Over a quarter of a century ago, Philip Weltner, then President of the
University, wrote an introduction to the catalog in which he expressed his
ideas about the aims and purpose of the college. Oglethorpe 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 between the
'academic' and 'practical,' between 'human understanding' and 'know-
how,' between 'culture' and 'proficiency,' between past and present. We
are persuaded that there is ultimately no contradiction between the
concepts represented in each of these usually divorced pairs.

"There can be no basic disagreement among educators and laymen
about the common elements of the student's real needs and interests. 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 living. 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 community 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 influence for good in
their community and earn a living by honest effort. 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 contacts go
beyond the living and embrace the seers of all the ages, who as his
companions should inform his mind and enlarge his vision.

page 5

"We therefore stand for a program of studies which makes sense from
first to last, which hangs together, and which promotes this desired result.
Not only in professional training but also in the education of the human
personality, the materials of instruction must have a beginning point in a
definite direction, and prepare for all that ensues. 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 their fellows. Living in community, with
human understanding, involves 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
life, 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 Oglethorpe
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 one's membership in an academic community dedicated
to the intelligent pursuit of the means to a better world. Our core ot
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 influenced
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 patterned 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 uniquely
American institution created by the Morrill Act, passed by Congress in
1862. This model emphasizes large-scale technical education 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. Estblished 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 education, but it
has certainly been shaped principally by the English tradition of collegiate
education.

page 8

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 Newman's The Idea of a University, one of the great
educational classics. I shall mention only five characteristics that have
made this kind of college widely admired:

IThe colleges in the English tradition emphasize broad education
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 com-
petencies - 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 indispens-
able 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 important 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 antithesis of the English tradition.

A A collegiate education is far more than simply "taking" courses.

jT It is a process of development in which campus leadership
opportunities, residential life, athletics, formal and informal 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 aptitute for leadership and no
interest in ideas or theoretical questions. At Oglethorpe 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
1 977 Annual Report.

History

v

One of the South's 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 Midway,
a small town near Milledgeville, then the state capitol, with one hundred
and twenty-five students and a faculty of six.

For nearly three decades after its founding, Oglethorpe University grew
steadily in stature and influence. Its president during most of the time,
Samuel K. Talmage, provide 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 college 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 destructive 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 determination
of Thornwell Jacobs, a noted Presbyterian minister, to reestablish
Oglethorpe. He enlisted the support of Presbyterian churches 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 substantial contributions
from individuals such as J.T. Lupton, Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, and William
Randolph Hearst, Sr. With these and other contributions several
buildings were constructed, including Lupton Hall, site of the present
administration building; Lowry Hall, the University's library; and Hearst
Hall, which now serves as a classroom facility.

page 11

Oglethorpe, under the leadership of Dr. Jacobs, was soon recognized as
one of the South's 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 o( books and other objects representative of 20th Century
America, which is to remain sealed until the year 8113, 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 o{
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
administration, including an unsuccessful attempt to relocate the remains
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 treachers were
appointed, the academic program was further developed, and there was a
gradual expansion of the size of the student body. Special mention should
also be made of George Seward, who contributed importantly to the
educational development of the University, as a longtime 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. During his administration
the following buildings were completed: five men's dormitories -Jacobs,
Weltner, Alumni, Oglethorpe, and Trustees; a beautiful university center;
a women's dormitory, Traer Hall; and a science center, Goslin Hall. In
addition, all of the older buildings were extensively remodeled, giving
Oglethorpe an attractive campus and an excellent physical plant.

page 12

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 experience and as
preparation for leadership. The expansion of Oglethorpe's program of
continuing education, the attraction of students from abroad, increasing
selectivity in admissions, and the acceleration of financial development
are other areas that have received particular 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.

THE STUDENT CENTER

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

LUPTQN 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 contains 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 oi the Dean, the Registrar, and the

second floor. The Office of Financial Aid is on the third 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-Gothic
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 office
building. Most classes, with the exception of science and mathematics, 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
o{ many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe. Located on 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

Goslin Hall was completed in 1971 and houses the Division of Science.
Laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics, and modern lecture halls,
are located in the building. Goslin Hall was named in honor of Dr. Roy N.
Goslin, 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 Foundation, was opened in 1979.

page 16

TRAER HALL

Built in 1969, Traer Hall is a three-story women's residence which
houses 168 students. Construction of the building was made possible
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 are all buildings on the Oglethorpe campus,
Traer Hall is completely air-conditioned.

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 adjacent to Goodman Hall
are three newly resurfaced tennis courts.

MEN'S RESIDENCE HALL COMPLEX

Five men's residence halls are situated around the upper quadrangle.
Two of the buildings were named for former Oglethorpe presidents, Dr.
Philip Weltner and Dr. Thorn well 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 tor 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 Trustee 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 improvements provide
modern facilities for the soccer and track teams. The intramural football
and softball teams use the new facilities as well.

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 probable 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 the SAT or ACT. In recent
years, the Admissions Committee 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 satisfactory high
school program. In addition, the student must submit satisfactory scores on
the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination
Board, or American College Testing Program 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 or earlier. 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 Entrance
Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, N.J. 08540.

The Oglethorpe application form contains a list of the materials which
must be submitted by the applicant. No 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 Admissions 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 announced 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 programs 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.

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM-CLEP

Within the testing program are two categories. The General
Examinations cover the areas of English Composition, Humanities,
Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Science - History. A

page 19

maximum 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 Examinations
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 Examination
Board to submit their scores for consideration toward college 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; exemption but not credit will be given in the
appropriate area from basic courses for students presenting a grade of 3;
neither credit nor exemption 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 decision of the
Admissions Committee in the regular way.

The same information is required of the transfer student as tor 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 current and previous
college work. A separate official transcript from each college attended
must be received before any action will be taken on the application.

page 20

Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses comparable
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, two years of transfer work is
the maximum given without such decision, 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 institution
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 Admissions
Committee.

Transfer students having a GPA 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 II).

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 appropriate
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 (USAFI) 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:

1. Five years since high school attendance

2. High school graduate or successful passage of General Education
Development test

If a special student completes 15 semester hours at Oglethorpe and
desires to continue, he will automatically be required to apply for change of

page 21

status to degree-seeking and be subject to the same requirements 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 any course offered by the university,
provided that they secure permission from their current institution
certifying that the institution will accept for transfer credit the academic
work done by the student at Oglethorpe. This permission is the
responsibility of the transient student.

A letter of good standing or a current transcript must be sent to the
admissions office before a transient student can be accepted.

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.

Financial
Assistance

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 Educational Opportunity Grant) and
the Georgia Incentive Scholarship if a resident. In completing the
Financial Aid Form, the student will receive an acknowledgement from
College Scholarship Service and his Student Aid 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:

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 and a rationing formula published by
the government. Applications for this program 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 (SEOG) do not

require repayment. The size of the grant depends on the need of the
individual recipient. To qualify for an SEOG, a student must be enrolled or
accepted for enrollment, and must be capable of maintaining normal
progress toward the achievement of a degree. Application for these funds is
made by filing a Financial Aid Form.

National Direct Student Loans (NDSL), are long-term, low cost
educational loans to students who 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 five
percent annual rate beginning six months after the borrower's education 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 1 - 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 (CWSP) 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.

page 26

Georgia Incentive Scholarship (GIS), 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 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.

Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG) is available for Georgia
residents who attend full-time and seek their degree at Oglethorpe. 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 was $700.00 per academic year. Financial need is not a
factor in determining eligibility. A separate application is required.

Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) and Federally Insured Student
Loans (FISL) 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 Financial Aid for additional
information. A student must earn thirty (30) semester hours each twelve
months in order to continue to receive this loan.

Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) 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 additional information.

Oglethorpe Merit Awards for Scholarship (OMAS) are awarded in
amounts from $500 to $2000. 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 activities, leadership,
citizenship, and potential for success constitute important criteria for
awarding these scholarships. The OMAS 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 ACT, 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 candidate's secondary school.

page 27

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 are eligible to
apply for Ty Cobb Scholarships. No applications from undergraduate
students who are married will be considered. The Faculty Scholarship
Committee makes recommendations for these scholarships each year.

Dual-degree students in art and engineering will not be allowed to
extend Oglethorpe scholarship and funds to other institutions after Fall
Semester, 1982.

Additional information may be secured from the Office of Financial
Aid.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants for a Pell Grant, National Direct Student Loan,
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, College Work-Study
Guaranteed Student Loan or Parent Loan must meet the following criteria:

1. Student must be a U.S. citizen, national or permanent resident.

2. Be enrolled on at least half-time basis (6 hours) in a regular degree-
seeking program.

3. Student must maintain "satisfactory progress" in the course of study.
Satisfactory progress means that a student must earn twenty-four (24)
semester hours each twelve months in order to continue receiving
financial aid. Part-time students must complete 75% of the hours for
which they register.

In addition, students must remain in good standing. The following
standards are used to determine good standing:

Number of Hours Completed Grade Point Average

0-15 1.5

16-30 1.7

31-45 1.9

46-60 2.0

61-75 2.1

76 and above 2.2

A student determined by the Director o{ Financial Aid not to be
meeting these standards will not receive financial assistance. However, a

page 28

determination may be withheld for a semester if illness, injury, or disability
can be proven to be factors contributing directly to the student's poor
performance.

Students not making satisfactory progress may re-establish eligibility
when they have earned the required twenty-four hours and obtained the
respective cumulative grade point average. All applicants who re-establish
their eligibility must have an appointment with the Director of Financial
Aid prior to receiving financial aid again.

4. Students may not be in default on a student loan or obligated to pay a
refund on a previous federal program.

5. Establish financial need by filing a Financial Aid Form.

6. Be an undergraduate student who has not previously received a

National Direct Student Loan or the College Work-Study Programs.

or order who by direction of his/her community, society, or order is
pursuing a course of study at Oglethorpe, and who receives support and
maintenance from his community, society, or order.

PAYMENT OF AWARDS

All awards, except College Woork-Study earnings, are disbursed to

in order to be considered for an award.

Recipients of funds from this program will be expected to maintain
specified levels of academic achievement and to continue to make
significant contributions to their respective activities. Each award is for

be determined in October and will be approximately 10% higher.

The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents only 65% of
the actual expense of educating each student, the balance coming from
endowment income, gifts, and other sources. Thus, every Oglethorpe
undergraduate is the beneficiary of a hidden scholarship. At the same
time, 75 percent of the students are awarded additional financial assistance
in the form of scholarships, grants, and loans from private, governmental,
or institutional sources.

The tuition is $1,995 per semester. Room and board is $1,095 per
semester. Students who desire single rooms are assessed an additional $215

taking more than 16 hours during a semester are charged $70 for each
additional hour. Payment of tuition and fees is due two weeks prior to

will result in the cancellation of the student's registration. Students
receiving financial aid are required to pay the difference between the
amount of their aid and the amount due by the deadline. Students and

lending institutions or other sources such as Tuition Plan, Inc. New
students who require on-campus housing for the Fall term are required to
submit an advance deposit of $200. New communting students are

PART-TIME FEES

Fees for 1983-84 will be approximately 10% higher than that listed
below.

Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the Fall or Spring
semesters will be charged $ 1 40 per semester hour. This rate is applicable to
those students taking eleven semester hours or less. Students taking twelve

EVENING SCHOOL FEES

Fees for 1983-84 will be approximately 10% higher than that listed
below.

Students who are enrolled as evening school students will be charged

a student must take all courses in the evening. The rate for four-hour lab
courses is $315 including a $15 laboratory fee.

SUMMER SCHOOL FEES

Fees for 1983-84 will be approximately 10% higher than those listed
below.

All students enrolled in Summer School will be assessed $240 per three
semester hour course. The rate for four-hour lab courses is $320 including a

page 39

Students desiring residence hall and food service accommodations are
charged $365 per five-week session for a double room, $435-$450 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 many 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 instructor
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 consecutive classes. This will result in an automatic decrease in
payments to the student. Reinstatement in a course is at the discretion 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 Financial Aid must sign the withdrwal 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. The University
has 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 tee is not
retained by the University, it will not be refunded after registration day. A

page 40

$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 withdrawal 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.
No refund will be processed until classes have ceased for the semester in
progress.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of leader-
ship 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 experiences are planned to
help the student acquire the arts of leadership.

Education for leadership must be based on the essential academic
competencies - reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning. 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 advanced 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 leadership in the
improvement of our community and our society.

ORIENTATION-FRESHMAN SEMINAR

Oglethorpe University wishes to provide for each student the opportun-
ity 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 sessions will meet
the needs of the developing student and will help the student assimilate his
college experiences. Freshman students, having completed the
orientation program and the series of seminars, will be better prepared to
understand and appreciate their educational development.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply concerned
with the total development of the individual as a competent student and as
a highly responsible citizen both on the campus and in the community.

page 43

The University's high standard of personal conduct 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-government.
The Oglethorpe University Student Association, consisting of the
President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Parliamentarian of
O.S. A. and the Presidents of the four classes, is the guiding and governing
organization o( student life at the University. Meetings are held regularly
and notices posted. All students are urged to attend. 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

page 44

organizations associated with their interests and goals. The value of a
student's participation is a major consideration in determining
scholarships.

FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES

University social fraternities were re-instituted at Oglethorpe in 1967;
sororities followed in 1968. At present three fraternities and two sororities
contribute to the Greek system at Oglethorpe.

The three fraternities are Chi Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Kappa
Alpha. The national sororities are Chi Omega and Delta Zeta.

These social organizations, contribute substantially to the spirtitual and
social betterment of the individual and develop college into a richer, fuller
experience. Membership in these organizations is voluntary and subject to
regulations imposed by the groups, the Interfraternity Council, the
Panhellenic Council, and the University.

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 ability of the student. However,
Oglethorpe provides a program of Leadership 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 program
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.

page 46

COUNSELING

The Counseling Service at Oglethorpe provides confidential profes-
sional 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 regarding possible contributing
factors. Assistance in developing effective study skills is also available both
in special workshops and, if 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 Office of
Career Development. An extensive career development library is
maintained containing information on a wide variety of career
opportunities. 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 interested
students. The program provides guidance with career decisions 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 complete 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 South's greatest city offers Oglethorpe
students many cultural advantages. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
performs during the fall and winter months in the Memorial Arts Center.
The Atlanta Ballet Company schedules performances from November
through March. Both The Theatre of the Stars and the Alliance Theatre
Company present productions of contemporary and classical plays. These

page 47

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. There are
five men's residence halls 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 participate in
the University meal plan. Meals are served in the University Center.
Nineteen meals are served each week. No 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 optional 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 his academic studies, group-living situation, or other
relationships at the University or in the community, the student 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.

"O" BOOK

The "O" Book is the student handbook of Oglethorpe University. It
contains thorough information on the history, customs, traditional
events, and services of the University, as well as all University regulations.
This publication provides all the necessary information about the
University which will aid each student in adjusting to college life.

page 48

Academic
Regulations

CLASS ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance at classes, laboratories and examinations is a
student obligation, and unexcused absence is not recognized as a student
privilege by the faculty of Oglethorpe University. Students are expected to
give a reason for their absence to individual faculty members and to make
up all work missed due to the absence. Individual faculty members set
exact attendance regulations for their courses; such regulations are
published and distributed by each faculty member 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 "I" (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 "F." Grade structure and quality
points are as follows:

A Superior 4-0

B Good 3.0

C Satisfactory 2.0

D Passing 1.0

F 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 ability then that
required by the lowest passing mark. Therefore, a student, in order to
graduate from Oglethorpe, must compile an over-all minimum average of
2.2. No 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 21).

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

page 52

listed under each section dealing with the major programs.

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.

page 53

DEGREES

Oglethorpe offers four degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science,
Bachelor of Business Administration, and Master of Arts in Education. For
the Bachelor of Arts degree majors are offered in the following areas:
American Studies, Business Administration and Behavioral Sciences,
Economics, Education (Early Childhood, Middle Grades and Secondary -
with concentrations available in English, Mathematics, Science and
Social Studies), English, General Studies, History, International Studies,
Philosophy, Political Studies, Psychology, and Sociology. For the
Bachelor of Science degree majors are offered in the following fields:
Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Medical Technology. For
the Bachelor of Business Administration degree majors are offered in
Accounting, Business Administration, and Economics.

Under certain conditions it is also possible for a student to receive a
degree from Oglethorpe under "Professional option." Through this
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.

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 all their courses 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

16-30

1.7

31-45

1.9

46-60

2.0

61-75

2.1

76 and above

2.2

Any student who fails to meet these minimum standards is placed on
probation.

Dismissals are subject to review by the Faculty Council. A student who
has been dismissed may be reinstated only upon petition to the Faculty
Council. A petition may be filed with the Registrar after an absence of one
semester.

page 54

STUDENT'S CLASSIFICATION

For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes,
students are classified according to the number of semester hours
successfully completed. Classification is as follows: to 30 hours -
freshman; 31 to 60 hours - sophomore; 61 to 90 hours - junior; 91 hours
and above - senior.

NORMAL ACADEMIC LOAD

A normal academic program at Oglethorpe consists of no less than four
courses each semester, but generally five courses are taken, giving the
student a total of twelve to sixteen semester hours each term. Regular
students in the day classes are expected to carry a normal load and to pay
for a full schedule of courses. Students other than transient and night
students taking a reduced load will pay the rate published by the
University.

THE DEAN'S LIST

Students who earn an average of 3.3 or better in any given semester for
an academic load of at least five courses are given the distinction of being
placed on the Dean's List.

DEGREES WITH HONORS

Degrees with honors are awarded as follows: for a cumulative average of
3.5, the degree cum laude; for a cumulative average 3. 7, the degree magna
cum laude; for a cumulative average of 3.9, the degree summa cum laude.
To be eligible for graduation with honors, a student must complete the last
60 semester hours of work at Oglethorpe.

ACCESS TO STUDENTS RECORDS

To comply with the Family Educational and Privacy Act of 1974,
commonly called the Buckley Amendment, Oglethorpe University
informs the students of their rights under this act in the student handbook,
The "O" Book. Three basic rights are covered by this act: ( 1 ) the student's
right to have access to personal records, (2) the right of a hearing to
challenge the content of a record and, (3) the right to give consent for the
release of identifying data. Additional information may be obtained from
The "O" Book and from the Office of the Dean.

SEMESTER SYSTEM

Oglethorpe University operates under the semester system during the academic
year. Two summer sessions of five weeks each, plus a ten week session in the
evening make up the summer schedule.

DIVISION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION

The University's Division of Continuing Education offers a variety of
educational opportunities to adults in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
Included are credit courses in the liberal arts and business, non-credit
courses, and educational experiences designed to meet the specific needs
of employers of organizations and members of vocational groups.

DEGREE PROGRAM

An evening-weekend credit program serves two groups: those wishing
to take a limited number of courses for special purposes and those who
desire to earn baccalaureate degrees. Degree programs are offered in
Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, and General Studies.
Classes meet two nights a week (Monday and Wednesday; Tuesday and
Thursday) and on Saturday mornings. The academic year is divided into
three full terms - Fall, Spring and Summer - and an abbreviated term in
May. To qualify for the special tuition rates offered evening-weekend
students a student must take all courses in the evening or on Saturdays.

NON-CREDIT COURSE PROGRAM

The Division of Continuing Education serves as the University's
community service arm as it provides non-credit courses for adults.
Carefully planned courses meet varying educational needs of adults living
in the University's area. Classes meet on weekday evenings in Fall, Winter
and Spring terms.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Training needs of business, industry, government and vocational groups
in the north Atlanta area are met through individually designed seminars,
workshops and conferences. Emphasis is placed on training for managers,

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 o{ the faculty that these

page 59

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.

MAJOR PROGRAMS

Upon entering Oglethorpe University each 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 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. Major programs are
offered in the following areas:

Accounting General Studies

American Studies History

Biology International Studies

Business Administration and Mathematics

Behaviorial Sciences Medical Technology

Chemistry Philosophy

Economics Physics

Education-Early Childhood Political Studies

Education-Middle Grades Psychology

Education-Secondary 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 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 introductory Studio classes at
ACA.)

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

page 61

of Art and completes 78 credit hours in Introductory and Advanced 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 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 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 preengineering schools are slightly different, the
student is well advised to consult early and frequently with the members of
the engineering advisory committee.

INDIVIDUALLY PLANNED MAJORS

An individually planned major must include the following: completion
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 sequence 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-Professional Health Studies. The degree awarded is a
Bachelor of Arts.

Pre-Medical/Pre-Professional Health Studies

Programs can be designed in the General Studies major that will provide
a student with appropriate background tor admission to professional
schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, veterinary

page 62

medicine, nursing, physical therapy and other allied health fields. Specific
course requirements for admission to the professional 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 requirements. 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 contacting 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 importance of a
broad education background. A coordinated program which includes
extensive study in the natural sciences and mathematics, development of
communication skills, and serious exploration of the social sciences and
humanities is most desirable. First year courses should generally include
General Biology I and II, General Chemistry I and II, English
Composition I and II and appropriate Mathematics courses; courses in
subsequent years are chosen to fulfill the student's specific needs.

Professional option is available to highly qualified students seeking
admission to appropriately accredited colleges of medicine, dentistry 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 during the first year of
professional school. In allied health fields, successful 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 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 pre-law advisors, for a more complete discussion of the desirable
aspects of a pre-law curriculum.

page 63

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 Humanities Division makes
available a list of courses recommended by the American Association of
Theological Schools. Juniors and seniors are encouraged to take an
internship related to their course work.

International Studies. Students who choose one of these majors should
notify the Registrar so that an appropriate advisor may be assigned.

Oglethorpe University

Atlanta, Georgia 30319
or call 233-6864 or 261-1441

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

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 opportunity to enhance their competencies and
knowledge in the area of elementary education, including the opportunity tor
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, exhibit the power of independent thinking, and possess reasonable
knowledge of the techniques of research.

page 116
