General Information I 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. 7 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 professional school catalogs and directories are available. Beginning in her freshman year, each student is encouraged to complement 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- sively renovated during the 1978-79 session. The building contains ad- ministrative and faculty offices, classrooms, a language laboratory, audio-visual areas, and seminar rooms. The McCain Library, erected in 1936 and named in honor of the late President Emeritus James Ross McCain, was completely renovated in 1975-77.

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, 14 Admission New Jersey 08541.

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. Interviews and Overnight Visits Campus interviews are recommended for all high school juniors and seniors and transfer students interested in the College.

Resident Non- resident Students Sti idents $ 100 $ - 300 300 1,900 1,375 1,900 1,375 1,875 1,325 .6,075 1,375 19 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. 25 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. 28 The Academic Program 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. 38 The Academic Program Courses of Instruction 198M982 EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS Course Numbers Courses are numbered according to level of difficulty.

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. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR Two courses in the history of philosphy: 206 and 209 (or 207-208) One course in ethics: 230 One course in logic: 103 or 317 One course in the following: 305, 308, 309, 310,31 5, (307) Three courses from the following: 320, 323, 325, 339, 340, 341, (324) 102s.

Darling' Instructor: Jo Ann Messick 'On leave W81-82 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. Dual Sports: Badminton, fencing, tennis. Individual Sports: Archery, camping, fundamentals, golf, gymnastics and tumbling. Riding (huntseat equitation, Olympic style) is taught at the Vogt Riding Academy. Transportation is provided. Team Sports: Basketball, field hockey, softball, volleyball. Elementary Games, a methods course in physical education for elementary grade children (winter quarter, MWF 12:10), is required for elementary educa- tion certification. Introduction to the Dance (Theatre 206), a course in the historical background of the dance, is offered jointly by the Departments of Physical Education and Theatre. Clothing Clothing of uniform design for physical education is required of all entering students. Information regarding the purchase of clothing is sent during the summer. The College furnishes dance leotards, swim suits, and towels. Junior transfer students who have had two years of physical education need not order suits before arriving at college. Agnes Scott College Studio Dance Theatre I The objective of Studio Dance Theatre is to acquire a broad understanding of the dance through the study of dance elements: technique, composition, and improvisation. A Children's Show is performed in the winter quarter as well as a major concert in the spring. Admission to Studio Dance Theatre is by audi- tions held in the fall and winter quarters. Dolphin Club The purpose of Dolphin Club is to encourage and develop the art of syn- chronized swimming. Each year the club presents a water show during the winter quarter. Tryouts for membership are held in the fall and spring. Intramural Sports The Athletic Association, with assistance from the physical education department, sponsors tournaments and intramural games. Fall activities in- clude field hockey and tennis. During the winter quarter, badminton tour- naments and basketball games are scheduled. In the spring, a swimming meet, Softball and volleyball games, tennis, archery, and golf are sponsored. Intercollegiate Sports The College, a member of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, provides intercollegiate competition in certain activities. Tennis: In the fall, practice matches are scheduled with area colleges and universities. During the spring quarter, competition in tennis is scheduled with other Division III colleges and universities. Six singles players and three doubles teams compete in regular season matches. The season is finalized with participation in the annual G.A.I.A.W. State Tennis Tournament, with the opportunity to advance to the regional and national tournaments. Field Hockey: Games in field hockey are scheduled with other institutions during the fall quarter. Cross Country: Run- ners compete in cross country events in the area throughout the year. A physical examination is required for participation in intercollegiate sports. Open Hours During the year certain hours are set aside each week when students may swim and play badminton and tennis. The facilities of the department are available for student use when not otherwise scheduled for instructional or organized intramural and intercollegiate activities. Attention of students is directed to regulations posted in the physical education building concerning the care and use of facilities. 90 Physics &L Astronomy Physics and Astronomy Assistant Professors: Arthur L. Bowling, Jr. (Chairman) Robert S. Hyde 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.

The Department Political Science Associate Professor: Augustus B. Cochran, III (Chairman) Assistant Professor: Steven A. Haworth The political science curriculum offers courses in four subfields: American 94 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.

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.

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. 138 Index Index Academic dismissal, 35 honors, 9, 37 probation, 37 program, 26, 38 regulations, 34-38 Acceleration, 38 Administration and Staff, 124-126 Admission application for, 13-14 Committee, 13 early, 16 entrance examinations, 14 foreign students, 15, 24 interviews, 16 joint enrollment, 16 notification of, 1 3 qualifications, 13 readmits, 14 Return to College Students, 17, 34 transient students, 17 unclassified students, 35, 133 Advanced credit, 16,28, 38 placement, 16, 38 Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps, AFROTC, 32 Alumnae admissions representatives, 18 Association, 138 American Chemical Society, 50 American College Testing program (ACT), 14 Anthropology courses, 102 Art collections, 1 1 courses, 40 interdepartmental majors.
