewer than 22 students.

strengths perspective
• Understanding of and respect
for diverse peoples and cultures

The Master of Social Work
program is highlighted by:
• Tradition of excellence in
curriculum, faculty and students
• Intentional recruitment of
students from diverse backgrounds
• Metropolitan location
• Access to challenging and
rewarding field placements
Professional preparation at the
Master of Social Work level at
Augsburg is founded on the
following assumptions:
• Analysis and presentation of
complex social issues and solutions are based on solid
research. MSW students will
develop competencies to
conduct, analyze and present
practice-based research in oral
and written form.
• The world is interdependent in
all areas; students will become
knowledgeable of social welfare
policies and programs that
address changing needs of the
world community.
• In the interests of constructive
social change that promotes
social justice, students are
educated to address institutional
oppression created by issues of
age, gender, race/ethnicity,
class, disability, sexual orientation or religion. Social justice is
a focus throughout the program.
MSW Program
Concentrations
The Master of Social Work
program has two program
concentrations: Family Practice,
or Program Development, Policy
and Administration. Students
choose one of the two concentrations for their program focus.
Family Practice
Family, in its diverse forms, is
central to society. "Family,"
in this context, is interpreted
broadly as the nurturing system
surrounding people. It is inclusive of many areas of need.
As a growing number of familyrelated challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need
for professionals who base
their practice on in-depth study
of the broad spectrum of issues
that confront the family . In the
Family Practice concentration,
students will concentrate on
promoting empowerment of the
family-nurturing systems from a
developmental and holistic
perspective.
Program Development, Policy
and Administration
Social change is necessary to
foster policies and services that
respond to human need. The
Program Development, Policy
and Administration concentration
was developed in response to the
growing demand for leadership
and administration. Effective
services require participatory
development, competent practitioners, strong leadership and
effective administration. Students
in this concentration will learn
the knowledge base and develop
the skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and
to develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will
serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.

No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the
degree. If a course grade is below 2.0, the course must be repeated;
however, no more than two courses can be repeated. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time are counted in the grade point average.
Summary of Degree
Requirements
The candidate for graduation
must successfully complete 18
courses, 900 hours of supervised field work, and a thesis as
outlined in the Curriculum Plan
with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to
be removed from probation. If
the cumulative grade point
average again falls below 3.0,
the student may be dismissed
from the program.

Accessibility
History
Augsburg College 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
College opened September
1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin
and moved to Minneapolis in
1872. Augsburg College and
Seminary changed its name to
Augsburg College in 1963
when the Lutheran Free Church
merged with The American
Lutheran Church.
Augsburg College has made a
major effort to become one of
the most accessible campuses in
the region. Without going
outside, the skyways, tunnels
and elevators provide accessible
connections between nine of 15
major buildings-student
housing towers, the Christensen
Center, main academic and
administrative halls, Music Hall
and the Foss Center for
Worship, Drama and
Communication. In addition,
there are services for students
with learning and physical
disabilities. The CLASS
Office phone number is
(612) 330-1648.
Non-Discrimination
Policy
Augsburg College does not
discriminate on the basis of
race, creed, national or ethnic
origin, age, marital status,
gender, sexual orientation or
disability as required by Title IX
of the 1972 Educational
Amendments or Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
as amended. This non-discrimination policy is incorporated as
part of its admission policies,
educational programs and activities, and employment practices.

"'r
1 he most important key to developing a collective will to
overcome many of our commonplace problems is leadership.
Certainly leadership is characterized by more than knowing. It is
also more than acting. It is ultimately defined in coalescing others
to act when they otherwise might not have. Leadership, including
teacher leadership, is ultimately proven in the efforts of others to
attempt to scale heights of human achievement and plunge depths
of human caring not otherwise envisioned."

6,Jntroduction to the
Master of Arts in
Education-Leadership
Developing Leaders for Education
The Masters of Arts in Education-Leadership is a program for
educators who value and enjoy their direct contact with
students and want to retain that focu in their careers. It is a
program that at the outset promotes the imp rtance of teaching.
It is also a program that values the role educators can play as
leaders within their places of work.
People who become part of this Master of Arts program will
have opportunities to:
• Examine what "leadership" is and who leads;
• Explore who they are as leaders, both within an educational
setting and outside of it;
• Gain specific knowledge of education and leadership that
can support their development; and
• Develop skills that can increase the effectiveness of their
leadership.
This program values the role that good educators play in the
lives of students and operates from the belief that educators
need to exercise leadership within the workplace without relinquishing the role of teacher.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in L adership pr gram is designed to meet
the needs and preferences ol working adults. The pr gram is
bas don the assum,ption that the men and women who enroll
are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals
who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction
and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into
period of tudy, group effort and clas pr paration. To accommodate this format for learning, each cla s meet on alternate Saturdays for thr e-and- ne-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours.
Leadership Development Model
Th Ma ter of Art in Education-L adership program promotes
leadership as a pl'oce which 1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for limit d resource , 2) pr motes
productivity within and beyond the organizati n, and 3) works
toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to
positions of leadership must possess thre k y attributes: a
sen e of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct
action. Underlying thes attributes is a broad range of abilities
and awarenesse . Thes abilitie and awarenesses, outlined in
the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the

Master of Arts in Education-Leadership. Augsburg's model of
leadership development is designed to assess, promote, enhance
and refine these capabilities within the individual.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Education-Leadership is participation in a community of learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and encouragement for active participation both in and out of the classroom. This community will be
enriched by the presence of men and women who bring to the
program a variety of work and life experiences.
. ...
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg
encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities
such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center; to
take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to participate in optional lunchtime seminars; and to attend other college
activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic
events.
Leadership Practicum
Master of Arts in Education-Leadership students enroll in a half
course called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to
enroll in this professional assessment and development course
for six terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon
completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half-course
credit.
Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a
full day professional assessment to determine students' abilities
and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership
Development Model (see page 3). Assessment instruments
include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group
experiences. Following the assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal
goal setting and in the creation of a professional development
plan focused on dimensions of leadership.
In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of students in the following
areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures, group
processes, and other professional development topics identified
by graduate students and staff. These workshops are developed
by students enrolled in the course "Creativity and Problem
Framing. " The Assessment and Leadership Practicum also asks
students to focus on leadership opportunity within their
workplace, or in an appropriate volunteer setting. Students will
develop a learning agreement which outlines the scope of their
project and what they hope to accomplish and learn through that
project. Students will be supported throughout this project by
peer and faculty coaching sessions which meet as an ongoing
part of the Assessment and Leadership Practicum.
B urriculum Design
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership program is
composed of 12 courses. Each course uses a variety of learning
techniques appropriate to adult learners including case study,
debate, written and oral seminar presentations and small group
activity. These courses develop targeted leadership abilities
and understandings as a boundary crossing endeavor in need
of the leadership skills and visions of people from all levels of
an organization.
The Master of Arts in Education-Leadership will provide opportunities for students to:
conceptual frameworks of leadership
issues of leadership
history of education
current issues in education
conceptual models of teaching and learning

• bout Augsburg
History
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.
Campus Location
Augsburg's campus is located in the heart of the Twin Cities
surrounding Murphy Square, the oldest of 155 parks in the
"City of Lakes." Adjacent to the campus are Fairview and
St. Mary's Hospitals, the West Bank campus of the University
of Minnesota and Mississippi River parkways.
Accessibility
Augsburg College has made a major effort to become one of
the most accessible campuses in the region. Skyways, tunnels
and elevators provide accessible connections between nine of
the 14 major buildings-student housing towers, Christensen
Center, main academic and administrative halls, the library
and music building. In addition, there are programs for
students with learning and physical disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. About 59 percent of the students are Lutheran,
14 percent other Protestant and 19 percent Roman Catholic.
Several other affiliations are represented among students and
faculty.
Non-Discrimination Policy
Augsburg College does not 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 of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
as amended in its admission policies, educational programs,
activities, and employment practices.

Catalog Supplement
1996
for MAL
Program
A Hon-thesis Option for Completion of the MAL Program (Plan B)
In March 1996 the MAL program approved a Plan B alternative
to provide a third choice for students completing their MAL
degree. Plan B involves both a different number and configuration
of course requirements than Plan A. (See below for details)
The Thesis and the Leadership Application Project are
described in the 1995-1997 catalog.
The thesis and leadership
application project are similar in approach and methodology. They
differ principally in the degree of application.
thesis, leadership application project, and g1an B are options
available to all HAL atudents.
~h•
The
PLAN B Option:
The Plan B option requires 11 courses.
Plan B students must
take:
ML 580 Contemporary Theories of Leadership
ML 510 Visions of Leadership
ML 514 Research Methods.
Plan B students will write two major papers:
l'irst Paper:
In ML 580 Contemporary Theories of
Leadership students write one major paper(approximately 30 pages).
This paper will fulfill one of required Plan B papers if a grade
of 3.5 or batter is achieved.
Students are required to give an
oral presentation based on their major paper at the end of the
semester. (If the grade achieved on this paper is less than 3.5 and
the student has elected the Plan B option, the student will re-
work the paper.*)
*A readers' panel, selected by the MAL Advisory committee, will
review the revised paper.
Second Paper:
one of two ways:
The second major paper may be handled in
1) An Independent study ML 59·9 (1. 0 credit) taken with an
Advisor. There will be a major paper(approximately 30-35
pages) required. The student must earn at least a grade of
3.5.
.
2) Thesis Seminar ML 593-594 sequence (.5 er each-1.0 er
total) and complete a major paper(approximately 30-35 pages).
The second Plan B Paper will be reviewed by the readers' panel.
The task of the readers' panel is to determine whether the paper
is at the 3.5 level or better and to maintain consistent quality
across differing project~ and subject areas.
The second Plan B paper will be presented at an annual
Colloquium held for students, faculty, alumni and invited guests.
Students will present an Abstract (approximately 15 minutes) of
their second plan B paper completed during a given academic year.
The presentation is part of the requirement to complete the Plan B
alternative.

Developing Leaders for
Organizations and the
Community
The Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) program
responds to the leadership
development needs of both
profit and not-for-profit
organizations. While different in
structure and purpose, most
organizations seek leaders with
the following qualities: a vision
which is ethically and morally
responsible, extending beyond
immediate concerns; an
understanding of how change
occurs and affects the
immediate environment; a
sensitivity to the complex
problems organizations face,
and an ability to achieve
solutions consistent with an
organization's mission; the
ability to motivate and inspire
individuals and groups to work
toward a common goal; and the
ability to effectively represent
the organization both internally
and externally.
The MAL program provides a
means by which individuals
may discover and refine these
and other abilities fundamental
to effective leadership.
Accommodating the
Full-Time Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and
preferences of working adults,
the MAL program is based on
the assumption that the students
who enroll are career oriented,
•
•
•

I
.

:
~
self-disciplined, and wellmotivated individuals, seeking a
balance of classroom experience,
group interaction, and individual
study. Most courses are
organized as seminars with
opportunity for discussion and
dialogue, and classes meet on
alternate Saturdays for threeand-one-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-andone-half hours.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the
MAL program is participation in
a community of learners
gathered together on the
Augsburg campus. This
community is enriched by the
students with a variety of work
and life experiences. To
facilitate community interaction,
students are encouraged to make
use of the Augsburg library,
computer labs, and Christensen
Center. Students share meals
and coffee breaks; participate in
optional lunch time seminars;
and attend music and dramatic
presentations and athletic events.
Individual Professional
Development
A major component of the MAL
program is the professional.
assessment. Given in the first
year of study, the assessment
can help students to identify
leadership skills and preferred
work and learning styles.
Nationally recognized test
instruments are used and based
. ..
on the results, students are
encouraged to create
personalized goals and plans to
strengthen areas which may
require further development.
MAL students are encouraged to
enroll in ML 500, Leadership
Practicum. Students may enroll
in this professional development
series for six terms and upon
completion of six Practica,
receive a half-course credit to be
used as an elective. Scheduled
each term, Practica are designed
to meet student needs in areas
such as interpersonal
communication, approaches to
career change, coping with
workplace issues, and other
areas related to leadership and
professional development. In
consultation with the Director, the
student may also apply to receive
credit for attending seminars
related to his or her employment
as part of the Practicum course.

~ADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT MODEL
•
•
•
•
•
The MAL program promotes
leadership as a process which
1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for
limited resources, 2) promotes
productivity within and beyond
the organization, and 3) works
toward progress for the
individual and the organization.
To accomplish this, individuals
aspiring to positions of
leadership must possess three
key attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade, and the
ability to direct action.
Underlying these attributes is a
broad range of abilities and
awareness, outlined in the
Leadership Development Model,
that serve as specific outcomes
for the MAL Program.
Augsburg's model of leadership
development is designed to
assess, promote, enhance, and
refine these capabilities within
the individual.

MAL students are required to
complete 10.5 course credits
(42 semester hours) and a
Thesis or Leadership
Application Project. Each
course includes two or more
liberal arts disciplines,
encourages pursuit of the
designated outcomes, and
uses a variety of learning
techniques appropriate to
adult learners. Instructional
techniques include case
studies, debate, written and
oral presentations, and group
activity. These techniques,
which have had demonstrated
success in advanced courses,
develop targeted leadership
abilities and understanding.
Students are encouraged to
see abilities and
understandings as crossdisciplinary and to see
content areas as integrated.
The very form of the program
reflects the view that the

it successfully requires well-

The MAL program will allow
students to take up to two
electives from the Master of
Arts in Education - Leadership
(MEL) program. See the MEL
program bulletin for detailed
descriptions of these courses.
Thesis/Leadership
Application Project
At, or near, the completion of
the course work for the MAL
program, students are required
to develop and carry out a
study of some aspect of
leadership or of a
leadership-related topic. This
research-based study affords
students the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been
learned from the study of
leadership in the course work
and course-related activities.

Students have the option to do
either a Thesis or Leadership
Application Project for
completion of the degree. The
Thesis or Application Project
should be seen as the
culmination of the MAL
program, offering participants
the opportunity to investigate
either some aspect of leadership
in depth or explore the
application of what has been
studied. The distinction between
these two options lies in their
orientation. The Thesis will
have a more theoretical
orientation, while the
Leadership Application Project
will be based on a more
practical application orientation.
Students who do not complete
their Thesis or Leadership
Application Project while
enrolled in ML 594 are
required to pay a continuation
fee during each subsequent
term until the Thesis/Project
is completed.

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

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

minimum of 100 hours in classrooms and education-related
settings are required prior to student teaching. Students spend
approximately 20 hours per term in field experiences.
UNDERGRADUATE LIBERAL ARTS REQUIREMENTS
The number of supporting liberal arts courses required for
licensure depends upon the courses taken previously as part
of the bachelor's degree. Requirements are determined by:
I Minnesota licensure standards for specific college level
coursework in math, biology, physics, and earth science
for all students seeking elementary licensure.
I Minnesota licensure standards in a specialty area for
middle school. Subject area specialties are offered in
language arts, social studies, math, and science.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure
program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C
or better was achieved. The Education Department
determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts,
course descriptions, and course syllabi are used to make
these determinations.
In limited cases, life experience can be considered as a
substitute for specific program requirements. In such cases
students must provide significant evidence of competency
in the affected standards. The College's Applicat~on of Prior
Learning (APL) process is used as a framework. The
Education Department determines what is accepted.

their school employment for their field experience.
**These courses are taken during the internship year. A
significant amount of contact with students labeled EBD or LD
is required. The ideal situation for the internship year is to be
working in a K-12 setting with these students. Students not
currently employed in schools must be available for extensive
volunteer field placements during the internship year.
Previous coursework can be accepted into the licensure
program if it meets Minnesota standards and if a grade of C
or better was achieved. The Education Department
determines the courses that are accepted. Transcripts,

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

culturally diverse contexts within the U.S. Goals include
improved communication skills and interpersonal
sensitivity, appreciation for the complexity of the racial and
ethnic groupings, and awareness of key issues facing those
groups.
The second term of this course involves intensive data
analysis, writing, and sharing of the degree candidate's

EVALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAE program will
be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined below.
Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in the
course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis. In order
to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. No
more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will count toward the
degree. No more than two courses with a grade of or below 2.5 can be
repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the second time are
counted in the grade point average.
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0
1.5
1.0
Achieves the minimum passing standard
Performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point
average)
N
Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and nonpunitive-not computed in grade point average)
W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must file an Application for Incomplete Grade form with the Office of the Registrar
that states the reasons for the request, outlines the work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor's
signature. The instructor may stipulate the terms and conditions that apply to course completion. The student must complete
the outstanding work in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and the filing of a grade before the final
day of the following academic term. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic term, the grade
for the course becomes a 0.0.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is highly important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's classmates and course
instructor.
-
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND
DISMISSAL POLICIES
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point
average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student
will be placed on probation for the following term. A 3.0
cumulative grade point average must be restored in order
for a student to be removed from probation. If a student
receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a course, the student must
petition successfully with the MAE program director
before being allowed to continue in the program. A plan
for the student to follow would be outlined at that time.
If a second grade of N or 0.0 is received, the student may
be dismissed from the program by the MAE program
director. Students may also be dismissed by the MAE
program director for behavior detrimental to the
program, such as a gross violation of college policy (as
published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur
only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Students may petition the MAE program director for
approval of any variation in the curriculum including the
transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be evaluated on an
individual basis.
The only courses that will be considered for transfer
credit are those earned from accredited colleges and
universities, whose course content is comparable to those
in the MAE program. No more than two courses will be
accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Each full-credit graduate course is the equivalent of four
semester credits or six quarter credits. Students meet in
class a total of 28 hours and are responsible for a
significant amount of individual study and preparation.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS
The last date on which students may withdraw from a
class and receive a "W" on their records is published
annually in the Weekend College class schedule and on
the Weekend College Web site <www.augsburg.edu/weccurrent> and on the registrar's Web page at
<www.augsburg.edu/enroll/registrar>.

WELCOME TO THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE
NURSING DEPARTMENT
We are proud of the opportunities, the diversity of experiences and the breadth of
transcultural nursing knowledge you will encounter in the Master of Arts in Nursing
program at Augsburg College. You will find faculty and staff available and eager to
assist you in expanding your nursing practice and advancing your career while we
explore together our understanding of what it means to live and practice nursing in a
global society.
Students entering the Master of Arts in Nursing come from diverse cultural,
educational, and experiential backgrounds. While some master's degree candidates
enter directly from college, others are making mid-life career changes, and some are
returning to college after raising a family. The career options in nursing are more
variable and more rewarding than ever before.
As our population ages and becomes increasingly diverse, nurses are challenged to respond with creativity and
competence. The master's program prepares nurses for leadership across care settings, population groups, cultures,
and care systems, with particular emphasis on addressing global and local health inequities. Graduates of our
master's program are practicing in acute care, community and public health, nursing education, nursing
administration, and in emerging care settings that are responsive to the needs of culturally diverse and underserved
populations. Many of our graduates have created innovative practice and educational models that demonstrate
interdisciplinary leadership and economically feasible solutions to health inequities within communities.
Our curriculum invites persons into one of two tracks of study: Transcultural Nursing in Community or
Transformational Nursing Leadership and Management. Both tracks encourage students to apply for advanced
nursing certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the Transcultural Nursing
Society (TCNS). Students certified in Advanced Community Health Nursing are eligible to apply for Clinical Nurse
Specialist (CNS) status through the Minnesota Board of Nursing. Courses are offered at the Augsburg campuses in
Minneapolis and Rochester, Minnesota, and the program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education (CCNE).
With its emphasis on nursing science and the liberal arts, the Master of Arts in Nursing fosters the development of
values and skills essential for transcultural nursing leadership in contemporary society. Faculty and staff at
Augsburg are receptive and committed to our students and to an educational process that equips you to transform
your unique gifts and interests into personal and professional service in the world.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Leuning, Ph.D.
Professor and Chair
Department of Nursing
The Transcultural Nursing in Community track in the Master of Arts in Nursing program was designed to prepare nurses for
advanced population-focused practice in culturally diverse communities. The curriculum is grounded in nursing science, public
health principles, themy-guided practice, and transcultural care. The program of study focuses on reaching populations that are
underserved by traditional care systems and who exist outside of the social mainstream. As such, the program provides rich
alternative teaching and learning opportunities for graduate students locally and internationally This program prepares nurses to
apply for certification in Transcultural Nursing through the International Transcultural Nursing Society Also, graduates of this
track of the masters program will be eligible to apply to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) certification
exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing.
Students will take a total of 10 courses, plus a thesis or graduate project. Three courses form the Advanced Nursing Core,
which all Master of Arts in Nursing students must take, and five additional courses make up the Transcultural Nursing in
Community Track.

Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts
in Nursing final project, which serves as the capstone of
the master's program: a graduate field project, or an
integrative master's thesis.
The Graduate Field Project, NUR 525, is based on a selfselected issue relevant to transcultural community health
nursing, or nursing leadership. The student will focus
primarily on the application and integration of knowledge.
Working with an adviser, the student will design and/or
implement and evaluate a model of advanced practice
nursing applied to solving a transcultural problem related
to health inequities in a selected community, or a nursing
leadership issue.
The integrative thesis option, NUR 535, expands upon
and/or extends theoretical foundations or concepts
identified in transcultural nursing, community health
nursing, and/or nursing leadership literature. The thesis
project demonstrates the student's ability to do
independent research involving the exposition of
primary and secondary literature appropriate to the
topic, the collection and analysis of empirical data, and
the articulation of implications for advanced practice
nursing.
Students register for their final project, with their
adviser's permission, near the end of the program.
Students must complete all coursework and defend the
project within one year after registration. After one year,
students must pay a continuation fee of $350 per term
in order to retain student status in the graduate
program, including library privileges, AugNet access,
and parking privileges.
Please refer to the "Graduate Field Project or Integrative
Thesis Procedures and Policies" booklet available in the Nursing Department for additional information.

Practice experience is emphasized in both tracks in the Master of Arts in Nursing program. Students who complete the
Transcultural Nursing in Community track will have enough practice hours to be eligible to apply to take the certification
exam in Advanced Community Health Nursing through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Practice experience
with diverse populations will also provide students with the options to apply to take the certification exam in Transcultural
Nursing. In this track students practice in nontraditional settings with persons underserved or excluded from mainstream
health care. This practice emphasizes cultural diversity and health inequities across health care settings. Students in the
Transformational Leadership and Management track will have practice experience in several courses with preceptors in
leadership positions in a variety of care settings.
A unique opportunity offered for practica at Augsburg is provided by the Augsburg Central Nursing Center. The Nursing
Center provides services for persons struggling with poverty and homelessness in the city of Minneapolis. People from
diverse backgrounds, who have health experiences grounded in wide-ranging cultural contexts, provide many opportunities
for students to explore advanced nursing roles and new models and forms of practice.
STUDY ABROAD
OPPORTUNITIES
The Nursing Department works closely with Augsburg's Center for Global Education in developing study abroad
opportunities. Currently, four study abroad opportunities exist for student practicum experience.
Annually, students may travel to Namibia in southwest
Africa to spend three weeks exploring health and health
care challenges within a rapidly developing country:
Practical experience with nurses in a variety of care settings,
meaningful dialogue with key resource persons, and critical
reflection foster personal and professional growth.
There are also week-long practica experiences on the Pine
Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. In this
experience, students live on the reservation and participate
with public health nurses providing health services.
Students also interact with tribal leaders and experience
cultural events relevant to the Lakota people of Pine Ridge.
Week-long experiences are available in Mexico and
Guatemala on alternating years. Students explore the
relationships of indigenous and Western health care, the
connection between social justice and health, and interact
with local indigenous healers.
Students may apply these study abroad experiences to the
practicum requirements for a variety of courses, including
the thesis and graduate field project.

NUR 500
Transcultural Health Care
NUR 510
Advanced Community Health Nursing I
This course explores meanings and expressions of health,
illness, caring, and healing transculturally. Focus is on
understanding and developing professional competence in
caring for individuals, families, groups, and communities
with diverse cultural backgrounds. Culture is examined as a
pervasive, determining "blueprint" for thought and action
throughout the human health experience. Patterns of
human interaction that foster health and quality of life are
analyzed, and health destroying patterns of interaction, e.g.,
stereotyping, discrimination, and marginalization, are
examined and submitted to moral and ethical reflection.
(36 hours of practice experience)
This course focuses on persons, families and groups living
in relationship. Emphasis is on applying the core functions
of community/public health - assessment, policy
development and assurance. Principles of epidemiology,
population demographics, and culture care are integrated
into community-focused health care delivery models.
Power structures within dominant social systems are
analyzed and critiqued with regard to resource access and
distribution among underserved populations. (72 hours of
practice experience)
NUR 503
Transcultural Health, Families, and the Life Cycle
The major curriculum concepts of individuals, health,
nursing, and society are developed further in this course as
the function of individuals living in families and in
communities is explored. Content about systems,
communication, small group, and nursing theories,
introduced earlier, is applied to family constellation. The
influence of the multigenerational family is examined in
terms of culture, belief system, roles, and healthcare
patterns, values, and goals. Specific concepts related to
values and culture are expanded and applied to the more
complex social structures of traditional and nontraditional
families as they interact in and with society.

The Power of Ritual and Ceremony for Transformation
In this course, the student will explore ritual and ceremony
from a transcultural perspective. Attention will be focused

~TRODUCTION
Developing Leaders for
Organizations and the
Community
The Master of Arts in
Leadership (MAL) program
responds to the leadership
development needs of both
profit and not-for-profit organizations. While different in
structure and purpose, most
organizations seek leaders with
the following qualities: a vision
that is ethically and morally
responsible, extending beyond
immediate concerns; an understanding of how change occurs
and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the
complex problems organizations
face and an ability to achieve
solutions consistent with an
organization's mission; the
ability to motivate and inspire
individuals and groups to work
toward a common goal; and the
ability to effectively represent
the organization both internally
and externally.
The MAL program provides a
means by which individuals
may discover and refine these
and other abilities fundamental
to effective leadership.
Accommodating the FullTime Work Schedule
Designed to meet the needs and
preferences of working adults,
the MAL program is based on
the assumption that the students
who enroll are career-oriented,
self-disciplined and well-
motivated individuals, seeking a
balance of classroom experience, group interaction and
individual study. Most courses
are organized as seminars with
the opportunity for discussion
and dialogue. Classes meet on
alternate Saturdays for threeand-one-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-andone-half hours.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the
MAL program is participation
in a community of learners
gathered together on the
Augsburg campus. This community is enriched by the students
with a variety of work and life
experiences. To facilitate
community interaction, students
are encouraged to make use of
the Augsburg library, computer
labs and Christensen Center.
Individual Professional
Development
An important component of
the MAL program is the
professional assessment.
The assessment can help
students to identify leadership
skills and preferred work and
learning styles. Nationally
recognized test instruments are
used; based on the results,
students are encouraged to
create personalized goals
and plans to strengthen areas
that may require further
development. MAL Practica
are designed to meet student
needs in areas such as interpersonal communication,
approaches to career change,
coping with workplace
problems, time management
and other issues related to
leadership and professional
development.
~ADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL
The MAL program promotes
leadership as a process that
1) inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for
limited resources, 2) promotes
productivity within and beyond
the organization, and 3) works
toward progress for the
individual and the organization.
AUGSBURG
Leadership Development Model,
that serve as specific outcomes
for the MAL program.
Augsburg's model of leadership
development is designed to
assess, promote, enhance and
refine these capabilities within
the individual.
To accomplish this, individuals
aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key
attributes: a sense of vision,
the ability to persuade and the
ability to direct action.
Underlying these attributes is a
broad range of abilities and
awareness, outlined in the
Leadership

(This model was developed by Augsburg Faculty Graduate Advisory Committee, 1985-87.)
~RICULUM DESIGN
There are two ways to complete
the MAL degree. In the
Thesis/Leadership Application
Project (Thesis/LAP) Option,
students complete a thesis or a
major leadership application
project and 10.5 credits. In the
Non-Thesis Option, students
must complete 11 credits, two
papers, but no thesis.
Augsburg uses a course system
rather than a credit system in its
curriculum. An Augsburg
course is equivalent to four
semester credits or six quarter
credits. Each course includes
two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages pursuit of the
designated outcomes and uses a
variety of learning techniques
appropriate to adult learners.
Instructional techniques include
case studies, debate, written and
oral presentations, and group
activity. These techniques
develop targeted leadership
abilities and understanding.
Students are encouraged to see
abilities and understandings as
cross-disciplinary and to view
content areas as integrated. The
program reflects the view that
the world in which we operate is
complex and that dealing with it
successfully requires welldeveloped integrative abilities.
Thesis/LAP Option
Students who select the
Thesis/LAP Option are required
to develop and carry out an indepth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadershiprelated topic. This researchbased study gives the student
the opportunity to "tie together"
what has been learned from the
study of leadership and courserelated activities.
The principal distinction between
the Thesis and the Leadership
Application Project lies in their
underlying orientation. A Thesis
has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership
Application Project is based on
practical application. Both
require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the
student must register for ML 592,
593 and 594. Differences
between these two options will
be explored in ML 514 Research
Methods and in ML 593
Leadership Research Seminar I.
Students who do not complete
their Thesis or Leadership
Application Project while
enrolled in ML 594 Leadership
Research Seminar II are
required to pay a continuation fee.
Non-Thesis Option
An alternative to the thesis is the
successful completion of two
major papers, as described
below. The first of these papers
will be written in conjunction
with ML 580. A student must
get a grade of 3.5 or higher on
this major paper to complete the
Non-Thesis requirement. If the
grade for the paper is below 3.5,
the student will revise the paper
WuRRICULUM DESIGN
Elective Courses for
Both Options: (at least
7.0 course credits)
and submit it to the MAL faculty
panel for review and approval.
The second paper will be written
while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. A
student must get a grade of 3.5
or higher on this paper; it will
then be submitted to the MAL
faculty panel for review and
approval. The judgment
of the MAL faculty panel is
the final one. The independent
research projects approved
each year will be presented in
a special annual colloquium.
All courses are valued at
1.0 credit, unless otherwise
designated.

~ALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will be
based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale with these definitions:
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence.
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course standards.
2.5
2;0
1.5
1.0
0.5
0.0
Achieves the minimum passing standard.
Performance below basic course standards.
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course).
p
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in
grade point average).
N
Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and
non-punitive - not computed in grade point average).
w
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after
the deadline for dropping without notation on the record
I
Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete
course requirements for reasons beyond the student's
control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a
petition with the Graduate Programs Office stating reasons
for the request, the plan and date for removing the
incomplete grade, the signature of the instructor and any
other necessary documentation.)
Courses not offered on the
numbered grading system are
noted in the course descriptions
in this catalog as being graded
on PIN basis. In order to receive
a grade of P, a student must
achieve at least a grade of 2.0.
No more than two courses with
a grade below 3.0 will count
toward the degree.
No more than two courses with
a grade of or below 2.5 can be
repeated. Only the credits and
grades earned the second time
are counted in the grade point
average.
~DENT RIGHTS
The College has adopted a
statement of student rights and
responsibilities and provides due
process in matters of disciplinary
action, grievances and grade
appeal. Students who wish to
identify appropriate procedures
for complaints should contact
the Vice President for Student
Affairs (330-1160).
The College operates in
compliance with the Family
Rights and Privacy Act and
Title IX. Students have the right
to inspect all official records
that pertain to them and that are
maintained in the Registrar's
Office and the Placement Office
(except where a waiver of
access has been signed) and
to challenge inaccurate or
misleading information.
Students have a right to
experience education free
from discrimination.
A
Because leadership issues are
presented, discussed and
analyzed in the classroom,
regular attendance is highly
important and should be considered a responsibility, not only to
one's self, but to one's classmates
and course instructor.
TTENDANCE POLICY
Irregular attendance may, at the
discretion of the instructor,
adversely affect one's grade.
A
cADEMIC POLICIES
Academic Probation and
Dismissal Policies
Credit for Prior
Education
Enrollment Policy/
Leaves of Absence
Students must maintain a 3.0
cumulative grade point average.
If a student falls below a 3.0
average, the student will be
placed on probation for the
following term. A 3.0 cumulative
grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to
be removed from probation. If
a student receives a grade of N
or 0.0 in a course, the student
must petition successfully with
the MAL Advisory Committee
before being allowed to
continue in the program. A plan
for the student to follow would
be outlined at that time. If a
second grade of Nor 0.0 is
received, the student may be
dismissed from the program by
the MAL Advisory Committee.
Students may also be dismissed
by the MAL Advisory
Committee for behavior detrimental to the program, such as a
gross violation of college policy
(as published in the Student
Guide). Dismissal would occur
only after established procedures
were followed.
Due to the interdisciplinary
nature of the courses in the
MAL program, it is unlikely that
courses taken elsewhere may be
substituted for a particular
course in the curriculum.
Students may petition the MAL
program director for approval of
any variation in the curriculum
including the transfer of credit.
Transfer credits will be evaluated on an individual basis.
The only courses that will be
considered for transfer credit are
those earned from accredited
colleges and universities, whose
course content is comparable to
those in the MAL program. No
more than two courses will be
accepted for transfer credit.
Students may take either one or
two courses per trimester.
Enrolling in two courses per
trimester enables a student to
complete the course work in
the program within two years.
All students are required to
complete all components of the
program within five years.
Extensions beyond five years
will be considered on the basis
of petition to the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students who leave
the program for more than one
trimester must request a leave of
absence in writing from the
MAL program director. A leave
of absence may be granted for
one calendar year. Time spent
on an official leave of absence
will not count toward the five
year deadline for degree
completion.
Credit and Contact
Hours
Each full-credit graduate course
in the MAL program is the
equivalent of four semester
credits or six quarter credits.
Students meet in class a total of
31.5 hours and are responsible
for a significant amount of individual study and preparation.
Last Day to Withdraw
from Class
The last date on which students
may withdraw from a class and
receive a "W" on their records is
published annually in the MAL
Calendar.
~DENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Academic advising from the
MAL director for program
planning is available. As
students approach the capstone
experience, they select thesis or
project advisers to guide them
throughout the completion of
their program. Graduate
program staff are also available
to help students with nonacademic advising issues.

The Dynamics of Change
(1.0 course)
Introduction to selected concepts of
leadership, providing a historical and
philosophical framework for the
program. This course views the
nature and purpose of leadership
from a variety of disciplines and
perspectives.
Investigation of the processes of
critical thinking, drawing from
philosophy as well as natural and
social science. The course will survey
a variety of contemporary approaches
to critical thinking, including the use
of logic and analytical reasoning, the
relationship of evidence to the
confirmation of theories and the value
of appeals to scholarly studies. A
special focus of the course will be an
assessment of the ways in which
natural and social sciences can (and
cannot) assist leaders in addressing
problems and seeking solutions.
This course offers an exploration of
the context of social change and
varying responses to diverse human
needs. Ways of achieving well-being
may be viewed differently by leaders
in public and private domains and

Developing Leaders for
Organizations and the
Community
The Master of Arts in Leadership
responds to the leadership
development needs of profit and
not-for-profit organizations.
While different in structure and
purpose, most organizations
seek leaders with the following
qualities:
• a vision which is ethically and
morally responsible, extending
beyond immediate concerns;
• an understanding of how
change occurs and affects the
immediate environment;
• a sensitivity to the complex
problems organizations face,
and an ability to achieve
solutions consistent with an
organization's mission;
• the ability to motivate and
inspire individuals and groups
to work toward a common
goal; and
• the ability to effectively
represent the organization both
internally and externally.
The Master of Arts in Leadership
provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine
these and other abilities and
awareness fundamental to effective leadership.
Accommodating the
Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in
Leadership program is designed
..
. .. ....
to meet the needs and preferences of working adults. The
program is based on the
assumption that the men and
women who enroll are
employed, self-disciplined and
well-motivated individuals who
seek a balance of classroom
experience, group interaction
and individual study. Each
course is, therefore, divided into
periods of study, group efforts
and class preparation. To
accommodate this format for
learning, each class meets on
alternate Saturdays for
three-and-one-half hours and
alternate Thursday evenings for
one-and-one-half hours.
Leadership Development
Model
. • t .
The Master of Arts in
Leadership program promotes
leadership as a process which I)
inspires cooperation among
people who must compete for
limited resources, 2) promotes
productivity within and beyond
the organization, and 3) works
toward progress for the individual and the organization. To
accomplish this, individuals
aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key
attributes: a sense of vision, the
ability to persuade, and the
ability to direct action.

Underlying these attributes is a
broad range of abilities and
awareness. These abilities and
awarenesses, outlined in the
diagram on page 5, serve as
specific outcomes for the Master
of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's
model of leadership development
is designed to assess, promote,
enhance and refine these capabilities within the individual.

Essential to the goals of the
Master of Arts in Leadership is
participation in a community of
learners gathered together on the
Augsburg campus. Learning is
enhanced when the student is
involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and
encouragement for active participation both in and out of the
classroom. This community will
be enriched by the presence of
men and women who bring to
the program a variety of work
and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community
interaction, Augsburg encourages graduate students to make
use of college facilitates such as
the library, computer labs and
the Christensen Center; to take
the opportunity to share meals
and coffee breaks; to participate
in optional lunch time seminars;
and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic
presentations, and athletic
events.
Individual Professional
Development
Master of Arts in Leadership
students enroll in a half course
called Leadership Practicum.
Students are required to enroll
in this professional assessment
and development course for six
tenns during their graduate
work at Augsburg. Upon
completion of the entire
practicum, students receive a
half course credit. In each tenn,
specific activities related to the
practicum are scheduled.
Early in the program a major
component of this practicum is a
full-day professional assessment
to determine students' abilities
and potential relative to each of
the outcomes of the Leadership
Development Model (see page
5). Assessment instruments
include paper and pencil exercises, and simulation and group
experiences. Following the
assessment, students meet individually with a trained assessor
who provides guidance in
personal goal-setting and in the
creation of a professional development plan or "blueprint".
Augsburg has contracted with
Personnel Decisions, Inc. (PDI)
to organize and facilitate the
practicums. PDI is a professional consulting firm providing
the full range of psychological
and human resource services to
enhance individual and organizational effectiveness. The
practicums work on a rotating
series of six, one per trimester.
The practicums are designed to
meet the needs of the students in
the following areas: effective
persuasion, communication
techniques, identifying and
defining problems, decision
making, interpersonal skills
required for leadership and other
professional development
topics. Each practicum will
focus on a specific topic and use
mini-lectures, small group exercises and experiential learning.
Students are required to participate in the practicum workshop
with PDI during the same term
they participate in the professional assessment.

Thesis/Leadership
Application Project
Requirement
At, or near, the completion of
the course work for the Master
of Arts in Leadership program,
students are required to develop
and carry out a study of some
aspect of leadership or leadership related topic. This research
based study affords the student
the opportunity to "tie together"
what has been learned from the
study of leadership in the course
work, course related activities
and the practicum sessions.
Students in the Master of Arts in
Leadership program have the
option to do either a Thesis or a
Leadership Application Project
for completion of the Master of
Arts in Leadership degree. The
decision as to which of these
capstone alternatives is selected
depends on the interests and
orientation of the student. Some
students express a theoretical
interest in the study of leadership and identify topics which
lend themselves to a more traditional thesis project. Other
students express interest in a
more applied approach to leadership and wish to pursue
investigations which are not
appropriate for more traditional
thesis topics. Students with
more practical topics in mind
are likely to select the
Leadership Application Project.
Both the Thesis and the
Leadership Application Project
should be seen as the culmination of the Master of Arts in
Leadership program, offering
participants the opportunity to
either investigate some aspect of
leadership in depth or explore
the application of what has been
studied. The principal distinction between these two options
lies in their underlying orientation. The Thesis will have a
more theoretical orientation,
while the Leadership
Application Project will be
based on a more practical
applied orientation. The difference between these two options
will be explored in more detail
in the ML 514 Research
Methods course, taken during
the first year of the student's
program.

liberal arts, various learning
styles, methods of research and

the student's first three trimesters.
ML 511 Creativity and the
Problem-Solving Process

the perspective of traditional
aesthetics as well as contemporary organizational thinking.
This course uses creativity as a
method and it examines techniques for solving problems in
organizations, for enhancing
innovation and for seeking an
integrative world-view.

Change
Decision making is fundamental
to all human endeavor, particu-
as related to professional and
personal life. This course may
employ psychological, philosophical and theological perspectives
to explore the role of the individual in the larger social context.
Major topics include the acquisition, development and evolution
of self-identity and values, the
influence of sex roles and the
relationship to spiritual growth.
ML 521 Methods of
Critical Thought
Investigation of the processes of
critical thinking drawing from

diverse human needs. Ways of
achieving well-being may be
viewed differently by leaders in
public and private domains and
across cultures. The course
explores these various perspectives including areas of conflict
and opportunities for leadership
in social and organizational
change. Sociological, human
development and economic
theories are applied to contemporary public and private sector

larly in leadership. Leaders,
regardless of their field, are
continually held accountable for
decisions in settings characterized by incomplete information
and limited time. The
constrained nature of the typical
decision making environment
necessitates the use of a systematic and objective decision
making process. Drawing on
various disciplines, course
participants will examine the
different stages of the decision
making process including:
analysis of the decision setting
and its relevant boundaries,
identification of acceptable decision outcomes, definition of the
implementation of the decision
and appraisal of potential
contingencies. While emphasis
is given to the qualitative rather
than quantitative aspects of
decision making, about 20
percent of the course will
include the development of
some basic analytical concepts:
data collection, graphs and
charts, measuring central
tendency and dispersion, and
association.

Non-traditional Programs for
approval of any variation in the
curriculum including the
transfer of credit. Transfer
credits will be evaluated on an
individual basis. The only

SlfNANCIAL AID
In a number of ways, students
may receive assistance in meeting
Graduate Program costs. Enrollment in two full credit courses
per trimester allows the student
to be classified as full-time. One
course is considered half-time
enrollment. The Office of Student
Financial Services (330-1046)
assists students in assessing
financial aid eligibility and offers
financial aid from available alternatives, including the following:
Augsburg Tuition Grant
Augsburg College may provide
grants and scholarships to graduate students who show academic
potential and have financial need.
Sponsored Scholarships
Augsburg actively pursues
outside funding for special
scholarships. The availability of
such scholarships may enable
the participation of individuals
of limited financial means as
well as individuals working for
volunteer agencies and other
organizations not likely to
provide tuition reimbursement.
Company Tuition
Assistance Programs
Many companies, agencies and
corporations offer full or partial
tuition assistance to employees
who participate in work-related
or degree-related college
programs. Augsburg College
offers several payment plans by
which employees may handle
tuition reimbursement.
Bureau of Indian Affairs,
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, please contact
Augsburg's American Indian
Support Program Director at
330-1138 or your tribal agency.

Wisconsin, and moved to
Minneapolis in 1872.
Augsburg's campus is located in
the heart of the Twin Cities
surrounding Murphy Square, the
oldest of 155 parks in the "City
of Lakes." Adjacent to the
campus are Riverside Medical
Center, the West Bank campus
of the University of Minnesota
and Mississippi River parkways.

COLLEGE
1991-1993
Those who hope to lead had better understand both rationally and
intuitively the people who might be their followers, and the society
in which they are embedded. They had better comprehend the
values of our common culture, past and present, know how our
political and economic systems work, and understand how and
why science has changed the world ... Leaders need specialists as
advisers and staff members. But leaders themselves are generalists ... At higher levels of leadership they cannot achieve their full
potential without considerable breadth of knowledge. Only this
way can they shape the contexts for decisions where expert
knowledge is used.

ntroduction
Developing Leaders for
Organizations and the Community
The Master of Arts in Leadership responds to the leadership
development needs of profit and not-for-profit organizations.
While different in structure and purpose, most organizations
seek leaders with the following qualities:
.& a vision which is ethically and morally responsible,
extending beyond immediate concerns;
... an understanding of how change occurs and affects the
immediate environment;
.& a sensitivity to the complex problems organizations face,
and an ability to achieve solutions consistent with an
organization's mission;
... the ability to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to
work toward a common goal; and
.& the ability to effectively represent the organization both
internally and externally.
The Master of Arts in Leadership provides a means by which
individuals aspiring to enhance their leadership skills may
discover and refine these and other abilities and awarenesses
fundamental to effective leadership.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Arts in Leadership program is designed to meet
the needs and preferences of working adults. The program is
based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll
are employed, self-disciplined and well-motivated individuals
who seek a balance of classroom experience, group interaction
and individual study. Each course is, therefore, divided into
periods of study, group efforts and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, each class meets on alternate Saturdays for three-and-one-half hours and alternate
Thursday evenings for one-and-one-half hours.
Leadership Development Model
The Master of Arts in Leadership program promotes leadership as a process which 1) inspires cooperation among people
who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and beyond the organization, and 3) works
toward progress. To accomplish this, individuals aspiring to
positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a
sense of vision, the ability to persuade and the ability to direct
action. Underlying these attributes is a broad range of abilities
and awarenesses. These abilities and awarenesses, outlined in
the diagram on page 7, serve as specific outcomes for the
Master of Arts in Leadership. Augsburg's model of leadership
development is designed to assess, promote, enhance and
refine these capabilities within the individual.
Community of Learners
Essential to the goals of the Master of Arts in Leadership is
participation in a community of learners. Learning can be
enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community
that provides opportunity and encouragement for active
participation both in and out of the classroom. This community
will be enriched by the presence of men and women who bring
to the program a variety of work and life experiences.
To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg
encourages graduate students to make use of college facilities
such as the library, meeting rooms and the Christensen Center;
to take the opportunity to share meals and coffee breaks; to
participate in optional lunch time seminars; and to attend other
college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and
athletic events.
Leadership Practicum
Master of Arts in Leadership students enroll in a half course
called "Leadership Practicum." Students are required to enroll
in this professional assessment and development course for six
terms during their graduate work at Augsburg. Upon completion of the entire practicum, students receive a half course
credit. In each term, specific activities related to the practicum
are scheduled.
Early in the program a major component of this practicum is a
full-day professional assessment to determine students' abilities
and potential relative to each of the outcomes of the Leadership
Development Model (see page 5). Assessment instruments
include paper and pencil exercises and simulation and group
experiences. Following the assessment students meet individually with a trained assessor who provides guidance in personal
goal-setting and in the creation of a professional development
plan or "blueprint."
In subsequent terms "Leadership Practicum" includes workshops designed to meet the needs of the students in the following areas: communication skills, self-assessment measures,
group processes, and other professional development topics
identified by graduate students and staff.

.. ·:
·)
Family, in its diverse forms, is
central to society. "Family,"
in this context, is interpreted
broadly as the nurturing system
surrounding people. It is inclusive of many areas of need.
As a growing number of familyrelated challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need
for professionals who base
their professional practice on indepth study of the broad
spectrum of issues that confront
the family . In the Family
Practice concentration, students
will concentrate on promoting
empowerment of the family
nurturing systems from a developmental and holistic
perspective.
Program Develop111e11t, Policy
and ,\d111i11istratio11
Social change is necessary to
foster policies and services that
respond to human need. The
Program Development, Policy
and Administration concentration has been developed in
response to the growing demand
for creative leadership and
administration. Effective
services require participatory
development, competent practitioners, strong leadership and
effective administration.
Students in this concentration
will develop the abilities and
skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and
to develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will
serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.
Eied.ivts
Students must select one elective in their course of study
toward the MSW degree.
Master's Thesis and
Seminar
All students will complete a
Master's thesis. The thesis is
intended to integrate research
and practice.

are the Fairview Riverside
Medical Center complex, the
West Bank campus of the
University of Minnesota and
Mississippi River parkways .

My life-changing experience in the Augsburg MAL Program has
provided me with a strong foundation to pursue a leadership role in
both my personal and professional life. In addition to being a strong,
challenging program, it is also geared toward flexibility to accommodate
the adult learner. A program in my opinion that goes unmatched!

MASTER OF ARTS
Attaining the MAL degree was a
transforming experience both
personally and professionally. It
increased my self-confidence, enabled
me to recognize and develop my

IN LEADERSHIP
INTRODUCTION
The primary mission of the Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) at Augsburg
College is to develop leaders for organizations and the community. The core
program of the center is the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL). The
program, which was launched in 1987, responds to the leadership
development needs of both profit and not-for-profit organizations. While
different in structure and purpose, most organizations seek leaders with the
following qualities: a vision that is ethically and morally responsible,
extending beyond immediate concerns; an understanding of how change
occurs and affects the immediate environment; a sensitivity to the complex
problems organizations face and an ability to achieve solutions consistent
with an organization's mission; the ability to motivate and inspire individuals
and groups to work toward a common goal; and the ability to effectively
represent the organization both internally and externally. The MAL program
provides a means by which individuals may discover and refine these and
other abilities fundamental to effective leadership.
ACCOMMODATING THE FULL-TIME WORK SCHEDULE
Designed to meet the needs and preferences of working adults, the MAL
program is based on the assumption that the students who enroll are careeroriented, self-disciplined, and well-motivated individuals, seeking a balance
of classroom experience, group interaction, and individual study. Most
courses are organized as seminars with the opportunity for discussion and
dialogue. Classes meet on alternate Saturdays for four hours.
COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS
Essential to the goals of the MAL program is participation in a community of
learners gathered together on the Augsburg campus. This community is
enriched by the students, who have a variety of work and life experiences. To
facilitate community interaction, students are encouraged to make use of the
Augsburg library, computer labs , and Christensen Center. The Center for
Leadership Studies also offers some special colloquia and seminars each year
to supplement and complement the course work of the master's program.
A SAMPLE CLASS SCHEDULE IN THE MAL PROGRAM
PERIOD I
Saturday
8:00 a.m . to 12:00 noon
PERIOD II
Saturday
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Note: Each class taken commits a student to either Period I or Period II;
on average two meetings a month.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT MODEL-AUGSBURG COLLEGE
The MAL program promotes leadership as a process that
1) inspires cooperation among people who must compete for limited resources, 2) promotes productivity within and
beyond the organization, and 3) works toward progress for the individual and the organization. To accomplish this,
individuals aspiring to positions of leadership must possess three key attributes: a sense of vision, the ability to
persuade, and the ability to direct action. Underlying these attributes are a broad range of abilities and awareness,
outlined in the Leadership Development Model, that serve as specific outcomes for the MAL program. Augsburg's
model of leadership development is designed to assess , promote, enhance, and refine these capabilities within the
individual.

There are two ways to complete the MAL degree. In the Thesis/Leadership Application Project (Thesis/ LAP) Option,
students complete a thesis or a major leadership application project and 10.5 credits. In the Non-Thesis Option,
students must complete 11 credits, two papers, but no thesis.
Augsburg uses a course system rather than a credit system in its curriculum. An Augsburg course is equivalent to
four semester credits or six quarter credits. Each course includes two or more liberal arts disciplines, encourages
pursuit of the designated outcomes and uses a variety of learning techniques appropriate to adult learners.
Instructional techniques include case studies, debate, written and oral presentations, and group activity. These
techniques develop targeted leadership abilities and understanding. Students are encouraged to see abilities and
understandings as cross-disciplinary and to view content areas as integrated. The program reflects the view that the
world in which we operate is complex and that dealing with it successfully requires well-developed integrative
abilities.
THESIS/LAP OPTION
Students who select the Thesis/LAP Option are required to develop and carry out an in-depth study of some aspect of
leadership or of a leadership-related topic. This research-based study gives the student the opportunity to "tie
together" what has been learned from the study of leadership and course-related activities.
The principal distinction between the thesis and the Leadership Application Project lies in their underlying
orientation. A thesis has a more theoretical orientation, while the Leadership Application Project is based on practical
application. Both require similar rigor and preparation. For either alternative, the student must register for ML 592,
593, and 594. Differences between these two options will be explored in ML 514 Research Methods and in ML 593
Leadership Research Seminar I.
For more information regarding the Thesis/LAP option, refer to the Information and Guidelines for the Thesis and
Leadership Application Project booklet.
Students who do not complete their thesis or Leadership Application Project while enrolled in ML 594 Leadership
Research Seminar II are required to pay a continuation fee.
-
NON-THESIS OPTION
An alternative to the thesis is the successful completion of two major papers, as described below. The first of these
papers will be written in conjunction with ML 580. The second paper will be written while enrolled in ML 597 NonThesis Independent Project. The independent research projects approved each year will be presented in an annual
colloquium. Students who do not complete their independent project while enrolled in ML 597 are required to pay a
continuation fee.
For more information regarding the Non-Thesis option, refer
Project booklet.
to
the Information and Guidelines for the Non-Thesis

EVALUATION STANDARDS
Evaluation of academic performance in the MAL program will
be based on number grades using a 4.0 point scale and as defined
below.
Courses not offered on the numbered grading system are noted in
the course descriptions in this catalog as being graded on PIN basis.
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a
grade of 2.0. No more than two courses with a grade below 3.0 will
count toward the degree. No more than two courses with a grade of
or below 2.5 can be repeated. Only the credits and grades earned the
second time are counted in the grade point average.
4.0
Achieves highest standards of excellence
3.5
3.0
Achieves above basic course standards
2.5
2.0
1.5
Achieves the minimum passing standard
1.0
Performance below basic course standards
0.5
0.0
Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course)
P
Achieves at or above the 2.0 level (not computed in grade point average)
N
Does not meet minimum course standards (no credit and non-punitive-not computed in grade point average)
W
Grade given when a student withdraws from a course after the deadline without notation on the record
Incomplete grade given when student is unable to complete course requirements for reasons beyond the
student's control. (To receive an incomplete, a student must file a petition with the MAL Program Office
stating reasons for the request, the plan
and date for removing the incomplete
grade, the signature of the instructor, and
any other necessary documentation.)
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Because leadership issues are presented, discussed
and analyzed in the classroom, regular attendance is
highly important and should be considered a
responsibility, not only to one's self, but to one's
classmates and course instructor.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND
DISMISSAL POLICIES
Students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point
average. If a student falls below a 3.0 average, the
student will be placed on probation for the following
term. A 3.0 cumulative grade point average must be
restored in order for a student to be removed from
probation. If a student receives a grade of N or 0.0 in a
course, the student must petition successfully with the
MAL Advisory Committee before being allowed to
continue in the program. A plan for the student to
follow would be outlined at that time. If a second
grade of N or 0.0 is received , the student may be
dismissed from the program by the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students may also be dismissed by the
MAL Advisory Committee for behavior detrimental to
the program, such as a gross violation of college policy
(as published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would
occur only after established procedures were followed.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR EDUCATION
Due to the interdisciplinaiy nature of the courses in the
MAL program, it is unlikely that courses taken
elsewhere may be substituted for a particular course in
the curriculum. Students may petition the MAL program
director for approval of any variation in the curriculum
including the transfer of credit. Transfer credits will be
evaluated on an individual basis.
The only courses that will be considered for transfer
credit are those earned from accredited colleges and
universities, whose course content is comparable to
those in the MAL program. No more than two courses
will be accepted for transfer credit.
CREDIT AND CONTACT HOURS
Each full-credit graduate course in the MAL program is
the equivalent of four semester credits or six quarter
credits. Students meet in class a total of 28 hours and
are responsible for a significant amount of individual
study and preparation.
ENROLLMENT POLICY/ LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Students may take either one or two courses per
trimester. Enrolling in two courses per trimester
enables a student to complete the coursework in the
program within two years. All students are required to
complete all components of the program within five
years. Extensions beyond five years will be considered
on the basis of petition to the MAL Advisory
Committee. Students who leave the program for more
than one trimester must request a leave of absence in
writing from the MAL program. A leave of absence may
be granted for one calendar year. Time spent on an
official leave of absence will not count toward the fiveyear deadline for degree completion.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM CLASS
The last date on which students may withdraw from a
class and receive a "W" on their records is published
annually in the MAL Supplement.
STUDENT RIGTHS
The College has adopted a statement of student rights
and responsibilities and has provided for due process
in the matter of disciplinary action, grievances, and
grade appeal, as outlined in the Augsburg College
-
Catalog and the Student Guide. Students have a right to experience
education without discrimination.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as
amended, provides certain rights to students regarding their education
records. Each year Augsburg is required to give notice on the various
rights accorded to students pursuant to FERPA. A copy of Augsburg's
policy is published in the Augsburg College Catalog and in the
Studertt Guide distributed to students.
Augsburg College understands that no information other than
"directory information" can be released without the written
permission of the student. Students must give permission in writing
for educational information to be released to anyone outside of the
official personnel (faculty and administration) at Augsburg. This
means that faculty or others cannot write letters of
support/recommendation or nominate students for awards unless
explicit written permission is given by the student to release non"directory information." It is not sufficient to ask for letters of
recommendation.
Complete information about Augsburg's procedures with regard to
FERPA are available from the registrar's office.
ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS
Students who successfully complete Augsburg's leadership program will receive a Master of Arts degree. Augsburg is
accredited by The Higher Leaming Commission, North Central Association* and is a member of the Associated Colleges of
the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America, and the Minnesota Private College Council.
Augsburg College is registered with the
Minnesota Higher Education Services
Office. Registration is not an endorsement
of the institution. Registration does not
mean that credits earned at the institution
can be transferred to other institutions or
that the quality of the educational
programs would meet the standards of
every student, educational institution or
employer.

mission;
•
the abil ity to motivate and inspire individuals and groups to

ntroduction
to the Master
of Social Work
Program Philosophy
The Master of Social Work program at Augsburg College builds
on the strengths of its Bachelor of Social Work program:
... Understanding of and respect for diverse people and
cultures
T
A solid foundation in and integration with the liberal arts
T
Responsibility and service to and with the broader
community in the interests of social justice
T
A focus on client empowerment
T
Preparation for ethical, competent, professional practice
T
A framework for practice of problem-solving within a
systems perspective.
In the Augsburg Master of Social Work Program, individuals
are recognized as capable of adaptation, growth and change.
Intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional, psycho-social problems are addressed with clients in relation to the locus of the
issues, be they within the individual, the family, the community, or the larger societal systems. Client self-determination,
growth and empowerment (personal recognition of one's
ability, rights and place in the social change process) are
recognized and fostered through support and education. In the
interests of social justice and constructive social change,
students are educated as professionals to address institutional
oppression, e.g. age, race, religion.
Professional preparation at the Master of Social Work level at
Augsburg is founded on the following assumptions:
T Analysis and presentation of complex social issues and solutions must be based on solid research. Augsburg MSW students will develop competencies to conduct, analyze and
present practice-based research.
T The world is interdependent in all areas, including human
needs and the services to address them. Students will become
knowledgeable of social welfare policies and programs of the
world community which address changing needs.
Accommodating the Full-Time Work Schedule
The Master of Social Work Program is designed to meet the
needs of adult students, e.g. students who are employed, have
family obligations, must travel distances to obtain graduate
social work education. Classes will meet during alternate
weekends in four hour blocks: Friday evening (one class),
Saturday morning and afternoon (two classes). Students will
be required to meet one Sunday afternoon per trimester for a
program seminar on ethical or other professional issues.
urriculum Design
Students must complete 18 courses (12, if Professional Foundation is waived), including the Master's thesis and 900 hours of
professionally supervised, College-approved social work field
experience. The course of study must include the Professional
Foundation (unless waived), the Advanced Curriculum, one
concentration, and two elective courses.
The Professional Foundation is the basic core and is designed
for persons whose baccalaureate degree is in a subject or from
an institution not accredited by the Council on Social Work
Education. These six courses, including 420 hours of Collegeapproved, professionally-supervised field work, must be completed successfully prior to enrollment in the Advanced
Curriculum or Concentrations courses.
The Advanced Curriculum, required of all students, is the
entry point in the program for persons with baccalaureate
degrees in social work from institutions that are accredited by
the Council on Social Work Education, or by students who
have completed successfully the Professional Foundation
courses.
The Advanced Curriculum consists of three courses, including
the introductory courses to both concentrations.
Concentrations
Concentrations are in two areas: Family Practice and Program
Development, Policy and Administration. These concentrations total a minimum of six courses beyond the Advanced
Curriculum, including 480 hours of college approved, professionally-supervised field work.
Family Practice
Family, in its diverse forms, is central to society. "Family';
in this context, is interpreted flexibly as the nurturing system
surrounding people. It is inclusive of many areas of need.
As a growing number of family-related challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need for professionals who base
their professional practice on in-depth study of the broad
spectrum of issues that confront the family . In the Family
Practice concentration, students will concentrate on empowering the family nurturing systems from a developmental and
wholistic perspective.
Program Development, Policy and Administration
Social change is necessary for fostering policies and service that
respond to human need. The Program Development, Policy,
and Administration concentration has been developed in
response to the growing demand for creative leadership and
administration. Effective services require participative
development, competent practitioners, strong leadership and
effective administration. Students following this concentration
will develop the abilities and skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.
Electives
Students will select two electives beyond the required courses.
Master's Thesis
All students will complete a Master's Thesis synthesizing
research and field practice in their area of concentration.

Professional Foundation
SWK 500 Human Behavior In The Social Environment
This course provides the knowledge basic to an understanding
of human growth through the life cycle, and of the interplay of
sociocultural, biological, and psychological factors which influence the growth of individuals and families in contemporary
American society. Emphasized is the role of the "nurturing
environment" in relation to human growth, the impact of the
"sustaining environment," and other special stresses relevant to
growth. Growth related to populations and groups which
represent ethnic and/ or life-style diversity is also a focus. Students will gain self-understanding through use of their own
experiences.
SWK 501 History of Social Welfare Policy
This course emphasizes the dynamic nature of social welfare
history and current social systems and social policy as they
relate to all our lives and especially to the lives of clients,
communities and social workers. Comparisons will be made
internationally, with a focus on Britain as influencing early U.S.
"poor law" and social welfare. Special emphasis will be placed
on analyzing the major assumptions, ideas and events which
contributed to the rise of the welfare state and the profession of
social work. The profession's values, ethics and historical
development will also be reviewed. Both theoretically and
practically, this course will enable students to assess the development of social welfare with an understanding of the influence
of social work and of the development and impact of social
policy.
SWK 502 Field Work I
Students will select their own field placement from a list of Programapproved agencies.
Beginning supervised professional experience in a social work
setting focusing on interviewing experience and relationship
building. Supportive seminars coordinate an integration of
theory and practice, as well as providing the supportive setting
for raising social work practice issues with peers.
SWK 503 Field Work II
Continuing supervised professional experience in the same social
work setting, consecutive to Field Work I, focusing on refining
previous skills and understanding and moving into new tasks,
showing initiative and progressively more independent work
over time.
SWK 504 Research I
Research plays an important role in building knowledge for
social work practice. This course will provide an overview of
methods commonly used in social science research, in addition to
the ethical and applicability concerns in social work research. Research design will be studied using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Methods of program evaluation will be discussed. This course will examine various approaches to organizing, comparing and interpreting data. Students will have
beginning hands-on experience with the use of computers to
analyze data statistically.
SWK 505 Methods and Skills of Social Work
This course identifies basic features of the helping process;
theoretical foundation, principles and techniques of Social Work
intervention. It provides role play and simulation experience
necessary for social work practice with individuals, groups,
families and communities. The course also emphasizes system
and social change through an introduction to community organization, social planning and social action. Throughout the course,
work with a diversity of professional, natural helping networks
and client groups is stressed.
Advanced Curriculum
SWK 520 Introduction to Family Practice
Theories and concepts underlying wholistic professional social
work practice with families will be explored. This course will
address concepts of families in their diverse forms and function
in the context of the life cycle of their members, family systems
theory, dual perspective, and stressors which may shape or alter
family development. Ethical issues of professional social work
practice with families are integral to this course.
SWK 521 Introduction to Program Development and
Administration: Organizational Theory
Because social services are commonly carried out through organizations, social workers are usually members of organizations. Thus, organizations and the effective functioning of
social workers within them is the focus of this course. With an
assumption of "organizations as communities," an overview of
theories of organizational development, maintenance and
communication will be presented. The contributions of diversity in the agency I community will be an important focus .
Social workers' important roles in agencies, as well as professional, ethical, effective functioning in organizations will be
explored.
SWK 523 & 524 Field Work III & IV
The purposes of the Field Support Seminars are (1) to provide
the student opportunities to share experiences from his/her
practice in a confidential setting; (2) to give and get support,
honest feedback, and valid encouragement on issues regarding
field placements, in particular, and social work practice with
families or in administration/program development, in general;
(3) to discuss and help the student integrate course-work into
the practice experience and to address the objectives of the
course. These seminars accompany the 480 hours of professional supervised field work in the area of concentration.
SWK 527 Research II
This course offers a practice-oriented exploration of the range of
research methods used in social work, a critique of the role of
research in assessing effectiveness in the social service delivery,
and identification with the responsibility of social workers "to
expand the knowledge base" of social work. Building on the
basic research skills developed in Research I, students actively
adopt the researcher's role in relation to both their current
agency experience and their preferred practice setting. The
course will enable students to use basic statistical methods for
organizing, interpreting and analyzing quantitative data, plus
creative techniques for qualitative data.
SWK 589 Research III: Master's Thesis
The study of research, like all of social work, comes alive in the
implementation. A thesis is required of all Master of Social
Work candidates so they may experience and learn the utility of
research to social work practice, and so they can contribute to
the knowledge of social work practice and to the building of
social work theory. The Master of Social Work thesis will be
based on an area of the student's practice focus. The research
- to be selected by the student in consultation with the thesis
advisor - will focus on an area of social need, practice, service
and/ or policy.
Concentrations
Family Practice
SWK 540 Family Practice I
This course builds on content initiated in the Introduction to
Families course, focusing in-depth on the "normal" developmental crises of the family across the lifespan, developing problemsolving methods and learning cross-cultural models of practice.
Various therapy theories will be introduced and critiqued.
Focus on all theories and analysis of service delivery models will
center on their relevance to empowerment of families.
This course is a prerequisite to SWK 541 Family Practice II and
must be taken prior to or concurrent with SWK 523 Field
Work III.
SWK 541 Family Practice II
This course is a continuation of Family Practice I. It will further
explore the family as cause and effect in the community in benefitting from or changing social policy. Students will study issues
for further discussion, culminating in development of their own

This course will examine how social workers can discover their
own creative abilities in relation to innovation in social work
supervision and practice. The course will examine the relationship of creativity and self-esteem. This course will also explore
ways to help others, e.g. workers, clients, agencies and communities to eliminate barriers which inhibit creative responses to
problem-solving and practice.
Program Development, Policy and
Administration
SWK 550 Processes of Program Planning and Development

private sectors are critical to successful implementation and
management of social service programs. An organization's
power to influence social policy is related to such relationships. The development and maintenance of these relationships so critical to the provision of services that address
community needs, and the influence of social policy to effect
social change will be the foci of this course. Among the topics
included are: interorganizational relations, public relations,
public information, political activity and leadership.
SWK 553 Advanced Social Policy
All social workers have impact on the development and modification of social policy whether intentionally or unconsciously. This course will provide an in-depth focus on the
development and implementation of social policy at the
various levels of the public and private sectors. The various
means by which social workers can have intentional impact on
policy-making and exercise leadership roles will be studied.
Reading, seminars and an internship in the policy area will be
included.
Electives
SWK 560 Issues of Diversity
Students will explore the dynamics and impact of a range of
diversity issues which are inherent in a heterogenous society,
e.g. race, religion, culture, ethnicity, gender, age, mental and
physical condition, affectional orientation, and lifestyle.
SWK 561 Comparative International Social Policy
This course analyzes approaches to social policy in a number of
countries. The course expands U.S. perspective by exploring
alternative approaches to shared social issues, such as unemployment, day-care, income maintenance, education, personal
social service, health and housing. Attitudes toward quality of
life and personal values and assumptions arising from a monocultural viewpoint will be reviewed in a global context. The
operation, methodology and organizational structure of
programs in different countries will be compared with attention to social change and differing socio-political, economic
environments. Attention will be paid to the variety of funding
sources and partnerships between public and voluntary groups
plus the diversity of priorities and traditions which influence
an orientation to the public or voluntary sector. The course
also builds an awareness of current agencies promoting international social policy and poses our responsibility to be internationally aware.
SWK 562 Creativity and the Problem-Solving Process
This course will explore creativity from traditional aesthetics
and from contemporary organizational understanding, showing the similarities and differences in approach. Using creativity as a method, the course will examine techniques for solving
problems in social work practice, for enhancing innovation,
and for seeking an integrative world view. Systems theory will
be studied as an example of an attempt to use an integrative
approach to personal and professional behavior. The class will
integrate social work with other fields in order to broaden the
outcomes of intellectual understanding and self-awareness.
A variety of electives based on student-generated topics will be
offered in this program.

.mntroduction
to the Master
of Social Work
Program Philosophy
The Master of Social Work program at Augsburg College is
based on the following:
..- Understanding of and respect for diverse people and cultures
..- A tradition of excellence in its programs, faculty and students
..- Its metropolitan location which attracts students from diverse
backgrounds
..- Access to many challenging and rewarding field placements
I.
..- A commitment to educate the whole person
..- A solid foundation in and integration with the liberal arts
..- Responsibility and service to and with the broader
community in the interests of social justice
..- Commitment to oppose oppression
..- A focus on client empowerment
..- Preparation for ethical, competent, professional practice
..- A framework for practice of problem-solving within a
systems perspective.
Dual concerns of the Augsburg Master of Social Work Program
are the delivery of service to families in all their diverse forms
and the planning, development and administration of services.
Social justice is a particular focus throughout the program, while
individuals are recognized as capable of adaptation, growth and
change. Intellectual, physical, spiritual, emotional and psychosocial issues are addressed with clients in relation to their locus,
be they within the individual, the family, the community or the
larger societal systems. Client self-determination, growth and
empowermen t (personal recognition of one's ability, rights and
place in the social change process) are recognized and fostered
through support and education. In the interests of constructive
social change that promotes social justice, students are educated
to address institutional oppression (e.g. , age, gender, race,
disability and religion).
Professional preparation at the Master of Social Work level at
Augsburg is founded on the following assumptions:
.., Analysis and presentation of complex social issues and
solutions must be based on solid research. Augsburg MSW
students will develop competencies to conduct, analyze and
present practice-based research .
.., The world is interdependent in all areas, including human
needs and the services to address them. Students will become
knowledgeable of social welfare policies and programs that
address changing needs of the world community.
Accommodating the Needs of Adult Learners
The Master of Social Work Program is designed to meet the
needs of adult students, (e.g. ,students who are employed, have
family obligations and/or must travel distance to obtain
graduate social work education). Augsburg College takes pride
in its focus on adult learners throughout its programs. TI1e
College is committed to education for experienced working
people. The Weekend College now equals the size of the
traditional day program. The library, student center, computer
center, counseling, parking, food service and many other
support services are open to accommodate students. Faculty
arrange office hours to meet student needs. Inexpensive oncampus accommodations are available for students who travel
to attend the program and wish to stay overnight. Classes meet
during alternate weekends in four hour blocks: Friday evening,
Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon. Students meet one
Sunday afternoon per trimester for a program seminar that
addresses specific professional issues related to ethics.
The MSW Program builds on the liberal arts base of the College
and supports the College's mission statement:
To dt.>velop future leaders of service to the world by providing
high quality educational opportunities wl11'ch are based in tlie
liberal arts and shaped by tlte faith and values of the Christian
Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an
intentionally diverse campus community.
The courses of study include the Core, the Concentration, one
elective and the Thesis seminar. Students must complete 18
courses (twelve, if the Foundation Core is waived). The complete program includes: nine core courses (six Foundation; three
Advanced) seven Concentration-related courses; one elective
and a Master's Thesis Seminar. This includes 900 hours of
professionally supervised, MSW Program-approved social work
field experience.
The Foundation Core begins the Augsburg MSW Program.
These six courses, including 420 hours of MSW Program
approved field work, must be successfully completed prior to
enrollment in the Advanced Core or concentration courses.
These courses may be waived for persons who hold a baccalaureate degree in Social Work from a CSWE accredited program.
•
I
The Pre-Concentration Core consists of three courses, which are
required of all students. These courses are the enrry point in the
program for persons with baccalaureate degrees in social work
from institutions accredited by the Council on Social Work
Education.
Concentrations
Concentrations are in two areas: Family Practice and Prognm
Development, Policy and Administration. These concentrations
include six courses beyond the Pre-Concentration Core, including 480 hours of college approved, professionally-supervised
field work. Research II focuses on practice of the concentration.
Family Practice
Family, in its diverse forms, is central to society. ''Pamily,"in this
context, is interpreted broadly as the nurturing system surrounding people. It is inclusive of many areas of need.
As a growing number of family-related challenges face society,
there is an ever-increasing need for professionals who base
their professional practice on in-depth study of the broad
spectrum of issues that confront the family. In the Family
Practice concentration, students will concentrate on promoting
empowerment of the family nurturing systems from a developmental and holistic perspective.
Program Development, Policy and Administration
Social change is necessary for fostering policies and service that
respond to human need. Tile Program Development, Policy, and
Administration concentration has been developed in response to
the growing demand for creative leadership and administration. Effective services require participative development,
competent practitioners, strong leadership and effective
administration. Students following this concentration will
develop the abilities and skills necessary to promote
and achieve needed change, and develop, lead, guide and
administer programs that will serve diverse people in a variety
of settings.
Electives
Students must select a minimum of one elective in their course
of study toward the MSW degree. Students are encouraged to
select other electives to develop special interests.
Master's Thesis and Seminar
The thesis is intended to represent the capstone of the student's
work.
All students complete a Master's thesis based on practice in
their area of concentration. A thesis seminar supports students
in developing their theses.

SWK 500 Human Behavior In The Social Environment
This course provides the knowledge basic to an understanding
of human growth through the life cycle, and of the interplay of
sociocultural, biological, and psychological factors which
influence the growth of individuals and families in contemporary American society. Emphasized is the role of the "nurturing
environment" in relation to human growth, the impact of the
"sustaining environment," and other special stresses relevant to
growth. Growth related to populations and groups which
represent ethnic and/or life-style diversity is a focus. Students
gain self-understanding through use of their own experiences.
SWK 501 History of Social Welfare Policy
This course emphasizes the dynamic nature of social welfare
history and current social systems and social policy as they
relate to all our lives and especially to the lives of clients,
communities and social workers. Comparisons are made
internationally, with a focus on England's influence on early U.S.
"poor law''and social welfare. Special emphasis will be placed
on analyzing the major assumptions, ideas and events which
contributed to the rise of the welfare state and the profession of
social work. The profession's values, ethics and historical
development are also reviewed. Both theoretically and practically, this course enables students to assess the development of
social welfare with an understanding of the influence of social
work and of the development and impact of social policy.
SWK 502 Field Work I
Students select their own field placement from a list of Programapproved agencies.
Beginning supervised professional experience in a social work
setting focuses on interviewing experience and relationship
building. Supportive seminars coordinate integration of theory
and practice, as well as providing the supportive setting for
raising social work practice issues with peers.
SWK 503 Field Work II
Continuing supervised professional experience in the same social
work setting, consecutive to Field Work I, focuses on refining
previous skills and understanding and moving into new tasks.
Initiative and progressively more independent work over time is
supported.
- ·_. ·:-..
SWK 505 Methods and Skills of Social Work I
This course identifies basic features of the helping process:
theoretical foundation, principles and techniques of Social
Work intervention. It provides role play and simulation
experience necessary for social work practice with individuals,
families and groups. Throughout the course, work with a
diversity of professional, natural helping networks and client
groups is stressed.
SWK 506 Methods and Skills of Social Work II
This course emphasizes systems and social change through a
focus on community organization, social planning and social
change and their connection to social policy. A focus on group
work continues into the macro setting with task oriented groups.
Other theories and methods appropriate to these macro approaches are studied. Skills are developed using role plays and
actual work with a community group. Throughout, the focus is on
work with diverse groups.
Pre-Concentration
SWK 504 Research I
Research plays an important role in building knowledge for social
work practice. This course provides an overview of methods
commonly used in social science research, in addition to the
ethical and applicability concerns in social work research. Research design is studied using both qualitative and quantitative
approaches. Methods of program evaluation are discussed.
Students have beginning hands-on experience with the use of
computers to analyze data statistically.
SWK 520 Introduction lo Family Practice
Theories and concepts underlying holistic professional social
work practice with families are explored. This course addresses
concepts of families in their diverse forms and function in the
context of the life cycle of their members, family systems theory,
the dual perspective, and stressors which may shape or alter
family development. Ethical issues of professional social work
practice with families are integral to this course.
SWK 521 Introduction to Program Development, Policy and
Administration
Social services are commonly carried out through organizations;
thus social workers are usually members of organizations.
Organizations and the effective functioning of social workers
within them is the focus of this course. With an assumption of
"organizations as communities," an overview of theories of
organizational development, maintenance and communication
are presented. The contributions of diversity in the agencyI
community is an important focus. Social workers' important
roles in agencies, as well as professional, ethical, effective
functioning in organizations are explored.
Concentrations
SWK 523 & 524 Field Work III & IV
The purposes of the Field Support Seminars are (1) to provide
the student opportunities to share experiences from his/her
practice in a confidential setting; (2) to give and get support,
honest feedback, and valid encouragement on issues regarding
field placements, in particular, and social work practice with
families or in administration/program development, in general;
(3) to discuss and help the student integrate theories and
methods from other social work classes into the practice experience; and (4) to promote the development of students' leadership roles in organizations. These seminars accompany the 480
hours of professional supervised field work in the area of
concentration.
SWK 527 Research II
This course offers a practice-oriented exploration of the range of
research methods used in social work, a critique of the role of
research in assessing effectiveness in the social service delivery,
and identification with the responsibility of social workers "to
expand the knowledge base" of social work. Building on the
basic research skills developed in Research I, students actively
adopt the researcher's role in relation to both their current
agency experience and their preferred practice setting. The
course will enable students to use basic statistical methods for
organizing, interpreting and analyzing quantitative data, plus
creative techniques for qualitative data.
Family Practice
SWK 540 Family Practice I
This course builds on content initiated in the Introduction to
Family Practice course, focusing in-depth on the "normal"
developmental crises of the family across the lifespan, and in
relation to the larger environment. Problem-solving methods and
cross-cultural models of practice are studied as well as policies
that affect families and practice.
This course is a prerequisite to SWK 541 Family Practice II and
must be taken prior to or concurrent with SWK 523 Field Work III.
SWK 541 Family Practice II
This course is a continuation of Family Practice I. It further
explores the family as cause and effect in the community in
benefitting from or changing social policy. Students will study
issues for further discussion, culminating in development of their
own service delivery models. Ethical and religious dilemmas (e.g.
abortion, euthanasia) will be raised. Advanced study of family
developmental issues focuses on catastrophic events and on
empowering families and the profession to take leadership in
developing appropriate intervention strategies and policies.
SWK 542 Family Diversity
This course examines the various theories underlying professional practice with families in their many diverse forms. Recognizing that the family is the basic institution through which one
is socialized, this course will also examine how family membership shapes one's understanding and appreciation of ethnicity,
gender roles, sociological script. The course also explores the
impact of policies, discrimination and political, social, and
economic disorder on diverse families.
SWK 543 Creative Problem Solving for Supervision
This course examines how social workers can discover their own
creative abilities in relation to innovation in social work supervision and practice. The course examines the relationship of
creativity and self-esteem. This course also explores ways to help
others, e.g. workers, clients, agencies and communities to
eliminate barriers which inhibit creative responses to problemsolving and practice.
Program Development, Policy and
Administration
SWK 550 Processes of Program Planning and Development
Building on the community organization and research foundation (including needs determination and program evaluation),
the primary processes of program development study in this
course are: techniques of program planning and budgeting,
development of necessary community and larger public support,
identification and mobilization of resources, and funding proposal preparation.
SWK 551 Organizational Development and Administration
The activities and skills necessary for effective program
administration are studied including short- and long-range
planning; leadership; program implementation and management; personnel recruitment, allocation, supervision and
management; social work values and ethics in the workplace;
analysis of financial statements; administrative policy, board
relations and agency policy implementation.
SWK 552 Interorganization, Community and
Political Relations
The development and maintenance of constructive relationships with external organizations in both the public and private
sectors are critical to successful implementation and management of social service programs. An organization's power to
influence social policy is related to such relationships. The
development and maintenance of these relationships so critical
to the provision of services that address community needs, and
the influence of social policy to effect social change are the foci
of this course. Among topics included are: interorganizational
relations, public relations, public information, political activity
and leadership.
SWK 553 Advanced Social Policy
All social workers have impact on the development and
modification of social policy whether intentionally or unconsciously. This course provides an in-depth focus on the development and implementation of social policy at the various
levels of the public and private sectors. The various means by
which social workers can have intentional impact on policymaking and exercise leadership roles is studied. Reading,
seminars and an internship in the policy area are included.

in consultation with the thesis advisor - focuses on an area of
social need, practice, service and/or policy.
The thesis seminar is described in the Thesis Guidelines, which
all students must review. The seminar provides a forum for
students to develop their thesis plans, consult with each other
and the faculty leader, present research methodology and
identify how they will accomplish completion of the thesis.

a student falls below a 3.0 average, the student will be placed
on probation for the following term. A 3.0 cumulative grade
point average must be restored in order for a student to be
removed from probation. If a student receives a grade of Nin a
course, the student must petition successfully with the MSW
Program Committee before being permitted to continue in the
program. A plan for the student to follow would be outlined at
that time. If the cumulative grade point average again falls
below 3.0, the student may be dismi ssed from the program by
the MSW Program Committee. Students also may be dismissed
by the MSW Program Committee for behavior d etrimental to
the program such as a gross violation of college policy (as
published in the Student Guide). Dismissal would occur only
after established procedures were followed.

assessing financial aid eligibility and offering financial aid from
available alternatives, including the following:
Augsburg Tuition Grant
Augsburg College may provide grants and scholarships to
graduate students who show academic potential and have
financial need.
Funded Scholarships
Augsburg actively pursues outside funding for special scholarships. The availability of such scholarships enables the participation of individuals of limited financial means as well as
individuals working for volunteer agencies and other organizations not likely to provide tuition reimbursement.
Company Tuition Assistance Programs
Many companies, agencies and corporations offer full or partial
tuition assistance to employees who participate in work-related
or degree-related college programs.
Bureau of Indian Affairs, 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 applying please contact Augsburg's American
Indian Support Program Director at 330-1138 or your tribal
agency.
Federal and State Aid Programs
The Office of Student Financial Services determines eligibility
for any Federal or State financial aid programs available to
graduate students. Determination of eligibility is based on
standard nationally accepted methodology.
Federal Perkins Student Loan -A joint Augsburg
College-federally funded program administered through the
College for students who demonstrate financial eligibility. No
interest accrues nor do payments have to be made on the principal
at any time you are enrolled at least half-time. Simple interest of 5
percent and repayment of the principal (at the minimum of $40 a
month) begin six months after you leave school (nine months for
new borrowers after 7-1-87). Repayment may extend up to 10
years. The maximum which may be borrowed for combined
undergraduate and graduate study is $30,000.
The Federal Family Education Loan Program
1) Federal Stafford Loan. Available to students based on a
financial eligibility determination. Annual loan limits are up to:
$2,625 per year for first year undergraduates
$3,500 per year for second year undergraduates
$5,500 per year for third year and beyond
$8,500 per year for graduate students.
Aggregate loan limits are $23,000 for undergraduates and
$65,000 for graduates (including undergraduate borrowing).
Interest rates for new borrowers with loan periods beginning
10/1/92 or later are determined annually by the 91-day
T-Bill+3.1 %, with a cap of 9%. Students with outstanding
balances on Stafford Loans (Guaranteed Student Loan) will
continue with the interest rate on the previous loan. No interest
accrues to the student borrower while enrolled at least half-time
in an eligible program. The federal government subsidizes the
interest during this time.
2) Federal Stafford Loan - Unsubsidized. Program characteristics (loan limits, interest rate, etc.) are the same as the above
subsidized Stafford Loan, except that the interest accrues to the
student borrower while enrolled. This loan is available to those
who do not qualify for the subsidized Stafford Loan. A normal
financial aid application is required.
3) Federal Supplemental Loan for Students (SLS). Available to
independent students who are enrolled at least half-time.
Variable interest rate is set annually (on July 1) with a cap of
11 %. Payment usually begins within 60 days of disbursement.

and $5,000 for third year and beyond. Graduate students may
borrow up to $10,000 per year. Aggregate loan limits are

year ($16,000 cumulative) as an undergraduate and $6,000 per
year for graduate students with a $25,000 aggregate maxiumum
when graduate study is included ($1,000 minimum). Interest
rate is variable, paid by the borrower quarterly while in school.
Principal payment begins 13 months after leaving school.
Students must apply for financial aid and be enrolled at least
half-time.

.B)bout Augsburg College
History
Augsburg College was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin,
and moved to Mipneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg
College and Seminary changed in 1963 when the Lutheran Free
Church merged with The American Lutheran Church.
Location
Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities
metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis
and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W.
Adjacent to the campus are the Riverside Medical Center, the
West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota and the
Mississippi River parkways.
Campus
Skyways, tunnels and elevators provide accessible connection
between 10 of the 15 major buildings - student housing
towers, College Center, main academic and administrative
halls, the Library, Music Hall and Foss Center for Worship,
Drama and Communication.
Accessibility
We have made a major effort to become one of the most
accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system
lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside.
In addition to building changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and provide extra help for students
with disabilities.
Church Affiliation
Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America. About 51 percent of the students are Lutheran,
15percent other Protestant and 15 percent Roman Catholic.
Several other affiliations are represented among students and
faculty.
Non-Discrimination Policy
Augsburg College does not 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 admission policies, educational programs,
activities, and employment practices.
