Information

Agnes Scott College

Agnes Scott College

Agnes Scott, an independent undergraduate college for women, offers courses'
leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. The College is located in Decatur,
Georgia, a part of metropolitan Atlanta. Proximity to Atlanta makes available
to students and faculty the economic, cultural, social, intellectual, and recrea-
tional advantages of a large and progressive metropolitan center.

Students, faculty, and admmistrative staff are selected without regard to race, ,
color, creed, and national or ethnic origin. This nondiscriminatory policy alsoj
applies (1) to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally
accorded or made available to students at the College; and (2) to the ad-
ministration of educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, student
employment, and other college-administered programs.

History

Founded in 1889 as Decatur Female Seminary, the College first offered [
work of grammar school level. In 1890 it was renamed Agnes Scott Institute '
in honor of the mother of the founder, Colonel George W. Scott, and within
ten years was accredited as a secondary school. In 1906, the Institute was I
chartered as Agnes Scott College, and Agnes Scott Academy (discontinued in i
1913) was organized to offer preparatory work. The first degrees of the College
were conferred in June of 1906.

In 1907 Agnes Scott became the first college in Georgia to hold membership
in the regional accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and |
Schools, and in 1920 it was placed on the approved list of the Association of I
American Universities. In 1926 it became the second institution in Georgia to ,
be granted a charter by the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. The College |
is also a charter member of the American Association of University Women |
and of the Southern University Conference. j

The permanent assets amount to more than $58,000,000 of which more '
than $41,000,000 (book value) is in endowment.

The four presidents of the College have been Frank Henry Gaines (1889-
1923); James Ross McCain (1923-1951); Wallace McPherson Alston (1951-
1973); and Marvin Banks Perry, Jr., (1973- ).

Purpose

Agnes Scott was founded by Presbyterians for the purpose of "establishing, i
perpetuating, and conducting a liberal arts college for the higher education of
young women under auspices distinctly favorable to the maintenance of the
faith and practice of the Christian religion." The College still has an affiliate
relationship with the Presbyterian Church in the United States, but it has never
been controlled or supported by the Church. Agnes Scott is governed by a
self-perpetuating Board of Trustees.

The College Community

In a rapidly changing world of increasing mechanization and complexity,
the College continues to put its faith in the life of the mind and the spirit
and in the liberating power of knowledge.

As a liberal arts college for undergraduate women, the purpose of the College
is as follows:

(1.) to help the student gain a basic acquaintance with each of
three broad areas of knowledge the humanities, natural sciences
and mathematics, and social sciences and competence in some
particular phase of one area;

(2.) to develop through such study those qualities of mind
analytical, critical, and imaginative which will enable the student
to use the treasure of the past as well as contemporary contribu-
tions to knowledge, not only to enrich her own life but also to seek
solutions to age-old and new problems;

(3.) to develop an appreciation for excellence and for man's
creative achievements in all fields;

(4.) to encourage the student to find for herself a spiritual com-
mitment and a set of values which will give vitality, meaning, and
direction to her life;

(5.) to foster a concern for human worth and needs, physical as
well as intellectual and spiritual;

(6.) to cultivate in the student a sense of responsibility to the
society in which she lives, both within the college community and
beyond.

The College Community

Agnes Scott students have constituted a self-governing body since 1906. A
strong honor system places responsibility on the individual student for
maturity, integrity, and good judgment in self-government. Examinations are
self-scheduled and unproctored, and only those regulations exist which are
necessary for the smooth functioning of the college community.

Small classes allow close faculty-student relationships, and special pro-
grams of study meet the interests of the individual student. National honor
societies include Phi Beta Kappa (scholarship); Mortar Board (service,
scholarship, and leadership); and Eta Sigma Phi (classics). A College con-
vocation, held several times each quarter, serves the important function of
unifying the campus by bringing together all members of the college com-
munity. Opportunities for student involvement are many and varied
through the Student Government Association, special interest clubs, publica-
tions, and student-faculty committees.

Agnes Scott College

Student Government

The Student Government Association directs the activities of the students
through elected members of Representative Council, Honor Court, Interdormi-
tory Council, and Dormitory Councils. Functioning closely with Student
Government is the Board of Student Activities which coordinates the pro-
grams of all student organizations including Arts Council, Athletic Association,
Christian Association, and Social Council. These groups are responsible for
correlating campus activities with the needs of the college community.

Extracurricular A ctivities

Agnes Scott offers a broad range of activities for student participation. A
number of special interest clubs (creative writing, dance, drama, foreign
language, music, politics, and sports) are open to students. Through the
faculty-student Lecture Committee, the College brings to the campus both
lecturers and visiting scholars in various fields and distinguished personalities
from the performing arts. Language clubs Spanish, French, and German ;
offer opportunities to converse in the language and increase knowledge of !
the country and culture studied. Student publications are the Profile, the
campus newspaper; the Silhouette, the student yearbook; and the Aurora, a
quarterly literary magazine.

Arts Council serves as a coordinating body for stimulating creative ex- :
pression and participation in the arts. Exhibitions of paintings and other ,
objects of art are held continuously in the Dalton Galleries. The Studio Dance
Theatre studies contemporary dance and gives an annual formal concert in j
the spring. The Glee Club, composed of fifty members, presents several ;
concerts throughout the year. Three major productions are given each year
by Blackfriars, the college drama group.

The Athletic Association encourages constructive leisure pursuits by offer-
ing a variety of athletic activities in individual and team sports. The Dolphin j
Club, formed in 1935, develops the art of synchronized swimming. Inter- j
collegiate participation is sponsored in field hockey and tennis. |

Other groups which meet special needs of the students are Orientation j
Council, concerned with activities of new students during the first weeks of i
school; Commuting Student Council, which aids these students in participating
fully in campus activities; Students for Black Awareness; Chimo, the club ;
for foreign students; the Georgia Public Interest Research Group; and
Spirit Committee. |

Religious Life

Christian Association is an active student organization which provides an
opportunity for students to participate in various areas of religious life, in-
cluding chapel programs.

The College Community

Students are encouraged to affiliate with the church of their choice in the
Decatur or Atlanta area. Transportation is usually arranged by churches that
are not easily accessible.

Each year a distinguished leader is brought to the campus for a week of
religious emphasis.

A dvising and Counseling

Academic counseling is done by the Dean of the Faculty and her assistants,
major professors, and designated members of the faculty.

General counseling of students, especially in relation to non-academic matters
and social and extra-curricular activities, is centered in the office of the Dean
of Students. A mental health nurse clinician who is a member of the college
Health Center staff is available for counseling on personal problems.

Residence Halls

Full-time students must reside in a college dormitory or in a residence
with parents or other close relatives. Exception is made in the case of stu-
dents in the Return to College Program.

Health Services

The student health services of the College are supervised by the Dean of
Students and are available in the Health Center of the Frances Winship
Walters Infirmary. The college medical staff includes consultants in internal
medicine, gynecology, and psychiatry.

The residence fee charged all boarding students includes ordinary infirmary
and office treatment for resident students. The expense is met by the student
if consultations, laboratory work, or prescription medications are required. Resi-
dent students are urged to consult with a member of the medical staff before
seeking off-campus medical treatment. Cases of serious illness or accident
may be referred to local hospitals.

Non-resident students may be treated for emergencies at the Health Cen-
ter. The College reserves the right, if parents or guardian cannot be reached,
to make decisions concerning emergency health problems for any student. The
parent is expected to sign the forms necessary for this right.

Career Planning

The Office of Career Planning provides a comprehensive counseling and
job referral service which begins with the freshman year and continues after
graduation. The non-fee services provided include vocational testing and
counseling and specific information concerning postgraduate training and
employment opportunities and requirements. The Director of Career Planning
arranges career conferences and workshops and schedules on-campus inter-

Agnes Scott College

views with prospective employers and representatives of graduate or pro-
fessional schools offering work-related programs. Listings for part-time, sum-
mer, and permanent employment opportunities are received and employment
referrals are made to students and alumnae who register for this service.
Permanent reference folders which are sent at the request of alumnae to
prospective employers and graduate schools are maintained in the Office of
Career Planning.

The University Center

Agnes Scott is one of fourteen Atlanta-area institutions composing the
University Center in Georgia. Other institutions in the group are Atlanta
College of Art, the Atlanta University Center, Columbia Theological Seminary,
Emory University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State Uni-
versity, the University of Georgia at Athens, and Oglethorpe University.
These colleges and universities cooperate in sharing facilities, resources, and
activities. Chief areas of cooperation are in library services, visiting scholars,
departmental conferences, and faculty research. Opportunities are also avail-
able, by special arrangement, for juniors and seniors to take courses at other ;
institutions within the Center.

Confidentiality of Student Records

The Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (commonly called the Buckley
Amendment) is designed to protect the privacy of education records, to
establish the rights of students to inspect and review their records, and to
provide a means of correcting inaccurate and misleading data where they can
he shown to exist. Agnes Scott College makes every effort to comply fully
with the terms of this legislation.

Certain information is considered public and is released by the college at
its discretion. Unless a student files written notification to withhold disclosure,
the college will release announcements of graduation, honors, and awards and
will verify dates of attendance and conferring of degrees. Names, addresses,
and other directory information will be released for use within the college
community and in the college directory.

Transcripts of academic records and statements of academic status are
released to third parties only with the written authorization of the student.
The parents of a dependent student have the right of access to the education
record.

A student or her parent has the right to challenge any content of the
student's education record which is considered to be inaccurate, misleading,
or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights. Such a challenge may
be directed to the Registrar of the College and, finally, to the United States
Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

The Campus

The Campus

The College has a campus of over one hundred acres. The main buildings
are brick and stone and those of more recent construction are modern Gothic
in design.

Buttrick Hall, the classroom-administration building, was erected in 1930
and is named in honor of a former president of the General Education Board
of New York. It contains offices, classrooms, a language laboratory, and the
college post office and bookstore.

The McCain Library, erected in 1936, was named in honor of the late Presi-
dent Emeritus James Ross McCain. Library holdings include over 150,000
volumes as well as 13,500 items of audio-visual material recordings, micro-
forms, movies, and tapes. In addition, 800 periodicals are received currently.
There are seven floors of open stacks.

A union catalog at Emory University supplements the bibliographical re-
sources of McCain Library. This catalog represents more than 8,800,000
volumes in the Atlanta-Athens area which may be secured for student and
faculty use on interlibrary loan.

The Library is a member of the Southeastern Library Network, an organiza-
tion of over one hundred leading research libraries in the Southeast which have
joined to share in the automation of library procedures and the use of library
materials.

Presser Hall, completed in 1940, bears the name of Theodore Presser, Phil-
adelphia music publisher. The building contains Gaines Chapel, Maclean
Auditorium, and facilities for the teaching of music, including soundproof
studios and practice rooms.

The John Bulow Campbell Science Hall, completed in 1951, is named in
honor of a former trustee of the College. The building contains laboratories,
lecture rooms, a large assembly room, libraries, a museum, and departmental
offices.

The Charles A. Dana Fine Arts Building, completed in 1965, is named for
the late Mr. Dana, nationally known philanthropist. The building houses the
departments of art and theatre. An outdoor sculpture court and stage, the
Dalton galleries, free-standing balcony studios, and a three-quarter round
theatre with a thrust-stage are special features of the building.

The Dalton galleries contain four permanent collections: the Harry L.
Dalton Collection, the Clifford M. Clarke Collection, the Steffen Thomas
Collection, and the Susan Walker Robinson Memorial Collection of con-
temporary ceramics.

The Bradley Observatory, given by the W. C. and Sarah H. Bradley Foun-
dation, was erected in 1949. The building houses the 30-inch Beck Telescope,

Bucher Scott Gymnasium is the center of athletic activities. Basketball
and badminton courts, swimming pool, and physical education staff offices
are located here. Adjacent to the gymnasium are a playing field, five all-
weather Laykold tennis courts, and an amphitheatre.

The Frances Winship Walters Infirmary, completed in 1949, has capacity
for thirty patients. The building is named in honor of the donor, an alumna
and trustee.

The Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall, completed in 1950, is named in honor
of its principal donor, Mrs. Letitia Pate Evans. The building has a large main
hall and three additional dining rooms.

All dormitories are located on the campus. Agnes Scott Hall, Rebekah Scott,
Inman, Hopkins, Walters, and Winship are the main dormitories. All rooms
are at the same rate; and each room is furnished with single beds, mattresses
and pillows, dressers, chairs, study table, bookcase, and student lamp.

Other buildings on the campus include the President's home, the Murphey
Candler Student Activities Building, and the Anna Young Alumnae House.
Apartments for married students are located in a residential area adjacent to
the main campus.

Agnes Scott College

Admission

A dmission of Freshmen

High school students who want a strong liberal arts education and who
have made good records in school are encouraged to apply tor admission to
Agnes Scott. The College seeks students of varying backgrounds and interests
whose academic and personal qualities give promise of success in the program
here. It admits students of any race, color, creed, and national or ethnic origin.

A faculty committee makes admissions decisions which are based primarily
on evidence of sound academic training, ability, motivation, maturity, and
integrity as shown in the school record, entrance test results, and recommenda-
tions. All available information is studied carefully, and each applicant is
considered as an individual.

Notification of the action of the Admissions Committee is sent to applicants
after November 1. The College abides by the Candidates Reply Date of the
College Entrance Examination Board and does not require any applicant
to give notice of acceptance of an admission or scholarship offer before
May 1.

Preparation for College The Admissions Committee recommends that at
least four academic subjects be studied each year in high school, including
English, college preparatory mathematics (a minimum of three years), foreign
language (a minimum of two years), one or more laboratory sciences, and
one or more courses in social studies. Some flexibility is permitted in choice
of subjects, and students may be accepted without the recommended number
of courses in a particular field. However, skill in English composition, compe-
tence in at least one foreign language, and some understanding of scientific
principles and methods are especially important in preparation for a liberal
arts education.

Students are advised to begin their college planning as early as the ninth
and tenth grades, although college visits are usually postponed until after the
sophomore year. High school sophomores and juniors who are interested in
Agnes Scott are urged to write to the admissions office for a special form on
which an informal statement of courses taken, courses planned, grades, and
general school and community interests may be listed. Helpful suggestions for
the remaining high school years can sometimes be made on the basis of this
preliminary information.

Entrance Examinations Either the College Entrance Examination Board
series (Scholastic Aptitude Test and three Achievement Tests) or the American
College Testing battery is to be taken by each appUcant for admission to the
freshman class.

(1.) College Entrance Examination Board Tests The Scholastic Aptitude

14

Admission

Test and three Achievement Tests should be taken in the junior year or by
January of the senior year.

The Achievement Tests are to be taken in English Composition and in two
other current subjects chosen from two different fields (for example, foreign
language and mathematics). A student who wishes to be tested in a subject that
will not be continued beyond the eleventh grade should take the test in the
late spring of the junior year. In unusual cases Achievement Tests may be
deferred until spring of the senior year, since Achievement Test results are
used for placement as well as admission purposes.

academic quarters of the session will be charged at the rate of $1,700 for a
resident student and $1,175 for a commuting student. The $50 student activity
fee is not included in these charges and is due at the beginning of the first
quarter of enrollment. The advance deposits are due at the scheduled time and
are then credited against the total amount charged for the quarter.

23

Agnes Scott College

leaves the College before the end of the academic year. A per diem board
refund will be made if a boarding student withdraws during the first five
weeks of a quarter. Per diem refunds are calculated from the date that the
official withdrawal card is received by the Registrar.

The College does not provide room and board for resident students during
the Thanksgiving, Christmas, or spring vacation. The dining hall and residence
halls are closed during these periods.

The College exercises every precaution to protect property of students but
cannot be responsible for any losses that may occur. Students responsible for
any damages involving repairs, loss, or replacement of college property are
subject to special charges.

It is understood that upon the entrance of a student her parents or guardian
accept as final and binding the terms and regulations outlined in the catalogue
and on the application for admission or re-registration.

Deferred Payments

Many families elect to meet college expenses from current income through
a tuition payment plan. The College endorses a low cost, deferred payment
program which includes insurance protection. Information may be obtained
from Insured Tuition Payment Plan, 53 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachu-
setts 02108. Deferred payments are not authorized for the advance fees due
in the spring.

Health Insurance

There is no charge for routine treatment in the student Health Center. To
help meet possible medical expenses not provided by the college health serv-
ices, a twelve-month Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan is recom-
mended. Information concerning this plan is sent to parents prior to the
opening of the session. This coverage is required of foreign students.

24

Financial Information

Financial Aid

Agnes Scott makes every effort to provide financial assistance for students
whose resources are insufficient to meet expenses at this college. In 1977,
approximately 45% of the student body received aid from the College in
amounts ranging from $250 to full room, board, and tuition. The average
need-based award was over $2,500.

An Agnes Scott financial aid award is usually a combination of scholarship
grant, low-interest Agnes Scott loan, and the opportunity for on-campus
employment. Students may choose not to accept the loan or the employment
portions of their package. Scholarships and loans are applied toward students'
accounts. The loans bear no interest while students are in attendance and
are repayable within five years after withdrawal or graduation. On-
campus employment is for approximately five hours a week for freshmen and
sophomores (about $375 for the school year) and eight hours a week for
juniors and seniors (about $600 for the school year). Students are paid by
payroll check on a bi-weekly basis.

Financial aid awards are made for one year, but are renewable on evidence
of continued financial need. The amounts of subsequent awards are based on
current financial statements filed each year. Students are expected to be
members in good standing of the College community.

Financial aid information is confidential and is not a factor in admissions
decisions.

Application Procedure Freshman applicants seeking financial assistance
file a Financial Aid Form (FAF) with the College Scholarship Service (CSS),
P.O. Box 2700, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The College will also accept
the Family Financial Statement (FFS) which is to be submitted to the
American College Testing Program (ACT), P.O. Box 1000, Iowa City, Iowa
52240, but it prefers the FAF. These forms may be obtained from the high
school guidance office and should be filed by February 15 for priority con-
sideration. Prospective students should also indicate their interest in financial
assistance on the Agnes Scott application for admission.

Presently enrolled students seeking aid for the next session should obtain a
copy of the FAF from the Financial Aid Office. Instructions for applying are
posted on the official bulletin board during the fall quarter. Transfer appli-
cants may obtain a copy of the FAF from the Agnes Scott admissions office.
They should also arrange to have a financal aid transcript sent to the Agnes
Scott Director of Financial Aid from all institutions they have previously
attended.

Determination of Awards The amount of financial aid granted to a student
is based on need, which is defined as the difference between the cost of at-

25

Agnes Scott College

26

Financial Information

tending Agnes Scott and the family's financial resources. The family's re-
sources are determined from the information submitted on the CSS Financial
Aid Form or the ACT Family Financial Statement. Among the factors used
in the analysis are the following: family and student income and assets (in-
cluding the student's summer earnings), taxes, medical expenses, extraordinary
debts and expenses, current living expenses and retirement allowances, number
of dependents, and number of children in college. Copies of the federal
income tax return for the year prior to entrance are required for verification.
These should be submitted to the finanical aid office by June 1. Students are
also expected to inform the financial aid office of any significant changes
in the financial situation of their family which might necessitate an increase
or decrease in aid.

Confidentiality of Awards Since the amount of an award reflects a family's
financial circumstances, the award will be considered a private matter between
the student and her parents and the financial aid committee. In accordance
with the legislation titled "The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of
1974," Agnes Scott College will not release this information to others (except
specific scholarship donors) without the student's written consent.

Notification of Awards New students are notified shortly after receiving
notice of acceptance, provided their aid applications are complete. Returning
students are usually notified by April 1.

Special Scholarships Agnes Scott offers several four-year scholarships an-
nually through the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Recipients are
selected from finalists who have designated Agnes Scott as their college choice.
As participants in the Charles A. Dana Scholarship Program, the College will
award scholarships totaling $40,000 to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors
for the 1978-79 session. Factors in the selection of the Merit and Dana Scholars
are leadership potential and academic promise and achievement. Financial need
is the basis for determining the amount of each scholarship.

The Nannette Hopkins Scholarships in Music are awarded annually on the
basis of musical talent and promise. As many as four renewable scholarships
of $1,000 each, plus additional financial aid where needed, are awarded.
Applications are obtained from the admissions office. Applicants are expected
to audition in person or on tape for the music department.

The Marie L. Rose Scholarship of $1,000 is awarded annually by the
Huguenot Society of America to a rising sophomore, junior, or senior who
presents proof of eligibility as a Huguenot descendant. Applications for this
award are made through the Agnes Scott Financial Aid Committee.

Other Sources of Funds

Students interested in financial assistance at Agnes Scott are required to
apply for all federal and state grants which may be available to them. They

27

Agnes Scott College

are also encouraged to investigate the possibility of aid through community
agencies, local foundations, corporations, unions, and religious and civic
groups. They should consult their high school counselors and local libraries
or the Agnes Scott Director of Financial Aid for further information.

Federal Programs The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program
(BEOG) is a federal student aid program which provides grants that range
from $200 to $1,600 to those with substantial financial need. In order to be
considered for this grant, students must check the appropriate box on the FAF
or the FFS. No other application is necessary.

The Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSLP) enables students to borrow
directly from banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, and other
participating lenders. These loans are usually at 7 percent interest and are
guaranteed by a state or private nonprofit agency or insured by the federal
government. Students should inquire about these loans at their local lenders
or through the United Student Aid Funds, Inc., 200 East 42nd Street, New
York, KY. 10017.

State Grants Georgia residents who are classified as degree candidates,
who were legal residents of Georgia for the twelve months immediately
preceding enrollment, and who are taking at least twelve hours are eligible for
tuition grants through the Georgia Grant Program for Private Colleges. These
grants are not based on financial need. For the 1977-78 session, they were
$500 per student.

Georgia residents who are full-time students, who demonstrate substantial
financial need, and who began their college studies after April 1, 1974 are
eligible for Georgia Incentive Scholarships, which range from $150 to $450
per year.

Applications for Georgia programs are available from the Agnes Scott fi-
nancial aid office. Georgia Incentive applications must be filed before July
1. Georgia Tuition Grant applications must be filed before the first day of
classes.

Other states including Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont have grant programs which
may be used in out-of-state colleges. Inquiries about these programs should
be made to the office of education of the state in which the student resides.

28

The Academic
Program

Agnes Scott College

Curriculum

Agnes Scott College confers the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The academic
program is planned to allow the student the maximum possible freedom within
the scope of a liberal arts education. The curriculum is designed to help her
gain a basic acquaintance with the major areas of knowledge and competence
in one or two disciplines in these areas. She achieves these objectives through
a plan of distribution of studies, concentration in one or two disciplines, and
elective work to meet her special interests.

The College operates on a three-quarter academic calendar, and the unit
of credit is the quarter hour. A course scheduled for three class (lecture)
hours a week for one quarter carries credit of three quarter hours, and a
course scheduled for three hours a week for the academic year carries credit
of nine quarter hours. A three-hour laboratory is equivalent to one lecture hour.

Requirements for the Degree

The minimum number of credit hours required for the B.A. degree is one
hundred and eighty, usually earned in four years (twelve quarters). Minimum
qualitative requirements for the degree are a cumulative 1.00 quality point
ratio (C average) on courses taken at Agnes Scott, and a grade of C or above
on every course accepted for transfer credit.

Organization of Curriculum

The basic curriculum serves as a framework for breadth of knowledge and
as a complement of the student's major area of concentration. Each student is
urged to elect her course of study in terms of her previous education and her
interests, avoiding duplication of experience by applying for exemption from
courses in fields in which she is already competent.

Distribution of Studies For success in any field of education a student
should be able to read attentively and critically, to write clearly and analytically,
and to use research skills. Therefore, a specific requirement for all freshmen
is a course in English composition and reading.

A student, unless exempted, will complete a course in biblical literature in
order to have some understanding of the Judaeo-Christian dimension of West-
ern civilization.

A student, unless exempted, will complete the intermediate level of an
ancient or a modern foreign language in order to gain some knowledge of
another civilization through its own language and literature.

A student will take six quarters of physical education during the first two
years of residence in order to have a regular program of physical activity.

A student, in order to ensure breadth of intellectual experience, will choose
one or more courses from each of the following groups:

30

The Academic Program

(1.) Literature in the language of its composition English or ancient or
modern foreign language at the 200 level or higher. A minimum of 9 quarter
hours in one discipline.

(2.) History, classical civilization and history, philosophy. A minimum of
9 quarter hours in one discipline.

(3.) Astronomy, biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics. A minimum of
14 quarter hours with at least two quarters of work in each of two disciplines,
one of which must be a laboratory science.

(4.) Economics, political science, psychology, sociology, anthropology. A
minimum of 9 quarter hours in one discipline.

(5.) Art, creative writing, music, theatre. A minimum of 5 quarter hours
in one discipline.

Exemption A student may, with the approval of the departments concerned,
be exempted from certain course or distribution requirements. Such exemptions
may be granted as a result of (1) College Entrance Examination Board Ad-
vanced Placement Examination scores; (2) College Entrance Examination
Board Achievement Test scores; (3) Exemption examinations given by the
College; (4) CLEP Subject Examination scores.

Area of Concentration (Major) In the spring quarter of the sophomore year
each student usually elects a major or majors consisting of an approved pro-
gram of courses taken in one discipline or in each of two disciplines. This
choice may be made as early as the spring quarter of the freshman year.

The major consists of a minimum of forty-five and a maximum of seventy-
two quarter hours in one discipline. Any hours in excess of seventy-two must
represent work beyond the one hundred eighty hours required for the degree,
unless permission for additional hours has been given for a specific interdepart-
mental major.

The major program must be approved by the department chairman.

Major work is offered in the following disciplines: Art, Bible and Religion,
Biology, Chemistry, Classics, Economics. English, French, German, Greek,
History, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science,
Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, and Theatre.

Also offered are interdepartmental majors in Art History-English Literature,
History-English Literature, and Fine Arts; and intradepartmental majors in
English and Creative Writing and in Physics-Astronomy.

A student may create her own major with the aid of her adviser or the
chairman of the department concerned. Such an individually-designed major
may cut across departmental lines.

Preparation for Graduate and Professional Study

More than twenty-five precent of each class enters graduate or professional
school immediately after college. A liberal arts program with sound education

31

Agnes Scott College

in basic disciplines is considered the best preparation for most graduate or pro-
fessional work. During her four years at Agnes Scott, a student may satisfy
requirements for the B.A. degree and at the same time prepare for graduate
study or for entrance into such professional schools as architecture, law, medi-
cine, dentistry, business, journalism, social service, and education.

A student planning to earn an advanced degree should confer with her major
professor and the Dean of the Faculty as early as possible in order to be aware
of any specific courses needed. Information regarding graduate and professional
schools, fellowships, and standard examinations may be obtained in the office
of the Dean of the Faculty. Law schools, medical schools, and some graduate
schools require special admission tests. Arrangements for taking these tests are
the responsibility of the student.

Medicine The premedical program at Agnes Scott College allows a student
to meet the requirements for admission to medical school while majoring in any
academic discipline of her choice. Almost all medical schools recognize the
importance of a four-year liberal arts education. Minimum requirements for
admission to medical school can generally be satisfied with two years of chem-
istry and one year each of biology, physics, and English. Many institutions re-
quire mathematics through calculus and some advise courses in the behavioral
sciences. A student planning a premedical program should consult the Dean of
the Faculty who serves as premedical adviser. The annual bulletin of the Associ-
ation of American Medical Colleges is helpful in listing medical school admis-
sion requirements. Arrangements may be made to take the Medical College
Admission Test at local centers.

Law The normal preparation for law school is a four-year course of study
in the liberal arts. No specific courses are prescribed for a prelaw program. In
order to qualify for admission to law school, students must present strong under-
graduate records in any major of their choice. The Law School Admission Test
is required. Students interested in studying law should consult the Dean of the
Faculty and their major professors. Copies of the Prelaw Handbook are on file
in the office of the Dean.

Business and Management A major in almost any academic discipline is
suitable preparation for graduate programs in business and management. Grad-
uate schools are generally interested in students who have strong liberal arts
programs. Students should have mathematics through calculus and at least
introductory work in economics and accounting.

Professional Programs

Teaching Agnes Scott has a state-approved program for teaching at the
elementary level and in several secondary fields. Students who complete the
program satisfactorily are eligible for the Georgia T-4 certificate. This certifi-
cate is generally accepted throughout the United States. In the case of one or I

32

The Academic Program

two states, certain specific courses are required; arrangements can be made
to meet these special requirements as a part of the Agnes Scott degree.

Students in the professional teacher education program have an opportunity
to observe and work in a wide variety of school settings. Tutoring opportunities
in such schools are open to all levels, including first quarter freshmen.

Students interested in teaching should consult the chairman of the depart-
ment of education as early as the beginning of the freshman year and no later
than the spring quarter of the sophomore year.

engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Upon completion of this
five-year liberal arts/ professional program, she will qualify as an engineer and
will be awarded bachelor's degrees from both institutions. A highly qualified
student may be awarded the second degree at the master's level.

Students interested in this 3-2 program should consult the Agnes Scott dual
degree coordinator as early as possible in the freshman year. Requirements
include certain courses in chemistry, mathematics, and physics. In addition, the
student must select a major and plan a program which will satisfy all distribu-

tion requirements for the Agnes Scott degree by the end of the junior year
and, if the student should elect to remain at Agnes Scott for the senior year,
all requirements for an Agnes Scott departmental major.

Admission to the program at the Georgia Institute of Technology is based
on the completion of the above requirements and the recommendation of the
dual degree coordinator (currently the chairman of the mathematics depart-
ment).

Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) Through a special
cross-town arrangement, Agnes Scott students may participate in the Air Force
Reserve Officers Training Corps at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The
first two years of the program constitute the General Military Course (GMC)
and the last two years the Professional Officers Course (POC)

Students enrolled in the GMC incur no military obligation and must compete
for entry into the POC. Students interested in a two-year program may com-
pete for entry into the POC without having participated in the GMC. Admis-
sion to the POC is based upon the results of an Air Force medical examination,
an officer qualifying test, SAT/ ACT scores, and a personal interview.

All cadets attend a field training session between the sophomore and junior
years. Students accepted into the POC become members of the Air Force
Reserve and receive a $100 per month tax free subsistence allowance.

AFROTC college scholarships are available to qualified cadets in the two-
year and four-year program.

Internships and Field Experiences

Legislative Internship Students majoring in history and political science
may spend the winter quarter of the senior year serving as interns in the

35

Agnes Scott College

Georgia Legislature. Participants are selected in the spring of the junior year.
Students in the program register for Political Science 425 (The Legislative
Process) and receive ten quarter hours of academic credit.

Washington Semester Agnes Scott participates in the American University's
Washington Semester, which permits students to study and observe the federal
government in operation. Two rising juniors or seniors who have completed
at least one course in American national government are selected each year
by the College's political science faculty to take the fall term in American
University.

The College participates in two other programs of American University:
(1) the Economic Policy Semester, which offers students the opportunity for
intensive examination of the policy making process in Washington, particularly
as it relates to international and domestic economic policy; and (2) the Science
and Technology Semester, which offers students an opportunity to study the
present state of science and technology in national problem areas such as
energy, pollution, health, and crime detection. Each year a rising junior or
senior is selected by the Agnes Scott economics faculty for the Economic Policy
Semester, and by the science-mathematics faculties for the Science and Tech-
nology Semester.

Field Experiences Learning through field experience can be a valuable
adjunct to classroom learning. The college will endeavor to make worthwhile
experiences possible for students whose academic programs would benefit from
such opportunities. Academic credit has been established for such programs as
the Legislative Internship and the Washington Semester. Credit may be author-
ized for other field experiences on recommendation of the appropriate depart-
ment and the Curriculum Committee and with the approval of the faculty.
Students are urged to take advantage of other beneficial experiences even
though the awarding of academic credit may seem inappropriate.

Special Programs on Campus

Independent Study Students with proven ability in a major field may have
the opportunity to explore for themselves some area of intellectual or artistic
interest in the major and to produce independently a piece of work connected
with it. Students may begin a program of Independent Study as early as the
spring quarter of the junior year. A student who wishes to participate in the
program makes application to her major department. Admission to the pro-
gram is granted by the Committee on Independent Study, upon the recom-
mendation of the academic department.

Independent Study carries the course number 490 and may be taken for
three, four, or five hours per quarter with a minimum total of six hours and a i
maximum of ten. A minimum of six quarter hours of Independent Study is !
required for graduation with high honor.

36

The Academic Program

Special Study Special Study, offered by all academic departments, is de-
signed for senior majors who wish to pursue work in some area not included in
the department's existing course offerings. Though it is intended primarily for
senior majors within the department, a few non-majors who present sufficient
evidence of preparation in the discipline may be admitted. Special Study,
numbered 410, may be taken for three or five hours of credit. Applications for
admission to the program are submitted to the Curriculum Committee. Ordi-
narily a student may take no more than six hours of 410 in a single discipline
and no more than ten hours of 410 during her college program. In unusual
circumstances, a junior may be admitted to the program.

Language Corridors The French, German, and Spanish Corridors are resi-
dential options for students desiring an intensive exposure to the French,
German, and Spanish languages and cultures. A special dormitory wing has
been set aside for this purpose, with coordinators who are natives of France,
Germany, and Spain. Eligible students are those on or above the intermediate
level in the three languages. Applications are to be filed in the office of the
Dean of Students.

Summer Courses

Students may attend summer sessions in accredited colleges and universities.
Their courses must be approved in advance by the Dean of the Faculty.

A maximum of eighteen quarter hours will be approved for a single summer
session, and a maximum total of thirty quarter hours of summer work may be
counted toward the Agnes Scott degree. A grade of C or above must be made
in each course.

A gnes Scott Summer Programs

Agnes Scott offers several summer study programs, both abroad and in the
United States. These programs are usually on a rotating basis. Detailed course
descriptions of each program are to be found in the section on Courses of
Instruction. Dates, costs, and other details of the programs are supplied during
the academic year prior to the program. These courses are on the same credit
and quality point system as those taught in the regular college session and are
not included in the thirty hour limitation for summer school work elsewhere.

There are two summer study programs in biology. Desert Biology (1978) is
taught in the western United States. Marine Biology (1979) is taught in coastal
Georgia and Florida and in the Bahamas.

A number of programs exist outside the United States. They are as follows:
Summer Study in Rome in classics and art history (1979); Summer Study in
Germany for students of German (1978); Summer Study in England and
Scotland in British history (1980); Summer Study in Mexico: Spanish (1978);
Summer Study in Mexico: Anthropology (1978).

37

Agnes Scott College

Junior Year Abroad

A qualified student may substitute for the work of the junior year at Agnes
Scott a year of study abroad in an approved program. To be eligible for the
junior year abroad a student must have high standing in the work of the first
two years at Agnes Scott and must be recommended by her major department
and the language department concerned. A number of programs abroad offered
by American colleges and universities place special emphasis on the study of
the language and culture of another country. Other students, especially in the
areas of English and history, have the opportunity to spend the junior year in a
British university.

Students interested in applying for junior year abroad programs should con-
sult their major departments early in the sophomore year. Written requests to
take the junior year abroad must be filed with the Dean of the Faculty before
February 1 of the sophomore year and must be approved by the Committee on
Academic Standards. Credit for junior year abroad programs is awarded on the
basis of a transcript from an American college or university. In the case of a
student pursuing an independent program at a British university, credit is
awarded by the Curriculum Committee upon the recommendation of the
departments concerned.

The Academic Program

Administration of the Curriculum

Classification of Students A classified student is one who has been ad-
mitted as a candidate for the Agnes Scott degree. Students are classified as
follows:

Freshmen: students who have earned less than 36 quarter hours of credit.

Sophomores: students who have earned at least 36 quarter hours of credit and a cumula-
tive quality point ratio of at least 0.50.

Juniors: students who have earned at least 84 quarter hours of credit and a cumulative
quality point ratio of at least 0.75.

Seniors: students who have earned at least 132 quarter hours of credit and a cumulative
quality point ratio of at least 0.91.

Students who present advanced standing credits will be classified during
their initial quarter at Agnes Scott on the basis of credit hours alone.

An unclassified student is one who is not a candidate for the Agnes Scott
degree. Such students are primarily of three kinds: (a) adults not working
toward a degree, (b) transient students working toward a degree at another
institution, and (c) high school students on a joint enrollment program. Un-
classified students are permitted to earn a maximum of 36 quarter hours of
credit at Agnes Scott. Requests for exception must be directed to the Com-
mittee on Academic Standards. Unclassified students who wish to become
candidates for the degree must submit a petition to the Office of Admissions
before completing 36 quarter hours of credit. Once a student has been given
classified status, she may not return to unclassified status.

Residence Requirement The junior and senior years, or three of the four
years, including the senior year, are to be completed at Agnes Scott. Under
special circumstances, a student who has completed three years at Agnes Scott,
or two years including one at the upper division level, may take the senior year
at another institution. A request for this exception to the residence requirement
must be filed with the Dean of the Faculty by the beginning of the spring
quarter of the preceding session. Permission may then be granted by the Com-
mittee on Academic Standards on recommendation of the chairman of the
major department and the Dean of the Faculty.

Classified students in the Return to College program comply with degree
requirements according to the following maximum time limits: (a) four years,
if initially classified as a junior; (b) six years, if initially classified as a sopho-
more; and (c) eight years, if initially classified as a freshman. For students in
this program, the junior and senior years are equivalent to the final ninety
quarter hours of credit for the degree.

Acceleration A student may receive permission from the Dean of the
Faculty and her major department to complete degree requirements in nine,
ten, or eleven quarters. This acceleration may be accomplished in any of the
following ways: (1) entering with Advanced Placement credits based on Col-
lege Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Examinations; (2)

39

Agnes Scott College

carrying excess course loads during regular sessions; (3) attending summer
sessions at other institutions, or an Agnes Scott summer program.

Selection of Courses Students already in residence pre-register for the next
session during Course Selection Week in the spring quarter. Entering freshmen
receive instructions from the office of the Dean of the Faculty in the early
summer and file a preliminary selection of courses in July. They consult special
advisers for final course selection after they arrive in September. Entrance into
any course is prohibited after the tenth day of the quarter.

Course Loads The normal academic load is from fourteen to eighteen hours
per quarter. Students may take a minimum load of twelve hours for a total of
three out of the six quarters comprising the freshman and sophomore years.
Juniors and seniors are permitted to elect one quarter of thirteen hours each
year, provided the total number of hours elected for the year is at least forty-
two. Students may petition the Committee on Academic Standards for other
exceptions to the normal course load. Students in the Return to College
Program are not subject to the limitations for minimum course loads.

Course Changes A course of study which has been approved may be
changed only in accordance with posted instructions. No new course may be
elected after the first ten days of a quarter, and no shift from letter-grade
basis to pass-fail or pass-fail to letter grade may be made after the first ten days
of a quarter.

No course may be dropped after the first month of each quarter. Dates are
posted in September.

Auditing Students may audit courses with written permission from the
Dean of the Faculty. The student's previous academic record and the number
of credit hours being carried are factors considered. Permission for auditing is
given during the first two class days of each quarter.

Class Attendance Attendance at academic sessions is not mandatory, with
the exceptions noted below, but the responsibility for work missed is entirely
that of the individual student.

Attendance at all academic appointments is required of students on academic
probation and of all freshmen during the fall quarter. These students are per-
mitted one cut in each class during the quarter.

Attendance at tests announced at least a week in advance is mandatory.

Examinations Examinations are self-scheduled and are held at the end of
each quarter. With the exception of a few examinations scheduled in advance
because of the nature of the course or the size of the class, a student may take
any examination that she chooses at any of the times set for examinations.
She is not required to submit an examination schedule in advance.

A student who because of illness is unable to complete examinations during
the regular period may take the examinations in question at the time scheduled

40

The Academic Program

for re-examinations. Re-examinations are permitted in the case of conditional
failure and are given in the first week of the next quarter.

Grades and Grading System Grades indicating the student's standing in any
i course are officially recorded as follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, average; D,
' passing; E, conditional failure; F, failure. Grades for courses taken on a pass-
fail basis are recorded as P or F.

A total of ten quarter hours of work may be elected on a pass-fail basis
during the junior and senior years. The following courses may not be elected
on a pass-fail basis: courses taken to meet distribution and specific require-
ments for the degree, or courses in the major, or certain courses in the teacher
education program. A student's intention to elect pass-fail courses must be
signified to the Registrar by the tenth day of the quarter.

Grades (except for courses taken on pass-fail basis) are evaluated by a
quality point system: A =z 3 quality points per quarter hour, B ^ 2, C m 1,
D = 0. For a statement of the grade and quality point requirements for class
standing and for the degree, see sections on the classification of students and
requirements for the degree.

Quarter grades in year or two-quarter courses are progress reports only.
Credit and quality points are based on the final official grade and are given
only on completion of the entire course.

Grade reports are issued to students at the end of each quarter. They are sent
to parents who have filed a written request and whose daughters are dependents
according to Internal Revenue Code of 1954, Section 152.

Graduation Honors Students may be graduated with honor or with high
honor. A student is eligible to be graduated with honor if she attains a cumula-
tive quality point ratio of 2.40, has maintained this minimum level in the work
of her last six quarters in residence (figured on a cumulative basis for all
work for the six quarters), has been eligible for Honor Roll in at least one of
her last two sessions in residence, and receives the recommendation of her
major department.

A student is eligible to be graduated with high honor if she attains a cumula-
tive quality point ratio of 2.70, has completed a minimum of six quarter hours
of independent study distributed over two quarters, and meets all other re-
quirements specified above for graduation with honor.

Honor Roll is based on quality point ratios earned in a given academic ses-
sion. Requirements are posted.

Academic Review and Discipline The work of each student is reviewed at
the end of every quarter. A student whose work is unsatisfactory will be placed
on academic probation. Academic probation serves as a warning to the student
that her work must improve. A student whose work continues to be unsatis-
factory may be subject to academic dismissal.

A full-time student will be subject to academic dismissal if she fails to earn a
minimum of thirty quarter hours of degree credit in any academic session. She

41

Agnes Scott College

will be subject to academic dismissal if she fails to make appropriate class
standing for two successive years or if she has been on academic probation for
two consecutive quarters.

An unclassified student's eligibility to continue her work at Agnes Scott will
be determined by the Dean of the Faculty, subject to confirmation by the
Committee on Academic Standards.

A student whose continuance in college may involve danger to her own
health or to that of others may be asked to withdraw.

Each student upon entrance agrees to undertake to live by the Honor System
and to uphold the standards and regulations of the College as outlined in the
Student Handbook. A student who fails to do so may be asked by the Adminis-
trative Committee to withdraw from college.

Withdrawal A student who withdraws during the session for reasons other
than suspension or dismissal must obtain a withdrawal card from the Dean of
Students or the Dean of the Faculty. The student is not officially withdrawn
until the card is on file in the Registrar's office.

Philosophy

Associate Professor Parry (Chairman)
Assistant Professor Behan

The department offers two approaches to philosophy on the beginning level:
the systematic and the historical. Although the two approaches are not strictly
separate, they each have different emphases. The systematic approach deals
with issues in philosophy, e.g. ethics, without necessarily concentrating on the
historical development of the issue. The historical approach traces the develop-
ment of issues through a portion of the history of philosophy. The systematic
beginning courses are: 102, 103, 104, 106, 230, 232. The historical beginning
courses are 206, 207, 208; the latter courses are best taken in historical
sequence.

It is the purpose of the physical education department to assist students in
their physical, mental, and social development through a program of regular
physical activity. Physical education is required of all students three hours a
week during the first two years. Students entering with advanced standing
credits, but with additional credit to earn in physical education, are required
to take physical education in their first quarter or quarters of residence.

Students who must be limited in physical activity should have a physician's
statement filed with the Dean of the Faculty.

The physical education program includes a wide variety of activities which
accommodate varying levels of skills and abilities. In order to complete a di-
verse program, students select courses from at least three of the five areas listed
below:

Aquatics: Intermediate swimming, synchronized swimming, advanced life-
saving. Red Cross instructor's course in water safety.

Dance: Beginning and intermediate contemporary dance, ballet, jazz, tap,
folk, square, and social dance.

Dual Sports: Badminton, fencing, tennis.

Individual Sports: Archery, camping, fundamentals, golf, gymnastics and
tumbling. Riding (huntseat equitation. Olympic style) is taught at the Vogt
