Mission Statement
Albany State University, an historically black institution in Southwest Georgia, has been a catalyst for
change in the region from its inception as the Albany Bible and Manual Training Institute to its designation
as a university. Founded in 1903 to educate African American youths, the University proudly continues to
fulfill its historic mission while also serving the educational needs of an increasingly diverse student popu-
lation. A progressive institution, Albany State University seeks to foster the growth and development of the
region, state and nation through teaching, research, creative expression and public service. Through its col-
laborative efforts, the University responds to the needs of all its constituents and offers educational pro-
grams and service to improve the quality of life in Southwest Georgia.
The primary mission of Albany State University is to educate students to become outstanding contribu-
tors to society. Offering Bachelors, Masters and Education Specialist degrees and a variety of non-degree
educational programs, the University emphasizes the liberal arts as the foundation for all learning by expos-
ing students to the humanities, fine arts, social sciences and the sciences. Global learning is fostered through
a broad-based curriculum, diverse University activities and the expanding use of technology.
A leader in teacher education, nursing, criminal justice, business, public administration and the sciences,
Albany State provides a comprehensive educational experience with quality instruction as the hallmark of
all its academic programs. The University embraces the concept of students first as a core institutional
value and is committed to education on a personal level. The University advocates the total development
of students, especially the under served, and provides a wholesome academic environment in which students
can study, learn and develop through their interaction with fellow students, faculty, staff, administrators,
visiting scholars and community leaders.
Consistent with the core mission of the University System of Georgia, Albany State University
exhibits the following characteristics:
A supportive campus climate, necessary services, and leadership and development opportuni-
ties, all to educate the whole person and meet the needs of students, faculty and staff;
Cultural, ethnic, racial, and gender diversity in the faculty, staff and student body,
supported by practices and programs that embody the ideals of an open, democratic and
global society;
Technology to advance educational purposes, including instructional technology, student
support services and distance education;
Collaborative relationships with other system Institutions, state agencies, local schools and
technical institutes, and business and industry, sharing physical, human, information, and
other resources to expand and enhance programs and services to the citizens of Georgia.
With other state universities in the University System of Georgia, Albany State University
shares:
A commitment to excellence and responsiveness within a scope of influence defined by the
needs of an area of the state, and by particularly outstanding programs or distinctive charac-
teristics that have a magnet effect throughout the region or state;
A commitment to a teaching/leaming environment, both inside and outside the classroom,
that sustains instructional excellence, serves a diverse and college-prepared student body,
promotes high levels of student achievement, offers academic assistance, and provides devel-
opmental studies programs for a limited student cohort;
A high quality general education program supporting a variety of disciplinary, interdiscipli-
nary, and professional academic programming at the baccalaureate level, with selected Mas-
ters and Education Specialist degrees, and selected Associate degree programs based on area
need and/or inter-institutional collaborations;
A commitment to public service, continuing education, technical assistance, and economic
development activities that address the needs, improve the quality of life, and raise the edu-
cational level within the Universitys scope of influence;
A commitment to scholarly and creative work to enhance instructional effectiveness and to
encourage faculty scholarly pursuits, and a commitment to applied research in selected areas
of institutional strength and area need.
While Albany State University shares much in common with other state universities, it is ded-
icated to preparing leaders for under served populations and is committed to the following dis-
tinctive purposes:
Providing quality educational experiences for under served populations in the region, state
and nation;

STATE

Promoting and preserving the historical and culturally distinctive traditions which define
African American culture;
Offering of a comprehensive array of programs in health care services, community develop-
ment, human disabilities, cultural enhancement, business and economic development, inter-
national trade and entrepreneurship;
Graduating marketable students not only through technologically advanced academic pro-
grams but also through undergraduate research, studies abroad, internships, service learning
and developmental pre-professional experiences;
Improving the quality of life of African-American males via the educational, research, inter-
vention and service programs coordinated through the Center for the African-American
Male.
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., LL.D., Ed.D. (1943-1954)
William H. Dennis, LL.D. (1954-1965)

Students graduating from high school in the spring of 1988 or later must meet the requirements of the
College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) as indicated in the above admission phase-in criteria chart. Students
lacking required courses in any of the five areas must make up the deficiencies according to established
guidelines. College courses taken to satisfy deficiencies will not apply toward core or degree requirements,
but will be calculated in the cumulative grade point average. The following high school courses are mini-
mum requirements for admission as a freshman. In June 1995, the Board of Regents adopted the Admissions
Policy Direction to ensure that students who enter the University System of Georgia are prepared to succeed.
Albany State University, in support of raising the bar, has implemented new phase-in admission cri-
teria. Consequently, by the fall semester of 2001, all students enrolling at Albany State University will meet
higher standards.

gram in which applicants desire enrollment, provided that grades earned are C or better. Applicants who
have completed the core requirements in a transfer program in another unit of the University System will

pendent study, extension and/or credit by examination earned at other accredited Institutions can be accept-
ed toward graduation.
Albany State University will accept as transferred credit D grades earned in core curriculum courses;
no freshman English courses with grades less than C will be accepted as transfer credit.
All transfer applicants accepted for admission will be mailed a copy of their evaluation sheet, which
includes the work accepted from the college previously attended. This evaluation must be presented upon
registration to the students advisors. Unofficial transcripts cannot be evaluated.
Applicants who have not completed at least 30 semester hours of accepted transfer credits should com-

Financial Aid Information
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 principal 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.
Financial Aid Application Procedures
Students desiring financial aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Form (FAFSA) as
soon as possible after January 1. Instructions for completing the form and appropriate addresses are all contained
within the FAFSA packet. List Albany State University to receive your FAFSA information. Our code is 001544.
The Financial Aid Office will begin processing completed applications for the academic year as soon as feder-
al regulations are received and the Board of Regents determines tuition rates for the academic year. A student must
be accepted for enrollment (new students and readmits} before he/she can be awarded.
Processing aid applications can take six weeks or longer during peak processing periods. Although the prior-
ity deadline is April 15, applications that are not completed by the following deadlines may not be processed by
the beginning of that semester. Fall semester, June 15; spring semester, November 15; summer semester, April 15.
If you have not completed the application process (this includes providing additional documents as requested by
the Financial Aid Office) by the dates given above, you should be prepared to pay all educational costs assessed
on your fee statement.
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 (Qualitative and Quantitative).
Qualitative Measurement
All students are expected to maintain the same academic standards as outlined in the official catalog of
Albany State University. Students receiving financial aid must meet the minimum academic standards. Students
whose academic standings fall below the minimum prescribed standards will be governed by the following for
receiving financial aid
1. Financial Aid Probation status will exist if the students cumulative GPA falls below 2.0.
2. If the students semester GPA is not 2.0 or greater at the end of the next semester of enrollment, his/her
financial aid will be suspended.
3. The Financial Aid Probation status will be removed if the students cumulative GPA increases to 2.0 or
above at the end of the next semester of enrollment.
Students that are academically eligible (grade point average) to remain at the institution and meet all of the
requirements under the Quantitative Measurement indicated below are eligible to receive financial aid. Financial
Aid recipients that are placed on academic suspension or financial aid suspension at the end of their last semes-
ter of enrollment are not eligible for financial aid and must pay to enroll if they are permitted to return to the
institution.
Quantitative Measurement
In addition to maintaining the required academic standards (grade point average), students must com-
plete a minimum percentage of credit hours attempted each academic year and the requirements for their degree
within a maximum number of hours.
Students must successfully complete 67% of the courses for which they register each academic year (fall
and spring). The grades of A, B, C, D and S count as successful completion of coursework. Students completion
rates will be reviewed at the end of the spring semester unless enrolling for the summer semester. At the end of
the spring semester, those students who have not successfully completed 67% of their courses during the last two
terms of enrollment will have their financial aid terminated effective the next fall 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 eligible for financial aid.
The maximum number of hours (time frame) allowed is 150% or the number of semester hours required
to earn a degree. For example at Albany State University, the average degree requires 120 to 127 hours for com-
pletion; therefore students may not receive financial aid after they have attempted 190 semester hours. The first

2001 -2004 Undergraduate Catalog

ALBANY
STATE
30 semester hours of Learning Support and Regents courses combined are not counted in the maximum
number of hours. Transfer credits are counted in the maximum number of hours. The purpose of student
financial aid is to assist students in earning a degree. Students who have earned enough hours to complete
degree requirements are no longer eligible to receive financial aid.
Students who change majors or degree programs may reach their eligibility limits for receiving
financial aid before obtaining a degree. Students who elect to change majors or degree programs should do
so early to avoid jeopardizing eligibility for financial aid.
Students may apply for reinstatement of financial aid after they have completed 6 or more semes-
ter hours at their own expense with a minimum grade-point average of 2.00 at Albany State University. A
graduated 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; 3 hours 3.0 GPA). Grades will be reviewed every semester until the overall
grade point average reaches the required academic standard. Reinstatement will be on a semester-by-semes-
ter 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. Stu-
dents must complete Financial Aid Appeals petitions along with supporting documents to indicate the spe-
cific reason(s) for failure to make satisfactory progress. Only one appeal may be considered for students that
fail to achieve 67% of hours attempted. Additionally, only one appeal may be considered for students who
do not earn a degree within the maximum time frame. The committee will review the statement and sup-
porting documents, as well as past performance and past academic record. Students will be notified in writ-
ing of the committees decision.
Mandatory Academic Remediation Coursework
(teaming Support and Regents Courses)
Students enrolled in Learning Support and/or Regents courses are eligible to receive financial aid for a
maximum of 30 hours of academic credit. If these courses must be taken beyond 30 hours of academic cred-
it, students must enroll at their own expense.

Scholarships
The Presidential Scholarship

LThe Division for Student Affairs exists to create a culture of vibrant student learning through involve-
ment. Our team of student development educators facilitates the growth and development of this culture by
1. Engaging students in experiential learning which links individuals, knowledge, and action.
2. Aggressively marketing involvement opportunities and benefits.
I____ 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.
I____ Housing/Residence Life
There are four residence halls for women and two 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 outlet and a
telephone line. Regular cable viewing is available. Each room has only one complete local telephone net-
work. 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 assistants also work
with the residence directors.
A student will be eligible to receive a housing application after being officially admitted to the Univer-
sity 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 housing deposit
consists 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.
A meal plan is required of all students residing in the residence halls. The cafeteria is closed during offi-
cial 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. Students are invited for out-patient treatment and no restrictions are made
on the number of visits. All care provided is confidential.
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.

Regents Center far Learning Disorders at Georgia
Southern
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 desig-
nated colleges and universities within a geographic region, and follows criteria established by the Board
of Regents identifying students with suspected specific learning disabilities or Attention Deficit/Hyperac-
tivity Disorder (ADHD). The professional staff of the Regents Center will review documentation for spe-
cific learning disabilities, ADLID, or Acquired Brian Impairment supplied by a student or will provide a
new evaluation.
Any student interested in having an evaluation must contact the Counseling Services and Programs
at Albany State University (Disabilities Services Provider) for information concerning the availability of
this service. The Disabilities Services Provider will also make available the criteria for identifying specif-
ic learning disabilities, ADJID and/or for accepting outside evaluations (assessment completed by an agent
other than one of the three centers).
Provieions for Learning Dieebilitiee and
Physically Handicapped Students
Albany State Universitys policy regarding students with learning and physical disabilities complies
with the University System of Georgia Board of Regents policies and all related Federal legislation. Stu-
dents who have documented disabilities, who have met all of the admissions criteria and are otherwise
qualified, should voluntarily register with the Counseling Center. Albany State University provides accom-
modations which enable disabled students to pursue their educational goals.
Learning Disabilities
In order to receive appropriate University accommodations for disabilities which affect learning, stu-
dents must submit documentation.
a. Students with Learning Disabilities (LD) must submit documentation which meets the Board of
Regents criteria.
b. Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) must submit documentation which
meets the criteria for ADHD as established in The American Psychiatric Associations Diagnostic and Sta-
tistical Manual, fourth revision (DMS-IV) and as defined by the parameters set by the Georgia Board of
Regents.
c. Students with Acquired Brian Impairment (ART) are eligible for the same accommodations as stu-
dents with developmental learning disabilities. They should submit documentation that verifies the dis-
ability, clarifies the areas of learning that might be affected, and states the accommodations which would
be appropriate for the student.
2001 -2004 Undergraduate Catalog
Student Affaire/Services
d. Student with visual, hearing, motor, or other impairments which affect learning should supply
documentation that verifies the disability, clarifies the areas of learning that might be affected, and states
the accommodations which would be appropriate for the student.
Documentation should be submitted to the Assistant Director of COUNSELING SERVICES AND PRO-
GRAMS. The documentation will be reviewed by the appropriate Professional Counselor and the Institu-
tions committee on learning disorders. If documentation is complete, the student will be eligible for
accommodations upon entering the University. If documentation is incomplete, the student is responsible
for providing the missing components.
Students should contact the Professional Counseling staff during the application process or as soon
as possible. This allows students to have appropriate accommodations during placement testing so they
can be placed in classes which are appropriate. Professors are more willing to work with students who
notified them of possible problems at the first of the semester rather than after the first sign of trouble.
isabled/Handicapped Student Services
Albany State University complies with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and The Ameri-
cans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Title II). Students with special needs, accommodations and/or ques-
tions relating to either of 504/ADA should contact the Coordinator of the Disabled Student Services Pro-
gram in the Counseling and Disabled Student Support Services (DSSP).
Religious Life
Albany State University recognizes the need for spiritual guidance in the lives of its students and
endeavors to give such guidance through nondenominational religious activities. One of the highlights of
annual campus activities is the observance of Religious Emphasis Week. At this time ministers and spiritu-
al consultants from various churches and organizations are invited to participate.
Student Identification Card
ID Cards are obtained from the Office of Fiscal Affairs at the beginning of each semester. Photograph-
ing students is a part of the registration procedure. The ID Card, which is not transferable, should be carried
at all times, and if lost, costs $25.00 to replace.
Parking
Students receive parking guides and fee information at registration.
Student Activities Office
Albany State University provides opportunities for its students to enhance their intellectual and cultur-
al development and for association with outstanding personalities. These activities are coordinated by the
Office of Student Activities. The philosophy of the Office of Student Activities is to entertain students by
exposing them to top quality artists, performers, and lecturers. Therefore, social events are planned through-
out the year and informal events are given on campus most weekends.
The Office of Student Activities sponsors annual events that expose students to the social graces and
cultural affairs to help them become more well-rounded individuals. Fashion shows, plays, lectures and
appearances of nationally known speakers are a few examples of the kinds of activities which take place
during Co-Etiquette Week. At the culminating Co-Etiquette Ball, our students display their etiquette in a
semi-formal environment. Throughout the year, renowned speakefs are brought to campus for other occa-
sions such as Martin Luther King's Birthday, Honors Day and Founders Day.
Student Organizations
The Student Government provides for student participation in the governance of the University. Students
serve on University committees.
There is a Residence Hall Council in each residence hall. It provides for participation in the regulation
of matters concerning life in the residence halls and for the acquisition of invaluable experience in self-gov-
ernment.

intercollegiate and intramural. All students are encouraged to participate either as competitors or spectators.
The University desires each student to participate according to his/her ability, and participation is particu-
larly emphasized for students majoring in physical education. Their participation will have special impor-
tance in preparing them for future careers.

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-
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.
Career Services
The overall mission of the Office of Career Services is to create and maintain an educational environ-
ment which complements, enhances and supports the broader academic mission of Albany State Universi-
ty. It is of utmost importance to recognize and address the uniqueness and diversity of our students and
alumni and to address proactively their career development and job search needs. This will be accomplished
by providing professional advisement and the most up-to-date guidance resources available.
The staff seeks to assist students and alumni with choosing career interest, gaining related work expe-
rience, and providing guidance in their full-time professional job search through three distinct areas:
Self-Assessment: Career advisement and testing.
Experiential Learning Opportunities: Shadowing and mentoring experiences, internships and coopera-
tive education.
Professional Employment Services: On-campus recruitment, job fairs, jobs listings, internet resources,
resume referrals and job search readiness workshops.
Services also include graduate and professional school visitations, credential services for education
majors, a career resource library and computer-based programs.
The Right to Share in Policy Making
The Albany State University students have a collective right to an appropriate 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 frill 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.

Academic Information
The status of the University as a fully accredited member of the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools requires that caution be exercised in retaining any student who falls below the accepted academic
standards. Students are reviewed each year to determine their academic status. Students are notified of
extended probation and suspensions.
Degree Requirements
A candidate for the Baccalaureate degree from Albany State University must satisfy the following
requirements:
1. Complete a prescribed curriculum.
2. Complete a minimum of 120 semester hours with a grade point average of at least 2.00 (C-
average) or the departmental requirement.
3. Pass the Regents Test.
4. Complete a year in residence with a minimum of 30 semester hours.
5. Take an Exit Examination or major area examination.
Application for Degree
A Degree Application Card should be filed when students have thirty (30) hours or less to complete for
graduation. The application may be secured from the Registrar's office. On this application students must
indicate intended date of graduation. Students who fail to graduate as indicated should complete another
form.
Students who complete all requirements for a degree at the close of the summer, fall or spring semester
will be given a statement, upon request, certifying requirements have been completed. Credits may be cer-
tified to the State Department of Education in order that the certificates to teach may be issued at any time
during the school term. Degrees will be awarded pursuant to graduation.
Commencement
Commencement is a part of the academic process. Therefore, students are required to be present to
receive their degrees. Graduating in absentia, when students cannot attend, requires approval of an accept-
able excuse from the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Requests to graduate in absentia should be sent
to the Office for Academic Affairs.
2001 -2004 Undergraduate Catalog
Regents Test
An examination to assess the competency level in reading and writing of students enrolled in degree
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.
It is the responsibility of each institution of the University System of Georgia to assure the other insti-
tutions, and the System as a whole, that students 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.
Guidelines for Regents Testing Program
The policy for the Regents Testing Program includes the following guidelines:
The Regents Test will be administered during one testing period each semester.
Students must register for the test by application only.
Students must take the test in their first semester of enrollment after earning 30 credit hours if they
have not taken it previously. Students may be permitted to take the test before they have earned 30 semes-
ter credit horns if they are first-time examinees and have taken English 1101.
Students who have not passed both parts of the test by the time they have earned 45 credit hours must
take remediation each semester of enrollment until they have passed both parts.
Students transferring from outside of the System with 30 or more credit hours should take the test dur-
ing their first semester of enrollment at a System institution. Students transferring within the System with
45 or more semester credit hours and who have not taken or passed the test must take remediation each
semester of enrollment until they have passed both parts.
Students with fewer than 45 semester hours of college-level credit may take the test twice before they
are required to take remediation. However, students who postpone taking ENGL 1101 or who postpone tak-
ing the test will not necessarily have two opportunities to take the test before the remediation requirement
is imposed.
Students who are not enrolled and are not subject to remedial requirements may be permitted to take
the test during the summer administration only.
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.
2001 -2004 Undergraduate Catalog'
Students with learning disabilities will be accommodated on the Regents Test in accordance with approved
(University System of Georgia) procedures.
Matriculation Time For Degree
The normal time required to complete degree requirements is four academic years when the student carries a
full load, 15 to 16 semesters, and no remedial courses. The maximum time allotted for completing degree require-
ments 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. Permission to
carry 17 or 18 hours will require a 3.0 or above cumulative grade point average. Permission to carry more than
18 hours will require a 3.0 or above cumulative average and a 3.0 semester GPA during the last semester of resi-
dence. A graduating senior can carry an overload with a 2.5 cumulative GPA one semester (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 study 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 semester 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
chairperson. Each student should visit his/her advisor for conferences and program evaluation on a regular
basis.
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 final grades are sent to the students, available in Banner for

[Graduation/Degree Audit
1. The graduation/degree application process is initiated by the student
2. The completed application is to be submitted to the Registrars Office when a student has the follow-
ing hours remaining to satisfy graduation requirements: 50 hours-Bachelors, 20-Masters or 16 hours-Spe-
cialist.
3. In order for the degree audit application to be valid, the student must have taken and passed the
h Regents Test and have the required cumulative grade point average for their academic major.
4. Each student should update name and/or address with the Registrars Office.
5. The student will receive his degree audit check sheet in the mail. The department chairperson prepares
the degree audit check sheet. If the student has any questions, contact the department chairperson as soon
as possible. He should not wait until his expected semester of graduation to resolve any outstanding prob-
lems.
6. Students must have the required cumulative grade point average and must have passed the Regents
Test prior to the beginning of the semester in which he is scheduled to graduate.
7. Each student must attend the commencement exercise or request in writing permission to graduate in
absentia from the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
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. An Academic Probation status will be indicated when a students cumulative GPA falls
below 2.00.
2. The Academic Probation status will be removed if the students cumulative GPA becomes
2.0 or above at the end of the next semester.
3. If the students semester GPA is not 2.0 or greater at the end of the subsequent semester,
he/she may be suspended for one semester.
4. Learning Support Status. To preclude having two standards (one for Learning Support stu-
dents and another for new students), the same standards above will apply for all students.
Both new students and students exiting Learning Support courses will be tracked using the
standards described above beginning with their first semester entering the University or their
first semester exiting Learning Support.

Readmission. Upon being readmitted after suspension, students must pay for and carry a
minimum of 6 credits and achieve a minimum semester GPA greater than 2.0 to preclude
2001 -2004 Undergraduate Catalog
Academic Support Services
subsequent suspension for at least a year. For any new readmissions, this same standard will
apply.
Academic Probation/Suspension
A minimum of 12 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
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 including support documents to the
Admissions and Academic Evaluation Committee c/o the Vice President for Academic Affairs 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 notify the student of its decision. The appeal process must be initi-
ated 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 satisfactory academic progress is
achieved.
Reeidence 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

showing that he or she has been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least twelve
months immediately before the 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

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 may be charged to late registrants. A students enrollment sta-
tus is determined by the credit load he/she has paid for on the last day of registration. The student is respon-
sible for attending the class(es) for which he/she officially registers.
Auditing Courses for Noncredit
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.

Policy: Visitors in University Classrooms
Albany State University (herein after called the University) seeks to provide a wholesome learning envi-
ronment for all students that is professional and free from distraction. Accordingly, the University seeks to
provide a classroom environment that is wholesome and free from distraction for all students. Therefore, the
University allows persons who are enrolled, invited or authorized to its classrooms or other services. Time
spent attending to a personal visitor, especially a child, distracts from the learning environment.
University classrooms are not a substitute for day care centers, and personal liability issues regarding
children and other unauthorized visitors do not allow the University to permit unauthorized visitors or chil-
dren in classrooms.
This restriction on children and other persons does not apply to attendance at public University func-
.* jions, as family members are always welcome at public activities on campus, such as graduation or nurse
pinning ceremonies.
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
POLS 1101 American Government. Transfer credits from out-of-state institutions may not satisfy the require-
ments of the State of Georgia Act. An exemption test is offered to transfer students whose courses did not
include Georgia History and Georgia Constitution.
Information about the exemption test can be obtained by contacting the chairperson of the Department
of History, Political Science and Public Administration.
Second Degrees
Students who want to obtain a second degree may use credits from the first degree when the courses
from the first degree can be appropriately applied. A student should inform the Registrars Office if he is
pursuing a second degree.
Students seeking an additional degree should apply for admission and have official transcripts from each
institution sent to the Director of Admissions.

The Honors Program
The Honors Program at Albany State University is designed to provide superior students with oppor-
tunities to maximize their intellectual potential and to provide them with higher degrees of challenge and
competition. 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
of interest through independent projects and research; and to participate with others of similar abilities.
Admission
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% 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.
Retention
A candidates 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 Honors Program course requirements and who have an
overall grade point average 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 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 following semes-
ter. A student should seek to maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or above at all times.

Continuing Education, Com
Development
The Division of Public
and Continuing Education
The Division of Public Service and Continuing Education at Albany State University provides lifelong
learning and educational services to tbe citizens of Soutbwest Georgia who need nontraditional program-
ming and systems of delivery. The various programs of the Division of Public Service and Continuing Edu-
cation are classified as non-credit Category I Continuing Education Units, (CEUs) or Category 11 for confer-
ences, independent study, and pre-college programs through the Public Service Institute and file Holley Insti-
tute. Off campus credit courses are arranged in cooperation with the various academic colleges and schools
of the University.
The curricula provide sound educational programs, which give the participant general as well as spe-
cialized education. The non-credit category includes courses for career development, personal enrichment,
special conferences, workshops, lectures, institutes, and consultant services for a variety of professional and
community needs. Independent study may be arranged at the high school and University levels through dis-
tance learning such as GSAMS, satellite, and/or web based instruction. All programs are planned for citi-
zens who have varied backgrounds, different levels of maturity and limited time to further their education.
The Public Service Institute serves as the centralized outreach coordinating of the University. Public ser-
vice at Albany State University is based on two important principles. First, public service programs are deter-
mined by the needs of the people in the communities, and second, administers, faculty, staff and students
must live, work and play among the citizens they serve. As such, Albany State University designs its pub-
lic service programs to adapt to the changing needs of society through careful assessment and strategic plan-
ning. Service is rendered through ongoing consultation, technical assistance, direct service, short-term
instruction, training and other assistance that yield opportunities for continued learning, growth and devel-
opment.
SDli 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.
Non-Credit Courses
Non-credit courses are offered in the following areas:
The Arts Computers
Foreign Languages Health Issues
Teleconferences Womens Issues
Just Plain Fun!
English Language
Professional Development
Youth Courses
Cooperative Education
The Cooperative Education Program is designed to complement a student's formal education with a
series of paid, productive work experience in a field related to a students career or educational goals. The
cooperative segments can begin during the sophomore year and continue during the junior and senior years.
The 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 productive employment,
they will have the chance to observe skilled professionals at work in their fields of specialty-an opportuni-
ty 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/Coordinator of Cooperative
Education.
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 tire 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 $200 per month for the academic
school year, not to exceed 10 months for each of the two years. 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.
Optional activities include participating in Ranger Challenge, Drill Team, Color Guard, Pershing Rifles
Military Fraternity, planned weekly Field Training Exercises (FTXs), and a host of fund raising activities
throughout the school year.
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.
Students with at least two to four years of JROTC and desiring to pursue a commision may enter the
advanced course, must provide a cadet performance report from their instructor, be academically aligned
as a junior and approved by 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 $2,000
per year ($200 per month). All scholarships provide the same benefits unless otherwise noted. Any recipient
of a scholarship requires an active duty or reserve duty (Army Reserve, or Army National Guard) service

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

Center for Excellence in
Teaching and Learning/Learning
Support; Services
The mission of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) is to foster excellence in
scholarship and learning at the university. The CETL promotes successful teaching and learning through
the providing student comprehensive support systems to help students become more proficient learners
and providing opportunities for the faculty to build capacity to become effective instructors. The prima-
ry focus of the Center is to foster high levels of academic achievement of students from initial matricu-
lation to graduation.
Learning Support Services
The university provides learning support services to assist students in improving and enhancing skill
development in reading, English and mathematics. Learning support services are designed for students
whose test results indicate need-for additional training to remedy deficiencies in reading, English and math-
ematics.
Students who do not meet the Universitys established admission requirements, as reflected by Scholas-
tic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Testing (ACT) scores, are required to take the Collegiate Place-
ment Examination (CPE) to determine proficiency in reading, English and mathematics. Students will be
required to take Learning Support courses (non-credit) to remove the identified deficiencies in either of the
three subjects listed above, as indicated by the CPE results.
Students must take the required Learning Support courses during the first semester of enrollment at the
university and continue taking these courses each semester of enrollment until all requirements have been
met. Learning Support students may not accumulate more than 20 hours of academic credit before com-
pleting all Learning Support requirements, thus they will not be allowed to take further credit courses until
all Learning Support requirements are met.
Students enrolled in Learning Support courses and college credit courses may not drop or withdraw from
Learning Support courses and remain in college credit courses. The students academic advisor must advise
and approve the schedule of a student who is withdrawing or dropping a course(s).
Learning Support Courses
The following non-degree credit courses are offered in Learning Support:
ENGL 0098 Basic English ENGL 0099 Basic English
MATH 0097 Basic Math MATH 0099 Basic Math
READ 0098 Developmental Reading READ 0099 Development Reading
Learning Support Suspension
A student must satisfy academic deficiencies within a specified time frame established by the Board of
Regents. A student who has not completed requirements for exiting a Learning Support area (English, read-
ing, mathematics) after twelve semester hours or three semesters whichever occurs first, will be suspended.
That student may not be considered for readmission within three years of the suspension.
Prior to suspension, a student may appeal in writing to the Director of the Center for Excellence in
Teaching and Learning for one additional course. The student must be individually evaluated and determined
to have a reasonable chance of success, must be in an exit level course and must have reached the limit in
only one Learning Support area. If granted the additional course, the student may enroll in only the Learn-
ing Support course.
Other Services
In collaboration with other departments at the university, the CETL offers support tutorials for students
in various content areas. In addition to content area tutorials, workshops and training sessions will be pro-
vided to support the general population in various subjects needed.
The CETL supports faculty development needs in collaboration with the Educational Technology Train-
ing Center (ETTC) and in conjunction with various departmental programs at the University.
2001-2004 Undergraduate Catalog
The Weekend University
Realizing the need to offer a curriculum for a non-traditional student population, Albany State Uni-
versity has developed the Weekend University (WEU). WEU provides non-traditional students an oppor-
tunity to get a college degree by completing core curriculum requirements through a series of weekend
courses. '
The University defines its target audience as non-traditional students who have been out of high
school at least five years or whose high school class graduated at least five years ago. Other criteria defin-
ing the non-traditional student include those holding a high school diploma from an accredited or
approved high school as specified in the University System of Georgia Board of Regents Policy; Section
402.0101 or having satisfactorily completed the GED, having earned fewer than 30 transferable semester
credit hours and having not attended college within the past five years (or in good standing at the last
college attended if admitted to the college as a non-traditional student).
Albany State University recognizes that students needs today cannot be met with yesterdays respons-
es. We can not ignore the disparities that exist between age groups, particularly those 25 and older. Just
adding a weekend program without adequate support services will continue to adversely impact institu-
tions that do not consider the specific needs of students who enroll in these programs.
Albany State University provides the same high quality services extended to day students. This does
not mean that each area has to be fully staffed, but if the need arises, the services will be available. WEU
students pay the same tuition and fees paid by day students and they deserve the same services.

The College of Arts
and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences includes the Departments of Criminal Justice, English and Modem Lan-
guages, 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 College of Arts and Sciences also offers training in
the areas of pre-law, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry and pre-pharmacy.
Pre-Medicine
Admission to medical school usually requires a minimum of three years of undergraduate study or,
preferably, a Bachelors degree. A Bachelors degree with a major in Biology or Chemistry and minor in one
of the sciences offers excellent preparation for admission to medical school. (Students interested in medi-
cine are advised by the pre-med advisor.)
Pre-Medical Technology
This is a two-year sequence offered by the Department of Chemistry with emphasis on the Core Cur-
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.

2001 -2004 Undergraduate Catalog
Department of
Criminal Justice
The Department of Criminal Justice offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Criminal Justice and Forensic
Science 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 cur-
riculum 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 operations. 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 the core curriculum.
The Criminal Justice Department also has established 2+2 programs that permit students at selected area
two-year colleges to transfer to the baccalaureate program in Criminal Justice at Albany State University
without loss of credit.

2001 -2004 Undergraduate Catalog
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.
Bachelor of Arts Degree
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 disciplines. It is further reinforced by arranged interaction with professional artists through
residencies, seminars, and student apprenticeships/intemships, and by liberal subjects promoting identifica-
tion 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 major status can be granted. Additionally, for acceptance into and graduation from the dis-
cipline, each student must have, and thereafter maintain, a cumulative grade point average of 2.25 or bet-
ter. 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 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 examinations, oral presentations, etc.; howev-
er, students 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
courses. Majors must also perform satisfactorily on the Regents Test and complete the Departmental Exit
Examination.
Bachelor of Music Education
The music education program will offer study leading to the Bachelor of Music Education degree with
applied concentrations in one of the following categories: voice, piano, woodwind, brass and percussion
instruments. Degree requirements will be completed primarily in the music area of the Department of Fine
Arts, however, the teaching certification will be earned through the College of Education. Curriculum com-
ponents of the program of study are (1) Area A-E - University Core Courses, (2) Area F - Courses Related to
the Major, (3) Area G - Major Requirements; and (4) Area H - Professional Education Courses.
In order to be admitted to the Music Education Program, students must first meet all college admittance
requirements. Additionally, students must audition on a major instrument or voice for acceptance into the
program, and must meet the requirements of the College of Education for admission to the Teacher Educa-
tion Program. The non-course requirements include:
1. A 2.5 GPA
2. Passing Regents Test
3. Passing the PRAXIS 1 Exam (for full admittance into the Teacher Education Program and to
be able to student teach)
2001-2004 Undergraduate Catalog
4. Passing of PRAXIS II (required for graduation)

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 programs 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 Field Area Test 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, students can enhance their employ-
ment 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 Field Area Test 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 for accreditation by the Council on Social Work Edu-
cation (CSWE) in February, 1997. The primary purpose of the B.S.W. degree program is to educate the major
entry level generalist practice in social work and social welfare, seeking to maximize human development
and dignity, social justice and equality for diverse populations. The curriculum is comprised of a liberal arts
base combined with professional foundation courses, skills and ethics. Preparation for a career in general-
ist social work practice is augmented by a supervised field practicum.
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 eighteen (18)
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.

College of Business
The College of Business includes two departments, Business Administration and Business Information
Systems and Education.
The fundamental purpose of the College of Business is to create a learning community in which all who
want a quality business education can gain the measurable skills and competencies demanded by global
employers or required for self-employment or admission to graduate school. The college serves the educa-
tional needs of an increasingly diverse student population, with particular focus on the needs of the under-
served: African Americans, Hispanics, students from other countries, other men and women of color and the
physically challenged. The college offers undergraduate degrees in accounting, information systems, man-
agement, and marketing. A graduate degree in Business Administration (MBA) is also offered.
The undergraduate and graduate curriculum developed by the College of Business meets the highest
standards in preparing graduates for positions of responsibility in a diverse society. The instructional
approach of the business faculty is to temper the teaching function with professionalism, integrity and intel-
lectual honesty.
The following baccalaureate and masters degree programs of the College of Business at Albany State
University are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Col-
legiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP):
1. Bachelor of Science in Accounting
2. Bachelor of Science in Information Systems
3. Bachelor of Science in Management
4. Bachelor of Science in Marketing
5. Master of Business Administration
The College of Business is housed in Peace Hall, a modem two-story building with spacious and attrac-
tive classrooms, a large lecture room, computer labs, student lounge, faculty lounge, conference room,
administrative and faculty offices. The overall setting is highly conducive to learning, leadership and char-
acter molding activities.
Internship Program (Work-Based Paradigm]
The College of Business actively supports the Work-Based Paradigm (WBP) of the University by involv-
ing students in the WBP major components: shadowing, mentoring, interning and cooperative education.
Internships normally consist of students working full or part time for a semester at a cooperating firm.
Internships may be for pay, volunteer and/or for course credit. Business students are expected to complete
internship experiences in their major area of study before graduation. Cooperative Education assignments
are normally at out-of-state locations, although a limited number of COOP assignments are available in the
Albany area. Students may earn University credit for cooperative education courses while on assignments.
Weekend College
Degrees in accounting, information systems, marketing and management can be earned in evening
classes. Weekend classes are scheduled when enrollment demands are sufficient.
Two-PIus-Two Program
The College of Business has several 2+2 programs which allow students with associate degrees to trans-
fer easily from Darton College (or other two-year colleges) to Albany State University. These include
accounting, information systems, marketing and management. Normally, students complete 60 semester
hours at Darton College (or other area two-year colleges) and 60 semester hours at Albany State Universi-
ty.

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

approved programs. All teacher education students who plan to teach in the State of Georgia should file
applications for teacher certification dining 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.

An application for Admission to Teacher Education may be obtained from departmental offices, com-
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-

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.

education courses. Rationale: Applicable to lower level education students who have not been admitted to
Teacher Education.

nated advisor. The existing Praxis I requirements for student teaching will remain unchanged, and the Prax-
is II requirements for graduation are required.
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 nursing program until the same course is satisfactorily completed. A second failure of a nursing course
will constitute grounds for dismissal from the nursing program. (An appeal for readmission may be initi-
ated after one year.)
Each student is responsible for an approved uniform, selected equipment, health and liability insurance,
transportation, yearly physical examinations, immunizations, chest X-rays and selected laboratory tests.

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.
