Two summer sessions of five weeks each, plus a ten week session in the evening make up the summer schedule. EVENING PROGRAM As a service to the community, the University offers an evening program covering three terms per year: one during each semester and one during the summer. Classes meet two nights each week (Monday and Wednesday; Tuesday and Thursday) with three class periods each night. To qualify for the special tuition rate given to evening students, a student must take all courses in the evening. A student taking any course during the day will not be classified as an evening student. CONTINUING EDUCATION The Department of Continuing Education acts as a community service in providing adult non-credit courses for interested people in the community. It is Oglethorpe's desire to insure that its academic and physical facilities are made available to all mature adults who show a genuine interest in academics. From time to time, business and professional workshops and conferences are sponsored by this department. New courses to develop skills in leadership and communication will be offered. Additional information is available from the Dean of Continuing Education. The telephone numbers are 261-1441 and 233-6662. 54 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY The Curriculum ORGANIZATION Oglethorpe's curriculum is arranged in six general divisions: Humanities; Social Studies; Science; Education and Behavioral Sciences; Business and Economics; and Graduate Studies. Academic areas included within each are the following: Division I: The Humanities English Music Literature Philosophy Foreign Languages Religion Division II: Social Studies History Metro Life Studies Political Studies Division HI: Science Biology Medical Technology Chemistry Physics Mathematics Division IV: Education and Behavioral Sciences Elementary Education Sociology Secondary Education Social Work Psychology Division V: Business and Economics Accounting Economics Business Administration Division VI: Graduate M.A. Elementary Education Under the semester system, the curriculum offers courses of three and four hours credit. A full-time student carries a normal academic load of five courses during each term. A minimum of one hundred and twenty hours (or their equivalent for transfer students) is necessary for graduation. Some programs may require additional credit. A core program according to the following schedule is required of all four-year students. THE CURRICULUM / 55 CORE PROGRAM At Oglethorpe University, each student is required to complete a cohesive group of courses. It is the opinion of the faculty that these courses are essential to a well rounded undergraduate course of study. Some institutions have distribution requirements. That is, students are required to take a certain number of credit hours in each department. However, it is our belief that this "cafeteria notion" of course selection is less successful in providing essential knowledge and skills than is the planned and cohesive core which is required at Oglethorpe. In addition, it continues to be University policy to provide instruction of the highest quality in the core courses. No graduate assistants are used. The courses are taught by well-trained faculty members. It is not unusual to find a large percentage of these courses taught by senior faculty members. The following is the core program: Western Civilization One of the following: 3 hours I and II 6 hours Music Appreciation United States Government . . .3 hours Art Appreciation One of the following: 3 hours Two of the following: 6 hours Modern World American Literature I International Relations American Literature II Constitutional Law English Literature I American History English Literature II Principles of Economics I ... .3 hours English Literature III Introduction to Sociology . . .3 hours English Literature IV Introduction to Psychology . .3 hours Western World Literature I One of the following: 3 hours Western World Literature II Introduction to Philosophy Mathematics 3 hours Ethics and Social Issues **Biological Science 3 hours *English Composition .... 0-9 hours ***Physical Science 3 hours Exemption may be granted based upon the student's scores on the composition placement test. This test is usually administered the day before registration. **One of the following may be substituted for this requirement Biology I, Biology II, Botany I, Botany II. ***One of the following may be substituted for this requirement Chemistry I, Chemistry II, Physics I, Physics II, Principles of Science I, Principles of Science II. COURSES OF STUDY In the following section, the courses are listed numerically by area within their respective Divisions. Each course is designated by a four digit number. The first digit indicates the course level. (For example: freshman is 1; sophomore, 2, etc.) The second and third digits designate the discipline. Each level of offerings assumes the earlier completion of necessary prerequisites. The number of hours refers to the semester hours credit per term allowed for the course. The 56 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY designation "3 + 3" or "4 + 4" indicates that the course carries 6 or 8 semester hours of credit, respectively, for two semesters of work. MAJORS PROGRAMS Upon entering Oglethorpe University all students are assigned a faculty mentor who assists them in the preparation of their academic program. Responsibility, however, for taking the requisite core and major courses rests exclusively with the student. A student may declare a major at any time during the freshman or sophomore year by filing the appropriate form with the Registrar's Office. Changes of major must also be submitted to the Registrar for approval. Each student must declare a major before completing 60 semester hours. In addition to the required core program, most of the majors include three levels of courses; those prescribed for the major, directed electives recommended as immediately related to the major, and free electives allowed to enable each student to widen his intellectual interests. Variations of each program are possible, according to the particular needs of the student and the regulations of each department. Majors programs are offered in the following: Accounting History Biology Mathematics Business Administration Medical Technology Chemistry Metro Life Studies Economics Philosophy Education-Elementary Physics Education-Secondary Political Studies English Psychology General Studies Sociology DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM IN ART Students seeking a broadly based educational experience involving the types of programs generally found at a liberal arts college as well as the specialized training offered by a professional college may consider a dual degree opportunity. Oglethorpe University and The Atlanta College of Art offer a joint program for students interested in a career in the visual arts. In this program, the student enrolls at Oglethorpe for two years, completes sixty semester hours of work, including the core requirements, and then enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art for approximately three years. The student is required to complete 3 credit hours in Art Appreciation and at least 6 credit hours in Art Studio electives at THE CURRICULUM / 57 Oglethorpe. In addition, the student completes 6 credit hours in second semester Foundation Design at The Atlanta College of Art, preferably during the fourth semester at Oglethorpe. (This require- ment or an equal substitute must be met before the student is enrolled for Introductory Studio classes at ACA.) Upon successful completion of all of the core requirements plus the aforementioned art electives, the student enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art and completes 78 credit hours in Introductory and Advanced Studio and 12 credit hours in Art History. Upon completion of the joint program, the student receives the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Oglethorpe and the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Atlanta College of Art. Students participating in the dual-degree program must meet the entrance requirements of both institutions. DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING Oglethorpe University is associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology and Auburn University in combined programs of liberal arts and engineering. The programs require the student to complete three years at Oglethorpe University and the final two years at one of the engineering schools. The three years at Oglethorpe include general education courses and prescribed courses in mathematics and the physical sciences. The two years of technical education require the completion of courses in one of the branches of engineering. The recommendation of the engineering advisory committee at the end of the three years of liberal studies is sufficient to guarantee the student's admission to the engineering programs. In this combined plan, the two degrees which are awarded upon the successful completion of the program are the degree of Bachelor of Arts by Oglethorpe University and the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering by the engineering school. Because the pre-engineering programs are tightly structured and the requirements of the engineering schools are slightly different, the student is well advised to consult early and frequently with the members of the engineering advisory committee. GENERAL STUDIES The General Studies Major is available to students who prefer not to select a specific major. The degree awarded is Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. The General Studies Major consists of the following: completion of the basic core requirements; completion of a sufficient number of 58 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY course hours to complete the 120 semester hours prescribed for an Oglethorpe degree; completion of a coherent sequence of courses in- cluding at least 18 semester hours in one discipline and 12 semester hours in another discipline (in the first category no more than two courses could be core requirements, and in the second category only one could be a core requirement); completion of at least 36 semester hours in courses designated for juniors and seniors. Concentrations in General Studies also include Pre-Law, Pre- Medicine, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Nursing and Post-Nursing. Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Studies Students interested in attending medical or dental schools should consult the catalogs of these schools to be able to plan an undergraduate program to fulfill their requirements. A summary of the requirements of all medical schools is available in the annual bulletin of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Specific premedical course requirements vary among the schools. However, all recognize the importance of a broad educational background. A coordinated program which includes extensive study in the natural sciences, development of communication skills, and study of the social sciences and humanities is most desirable. Students should consult regularly with both the medical school catalogs and the premedical advisor on the Oglethorpe campus. It must be recognized that medical schools set certain minimum science and mathematics requirements for applicants. These minimum requirements can be met by completion of the following courses: General Chemistry I and II, Biology I and II, Calculus I, Elementary Quantitative Analysis, Organic Chemistry I and II, Physics I and II, and four additional directed electives in Biology. Professional option is available to highly qualified students. This option allows pre-medical students to enter their respective profes- sional programs at the end of the junior year. Credit is awarded at Oglethorpe for the academic credit earned during the first year of medical school. Pre-Nursing A program of study for students interested in nursing is available at Oglethorpe. This program consists of 60 semester hours (two years) of study in the liberal arts and sciences which are to be taken at Oglethorpe. After completion of this program, the student may complete the requirements for the R.N. degree at any accredited program of nursing. Sixty hours of credit is awarded for the R.N. THE CURRICULUM / 59 degree and the student is then eligible for graduation with the Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies. In addition to completing the requirements for the R.N. degree, the student is required to successfully complete the following courses: Freshman English I and II, College Mathematics, Biology I and II, literature sequence (see core program), Introduction to Psychology, Introduction to Socio- logy, Principles of Economics I, General Chemistry I and II, Genetics, Physiology, Microbiology, and two electives. Pre-nursing students are exempt from general core requirements not listed above. Post- Nursing This concentration is designed for students who have been awarded the R.N. degree from an accredited program in nursing. The varied nature of the applicant's academic background necessitates a flexible program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Post-Nursing. Requirements for this concentration include the successful completion of eight core courses (24 semester hours) not previously taken. These courses are listed in the section of this catalog dealing with the University's general core program. In addition, students take twelve directed electives (36 semester hours) depending upon their special needs and interests. These courses are determined in consultation with the Post-Nursing advisor or the Dean of the College. Successful completion of the R.N. degree and the 60 semester hours described above lead to the Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. HUMANITIES / 61 Division I Humanities To insure the orderly completion of the program, the student should consult with the appropriate faculty member in the depart- ment or division at the time of his first registration. It is important that each student have his program fully planned from the outset so that he may be aware of departmental and divisional requirements and allowable substitutions and alternatives.

During the summer, students travel in 68 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY the milieu of a great culture and study the origin, nature, and achievements of that particular culture. This program is primarily directed to the undergraduate humani- ties program. The purpose of the session is to broaden the student's perspective by enhancing the understanding and appreciation of another culture. COURSE OF STUDY: The study program is organized around two related motifs. (1) Prior to the trip to the Far East, a four week seminar will be devoted to the understanding of Far Eastern cultures through the combined perspectives of geography and history, art and religion, economics and political science. Students will attend lectures by the instructors who will stress an interdisciplinary approach to Eastern societies. The instructor will provide the leadership for the independent study group of the student's major interest. (2) There will be tours to the major culture monuments of Eastern cities. During the tour in the Far East students will engage in an independent study project of their choosing.

If an applicant does not choose to enter the Graduate Division in the term indicated on the application, the applicant should notify the Office of Admissions of the change and indicate a new date of entrance, if applicable. Otherwise, the original admission will be cancelled, the file discontinued, and a new application will be required for admission at a later date. Admission to the Graduate Division does not imply ultimate acceptance as a candidate for an advanced degree. For admission to candidacy, see the section Admission to Candidacy. Information concerning the administration of the Graduate Record Examination may be obtained from the Office of Admissions or by writing: Education Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. GRADUATE DIVISION / 117 CLASSIFICATION Students may be admitted to the Graduate Division under any one of the following classifications: Regular. A student who has a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.8 on a 4.0 scale, satisfactory scores on the GRE and the recommendation of the chairman of the Graduate Division, and who has completed all prerequisites required for admission may be admitted as a regular graduate student. Provisional. A person failing to meet one or more of the standards required for admission as a regular student or a qualified senior may be admitted under conditions specified at the time of admission by the chairman of the Graduate Council and approved by the Graduate Council. The provisionally admitted student may apply to the chairman of the Graduate Division for reclassification when the conditions have been met. Graduate courses completed by the provisional student may be counted toward a degree after the student has been reclassified as a regular student. A senior within six semester hours of completing requirements for the bachelor's degree may be permitted to enroll in courses for graduate credit provided that: (1) the student has the permission of the head of the education department and the chairman of the Graduate Division; (2) the student is otherwise qualified for admission to graduate study except for the degree, and (3) the total load in a semester would not exceed fifteen semester hours. Under no circumstances may a course be used for both graduate and undergraduate credit. Transient. A student in good standing in another recognized graduate school who wishes to enroll in the Graduate Division of Oglethorpe University and who plans to return thereafter to the former institution may be admitted as a transient graduate student. In lieu of full transcripts and regular applications the student must submit a transient student application form completed by the graduate dean listing specific courses to be taken for credit. Any student admitted on this basis should understand that registration terminates upon the completion of the work authorized by the degree-granting institution. If later electing to seek a degree from Oglethorpe University, the student must make formal application for admission and may petition to have credit earned as a transient student applied toward the degree at Oglethorpe University. 118 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Unclassified. A degree holder who is not a prospective candidate for a degree at Oglethorpe University, such as a person seeking to meet certification requirements or local school requirements, may be admitted without presenting test scores or recommendations. Credit earned by a student in this category may be counted toward the degree only with consent of the Graduate Council. GRADUATE DIVISION / 119 REGISTRATION Registration dates for each term are listed on page 5 of this publication. Several weeks prior to the beginning of each term, students may obtain from the Registrar's Office a schedule of classes for that particular term. COURSES AND LOADS Courses numbered 6000 are open only to graduate students. Arts and Sciences courses with 4000 numbers carry either undergraduate or graduate credit; graduate students, however, are expected to do more extensive reading, prepare additional reports, and/or produce papers or other projects requiring more extensive research. The maximum course load for any graduate student is fifteen credit hours per semester or six credit hours in a summer term. Any student serving as a graduate assistant must carry a reduced load. A person working more than thirty hours per week normally may not register for more than six hours credit per semester. In all cases, the graduate student is urged to register for only the number of hours which can be successfully completed. ADVISEMENT Upon admission to the Graduate Division, each student is assigned to a member of the graduate faculty in education who serves as advisor and guides the student in planning a program of study. GRADING The quality of work of courses taken in the graduate program is indicated by the marks A, B, C, and F. Grades of I and W are reserved for special cases. Listed below are requirements for each of these grades: A Excellent, with four quality points for each credit hour B Good, with three quality points for each credit hour C Poor, with two quality points for each credit hour F Unsatisfactory work or unofficial withdrawal I Incomplete may be used if the student, because of unusual circumstances, is unable to complete the required work in the prescribed time interval, provided the student was doing satisfactory work. Such a grade must be removed by the completion of the work within one year or the I becomes an F. 120 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY W Official withdrawal may be permitted if the student's progress is interrupted by illness or other emergencies. STANDARDS Candidates for the master's degree must meet the following academic standards: 1. The student's overall grade point average for work submitted in a graduate program must be 3.0 or higher. 2. If, in any case, the candidate fails to maintain satisfactory academic standards, a review by the Graduate Council will determine the student's continuation in a graduate program. ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY Application for the Master of Arts degree in elementary education must be filed with the chairman of the Graduate Division after the student has twelve semester hours of graduate study at Oglethorpe University. Application for admission to candidacy would be given or refused following an examination of the overall work of the student and careful review of the work completed at Oglethorpe. Notice of action taken on application for admission to candidacy would be given in writing to the student and to the student's advisor. The student seeking the Master of Arts degree in elementary education must furnish certification by the chairman of the Education Department of eligibility for first professional certification or include appropriate make-up work in the program. GRADUATION Required Hours. The program leading to the Master of Arts degree in elementary education will require completion of thirty-six semester hours of course credit beyond the bachelor's degree as a minimum requirement. The following minimum requirements must be included in the credit earned: Foundations of Education nine semester hours Elementary Teaching Field courses fifteen semester hours to include twelve semester hours required in elementary education. GRADUATE DIVISION / 121 Residence. At least twenty-one semester hours of graduate work must be completed on campus. Time Limit. In any graduate program all work (including the comprehensive examination) must be completed within a six-year period. It is expected that the student will complete the program with reasonable continuity. Transfer, Extension, Correspondence Credit. A maximum of six semester hours of graduate credit may be transferred from another accredited institution subject to the following conditions: (1) transfer credit will not be considered prior to admission to candidacy; (2) work already applied toward another degree cannot be accepted; (3) work must have been completed within the six-year period allowed for the completion of degree requirements; (4) work must have been applicable toward a graduate degree at the institution where the credit was earned; (5) work offered for transfer must have the approval of the Graduate Division; and (6) acceptance of the transfer credit does not reduce the residence requirement. Under no circumstances may credit earned through correspond- ence work be applied toward satisfaction of degree requirements. COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAMINATION A comprehensive final examination is required of all candidates for the master's degree at or about the time all other requirements have been met. The following regulations govern the administration of the comprehensive examination: 1. The student must be registered when taking the examination. 2. The examinations are developed and administered by such members of the Graduate Faculty as may be appointed by the chairman of the Graduate Division. 3. The examination covers all work prescribed by the student's program of work, including transferred work. TUITION AND FEES Graduate students are charged at the rate of $60.00 per semester hour. An application fee (non-refundable) of $10.00 must accom- pany the application. An application for degree must be made at least two months prior to commencement at which time a $15.00 diploma fee is due. WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS Students who find it necessary to drop courses or change courses must secure an approval drop slip from the Registrar. 122 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Refunds are subject to the same requirements as explained in the chapter on Finances.
