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. page 6 Jethorpe U N IJVERSITY" 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. page 9 lethorpe U N IIVERSITY 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.

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 alumnus), 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 program 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 acquisitions 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 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 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 page 15 ^^*SI 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. page 17 lethorpe U N I1VERS1TY 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. Admission is offered in the fall, spring, and summer terms. Interviews 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 includes 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. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Admission to Oglethorpe is open to qualified students trom all nations. Students who are able to provide evidence o\ suitable academic background, adequate financial resources, and seriousness ot purpose are eligible to apply. page 22 All students from nations where English is not the native language must meet one of the following requirements to be considered for admission: 1.

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 Bachelor's degree. Graduate students may apply for financial aid from the National Direct Student Loan or the College Work-Study Programs. 7. Applicants may not be a member of a religious community, society, 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 students by means of a direct credit to their account. Each semester transfer is dependent upon final approval of the Director of Financial Aid. Each student must acknowledge receipt of the awards prior to their being credited to a student's account.

The fees for 1983-84 will be determined in October and will be approximately 10% higher.

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.

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. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS The following student organizations sponsor active programs on the campus: Accounting Club Alpha Chi - National Academic Honorary Alpha Phi Omega - National Service Fraternity Alpha Psi Omega - Drama Honorary Beta Omicron Sigma - Business Honorary Black Student Caucus Catholic Student Organization Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society Collegiate Chorale Digression - Science Fiction Club English Club Fellowship of Christian Athletes Freshman Honor Society - Local Scholastic Honorary Hillel Foundation International Club Karate Club Oglethorpe Christian Fellowship Oglethorpe "O" Club - Varsity Letter Winners Oglethorpe Players - Dramatic Society Omicron Delta Kappa - Leadership, Scholarship and Service Honorary Outdoors Club Phi Alpha Theta - National History Honorary Politics and Pre-Law Association Psychology and Sociology Club Rudd - Social Organization Sigma Zeta - National Science Honorary Stormy Petrel - Student Newspaper Student Education Association - Preprofessional Education Association Thalian Society - Philosophical Organization The Tower - Literary Magazine Toastmasters Club Yamacraw - Student Yearbook 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. page 45 n ^ ~~JT~ < Tt +~^~ M *u X i^i-?2 ! / ^^"LP^^^l I^T a^xR=iK 1 <+ M J ft < '< la- 111 If *AT U 1 3 i' ! rtf H i i nit 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 HONORS Each year a number of awards and prizes are given to the students. Among them are the following: The Donald C. Agnew Award For Distinguished Service: This award is presented annually by the Oglethorpe Student Association and chosen by that body to honor the person who, in their opinion, has given distinguished service to the 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. page 55 lethorpe U N I1VERSITY 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, with a Certificate in Management awarded to individuals who complete the prescribed" course of study. Additional information is available from Dean of Continuing Education at (404) 233-6662. page 57 lethorpe U N IIVERSITY The Curriculum ORGANIZATION Oglethorpe's curriculum is arranged in six general divisions: Humanities; Social Studies; Science; Education and Behavioral Sciences; Business and Economics; and Graduate Studies. Academic areas included within each are the following: Division I: The Humanities English Literature Foreign Languages Music Philosophy Religion Division II: Social Studies History Political Studies Division III: Science Biology Chemistry Mathematics Medical Technology Physics Division IV: Education and Behavioral Sciences Early Childhood Education Middle Grades Education Secondary Education Psychology Sociology Social Work Division V: Business and Economics Accounting Business Administration Economics Division VI: Graduate M.A. Early Childhood and Middle Grades Education Interdisciplinary Offerings American Studies Business Administration and Behavioral Sciences International Studies Physical Fitness 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. In addition, it continues to be University policy to provide instruction of the highest quality in the core courses. No graduate assistants are used. The courses are taught by well-trained faculty members. It is not unusual to find a large percentage of these courses taught by senior members of the faculty. The following is the core program: Freshman Seminar 1 hour 'English Composition . 0-9 hours (required of Freshman only) One of the following . . . 3 hours Western Civilization I Music Appreciation and II 6 hours Art Appreciation Introduction to Two of the following ... 6 hours Political Studies 3 hours American Literature I One of the following .... 3 hours American Literature II Modern World English Literature I International Relations English Literature II Constitutional Law English Literature III American History English Literature IV Introduction to Economics . 3 hours Western World Literature I Introduction to Sociology . 3 hours Western World Literature II Introduction to Psychology . 3 hours Mathematics 3 hours One of the following .... 3 hours * * Biological Science ... 3 hours Introduction to Philosophy * 'Physical Science . . . 3 hours Ethics and Social Issues COURSES OF STUDY In the following section, the courses are listed numerically by area within their respective Divisions. Each course is designated by a tour 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 oi necessary prerequisites. The number of hours refers to the semester hours credit per term allowed for the course. The designation "3 plus 3" or "4 plus 4" indicates that the course carries 6 or 8 semester hours of credit, respectively, for two semester 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. 'General Biology I and General Biology II may be substituted tor this requirement. 'One of the following may be substituted for this requirement General Chemistry I, General Chemistry II, General Physics I, General Physics II, College Physics I, Principles of Science I, Principles of Science II. page 60 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 English 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. INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS Interdisciplinary majors are offered in American Studies and International Studies. Students who choose one of these majors should notify the Registrar so that an appropriate advisor may be assigned. AMERICAN STUDIES This major allows students to take courses in a number of disciplines. The required courses in American Literature and American History may not be used to satisfy core requirements. The course in Introduction to American Studies should be taken in the sophomore year. The seminar courses are to be taken in the junior and senior years.
