General Information

History

Agnes Scott had its beginnings in the faith and vision of a small group of
Presbyterians in Decatur, Georgia. The organizing of a Christian school was
undertaken in July of 1889, and, under the influence of the Reverend Frank
Henry Gaines, minister of the Decatur Presbyterian Church, it was decided
that the school would be primarily for girls and young women. Founded in that
year as the Decatur Female Seminary, the school occupied a rented house and
had slightly over $5,000 of subscribed capital. There were four teachers and
sixty-three students, and the work offered was of grammar-school level. In the
spring of 1890, Colonel George Washington Scott, a leading Decatur
businessman, gave $40,000 to provide "a home" for the school. Colonel Scott
had earlier provided 40% of the initial capital, and his gifts to the new school
constituted the largest sum given to education in Georgia up to that time. In
recognition of his interest and support, the Board of Trustees changed the
school's name to Agnes Scott Institute in honor of Colonel Scott's mother.

Within ten years the Institute was accredited as a secondary school. In 1906 it
was chartered as Agnes Scott College, and the first degrees were awarded. The
College was accredited in 1907 by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools and thus became the first college or university in Georgia to receive
regional accreditation. In 1920 the College was placed on the approved list of
the Association of American Universities and in 1926 was granted a charter by
the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. Agnes Scott is also a charter member
of the American Association of University Women and of the Southern
University Conference.

Throughout its history, Agnes Scott has sought to maintain the ideals first
voiced by its founders: ". . . the formation and development of Christian
character" and "a high standard of scholarship." The College is proud of its
Presbyterian heritage and continues an informal affiliation with the
Presbyterian Church in the United States; but it has been since its founding an
independent institution governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Its
academic program has been based on a firm adherence to the traditional liberal
arts disciplines supplemented by academic and extracurricular opportunities
designed to meet the changing needs of women in our society.

From modest beginnings, the permanent assets of the College have grown to
almost $60,000,000 of which some $40,000,000 is in endowment. From a single
house on a small lot Agnes Scott has expanded into twenty buildings on some
one hundred acres. In its ninety-two year history it has been served by four
presidents: Frank Henry Gaines (1889-1923), James Ross McCain (1923-1951),
Wallace McPherson Alston (1951-1973), and Marvin Banks Perry, Jr.
(1973- ).

Agnes Scott College

Purpose

Agnes Scott was founded for the purpose of "establishing, 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."

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 contributions 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 commitment 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.

Policies

Nondiscrimination

Agnes Scott College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed,
national or ethnic origin, or handicap in the recruitment and admission of
students or the recruitment and employment of faculty and staff. This non-
discriminatory policy also applies to all the rights, privileges, programs, and ac-
tivities generally accorded or made available to students at the College; and to
the administration of education policies, scholarship and loan programs, stu-
dent employment, and other college-administered programs.

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 pro-
vide a means of correcting inaccurate and misleading data. 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

General Information

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 com-
munity and in the college directory.

Transcripts of academic records and statements of academic status are releas-
ed 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 stu-
dent'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.

Suspension, Dismissal, and Withdrawal

A student may be suspended or dismissed from the College if she fails to meet
the academic standards prescribed by the Faculty. Each student upon entrance
agrees to undertake to live by the Honor System and to uphold the standards
and regulations of the College outlined in the Student Handbook. A student
who fails to do so may be suspended or dismissed. In either case, final action is
taken by the Administrative Committee acting upon the recommendation of
the appropriate student or faculty body.

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

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

Student Life

The Honor System

The Honor System is the cornerstone of life at Agnes Scott. The freedom to
grow responsibly in social and academic life is the basis on which the Honor
System is built. Each member of the college community is committed to
develop and uphold high standards of honesty and behavior. Self-scheduled ex-
ams, unproctored quizzes, and open rooms are among the benefits enjoyed by
students. On entering the College, each student voluntarily pledges her sup-
port to this way of life.

Orientation

Orientation for new students is planned by a student organization. Orienta-
tion Council. All components of the college community help to provide a wide
spectrum of activities, both academic and social, on the campus and in
metropolitan Atlanta.

Agnes Scott College

Residence Halls

The life of the College is influenced by the fact that students live and work in
a small residential community. A dorm president and a dorm council are
elected for each dormitory, and a senior resident, who is a member of the staff
of the Dean of Students, is available for conferences when needed. All regula-
tions governing the college community are clearly set forth in a Student Hand-
book which is given to each student when she arrives on the campus.

All rooms are at the same rate. Each room is furnished with single beds, mat-
tresses and pillows, dressers, chairs, study tables, student lamps, and bookcases.

Full-time students must reside in a college dormitory or in a residence with
parents, close relatives, or spouse. Exception is made in the case of students in
the Return to College Program. Students who wish to change from resident to
non-resident status or non-resident to resident status must obtain permission
from the Dean of Students.

Advising and Counseling

A chief function of the Dean of the College and her staff, assisted by major
professors and other designated members of the faculty, is academic counseling.

General counseling of students, especially in relation to non-academic mat-
ters and social and extracurricular activities, is centered in the office of the
Dean of Students. A consulting psychologist is available for additional counsel-
ing through the Dean of Students.

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 psychology. Nurses are on duty in the Health
Center Monday through Friday. A gynecological clinic is held every Tuesday
evening from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

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 on-campus nurses 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 Center.

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. Students are finan-
cially responsible for any care received at local hospitals or emergency rooms.
Students should have insurance identification cards when consulting with out-
side health agencies.

General Information

Student Government

To learn to live honorably and unselfishly in a community and to share the
responsibility of self-government is the stated purpose of the Student Govern-
ment Association. Such experiences are a part of the broader education offered
at Agnes Scott. Students have an active role in shaping the policies and regula-
tions of the College. The president of Student Government, the chairman of
Honor Court, and the chairman of Interdormitory Council are full voting
members of the Administrative Committee of the College in all student-
oriented matters.

The activities of the students are directed through elected members of
Representative Council, Honor Court, Interdormitory Council, and Dor-
mitory Councils. Functioning closely with Student Government is the Board of
Student Activities, which coordinates the programs 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.

Academic Honors

The Beta of Georgia Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was established at Agnes
Scott in 1926. The Chapter conducts annual elections in accordance with
criteria and procedures prescribed by the United Chapters.

Superior academic work is recognized by the College in several ways. At the
Honors Convocation held each fall the Class Honor Roll is read, and Stukes
Scholars three students who rank first academically in the rising sophomore,
junior, and senior classes are announced.

The Dana Scholarship Program was begun in 1970 with a grant from the
Charles A. Dana Foundation. Academic promise, leadership potential, and
financial need are criteria for this honor.

The Alpha Delta chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, a national honorary fraternity of
Greek and Latin students, was organized at Agnes Scott in 1928. The society
encourages classical scholarship and appreciation of ancient learning both in
the Agnes Scott student body and in the local high school. The basis of elec-
tion to membership is scholarship.

Founded at Mulenberg College in 1930, Phi Sigma Tau is a member of the
Association of College Honor Societies. The Agnes Scott chapter was organiz-
ed in 1979. The Society promotes ties between philosophy departments in ac-
credited institutions and students interested in philosophy. Membership is
open to all qualified students who have taken at least three courses in
philosophy.

Extracurricular Activities

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 lee-

Agnes Scott College

turers 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 expres-
sion 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 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 offering
a variety of athletic activities in individual and team sports. The Dolphin Club,
formed in 1935, develops the art of synchronized swimming. Intercollegiate par-
ticipation is sponsored in field hockey and tennis.

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

Career Planning

The Office of Career Planning offers undergraduates and alumnae a com-
prehensive program, the primary goals of which are an expanded awareness of
career and lifestyle options, the ability to make informed career decisions, and
the development of successful job-search strategies.

To help attain these goals, the Office provides individual counseling, con-
ferences, and workshops on such topics as specific career fields, skills assess-
ment, decision making, job hunting, resume writing, and interviewing tech-
niques.

A major component of the career planning program is experiential learning,
with several options for off-campus experiences offered each year. Through the
Shadow Program, students spend an afternoon or longer during the academic
year talking with Atlanta-area sponsors who work in career fields of interest to
the student. By participating in the Extern Program, students themselves have
a greater opportunity to perform some aspect of the job as they spend a concen-
trated five-day period during a school vacation with sponsors and their col-
leagues. Continually expanding internships and cooperative education op-
portunities are an integral part of the program.

Each student who seeks counseling has access both to self-assessment aids
and vocational testing, as well as to an alumnae advisory network that provides
career advisers and role models. A number of prospective employers and
graduate schools send recruiters to the campus each year. Full-time, summer,
and part-time job referrals are provided upon request. A permanent credentials
service is provided for alumnae.

10

General Information

A Career Resource Room contains books and pamphlets about traditional
and non- traditional careers, lifestyles, the status of woman in the work world,
occupational outlook, and opportunities with specific employers. Graduate and

her academic work and extracurricular activities by participating in career-
related activities both on and off the campus. Counseling, information, and job
placement services are available to alumnae as well as to current students.

The Campus

Agnes Scott's campus consists of more than 100 acres and 20 buildings seven
miles east of the heart of Atlanta. Its buildings range in architectural diversity
from the Victorian spaciousness of Agnes Scott Hall built in 1891 to the
modern Gothic Dana Fine Arts building designed by John Portman in 1965.

Buttrick Hall, named in honor of a former president of the General Educa-
tion Board of New York, is a classroom-administration building. It was exten-

Agnes Scott uses the Common Application which is a form shared by a na-
tional group of private, selective colleges. The form may be completed once by
the applicant, duplicated, and mailed to any of the user colleges with the ap-
propriate application fee. The non-refundable application fee for Agnes Scott
College is $15 for the 1981-82 session and will be $25 for the 1982-83 session.
Many high school guidance offices have a store of the Common Application
Forms which students may request.

Application forms are mailed to students on the mailing list in September.
Any student may secure an application form by calling or by writing to the Ad-
missions Office.

The College subscribes to a Rolling Admissions Plan. Notification of the
decision of the Admissions Committee occurs after all credentials in the appli-
cant's file are received and a decision is reached by the Committee.

The Admissions Committee is comprised of three teaching faculty members
selected by the faculty, the Dean of the College, and the Director of Admis-
sions. Members of the Committee make admissions decisions based on
evidence of applicants' sound academic training, ability, motivation, maturity,
and integrity as shown in school records, entrance test results, and school
recommendations.

Agnes Scott subscribes to the Candidates Reply Date of the College Entrance
Examination Board, May 1. The College does not require any applicant to give
notice of her decision on the Committee's offer of admission, scholarships, or
financial aid prior to May 1.

Freshmen High school seniors should apply for admission anytime after
September I of the senior year. Credentials needed to complete the freshman
applicant's file include the completed application form, the high school
transcript, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and/or the American College
Test (ACT), and the guidance counselor's recommendation. The SAT is the
preferred test. Applicants submitting the SAT must submit also three achieve-
ment tests including English composition (with or without essay) and any two

13

Agnes Scott College

others. Achievement tests in mathematics and a foreign language are recom-
mended.

In some cases admission decisions may be made without achievement test
scores, but the achievement test results must be received by spring of the appli-
cant's senior year.

Transfers Transfer students are admitted to the freshman, sophomore,
and junior classes. Transfer students must complete the work of the junior and
senior years at Agnes Scott and must earn a minimum of ninety quarter hours
in this college in order to graduate. Credentials needed to complete the transfer
applicant's file include the completed application form, transcripts of hi:gh
school and college records, a statement of good standing, a copy of her college
catalog, SAT and/or ACT results, and one letter of recommendation from a
college professor who taught the applicant an academic subject.

Readmits Students who have withdrawn from Agnes Scott and wish to
return must submit a current application form accompanied by the appropriate
non-refundable application fee. The application fee for the 1981-82 session is
$15 and will be $25 for the 1982-83 session.

Required supporting documents are transcripts of college work taken since
leaving Agnes Scott and one recommendation from a professor teaching an
academic subject in this more recent work. The Admissions Committee reviews
these files as part of its normal admissions decisions. Students who have not
pursued additional study may complete a shorter application form to be review-
ed by the Dean of the College and the Dean of Students. The College reserves
the right to require an official Application for Admission.

Entrance Examinations

Applicants for admission present either the College Entrance Examination
Board series (Scholastic Aptitude Test and three achievement tests) or the
American College Testing Service (ACT) battery. The SAT is the test preferred
by the Admissions Committee. The SAT and the ACT should be taken in the
spring of the junior year or by December of the senior year. Applicants presen-
ting the ACT need not take the achievement tests.

1. College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) The Admissions
Committee uses the best set of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores
presented by an applicant for admissions purposes.

Achievement tests should be taken by spring of the senior year and
must include English composition (with or without essay) and two other
subjects chosen from two different fields. Achievement tests in
mathematics and a foreign language are recommended.

A student who wishes to be tested in a subject that will not be con-
tinued beyond the eleventh grade should take the test in the late spring of
the junior year. Achievement tests are used for admissions purposes in
cases where the Admissions Committee needs additional test scores and
for placement in advanced level courses.

Information about the CEEB series may be found in the guidance of-
fices of most high schools. Students may write directly for information to
the College Board Admissions Testing Program, Box 592, Princeton,

High School Course Selection

The Admissions Committee recommends a strong high school curriculum in-
cluding a minimum of four academic subjects each year. Recommended courses
include: 4 years of English, 3 years of math (algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry), 2
years of one foreign language, 1 or more years of lab science (biology,
chemistry), 1 or more years of social studies. Skill in English composition, com-
petence in a foreign language, and some understanding of scientific principles
and methods are especially important in preparation for a liberal arts educa-
tion.

Some flexibility is permitted in choice of subjects. Students may be accepted
for admission without the recommended number of courses in a particular
field.

Foreign Students

Admission Foreign student applicants must present evidence of com-
petence in the use of the English language. The application procedure is that
used for other students.

In addition to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), foreign applicants whose
native language is not English should take the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL). Information may be obtained from the local U.S. Office of
Information or by writing to the TOEFL Program, Educational Testing Ser-
vice, Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey 08541. Registration arrangements should
be made at least five weeks in advance of the testing date.

Financial Aid Foreign students who do not wish to apply for financial aid
adhere to the Rolling Admissions procedures explained on page 13.

Students who wish to be considered for the limited amount of financial aid
available to foreign students must submit all admissions and financial aid
documents for receipt by the College on February 1. Recipients of aid must
notify the College of their decisions on enrollment and aid acceptance by May
1. Further information on financial aid for foreign students may be found on
page 24.

Agnes Scott College

Joint Enrollment Plan

The Joint Enrollment Plan recognizes the readiness of selected high school
seniors to begin college work before graduation from high school and assures
simultaneous receipt of a high school diploma and of college credit. Under this
program a high school senior, male or female, may take some courses at the
high school and some at Agnes Scott. These students are unclassified and are
approved for admission to specific courses by the Dean of the College. The can-
didates must submit a high school transcript, a record of SAT, or ACT scores,
and a letter from the high school counselor stating school approval for specific
courses as well as the general recommendation of the school.

Early Admission Plan

Students judged to be ready for college in terms of academic preparation and
overall maturity, after the eleventh grade, may be admitted without the com-
pletion of the twelfth grade and without a high school diploma under the Early
Admission Plan. Such students must have the strong recommendation of their
schools for admission on this basis. Early Admission students are classified as
freshmen and use the normal application procedure. Some high schools may
grant a high school diploma after completion of freshmen courses at Agnes
Scott College. A student considering the Early Admission Plan should consult
with her high school about its policy.

Advanced Placement, Exemption, Advanced Credit

With the approval of the Dean of the College and the departments concern-
ed, entering students may be exempted from certain course requirements or be
placed in advanced sections of freshmen courses or in courses above the
freshman level as the result of acceptable scores in one or more of the following:

1. College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Examination
scores;

2. College Entrance Examination Board Achievement Test scores;

3. Exemption Examinations given by the College in September.
Further information may be found on page 28.

dent's initiative: a transcript of record including a statement of good stan-
ding; a letter from the appropriate dean indicating approval of the visiting stu-
dent's plan and of specific courses to be taken for transfer back to the parent in-
stitution.

Agnes Scott College

Students already in residence pay a $100 room-retaining deposit by April 1.
This non-refundable deposit entitles the student to select a residence hall room
for the next year. All returning students, both resident and commuting, make a
non-refundable enrollment-retaining deposit of $300 by July 1.

Students receiving financial assistance from the College are expected to pay
the full amounts of the room-retaining fee by April 1 and the enrollment-
retaining fee by July 1. Grants and loans are then applied equally against the
three quarterly payments. Any refunds that result from over-payment are made
upon request at the beginning of each quarter.

Special Rates

Quarterly Rates Permission to attend classes for less than the full ac-
ademic year, i.e., by the quarter, must be obtained from the Office of the Dean
of the College. The quarterly rate will be applied to the charges for the entire
academic year.

Quarterly rates are $2,125 for a resident student and $1,550 for a commuting
student. The quarterly rate applies if a student attends less than three quarters
or changes her classification from resident to non-resident student or vice
versa.

The $75 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.

Quarter Hour Rates Unclassified and Return to College students who
take less than a full academic load (12 hours) in a quarter pay tuition at the rate
of $125 per quarter hour. These students are not charged a student activities
fee.

Special Fees

Senior Fee A senior fee of $25 to cover rental of cap, gown, and hood and
the purchase of the diploma is required of all students who expect to graduate
in June. This payment is due August 1 .

Music Fees The fee for private lessons in applied music (including prac-
tice) is $300. This fee applies to all students except senior music majors, and it
covers two thirty-minute lessons per week for the academic year. Payments of
the music fee may be made in full in September or at the beginning of each
quarter. The charge for one thirty-minute lesson weekly is half the regular fee.

In 1981-82 group instruction in harpsichord and voice will be offered for a fee
of $25 per quarter.

Terms

A student may not attend classes or take examinations until accounts have
been satisfactorily adjusted with the Accounting Office. All financial obliga-
tions to the College must be met before a student can be awarded a diploma or

20

Financial Information

before a transcript of record can be issued to another institution.

The College does not make refunds for tuition or room fees if a student 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 sub-
ject 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 catalog
and on the application for admission or re-registration.

Deferred Payments

Many families elect to meet 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 In-
sured Tuition Payment Plan, 53 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 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 services,
a twelve-month Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan is recommend-
ed. Information concerning this plan is sent to parents prior to the opening of
the session. This coverage is required of foreign students.

Financial Aid and Scholarships

Agnes Scott makes every effort to provide financial assistance for students
whose resources are insufficient to meet expenses at this college. In 1980-81 ap-
proximately 49% of the student body received aid from the College in amounts
ranging from $250 to full room, board, tuition, and fees.

An Agnes Scott financial aid award is usually a combination of grant, low-
interest Agnes Scott loan, and the opportunity for campus employment.
Students may choose not to accept the loan or the employment portions of
their package. Grants and loans are applied toward students' accounts. The
loans bear no interest while students are in attendance and are repayable after
withdrawal or graduation. Loan payments may be deferred during full-time at-
tendence at a graduate or professional school. Students are paid for campus
employment by payroll check on a bi-weekly basis.

21

Agnes Scott College

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 cur-
rent financial statements filed each year. Students are expected to be members
in good standing of the college community.

Any student receiving financial aid who withdraws from the College during
the refund period will not receive a refund personally. Instead, money that is
refunded will go back into the various accounts of the programs from which she
received funds. In cases where the student withdraws from the College and has
received cash for non-direct educational expenses, repayment of unused funds
may be necessary.

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

Agnes Scott Awards

Application Procedure Freshmen applicants seeking financial
assistance file a Financial Aid Form (FAF) with the College Scholarship Service
(CSS), P.O. Box 2700, Princeton, New Jersey 08541. The College will accept
also the Family Financial Statement (FFS) which is to be submitted to the
American College Testing Program (ACT), P.O. Box 4005, Iowa City, Iowa
52243, but the FAF is preferred. These forms may be obtained from the high
school guidance office and should be filed between January 1 and February 15
for priority consideration. Prospective students should indicate their interest in
financial assistance on the Agnes Scott application for admission. There is no
institutional application form for financial aid, but students should complete
the FAF Supplement or the FFS Student Data Form which accompanies the
FAF or FFS.

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 at the beginning of the winter quarter.
Transfer applicants may obtain a copy of the FAF from the Agnes Scott admis-
sions office. They should arrange also to have a financial 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 stu-
dent is based on need, which is defined as the difference between the cost of at-
tending Agnes Scott and the family's financial resources. The Agnes Scott
Financial Aid Committee determines from the CSS Financial Aid Form or the
ACT Family Financial Statement the family resources which should be
available to the student for college expenses. Among the factors used in the
analysis are the following: family and student income and assets (including 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 both the student and her parents for the year prior to entrance
are required for verification. These should be submitted to the Financial Aid
Office by May 1. Students are expected also 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.

22

Financial Information

Confidentiality of Awards Since the amount of an award reflects a
family's financial circumstances, the award will be considered a private matter
among the student, her parents, and the Financial Aid Committee. In ac-
cordance with the legislation tided "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 con-
sent.

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 In addition to need-based grants, loans, and cam-
pus jobs, Agnes Scott offers a number of scholarships based on merit. Agne5
Scott Honor Scholars are chosen each year through a national selection process.
Each Honor Scholar receives $2,500 per year for her four-year college career, if
she continues to meet the qualifications of the scholarship. To be eligible for
these scholarships, students must have outstanding high school records, pre-
sent an SAT composite of 1200 to 1600, and show evidence of leadership. All
application materials must be submitted to Agnes Scott by a specified deadline,
usually early to mid-January, and interest in competing for the Agnes Scott
Honor Scholarships must be indicated on the Agnes Scott Application for Ad-
mission. Further information about the Agnes Scott Honor Scholars Program
may be obtained from the Office of Admissions, Agnes Scott College, Decatur,
Georgia 30030.

Agnes Scott offers several four-year scholarships annually through the 'Na-
tional Merit Scholarship Corporation. Recipients are selected from finalists who
have designated Agnes Scott as their college choice and the minimum award is
$500 per year. The Charles A. Dana Scholarship Program totalling $40,000 in
1981-82 will be awarded to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Factors in selec-
tion of the Merit and Dana Scholars are leadership potential and academic pro-
mise and achievement. Financial need is the basis for determining the amount
of each scholarship.

The Nannette Hopkins Scholarships in music are awarded annually to students
planning to major in music on the basis of musical talent and promise. These
renewable scholarships are $1,000. Applications are obtained from the admis-
sions office. Applicants are expected to audition in person or on tape for the
music department before April 1.

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 must be
submitted to the Agnes Scott Financial Aid Committee by June 1 of each year.
The Committee makes its recommendations to the Society on the basis of
academic performance and personal qualifications.

Return to College Students Both part-time and full-time students may
apply for financial assistance from the College. A Financial Aid Form and an
FAF Supplement, which can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office, should
be submitted well in advance of the quarter in which matriculation is intended.
Financial aid decisions on Return to College students are made by the Return
to College Committee where special consideration is given each case. Awards
are typically in the form of grants. In special hardship cases of full-time degree

23

Agnes Scott College

candidates, loans and employment on campus may be offered also. Return to
College students are encouraged to apply for federal and state aid for which
they may be eligible.

Foreign Students A limited amount of financial aid based on need is
available for foreign students. Interested foreign students may obtain both the
CSS Declaration and Certification of Finances and the Financial Aid Application for
Students in Foreign Countries from the Agnes Scott admissions office. Foreign
students must be able to provide at the least their own transportation, vacation
and summer expenses, and health insurance. February 1 is the deadline for
receipt of all admissions and financial aid documents from foreign students in-
terested in aid.

Recipients of aid must notify the College that they intend to enroll and ac-
cept aid by May 1.

Other Sources of Funds

Students interested in financial assistance at Agnes Scott are required to ap-
ply for all federal and state grants which may be available to them and to
answer immediately all inquiries related to these grants. Students are encourag-
ed to investigate the possibility of aid through community agencies, local foun-
dations, corporations, unions, and religious and civic groups. High school
counselors and local libraries or the Agnes Scott Director of Financial Aid
should be consulted for further information.

Federal Programs The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program
(newly named the Pell Grant Program) is a federal student aid program which
provides grants to those with substantial financial need. In order to be con-
sidered for this grant, students should follow all appropriate instructions on the
FAF and 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 par-
ticipating lenders. These loans are guaranteed by a state or private nonprofit
agency or insured by the federal government. No interest is charged the student
while the student is in school. Six months after the student leaves school, in-
terest begins to accrue.

The Parent Loan Program, to become effective January 1, 1981, will enable
parents of dependent undergraduates to borrow funds from lenders at
reasonable interest rates. Interest will begin to accrue sixty days after disburse-
ment.

All inquiries about these loans should be made to the local lender.

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 enrolled for at least twelve quarter hours
are eligible for tuition grants through the Georgia Grant Program for Private
Colleges. These grants, which were $600 per student for the 1980-81 session, are
not based on financial need.

Georgia residents who are full-time students, and who demonstrate substan-
tial financial need, are eligible for Student Incentive Grants (formerly the
Georgia Incentive Scholarships) which range from $150 to $450 per year.

24

Financial Information

There is a common application form for the Georgia programs which must be
filed yearly and is available in the Financial Aid Office. Students applying for
the Student Incentive Grants must file by May 15 in the Financial Aid Office.
Those who wish to apply only for the Georgia Tuition Grant must file by the
tenth day of the first quarter of the term for which they register.

Other states including Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, 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.

Student Responsibilities in Receiving Federal and State
Assistance Students are responsible for knowing and complying with all in-
structions and regulations of the various governmental student assistance pro-
grams. To receive funds from these sources, students must be in "good stan-
ding" and be "making satisfactory progress" in their course of study. For the
purposes of receiving this aid, these terms are defined as the "eligibility of a stu-
dent to continue in her studies at Agnes Scott."

Further Information All types of financial assistance, including others
not listed here, are fully described in the handbook Financing Your Agnes Scott
Education. This booklet may be obtained by writing to the Director of Financial
Aid, Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia 30030.

Agnes Scott College

The Academic Program

The 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 fifty-minute class
periods a week for one quarter carries credit of three quarter hours, and a
course scheduled for three class periods a week for the academic year carries
credit of nine quarter hours. A three-hour laboratory is equivalent to one class
period. Some courses carry four or five quarter hours of credit, indicating four
or five class periods or the equivalent each week.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS

Hours and Quality

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 C or above on every
course accepted for transfer credit.

Residence

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 stu-
dent 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 College by the beginning of the spring quarter of the preceding ses-
sion. Permission may then be granted by the Committee on Academic Stan-
dards on recommendation of the chairman of the major department and the
Dean of the College.

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

26

The Academic Program

Distribution of Studies

For success in any field of education a student should be able to read atten-
tively and critically, to write clearly and analytically, and to use research skills.
Therefore, a specific requirement for all freshmen is a course in English com-
position 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
Western civilization.

A student, unless exempted, will complete the intermediate level of an an-
cient 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:

1. Literature in the language of its composition literature in 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. Anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, sociology. A
minimum of 9 quarter hours in one discipline.

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

The Major

In the spring quarter of the sophomore year each student usually elects a ma-
jor or majors consisting of an approved program 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 quarter hours, exclusive of in-
ternships, and a maximum of seventy-two quarter hours, inclusive of intern-
ships, in one discipline. Any hours in excess of seventy-two must represent
work beyond the one hundred eighty hours required for the degree, unless per-
mission for additional hours has been given for a specific interdepartmental
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, Classical Languages and Literatures, Economics, English,
French, German, Greek, History, Latin, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy,
Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, and Theatre.

Interdepartmental majors are offered in Art History-English Literature,
History-English Literature, Fine Arts, International Relations, and
Mathematics-Physics. Intradepartmental majors are offered in English and
Creative Writing and in Physics- Astronomy.

27

Agnes Scott College

It is possible to design a major which cuts across departmental lines. A stu-
dent who is interested in creating her own major should consult the Dean of
the College who will assign her an adviser. The student and her adviser may
design a major program in keeping with the student's interests. Such a program
must be presented to the Curriculum Committee for approval, usually during
the spring quarter of the student's sophomore year.

EXEMPTION, PLACEMENT, AND CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Some students, because of superior high school preparation and special op-
portunities, may have had the equivalent of college-level work before beginning
the freshman year. An effort is made to see that no student finds college work a
repetition of previous experience. The following instruments are recognized as
appropriate testing devices: Advanced Placement Examination of the College
Entrance Examination Board, Achievement Test of the College Entrance Ex-
amination Board, and exemption examinations prepared by certain depart-
ments at the College. On the basis of scores on these tests, a student may be
awarded college credit, placed in an advanced level course, or given exemption
from a course or distribution requirement.

A student who wishes to receive credit for college-level courses taken in high
school must take the College Board Advanced Placement Examination in May
of her senior year in high school. College credit will be awarded for a grade of 4
or 5 on the following examinations: American History, Biology, Chemistry,
English, European History, French, German, Mathematics (Calculus AB and
Calculus BC), Physics C, Spanish. College credit may be recommended by the
appropriate department for those students who have made a grade of 4 or 5 on
the following examinations: Art, Latin, Music, Physics B. The awarding of
credit in these areas is dependent upon action of the faculty. No credit is award-
ed for a grade of 3 on Advanced Placement Examinations except that credit
may be recommended for Calculus BC with a grade of 3. Nine quarter hours of
credit will be awarded except in the case of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics
where the credit will be eight quarter hours.

Certain students, upon the recommendation of the department concerned,
may be placed in advanced-level courses. Scores on the Achievement Tests of
the College Board and on tests administered at the College are used in conjunc-
tion with other test scores.

With the approval of the department concerned, a student may be exempted
from certain distribution requirements for the degree. Exceptionally high scores
on the Achievement Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board or on
exemption tests prepared by the College form the basis for the exemption.
Every freshman, during the summer prior to her entrance in college, is given
the opportunity to request exemption examinations to be administered after
her arrival at the College. Achievement Test scores submitted as part of admis-
sions credentials may be used also.

OTHER CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

Independent Study

Students with proven ability in a major field may have the opportunity to ex-
plore 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 applica-
tion to her major department. Admission to the program is granted by the
Committee on Independent Study upon the recommendation 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
maximum of ten. A minimum of six quarter hours of Independent Study is re-
quired for graduation With High Honor.

Special Study

Special Study, offered by most academic departments, is designed 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 to five hours of credit. Applications for admission to the
program are submitted to the Curriculum Committee. Ordinarily 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.

Freshman and Sophomore Seminars

Certain academic departments offer special seminars, designated as 190, for
freshmen and sophomores. The courses are limited in enrollment, and a stu-
dent may not elect more than one such course in any quarter. Topics vary from
year to year and are announced each spring prior to Course Selection Week.

These seminars carry one hour of academic credit each quarter. Credit earn-
ed in 190 courses may not be applied toward satisfying distribution re-
quirements for the degree.

Agnes 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 In-
struction. 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.

29

Agnes Scott College

There are two summer study programs in Biology. Desert Biology (1982) is
taught in the western United States. Marine Biology (1981) is to be taught in
coastal areas of the Southeast.

A number of programs exist outside the United States. They are as follows:
Summer Study in Rome in Classical Art and Architecture (1982); Summer
Study in Germany for students of German (1981); Summer Study in England
and Scotland in British history (1983).

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 of-
fered 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 College 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 stu-
dent pursuing an independent program at a British university, credit is award-
ed by the Curriculum Committee upon the recommendation of the depart-
ments concerned.

The Washington Semester

Agnes Scott participates in American University's Washington Semester Pro-
gram. Juniors and seniors admitted to the program spend the fall quarter at
American University in Washington. Students of political science have the op-
portunity to study and observe the federal government in operation. Policy
making as it relates to international and domestic economic policy is studied by
majors in economics. Science students have the opportunity to learn about na-
tional problem areas such as energy, pollution, and health. Several other pro-
grams may be arranged for students in other disciplines. Agnes Scott students
are nominated for the program by their major departments and apply through
the Dean of the College.

Exchange Programs

Agnes Scott College and Mills College, in the San Francisco Bay area,
Oakland, California, have an agreement whereby students enrolled at either
college may spend a quarter, semester, or year at the other college. Participants
in the program remain enrolled in their home college and pay all fees to the
home college. Students interested in the possibility of attending Mills for a

30

The Academic Program

period should consult the Dean of the College. Permission to take part in this
program or in other programs which may be arranged is given by the Commit-
tee on Academic Standards.

Field Experiences (Internships)

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 will be awarded for such established programs as the intern-
ship with the Georgia Legislature and the internship with the Washington
Semester Program. Credit may be authorized by the Curriculum Committee
upon the recommendation of the appropriate department for other field ex-
periences such as the Governor's Intern Program. A student interested in a
field experience for academic credit should contact the chairman of her major
department. Internships carry the course number 450.

Students are urged to take advantage of other beneficial experiences even
though the awarding of academic credit may seem inappropriate.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Teaching

Agnes Scott has a state-approved program for teaching at the elementary
level and in several secondary fields. A new program for certification in elemen-
tary/general music and/or choral music was approved in 1980. A student who
completes any of these programs satisfactorily is eligible for initial Georgia cer-
tification, generally accepted throughout the United States. In the case of a few
states, certain specific courses are required; arrangements can be made to meet
these special requirements as a part of the Agnes Scott degree program.

A student in the professional teacher education program has an opportunity
to observe and to work in a wide variety of school settings. Tutoring op-
portunities in schools are open to students at all levels, including freshmen.

Students interested in teaching should consult the Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Education and the Chairman of the Department of Music, in the case
of students interested in music certification, as early as the beginning of the
freshman year and no later than the spring quarter of the sophomore year.

Dual Degree Programs with the Georgia Institute of Technology

A student may combine three years of liberal arts studies at Agnes Scott with
two years of specialized work at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Upon
completion of this five-year liberal arts/professional program, the student will
be awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree from Agnes Scott and a bachelor's
degree from Georgia Institute of Technology. The Georgia Tech degree may be
in a variety of engineering fields: in information and computer science, in in-
dustrial management, or in management science. With advanced planning, a
few outstanding students will be able to complete a master's degree at Georgia

31

Agnes Scott College

Tech with a minimum of additional time.

Students interested in the 3-2 program should consult the Agnes Scott dual
degree coordinator as early as possible in the freshman year. Requirements in-
clude certain courses in science, mathematics, and economics. 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 re-
quirements for an Agnes Scott departmental major.

Admission to the program at the Georgia Institute of Technology is based on
completion of the requirements stated above and on the recommendation of
the dual degree coordinator at Agnes Scott, currently the chairman of the
mathematics department.

Preparatory Program for Business

For students interested in business careers, the College has selected from its
curriculum a group of courses designed to familiarize them with the skills and
knowledge to facilitate their entrance into business.

The program does not alter requirements for graduation; nor does it con-
stitute a major. Rather, it is designed to serve as an academic bridge from an
undergraduate liberal arts curriculum into business careers.

Students who choose to follow the program will complete nine of the courses
listed below, including work from at least three disciplines and including
Economics 204, 205, and 311. In addition, they will complete Mathematics 101
or Mathematics 120. Their official transcripts will carry the notation that they
have completed the Preparatory Program for Business.

Courses included in the Program:

Economics 204, 205, 303, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 317

English 210

Mathematics 101, 115, 120, 121, 150 or 220, 328

Psychology 316

Philosophy 103

Political Science 102 (or 321, an option for students entering college prior to

1980)
Theatre 107 (or 108, an option for students entering college prior to 1980)

Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC)

Through a special cross-town arrangement, Agnes Scott students may par-
ticipate in the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps and in the Naval
Reserve Officers Training Corps at the Georgia Institute of Technology. A stu-
dent who completes one of these programs will qualify as a commissioned of-
ficer and will be ordered to active duty in the United States Air Force, the
United States Navy, or the United States Marine Corps.

A student may apply to either program at the beginning of her freshman year
or may choose to apply at the end of the sophomore year. While a student is
enrolled in one of these programs, she will attend certain courses at Georgia In-
stitute of Technology.

32

I

The Academic Program

Agnes Scott students are eligible to apply for scholarships under both the Air

Force and the Navy programs. Scholarships cover all educational expenses at

Agnes Scott-
Additional information about either program is available from the respective

ROTC units at the Georgia Institute of Technology or from the Office of the

Dean of the College at Agnes Scott.

PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE AND
PROFESSIONAL STUDY

A liberal arts program with sound education in basic disciplines is considered
the best preparation for most graduate and professional study. 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 pro-
fessional schools as architecture, law, medicine, 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 College 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 College. 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 chemistry and one
year each of biology, physics, and English. Many institutions require
mathematics through calculus and some advise courses in the behavioral
sciences. A student planning a premedical program should consult the Dean of
the College who serves as premedical adviser. The annual bulletin of the
Association of American Medical Colleges is helpful in listing medical school
admission requirements. Arrangements can be made to take the Medical Col-
lege 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, a student must present a strong
undergraduate record in any major of her choice. The Law School Admission
Test is required. Students interested in studying law should consult the Dean of
the College and their major professors. Copies of the Prelaw Handbook are on
file in the office of the Dean.

33

Agnes Scott College

Business and Management

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

Return To College Program

The Return to College Program provides, for women whose education has
been interrupted, the opportunity to work toward the Agnes Scott degree. It is
designed for qualified persons who have not had college work and for those
who have already acquired credits toward the B.A. degree. The program is
available also to those who prefer to pursue a course of study as unclassified
(non-degree) students; these students are permitted to earn a maximum of 36
quarter hours of credit at Agnes Scott.

Admission is possible in the fall, winter, and spring quarters. Requirements
include (1) an application, filed preferably at least a month in advance of the
opening of the quarter; (2) an interview at the college; and (3) a transcript of
record from each school or college previously attended. Inquiries regarding ad-
mission should be directed to the admissions office.

All students enroll in regular college courses, and classified students meet the
same course requirements for the degree as other undergraduates. Students in
this program are not subject, however, to the usual minimum course load re-
quirements nor are they expected to complete work for the degree in the usual
four years. Time limits for completion for the degree are: (a) four years, if initial-
ly classified as a junior; (b) six years, if initially classified as a sophomore, and (c)
eight years, if initially classified as a freshman.

Students who have obtained a college degree may be admitted to the Return
to College Program as unclassified students. Before registering for a second
quarter of work, they must present for approval a statement of a proposed pro-
gram of study to the Assistant Dean of the College, who is special adviser to
students in the Return to College Program.

Requests for exception to any of the above requirements may be directed to
the Committee on Academic Standards and must be approved by the Faculty.

Financial aid is available to Return to College students, whether part-time or
full-time. Information may be obtained from the Assistant Dean of the College
and the Director of Financial Aid.

Academic Regulations

Classification of Students

A classified student is one who has been admitted 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

34

The Academic Program

and a cumulative quality point ratio of at least 0.50.
Juniors: students who have earned at least 84 quarter hours of credit and a

cumulative quality 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 in-
stitution, and (c) high school students on a joint enrollment program.
Unclassified students are permitted to earn a maximum of 36 quarter hours of
credit at Agnes Scott. Requests for exception must be directed to the Commit-
tee on Academic Standards. Unclassified students who wish to become can-
didates 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.

Registration

All students must register for classes on the dates announced in the College
Calendar. A $10 fee is charged for late registration. No student is allowed to
register after the tenth day of the quarter.

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 College 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 pro-
hibited after the tenth day of the quarter.

A course of study which has been approved may be changed only in ac-
cordance 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.

Withdrawal

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

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

35

Agnes Scott College

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.

Auditing

Classified students may audit courses with written permission from the Dean
of the College. 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 in-
dividual 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 examina-
tion that she chooses at any of the times set for examinations.

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
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

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

A student may elect a total often quarter hours of regular course work on a
pass-fail basis during the junior and senior years. Courses taken to meet the
distribution and specific requirements for the degree, regular courses in the stu-
dent's major subject, and certain courses in the teacher education program may
not be elected on a pass-fail basis.

All grades on field experiences (internships) will be recorded as either pass or
fail. This option is in addition to the ten quarter hours of pass-fail work in
regular courses. It also constitutes an exception to the general rule that no work
in the major department may be taken on a pass-fail basis. A student's inten-
tion to elect pass-fail courses must be signified to the Registrar by the tenth day
of the quarter.

36

The Academic Program

Grades (except for courses taken on pass-fail basis) are evaluated by a quality
point system: A = 3 quality points per quarter hour, B = 2, C = 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 re-
quirements 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 on-
ly 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

A student is eligible to graduate With Honor if she attains a cumulative grade
point ratio of 2.40 and has maintained this minimum level of work while
classified as a Junior and Senior (figured on a cumulative basis for all work com-
pleted while so classified). It is understood that in figuring the cumulative basis
for the work while classified as a Junior and Senior, year grades will be used in
the case of year-long courses rather than progress grades as reported by the
quarter. In the case of students on leaves of absence, this will be figured on the
basis of the last six quarters in residence. A student must receive also the
recommendation of her major department.

A student is eligible to graduate With High Honor if she attains a cumulative
grade point ratio of 2.70 and has maintained this minimum level of work while
classified as a Junior and Senior (figured on a cumulative basis for all work com-
pleted while so classified). It is understood that in figuring the cumulative basis
for the work while classifed as a Junior and Senior, year grades will be used in
the case of year-long courses rather then progress grades as reported by the
quarter. In the case of students on leaves of absence, this will be figured on the
basis of the last six quarters in residence. A student must have completed also a
minimum of 6 credit hours of independent study distributed over two quarters
and receive the recommendation of her major department.

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 unsatisfactory 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
will be subject to academic dismissal if she fails to make appropriate class stand-
ing 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 College, subject to confirmation by the Com-
mittee on Academic Standards.

37

Agnes Scott College

Acceleration

A student may receive permission from the Dean of the College and her ma-
jor 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 College Entrance Ex-
amination Board Advanced Placement Examinations; (2) carrying excess
course loads during regular sessions; (3) attending either summer sessions at
other institutions or an Agnes Scott summer program.

Summer School

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

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.

Academic Counseling

Academic counseling is coordinated in the Office of the Dean of the College.
Each new student, prior to her arrival on the campus, is assigned to a faculty
adviser. Where possible, this adviser teaches in the student's area of special in-
terest and works with the student until she declares a major at the end of the
sophomore year. The Class Dean for Freshmen and Sophomores coordinates
this program.

The chairman of her major department becomes a student's academic advise
for the junior and senior years. Supplementary counseling of upperclassmen is
the responsibility of the Assistant Dean.

The Dean and her assistants, members of the Faculty, and the Director of
Career Planning share in advising students and alumnae about plans for
graduate and professional programs.

EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS

Course Numbers

Courses are numbered according to level of difficulty. One hundred-level
courses are intended primarily for freshmen and sophomores; 200-level courses
are intended primarily for sophomores, but in some cases are open to freshmen
by permission; 300'level courses are intended primarily for juniors and seniors,
but in some cases are open to sophomores by permission; 400-level courses are
intended for seniors.

Certain course numbers are used in each department for special programs.
The number 190 is used to designate Freshman and Sophomore Seminars, 410
is assigned to Special Study, and 490 to Independent Study. The number 450 is
used for all internships and field experiences.

Course Notations

Courses which are offered for one quarter only are designated by f, w, or s
(fall, winter, or spring) following the course number. Course numbers followed
by hyphenated letters (for example, f-w) indicate courses extending through
two quarters. Course numbers without letters indicate courses extending
throughout the year. No final grade or credit is given until the entire course is
completed; quarter grades in such courses are progress reports only.

Summer Study Abroad courses are designated by SG, SE, SR (Summer in
Germany, England, Rome) following the course number. A course number
followed by SUS designates Agnes Scott Summer Study courses in the United
States.

Course Credit

The calendar for the academic year consists of three quarters, and the unit of
credit is the quarter hour. Each 50-minute lecture period a week represents
credit of one quarter hour. A course which carries credit of three quarter hours
is scheduled for three lecture periods a week for one quarter. A course which
carries five quarter hours of credit is scheduled for five lecture periods a week
unless indicated. A course which carries credit of nine quarter hours is schedul-
ed for three periods a week for the academic year. Course credits are indicated
in parentheses following the course title.

Laboratories are usually three-hour periods, and a three-hour laboratory per
week is equivalent to one lecture period. For courses with laboratories, the
number of hours lecture and the number of hours laboratory work a week are

39

Agnes Scott College

designated by LEC, LAB. A course which carries credit of four quarter hours
and is scheduled for three lecture periods and one three-hour laboratory per
week is designated by 3 LEC, 1 LAB.

Schedule of Classes

The courses of instruction will meet in accordance with the Schedule of
Classes which is available in the Office of the Registrar prior to Course Selec-
tion Week. Classes are scheduled Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. Mon-

additional appointment to be made

The academic program of the Department of Chemistry, approved by the
American Chemical Society, is designed to give students a thorough grounding
in the principles and applications of modern chemistry as well as extensive
practical experience with research-quality instruments. The curriculum is struc-
tured to serve chemistry majors, majors in chemistry-related disciplines, and
non-science majors.

Students who are planning to major in chemistry should consult with a
member of the department early in their college careers. They should elect, if
possible. Chemistry 101-102-110 and Mathematics 120-121 in the freshman
year and complete Physics 210-211 before the junior year.

Exemption from the introductory Chemistry 101-102 may be considered if a
student has: an Advanced Placement score of 4 or 5; or high school chemistry
and a satisfactory score on the departmental exemption examination; or
previous credit for a college chemistry course at the introductory level. In all
cases, evidence of prior laboratory experience comparable to that gained in
Chemistry 101-102 must be presented.

Students planning for certification by the American Chemical Society must
complete the minimum requirements for a major, as shown below, and the
equivalent of an additional six hours of study or research at the advanced level
in chemistry, physics, or mathematics, as approved by the department. This
additional work must include at least one credit hour of laboratory work in
chemistry. A reading knowledge of a modern foreign language, preferably Ger-
man, is recommended.

The department strongly recommends that all majors complete a second year
of calculus (Mathematics 201) prior to or during the junior year. Majors are en-
couraged also to elect courses in computer programming (Mathematics 150),
statistics and probability (Mathematics 115 or 328), differential equations
(Mathematics 309), and electronics (Physics 343).

The Department of French has as its goals accuracy and fluency in the writ-
ten and spoken language and knowledge and appreciation of the literature and
culture of France.

New students who make a satisfactory score on the exemption examination
may be exempted from the foreign language requirement for graduation. All
new students electing French, depending upon their preparation, will be placed
directly in the appropriate French course or will be asked to take a placement
test.

French 235 plus an additional French literature course of three or more hours
on the 300 level will satisfy the literature requirement for graduation. French
235 is the prerequisite for all French courses on the 300 level.

program. Interested students should consult the department chairman early in
their sophomore year.

with students desirous of speaking French in the dormitory. To be eligible for
residence on the French Hall, students must be enrolled in a French course on
or above the intermediate level. Application for residency should be made to
the Office of the Dean of Students. "La Table Frangaise" in the dining hall
welcomes students on all levels of French proficiency. The French Club in-
volves students in programs of plays, songs, poetry, and slides. The language

The Department of Music provides a curriculum designed to prepare its ma-
jors for graduate study and the professional music world. It also seeks to meet
the needs of non-majors through a variety of courses in music appreciation and
applied music. The guiding philosophy in all instruction is that music is a
humanistic, not a mechanistic discipline, and is a central part of a true liberal
arts education.

A student interested in teaching music on the elementary or secondary level
in the public schools is invited to consider the Teacher Certification Program
in Music. This program, offered in conjunction with the Department of Educa-
tion, prepares a student to teach elementary/general music and/or choral
music and leads to a T-4 certificate to teach in the public schools of Georgia.

A student interested in music, art, and theatre is invited to consider the in-
terdepartmental major in Fine Arts.

Philosophy

Associate Professors: David P. Behan

Richard D. Parry' (Chairman)

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, 209; the latter courses are best taken in historical sequence.

The requirements for a major program in philosophy embody two goals.
First, the student will learn, through close work with original sources, the ideas
of the major figures in philosophy, ancient through contemporary. Second, the
student will learn and practice techniques of careful analysis and constructive
reasoning which are the heart of philosophy as a living discipline.

Physical Education

It is the purpose of the Department of Physical Education 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 College.

During the fall quarter, freshmen must elect one of the following activities:
field hockey, dance, or swimming.

Students may not receive physical education credit for more than two
quarters of the same activity at the same level.

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

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

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

The training acquired through concentration in Physics or Physics-
Astronomy provides a solid, technical foundation for later graduate study and
professional work in physics, astronomy, and the applied fields of engineering
and geophysics. Students who wish to major in physics are encouraged, but not
required, to take Physics 210-21 1 during their freshman year.

Students considering the Astronomy-Physics major should elect the in-
troductory astronomy sequence (Astromony 121, 122, 123) and Mathematics
120-121 during their freshman year. Physics 210-211 is normally taken during
the sophomore year, but the well-prepared student is encouraged to enroll in
this course during her freshman year.

Introductory astronomy courses are open to both science and non-science
majors and incorporate the use of the Bradley Observatory's 30-inch Beck
telescope. Most astronomy courses require some observational activities in the
Bradley Observatory.

Political Science

politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political theory. A
major may concentrate in any of these areas. Introductory courses correspond
to these subfields, allowing a prospective major to choose her initial courses ac-
cording to her primary interests. The deparment does require, however, that
majors take courses in at least three subfields. Majors are required to undertake
also an individual research project to ensure experience in political science
research methods. This requirement may be fulfilled either through the
seminar in research methodology or a program of independent study. An op-
tional senior seminar permits an intensive exploration of topics selected an-
nually to reflect the interests of the participants. Majors are urged to consider
internships as a means of complementing their classroom studies with practical
field experience.

A student interested in a study relating political science, history, and
economics is invited to consider the interdepartmental major in International
Relations.

Theatre

Professor: Jack T. Brooking (Chairman)
Assistant Professor: John W. Toth

Instructor: Dudley W. Sanders

The goal of the Department of Theatre is to establish high standards of
creativity and appreciation in order to enhance the theatre experience as a facet
of the liberal arts tradition. This is accomplished through a program which in-
terrelates theory, history, and practice. With the Winter Theatre as the
laboratory, all aspects of the theatre arts may be studied in close association
with the creative process of the produced play.

Students who are planning to major in theatre should consult with the chair-
man of the theatre department early in their college careers. It would be ad-
vantageous for prospective majors to complete Theatre 100, 104, 106, and 108
as soon as possible since they form a working basis for the more advanced
courses. The theatre major must fulfill a core of basic courses which stresses the
interrelationship of three key areas: introduction and history, creative explora-
tion and experience, and the mastery of techniques.

A student interested in theatre, art, and music is invited to consider the in-
terdepartmental major in Fine Arts.

Agnes Scott College

Alumnae Association 1980-1981

Organized in 1895, the Alumnae Association of Agnes Scott College has as its pur-
pose the furtherance of the intellectual, spiritual, and financial aims of the College. All
former students who earned any academic credit while in college are members of the
Association. Its work is done under the authority of an Executive Board elected by the
membership and composed of officers; committee chairmen; and, ex officio, the direc-
tor of alumnae affairs, the associate director, and the assistant to the director.

The Anna Young Alumnae House is operated as the international headquarters of
the Alumnae Association and as the guest house for the College. The Association
publishes The Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly, conducts the alumnae division of the
Agnes Scott Fund, maintains files of information on more than 9,000 alumnae, and
keeps alumnae aware of the nature of the College today.

Volunteer committees work with alumnae clubs and individuals throughout the
United States and various other countries, corresponding with class officers, offering
programs of continuing education for alumnae, arranging special interest tours, plan-
ning class reunions, suggesting fund-raising projects, acting as alumnae admissions
representatives for the College, and presenting career conferences for students and
special events for the College or alumnae groups. The Alumnae Association seeks to
make alumnae opinions available to the College and to make Agnes Scott alumnae an
active force in education.
