Purpose

Over a quarter of a century ago, Philip Weltner, then President of
the University, wrote an introduction to the catalog in which he ex-
pressed his ideas about the aims and purpose of the college. Ogle-
thorpe was to be "a small college, superlatively good." That has
always been its purpose. Dr. Weltner elaborated on the philosophy of
the University in the following paragraphs:

"The Oglethorpe Idea is to forge the strongest possible link be-
tween the academic' and practical,' between human understand-
ing' and 'know-how,' between culture' and proficiency,' between
past and present. We are persuaded that there is ultimately no con-
tradiction between the concepts represented in each of these usually
divorced pairs.

"There can be no basic disagreement among educators and lay-
men about the common elements of the student's real needs and in-
terests. He is to learn as much as possible about the principles,
forces, and laws influencing or governing nature, including human
nature and human associations; to learn to take account of these not
only for their own sake but for growth, guidance and direction for
himself and others; to express his deepest individuality in the work
or calling most appropriate to his talents; and to discover his proper
place, role, and function in the complex relationships of modern
living.

"Living should not be an escape from work. Education should
therefore encompass the twin aims of making a life and making a liv-
ing. But inescapably his is part and parcel of society. He fulfills
himself by the measure in which he contributes to the happiness and
progress of his fellows. Education, as an institution of society, has a
social obligation. It cannot neglect either the individual or the com-
munity without damage to both. The social order at its best is best
for the individual; the individual at his best is best for society. The
business of education is to strive for this optimum.

"What difference should an education make? There are people,
deficient in formal schooling, who are happy and useful. They
understand and get along well with their neighbors. They are an in-
fluence for good in their community and earn a living by honest ef-
fort. Any truly educated man displays the same traits. The difference
is in degree rather than kind.

"Whereas it is usual for people to understand their fellows, how
much wider should be the sympathies of the educated man! His con-
tacts go beyond the living and embrace the seers of all the ages, who
as his companions should inform his mind and enlarge his vision.

"We therefore stand for a program of studies which makes sense
from first to last, which hangs together, and which promotes this
desired result. Mot only in professional training but also in the educa-
tion of the human personality, the materials of instruction must have
a beginning, point in a definite direction, and prepare for all that en-
sues. We necessarily make provision for and give scope to diversified
talents in preparation for varied careers. But this much we all have in
common; each man has to live with himself and all have to live with

page 3

their fellows. Living in community, with human understanding, in-
volves arts in which we are all equally concerned."

Throughout Dr. Weltner's essay there is the pervasive theme that
the educated person takes his education out with him and involves
his knowledge and understanding in his contacts with others, in his
private live, in his social life, and in his career. A good education is
one that pervades a life in all its facets, and is not, like fancy china,
used only on Sunday.

The post-World War II world has changed greatly, but the Ogle-
thorpe Idea has not changed. The aim of a good education is still, as
Dr. Weltner put it, to enable our students to live in community, with
human understanding.' Our own community is small, allowing us to
work together as a unit; to achieve a unity of goals and to grow
together in our pursuit of them. At Oglethorpe one's major or one s
career goal is of less importance than ones membership in an
academic community dedicated to the intelligent pursuit of the
means to a better world. Our core of required courses does more
than give the student an overview of the world in which he lives; it
gives him a common background with educated people everywhere.

Education in the
English Tradition

American higher education, as we know it today, has been in-
fluenced primarily by three ideas of what a college or university
ought to be. The first is the model of the English college, particularly
in the form developed at Oxford and Cambridge in the 18th and 19th
centuries. Most of the older institutions in the United States were pat-
terned on the English colleges of that period. Many thoughtful
observers have concluded that this is the finest type of collegiate
education produced by Western civilization.

The second idea is that of the German university, especially of the
19th century. This model, which has had enormous influence on
American universities, stresses professional education (as in
medicine and law), graduate study leading to the Ph.D. degree, and
specialized research. The German university idea was imported into
the United States by Johns Hopkins and other institutions in the last
century and has left its mark on every college and university in this
country.

The third idea or model is that of the land-grant college, a unique-
ly American institution created by the Morrill Act, passed by Con-
gress in 1862. This model emphasizes large-scale technical educa-
tion and service to agriculture and industry. It has contributed
especially to education in such fields as engineering and agriculture
and has been the basis on which many of the state universities have
been built.

Oglethorpe University stands firmly in the tradition of the English
college. Established in 1835 and named after General James Edward
Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, the University was patterned on
Corpus Christi College, Oxford, General Oglethorpe's alma mater. It
would be overstating the matter to say that Oglethorpe University
has been untouched by the other two conceptions of higher educa-
tion, but it has certainly been shaped principally by the English tradi-
tion of collegiate education.

page 6

What are the distinctive features of that tradition? Hundreds of
books have been written on the subject, perhaps the most influential
of which is John Henry Hewman's The Idea of a University, one of the
great educational classics. 1 shall mention only five characteristics
that have made this kind of college widely admired:

IThe colleges in the English tradition emphasize broad edu-
cation for intelligent leadership. They believe that this is a
more useful undergraduate education for the able young person
than technical training for a specific job.

2 Colleges such as Oglethorpe stress the basic academic
competencies reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning
and the fundamental fields of knowledge the arts and sciences.
Many high schools and colleges neglect these disciplines today, but
they continue to be the essential tools of the educated person.

3 Close relationships between teacher and student are in-
dispensable to this type of education. A teacher is much
more than a conveyor of information (the invention of the printing
press made that notion of education obsolete). Rather, the most im-
portant function of the teacher is to stimulate intellectual activity in
the student and to promote his development as a mature person.
Factory-like instruction, conducted in huge classes, is the very an-
tithesis of the English tradition.

4 A collegiate education is far more than simply "taking"
courses. It is a process of development in which campus
leadership opportunities, residential life, athletics, formal and infor-
mal social functions, aesthetic experiences, and contact with
students from other cultures, in addition to classroom exercises, all
have their proper place. Versatility and ability to lead are important
goals of undergraduate education.

5 no claim is made that this is the appropriate education
for everyone. Many young people are better fitted for
technical or vocational schools. Others have little aptitude for
leadership and no Interest in Ideas or theoretical questions. At Ogle-
thorpe our experience has been that, in general, an applicant should
rank in the top third of college-bound students if he is to succeed in a
strong college of arts and sciences.

As we approach our 143rd year, we are proud of our English
heritage and are convinced that this is the kind of education most
needed in the world today.

(This statement was prepared by Manning M. Pattillo, Jr, President,
for the 1977 Annual Report.)

History

One of the Souths oldest and finest colleges, Oglethorpe, was
chartered on December 21, 1835, as a result of the efforts of a group
of Georgia Presbyterians. The founders named the new college after
General James Edward Oglethorpe, the distinguished leader of
Georgia in its earliest days.

The University began actual operation on January 1, 1838, at Mid-
way, a small village near Milledgeville, then the state capitol, with
one hundred and twenty-five students and a faculty of six.

Tor nearly three decades after its founding, Oglethorpe University
grew steadily in stature and influence. Its president during most of
that time, Samuel K. T^lmage, provided gifted leadership and
gathered about him a faculty of unusual ability, at least two of whom
would achieve national distinction: James Woodrow, an uncle of
Woodrow Wilson and the first teacher in Georgia to hold the Ph.D.
degree, and Joseph LeConte, destined to acquire world fame for his
work in the field of geology.

Oglethorpe produced a steady stream of graduates during the
early years, the most famous being the poet Sidney Lanier. A member
of the class of 1860, Lanier is reported to have remarked that the
greatest intellectual impulse of his life came to him during his col-
lege days at Oglethorpe.

By the close of the 1850's, the institution had reached a new
plateau of financial solidarity and academic soundness, but its life
and service were suddenly cut short in the 1860's as the University
became a casualty of war. Her students marched away to become
Confederate soldiers; her endowment was lost in Confederate bonds;
her buildings were converted to barracks and a hospital. Toward the
end of the war General William T. Sherman's army, during its destruc-
tive march to the sea, visited the University but left the property
intact.

In 1866 an effort was made to revive Oglethorpe, first at Midway
and then by relocation in Atlanta. However, the ravages of war,
together with the disruptions of Reconstruction, presented obstacles
too great to overcome, and in 1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors
again.

The next chapter of Oglethorpe's history begins with the deter-
mination of Thornwell Jacobs, a noted Presbyterian minister, to re-
establish Oglethorpe. He enlisted the support of Presbyterian chur-
ches throughout the South and East and of influential individuals
and groups in Atlanta. His vision materialized in 1915 with the laying
of the cornerstone of the first building (later named Phoebe Hearst
Memorial Hall) on the present campus. Oglethorpe alumni from the
classes of 1860 and 1861 were present for the historic ceremony,
thus linking the old Oglethorpe with the new.

Dr. Jacobs was subsequently named President, serving in that
capacity until 1944. During that time the University grew in size and
reputation. Throughout the 1920's the institution received substan-
tial contributions from individuals such as J.T. Lupton, Mrs. Robert J.
Lowry, and William Randolph Hearst, Sr. With these and other con-

page 9

tributions several buildings were constructed, including Lupton Hall,
site of the present administration building; Lowry Hall, the Universi-
ty s library; and Hearst Hall, which now serves as a classroom facility.

Oglethorpe, under the leadership of Dr. Jacobs, was soon recogn-
ized as one of the Souths most innovative educational institutions.
In 1931, WJTL, one of the first campus radio stations in the United
States, was established at Oglethorpe. A few years later. Dr. Jacobs
began his work on The Crypt of Civilization, located in a vault in
Phoebe Hearst Hall. This is a collection of books and other objects
representative of 20th Century America, which is to remain sealed
until the year 8115, when it will be opened for the benefit of
historians. The project was reported nationally and internationally
and was supported from its inception by the Scientific American.
General David Sarnoff, founder and Chairman of the Board of the
Radio Corporation of America (R.C.A.) spoke at the dedication of the
Crypt in 1940.

Several other interesting projects began during the Jacobs ad-
ministration, including an unsuccessful attempt to relocate the re-
mains of General James Oglethorpe from England to the Oglethorpe
campus. In the late 1930's the Exceptional Education Experiment"
was instituted with the aim of adding depth and meaning to the
educational process for a group of carefully selected students. The
University received national attention in 1932, when President
Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke on the campus and received an honorary
degree.

A new chapter opened in the history of Oglethorpe in 1944 when
Philip Weltner assumed the presidency and, with a group of faculty
associates, including Gerhart niemeyer, George Seward, and Wendell
Brown, initiated a new and exciting approach to undergraduate
education called the Oglethorpe Idea." This concept was based on
the conviction that education should encompass the twin aims of
making a life and making a living, and toward these ends a program
of studies should be developed. The essential curricular principles
adopted at that time have continued to provide the framework of an
Oglethorpe education for the past thirty years.

The University continued to make steady progress during the
presidencies of J. Whitney Bunting, Donald Wilson, Donald C. Agnew,
and Paul R. Beall. Throughout this period strong teachers were ap-
pointed, the academic program was further developed, and there
was a gradual expansion of the size of the student body. Special men-
tion should also be made of George Seward, who contributed impor-
tantly to the educational development of the University, as a long-
time dean and an acting president.

The presidency changed hands once again in 1967, when Paul
Kenneth Vonk assumed office. Keeping pace with the growing
demands of increased enrollment. Dr. Vonk initiated a program of
physical expansion unparalleled in the University's long history. Dur-
ing his administration the following buildings were completed: five
men's dormitories Jacobs, Welter, Alumni, Oglethorpe, and
Trustees; a beautiful university center: a women's dormitory, Jtaer

page 10

Hall; and a science center, Qoslin Hall. In addition, all of the older
buildings were extensively remodeled, giving Oglethorpe an attrac-
tive campus and an excellent physical plant.

Manning M. Pattillo, Jr. was inaugurated in 1975 as Oglethorpe's
twelfth president. During his administration special emphasis has
been placed on liberal education as a rigorous intellectual ex-
perience and as preparation for leadership. The expansion of Ogle-
thorpe's program of continuing education, the attraction of students
from abroad, increasing selectivity in admissions, and the accelera-
tion of financial development are other areas that have received par-
ticular attention.

Oglethorpe University has had a long and exciting history and has
produced more than its share of distinguished graduates in
business, public affairs, education, medicine, religion, law, and other
fields. It looks forward to an increasingly important role as one of the
better private colleges in its region.

Buildings
and Grounds

LOWRY HALL - LIBRARY

Lowry Hall houses the University library. Among its outstanding
features are a variety of study areas, a large reading-reference room
on the first floor, and an outdoor reading patio. Individual student
conference rooms are available, as well as individual carrels in the
book stack areas. The Library of Congress Classification system is
used in an open stack arrangement, allowing free access to users on
all four floors. Provisions are made for a variety of microform
materials.

The collection of over 186,500 items includes books, periodicals,
microforms, and audiovisual materials. More than 300 periodical
subscriptions provide a diversified range of current information. The
R. L. Dempsey Special Collections room includes materials on James
Edward Oglethorpe and Georgia, Sidney Lanier (an Oglethorpe alum-
nus), and other collections of autographed books and unique
volumes. The library has the only known contemporary oil portrait of
General Oglethorpe.

The Sears Collection of Children's Literature contains over 2,000
volumes of children's books, which help support the graduate pro-
gram of elementary education. The library also subscribes to the
ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) microfiche
publications. The Japanese Collection consists of books in the
English language and other materials on Japanese history and
culture.

A browsing area contains a special collection of current books
which have general appeal. It also provides access to all new acquisi-
tions before they are dispersed into the classified subject sections.

The library is open seven days a week during the regular academic
year. On five days it is open day and evening.

THE STUDENT CENTER

The Student Center is the hub of campus life. It houses the stu-
dent lounges, television room, recreational facilities, snack bar, post
office, book store, student activity offices, conference rooms, the
cafeteria, and dining room.

LUPTON HALL

Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor of John Thomas
Lupton, was one of the three original buildings on the present
Oglethorpe University campus. It was renovated in 1973, and con-
tains all administrative offices and an auditorium with seating for
three hundred and fifty persons. The University Business Office is
located on the lower level of Lupton Hall; the office of the Dean, the

page 13

Registrar, and the Admissions Office are on the first floor; the Office
of the President, Dean of Administration, Dean of Students, Office of
Counseling and Career Development, Office of Development and
Alumni Affairs are on the second floor. The Office of Financial Aid is
on the third floor. The ELS Language Center, which opened in 1975,
occupies much of the third floor. The language laboratory and the
reading laboratory are located on the second floor.

The original cast bell carillon in the Lupton tower has forty-two
bells which chime the quarter hours and a daily afternoon concert.

PHOEBE HEARST HALL

Phoebe Hearst Hall was built in 1915 in the handsome neo-Qothic
architecture that dominates the Oglethorpe campus. The building is
named in honor of Phoebe Apperson Hearst, the mother of William
Randolph Hearst, Sr.

It was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a classroom and faculty of-
fice building. Most classes, with the exception of science and math-
ematics, are held in this building which is located directly across
from Lupton Hall. Additional renovation for a student-faculty lounge
and an expanded computer center was completed in 1977.

The dominant feature of the building is the beautiful Great Hall,
the site of many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe.
Located in the ground floor of the building is the much-publicized
Crypt of Civilization. This capsule was sealed on May 28, 1940, and is
not to be opened until May 28, 8113.

GOSLIN HALL

Qoslin Hall was completed in 1971 and houses the science depart-
ment. Laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics, and modern
lecture halls, are located in the building. Qoslin Hall was named in
honor of Dr. Roy H. Qoslin, Professor Emeritus of Physics, for his
many years of dedicated work for the college and the nation. A new
physics laboratory, made possible by a grant from the Olin Founda-
tion, was opened in 1979.

TRAER HALL

Built in 1969, Traer Hall is a three story women s residence which
houses 168 students. Construction of the building was made possi-
ble through the generosity of the late Wayne S. Traer, Oglethorpe
University alumnus of the Class of 1928. These semi-private rooms
open onto a central plaza courtyard. As all buildings on the Ogle-
thorpe campus, Traer Hall is completely air-conditioned.

page 14

GOODMAN HALL

Goodman Hall was built in 1956 and renovated in 1970, when it
was transformed from a men's into a women's residence hall. The
building contains twenty-seven rooms and is used to house some
Junior and Senior women. Private rooms are available. Located adja-
cent to Goodman hall are three newly resurfaced tennis courts.

MEN'S RESIDENCE HALL COMPLEX

Five men's residence halls are situated around the upper quad-
rangle. Two of the buildings were named for former Oglethorpe
presidents. Dr. Philip Weltner and Dr. Thronwell Jacobs. Constructed
in 1968, these buildings were refurbished in 1977. The three story
structures house all male resident students. A $1.2 million redesign
of the complex began in 1979.

FAITH HALL

The Student Health Center is located on the upper level of Faith
Hall, together with art studios and lecture rooms. The lower level of
Faith Hall houses the maintenance facility. The building was
renovated in 1972 to include overnight facilities for students in the
health center.

R.E. DOROUGH FIELD HOUSE

The Dorough Field House is the site of intercollegiate basketball,
intramural and recreational sports, and large campus gatherings
such as concerts and commencement exercises. Built in 1960, this
structure underwent major renovation in 1979. The building is
named for the late R.E. Dorough, a former Tt-ustee of the University.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

The most recent additions to the campus are a six-lane, all-
weather, reslite track and a new intramural field. These improve-
ments provide modern facilities for the soccer and track teams. The
intramural football and softball teams use the new facilities as well.

Admissions

i^:^i*^'-

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION

Throughout its history, Oglethorpe has welcomed students from
all sections of this country, as well as from abroad, as candidates for
degrees. It is the policy of the Admissions Committee to select for
admission to the University those applicants who present the
strongest evidence of purpose, maturity, scholastic ability, and prob-
able success at Oglethorpe. In making its judgments, the Committee
considers the nature of students' high school programs, their
grades, the recommendations of their counselors and teachers, and
their scores on aptitude tests. In recent years, the Admissions Com-
mittee has become increasingly selective. Admission is competitive,
and the academic ability of the Oglethorpe student body is well
above the average for the region and the country.

Candidates for admission as freshmen must present a satisfac-
tory high school program. In addition, the student must submit
satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the Col-
lege Entrance Examination Board, or American College Testing Pro-
gram Assessment (ACT).

It is to the applicant's advantage to take the American College
Test or Scholastic Aptitude Test as early as possible during the senior
year in high school. Details concerning the program can be obtained
from high school counselors, or by writing the American College
Testing Program, P.O. Box 451, Iowa City, Iowa 52240, or College En-
trance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, H.J. 08540.

The Oglethorpe application form contains a list of the materials
which must be submitted by the applicant. Ho application will be
considered and acted upon until the items indicated have been
received. Applications will be considered in order of completion, and
the applicant will be notified of the decision of the Committee on Ad-
missions as soon as action has been taken.

Though the exact date will vary from semester to semester,
generally the deadline by which admissions will be closed will be an-
nounced by the University.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

There are two testing programs through which students may earn
credit or exemption for required or elective courses. These two pro-
grams are described below. Any student who has questions about
these examinations should consult the Registrar. Up to sixty
semester hours of credit will be accepted through these programs.

page 17

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM CLEP

Within the testing program are two categories. The General Ex-
aminations cover the areas of English Composition, Humanities,
Mathematics, natural Science, and Social Science History. A max-
imum of thirty semester hours may be earned with acceptable scores
in the General Examination. Minimum acceptable scores are 500 for
each general area and 50 in each sub-total category. The Subject Ex-
aminations are designed to measure knowledge in a particular
course. A minimum acceptable score of 50 in a subject examination
is required for credit.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM

The University invites and urges those students who have taken
the Advanced Placement examinations of the College Entrance Ex-
amination Board to submit their scores for consideration toward col-
lege credit. The general policy of Oglethorpe toward such scores is
the following: academic credit will be given in the appropriate area to
students presenting advanced placement grades of 4 or 5; exemp-
tion but not credit will be given in the appropriate area from basic
courses for students presenting a grade of 3; neither credit nor ex-
emption will be given for a grade of 2; maximum credit to be allowed
to any student for advanced placement tests will be thirty semester
hours.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Applicants for transfer from other recognized institutions of
higher learning are welcome at Oglethorpe, provided they are in
good standing at the institution last attended. They are expected to
follow regular admissions procedures and will be notified of the deci-
sion of the Admissions Committee in the regular way.

The same information is required of the transfer student as for the
entering freshman, with the following exception:

High school records and test scores are not required of
students having more than one full year of transferable
credit.

Transfer students must submit transcripts of all previous college
work. A separate official transcript from each college attended must
be received before any action will be taken on the application.

Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses com-
parable to university courses which are applicable to a liberal arts or
a science degree. A two year residence requirement is in effect, but
may be reduced to one year by joint decision of the dean and the
chairman of the division in which the student will major. Therefore,

page 18

two years of transfer work is the maximum given without such deci-
sion, but up to three years of transfer work may be granted with such
decision. Acceptable work must be shown on an official transcript
and must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

Transfer students on probation or exclusion from another institu-
tion will not be accepted, with the following exception:

Students who have not been enrolled in any institution for
five years will be considered for admission by the admis-
sions committee.

Transfer students having a QPA of less than 2.3 (on a 4,0 scale) will
automatically be reviewed by the admissions committee.

Oglethorpe will not accept a "D" grade as transfer credit, unless a
student has graduated from an accredited junior college, or a "D"
grade is followed by a "C" grade or better in a normal sequence
course (i.e.. General Biology I and 11).

Transfer students who have earned the Associate of Arts degree at
an accredited junior college will be awarded two years of credit. The
remaining two years of academic credit will be determined by the
Dean of the College in consultation with the Registrar, the ap-
propriate department chairman, and the student. Junior college
graduates with strong academic records are encouraged to apply for
admission. All financial aid awards and scholarships are open to
transfer students as well as new freshmen.

Oglethorpe University will accept as many as thirty hours of
United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFl) credit. Students with at
least six months active military experience may be granted three
hours credit for that experience. Students who serve for two years or
more, may receive six hours credit.

SPECIAL AND TRANSIENT STUDENTS

In addition to regular students, a limited number of special and
transient students will be accepted.

Special students are defined as those students not working
toward a degree at Oglethorpe, They are limited to a maximum of
five courses (15 semester hours). Special students must meet the
following requirements:

page 19

1. Reference letter

2. Five years since high school attendance

If a special student completes 15 semester hours at Oglethorpe
and desires to continue, he will automatically be required to apply
for change of status to degree-seeking and be subject to the same re-
quirements as the degree-seeking student. Exception:

Those students already holding a bachelor's degree from
an accredited institution will not be required to change to
degree-seeking status unless they desire to work toward
another degree at Oglethorpe.
All students changing from special to regular status are subject to
review by the Admissions Committee.

Transient students may take a maximum of two semesters of
work, provided that they secure permission from the dean of their
original institution certifying that the institution will accept for
transfer credit the academic work done by the student at Ogle-
thorpe. This permission is the responsibility of the transient student.

NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS

Admission to Oglethorpe is not restricted to recent high school
graduates and transfer students. The University attempts to fulfill its
responsibility to the entire community by offering admission to non-
traditional students. Students with a high school diploma, or its
equivalent, who have not been enrolled during the last five years are
exempt from taking the traditional entrance examinations. Also,
those persons who have never completed their undergraduate
degrees and wish to resume their study after an extended absence
are encouraged to apply.

Admission is offered in the fall, spring, and summer terms. Inter-
views are required to determine the special needs of these students.
Personal counseling is available to avoid unnecessary difficulties
and to promote the development of the students. These students
have individual plans according to their needs and interests.

Two special programs are offered for adults who desire to reenter
the academic environment. One is a Study Skills Workshop which in-
cludes the following topics: motivation for study, concentration and
memory, time management, reading improvement, note-taking, and
test-taking. The other program is a seminar that covers topics like
financial planning, personal readjustment, child care, values
clarification, goal setting, and personal affirmation.

The University is able to offer admission to non-traditional
students by recognizing their strengths in enthusiasm, motivation,
and maturity.

PROGRAMS

Oglethorpe University provides students with an opportunity to
obtain financial assistance for part of their educational expenses.
The Financial Aid Form (FAF) is the common form by which students
may apply for all campus-based programs (national Direct Student
Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-
Study) and at the same time, apply for the Pell Grant (Basic Educa-
tional Opportunity Grant). In completing the Financial Aid Form, the
student will receive his Student Eligibility Report for the Pell Grant
Program. When the report is received, it should be forwarded to the
Director of Financial Aid. Students may receive several types of aid to
complete their "package of financial assistance.

A financial aid package may include assistance from any one or
more of the following sources:

Oglethorpe Merit Awards for Scholarship (O.M.A.S.) are awarded
in amounts from $500 to $1900. For freshmen, these awards are
based on the applicant's aptitude test scores (SAT or ACT). For upper-
classmen and transfer students, these awards are based on the
cumulative, grade point average of the applicant. Participation in ac-
tivities, leadership, citizenship, and potential for success constitute
important criteria for awarding these scholarships. The O.M.A.S. is
unique in that scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit rather
than need and are made available to a great many more students
than traditional scholarship programs.

Presidential Scholarships provide a stipend of $10,000 for the
four years of undergraduate study. To receive this award, a candidate
must rank in the top 1% of his graduating class, have achieved a
combined score of at least 1200 on the SAT or a composite score of
28 on the A.C.T., and have demonstrated superior leadership
qualities in secondary school. These scholarships are awarded by the
President of the University upon the nomination by the Director of
Admissions and with the unqualified recommendation of the can-
didate's secondary school.

Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG) is available for full-
time Georgia residents who attend and seek their degree at Ogle-
thorpe. The program was established by an Act of the 1971 Georgia
General Assembly. The Georgia higher Education Assistance
Authority defines the program in this way: The purpose of the Act is
to provide tuition assistance to Georgia resident students who are
desirous of pursuing their higher education goals in a private
Georgia college or university, but find the financial cost prohibitive
due primarily to high tuition of these educational institutions in
comparison to public schools which are branches of the University
System of Georgia. ' All students must complete a yearly application
to verify their eligibility for the grant. In the 1982-83 school year, this
grant is $675.00 per academic year. Pio Financial Aid Form is re-
quired for this program since family financial need is not a factor in
determining eligibility.

page 24

Pell Grant (Basic Educational Opportunity Grant) is a federal aid
program intended to be the floor in financial assistance. Eligibility is
based upon a family s financial resources. Applications for this pro-
gram may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid or from a high
school guidance office. This aid is administered in the form of non-
repayable grants.

Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (S.E.O.G.) do not
require repayment. The size of the grant depends on the need of the
individual recipient. To qualify for an S.E.O.Q., a student must be
enrolled or accepted for enrollment and must be capable of main-
taining normal progress toward the achievement of a degree. Ap-
plication for these funds is made by filing a Financial Aid Form.

national Direct Student Loans (Pi.D.S.L.), previously called na-
tional Defense Student Loans, are long-term, lou' cost educational
loans to students u'ho have demonstrated need for such assistance.
no interest is charged and repayment is deferred while the borrower
continues as a half-time student. Interest is charged at a four per-
cent annual rate beginning six months after the borrower's educa-
tion is terminated. These loans are available to students who show a
demonstrated financial need through the Financial Aid Form.
Students electing to serve in the Peace Corps, a volunteer under Title
I - Part A of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act, a full-time volunteer
in a similar tax-exempt organization, or in the Armed Forces of the
United States may be exempt from interest charges and repayment
for three years. Cancellation benefits may be received by teaching in
poverty " areas that are designated by the U.S. Commissioner of
Education, for teaching handicapped children, and for teaching in
Head Start Programs.

College Work-Study Program (C. W.S.P.) permits a student to earn
part of the educational expenses. The earnings from this program
and other financial aid cannot exceed the student's financial need.
Students eligible for this program work part-time on the Oglethorpe
campus.

Guaranteed Student Loans (G.S.L.) and Federally Insured Stu-
dent Loans (F.LS.L.) are long term loans available through banks,
credit unions, and other lending institutions. Students desiring to
seek a loan in this manner should consult with the Director of Finan-
cial Aid for additional information. A student must earn thirty (30)
semester hours each twelve months in order to continue to receive
this loan.

Parents Loans for Undergraduate Students (P.L.U.S.) are
relatively long term loans available through banks, credit unions,
and other lending institutions. Parents desiring to seek a loan from
this program should consult with the Office of Financial Aid for addi-
tional information.

Georgia Incentive Scholarship (G.I.S.), as defined by the Georgia
Student Finance Authority is a "program created by an act of the
1974 Georgia General Assembly in order to establish a program of
need-based scholarships for qualified Georgia residents to enable

page 25

them to attend eligible post-secondary institutions of their choice
within the state. The scholarship awards are designed to provide
only a portion of the student's resources in financing the total cost of
post-secondary education.

Ty Cobb Educational Foundation Scholarship Program. Only
students who are residents of Georgia and who have completed at
least one year of "B quality or higher work in an accredited college

University is to prepare students for leadership roles in society. One
way of promoting this purpose is to give special recognition to
students who demonstrate leadership capabilities as undergradu-
ates. Scholarships in amounts up to full tuition and room and board
are awarded to superior students with good character and leadership
capability who can contribute significantly to one of the fields of ex-
tracurricular activity. The individual amounts of these awards vary. It

or staff in order to be considered for an award.

Recipients of funds from this program will be expected to main-
tain specified levels of academic achievement and to continue to
make significant contributions to their respective activities. Each

All students enrolled in Summer School will be assessed $215 per
three semester hour course. The rate for four-hour lab courses is
$300 including a $15 laboratory fee.

Students desiring residence hall and food service accommoda-
tions are charged $325 per five-week session for a double room,
$385-$395 per five week session for a single room. These fees are for
both room and board.

WITHDRAWAL, DROP/ADD

Students who find it necessary to drop courses or add courses
must secure a drop/ add form in the Registrar's Office. The form is
the only means by which students may change their enrollment. A
drop/ add form must be completed in the Registrar's Office during
the drop/add week. After the drop/add period, the professor must
approve the change in schedule. The professor may issue one of the
following grades: withdraw passing (W), withdraw failing (WF). or may
refuse to approve a drop. In order to receive a refund, the student
must officially drop the class by the end of the twentieth day.

Students should note that any change of academic schedule must
be cleared by the Registrar s Office. The date the change is received
in the Registrar s Office will be the official date for the change.

If a student misses six consecutive classes in any course, the in-
structor will notify the Registrar's Office and it will be assumed that
the student has unofficially withdrawn from the course. This does
not eliminate the responsibility stated above concerning the official
withdrawal policy. The student may receive the grade of withdrawal
passing, withdrawal failing, or failure due to excessive absences.
This policy has direct implications for students receiving benefits
from the Veterans Administration and other federal agencies as
these agencies must be notified when a student misses six con-
secutive classes. This will result in an automatic decrease in
payments to the student. Reinstatement in a course is at the discre-
tion of the instructor.

If a student is in need of withdrawing from school, an official
withdrawal form must be obtained from the Registrar. The Dean of
the College and the Director of F"inancial Aid must sign the with-
drawal form. The date the completed withdrawal form is submitted
to the Registrar will be the official date for withdrawal.

REFUNDS

The establishment of a refund policy is based on the University's
commitment to a fair and equitable refund of tuition and other
charges assessed. While the University advances this policy, it should
not be interpreted as a policy of convenience for students to take
lightly their responsibility and their commitment to the University.

page 36

The University lias demonstrated a commitment by admitting and
providing the necessary programs for all students and feels the
student must also demonstrate a commitment in their academic
program.

Since insurance coverage begins on the payment date and the fee
is not retained by the University, it will not be refunded after registra-
tion day. A $100 fee will be retained by Oglethorpe as a processing
fee when a student withdraws; all other fees except the advance
deposit (i.e., tuition, room and board) are subject to the refund
schedule.

The date which will be used for calculation of a refund for with-
drawal or drop/add will be the date on which the Registrar receives
the official form signed by all required personnel. All students must
follow the procedures for withdrawal and drop/ add in order to
receive a refund. Students are reminded that all changes in their
academic program must be cleared through the Registrar; an
arrangement with a professor will not be recognized as an official
change of schedule.

All tuition refund requests will be processed at the conclusion of
the fourth week of classes. Payment will take a minimum of two
weeks, but will be no longer than forty days.

In the following schedules, "class day means any day during
which the University conducts classes.

REFUND SCHEDULE FOR
WITHDRAWALS FROM THE UNIVERSITY

Before 1st class day 100%

By the end of the 7th class day 75%

By the end of the 14th class day 50%

By the end of the 20th class day 25%

REFUND SCHEDULE FOR CHANGES IN SCHEDULE

Changes in schedule by the end of the 7th class day 100%

Changes in schedule by the end of the 10th class day 75%

Changes in schedule by the end of the 16th class day 50%

Changes in schedule by the end of the 20th class day 25%

In order to administer the refund policy equitably, there will be no
exceptions.

Damage deposit refunds will be processed once each semester for
students and will be mailed on an announced day from the Business
Office, rio refund will be processed until classes have ceased for the
semester in progress.

Student Life

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of
leadership in society. Many colleges mention this as one of their
goals. At most institutions, this is simply a part of the rhetoric of
higher education. However, at Oglethorpe, specific educational ex-
periences are planned to help the student acquire the arts of leader-
ship.

Education for leadership must be based on the essential
academic competencies reading, writing, speaking, and reason-
ing. Though widely neglected today at all levels of education, these
are the prerequisites for effective leadership. They are the marks of
an educated person. Oglethorpe Insists that its students achieve ad-
vanced proficiency in these skills. In addition, students are offered
specific preparation in the arts of leadership. Such arts include an
appreciation of constructive values, the setting of goals, public
speaking, human relations, and organizational skills.

This philosophy presents an excellent opportunity for the able
young person who is striving for a significant life, including leader-
ship in the improvement of our community and our society.

ORIENTATION-FRESHMAN SEMINAR

Oglethorpe University wishes to provide for each student the op-
portunity of adequate adjustment to college life. Because we take
pride in our tradition of close personal relationships, we have
organized an orientation program to provide these relationships, as
well as much needed information about the University.

The program has been developed to assist students through small
group experiences. Information is disseminated which acquaints the
student with the academic program and the extracurricular life of
the campus community. Thorough understanding of the advising
system, the registration process, library use, class offerings, and
study demands is sought. Alternatives for self expression outside the
classroom are also presented to the new student.

To supplement the student's experience, a Freshman Seminar is
held during the first semester. Topics discussed during these ses-
sions will meet the needs of the developing student and will help the
student assimilate his college experiences. Freshman students, hav-
ing completed the orientation program and the series of seminars,
will be better prepared to understand and appreciate their educa-
tional development.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply con-
cerned with the total development of the individual as a competent

page 39

student and as a highly responsible citizen both on the campus and
in the community. The University's high standards of personal con-
duct and responsibility are an expression of its confidence in each
student s potential as a human being; however, the students must be
as willing to accept adult consequences as they are insistent upon
being granted adult freedom of decision and action.

Unfortunately, neither knowledge and wisdom nor knowledge and
integrity are synonymous; therefore, a firm grasp of academic
studies will not in itself be an assurance that a student is profiting
fully from the college experience.

Individuals who do not desire to accept either this view of the
University's responsibility, or live by its regulations, should not apply
to the University for admission. Accepted students who demonstrate
their unwillingness to meet standards will be terminated from the
University.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Undergraduate life at Oglethorpe is, in a large sense, one of a
democratic community; student government is mainly self-govern-
ment. The Oglethorpe University Student Association, consisting of
the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Parliamen-
tarian of O.S.A. and the Presidents of the four classes, is the guiding
and governing organization of student life at the University. Meetings
are held regularly and notices posted. All students are urged to at-
tend. Additional information may be obtained from O.S.A. , Box 458,
3000 Woodrow Way, Atlanta, Georgia 30319.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Valuable educational experiences may be gained through active
participation in approved campus activities and organizations. All
students are encouraged to participate in one or more organizations
and to the extent that such involvement does not deter them from
high academic achievement. Students are especially encouraged to
join professional organizations associated with their interests and
goals. The value of a student's participation is a major consideration
in determining scholarships.

ATHLETIC POLICY

At Oglethorpe University the students who participate in inter-
collegiate competition are considered to be students first and
athletes second. All students engaged in athletics must satisfy the
same academic requirements as other students. There are no
scholarships which are based solely or primarily on the athletic abili-
ty of the student, however, Oglethorpe provides a program of Leader-
ship Scholarships and Merit Awards which are described in another
section of this bulletin. Many students who are interested in sports
and are superior academically can qualify for these forms of
assistance.

ATHLETICS

Oglethorpe University offers intercollegiate competition in
basketball, track, cross country, soccer, and tennis for men and in
tennis, volleyball, track, and cross country for women.

In addition to the intercollegiate competition, a well rounded pro-
gram of intramural sports is offered and has strong participation by
the student body. Men participate in football, volleyball, basketball,
and Softball. Women participate in volleyball, tennis, bowling, and
Softball.

INTERNSHIPS

There is increasing interest on the campus in practical experience
which complements the traditional academic program. Oglethorpe
offers field experience assignments to prepare the student who
seeks employment immediately upon graduation. This experience is
designed to bridge theory and practice by involving the student in a
field related to his major program.

Internships are available to students in all academic programs.
Opportunities can be arranged in business, government, education,
social services, and health care institutions. Detailed information is
available through the Student Affairs Office.

COUNSELING

The Counseling Service at Oglethorpe provides confidential pro-
fessional assistance to students experiencing psychological or social
problems. Though academic advising is the responsibility of
individually-assigned faculty mentors, students encountering
unusual academic difficulties may wish to consult a counselor regar-
ding possible contributing factors. Assistance in developing effec-
tive study skills is also available both in special workshops and, if

page 42

needed, in individual conferences. Psychological tests are
sometimes utilized in conjunction with the counseling process when
circumstances indicate that these would be helpful.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Students needing guidance in selecting a career or assistance in
obtaining appropriate job placement can receive help from the Of-
fice of Career Development. An extensive career development library
is maintained containing information on a wide variety of career op-
portunities. Vocational interest inventories are also available and are
frequently used as a part of a highly individualized process of career
counseling.

A four year program of career development is available to in-
terested students. The program provides guidance with career deci-
sions and specific job preparation. Special attention is given to the
improvement of skills in conducting meetings, strengthening
organizations, interviewing, constructing resumes, and public
speaking.

Oglethorpe University is a member of the College Placement
Council and maintains contact with numerous local and national
businesses, industries, and social service agencies for the purpose of
arranging employment interviews for seniors. Information on full-
time, part-time, and summer employment opportunities is updated
and made available to all students and alumni. In addition, a central
placement file is maintained on all students and alumni who com-
plete the necessary forms and provide references of appraisal. Upon
written request this placement file will be sent to any prospective
employer or graduate school indicated.

OPPORTUNITIES IN ATLANTA

The Oglethorpe campus is located eight miles north of downtown
Atlanta. This proximity to the Souths greatest city offers Oglethorpe
students many cultural advantages. The Atlanta Symphony Or-
chestra performs during the fall and winter m.onths in the Memorial
Arts Center. The Atlanta Ballet Company schedules performances
from riovember through March. Both The Theatre of the Stars and
the Alliance Theatre Company present productions of contemporary
and classical plays. These are only illustrative of the wide range of
cultural opportunities offered by Atlanta. Student discounts are
available for many performances.

HOUSING

The residence halls are available to all full-time day students.

page 43

There are five men s residence hails and two women s halls. Each
complex has a Resident Director and a staff of student Resident
Assistants.

All students living in the residence halls are required to par-
ticipate in the University meal plan. Meals are served in the Univer-
sity Center, nineteen meals are served each week. Ho breakfast is
served on Saturday or Sunday. Instead a brunch is served from mid-
morning until early afternoon. The evening meal is also served on
these days. Meal tickets are issued at registration.

HEALTH SERVICE

All resident students subscribe to a Basic Student Accident and
Sickness Insurance Plan provided by the University. Full-time
students living off campus may purchase this insurance. In addition
any student covered under the Basic Policy may purchase an op-
tional Major Medical Plan for an additional charge.

The University maintains a small health center staffed by a
registered nurse. The health center operates on a regular schedule,
and provides basic first aid service and limited medical assistance
for students.

A physician visits the health center twice a week to make general
diagnosis and treatment. In the event additional or major medical
care is required, the student patient will be referred to medical
specialists and hospitals in the area with which the health service
maintains a working relationship.

When it is determined that a student's physical or emotional
health is detrimental to the academic studies, group-living situation,
or other relationships at the University or in the community, the stu-
dent will be requested to withdraw. Readmission to the University will
be contingent upon acceptable verification that the student is ready
to return. The final decision will rest with the University.

Academic
Regulations

m

J ' " "' -^ '.... -.'v "'- . ^ -M. .v^ . i,.^...

CLASS ATTENDANCE

The University recognizes attendance at classes as the respon-
sibility of the student. Students are held accountable for all work
missed. The exact nature of absence regulations is determined by
the instructors for their own courses. Such regulations are published
and distributed by each professor at the beginning of each term.

GRADES

A letter grading system is used. The range of ' A-D" represents
passing work; any grade below D is regarded as a failure. Students
withdrawing from a course before the end of the semester are given a
"W" or "WF", depending upon the circumstances of the withdrawal.
Students who do not meet all the requirements of a course are given
an ']" (incomplete) at the end of the semester. If the requirements
are met by the end of the next term, the I is replaced by the regular
grade. If they are not met within this time, the grade automatically
becomes an "V." Grade structure and quality points are as follows:

A Superior 4.0

B Good 3.0

C Satisfactory 2.0

D Passing 1.0

r Failure 0.0

FA Failure: Excessive Absences 0.0

W Withdrawn 0.0

WF Withdrawn Failing 0.0

I Incomplete 0.0

P Passing (used in special cases) 0.0

AU Audit (no credit) 0.0

MINIMUM ACADEMIC AVERAGE

Though the grade of D is regarded as passing, the University
believes that students, in order to graduate, must exhibit more abili-
ty than that required by the lowest passing mark. Therefore, a stu-
dent, in order to graduate from Oglethorpe, must compile an over-all
minimum average of 2.2. ho student will be allowed to graduate
unless this minimum is met.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

A minimum of 120 semester hours is required, of which the last
sixty must be earned at Oglethorpe except in exceptional cases (see
page 18).

All core courses (or the equivalent for transfer students) plus a
major must be completed. Requirements for majors in the various

page 48

disciplines are listed under each section dealing with the major pro-
grams.

A minimum grade point average of 2.2 is necessary.

An application for a diploma must be filed with the Registrar at
least one semester prior to graduation.

The specific requirements for each degree must be completed.

All obligations to the institution must be discharged before a
degree is granted including a diploma fee.

The student must be approved formally for graduation by the
faculty.

MAJOR REQUIREMENTS

The requirements for specific majors vary among the disciplines.
Detailed requirements are listed in the sections dealing with majors.
The student is advised to consult frequently with an advisor to
satisfy both general and major requirements.

DEGREES

Oglethorpe offers four degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, and Master of Arts in

arrangement and in accord with regulations of the University, the
student may transfer to an accredited professional institution
such as law school, dental school, or medical school at the end of
the junior year and then, after one year in the professional school,
receive a degree from Oglethorpe. Students interested in this
possibility should consult with their mentors to make certain that all
conditions are met.

page 49

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL

normally the evaluation of academic progress is done at the end
of the Fall and Spring semesters. Any new students, freshman or
transfer students, who fail to pass any subject during their first
semester will be dismissed.

Academic probation is a strong warning to students that they
must make substantial progress toward reestablishing their good
standing during the following semester or be dismissed from the
University. Students on probation for two consecutive semesters will
be dismissed.

The following standards are used to determine good standing:

number of Hours Completed Grade Point Average

0-15 1.5

31-45 1.9

46-60 2.0

61-75 2.1

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.

CORE PROGRAM

At Oglethorpe University, each student is required to complete a
cohesive program of courses. It is the opinion of the faculty that

page 55

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 knowl-
edge and skills than is the planned and cohesive core which is re-
quired at Oglethorpe.

In addition, it continues to be University policy to provide instruc-
tion of the highest quality in the core courses. Ho 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 members of the faculty.

The following is the core program:

rreshman Seminar 1 hour

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
designation '3 plus 5" or '4 plus 4" indicates that the course carries
6 or 8 semester hours of credit, respectively, for two semesters of
work.

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 1, 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.

page 56

MAJOR PROGRAMS

Upon entering Oglethorpe University eacii student is assigned a
faculty mentor who assists him in the preparation of his 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 in-
clude three levels of courses: those prescribed for the major, directed

DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM IN ART

Students seeking a broadly based educational experience involv-
ing 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 Col-
lege of Art for approximately three years.

The student is required to complete 3 credit hours in Art Apprecia-
tion and at least 6 credit hours in Art Studio electives at Oglethorpe.
In addition, the student completes six credit hours in second
semester Foundation Design at The Atlanta College of Art, preferably
during the fourth semester at Oglethorpe. (This requirement or an
equal substitute must be met before the student is enrolled for in-
troductory Studio classes at ACA.)

Upon successful completion of all of the core requirements plus
the aforementioned art electives, the student enrolls at The Atlanta

page 57

College of Art and completes 78 credit hours in Introductory and Ad-
vanced studio and 12 credit hours in Art History electives.

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 par-
ticipating in the dual-degree program must meet the entrance re-
quirements 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 re-
quire the completion of courses in one of the branches of engineer-
ing.

The recommendation of the engineering advisory committee at
the end of the three years of liberal arts 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 preengineer-
ing schools are slightly different, the student is well advised to con-
sult early and frequently with the members of the engineering ad-
visory committee.

INDIVIDUALLY PLANNED MAJORS

An individually planned major must include the following: com-
pletion of the basic core requirements; completion of a sufficient
number of course hours to complete the 120 semester hours
prescribed for an Oglethorpe degree; completion of a coherent se-
quence of courses including 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); and
completion of at least 36 semester hours in courses designated as
advanced courses.

Among the majors of this type are Pre-Law, Pre-Medicine, Pre-
Seminary, Pre-Professlonal Health Studies. The degree awarded is a
Bachelor of Arts.

page 58

Pre-Medlcal/Pre-Professional Health Studies

Programs can be designed in the General Studies major that will
provide a student with appropriate background for admission to pro-
fessional schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy,
veterinary medicine, nursing, physical therapy and other allied
health fields. Specific course requirements for admission to the pro-
fessional schools vary, both with the individual school and with the
particular program, and students should plan their Oglethorpe
courses with the aim of fulfilling the specific admission require-
ments. Summaries of the admission requirements are given in
various publications available from the faculty in Oglethorpe s
Science Division. Pre-medical students, for example, should consult
the annual bulletin of Medical School Admission Requirements
published by the Association of American Medical Colleges. The
Oglethorpe Science Faculty are prepared to assist the student in con-
tacting professional schools, and the student should endeavor to do
this early in their course work at Oglethorpe and no later than their
second semester of studies. This will enable the student and the
Oglethorpe mentor to design the proper sequence of courses and to
establish an appropriate time frame for completion of requirements.

All schools of professional health science recognize the impor-
tance of cL broad education background. A coordinated program
which includes extensive study in the natural sciences and mathe-
matics, development of communication skills, and serious explora-
tion of the social sciences and humanities is most desirable. First
year courses should generally include General Biology 1 and II,
General Chemistry I and II, English Composition I and II and ap-
propriate Mathematics courses; courses In subsequent years are
chosen to fulfill the student's specific needs.

Professional option is available to highly qualified students seek-
ing admission to appropriately accredited colleges of medicine, den-
tistry and veterinary medicine. This option allows students to enter
their respective professional schools at the end of their junior year.
Credit is awarded at Oglethorpe for the academic credit earned dur-
ing the first year of professional school. In allied health fields, suc-
cessful completion of work in an accredited program and a
minimum of 60 semester hours credit earned at Oglethorpe must be
presented for a student to be considered for the degree Bachelor of
Arts in General Studies with a concentration in pre-professional
health studies.

Pre-Law

Undergraduate students planning to enter law school after
graduation from Oglethorpe should realize that neither leading law
schools nor the American Bar Association endorse a particular pre-
law major. The student is advised, however, to take courses that

page 59

enhance the basic skills of a liberally educated person; reading with
comprehension, writing, speaking, and reasoning in quantitative
terms. The student is encouraged to become more familiar with
political, economic, and social institutions as they have developed
historically and as they function in contemporary society. Students
are referred to the Pre-Law Handbook, which is available from the
prelaw advisors, for a more complete discussion of the desirable
aspects of a pre-law curriculum.

Pre-Seminary

Pre-seminary students should plan a liberal arts curriculum with
emphasis on philosophy, religion, English and foreign language
courses. A faculty mentor will aid in the selection of a particular field
of study. For further guidance, the chairman of the flumanities Divi-
sion makes available a list of courses recommended by the American
Association of Theological Schools. Juniors and seniors are en-
couraged to take an internship related to their course work.

FAR EASTERN STUDIES

The Oglethorpe University Far Eastern Summer Session offers an
exceptional opportunity for students to undertake a program of
study in several oriental cities. During the summer, students travel
in 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
humanities program. The purpose of the session is to broaden the
student s perspective by enhancing the understanding and apprecia-
tion of another culture.

COURSE or 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 instuctor who will provide the leadership for the in-
dependent 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.

APPLICATIori: Application forms and further information may be
obtained from the Director of the Far Eastern Tour. Students ac-
cepted in the program register at Oglethorpe University for the
following course in International Studies.

in several European cities. Typically these cities include London, Col-
ogne, Munich, Venice, Florence, Rome, Lucerne, and Paris. For three

page 71

weeks students travel in the milieu ot the great cultures ot Europe
and study the origin, nature, and achievements of those cultures.

The primary emphasis of this course is first hand experience
through tours of museums, palaces, factories, cathedrals, and
gardens, as well as visits to famous theatres for performances, to
monuments, prison-camp sites, and other points of historical in-
terest. Activities of the trip are designed to develop a knowledge and
appreciation of the historical and cultural heritage of the western
world in art, literature, architecture, and other areas.

This travel experience is preceded by a series of orientation ses-

3. Completion of Student Teaching. Apply for fall placement by
April 15 or for spring placement by October 15.

4. Completion of the entire approved program as found on the
following pages. Professional courses should be completed ac-
cording to the sequence listed in the approved program; detail-
ed programs may be obtained from the Education mentors.

Admission to Oglethorpe University does not admit a student to
the Teacher Education Program. A person doing satisfactory
academic work and approved by the Teacher Education Committee is

children and/or youth; demonstration of proficiency in oral and writ-
ten English; a cumulative average of at least 2.2 with no grade less
than "C" in any professional education course or in any teaching
field course required in the approved program; evidence of respon-
sibility in student endeavors.

page 89

Completion of the approved program is one of three required
steps toward teacher certification in Georgia. Students also have to
demonstrate competency in the subject field by making a satisfac-
tory score on a state administered criterion-referenced test and must
demonstrate the ability to perform competently in the classroom
setting. Forms needed to apply for the Georgia teaching certificate
are available in the office of the Director of Teacher Education.

Approved programs leading to teacher certification in Georgia are
described in the following sections. All approved programs include
the requirements for meeting core requirements at Oglethorpe. They
may require more general education than is required to meet the
core requirements for graduation, or they may require certain
courses which may be applied to the core; careful advisement is
necessary on the part of all students preparing to teach. Public
speaking is a suggested elective for all education majors.

EARLY CHILDHOOD AND MIDDLE GRADES EDUCATION

culminate in student teaching and in the content of the teaching
field. Teaching field courses for the early childhood major include all
content areas; teaching field courses for the middle grades include
five basic content areas and require two concentrations of approx-
imately 12 semester hours each.

PROGRAM

The Graduate Division offers work leading to the degree Master of
Arts in education with concentrations in early and middle grades.
Completion of the master s program requires the following steps:

1. Full admission to the Graduate Division.

2. Admission to Candidacy. Apply after completion of twelve
semester hours graduate credit at Oglethorpe.

3. Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive final examina-
tion. Apply after completion of all required courses but not
sooner than one semester prior to expected graduation.

4. Completion of thirty-six semester hours approved credit. Ap-
plication for diploma should be made during the semester of
anticipated completion of degree requirements.

ORGANIZATION

The Graduate Division is organized as one of the six academic
divisions of the University. All graduate work is administered by the
Graduate Division, which is governed by the Graduate Council under
the policies of the University. The Graduate Council is the policy-
making body chosen from the graduate faculty and administration,
under the leadership of the chairman of the Graduate Division.

The purposes of the graduate program are to provide well-
qualified students with the opportunity to obtain the first graduate
degree, to provide members of the teaching profession with the op-
portunity to enhance their competencies and knowledge in the area
of elementary education, including the opportunity for those
teachers not desiring a graduate degree to enhance their knowledge
and skills. Inherent in the guiding philosophy is the assumption that
graduate study includes more than the passing of prescribed
courses and the meeting of minimum requirements. All students
who receive graduate degrees must possess a broad knowledge of
the literature of their field of study, be capable of sustained study, ex-
hibit the power of independent thinking, and possess reasonable
knowledge of the techniques of research.

ADMISSION

Upon recommendation of the chairman of the Graduate Council
and approval of the Graduate Council, a person holding a bachelor s
degree from an accredited college or university may be admitted to
the Graduate Division. In addition to general requirements prescrib-
ed, the applicant must submit transcripts of all previous work com-
pleted, satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination (Ap-
titude Test), two recommendations (form provided) from previous

page 108

colleges attended and /or employers and, when deemed necessary,
take validating examinations or preparatory work. Candidates not
previously prepared for teaching must meet requirements for first
professional certification before completing requirements for the
master's degree.

PROCEDURE

Application forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions
of the University. Completed forms should be returned to the Office
of Admissions as soon as possible but at least twenty days prior to
the term in which the applicant expects to enroll. These forms
should be accompanied by a $20.00 application fee
(non-refundable). All material (completed forms, fee, transcripts, and
test scores) should be sent directly to the Office of Admissions, Ogle-
thorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia 30319. To insure proper con-
sideration, all documents must be on hand at least twenty days prior
to the proposed time of enrollment. All documents become the pro-
perty of the University and will not be returned.

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 en-
trance, if applicable. Otherwise, the original admissions will be
canceled, the file discontinued, and a new application may be re-
quired for admission at a later date.

Admission to the Graduate Division does not imply ultimate ac-
ceptance as a candidate for an advanced degree. For admission to
candidacy, see the section Admission to Candidacy.

Information concerning the administration of the Graduate Rec-
ord Examination may be obtained from the Office of Admissions or
by writing: Education Testing Service, Princeton, Fiew Jersey 08540.

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 ad-
mitted 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 chair-
man of the Graduate Division for reclassification when the condi-

page 109

tions 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 bachelors 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 admis-
sion to graduate study except for the degree, and (3) the total load In
a semester would not exceed fifteen semester hours. Under no cir-
cumstances may a course be used for both graduate and under-
graduate 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 stu-
dent admitted on this basis should understand that registration ter-
minates upon the completion of the work authorized by the degree
granting institution. If later electing to seek a degree from Ogle-
thorpe University, the student must make formal application for ad-
mission and may petition to have credit earned as a transient stu-
dent applied toward the degree at the 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.

REGISTRATION

Registration dates for each term are listed on page 5 of this pub-
lication. 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. Graduate summer sessions may vary slightly either
as to dates or length of course.

COURSES AND LOADS

Courses numbered 6000 are open only to graduate students.
Some 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.

page 1 10

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 assign-
ed to a member of the graduate faculty in education who serves as
advisor and guides the student in planning a program of study.

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
1 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 com-
pletion of the work within one year or the I becomes an F.
W Official withdrawal may be permitted if the student's pro-
gress is interrupted by Illness or other emergencies.
