The History
Albany State College
Albany State College, established originally as the Albany Bible and
Manual Training Institute and supported by private and religious
organizations, was founded in 1903 by Joseph Winthrop Holley. The insti-
tute provided religious and manual training for negro youths of Southwest
Georgia. The mission was to train teachers to teach basic academic skills
and to train in the trades and industries, with special emphasis on domes-
tic science and art. The institute remained a privately supported institution
through 1917.
In 1917, the institution became a state-supported, two-year college with
a Board of Trustees and its name was changed to Georgia Normal and
Agricultural College. Offering only a limited program in agriculture, the
College viewed as its primary purpose the training of elementary teachers.
In 1932, the Board of Regents was established, and the institution
became a part of the newly established University System of Georgia.
In order to meet the changing needs of society, the mission of the
College was expanded in 1943, and the College was granted a four-year
status and was authorized to confer the bachelor's degree in elementary
education and home economics. At this time, the College assumed its pre-
sent name, Albany State College. Six years later, the program of the College
was again expanded to include offerings in the arts and sciences, with
majors in the humanities and social studies.
Beginning in 1954, secondary-level programs were developed for
teacher preparation in science, health and physical education, business,
music, mathematics and natural sciences. The college continued to experi-
ence growth and development and was authorized in 1961 to offer a four-
year degree program in nursing.
Always striving to address the educational needs of the time, the grad-
uate program, a cooperative effort with Georgia State University, was
added to the curriculum during the fall of 1972. Under this program, mas-
ters degrees were offered in business education, mathematics education,
elementary education, English education, health and physical education,
music education and science education (biology, chemistry and physics). In
the spring of 1975, a masters degree in business administration, through
Valdosta State College, was added to the graduate program.
During the decade of the '70s, the number of faculty earning the doc-
torate degree increased by more than fifty percent, and in September, 1981,
the College began offering a graduate program designed and delivered
solely by faculty and staff of Albany State College. Master's degrees in
business administration and education were offered. Since then criminal
justice, nursing and public administration have been added.
During this impressive growth and development, the college has been
guided by six presidents:
Joseph Winthrop Holley, D.D., LL.D. (1903-1943)
Aaron Brown, Ph.D., LL.D., Ed.D.(1943-1954)
William H. Dennis, LL.D. (1954-1965)
Thomas Miller Jenkins, J.D., LL.D. (1965-1969)
Charles L. Hayes, Ed.D. (1969-1980)
Billy C. Black, Ph.D. (1980-Present)

Summary of
Quarterly
Expenses
Albany State College provides financial assistance for promising Financial
students, who, without such help, would be unable to attend. The Assistance
College, however, believes that the principle responsibility for financing an
education lies with the student and his family.
The financial aid program is based on the financial need of the student.
Need is the difference between the cost of education at Albany State
College and the amount the applicant and his family are expected to
contribute toward the cost of education. These fees must be paid on the
date of registration.

Financial Aid
Before financial aid can be reinstated, the student must enroll at his
own expense until his average has been raised to the required standard.
A student may be considered making satisfactory progress if he completes
one quarter earning at least 10 quarter hours with a 2.5 or higher quarterly
gradepoint average. A graduated scale will be used to measure progress for
those students earning between five and nine quarter hours. Reinstatement
will be on a quarter-by-quarter basis.
Grades of "I" or "W" will not be considered in calculating satisfactory
progress.
Any student who is receiving financial aid and who withdraws from a
class after the schedule change period or withdraws from college must con-
tact the director of financial aid. The student must refund any assistance or
portion of assistance involved in the action.
If the student withdraws totally from the college and has already
received financial aid payments, repayment of unused funds will be neces-
sary. Unused funds refer to that portion of the grant or award given to the
student after tuition, fees, books and supplies are deducted.

Affairs/Services
The main objectives of the Student Affairs Department is to serve the
needs and interests of all students enrolled at Albany State College
through the cooperation of the administration, faculty, staff and the
students themselves.
Students come from a variety of environments, and each student is
governed in some respect by the moral and ethical values of his communi-
ty. Each student is serviced by the Student Affairs Department in a way
that leads to his optimum development.
Students entering the college for the first time are required to participate
in an orientation process a series of activities designed to facilitate their
psycho/social adjustment to the college. Included among these activities
are the following: (1) acquainting new students with the policies and pro-
cedures of the institution, (2) advising new students on the selection of
classes, and (3) registering for classes. One is scheduled each summer and
it is most advantageous for a student to attend.
There are four residence halls for women and two for men.
Accommodations in all dormitories are semi-private. Each room con-
tains twin beds, a desk, chest of drawers, study chairs, waste baskets and
closet space. Students are required to furnish bed linen, towels, mattress
pads, bedspreads and a pillow. Each room is equipped with a television
cable outlet and a telephone line. Regular cable viewing will be available.
Special features can be contracted through the cable company. Each room
will only have complete local telephone networking. Long distance will
require a credit card. Each residence hall has a director and a relief director,
who together give general directions to the affairs of the dormitory.
Student assistants also work with the residence directors.
To apply for a room, a room application will be sent to you after you
have been approved by the Admissions Office. When you return the appli-
cation along with a deposit, a lease agreement will be sent to you with your
dormitory assignment. A non-refundable room deposit is required.
The 21-meal plan is required of all students residing in the residence
halls. The cafeteria is closed during official holidays and quarter breaks.
A convenient snack area is also maintained in this facility.
Health Services may be obtained in the Health Center. The center is
staffed with well-trained nurses and two part-time physicians. The
physicians are on call at all hours, and are on duty for advice and treatment
during designated hours.
The center is open to students for out-patient treatment. No restrictions
are made on the number of visits.
Students seeking admission to the Infirmary must submit a valid report
on their health condition. Admissions may be denied any student who
does not complete information requested on health forms.
40
Student Affairs
The College does not assume financial responsibility for hospitaliza-
tion, special medications or blood plasma for a student. Upon the recom-
mendation of the College Physician, and with the permission of the
parents, such treatment will be obtained, and expenses will be charged
directly to the student or his parents.
The Health Center will be closed during official vacation periods. The
College reserves the right to request a student to submit to a medical exam-
ination whenever advisable. Registration may be denied any student,
prospective or enrolled, who, in the judgement of the College Physician, is
suffering from a malady which would endanger the health of others or for
which the College cannot provide services.
All students are required to have a Medical Record on file at the
Infirmary.
The primary function of the Counseling and Career Development Center
is to assist students in their total development by providing services
and programs to facilitate their intellectual, emotional, social and career
growth. The Center seeks also to aid students in determining a purpose
and direction for their lives and in developing coping skills and behaviors
to aid them in working more effectively with others in their environment.
The Center has two major components: Counseling and Testing and Career
Development/Placement.
Through its counseling components, the Center provides academic,
career and personal counseling. Counseling sessions are confidential, and
are conducted on a one-on-one basis as well as in small groups.
Through its testing components, institutional and national, the Center
services the testing needs of ASC students and the community through the
provision of various examinations, including the following:
Graduate Record Examinations (GRE)
National Teacher Examinations (NTE)
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT)
Other Tests Administered at Albany State College Are:
(1) The Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Some graduate schools require
the MAT for admission purposes; (2) College Level Examination Program
(CLEP). Successfully passing these tests will give ASC students an opportu-
nity to earn college credits by examination; (3) Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL). In some cases, foreign applicants are required to take
this test for admission purposes; (4) Institutional Scholastic Aptitude Test
(ISAT); (5) Georgia Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE); (6) National
League of Nursing Examination (NLN); (7) Law School Admission Test
(LSAT); (8) Major Field Achievement Test (MFAT).
The Center has available American Medical College Application Service
(AMCAS) forms. These forms provide financial aid information for students
seeking admission to medical schools.
The Counseling/Career Development Center, through its Career
Development and Placement component, provides a centralized placement
service for currently enrolled students and alumni who seek career employ-
ment opportunities. Services included career counseling, reference
resources, on-campus recruitment, credential services, career resource
library, graduate andprofessional schools visitations, seminars and work-
shops and internships. The Center is responsible for coordinating student

annually sponsors a Career Fair, Youth Motivation Task Force Program, and
a Teacher Placement Day Program.
The Career Resource Library contains annual reports and information
about local, state, and national employers; reference guide, catalogs, directo-
ries, and other resource materials. The Center solicits notices from graduate
and professional schools for scholarships and fellowships and also job
openings from city and county government, schools, local and national
industry and business.
Albany State College policy regarding students with learning and
physical disabilities complies with the University System Board of
Regents policies and all related Federal legislation. Students who havfe ' '
documented disabilities, who have met all of the admissions criteria and
who are otherwise qualified, should voluntarily register with the
Counseling and Career Development Center. Albany State College
attempts to make reasonable accommodations which enable disabled
students to pursue their educational goals.
The Regents Center for Learning Disorders at Georgia Southern is one of
three centers in Georgia established by the Board of Regents to provide
standardized assessment, resources and research related to students within
the University System suspected of having learning disorders. Each center
serves designated colleges and universities within a geographic region,
and follows criteria established by the Board of Regents for identifying stu-
dents wiith suspected specific learning disabilities or Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADI ID). The Regents Center professional
staff members will review documentation for specific learning disabilities,
ADHD, or Acquired Brain Impairment supplied by a student or, will pro-
vide a new evaluation.
Any student interested in having an evaluation must contact the
Disabilities Service Provider or Coordinator on their own campus for infor-
mation concerning the availability of this service. The Disabilities Service
Provider or Coordinator will also make available the criteria for identifying
specific learning disabilities or ADHD or for accepting outside evaluations
(assessment completed by an agent other than one of the three centers).
Albany State College recognizes the need for spiritual guidance in the
lives of its students and endeavors to give such guidance through non-
denominational religious activities. One of the highlights of the annual
campus activities is the observance of Religious Emphasis Week. At this
time, ministers and spiritual consultants from various churches and organi-
zations are invited to participate.
ID Cards are obtained from the Office of Student Activities at the begin-
ning of each quarter. Photographing students is a part of the registration
procedure. The ID Card, which is not transferable, should be carried at all
times, andif lost, costs $25.00 to replace.

Statement of
Disruptive and

Behavior
An integral part of the students' educational development at Albany
State College is athletics, both intercollegiate and intramural. All stu-
dents are encouraged to participate either as competitors or spectators. The
college desires each student to participate according to his ability, and par-
ticipation is particularly emphasized for students majoring in physical edu-
cation. Their participation will have special importance in preparing them
for future careers.
The James C. Reese Student Union is a building designed to enhance
Albany State College's concept and philosophy for student activities.
The two-story facility brings together student program and recreational
areas. A comfortable, naturally lighted lounge area greets building users.
Students have access to bookstore and post office services on the main.,
floor, which also incorporates a vending area and game room.
The Reese Union displays stunning murals of the Albany State College
RAM mascot in several locations, including the multi-purpose room, an
area that houses campus receptions, lectures, dances and registration.
The second floor of the facility holds administrative offices, student
government offices, study areas and television viewing rooms.
Class attendance at Albany State College is compulsory. Students'
grades are based on daily class participation and performance.
Teachers will not administer examinations and quizzes to students who
have been absent from class for reasons other than official business of the
College, sickness, or emergencies such as death in immediate family, jury
duty, court summons, etc. The Vice President of Student Affairs will offi-
cially certify all excuses.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reaffirms its
policies to support fully, freedom of expression by each member of the
academic community and to preserve and protect the rights of freedom of
its faculty members and students to engage in debate, discussion and
peaceful and non-disruptive protest and dissent. The following statement
relates specifically to the problem described below. It does not change or in
any way infringe upon the Board's existing policies and practices in sup-
port of freedom of expression and action. Rather, it is considered necessary
to combat the ultimate effect or irresponsible disruptive and obstructive
actions by students and faculty which destroy academic freedom and the
institutional structures through which the College operates.
In recent years, a new, serious problem has appeared on many college
and university campuses in the nation. Some students, faculty members
and others have, on occasion, engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other
44
Student Affairs
activities that have clearly and deliberately interfered with the regular and
orderly operation of the institution concerned. Typically, these actions have
been the physical occupation of a building or campus area for a protracted
period of time for the use of, or display of, verbal or written obscenities
involving indecent or disorderly conduct.
These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of
meetings for discussion, persuasion, or even protest, in that: (1) acquies-
cence to demands of the demonstrators is the condition for dispersal and
(2) the reasonable and written directions of institutional officials to
disperse have been ignored. Such activities thus have become clearly recog-
nizable as an action of force, operating outside all established channels on
the campus, including that of intellectual debate and persuasion which are
at the very heart of education.
The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this problem. Under the
constitution of the State of Georgia, under all applicable court rulings and
in keeping with the tradition of higher education in the United States, the
Board is ultimately responsible for the orderly operation of the several
institutions of the University system and the preservation of academic
freedom in these institutions. The board cannot and will not divest itself of
this responsibility.
For these reasons and in order to respond directly and specifically to this
new problem the Board of Regents stipulates that any student, faculty mem-
ber, administrator or employee, acting individually or in concert with others,
who clearly obstructs or disrupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any
teaching, research, administrative, disciplinary, or public service activity, or
any other activity authorized to be discharged or held on any campus of the
University System of Georgia is considered by the Board to have committed
an act of gross irresponsibility and shall be subject to disciplinary procedures,
possibility resulting in dismissal or termination of employment.
The Albany State College students have a collective right to an appropri-
ate voice in the making of institutional policy generally affecting their
social or academic affairs; however, this right is subject to the supervening
responsibility of the institution to assure adequate protection for essential
interests and policies of the institution. This collective right is recognized
by the inclusion of student representation with full voting privileges on all
standing institutional committees. To the extent that students are
foreclosed from sharing in the making of particular decisions, or kinds of
decisions, the institutional policy or interest deemed to require the foreclo-
sure will be explicitly stated. Students will always share in the formulation
of standards of student conduct.

Policies of those students enrolled in degree programs in the University
System Institutions will be administered. The following statement shall be
48
Academic Regulations & Support Services
the policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia on
this examination.
It is the responsibility of each institution of the University System of
Georgia to assure the other institutions, and the System as a whole, that stu-
dents obtaining a degree from the institution possess the basic competence
of academic literacy; that is, certain minimum skills of reading and writing.
Specific information relative to Regents' Test regulations is available in
departmental offices, the Office for Academic Affairs, and the Office of the
Coordinator of the Regents' Test Program.
A special Regents' Test Program procedure has been outlined and is
designed as an alternative means of assessing the reading and writing
competencies of foreign students whose native language is other than
English, and handicapped students who are physically unable to follow the
Regents' Test Program established by the Board of Regents.
Foreign students whose native language is other than English and
handicapped students whose physical impairments prevent their taking
the Regents' Test will petition the Office for Academic Affairs for exemp-
tion from the Regents' Testing Program.
The Vice President for Academic Affairs will determine the validity of
students' requests and forward all justifiable requests to the Chairperson of
the Department of English and Modem Languages who will review each
request for exemption and designate a three-member panel of English
instructors to test the applicant for language competency according to the
Foreign Students' Alternative Test or according to the Handicapped
Students' Alternative Tests. The foreign student7s failure to demonstrate
satisfactory competence in reading and writing skills will require that the
applicant: (a) take tutorial or remedial work designated by the VP for
Academic Affairs until the student is able to achieve an acceptable score on
a standardized examination for students whose native language is other
than English, or (b) take and pass a course in English as a Second Language.
The handicapped student's failure to demonstrate competence in read-
ing and writing will necessitate the applicant: (a) attend special tutorial or
remedial sessions designated by the VP for Academic Affairs, and (b)
repeat the procedures outlined for certification of competence.
Students with learning disabilities will be accommodated on the
Regents' Test in accordance with approved (University System of
Georgia) procedures.
The normal time required to complete degree requirements is four acade-
mic years, when student carries a full quarter load, 15 to 18 hours, and
no remedial courses. The maximum time allotted for completing degree
requirements is six academic years or 18 quarters. Beyond this period,
approval must be obtained on a quarter by quarter basis from the VP for
Academic Affairs.
Students changing programs will be required to meet the requirements
of the department to which the change is being made and must follow the
course of study indicated by that department.
The normal credit load is from 15 to 18 quarter hours. Students desiring
to carry more than a normal load must have the approval of their advi-
sor, department chairperson and dean of the respective school. Permission
to carry 19 or 20 hours will require a 3.00 or above cumulative grade point
average. Permission to carry more than 20 hours will require a 3.00 or

of residence. No student will be allowed to carry more than 23 hours dur-
ing any one quarter. A graduating senior can carry an overload with a 2.50
cumulative GPA one quarter (only) during the senior year.
Academic Support
Services
Academic advisement is available to each student at Albany State
College. An advisor will assist each student in planning a program of
studies in keeping with the student's educational-vocational objectives.
Advisors aid the student in selecting academic subjects, in interpreting col-
lege regulations and requirements, and in meeting these requirements in
correct sequence. Advisors maintain a record of the student's academic
progress from quarter to quarter.
Students are responsible for consulting their advisor on all aspects of
their educational program. No student is expected to register for a course
which has not been approved by the advisor or departmental chairman.
Each student should visit his/her advisor at least once per quarter for a
conference and program evaluation.
Final grades are submitted at the end of the quarter to the Registrar's
Office, and these are made a part of a student's permanent record.
Copies of these reports are sent to the students, to departmental chairper-
sons and to the parents and guardians upon approved request.
The official grades with their meanings and quality points follow:
"A" EXCELLENT: Four quality points are allowed for each quarter
credit hour.
"B" GOOD: Three quality points are allowed for each quarter credit
hour.
"C" SATISFACTORY: Two quality points are allowed for each quarter
credit hour.
"D" LOWEST PASSING GRADE: One quality point is allowed for
each quarter credit hour.
"F" FAILURE: This mark indicates poor scholastic work or failure to
withdraw officially from the course. In such cases, students must
take the required courses at the next opportunity. Students may
repeat an elective course if desired. No quality points are allowed.
"I" This symbol indicates that a student was doing satisfactory work,
but that a student was unable to meet the full requirements of the
course because of reasons beyond his or her control. The require-
ments for removal of an "I" are left to the respective institutions in
the University System; however, if an "I" is not satisfactorily
removed after three quarters of matriculation, the symbol "I" will
be changed to "F". To remove an INCOMPLETE, the student must
secure a permit from the Registrar's Office and submit it to the
instructor. The instructor will execute a Change of Grade form and
submit it to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs
for approval.

Special recognition as a course of encouragement is given those students
who have done superior work. Honors and awards for scholarship are
announced on Honor's Day. At the end of the quarter, a list of all students
who made an average of "B" (3.0 grade point average) or above during the
quarter is posted and designated as the Dean's List. To be eligible for the
Dean's List, a student must maintain a "B" average and must have carried
a credit load of at least 12 quarter hours.
Academic achievement may be recognized by election to membership
into Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Society and/or one of the discipline
honor societies during the junior or senior year.
To graduate with honors, a student must have a cumulative grade
point average of 3.0 or higher based on the 4.0 system, must have been in
residence at Albany State College for at least two academic years and must
have completed a minimum of ninety quarter hours. The average will be
based on all college work completed. The notation of honors is made on
the commencement program, the student's permanent record and
transcripts as follows:
Cum Laude If the cumulative average is between
3.00 and 3.49.
Magna Cum Laude If the cumulative average is between
3.5 and 3.74

Students who do not satisfy the above requirements, but have earned a
grade point average of 3.0 or higher may graduate "with distinction".
To assure the most beneficial use of time and resource's of both the stu-
dents and the institution, certain academic standards have been set by
Albany State College. If a student is to make and maintain satisfactory
progress, he must adhere to these standards.
Three factors affect a student's academic status; namely, the cumulative
grade point average (GPA), the number of quarter hours earned, and the
number of quarters completed.
The maximum time allotted for completing degree requirements is six
(6) years or eighteen (18) quarters.
A student is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress as
long as he adheres to the following standard:

A minimum of 12 hours must be completed by part-time students by
the end of the first three quarters. They will be expected to complete one-
half of the credit hours designated under each academic year.
A student who fails to meet the minimum standards will be placed on
academic probation. He may be considered making satisfactory progress if
he completes at least 10 quarter hours, with a minimum grade point aver-
age of 2.50 for the quarter.
If the student does not meet the minimum standards after the addition-
al quarter, he may be suspended for one quarter.
If a student elects to change his major or course of study after
completing 114 quarter hours, the institution will reconsider the student7 s
adherence to the maximum time frame and reevaluate, on an individual
basis, for an additional year on the maximum time frame. Only one major
course of study change will be considered for increasing the maximum
time frame.
An appeal process is available for students who have extenuating cir-
cumstances which account for their lack of progress. The appeal process is
initiated by writing a statement to the Admissions and Academic
Evaluation Committee indicating the specific reasons for the failure to
make satisfactory progress. The Committee will review the statement as
well as past academic progress and will contact the student of its decision.
The appeal process must be initiated by the student within 10 days of the
notice of probation or suspension.

Academic Regulations & Support Services
Students receiving financial aid must meet the minimum academic
standards. If suspended, the student is not eligible for federal financial aid
until all academic standards have been raised to the minimum level. (If a
student's academic status falls below the minimum standards, he will be
placed on financial aid probation for two quarters. If at the end of the sec-
ond quarter the minimum standards have not been met, all financial assis-
tance will have to be cancelled.)
Students enrolled in Developmental Studies courses will not be eligible
for financial aid beyond three quarters.
A transfer student will be eligible for financial assistance based on the
number of accepted hours.
Academic advisement is available to
each student at Albany State college.

Students readmitted to the College on a probationary status after an
extended break in enrollment (eight years or more) shall have a
reasonable length of time to meet the criteria for satisfactory progress.
The students shall be evaluated quarterly using the same criteria as
designated for other probationary students. Satisfactory progress will
be considered on the basis of a 2.50 or better quarterly average for 10 or
more hours.
The probationary duration for these returning students will continue as
long as the QGPA of 2.50 is maintained, noting that they may not have
attained the required criteria for satisfactory progress.
Students who fail to meet the 2.50 GPA criteria will be warned with the
letter that gives them one more quarter (regular extended probation). Any
subsequent failure to maintain a 2.50 average may result in their suspension.
The student is responsible for registering under the proper residence
classification. If there is a question about a student's right to be classi-
fied as a legal resident of Georgia, it is the student's obligation to get the
matter clarified prior to registration. The burden of proof rests with the
student and any documents presented to support his or her contention will
be reviewed. A petition to be reclassified as a resident of Georgia can be
obtained from the Admissions Office or from the Registrar's Office.
Supporting documents and petitions should be returned by September 1
for fall quarter; December 1 for winter quarter; March 1 for spring quarter;
and June 1 for summer quarter.
All documents should be returned to the Registrar's Office. If a student
is not approved, he or she may appeal to the president of the College with-
in five days. If the petition is approved, reclassification will not be retroac-
tive to prior quarters.
A student who is classified as a resident of Georgia must notify the
Registrar immediately of any change in residence status. If it is determined
that the student has misrepresented or omitted facts which result in classi-
fication or reclassification as a resident student, retroactive charges for non-
resident fees will be made by the Fiscal Affairs officer.

SCHOOL OF ARTS
AND SCIENCES
The School of Arts and Sciences includes the Departments of Criminal
Justice, Developmental Studies, English and Modem Languages, Fine
Arts, History and Political Science, Mathematics and Computer Science,
Natural Sciences and Psychology, Sociology and Social Work.
Through the cooperation of several departments, the School of Arts and
Sciences offers pre-professional training in the areas of pre-law, pre-medi-
cine, pre-dentistry and pre-pharmacy.
Pre-Medicine dmission to medical school usually requires a minimum of three years
of undergraduate or, preferably, a Bachelor's degree. A Bachelor's
degree with a major in Biology or Chemistry and minor in one of the sci-
ences offers excellent preparation for admission to medical school.
(Students interested in medicine are advised by the Pre-Med advisor.)
This is a two-year sequence offered by the Department of Chemistry
with emphasis on the core curriculum and courses in biology, chem-
istry and mathematics. At the end of the second year, students in the pro-
gram transfer to a school offering a degree in Medical Technology.
Pre-Pharmacy re-pharmacy students are advised to take nine quarters of courses in
the areas of chemistry and biology before transferring to a school of
pharmacy.
Pre-Law ^fhe requirements for entrance to law school can be satisfied in one of
I several majors. Two, three or four years in a B.A. or B.S. degree
program can comprise the pre-law program. Interested students should
select a degree program and electives which will help them to attain the
following objectives: (1) fluency in written and spoken English; (2) the abil-
ity to read difficult material with rapidity and comprehension; (3) a solid
background in American History and Government; (4) a broad basic edu-
cation in social and cultural areas; (5) a fundamental understanding of
business, including basic accounting procedures; and (6) the ability to rea-
son logically.
Department of
Criminal Justice
The Department of Criminal Justice offers the Bachelor of Science Degree
in Criminal Justice and the Master of Science Degree in Criminal
Justice. The programs prepare students for professional employment in the
criminal justice system and/or for graduate studies in criminal justice and
law. The curriculum is both broad and flexible enough to permit students
to pursue course work in a wide variety of criminal justice topics cutting

The Department of Developmental Studies assists students in improving
and developing basic oral and written communications, mathematics
and reading - as well as personal development and study skills.
Developmental Studies courses are non-credit and designed for students
who indicate by test results, academic deficiencies in the basic skills of
reading, mathematics and English. The focus of these courses is on the
needs of the students at their individual levels of ability and development.
Students with a combined Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score below
700 are required to take the College Placement Examination to deter-
mine proficiency in the areas of reading, English and mathematics.
Students scoring less than 350 on the SAT-Verbal and/or less than 350
on the SAT-Mathematics or 18 on the ACT-English or 16 on the ACT-
Mathematics will be required to take the College Placement Examination in
mathematics, English and reading.
Students will be required to register only for those courses in which
they demonstrate a deficiency; for example: if there is a deficiency in math-
ematics and a required proficiency in English and reading skills, the stu-
dent will register for a Developmental Studies course in mathematics and
regular college courses which do not have developmental requirements as
prerequisites.
Students must take required Developmental Studies courses during
their first quarter of enrollment and continue taking them for each quarter
of enrollment until all requirements have been completed. Developmental
studies students may not accumulate more than 30 hours of academic credit
before completing all developmental requirements. If they do, they will not
be allowed to take further credit courses until these requirements are met.
Students taking their Developmental Studies courses and college credit
courses may not drop or withdraw from Developmental Studies courses and
remain in college credit courses. An advisor must advise and approve the
schedule of a student who is withdrawing or dropping a course or courses.

Suspension
Students must complete academic deficiencies within a specified time
frame established by the Board of Regents. A student who has not com-
pleted requirements for exiting a developmental studies course (English,
reading, mathematics) after four attempts shall be suspended from Albany
State College for one quarter. If the following grades were earned, A, B, C,
D, F, WF, or IP, the enrollment is considered an attempt.
A student who is readmitted will be allowed no more than one attempt
per area to satisfy any Developmental Studies deficiencies, and will take no
other work simultaneously at the institution. Readmitted students not exit-
ing Developmental Studies within one attempt will then be suspended for
three quarters after which they may only be readmitted upon written per-
mission of the president, and then will only have two attempts per area
during which time enrollment will be limited to Developmental Studies
requirements only. All time spent in developmental studies areas within
the University System of Georgia shall be cumulative. Students shall not be
permitted more than four attempts in developmental studies.
Academic appeals may be a written communication directed to the
Vice President of Academic Affairs, or Academic Appeals Committee. If the
grievance is not resolved, the Vice President will make a recommendation
for communication with the President.

The Department of Psychology, Sociology and Social Work offers pro-
grams leading to the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, Sociology
and Bachelor of Social Work Degree.
The student who earns a bachelor's degree in psychology gains a funda-
mental understanding of the principles of human thought, emotion and
behavior. In addition to the program's emphasis on psychological factors
and human learning, biological and social determinants of human behavior
are also emphasized as well as research methods. This broad based training
prepares students to understand; evaluate and influence their own behav-
ior as well as the behavior of others. Because psychology is relevant to
numerous fields, job opportunities for psychology majors are diverse and
include employment in such areas as business and industry, educational
settings, mental health agencies and hospitals, governmental agencies
(including the military and criminal justice system), etc. Students who plan
to become professional psychologists or mental health practitioners will be
prepared to continue their education in order to obtain a graduate degree
in one of the more than 40 areas of specialization within psychology.

and social groups. In contrast to psychology, which focuses on individual
behavior, sociology examines human behavior at the group level.
Sociologists attempt to explain how and why society changes over time,
and how and why societies differ from one another. The program of study
in sociology provides students with adequate competencies for successful
graduate study in sociology, other related behavioral sciences, gerontology
and religion. The degree provides some employment options at the bache-
lor's level and, by carefully selecting sociology and allied electives the stu-
dents can enhance their employment possibilities. Sociology majors can
also pursue a dual degree with either psychology or-social work as the sec-
ond major.

Special Programs
The Honors ^Phe Honors Program at Albany State College is designed to provide
Program I superior students with opportunities to maximize their intellectual
potential and to provide them with higher degrees of challenge and com-
petition. To this end, the Honors Program offers students the opportunity
to receive individualized instruction, thereby interacting with top faculty
members: to enroll in small, enriched classes, to pursue areas in interest
through independent projects and research; and to participate with others
of similar abilities.
Admission ^Phe Honors Program seeks to recruit academically talented students
I whose records and performance reflect an ardent desire for an in-depth
and enriched educational experience. While standards to measure such an
individual may be arbitrary, a freshman applicant ordinarily should (1)
have an aggregate minimum SAT score of 1000 or above, (2) rank in the top
five (5) percent of his or her high school graduating class, (3) exhibit poten-
tial for leadership and academic excellence, and (4) demonstrate his ability
to read with comprehension and to utilize communication skills (oral and
written) effectively.
Retention candidate's admittance to the Honors Program does not necessarily
^^mean that the student will remain in the program. Yearly, the Honors
Academic Policy and Planning Committee reviews the progress made by
each student and determines whether the student should continue in the
program. A student accepted in the Honors Program may exit the program
under one of these conditions:
1. Graduation with GENERAL HONORS designation: Those students who
complete all college requirements for graduation, who fulfill all Honors
Program course requirements and who have an overall grade point aver-
age of 3.0 or above will graduate with GENERAL HONORS designation.
(Existing graduation honors based solely on grade-point average will
continue and run parallel to the Honors Program).
2. Voluntary transfer into the regular degree program: Some students may
elect not to qualify for GENERAL HONORS and choose only portions of
the Honors curriculum to satisfy standard graduation requirements.
3. Mandatory transfer into the regular degree program: Upon a review of a
candidate's performance by the Honors Academic Policy and Planning
Committee, a student may be dropped from the program if his or her
grade point average falls below 3.0. A student whose grade point aver-
age falls below 3.0 will be counselled and informed that he or she will be
dropped from the program if he or she fails to achieve a quarter point
average of 3.0 the following quarter. A student should seek to maintain a
grade point average of 3.0 or above at all times.

Cooperative ^Cooperative Education is a program in which students are employed for
Education specific periods of off-campus work as a required part of their academ-
ic program. This employment is related as closely as possible to the
student's course of study and his individual interest. The Albany State Plan
consists of a four-year pattern of work and campus study. It begins after
the student has successfully completed his freshman year.
The innovative program enables a student to prepare realistically for a
meaningful career by allowing him to relate classroom theory to practical
application on the job. While the student is engaged in productive
employment, he will have the chance to observe skilled professionals at
work in their fields of specialty an opportunity which will help him
decide whether his vocational aspirations show promise of long range
personal satisfaction.
The "Co-op" Program at Albany State College is open to all students in
all areas of professional interest and preparation.
The requirements for entrance into the Co-op Program areas follows:
1. Successful completion of forty-five quarter hours (three quarters) of acade-
mic credit with a 2.50 grade point average or better out of a possible 4.00.
2. Successful completion of a series of interviews with the Director of

Department of
Military Science
Albany State College offers courses in Basic and Advanced Military
Science. The basic courses, taken during the freshman and sophomore
years, are designed to teach principles and techniques of leadership and to
framing Corps! develop in each student an understanding of the role of the Army in the
Program defense of the United States. The purpose of the advanced course, taken
during the junior and senior years, is to educate selected students in a bal-
anced course of officer training, both theoretical and practical, which will

Special Programs
qualify them to perform the duties of a commissioned officer in the Army
of the United States. Each student who successfully completes the
advanced course will, upon receiving his Bachelor's Degree, be commis-
sioned as a second lieutenant in one of the career branches in the United
States Army.
While participating in the advanced course, each student is paid $100
per month for the academic school year, not to exceed 10 months for each
of two years, or a total of $2,000. Additionally, during the summer between
the junior and senior years, while the student attends the Advanced ROTC
Summer Camp, he/she will receive approximately one-half of a second
lieutenant7s pay for the six-week period.
For those students who were unable, or did not elect, to enroll in the
basic course and who desire to pursue a commission, the Army has
developed a two-year program. The requirements of the basic course can
be met by attending a six-week ROTC Basic Summer Camp the summer
prior to enrollment in the advanced course. Veterans who wish to pursue a
commission may enter the advanced program with evidence of satisfactory
prior service, appropriate academic standing and approval of the Professor
of Military Science.
In 1964, Congressional legislation authorized college scholarships for
selected students enrolled in the ROTC Program. The scholarships are
awarded on a competitive basis to help outstanding young people pay for
their college education while completing requirements for a commission in
the United States Army.
Scholarships are available for twq (nurses only), three and four year
periods and include the following: (a) Payment of $8,000 per year for
tuition, textbooks, fees and other educational expenses for the duration of
the scholarship, (b) Payment of $100 per month subsistence allowance for
the duration of the scholarship. There are also opportunities for
students/cadets to compete for scholarships during ROTC Basic Camp.
Departmental Mission
The mission of the ROTC program is to instruct and train the ROTC
cadet so that each graduate shall have the qualities and attributes essential
to a progressive and continuing career as an officer in one of the branches
in the United States Army. Inherent in this mission are the objectives:
1. Mental - To provide a collegiate education in a mutually agreed disci-
pline leading to a Bachelor's Degree.
2. Moral - To develop in the cadet a high sense of duty and the attributes

tial to the profession of arms.
3. Physical - To develop in the cadet those physical attributes essential to a
career as an officer in the United States Army.
4. Military - To provide a broad military education rather than individual
proficiency in the technical duties of junior officers. Such proficiency is
of necessity, a gradual development, the responsibility for which
devolves in the graduates themselves and upon the commands and
schools to which they are assigned after being commissioned.

The University
System of
Ceorgia___________________________________
The University System of Georgia includes
all state-operated institutions of higher
education in Georgia - six universities, 13 senior
colleges, 15 two-year colleges. These 34 public
institutions are located throughout the state.
A 15-member constitutional Board of
Regents governs the University System, which
has been in operation since 1932. Appointments
of Board members are made by the Governor,
subject to confirmation by the State Senate. The
regular term of Board members is seven years.
The Chairperson, the Vice Chairperson and
other officers of the Board are elected by the
members of the Board. The Chancellor, who is
not a member of the Board, is the chief
executive officer of the Board and the chief
administrative officer of the University System.
The overall programs and services of the
University System are offered through three
major components: Instruction; Public
Service/Continuing Education; Research.
Instruction consists of programs of study
leading toward degrees, ranging from the
associate (two-year) level to the doctoral level,
and certificates.
Requirements for admission of students to
instructional programs at each'institution are
determined, pursuant to policies of the Board of
Regents, by the institution. The Board
establishes minimum academic standards and
leaves to each institution the prerogative to
establish higher standards. Applications for
admission should be addressed in all cases to
the institutions.
Public Service/Continuing Education
consists of non-degree activities, primarily, and
special types of college-degree-credit courses.
The non-degree activities are of several
types, including short courses, seminars,
conferences, lectures and consultative and
advisory services in a large number of areas of

interest. These activities are designed by each
institution to meet special educational,
informational and cultural needs of the people
of the service areas of that institution.
Typical college-degree-credit public
service/continuing education courses are those
offered through extension center programs and
teacher education consortiums.
Research encompasses investigations
conducted primarily for discovery and
application of knowledge. These investigations,
conducted on campuses and at many off-
campus locations, cover a large number and a
large variety of matters related to the
educational objectives of the institutions and to
general societal needs.
Most of the research is conducted through
the universities; however, some of it is conducted
through several of the senior colleges.
The policies of the Board of Regents for the
government, management and control of the
University System provide autonomy of high
degree for each institution. The executive head
of each institution is the President, whose
election is recommended by the Chancellor and
approved by the Board.
State appropriations for the University
System are requested by, made to, and allocated
by the Board of Regents.
