Agnes Scott College

Agnes Scott College has been dedicated,
throughout its distinguished history, to
the education of young luomen so that
they may live to their fullest potential.
The College has always required intellec-
tual diligence of its students as they learn
about thejnselves, their history, cultures
past and present, the natural world,
societies and languages, the arts and
iterature. Agnes Scott's contemporary liberal arts curriculum,
planned with women in mind and taught with concern for
academic excellence and development of the human spirit, is
the best possible preparation for meaningful involvement in
life-long pursuits, whether paid employment, family respon-
sibilities, or church and community service.

Students privileged to attend women's colleges enjoy the
traditional advantages of full opportunity for campus leader-
ship and affirmation of their abilities as women. They also
profit from a new awareness of and preparation for the wider
range of possibilities open to women who will live the greater
part of their lives in the twenty-first century. Although most
Agnes Scott students are of conventional college age, increasing
numbers of women who bring significant life experience to
their formal studies are choosing the College as the ideal place
to combine practical knowledge with liberal learning.

Agnes Scott's commitment to the Christian world view pro-
vides a satisfying perspective from which to study all aspects
of life freely and openly and gives a sense of wholeness and
meaning in a sometimes confusing and chaotic modern en-
vironment. The College is dedicated to offering the best of the
old and the new in a spirit of friendship and achievement.
When a woman begins her study at this institution, she be-
comes a member of an ongoing community which both sustains
her and has a claim on her. The goals of the College are
realized when its graduates, equipped intellectually, physically,
and spiritually, enrich and improve the society in which they live.

The College

THE COLLEGE

HISTORY

Agnes Scott had its beginnings in
the faith and vision of a small
group of Presbyterians in Decatur,
Georgia. The organizing of a Chris-
tian school was undertaken in July
of 1889, and, under the influence of
the Reverend Frank Henry Gaines,
minister of the Decatur Presby-
terian 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 sup-
port, 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 ac-
credited 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 develop-
ment 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 institu-
tion governed by a self-perpetuating
Board of Trustees. Its academic pro-
gram has been based on a firm
adherence to the traditional liberal
arts disciplines supplemented by
academic and extracurricular op-
portunities designed to meet the
changing needs of women in our
society.

Agnes Scott College

From modest beginnings, the per-
manent assets of the College have
grown to almost $60,000,000 of
which some $40,000,000 is in en-
dowment. From a single house on a
small lot Agnes Scott has expanded
into twenty buildings on some one
hundred acres. Since its founding
in 1889, it has been served by five
presidents: Frank Henry Gaines
(1889-1923), James Ross McCain
(1923-1951), Wallace McPherson
Alston (1951-1973), Marvin Banks
Perry, Jr. (1973-1982), and Ruth A.
Schmidt (1982- ).

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 prac-

tice of the Christian religion."

In a rapidly changing world of in-
creasing mechanization and com-
plexity, 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 has been elaborated
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 creative
achievement in all fields;

4. to encourage the student to
find for herself a spiritual com-
mitment and a set of values
which will give vitality, mean-
ing, 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 com-
munity and beyond.

The College

STUDENT LIFE

THE HONOR SYSTEM

The Honor System is the corner-
stone 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 exams, unproctored
quizzes, and open rooms are among
the benefits enjoyed by students.
Each student upon entrance agrees
to undertake to live by the Honor
System and to uphold the stan-
dards 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.

RESIDENCE
AND RESOURCES

The life of the College is influenced
by the fact that students live and
work in a small residential com-

munity. 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
regulations governing the college
community are clearly set forth in a
Student Handbook 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, mattresses and pillows,
dressers, chairs, study tables, stu-
dent 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. Stu-
dents who wish to change from
resident to non-resident status or
non-resident to resident status must
obtrain permission from the Dean
of Students.

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

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 matters and social and ex-

Agnes Scott College

tracurricular 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 Win-
ship 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.

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 ai-e required. Resident
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 concern-
ing emergency health problems for
any student. The parent is expected
to sign the forms necessary for this
right. Students are financially
responsible for any care received at
local hospitals or emergency rooms.
Students should have insurance
identification cards when consulting
with outside health agencies.
CAREER PLANNING
The Office of Career Planning of-
fers undergraduates and alumnae a

comprehensive program, the
primary goals of which are an ex-
panded 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 counsel-
ing, conferences, and workshops on
such topics as specific career fields,
skills assessment, decision making,
job hunting, resume writing, and
interviewing techniques.-

A major component of the career
planning program is experiential
learning, with several options for
" off-campus experiences offered each
year. Through the Shadow Pro-
gram, students spend an afternoon
or longer during the academic year
talking with sponsors who work in
career fields of interest to the stu-
dent. By participating in the Extern
Program, students themselves have
a greater opportunity to perform
some aspect of the job as they
spend a concentrated five-day.
period during a school vacation
with sponsors and their colleagues.
Continually expanding internship
opportunities are an integral part of
the program.

Each student who seeks counsel-
ing has access both to self-assess-
ment aids and vocational testing, as
well as to an alumnae advisory net-
work that provides career advisers
and role models. A number of pro-
spective employers and graduate
schools send recruiters to the cam-
pus each year. Full-time, summer,
and part-time job referrals are pro-
vided upon request. A permanent
credentials service is provided for
alumnae'.

A Career Resource Room con-

The College

tains books and pamphlets about
traditional and non-traditional
careers, lifestyles, the status of
women in the work world, occupa-
tional 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 com-
plement her academic work and ex-
tracurricular activities by par-
ticipating 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.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

~ ORGANIZATION
AND PURPOSE

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 Government Associa-
tion'. Such experiences are a part of
the broader education offered at
Agnes Scott. Students have an ac-
tive role in shaping the policies and
regulations of the College. The
president of Student Government,
the chair of Honor Court, and the
chair of Interdormitory Council are
full voting members of the Ad-
ministrative Committee of the Col-
lege in all student-oriented matters.
The activities of the students are
directed through elected members
of Representative Council, Honor
Court, Interdormitory Council, and
Dormitory Councils. Functioning
closely with Student Government is
the Board of Student Activities,
which coordinates the programs of
all student organizations including

Agnes Scott College

Arts Council, Athletic Association,
Christian Association, and Social
Council. These groups are responsi-
ble for correlating campus activities
with the needs of the college com-
munity.

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 Lec-
ture Committee, the College brings
to the campus both lecturers and
visiting scholars in various fields
and distinguished personalities from
the performing arts. Language clubs
Spanish, French, and German
offer opportunities to converse in
the language and increase knowl-
edge 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 coor-
dinating body for stimulating
creative expression and participa-
tion 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 through-
out the year. Three major produc-
tions are given each year by
Blackfriars, the college drama
group.

The Athletic Association en-
courages constructive leisure pur-

suits by offering a variety of athletic
activities in individual and team
sports. The Dolphin Club, formed
in 1935, develops the art of syn-
chronized swimming. Intercollegiate
participation is sponsored in field
hockey and tennis.

Other groups which meet special
needs of the students are Orienta-
tion Council, concerned with ac-
tivities of new students during the
first weeks of school; Social Coun-
cil; Commuting Student Council,
which aids these students in par-
ticipating fully in campus activities;
Students for Black Awareness;
Chimo, the club for international
students; the Spirit Committee; and
Working for Awareness.

. CONFIDENTIALTY OF
STUDENT RECORDS
The Family Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974 (commonly called the
Buckley Amendment) is designed to
protect the privacy of education
records, to establish the rights of
students to inspect and review their
records, and to provide a means of
correcting inaccurate and mis-
leading 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 Col-
lege at its discretion. Unless a stu-
dent 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 infor-
mation will be released for use
within the college community and
in the college directory.

Transcripts of academic records
and statements of academic status

The College

are released to third parties only
with the written authorization of
the student. The parents of a
dependent student have the right of
access to the education record.

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

THE CAMPUS

Agnes Scott's wooded, hundred-
acre campus is ideally situated in
Decatur, a small city just fifteen
minutes by rapid transit from the
heart of downtown Atlanta. The
College's twenty buildings range in
architectural diversity from Vic-
torian Agnes Scott Hall built in
1891 to modern Gothic Dana Fine
Arts Building designed in 1965 by
renowned architect John Portman.

BUTTRICK HALL, named in
honor of a former president of the
General Education Board of New

York, is the administration building
and primary classroom building for
the humanities and social sciences.
Extensively renovated in 1979, this
four-story building houses a
language laboratory, audio-visual
areas, and seminar rooms as well as
classrooms and administrative and
faculty offices.

McCAIN LIBRARY, named in
honor of the College's second presi-
dent, James Ross McCain, offers
seven floors of open stacks and a
variety of reading and study areas
including a music-listening section.
The Archives and the Special Col-
lections rooms store such treasures
as one of the five largest Robert
Frost Collections in the United
States. Library holdings include
over 169,000 volumes as well as
16,000 items of audio-visual
material recordings, microfilms,
movies, and tapes. Some 750 cur-
rent periodicals are available.

The JOHN BULOW CAMP-
BELL SCIENCE HALL serves the
Departments of Biology, Chemistry,
Physics-Astronomy, and
Psychology. Built in 1952 and
named in honor of a former trustee
of the College, Campbell Hall was
completely renovated and re-
equipped in 1982. New facilities in-
clude a field laboratory, a
biochemical laboratory equipped for
radiation detection, and a chemical
instrumentation area. Other facili-
ties include expanded and updated
computer facilities, departmental
libraries and laboratories, and a
greenhouse.

BRADLEY OBSERVATORY,
which attracts Atlanta-area au-
diences for frequent public pro-
grams, is the teaching and
laboratory facility for the College's
astronomy program. The building,
given by the W. D. and Sarah H.

Agnes Scott College

Bradley Foundation, houses a 30-
inch Beck Telescope, a planetarium,
classrooms, laboratories, a dark
room, and an optical shop.

The CHARLES A. DANA FINE
ARTS BUILDING, named for the
late nationally-known philan-
thropist, is the teaching and per-
forming facility for the Departments
of Art and Theatre. Special features
include a printmaking laboratory",
the Dalton Galleries, an outdoor
sculpture court and stage, free-
standing balcony studios, and a
three-quarter round theatre with a
thrust-stage. The Dalton Galleries
display works by local, regional,
and national artists as well- as the
College's five permanent collections
of nineteenth- and twentieth-
century paintings and contem-
porary sculpture and ceramics.

PRESSER HALL bears the name
of Theodore Presser, Philadelphia
music publisher. Housing the
Department of Music, Presser Hall
has facilities ranging from sound-
proof studios and practice 'rooms to
the Gaines Chapel performance
hall which seats nine hundred per-
sons. Gaines Chapel is the site of
guest performances by such
distinguished groups as the
Guarneri String Quartet and the
National Shakespeare Company.
Built into Gaines Chapel is a 2,500-
pipe electro-pneumatic Austin
organ. A mechanical Schlicker
organ is located in a smaller
auditorium, Maclean, which is used
for student recitals and lectures by
visiting scholars.

BUCHER SCOTT GYMNA-
SIUM, named for a former trustee
of the College, is the center of
curricular, intramural, and inter-

collegiate athletics. Located here are
basketball and badminton courts, a
heated swimming pool, and
physical education staff offices. Ad-
jacent to the gymnasium are five
all-weather Laykold tennis courts,
an amphitheatre, and a playing
field for hockey, Softball, archery,
and other field sports.

The MURPHEY CANDLER
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
BUILDING, or "The Hub," has a
snack bar and is often the scene of
campus parties and informal gather-
ings of faculty and students.

Named in honor of its principal
donor, the LETITIA PATE
EVANS DINING HALL with its
vaulted ceiling and chandeliers has
been the scene of Renaissance feasts
and graduation receptions. The
College bookstore and post office
are located on the ground floor.

The six dormitories, which are all
located on the campus, range in ar-
chitectural style from Victorian-era
Agnes Scott Hall, the original col-
lege building, to modern Winship
Hall built in the 1960's.

Other buildings on the campus
are the President's home and the
ANNA YOUNG ALUMNAE
HOUSE which provides, by reser-
vation, overnight paid accommoda-
tions for visiting alumnae, parents,
and friends of the College. The
FRANCES WINSHIP WALTERS
INFIRMARY houses the Health
Center and is named in honor of
the donor, an alumna and trustee.

THE UNIVERSITY

CENTER IN GEORGIA,

INCORPORATED

Agnes Scott College is one of the
eleven Atlanta-area institutions of

TheCc

higher education composing the
University Center in Georgia, In-
corporated. The other institutions
in the group are the Atlanta Col-
lege of Art, the Atlanta University
Center, Columbia Theological
Seminary, Emory University, the
Georgia Institute of Technology,
Georgia State University, Kennesaw
College, Oglethorpe University,
Southern Technical Institute, and
the University of Georgia.

These colleges and universities
share facilities, resources, and ac-
tivities. Plans are being formulated
to link the member institutions by
telecommunication facilities. Chief
areas of cooperation in academic
programs are in library services, .
distinguished visiting scholars pro-
grams, interdepartmental con-
ferences, and faculty research.

The first coordinate service
developed by the University Center
was the Union Catalog, a complete
list of the holdings of more than
thirty libraries in the Atlanta-
Athens area. In 1982, the project to
microfiche the Union Catalog was
completed, and a carousel contain-
ing 11.5 million items was provided
to each member library. New ac-
quisitions will be added on com-
puter service networks. An In-
terlibrary Loan Truck Service
operates on a five-day weekly basis
visiting each member campus at
least once a day.

In 1982 the Trustees approved a
plan for telecommunications linkage
of the eleven institutions. This
linkage will provide an opportunity
for sharing academic programs and
cooperative research.

mission Plan. Such students must
have the strong recommendation ol
their schools for admission on this
basis. Early Admission students are
classified as freshmen and use the

sachusetts 02108. Deferred pay-
ments 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 e.xpenses not provided by
the college health services, a twelve-
month Student Accident and Sick-
ness Insurance Plan is recommend-
ed. Information concerning this
plan is sent to parents prior to the
opening of the session. This cover-
age is required of international
students.

FINANCIAL AID AND
SCHOLARSHIPS

Agnes Scott makes every effort to
provide financial assistance for
students whose resources are insuffi-
cient to meet expenses at this col-
lege. In 1982-83 approximately 49%
of the student body received aid

Agnes Scott College

from the College in amounts rang-
ing from $250 to full room, board,
tuition, and fees.

An Agnes Scott financial aid
award is usually a combination of
grant, low-interest loan, and the
opportunity for campus employ-
ment. Students may choose not to
accept the loan or the employment
portions of their package. Grants
and loans are applied toward
students' accounts. The student
pays no interest while she is in at-
tendance at Agnes Scott College,
and the loans are repayable after
withdrawal or graduation. Students
are paid for campus employment by
payroll check on a bi-weekly basis.

Financial aid awards are made for
one year, but they are renewable
on evidence of continued financial
need as indicated by the completion
of an FAF each year. Students are
expected to be members in good
standing of the college community.

Any student receiving financial
aid who withdraws from the Col-
lege during the refund period will
not receive a refund personally. In-
stead, 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, repay-
ment of unused funds may be
necessary.

AGNES SCOTT AWARDS

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Freshmen applicants seeking finan-
cial assistance file a Financial Aid
Form (FAF) with the College
Scholarship Service (CSS) in
Princeton, New Jersey. These forms
may be obtained from the high

school guidance office and should
be filed between January 1 and
February 15 for priority considera-
tion. Prospective students should
indicate their interest in financial
assistance on the Agnes Scott ap-
plication for admission. There is no
institutional application form for
financial aid.

Presently enrolled students seek-
ing 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 ap-
plicants may obtain a copy of the
FAF from the Agnes Scott admis-
sions office. They should arrange
also to have a financial aid tran-
script from all institutions they
have previously attended sent to
the Agnes Scott Director of Finan-
cial Aid.

DETERMINATION OF AWARDS
The amount of financial aid
granted to a student is based on
need, which is defined as the dif-
ference between the cost of attend-
ing Agnes Scott and the family's
financial resources. The Agnes
Scott Financial Aid Committee
determines from the CSS Financial
Aid Form 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 retire-
ment allowances, number of de-
pendents, and number of children
in college. Signed copies of the
federal income tax return for both
the student and her parents are re-
quired by the Office of Financial

Financial Information

Aid for the calendar year prior to
each academic year for which the
student requests aid. These should
be submitted to the financial aid of-
fice by May 1. Students are re-
quired 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.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF

AWARDS

Since the amount of an award
reflects a family's financial cir-
cumstances, the award will be con-
sidered a private matter among the
student, her parents, and the Fi-
nancial Aid Committee. In ac-
cordance with the legislation titled
"The Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974," Agnes
Scott College will not release this
information to others without the
student's written consent.

NOTIFICATION OF AWARDS '

New students are notified of their
financial aid awards shortly after
they have been accepted for admis-
sion, provided their aid applications
are complete.

SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
In addition to need-based grants,
loans, and campus jobs, Agnes
Scott offers a number of scholar-
ships based on merit. Agnes Scott
Honor Scholars are chosen each year

OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS

Students interested in financial
assistance at Agnes Scott are re-
quired to apply for all federal and
state grants which may be available
to them and to answer immediately
all inquiries related to these grants.
Students are encouraged to in-
vestigate the possibility of aid
through community agencies, local
foundations, 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

Federal grant funds are provided
through two graftt programs. The
Pell Grant Program makes need-
based awards based on information
provided on the Financial Aid
Form (FAF). These grants are for a
maximum of $1,800. Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants
are available also for Agnes Scott
students and range from $200 to
$2,000. Completing the FAF is all
that is necessary to apply for both
of these programs.

The Guaranteed Student Loan
Program (GSLP) enables students to
borrow directly from banks, credit
unions, savings and loan associa- 1
tions, and other participating
lenders. These low-interest loans are
guaranteed by a state agency or in-
sured by the federal government. ,
Repayment of a Guaranteed Stu- '
dent Loan begins six months after a
student graduates, withdraws, or is
enrolled on less than a half-time ,
basis. !

The federal Parent Loans for Un- )
dergraduate Students (PLUS) assist |
independent students as well as the
parents, of dependent students.

Financial Information

Under this program, interest ac-
crues at the rate of 12% and repay-
ment begins sixty days after
disbursement. This interest rate of
12% can fluctuate depending upon
the bond equivalent rates of 91-day
Treasury bills.

Applications for both federal loan
programs may be obtained from
participating lenders in your area.
Inquiries about the loans may also
be addressed to the financial aid
office.

PARENT LOAN PLAN

The Agnes Scott Parent Loan Plan
is funded and operated by Agnes
Scott College for families in the
$30,000 to $70,000 income range.
Loans range from $1,000 to $5,000
at a lower than usual interest rate.
Repayment is made monthly over
an extended period of time.

STATE GRANTS

Georgia residents who are classified
as degree candidates, who were
legal residents of Georgia for the
twelve months immediately preced-
ing enrollment, and who are en-
rolled for at least twelve quarter
hours are eligible for tuition grants
through the Georgia Grant Pro-
gram for Private Colleges. The
Georgia Tuition Equalization
Grants, which were $700 per stu-
dent for the 1982-83 session, are
not based on financial need.
Georgia residents who are full-time
students, and who demonstrate
substantial financial need, are eligi-
ble also for Student Incentive
Grants which range from $150 to
$450 per year. There is a common
application form for the Georgia
programs which must be filed yearly

and is available in high school
guidance offices and the Agnes
Scott financial aid office.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES IN
RECEIVING FEDERAL AND
STATE ASSISTANCE
Students are responsible for know-
ing and complying with all instruc-
tions and regulations of the various
governmental student assistance
programs. All federal programs
must be applied for yearly.

To receive funds from these
sources, students must be in "good
standing" and be "making satisfac-
tory progress" in their course of
study. To continue to receive fed-
erally-funded financial aid a student
must be making satisfactory prog-
ress by passing two-thirds of the
work attempted during a particular
academic session with at least a
0.50 cumulative quality point ratio
at the end of the session. The
Financial Aid Committee has the
authority to make exceptions to the
satisfactory progress rule in a case
of special circumstances. A student
who is readmitted after an absence
from the College must complete ap-
propriate forms necessary for apply-
ing for institutional, state, and
federal funds.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Additional information on financ-
ing an Agnes Scott education is
found in the Financial Aid
Brochure which is mailed to all pro-
spective students. Current students
are apprised of this information
through the student newspaper
or other means of campus
communication.

Agnes Scott College

The Academic Program

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 cur-
riculum 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 crec^it
hours required for the B.A. d"gree
is one hundred and eighty, usu:- i-
ly earned in four years (twelve
quarters). Minimum qualitative
requirements for the degree are a
cumulative 1.00 quality point ratU'
(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 cir-
cumstances, a student who has
completed three years at Agnes
Scott, or two years including one at
the upper -division level, may take
the senior year at another institu-
tion. 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 session.
Permission may then be granted by
the Committee on Academic Stan-
dards on recommendation of the
chair of the major department and
the Dean of the College.

Agnes Scott College

to College program comply with
degree requirements according to
the following maximum time limits:
(a) four years, if initially classified
as a junior; (b) six years, if initially
classified as a 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.

DISTRIBUTION OF STUDIES
For success in any field of educa-
tion a student should be able to
read attentively and critically, to
write clearly and analytically, and
to use research skills. Therefore,
a specific requirement for all

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 ancient or a modern foreign
language in order to gain some
knowledge of another civilization
through its own language and
literature.

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

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

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

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 internships, and a maximum of
seventy-two quarter hours, inclusive
of internships, in one discipline.
Any hours in excess of seventy-two
must represent work beyond the
one hundred eighty hours required
for the degree, unless permission for
additional hours has been given for
a specific interdepartmental major.

The major program must be
approved by the department
chair.

The Academic Program

following disciplines: Art, Bible
and Religion, Biology, Chemistry,
Economics, English, French, Ger-
man, Greek, History, Latin,
Mathematics, Music, Philosophy,
Physics, Political Science,
Psychology, Sociology, Spanish,
and Theatre.

Interdisciplinary majors are
offered in Art History-English

Classical Languages and Litera-
tures, Classical Studies, English
Literature-Creative Writing, Fine
Arts, History-English Literature, In-
ternational Relations, Mathematics-
Physics, Physics-Astronomy, and
Sociology-Anthropology.

It is possible to design a major
which cuts across disciplinary lines.
A student who is interested in
creating her own major should con-
sult the Dean of the College who
will assign her an adviser. The stu-
dent and her adviser may design a
major program in keeping with the
student's interests. Such a program
must be presented to the Cur-
riculum 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
opportunities, 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 repeti-
tion of previous experience. The
following instruments are recog-
nized as appropriate testing devices:
Advanced Placement Examination
of the College Entrance Examina-
tion Board, Achievement Test of

the College Entrance Examination
Board, and exemption examinations
prepared by certain departments 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 ex-
emption from a course or distribu-
tion requirement.

A student who wishes to receive
credit for college-level courses taken
in high school must take the Col-
lege Board Advanced Placement Ex-
amination in May of her junior or
senior year in high school. College
credit will be awarded for a grade
of 4 or 5 on the following examina-
tions: American History, Art,
Biology, Chemistry, English, Euro-
pean History, French, German,
Latin, Mathematics (Calculus AB
and Calculus BC), Music, Physics
C, Spanish. 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. College credit
may be recommended by the ap-
propriate department for those
students who have made a grade
of 4 or 5 on Physics B and for
students who have made a grade
of 3 on Calculus BC. The amount
of credit is dependent upon the
departmental recommendation.

Certain students, upon the
recommendation of the depart-
ment concerned, may be placed in
advanced-level courses. Scores on
the Achievement Tests of the
College Board and on tests ad-
ministered at the College are used
in conjunction with other test
scores.

With the approval of the depart-
ment concerned, a student may be
exempted from certain distribution
requirements for the degree. Excep-

Agnes Scott College

tionally high scores on the Achieve-
ment Tests of the College Entrance
Examination Board or on exemp-
tion 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 ex-
emption examinations to be ad-
ministered after her arrival at the
College. Achievement Test scores
submitted as part of admissions
credentials may be used also.

Students who have completed the
International Baccalaureate may re-
quest that their records be reviewed
for possible exemption, advanced
placement, and credit.

Students who have participated
in joint enrollment programs with
accredited colleges may receive
credit toward the Agnes Scott
degree. Credit will be awarded only
if the college issues an official
transcript and if the course was
taught by a regular member of the
college faculty. Students who wish
to receive credit for joint enroll-
ment programs must see that an
official transcript is sent to the
Director of Admissions by July 1.

OTHER CURRICULAR
OPPORTUNITIES

INDEPENDENT STUDY

major field may have the op-
portunity to explore for themselves
some area of intellectual or artistic
interest in the major and to pro-
duce independently a piece of work
connected with it. Every student
with junior standing and a
cumulative grade point ratio of B
(2.00) or better is eligible to apply
for admission to the program but
her application is subject to the ap-

proval of the appropriate depart-
mental faculty. The program may

~ SPECIAL STUDY

Special Study, offered by most
academic departments, is designed
for senior majors who wish to pur-
sue 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 ad-
mission to the program are submit-
ted to the Curriculum Committee.
They should be filed during Course
Selection Week or no later than
two weeks prior to the last class day
of the quarter preceding the one in
which the 410 will be taken. Or-
dinarily 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,

The Academic Program

for freshmen and sophomores. The
courses are limited in enrollment,
and a student 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 earned in 190 courses may
not be applied toward satisfying
distribution requirements for the
degree.

AGNES SCOTT
SUMMER PROGRAMS
Agnes Scott offers several summer
study programs, both abroad and
in the United States. These pro-
grams are usually on a rotating
basis. Detailed course descriptions
of each program are to be found in
the section on Courses of Instruc-
tion. Dates, costs, and other details
of the programs are supplied during
the academic year prior to the pro-
gram. 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 limita-
tion for summer school work
elsewhere.

There are two summer study pro-
grams in Biology. Marine Biology

(1983) is taught in coastal areas of
the Southeast. Desert Biology

(1984) is taught in the western
United States.

Several programs exist outside the
United States. They are: Summer
Study in Germany for students of
German (1983); 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 recom-
mended by her major department
and the language department con-
cerned. A number of programs
abroad offered by American col-
leges 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 consult the Dean of the
College and their major depart-
ments 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 Com-
mittee on Academic Standards or,
in the case of an independent pro-
gram, by the Curriculum Commit-
tee. Credit for junior year abroad
programs is awarded on the basis of
a transcript from an American col-
lege or university. In the case of a
student pursuing an independent
program at a British university,
credit is awarded by the Cur-
riculum Committee upon the
recommendation of the depart-
ments concerned.

THE WASHINGTON SEMESTER

Agnes Scott participates in
American University's Washington
Semester Program. Juniors and

Agnes Scott College

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 inter-
national and domestic economic
policy is studied by majors in
economics. Science students have
the opportunity to learn about
national problem areas such as
energy, pollution, and health.
Several other programs may be
arranged for students in other
disciplines. Agnes Scott students
are nominated for the program by
the major departments and apply
through the Dean of the College.
Applications are approved by
the Committee on Academic
Standards.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
Agnes Scott College and Mills Col-
lege, in the San Francisco Bay area,
Oakland, California, have an agree-
ment whereby students enrolled at
either college may spend a quarter,
semester, or year at the other col-
lege. Participants in the program re-
main enrolled in their home college
and pay all fees to the home col-
lege. Students interested in the
possibility of attending Mills for a
period should consult the Dean of
the College. Permission to take part
in this program or in other pro-
grams which may be arranged is
given by the Committee 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 internship 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 in-
terested in a field experience for
academic credit should contact the
chair of her major department. In-
ternships carry the course number
450.

Students are urged to take advan-
tage of other experiences even
though the awarding of academic
credit may be inappropriate. Many
opportunities are arranged through
the Office of Career Planning.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

TEACHING
Agnes Scott has a state-approved
program at the elementary and
middle school levels and in several
secondary fields. A student may
also be certified in elementary/
general music and/or choral music.
A student who completes any of
these programs satisfactorily is eligi-
ble for initial Georgia certification,
generally accepted throughout the
United States. In a few cases, cer-
tain specific courses are required
and arrangements can generally be
made to meet these requirements as
a part of the Agnes Scott degree
program.

A student in the professional
teacher education program has an

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 Tech-
nology. Upon completion of this
five-year liberal arts/professional
program, the student will be award-

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 industrial
management, or in management
science. With advanced planning, a
few outstanding students will be
able to complete a master's degree
at Georgia 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 include certain
courses in science, mathematics,
and economics. In addition, the
student must select a major and
plan a program which will satisfy

Agnes Scott College

all distribution requirements tor 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 re-
quirements stated above and on the

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 re-
quirements for graduation; nor does
it constitute 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 com-
plete Mathematics 101 or 111 or
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, 111, 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 ar-
rangement, Agnes Scott students
may participate 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 commis-
sioned officer 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 at-
tend certain courses at Georgia In-
stitute of Technology.

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.

The Academic Program

PREPARATION FOR

GRADUATE AND

PROFESSIONAL STUDY

A liberal arts program with sound
education in basic disciplines is con-
sidered 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 professional schools as archi-
tecture, 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 regard-
ing graduate and professional
schools, fellowships, and standard
examinations may be obtained in
the office of the Dean of the Col-
lege. Law schools, medical schools,
and some graduate schools require
special admission tests. Arrange-
ments for taking these tests are the
responsibility of the student.

PREMEDICAL

PROGRAM

The premedical program at Agnes
Scott College allows a student to
meet the requirements for admis-
sion to medical school while major-
ing in any academic discipline of
her choice. Almost all medical
schools recognize the importance of
a four-year liberal arts education.
Minimum requirements for admis-
sion 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. Arrange-
ments can be made to take the
Medical College Admission Test at
local centers.

PRELAW
PROGRAM

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 ad-
mission to law school, a student
must present a strong undergrad-
uate 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 ma-
jor professors. Copies of the Prelaw
Handbook are on file in the office
of the Dean.

BUSINESS AND
MANAGEMENT

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

Agnes Scott College

RETURN TO COLLEGE
PROGRAM

The Return to College Program
provides, for women whose educa-
tion has been interrupted, the op-
portunity 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 pro-
gram 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. Re-
quirements include (1) an applica-
tion, 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 regar-
ding admission should be directed
to the admissions office.

All students enroll in regular col-
lege courses, and classified students
meet the same course requirements
for the degree as other undergrad-
uates. Students in this program are
not subject, however, to the usual
minimum course load requirements
nor are they expected to complete
work for the degree in the usual
four years. Time limits for comple-
tion for the degree are: (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.

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 ap-
proval a statement of a proposed
program 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. In-
formation 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 and a cumula-
tive quality point ratio of at
least 0.50.

Juniors: students who have
earned at least 84 quarter
hours of credit and a cumula-
tive quality ratio of at least
0.75.

Seniors: students who have
earned at least 132 quarter
hours of credit and a cumula-
tive 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 de-
gree, (b) transient students working
toward a degree at another institu-
tion, 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

Agnes Scott College

directed to the Committee on
Academic Standards. Unclassified
students who wish to become can-
didates for the degree must submit
a petition to the Office of Admis-
sions 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 Col-
lege 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 faculty advisers for final
course selection after they arrive
in September. Entrance into any
course is prohibited after the tenth
day of the quarter.

A course of study which has been
approved may be changed only in
accordance with posted instruc-
tions. 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.

A student who withdraws during
the session for reasons other than
suspension or dismissal must obtain
a withdrawal card from the Dean of
Students or the Dean of the Col-

lege. 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 soph-
omore years. Juniors and seniors
are permitted to elect one quarter
of thirteen hours each year, pro-
vided 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 be-
ing carried are factors considered.
Permission for auditing is given dur-
ing the first two class days of each
quarter.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

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

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

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

The Academic Program

EXAMINATIONS

Examinations are self-scheduled and
are held at the end of each quarter.
With the exception of a few ex-
aminations scheduled in advance
because of the nature of the course
or i;he size of the class, a student
may take any examination 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; I, incomplete; WP, withdrew
passing; WF, withdrew failing.
Grades for courses taken on a pass-
fail basis are recorded as P or F.

When a student terminates en-
rollment in the College during the
first month of the quarter, no grade
is recorded for work done during
that quarter. When termination is
made after the first month of the
quarter, but before the end of the
quarter, a grade of WP (withdrew
passing) or WF (withdrew failing)
will be given in each course in
which the student is enrolled.

A student may elect a total of ten
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 student's ma-
jor 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 discipline may be taken on a
pass-fail basis. A student's intention
to elect pass-fail courses must be
signified to the Registrar by the
tenth day of the quarter.

Grades (except for courses taken
on pass-fail basis) are evaluated by
a quality point system: A = 3
quality points per quarter hour,
B = 2, C = 1, D = 0. Grades of E,
F, I, P, WP, and WF are excluded
from the calculations of quality
point ratios. For a statement of the
grade and quality point re-
quirements 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 only on completion of the
entire course.

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

ACADEMIC HONORS
The Beta of Georgia Chapter of
Phi Beta Kappa was established at
Agnes Scott in 1926. The Chapter
conducts annual elections in ac-

Agnes Scott College

cordance with criteria and pro-
cedures prescribed by the United
Chapters.

Superior academic work is recog-
nized by the College in several
ways. At the Honors Convocation
held each fall the Class Honor Roll
is read, and Stakes Scholars three
students who rank first academical-
ly 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 Founda-
tion. 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 en-
courages classical scholarship and
appreciation of ancient learning
both in the Agnes Scott student
body and in the local high school.
The basis of election 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 organized in 1979. The
Society promotes ties between
philosophy departments in ac-
credited institutions and students
interested in philosophy. Member-
ship is open to all qualified students
who have taken at least three
courses in philosophy.

GRADUATION HONORS
A student is eligible to graduate
With Honor if she attains a
cumulative grade point ratio of

2.40, 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), and has
no progress grade of F or final
grade of F in a course which carries
academic credit while classified as a
Junior and Senior. 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 ab-
sence, 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.

The Academic Program

I received the recommendation of her

major department.
Honor Roll is based on quality

point ratios earned in a given
. academic session. Requirements are

posted.

ACADEMIC REVIEW

AND DISCIPLINE

The work of each student is re-
viewed at the end of every quarter.
A student whose work is unsatisfac-
tory will be placed on academic
probation. Academic probation
serves as a warning to the student
that her work must improve. A stu-
dent 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 sub-
ject to academic dismissal if she fails
to make appropriate class standing
for two successive years or if she
has been on academic probation for
two consecutive quarters. Final ac-
tion is taken by the Administrative
Committee after receiving a recom-
mendation from the appropriate
faculty body.

ACCELERATION
A student may receive permission
from the Dean of the College and
her major department to complete
degree requirements in nine, ten, or
eleven quarters. This acceleration
may be accomplished in any of the
Following ways: (1) entering with
Advanced Placement credits based
on College Entrance Examination
Board Advanced Placement Ex-
aminations; (2) carrying excess
:ourse loads during regular sessions;

(3) attending either summer sessions
at other institutions or an Agnes
Scott summer program; (4) com-
pleting the International Bac-
calaureate with college credit.
SUMMER SCHOOL

Students may attend summer ses-
sions 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 sum-
mer 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 interest and
works with the student until she
declares a major at the end of the
sophomore year. An assistant dean
coordinates this program.

The chair of her major depart-
ment becomes a student's academic
adviser for the junior and senior
years. Supplementary counseling of
upperclassmen is the responsibility
of an 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 pro-
fessional programs.

of taste, and to promote creative effort
in the entire community. The depart-
ment offers a balanced program of
practice, theory, and history so inte-
grated as to bring effectively into a
liberal education the essential values of
the visual arts.

Introductory 100-level courses do not
require previous experience in art and
are designed to provide all students
with essentials for becoming part of
the cultural life of their community.

In addition to the art major, three
interdisciplinary majors are offered:

The academic program of the Depart-
ment of Chemistry, approved by the
American Chemical Society, is de-
signed to give students a thorough
grounding in the principles and ap-
plications of modern chemistry as well
as extensive practical experience with
research-quality instruments. The cur-
riculum is structured 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, 103,
and the corequisite laboratories in the
freshman year. Students also should
plan their programs so that Physics
210-211 will be completed before the
junior year and Mathematics 201, if
elected, before or during the junior
year.

Exemption from all or part of the in-
troductory chemistry courses (100-level)
may be considered if a student has: an
Advanced Placement score of 4 or 5;
or high school chemistry and a satisfac-
tory score on the departmental exemp-
tion examination; or previous credit for
a college chemistry course at the in-
troductory level. In all cases, evidence
of prior laboratory experience com-
parable to that gained in Chemistry
lOlL, 102L, 103L must be presented.

Students planning for certification by
the American Chemical Society must
complete the core curriculum re-
quirements for a major, as shown
below, with additional hours of study
or research at the advanced level in
chemistry, biology, physics, or
mathematics, as approved by the
department. In any case, an approved
program must fidfill the total
laboratory requirement of the
American Chemical Society and must
demonstrate breadth, as well as depth,
at the advanced level.

The department recommends that all
majors elect courses in statistics and
probability (Mathematics 115 or 328),
differential equations (Mathematics
309), and linear algebra (Mathematics
307). A reading knowledge of a
modern foreign language, preferably
German or Russian, is recommended.

The curriculum of the Department of
English is constructed to give the stu-
dent a breadth of knoudedge and
depth of understanding of English and
American literature and to provide her
the opportunity to learn to read
literature with perception and delight
and to write about it critically and
imaginatively .

A student majoring in English is re-
quired to take work in medieval
literature, sixteenth-century English
literature, seventeenth- or eighteenth-
century English literature, nineteenth-
century English literature, and
American literature. She has a choice
of courses within each required area
and a choice of electives in these or
other fields, especially in modem
British and American literature, to
complete her major hours.

major, the department offers an inter-
disciplinary major English Literature-
Creative Writing. Interdisciplinary
majors are offered, also, in Art
History English Literature and
History English Literature. A
description of these two majors may be
found on pages 119 and 121.

With the approval of the depart-
ment, a student may design also a pro-
gram of concentrated study in which

she emphasizes her major interests in
literature and chooses complementary
courses from other disciplines. For ex-
ample, she may plan a program in
medieval studies. Renaissance studies,
or American studies. The department
provides the opportunity for its majors
to study at British universities in the
junior year and to participate in
internships in the senior year.

All advanced literature courses in
the department have as a prerequisite
English 211 or one of its equivalents: a
score of 4 or 5 on the College Board

The airriculum in the Department of
Mathematics is designed to help
students to think clearly and logically;
to analyze problems; to understand
and be able to use the language,
theory, and techniques of mathematics;
and to develop skills and acquire
mathematical tools needed in the ap-
plication of mathematics.

The courses offered give mathematics
majors a solid background for graduate
study, teaching at the secondary school
level, and employment in government
and industry. A student interested in
both mathematics and physics is in-
vited to consider a Mathematics-
Physics major. A description of this in-
terdisciplinary major may be found on
page 122.

The chair of the department makes
a recommendation about the ap-
propriate placement in a mathematics
course for each entering student.
Students who uish to be considered for
exemption from Mathematics 120 must
take the departmental exemption ex-
amination prior to the beginning of
classes. Students who are planning to
major in mathematics should take
calculus at the appropriate level in the
freshman year: Mathematics 111-121

The Department of Music provides a
curriculum designed to prepare its ma-
jors for graduate study and the profes-
sional music world. It also seeks to
meet the needs of non-majors through
a variety of courses in music apprecia-
tion 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 is invited to consider the Teacher
Certification Program in Music. This
program prepares a student to teach
elementary /general music and/or
choral music and leads to a T-4 cer-
tificate to teach in the public schools
of Georgia. A student wishing to pur-
sue a teaching certificate in music
should contact the Department of
Music no later than the end of her
sophomore year in order to plan her
academic program. Requirements for
the Teacher Certification Program in
Music are described on page 82.

PHILOSOPHY

Professor:

Richard D. Parry
Associate Professor:

David P. Behan (Chair)

Philosophy is a discipline which both
examines critically the basic assump-
tions and positions of other disciplines
and also considers solutions to fun-
damental problems not dealt with ex-
plicitly within other disciplines.

100

Philosophy

There are two complementary ap-
proaches to courses in philosophy. The
lystematic approach is through courses
xjhich deal with specific problems
'103, 106, 107, 230, 232, 250). The
listorical approach is through courses
'n the history of philosophy (206, 209).
Because of the varied interests of
itudents, it is recommended that
itudents considering courses in
'jhilosophy seek the advice of the
Tiembers of the department concerning
'jarticidar courses.

The requirements for the major in
'philosophy embody two goals. The first
Is that the student learn, through close
work with primary sources, the ideas
of the major philosophers. The second
is that the student develop and prac-
lice techniques of critical analysis and
zonstructive reasoning. In fulfilling
these requirements, the student major-
ing in philosophy will both acquire a
thorough grounding in the major areas
of the discipline and also develop her
own critical and creative philosophical
skills.

Physical Education

development through a program of
regular physical activity. Physical
education is required of all students
three hours a week during the first two
years. During the fall quarter,
freshmen must elect one of the follow-
ing activities: field hockey, dance, or
swirnming. Students entering with ad-
vanced standing credits, but with addi-
tional credit to earn in physical educa-
tion, are required to take physical
education in their first quarter or
quarters of residence. Students may not
receive physical education credit for
more than two quarters of the same
activity at the same level.

Students who must be limited in
physical activity should have a physi-
cian's statement filed with the Dean of
the College.

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

REQUIREMENTS

Three of the following areas:

AQUATICS:

Intermediate swimming, synchro-
nized swimming, advanced
lifesaving, Red Cross instructor's
course in water safety

DANCE:

Aerobic dance; modern dance;
ballet; jazz; tap, clog; folk,
square, and social dance

DUAL SPORTS:

Badminton, fencing, tennis

INDIVIDUAL SPORTS:

Archery, fundamentals, golf,
gymnastics and tumbling. Riding
(huntseat equitation, Olympic
style) is taught at the Vogt
Riding Academy. Transportation
is provided.

TEAM SPORTS:

POLITICAL
SCIENCE

Associate Professor:

Augustus B. Cochran III (Chair)
Assistant Professor:

Steven A. Haworth

The political science curriculum offers
courses in four subfields: American
politics, international relations, com-
parative politics, and political theory.
A major may concentrate in any of
these area. Introductory courses corre-
spond to these subfields, allowing a
prospective major to choose her initial
courses according to her primary in-
terests. The department does require,
however, that majors take courses in
at least three subfields. Majors also
are required to undertake an in-
dividual research project to ensure ex-
perience in political science research
methods. This requirement may be
fulfilled either through the seminar in
research methodology or a program of
independent study. An optional senior
seminar permits an intensive explora-
tion of topics selected annually to
reflect the interests of the participants.
Majors are urged to consider intern-
ships 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 in-
terdisciplinary major in International
Relations. Requirements for this major
may be found on page 122.

The department of Sociology and An-
thropology offers a major in Sociology
and an interdisciplinary major in
Sociology Anthropology.

Sociology is a disciplined analysis of
social organization and social interac-
tion with primary emphasis on societies
of the industrial West. Courses in
sociology beyond the introductory
course are grouped around four areas
of inquiry: institutional ways of deal-
ing with fundamental human needs,
problems related to changes and
disruptions in social organization, the
interplay between individual and
group expectations, and the in-
terdependence of the accumulated
knowledge and continuing research in
the discipline.

Anthropology is the comparative
study of culture, emphasizing both the
unity of humankind and the diversity
of specific peoples. Much of the in-
formation anthropologists use is
gathered during participant observation
of small-scale, non-Western societies.

Instructors:

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
ivhich interrelates theory, history, and
practice. With the Winter Theatre as
the laboratory, all aspects of the
theatre arts may be studied in close
association ivith the creative process of
the produced play.

Students who are planning to major
in theatre should consult with the
chair of the theatre department early
in their college careers. It would be
advantageous 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 ex-
ploration and experience, and the
mastery of techniques.

A student interested in theatre, art,
and music is invited to consider the in-
terdisciplinary major in Fine Arts. A
description of this major may be found
on page 121.
