History
Albany State University, 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
Institute provided religious and manual training for African American 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 domestic science and art. The Institute remained a privately supported Institution until
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 four-year status and was authorized to confer the bachelors degree in elementary
education and home economics. At this time, the College assumed the 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 expe-
rience 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 graduate 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 edu-
cation, 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 doctorate 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. Masters degrees in business administration
and education were offered. Since then criminal justice, nursing and public administration have been added.
Albany State College was granted university status in July 1996 and the name of the Institution was
changed to Albany State University.
During this impressive growth and development, the University has been guided by the following
presidents:
Joseph Winthrop Holley, D.D., LL.D. (1903-1943)
Aaron Brown, Ph.D., LI..D., Ed.D. (1943-1954)
William H. Dennis, LL.D. (1954-1965)
Thomas Miller Jenkins, J.D., LL.D. (1965-1969)

Financial Aid Information
Albany State University provides financial assistance for promising students, who, without such help,
would be unable to attend. The University, however, believes that the principle responsibility for financing
an education lies with students and their families.
Financial aid programs are based on the financial needs of students. Need is the difference between the
cost of education at Albany State University and the amount applicants and their families are expected to
contribute toward the cost of education. These fees must be paid on the date of registration.
Financial Aid Application Procedures
Students desiring financial aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Form
(FAFSA). Instructions for completing the form and appropriate addresses are all contained within the FAFSA
packet.
Transfer Students Only
Transfer students must complete Part I of a Financial Aid Transcript form and forward it to the finan-
cial aid office of each college, university, or post secondary institution previously attended. Each school must
complete its portion of the form and must return the form directly to Albany State University. The Finan-
cial Aid Transcript form may be obtained from the Office of Recruitment, Admissions and Financial Aid,
Albany State University, Albany, GA 31705-2797. (No aid can be awarded until financial aid transcripts have
been filed in the Office of Recruitment, Admissions and Financial Aid).
Although applications (FAFSA) are accepted throughout the academic year, it is advisable to apply so
that the FAFSA is on file by April 15.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Federal regulations require that all students receiving any form of financial assistance make and main-
tain satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their degrees in order to remain eligible to
receive assistance. Students are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress if they meet the two
standards of measurement.
Students receiving financial aid must meet the minimum academic standards. If suspended, students are
not eligible for federal financial aid until all academic standards have been raised to the minimum level. (If
students academic status falls below the minimum standards, they will be placed on financial aid probation
for two semesters. If at the end of the second semester the minimum standards have not been met, all finan-
cial assistance will have to be cancelled.)
Students enrolled in Developmental Studies courses will not be eligible for financial aid beyond three
terms.
Transfer students will be eligible for financial assistance based on the number of accepted hours.
Qualitative Measurement
All students are expected to maintain the same academic standards (grade point average) as outlined in
the official catalog of Albany State University. Students who fail to meet these academic standards will be
placed on academic suspension. Students who are placed on academic suspension and receiving financial
aid will have their financial aid terminated. Financial aid recipients that are placed on academic suspension
at the end of their last semester of enrollment are not eligible for financial aid.
Quantitative Measurement
In addition to maintaining the required grade point average, students must complete the requirements
for their degree within a maximum number of hours and complete a minimum percentage of credit hours
attempted each academic year.
The maximum number of hours allowed is 150% of the number of semester hours required to earn a
degree. For example, at Albany State University, the average degree requires 120 semester hours for com-
pletion, therefore students may not receive financial aid after they have attempted 180 semester hours.
Students must successfully complete 67% of the courses for which they register each academic year. The
grades of A, B, C, D and S count as the successful completion of coursework. The grades of F, W, I, IP, U and
V do not count as the successful completion of coursework. Students completion rates will be reviewed at
the end of the spring semester. Students starting spring semester will not be reviewed until the following
spring semester, which will allow the students at least two semesters to prove themselves academically eli-
gible for financial aid.
1998-200t Undergraduate Catalog
Students may apply for reinstatement of financial aid after they have completed, 6 or more semester
hours at their own expense with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 al Albany State University. A grad-
uated scale will be used to measure progress for students earning fewer than 6 semester hours (5 hours-2.25
GPA; 4 hours-2.5 GPA; and 3 hours-3.0 GPA). Reinstatement will be on a semester by semester basis.
Appeals Process
An appeals process is available for students who have extenuating circumstances that account for their
lack of academic progress. Appeals must be made in writing to the Financial Aid Committee. Students must
complete Financial Aid Appeals petitions along with supporting documents to indicate the specific reason(s)
for failure to make satisfactory progress. The committee will review the statement and supporting docu-
ments, as well as past performance and past academic record. Students will be notified in writing of the
committees decision.
Developmental Studies/Leaming Support
Students enrolled in Developmental Studies/Leaming Support courses are eligible to receive financial aid
for a maximum of 30 hours of academic credit. If Developmental Studies courses must be taken beyond 30
hours of academic credit, students must enroll at their own expense.

Student Affairs/Services
The main objective of the Student Affairs Division is to serve the needs and interests of all students
enrolled at Albany State University through the cooperation of the administration, faculty, staff and the stu-
dents themselves.
Students come from a variety of environments, and each student is governed in some respect by the
moral and ethical values of his community. The Student Affairs Division provides services to facilitate opti-
mum development for each student.
Orientation
Students entering the University for the first time are required to participate in an orientation process
which includes a series of activities designed to facilitate their psycho/social adjustment to the University.
Included among these activities are the following: (1) acquainting new students with the policies and proce-
dures of the institution, (2) advising new students on the selection of classes, and (3) registering for classes.
One orientation is scheduled each summer and it is most advantageous for students to attend.
Housing/Residence Life
There are three residence halls for women and three for men. Accommodations in the three traditional
halls are double occupancy with double and triple occupancy in the new halls. Each room contains twin
beds, a desk, chest of drawers, study chair, waste baskets and closet space. Students are required to furnish
bed linen, towels, mattress pad, bedspread and a pillow. Each room is equipped with a television cable out-
let and a telephone line. Regular cable viewing is available. Each room has only one complete local tele-
phone network. Long distance telephone calls require a credit card. Each residence hall has a director and
an assistant director, who together give general direction to the affairs of the residence hall. Student assis-
tants also work with the residence directors.
To apply for a room, a housing application will be sent to students after they have been officially admit-
ted to the University by the Admissions Office. When students return the completed application along with
the required deposit, a lease agreement will be sent to them with their residence hall assignment. The hous-
ing deposit consist of a combined application fee and security/damage deposit. The application portion of
the fee is non-refundable. The security/damage deposit is refundable if there is no damage to the assigned
room and common areas of the residence hall.
The 21-meal plan is required of all students residing in the residence halls. The cafeteria is closed during
official holidays and semester breaks. A convenient snack area is also located in the Reese Student Union.
Health Services
Health services may be obtained in the Student Health Center. The center is staffed with well-trained
nurses and nurse practitioners. The center is open to the students for out-patient treatment. No restrictions
are made on the number of visits.
Students seeking admission to the student health center must submit a recent and valid physical exam-
ination report and a current immunization shot record. Registration may be denied to any student who does
not submit the required information requested on health forms.
The University does not assume financial responsibility for hospitalization, special medications or blood
plasma for a student. Upon the recommendation of the attending 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 Student Health Center will be closed during official vacation periods. The University reserves the
right to request a student to submit to a medical examination whenever advisable. Registration may be
denied any student, prospective or enrolled, who, in the judgment of the University Health Services, is suf-
fering from a malady which would endanger the health of others or for which the University cannot pro-
vide services. All students are required to have a physical examination record and immunization shot record
on file at the Student Health Center.
Counseling, Testing and Career Development
The primary function of the Counseling, Testing 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.

the University System of Georgia Board of Regents policies and all related Federal legislation. Students who
have documented disabilities, who have met all of the admissions criteria and are otherwise qualified, should
voluntarily register with the Counseling and Career Development Center. Albany State University provides
accommodations which enable disabled students to pursue their educational goals.
Regents Center for Learning Disorders
at Georgia Southern
The Regents Center for Learning Disorders at; Georgia Southern is one of three centers in Georgia estab-
lished by the Board of Regents to provide standardized assessment, resources and research related to Uni-
versity System students 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 identi-
fying students with specific learning disabilities or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The
Regents Centers professional staff members review documentation, for specific learning disabilities, supplied
by a student or provide a new evaluation.
Any student interested in having an evaluation must contact the Disabilities Service Provider or Coor-
dinator on their own campus for information concerning the availability of this service. The Disabilities Ser-
vice Provider or Coordinator also makes 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).

Statement of Disruptive and Obstructive Behavior
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reaffirms the policies to support fully, free-
dom 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-disrup-
tive protest and dissent. The following statement relates specifically to the problem described below. It does
not change or in any way infringe upon the Boards existing policies and practices in support of freedom of
expression and action. Rather, it is considered necessary to combat the ultimate effect or irresponsible dis-
ruptive and obstructive actions by students and faculty which destroy academic freedom and the institu-
tional structures through which the University 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 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 inde-
cent or disorderly conduct.
These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings for discussion, persuasion,
or even protest, in that: (1) acquiescence 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 activ-
ities thus have become clearly recognizable 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 Geor-
gia, 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 Univer-
1998-2001 Undergraduate Catalog
ALBANY
STATE
sity 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 member, administrator or employee, acting individually or in con-
cert 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, possibly resulting in dismissal or
termination of employment.
The Right: to Share in Policy Making
The Albany State University students have a collective right to an appropriate voice in themaking 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 vot-
ing privileges on all standing institutional committees. To the extent that students are foreclosed from shar-
ing in the making of particular decisions, or kinds of decisions, the institutional policy or interest deemed
to require the foreclosure will be explicitly stated. Students will always share in the formulation of standards
of student conduct.
1998-2001 Undergraduate Catalog
Academic Information

programs in the University System Institutions will be administered. The following statement shall be the
policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia on this examination.

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.
Regents Test Procedures for Foreign
and Handicapped Students
Foreign students whose native language is other than English and handicapped students whose physi-
cal impairments prevent their taking the Regents Test will petition the Office for Academic Affairs for
exemption 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. That Depart-
ment 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 accord-
ing to the Handicapped Students Alternative Tests. The foreign students failure to demonstrate satisfacto-
ry competence in reading and writing skills will require that the applicant: (a) take tutorial or remedial work
designated by the Vice-President 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 students failure to demonstrate competence in reading and writing will necessitate the
applicant: (a) attend special tutorial or remedial sessions designated by the Vice President 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.
Matriculation Time Far Degree
The normal time required to complete degree requirements is four academic years when the student car-
ries a full load, 15 to 16 semesters, and no remedial courses. The maximum time allotted for completing
degree requirements is six academic years or 12 semesters. Beyond this period, approval must be obtained
on a term by term basis from the Vice-President 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.
Credit Load
The normal credit load is from 15 to 16 semester hours. Students desiring to carry more than a normal
load must have the approval of their advisor, department chairperson and dean of the respective school. Per-
mission to cany 17 or 18 hours will require a 3.0 or above cumulative grade point average. Permission to
cany more than 18 hours will require a 3.0 or above cumulative average and a 3.0 semester GPA during the
last semester of residence. A graduating senior can carry an overload with a 2.5 cumulative GPA one semes-
ter (only) during the senior year. In special cases, students may be permitted to carry more than 20 hours
per term provided permission is granted by the Vice-President for Academic Affairs.

Academic Advisement
Academic advisement is available to each student at Albany State University. An advisor will assist each
student in planning a program of studies in keeping with the students educational-vocational objectives.
Advisors aid the student in selecting academic subjects, in interpreting University regulations and require-
ments, and in meeting these requirements in correct sequence. Advisors maintain a record of the students
academic progress on a term basis.
The student is responsible for consulting the advisor on all aspects of his/her educational program. No
student is expected to register for a course which has not been approved by the advisor or departmental per-
son. Each student should visit his/her advisor for conferences and program evaluations.
Grading System
Final grades are submitted at the end of the semester to the Registrars Office, and these are made a part
of a students 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:

Honors and Awards
Special recognition is given as encouragement to those students who have done superior work. Honors
and awards for scholarship are announced on Honors Day. At the end of the semester, a list of all students
who made an average of B (3.0 grade point average) or above during the semester is posted and desig-
nated as the Deans List. To be eligible for the Deans List, a student must maintain a B" average and must
have carried a credit load of at least 12 semester 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 University, and must have completed a minimum of 60 semes-
ter hours. The average will be based on all college work completed. The notation of honors is made on the
commencement program, the students permanent record and transcripts as follows:
Summa Cum Laude If the cumulative average is between 3.75 and 4.00.
Magna Cum Laude If the cumulative average is between 3.5 and 3.74
Cum Laude If the cumulative average is between 3.00 and 3.49.
Students who do not satisfy the above requirements, but have earned a grade point average of 3.0 or higher may
graduate with distinction".

Academic Standing
To assure the most beneficial use of time and resources of both the student and the institution, certain
academic standards have been set by Albany State University. If a student is to make and maintain satis-
factory progress, he must adhere to these standards.
Three factors affect a students academic status; namely, the cumulative grade point average (CGPA), the
number of semester hours earned, and the number of semesters completed.
The maximum time allotted for completing degree requirements is six (6) years or eighteen (18)
semesters.
A student whose academic standing falls below the minimum prescribed standards will be governed by
the following:
1. Academic Warning. An Academic Warning status will be indicated when a students GPA falls
below 2.0. The Academic Warning status will be removed if the students GPA becomes 2.0 or
above at the end of the next term.
2. Academic Probation. If the GPA of a student whose status is that of Academic Warning
remains below 2.0 at the end of the term, the students status becomes that of Academic Pro-
bation. A student whose status is that of Academic Probation must achieve a grade point aver-
age o%2.0 or greater at the end of the subsequent term to preclude Academic Suspension. If
the student achieves a 2.0 or greater GPA, the students status will revert to good standing.
3. Academic Suspension. A student whose status is that of Academic Probation and fails to
achieve a GPA of 2.0 or greater at the end of the term may be suspended for one term.
4. Developmental Studies. To preclude having two standards (one for Developmental Studies
students arid another for new students), the same standards above will apply for all students.
Both new students and students exiting Developmental Studies will be tracked using the
standards described above beginning'with their first term entering the University or their first
term exiting Developmental Studies.
5: Readmission. Upon being readmitted after suspension, students must pay for and cany a
minimum of 9 credits and achieve a minimum term GPA greater than 2.0 to preclude subse-
quent suspension for at least a year. For any new readmissions, this same standard will apply.
Academic Probation/Suspension
A minimum of 16 hours must be completed by part-time students by the end of the first two semesters.
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 six hours, with a minimum grade point aver-
age of 2,0 for the semester.
If the student does not meet the minimum standards after the additional semester, he may be suspend-
ed for one semester.
If a student elects to change his major or course of study after completing 76 semester hours, the insti-
tution will reconsider the students 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
1998-2001 Undergraduate Catalog
considered for increasing the maximum time frame.
An appeal process is available for students who have extenuating circumstances which account for their
lack of progress. The appeal process is initiated by writing a statement to the Admissions and Academic Eval-
uation Committee indicating the specific reasons for the failure to make satisfactory progress. The Commit-
tee will review the statement as well as past academic progress and will notify the student of its decision.
The appeal process must be initiated by the student within 10 days of the notice of probation or suspension.
If suspended, students must apply for readmission. Readmitted students will remain on probation until sat-
isfactory academic progress is achieved.
Residence Classification
Residence status is not changed automatically, and the burden of proof rests with the student to provide
documentation that he or she qualifies as a legal resident under the regulations of the Board of Regents of
the University System of Georgia. To insure timely completion of required processing, a student/applicant
requesting a change in residence classification for a specific semester should file the Petition for Georgia
Residence Classification and all supporting documentation, not later than three weeks (20 working days)
prior to registration. Decisions prior to registration cannot be guaranteed when petitions and all supporting
documentation are received after the specified deadline.
If the petition is denied and the student /applicant wishes to petition for a later semester, a new Petition
for Georgia Residence Classification must be submitted for that semester.
A petition to be reclassified as a resident of Georgia can be obtained from the Registrars Office. Sup-
porting documents and petition should be returned by July 1 for fall term, November 15 for spring term and
Mayl for summer term.
Legal residents of Georgia, as well as certain categories of nonresidents, may be enrolled upon payment
of resident fees in accordance with the following Regents rules:
Legal Residency Requirements (Regents' Rules]
1. (a) If a person is 18 years or oldeq^he or she may register as a resident student only upon
showing that he or she has been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least twelve
months immediately before the beginning date of registration, (b) No emancipated minor or
person 18 years of age or older shall be deemed to have gained or acquired in-state residence
status for fee purposes while attending any educational institution in this state, in the absence
of a clear demonstration that he or she has in fact established legal residence in this state.
2. If a person is under 18 years of age, he or she may register as a resident student only upon
showing that his or her supporting parent or guardian has been a legal resident of Georgia for
a period of at least 12 months immediately preceding the date of registration.
3. If a parent or legal guardian of a minor changes his or her legal residence to another state
following a period of legal residence in Georgia, the minor may continue to take courses for a
period of twelve consecutive months on the payment of instate tuition. After the expiration of
the twelve-month period, the student may continue his or her registration only upon the pay-
ment of fees at the out-of-state rate.
4. In the event that a legal resident of Georgia is appointed as guardian of a nonresident minor,
such minor will not be permitted to register as an in-state student until the expiration of one
year from the date of court appointment and then only upon a proper showing that such
appointment was not made to avoid payment of the out-of-state fees.
5. Aliens shall be classified as nonresident students: provided, however, that an alien who is liv-
ing in this country under an immigration document permitting indefinite or permanent resi-
dence shall have the same privilege of qualifying for in-state tuition as a citizen of the United
States.
6. Waivers: An institution may waive out-of-state tuition for:
(a) nonresident students who are financially dependent upon a parent, parents or spouse who
has been a legal resident of Georgia for at least twelve consecutive months immediately
preceding the date of registration; provided, however, that such financial dependence shall
have existed for at least twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the date of reg-
istration;
(b) international students, selected by the institutional president or his or her authorized repre-
sentative, provided that the number of such waivers in effect does not exceed one percent
of the equivalent full-time students enrolled at the institution in the fall semester immedi-
ately preceding the semester for which the out-of-state tuition is to be waived;
1998-2001 Undergraduate Catalog
(c) full-time employees of the University System, their spouses and their dependent children;
(d) medical and dental residents and medical and dental interns at the Medical College of
Georgia.
(e) full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia or in the programs of the State Board of
Technical and Adult Education, and their dependent children. Teachers employed full time
on military bases in Georgia shall also qualify for this waiver;
(f) career counselor officers and their dependents who are citizens of the foreign nation which
their consular officer represents, and who are stationed and living in Georgia under orders
of their respective governments. This waiver shall apply only to those consular officers
whose nations operate on the principle of educational reciprocity with the United States;
(g) military personnel and their dependents stationed in Georgia and on active duty unless
such military personnel are assigned as students to system institutions for educational pur-
poses.
(h) selected graduate students at university-level institutions.
(i) students who are legal residents of out-of-state counties bordering on Georgia counties in
which an institution of the University System is located and who are enrolled in said insti-
tution.
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
classification or reclassification as a resident student, retroactive charges for non-resident fees will be made
by the Fiscal Affairs officer.
PLEASE NOTE: In order to avoid delay and inconvenience upon arrival for registration, prospective stu-
dents should seek clarification of all questions concerning residence status at the time of admission. Ques-
tions for clarification should be addressed to The Registrar, Albany State University, Albany, Georgia 31705.
Registration and Schedule Changes
Course registration offered by the University is under the direct supervision of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs. Complete instructions for registration are printed in the schedule of classes each term. The
registration process is vital to the organization and structuring of the students program. The student is
expected to participate in the process and check the courses for which he registers in an attentive and
responsible manner. Any student adding a course to his schedule without authorized permission from his/her
advisor or departmental chairperson in which he/she is majoring may lose credit for the course added.
Dates, times and places for regular registration, late registration, and schedule changes can be obtained
from the class schedules. Late registrants are accepted for a limited time after regular registration is
announced in the class schedule. A late fee is charged to late registrants. A students enrollment status is
determined by the credit load he/she has paid for on the last day of registration. The student is responsible
for attending the class(es) for which he/she registers.
Auditing Courses for IMoncredit
Students may register to audit a course with the permission of the instructor. Audited courses will not
be counted as a part of the normal course load, and a grade of V will be awarded. Instructors may estab-
lish special conditions for students who audit their courses. Students must pay for audited courses at the
same rate as regular courses.
Students who wish to audit a course(s) must register as auditors and are not permitted to change from
audit to credit or from credit to audit after the last day for late registration.
A form to audit a course and instructions for processing the form must be obtained from the Registrars
Office prior to registration.
Withdrawal from University
Students who find it necessary to withdraw from Albany State University must secure and complete
withdrawal forms from the Registrars Office and have them signed by the Vice-President for Student Affairs,
the Vice-President for Fiscal Affairs, the Director of Financial Aid and the Registrar. The student is respon-
sible for submitting one copy of the properly signed form to each of the above listed offices and for retain-
ing a copy of the form for personal records. The Registrar's Office notifies instructors of a students official
withdrawal after the University has received a properly signed form. Students entitled to a fee refund will
be mailed a check from the Office of Fiscal Affairs.
A student may withdraw from Albany State University with a grade of W by a date published in the
academic calendar. After this time limitation, a student who finds it necessary to withdraw must have evi-
1998-2001 Undergraduate Catalog
dence to support the reason for approval from the Vice-President for Student Affairs to receive a grade of
W. Students suspended for disciplinary reasons may receive the grade of W. In some cases, the WF
grade may apply.
Transcripts
The Registrars Office maintains the academic records of students and issues transcripts of credits for any
student who has fulfilled all financial obligations to Albany State University. The official transcript will be
issued to any institution, organization or agency if a written request is made by the student. Three to five
working days should be allowed for processing of transcripts. The transcript fee is $3.00. The fee for pro-
cessing a transcript within 24 hours is $7.00. This does not include mailing fee.
Transcripts from other colleges and high schools are not provided to the student. The student must con-
tact the previous college or high school for those transcripts. All transcript requests must be made in writ-
ing. There are no exceptions. Students can receive unofficial copies of the transcript. Official transcripts with
the seal of the institution must be sent directly to the institution dr agency using them. Unofficial transcripts
can be transmitted via telecopier/FAX at!an additiorial1 cost of $ 10.
Academic Classification

earned hours:
Freshmen 0-29
Sophomores 30-59
Juniors 60-89
Seniors 90 & above
Unclassified-Students who have not filed all necessary official documents or who must validate work
completed at nonaccredited colleges are listed as unclassified. Any student failing to have credentials on file
in the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid by the end of the semester for which he/she is registered may
be requested to withdraw.
Special-College graduates who are not studying toward another undergraduate degree are classified as
special students.
Academic Renewal Policies and Procedures

tion and assistance pertaining to eligibility and application for Veterans Educational Benefits.
Buckley Amendment:
Albany State University is in full compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of
1974. This Act was designated to protect the privacy of educational records and to provide guidelines for
the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Copies of this policy
are on file in the Registrars Office, and are made available at registration.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average is the ratio of quality points earned to the number of credit hours attempted.
The grade point will be calculated for each student at the end of each semester and will be printed on the
grade report as follows:
I J The term grade point average is the number of grade points earned for the term divided by
the number of credit hours attempted for that term.
2. The cumulative grade point average is the number of all grade points earned divided by the
total number of hours attempted.
3. Incomplete I grades are not calculated in the grade point average until the I is removed.
Repeat Policy Statement
The University provides an opportunity for students to repeat courses in which D" or F grades are
earned. The following stipulations apply:
1. Effective for all undergraduate students enrolled Fall Quarter, 1997 or after, only the first
passing grade will be used to compute the GPA.
2. The first passing grade earned above D will be reflected in the cumulative GPA, in lieu of
the prior grades.
3. Grade(s) earned in any subsequent repeat of the same course will not be counted.
4. In applying the criteria for determination of honors and other awards, all grades will be used
in the calculations.
State of Georgia Legislative Requirements
An act of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia requires that all candidates for degrees possess
and demonstrate a reasonable mastery of United States history, Georgia history, United States Constitution
and Georgia Constitution. These requirements can be met at Albany State University by taking and passing

instruction, thereby interacting with top faculty members; to enroll in small, enriched classes; to pursue areas
of interest through independent projects and research; and to participate with others of similar abilities.
The Honors Program seeks to recruit academically talented students 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, (2) rank in the top 5/o of his or her high school graduating class, (3) exhibit potential for
leadership and academic excellence, and (4) demonstrate an ability to read with comprehension and to uti-
lize communication skills (oral and written) effectively.
A candidates admittance to the Honors Program does not necessarily mean that the studept 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 imthe
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 Honors Program course requirements and who have
an overall grade point average of 3.0 or above will graduate with GENERAL HONORS desig-
nation. (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 candidates perfor-
mance 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 average falls below 3.0 will be counseled and informed that he or she will be dropped
from the program if he or she fails to achieve a semester grade point average of 3.0 the fol-
lowing semester. A student should seek to maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or above at
all times.
Continuing Education
and Community Development
At Albany State University, continuing education means non-credit programs, short courses, seminars,
workshops, conferences and teleconferences. Activities are designed to appeal to the professional, cultural
and Recreational interests of the residents of the community. Since courses cannot be taken for college cred-
it or later converted to college credit, college admission requirements are not applicable.
Continuing education courses are open to any interested citizen. Most activities are self-supporting and
therefore require a nominal registration fee. Participants who enroll in professional courses, courses leading
toward certification and other work related courses are eligible for CEUs. Special arrangements are available
to professional agencies who meet continuing education guidelines and criteria.
One can expand professional and personal horizons through participation in a broad array of continu-
ing education programs and courses.
SDL) Credit
Individual Staff Development Units" for school system employees and other educational agencies may
be awarded contingent upon the PRIOR APPROVAL of the appropriate certifying agent for the respective
educational agency.

Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education is a program in which students are employed for specific periods of off-campus
work as a required part of their academic program. This employment is related as closely as possible to the
students course of study and interest. The Albany State plan consists of a four-year pattern of work and
campus study. It begins after students have successfully completed the freshman year.
The innovative program enables students to prepare realistically for meaningful careers by allowing
them to relate classroom theory to practical application on the job. While students are engaged in produc-
tive employment, they will have the chance to observe skilled professionals at work in their fields of spe-
cialty-an opportunity which will help them decide whether their vocational aspirations show promise of
long range personal satisfaction.
The Co-op Program at Albany State University is open to all students in all areas of professional inter-
ests and preparation. The requirements for admission into the Co-op Program are as follows:
1. Successful completion of thirty (30) semester hours of academic credit with a 2.5 grade point
average or better out of a possible 4.0.
2. Successful completion of a series of interviews with the Director of Co-op and/or Co-op
Advisory Committee.
A transfer student must meet both the above requirements and must have completed at least twelve (12)
semester hours of academic work at Albany State University with a 2.5 grade point average or better out of
a possible 4.0.
Off-Campus Programs
Off-Campus Programs are coordinated by the Office of Academic Affairs and are thereby governed by
all policies of Academic Affairs. For the purpose of off-campus instruction, the Vice-President for Academ-
ic Affairs is assisted by a coordinator who, in this capacity, works with deans and chairpersons of academ-
ic units to assist them with assessing the educational offerings at sites within the Universitys service area.
For efficiency, the University has identified off-campus program sites that are dispersed throughout its
geographical area. All off-campus programs or courses are offered at or via these off-campus sites.
Off-campus sites are currently located at Bainbridge, Thomasville, the Marine Corps Logistics Base,
Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Fitzgerald, Pearson, and Tifton. An Instructional Center Liaison serves
each off-campus site where there is a need. The instructional center liaison will coordinate instructional
activities offered at and via that site. These persons will relate directly with the corresponding departmen-
tal chairperson and coordinator of Off-Campus Programs in providing for programs at the off-campus site.

Department of Military Science
Army ROTC Program
Reserve Officers Training Corps
Albany State University 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 develop in each student an understanding of the role of the Army in the 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 balanced course of officer training, both theoretical and practical, which will qualify them to perform the
duties of a commissioned officer in the Army of the United States. Upon receiving the Bachelors Degree
each student who successfully completes the advanced course will be commissioned 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 $150 per month for the academic
school year, not to exceed 10 months for each of two years, or a total of $3,000. 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 lieutenants pay for the five-week period.
Two-Year Program
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 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.
Scholarship Program
The Army ROTC Scholarship Program offers financial assistance to outstanding young men and women.
Each scholarship pays tuition, books, labs and other associated fees, plus a subsistence allowance of $1,500
per year ($150 per month). All scholarships provide the same benefits unless otherwise noted. Army ROTC
offers a variety of scholarships. They are:
Four-year National-open to all qualified high school students accepted to any four-year col-
lege/university with a ROTC program.

arship winners. Qualifications-2.5 GPA.
Professor of Military Science (PMS) Two-Year Incentive-special scholarship awarded by the
PMS to any qualified student.
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 to this mission are the objectives:
1. Mental-to provide a collegiate education in a mutually agreed discipline leading to a Bache-
lors degree.
2. Moral-to develop in the cadet a high sense of duty and the attributes of character, with
emphasis on integrity, discipline and motivation essential 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 tech-
nical duties of junior officers. Such proficiency is of necessity, a gradual development, the
responsibility for which evolves in the graduates themselves and upon the commands and
schools to which they are assigned after being commissioned.
'Any student who successfully completes military science courses (MILS 1110, 1120, 2210 OR 2220)
with a C or better can substitute 1 unit of Physical Education towards graduation credit.
Requirements for ROTC
A. General

riculum and courses in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. At the end of the second year, students in the
program transfer to a school offering a degree in Medical Technology.
Pre-Pharmacy
Pre-pharmacy students are advised to take nine semesters of courses in the areas of chemistry and
biology before transferring to a school of pharmacy
Pre-Law
The requirements for entrance to law school can be satisfied in one of 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 writ-
ten and spoken English; (2) the ability to read difficult material with rapidity and comprehension; (3) a solid
background in American History and Government; (4) a broad basic education in social and cultural areas;
(5) a fundamental understanding of business', including basic accounting procedures; and (6) the ability to
reason logically.
1998-2001 Undergraduate Catalog
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 across law enforcement, .courts, corrections, research, policy analysis and planning and oper-
ations. Students are encouraged to take internships in criminal justice, social service and/or human service
agencies.
A minor in Criminal Justice studies, requiring 18 hours of designated study, is offered with a concen-
tration in law enforcement or corrections.

Developmental Studies/
Learning Support
Department of Developmental
Studies/Learning Support
The Department of Developmental Studies/Leaming Support assists students in improving and develop-
ing basic oral and written communications, mathematics and readingas well as personal development and
study skills. Developmental Studies/Leaming Support 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 who do not meet the University's established score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or
American College Test (ACT) are required to take the College Placement Examination (CPE) to determine pro-
ficiency in reading, English and mathematics. Those persons failing to take the required number of college
preparatory courses are also required to take the CPE.
Students scoring less than 430 on the SAT-Verbal and /or less than 400 on the SAT-Mathematics or less
than 18 on the ACT-English and/or less than 16 on the ACT-Mathematies will be required to take the Col-
lege 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 mathematics and a required proficiency in English and reading skills, the
student will register for a Developmental Studies/Leaming Support course in mathematics and regular col-
lege courses which do not have developmental requirements as prerequisites.
Students must take required Developmental Studies/Leaming Support courses during their first semester
of enrollment and continue taking them for each semester of enrollment until all requirements have been
completed. Developmental Studies students may not accumulate more than 20 hours of academic credit
before completing all developmental requirements. If they do, they will not be allowed to take further cred-
it courses until these requirements are met.
Students taking their Developmental Studies/Leaming Support courses and college credit courses may
not drop or withdraw from Developmental Studies/Leaming Support 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.
DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES SUSPENSION
A student must complete academic deficiencies within a specified time frame established by the Board
of Regents. A student who has not completed requirements for exiting a Developmental Studies area (Eng-
lish, reading, mathematics) after twelve semester hours or three semesters, whichever occurs first, will be
suspended. A student may not be considered for readmission within three years of the suspension.
Prior to suspension, a student may appeal in writing to the Chairperson of Developmental Studies/Leam-
ing Support for one additional course. The student must be individually evaluated and determined to have
a reasonable chance of success, be in an exit level course and have reached the limit in only one Develop-
mental Studies area. If granted the additional course, the student may enroll in only the Developmental
Studies course.

Fine Arts
Department of Fine Arts
The Department of Fine Arts offers degrees in three major specialty areas: Art, Music, and Speech/The-
atre. The Department also provides non-major courses in art, music, speech and theatre in support of the
liberal arts curriculum requirements of the University.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Art offers concentrations in drawing, painting, sculpture, graphics and
crafts. The program provides the student broad technical knowledge and professional skills through varied
instruction in the studys disciplines. It is further reinforced by arranged interaction with professional artists
through residencies, seminars, and student apprenticeships/intemships, and by liberal subjects promoting
identification of purpose and social awareness-necessary adjuncts to the development of the creative artist.
Potential Art majors seeking admittance into the discipline must submit a portfolio of previous work for
review and approval before a majors" status can be granted. Additionally, for acceptance into and gradu-
ation from the discipline, each student must have, and thereafter maintain, a cumulative grade point aver-
age of 2.25 or better. All majors must earn a minimum grade of C in each art course. Majors must perform
satisfactorily on the Regents Test and complete the Graduate Record Examination.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Music offers applied concentration in voice, piano, wind instruments, and
percussion. The program also offers courses in music theory, ear-training, counterpoint, form and analysis,
music history, and literature with emphasis on performance, leading to further study at the graduate or pro-
fessional level. Participation in performance organizations relative to the students area of applied specialty
is also required. Music majors may enter the discipline either at the freshman or transfer level. It is impor-
tant for entering freshman music majors to identify themselves before or upon registration, as there are
music division entrance requirements. It is also important that potential music majors immediately become
enrolled in the proper sequential theory and applied classes which begin at the freshman level. Transfer stu-
dents will enter at a stage commensurate with their level of proficiency and prior instruction. For acceptance
into major vocal or instrumental applied courses, students must have had prior instruction and demonstrate
requisite proficiency via an audition before the music faculty. A second juried audition prior to acceptance
into junior level applied courses is also required, and a final Senior Recital must be presented in order to
graduate. Additionally, for acceptance into and graduation from the discipline, each student must have and
maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.25 or better. All majors must earn a minimum grade of C
in each music course. Majors must perform satisfactorily on the Regents Test and must take the Depart-
mental Exit Exam.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech and Theatre offers two concentrations for which students may
receive degree specialization: Speech Concentration and Theatre Concentration. Students with specific objec-
tives (law, radio and television, announcing or politics) may consult with faculty for advice on a program
of study which would best serve their career ambitions. The program is designed to provide maximum flex-
ibility in meeting the varied interests and career objectives of its students. Each of the concentrations has
specific requirements, i.e. dramatic performances, qualifying exams, oral presentations, etc.; however, stu-
dents in both concentrations are required to have a grade point average of 2.25 or better to enter and exit
the Bachelor of Arts program in Speech and Theatre. A grade of C or better is required in all major cours-
es. Majors must also perform satisfactorily on the Regents Test and complete the Departmental Exit Exam-
ination.
The Department offers the M.Ed. degree in Music Education. A minimum of 36 semester hours is required
in the following areas: ANature of the Learner (12); BMusical Studies (13); C-Professional Studies (12)
and DResearch Studies (3). The department is governed by the Admission Policies of the Graduate School
and the College of Education. The Graduate School Bulletin has detailed information.

Natural Sciences

Department Of
Natural Sciences
The Department of Natural Sciences offers degrees in biology and chemistry with course offerings in
physics and engineering. The department also offers a degree in science education with a broad based
emphasis in this area.
Biology
The major in biology provides courses and course sequences leading to the Bachelor of Science degree
in Biology. The program prepares a student for professional careers and employment in the biological sci-
ences and teaching in the area of biology. The flexibility and design of the program aid in the preparation
for entrance into graduate, medical, pharmacy and dental schools, as well as other professional schools.
Students interested in attending medical and dental schools choose from a select number of biology and
chemistry courses and are advised by the Pre-Health Advisor.
The student majoring in biology must complete a minimum of 32 hours in biology, including Biology
2111K, 2112K, 2211K, 2311K, 2801, 3101K, 3501K, 4001, 4002 and 4701K. Additionally, the major must com-
plete 12 hours of biology electives. The electives will be chosen by the student with the advisor from a list
of approved electives. Biology majors and minors must make a C or better in all biology, chemistry,
physics, and mathematics courses. Students must meet the requirements of the Core Curriculum and pass
the Regents Exam. Students must also pass a major field examination (Area Concentration Achievement
Test) during the senior year.
The major in Science Education (Broad Field Biology Emphasis) must complete a minimum of 53 hours
in Science, including BIOL 1801, 2111K, 2311K, 3250K, 3311K, 3501K, and 4805. Additionally, the major must
complete a biology elective (minimum 3 hours, 3000 level or above). Students must also meet the require-
ments of the Core Curriculum and pass the Regents and Praxis I Exams. Students are required to pass major
field examinations (Praxis II) during the senior year. A grade of C or better is required in all science and
mathematics courses and a science education major must maintain 2.5 GPA in order to graduate. (See
teacher education advisor requirements)
Chemistry
The major in chemistry provides courses and sequences leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in
chemistry. The major program is designed to follow the criteria for baccalaureate degrees as set forth by the
Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society. The program prepares the student
for professional employment after graduation and also provides a strong academic and laboratory experi-
ence for those students who wish to pursue graduate degrees in Chemistry or professional schools.
Students must meet the requirements listed in the Core Curriculum and pass the Regents examination.
The major in chemistry must complete a minimum of 49 semester hours of chemistry. All students are
required to earn at least a grade of C in all chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics courses. All stu-
dents are required to take the American Chemical Society standardized test in the area in which they are
enrolled. Students must take a Major Field Achievement Test (MFAT) during the senior year.
Engineering
Albany State University offers two types of pre-engineering programs that lead to a Bachelor of Engi-
neering degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology: (1) The Regents Engineering Transfer Program
(RETP) and (2) The Dual Degree Program.
The Regents Engineering Transfer Program (RETP) is a cooperative program between the Georgia Insti-
tute of Technology and Albany State University that allows qualified students to attend Albany State Uni-
versity for the first two years and then transfer to Georgia Tech to complete the requirements for a Bache-
lor of Engineering degree. To be admitted to this program, high school students must meet the following
requirements: (1) high school grade point average of B or better (2) at least 550 on the mathematics por-
tion of the SAT, and (3) at least 450 on the verbal portion of the SAT.
The Dual-Degree Program is also a cooperative program with the Georgia Institute of Technology and is
designed for students who wish to have a broad liberal arts background in addition to their chosen field of
engineering at Georgia Tech. After the completion of requirements in the two programs, the student will be
awarded a B.S. Degree from Albany State University and a B.S. Degree in Engineering from Georgia Tech.
To be admitted to Georgia Tech under this program, students should have an acceptable GPA at Albany State
University. Students in the Dual Degree Program may include some engineering courses as electives that will
be beneficial to their progress at Georgia Tech. Students may also matriculate at other engineering institu-
tions after completing RETP and dual degree requirements at Albany State University.
Students are assigned an advisor at Albany State University who will assist them in planning their
academic program of study.

Department of Psychology,
Sociology and Social Work
The Department of Psychology, Sociology and Social Work offers degrees in psychology, sociology and
social work.
PSYCHOLOGY
The major in psychology provides courses that lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. The
student who majors in psychology gains a fundamental understanding of the principles of human thought,
emotion and behavior programs. 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
behavior as well as the behavior of others. Because psychology is relevant to numerous fields, job oppor-
tunities 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 law enforcement),, etc. Students who plan to become professional psychologists or mental health prac-
titioners will be prepared to continue their education in order to obtain a graduate degree in one of the more
than 50 areas of specialization within psychology. The Psychology program is a member of the Council of
undergraduate programs in psychology. Departments with undergraduate programs in psychology, in insti-
tutions accredited for such purposes by their regional accrediting association, are eligible for membership
on the council.
The major in Psychology requires:
1. Completion of a minimum of -120 semester hours with a cumulative grade-point average of
at least 2.0.
2. Completion of all major courses with grades of C or above.
3. Completion of all required examinations: Psychology test of the Graduate Records Examination
(GRE), or the Major Area Examination and a departmental exit examination.
SOCIOLOGY
The major in sociology provides courses that lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. The soci-
ology program offers a variety of courses designed to enhance the knowledge of sociocultural environ-
ments, human social behavior 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 behavior sciences, gerontology and religion. The degree provides some employment options at the
bachelors level and, by carefully selecting sociology and allied electives, the students can enhance their
employment possibilities. Sociology majors can also pursue a dual degree with either psychology or social
work as the second major.
The major in Sociology requires:
1. Completion of 121 semester hours with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.0.
2. Completion of all major courses with grades of C or above.
3. Completion of all required examinations: Sociology Test of the Graduate Records Examination (GRE),
or the Major Area Examination, and a departmental examination.
SOCIAL WORK
The major in social work provides courses that lead to the Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) degree. The
Social Work Program was awarded candidacy status by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) in
February, 1997. The primary purpose of the B.S.W. degree program is to educate the major entry level gen-
eralist practice in social work and social welfare, seeking to maximize human development and dignity,
social justice and quality for diverse populations. The curriculum is comprised of a liberal arts base com-
bined with professional foundation courses, skills and ethics. Preparation for a career in generalist social
work practice is augmented by a supervised field practicum.
1998-2001 Undergraduate Catalog
The major in Social Work requires:
1. Completion of a minimum of 120 semester hours with a cumulative grade-point average
of at least 2.0.
2. Completion of all major courses with grades of C or above.
3. Completion of the ACAT examination.
A dual major program is also available for students interested in combining any two areas of study: Psy-
chology and Sociology, Psychology and Social Work, Sociology and Social Work. Completion of a dual
major requires one additional semester beyond the first degree.
The department also offers minors in psychology and sociology. A minor program requires twenty
semester hours in upper level prescribed courses along with elective courses.
The department offers certificates in psychology, sociology and social work to enhance employment
opportunities and/or preparation for graduate school. Each of the certificates requires twenty semester hours
of upper level courses including a field practicum.

Accreditation
Teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Edu-
cation. Albany State University is fully accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097; Telephone number 404-
679-4501) to award Bachelor's, Masters and Education Specialist degrees.
Certification
All teacher education programs are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Upon
completing an approved program and with the recommendation of the College of Education, graduates
receive State of Georgia Level-4 certification as teachers, the basic credential for teaching in the public
schools in Georgia. Please note that the approved programs are designed for Georgia certification, and that
certification requirements of the State of Georgia do change, producing changes in the requirements of the
approved programs. All teacher education students who plan to teach in the State of Georgia should file
applications for teacher certification during the first semester of student teaching.
Teacher Education Governance and Curricula
The College of Education is the Universitys teacher education unit. All teacher education programs of
all departments of Albany State University are governed by the policies listed in this section. The Dean of
the College of Education is the Universitys Teacher Education Officer who coordinates all teacher education
affairs with the aid of the Teacher Education Committee.

pleted and presented to the academic advisor for processing and approval. Students are encouraged to apply
for admission when enrolled in EDUC 2201 (Foundations of Education) or during the sophomore year. Trans-
fer students who have completed an introduction to education course at a previous institution should apply
for admission during their first semester of enrollment
Admission Requirements
The following criteria must be met to gain unconditional admission to teacher education.
1. Completion of a minimum of 36 semester hours from areas A, B, C, D and E of the Core and a
cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or above.

5. Demonstration of computer proficiency by completing EDUC 2210 or related course.
6. Satisfaction of unique requirements of the specific program applied to and approval by the
corresponding program coordinator. This may include specific achievement tests or physical
performance requirements. Admission to teacher education is a prerequisite to enrollment in
professional teacher education courses at the 3000 or 4000 level. The course EDUC 2210,
Technology/Media for Teachers, is a prerequisite for most 3000 and 4000 level courses. Stu-
dents who do not meet the requirements for admission will not be approved for enrollment in
such courses. Students who demonstrate that extenuating conditions are causative of deficient
performances may appeal to the Retention Committee. Appeal forms are available in the
office of the College of Education.
Provisional Admission
Students who do not fully meet the admission requirements may be granted provisional admission for
one semester only upon the approval of the dean. Such students may be given conditional permission to
take 3000 level courses; however, provisional status must be removed and full admission acquired within
the next semester of enrollment.
Senior Year Clinical Experiences
The following senior year experiences are required of all baccalaureate teacher education students.
Beginning of School Experience
All students are required to spend one week in a public school to observe the opening, organization and
beginning of the school year.
Students should apply for and then complete this non-paid volunteer experience as a staff member in a
public school in the month of August that immediately precedes the student teaching experience. Arrange-
ments for the beginning of school experience are made with the public school by the Director of Student
Teaching/Clinical Experiences. Service for one year as a teachers aide or in some other full-time instruc-
tional capacity may be considered as a substitute for the September Experience.
Student Teaching
Student teaching is the culminating experience of the entry level baccalaureate programs and is pro-
vided in selected public schools. Students are not allowed to take additional classes while doing their stu-
dent teaching. Students must apply for admission to student teaching by attending the Pre-Student Teach-
ing Seminar in the preceding semester.

University System of Georgia
The University System
of Georgia - Profile
The University System of Georgia includes
all state-operated institutions of higher educa-
tion in Georgiafour research universities, two
regional universities, 13 state universities and
colleges, and 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 execu-
tive officer of the Board and the chief adminis-
trative officer of the University System.
The overall programs and services of the
University System are offered through three
major components: Instruction; Public Ser-
vice/Continuing Education; Research.
Instruction consists of programs of study
leading toward degrees, ranging from the asso-
ciate (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 establish-
es 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 institu-
tions.
Public Service/Continuing Education con-
sists of non-degree activities, primarily, and spe-
cial types of college-degree-credit courses.
The non-degree activities are of several
types, including short courses, seminars, confer-
ences, 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 ser-
vice/continuing education courses are those
offered through extension center programs and
teacher education consortiums.
Research encompasses investigations con-
ducted 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 mat-
ters 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 conduct-
ed 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 elec-
tion is recommended by the Chancellor and
approved by the Board.
State appropriations for the University Sys-
tem are requested by, made to, and allocated by
the Board of Regents.
