Tradition and
Purpose

Oglethorpe derives its educational mission from an awareness and
appreciation of the University's heritage and from an analysis of the needs
of a rapidly changing society.

Tradition

Three main ideas or models of what higher education ought to be have
shaped American colleges and universities. 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 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.
Established in 183 5 and named after General lames 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.

What are the distinctive features of that tradition? Hundreds of books
have been written on the subject, perhaps the most influential of which is
lohn Henry Newman's The Idea of a University, one of the great educational
classics. Briefly stated, four characteristics have made this kind of college
widely admired:

1) Colleges in the English tradition emphasize broad education for in-
telligent leadership. They believe that this is a more useful undergraduate
education for the able young person than technical training for a specific job.

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

3) Close relationships between teacher and student are indispensable
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.

4) A collegiate education is far more than simply "taking" courses. It
is a process of development in which campus leadership opportunities,
residential life, athletics, formal and 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 this type of undergraduate education.

TWo other aspects of Oglethorpe's tradition were contributed by Philip
Weltner, president of the University from 1944 to 1953. Dr. Weltner viewed
education in the arts and sciences as entirely consistent with and, in fact, the
best kind of initial preparation for a career. In an essay entitled the "Oglethorpe
Idea ' he advocated an educational experience designed to forge the strongest
possible links between academic competencies and the skills needed in ones
career. He stressed that an Oglethorpe education should prepare the student
to make a life and to make a living. Secondly, Dr. Weltner articulated a con-
ception of Oglethorpe's role that has endured as a fundamental principle of
the University. Oglethorpe, he said, should strive to be . . . "a small college
which is superlatively good." Only at a small college with carefully selected
students and faculty, he believed, could young persons achieve their fullest
intellectual development through an intense dialogue with extraordinary
teachers. Thus, limited size and an emphasis on superior performance are
essential characteristics of Oglethorpe today.

Preparation for a Changing Society

The rapidly changing society in which we live places a premium on
adaptability. Persons in positions of leadership must be able to function
effectively in changing circumstances. Rigid specialization, with its training in
current practice, ill prepares a college graduate for responsibilities in such
a society. The broadly educated person, schooled in fundamental principles,
is better equipped to exercise leadership in a world that is being transformed
by high technology and new information. This point has been well made by
John Naisbitt in the first chapter of his notable book Megatrends. One of the
underlying trends he identifies in our society is that "we are moving from
the specialist who is soon obsolete to the generalist who can adapt." This
is the reason for Oglethorpe's emphasis on the preparation of the humane
generalist the kind of leader needed by a complex and changing society.

Purposes

In striving to combine excellence with a personalized approach in its
curriculum, campus life, and student activities, Oglethorpe seeks to reflect
this tradition and to produce graduates who display particular abilities, skills,
intellectual attitudes, and sensitivities. These attributes are seen as
indispensable to the educated person and as having been neglected in many
schools and colleges in recent years. They are:

1) The ability to comprehend English prose at an advanced level.

2) The ability to convey ideas in writing and in speech accurately,
grammatically, and persuasively.

3) Skill in reasoning logically about important matters.

4) An understanding of Western civilization and of the values and
principles that have shaped it.

5) A knowledge and appreciation of great literature, especially the great
literature of the English-speaking world.

6) An appreciation of great art and great music and some understanding
of why they are great.

7) An acquaintance with the methods of inquiry of mathematics and
science and with the results of the efforts of scientists to understand physical
and biological phenomena.

8) An understanding of the most thoughtful reflections on right and
wrong and an allegiance to principles of right conduct.

9) A basic knowledge of our economic and political systems and of
the psychological and sociological influences on human behavior.

10) A deeper grasp of one or more fields of knowledge organized
coherently as a major.

11) An inclination to continue ones learning after graduation from college
and skill in the use of books and other intellectual tools for that purpose.

12) The willingness and ability to assume the responsibilities of leadership
in public and private life. This includes skill in organizing the efforts of other
persons in behalf of worthy causes.

These are the educational goals that all Oglethorpe students are
expected to achieve, and the "core courses" are the principal means of doing
so. The student's major mentioned in 10) above may be pursued in a single
field, such as biology, economics, or English: or it may cut across two or more
traditional fields (an interdisciplinary or individually planned major). In addition
to majors in the arts and sciences the University offers professional programs
in business administration and teacher education, both of which are based
on an arts and sciences foundation.

The success of Oglethorpe alumni in their personal lives, in graduate
and professional schools, and in a wide variety of occupations attests to the
balance and the thoroughness of this curriculum.

Oglethorpe was chartered on December 21, 183 5, as a result of the
efforts of a group of Georgia Presbyterians. The founders named the new
college after General lames Edward Oglethorpe, the distinguished leader of
Georgia in its earliest days.

The University began operations on lanuary 1 , 1 838, at Midway, a small
town near Milledgeville, then the state capital, with 1 2 5 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, provided gifted leadership and gathered about him a faculty of
unusual ability, at least two of whom would achieve national distinctions:
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 distinguished 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 stability and academic soundness, but its life and service were
suddenly cut short in the 1 860'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. Shermans 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 lacobs, 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. lacobs was subsequently named president, serving in that capacity
until 1944. During that time the University grew in size and reputation.
Throughout the 1 920's the institution received substantial contributions from
individuals such as j. T. Lupton, Mrs. Robert I. 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.

Oglethorpe, under the leadership of Dr. lacobs, was soon recognized
as one of the South's most innovative educational institutions. In 1931, WITL,
one of the first campus radio stations in the United States, was established
at Oglethorpe. A few years later. Dr. lacobs began his work on "The Crypt

10

of Civilization, " located in a vault in Phoebe Hearst Hall. This is a collection
of books and other objects representative of 20th Century America, which
is to remain sealed until the year 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 of the Radio Corporation of America
(R.C.A.), spoke at the dedication of the Crypt in 1940.

Several other interesting projects began during the Jacobs administra-
tion, including an unsuccessful attempt to relocate the remains of General
lames Oglethorpe from England to the Oglethorpe campus. In the late 1930s
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 1 944 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 was developed.

The University continued to make steady progress during the
presidencies of I. Whitney Bunting, Donald Wilson, Donald C. Agnew, and
Paul R. Beall. Throughout this period strong teachers 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.

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.

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 the 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 the American College Testing Program Assessment (ACT).

It is to the applicant's advantage to take the American College Test or
the 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 the College Entrance Examination
Board, Box 592, Princeton, New lersey 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 60 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 maximum of 30 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 place-
ment grades of 3, 4, or 5: neither credit nor exemption will be given for a
grade of 2; maximum credit to be allowed to any student for advanced place-
ment tests will be 30 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 for the
entering freshman, with the following exception:

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

Transfer students must submit transcripts of all 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.

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 Admission
Committee.

Tl-ansfer students having a GPA of less than 2.3 (on a 4.0 scale) will
automatically be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

Oglethorpe does 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).

19

TVansfer 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 Faculty
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 30 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 1 5 semester hours at Oglethorpe and
desires to continue, he will automatically be required to apply for change of
status to a degree-seeking student and be subject to the same requirements
as the degree-seeking student. Exception-:

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.
Students changing from special to regular status are subject to review
by the Admissions Committee.

Ti'ansient 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-lVaditional 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

20

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

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 comnnon 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 educa-
tional 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 per cent annual rate be-
ginning 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 vol-
unteer 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.

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 de-

24

signed 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 1983-84 school year, this grant was $700 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 30 semester hours each 12 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 Scholars Award (OSA) are awarded in amounts of $500 to
$2000. For freshmen, these awards are based on the applicant's aptitude test
scores (SAT or ACT). For upperclassmen 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 OSA 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 as high as 80 per cent of
tuition for the four years of undergraduate study. To receive this award, a
candidate must rank in the top 1 per cent 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.

TV 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
TV 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.

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

A student determined by the Director of Financial Aid not to be meeting
these standards will not receive financial assistance. However, a 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 24 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

contributions to their respective activities. Each award is for one year, but

performance by the Director of Financial Aid.

37

Withdrawal, Drop/Add

Students who find it necessary to drop courses or add courses must
secure a drop/add form in the Registrar's Office. The form is the only means
by which students may change their enrollment. A drop/add form must be
completed in the Registrar's Office during the drop/add week. After the
drop/add period, the professor must approve the change in schedule. The
professor may issue one of the following grades: withdraw passing (W),
withdraw failing (WF), or may refuse to approve a drop, in order to receive
a refund, the student must officially drop the class by the end of the twentieth
class day. No refund will be processed until classes have ceased for the
semester in progress.

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 must withdraw from the University, an official withdrawal
form must be obtained from the Registrar. The Dean of the Faculty and the
Director of Financial Aid must sign the withdrawal 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 fee is
not retained by the University it will not be refunded after registration day.
A $100 fee will be retained by Oglethorpe as a processing fee when a student
withdraws; all other fees except the advance deposit (i.e., tuition, room and
board) are subject to the refund schedule.

The date which will be used for calculation of a refund for 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

38

that all changes in their academic program must be cleared through the
Registrar; and 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 40 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 2 5%

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 2 5%

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.

Student Life

Leadership Development

Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of leader-
ship in society. At Oglethorpe, specific educational experiences are planned
to help the student acquire the skills of leadership.

Education for leadership must be based on the essential academic
competencies reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning. Though widely neg-
lected today at all levels of education, these are the prerequisites for effec-
tive leadership. They are the marks of an educated person. Oglethorpe insists
that its students achieve advanced proficiency in these skills, in addition, stu-
dents 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 improve-
ment of our community and our society.

Orientation - Freshman Seminar

Oglethorpe University wishes to provide each student with the oppor-
tunity to make a successful adjustment to college life. Because we take pride
in our tradition of close personal relationships, we have organized an orien-
tation program to provide these relationships, as well as much needed infor-
mation 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 Reponsibility

All students of the University are expected to maintain the highest stan-
dards of moral conduct and to respect the privacy and property of others.
Students are expected to display at all times public and private behavior which
is not disruptive of campus life or the community. A student is considered
to be a representative of the university community on and off campus.

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

41

student Government

The Oglethorpe University Student Association, consisting of the
President, Vice-President, Secretary, TYeasurer, and Parliamentarian of O.S.A.,
and the Presidents of the four classes, is the guiding and governing
organization of student life at the University. Meetings are held regularly and
notices posted. All students are urged to attend. Additional information may
be obtained from O.S.A., Box 4 58, 3000 Woodrow Way Atlanta, Georgia 30319.

Student Activities

Valuable educational experiences may be gained through active partici-
pation in approved campus activities and organizations. All students are
encouraged to participate in one or more organizations to the extent that
such involvement does not deter them from high academic achievement.
Students are especially encouraged to join professional organizations
associated with their interests and goals. The value of a students 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 spiritual and
social betterment of the individual and develop college into a richer, fuller
experience. Membership in these organizations is voluntary and subject to
regulations established by the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council,
and the Dean of Students.

Athletic Policy

At Oglethorpe University the students who participate in intercollegiate
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,
cross country, soccer, tennis and track for men; and in cross country, tennis,
track and volleyball 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 and women participate in flag football, tennis, volleyball, basketball,
and Softball.

43

Cooperative Education/Internships

Beginning in their sophomore year, students can further refine their
career plans through Cooperative Education and Internship work experiences.
These programs provide practical experience which complements the
academic program. Besides giving students an opportunity to gain marketable
work experience, they are also given the opportunity to test the reality of their
career decisions.

Cooperative Education and internship experiences are available to
students in all academic programs. Opportunities can be arranged in business,
government, education, social services, and health care institutions.

Counseling

The Counseling Service at Oglethorpe provides confidential, professional
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
coniunction with the counseling process when circumstances indicate that
these would be helpful.

Career Development

ideally, the career decision-making process should begin as soon as a
student enters college. Students are provided opportunities to talk with
counselors and to explore various careers, utilizing our Career Library. A four-
year program of career development is available to interested students. The
program provides guidance with career decisions and specific job preparation.
Vocational interest inventories are also available and are frequently used as
a part of a highly individualized process of career counseling. The objective
is to have students become their own experts in formulating career plans that
will be compatible with their academic pursuits. This kind of planning insures
students maximum future employability.

Placement Center

The Placement Center provides career and placement counseling, plus
on-going programs in personal job search strategies, communication skills,
resume preparation, and interviewing skills and techniques. Local and national
businesses, industry, and public service agencies recruit through the Center
each year. A Career Newsletter announcing job openings, plus current and
relevant career information, is published semimonthly. An extensive Career
Library is maintained, containing current resource material and company in-
formation from firms and agencies as well as graduate school information.
The Placement Center also provides services to students needing part-time
employment through its Student Employment Center.

44

opportunities in Atlanta

The Oglethorpe campus is located eight miles north of downtown
Atlanta. This proximity to the Souths greatest city offers Oglethorpe students
many cultural advantages. The Atlanta Symphony 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 are only illustrative of the wide
range of cultural opportunities offered by Atlanta. Student discounts are
available for many performances.

45

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 diag-
nosis 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 relation-
ships 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 Boole

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.

Academic Regulations
and Policies

Registration

New students select courses in consultation with a faculty adviser to
whom they are assigned on their initial registration day. Schedule planning
and course selection for following semesters are accomplished during pre-
registration week. Students should make appointments to consult with their
academic advisers during preregistration. Summer schedules are planned
during preregistration week in the spring semester.

The day prior to the first day of classes is the official registration day
Every student must go through the various stations of the registration process
on that day Those who have preregistered will be able to pick up a copy of
their course schedule at the first station of registration and thereby bypass
the station at which proposed course schedules are computer processed by
Registrar's Office personnel. All other stations must be completed by pre-
registered students.

Academic Advising

Each student consults with a member of the faculty in preparing course
schedules, discussing post-graduation plans, and inquiring about any other
academic matter. A student's adviser or "mentor" is assigned at the time of
the student's initial enrollment. The faculty adviser is each student's primary
point of contact with the University.

To change advisers a student must complete the following procedural
steps:

1) Ask the proposed "new" faculty adviser for permission to be added
to the faculty member's advisee list.

2) Ask the current adviser to send your student file to the faculty
member who has agreed to be your new adviser.

3) Ascertain that the new adviser has received your file and has sent
an Adviser Change notice to the Registrar's Office.

This is the only method for changing one's academic adviser.

Attendance

Regular attendance at class sessions, laboratories, examinations, and
official University convocations is an obligation which all students are expected
to fulfill.

Faculty members set specific attendance policies in their course syllabi.

Grading

Faculty members report letter grades for students at the end of each
semester. These grades become part of the students official record. Once
entered, a grade may not be changed except by means of an officially executed
Change of Grade form.

A student's cumulative grade-point average (GPA) is calculated by di-
viding the number of semester hours of work the student has attempted into
the total number of quality points earned.

ment 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 inter-
ested in this possibility should consult with their advisers to make certain that
all conditions are met.

52

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.

Student Classification

For administrative and other official and extra-official pruposes, students
are classified according to the number of semester hours successfully com-
pleted. 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 12 to 16 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.

Withdrawal from the University

Students who wish to withdraw from the University during a semester
are asked to complete the appropriate form, which is available at the Registrar's
Office. The grade "W" or "WF" will be assigned for courses in progress,
depending upon the student's academic progress in those courses.

Withdrawal from a Course

The grade "W" or "WF" is assigned to a student who withdraws from
a course (turns in a properly executed withdrawal form at the Registrars Office)
from the conclusion of drop and add period through midterm or the middle
of a mini or summer session. After that time the grade "W" is assigned only
in the case of a prolonged illness (physician's letter must be submitted directly
to the Registrar's Office) or withdrawal from the University.

In the case of an emergency departure from the campus as a result of
which withdrawal forms have not been executed, the Registrar's Office verifies
that the student has left campus as a result of an emergency and notifies
instructors. Instructors may elect to assign a "W" in such a case even if it occurs
after midterm or midsession.

A student who withdraws from the University after midterm or the middle
of a mini or summer session is assigned the grade "W" or "WF" in courses
depending upon the student's academic progress in those courses.

53

Repetition of Courses

Courses taken originally during the fall 1983 semester and thereafter
may be repeated only if an unsatisfactory grade (D, F, FA, or WF) was received
in the course. Courses taken prior to the fall 1983 semester may be repeated
regardless of the grade received originally.

For a repeated course, the higher of the two grades received in the course
is calculated into the student's cumulative grade-point average. However, be-
ginning in the fall 1984 semester, all grades received in a given course are
calculated into the student's cumulative grade-point average.

Policy on Academic Fraud

Definitions

Cheating on Examinations

1) The unauthorized use of notes, texts, or other such materials during
an examination,

2) Copying another person's work or participation in such an effort,

3) An attempt or participation in an attempt to fulfill the requirements
of a course with work other than one's original work for that course.
Students have the responsibility of avoiding participation in cheating
incidents by doing their own work, taking precautions against others
copying their work, and in general neither giving nor receiving aid.

Plagiarism

Misrepresenting someone else's words, ideas, data, or original research as
one's own. In general failing to footnote or otherwise acknowledge the
source of such work. One has the responsibility of avoiding plagiarism by
taking adequate notes on reference materials used in the preparation of
reports, papers, and other coursework. The instructor decides if there is
substantial and convincing evidence that an incident of willful and flagrant
plagiarism has occurred.

Penalties for Academic Fraud

If the instructor believes that there is substantial and convincing evidence
that an incident of academic fraud has occurred, the student is assigned
an "F" in the relevant course and the instructor delivers written notification
to the Dean of the Faculty of such action. The Dean of the Faculty informs
the student by letter that the student is suspended from the University for
the next full semester. Students may not register for summer session courses
at Oglethorpe while suspended. Coursework taken at another college during
the period of suspension is not acceptable as transfer credit at Oglethorpe.
A student suspended for academic fraud may not take part in any University
activities nor frequent the campus.

Upon notification of suspension the student may request a review of the
evidence of academic fraud by an ad hoc Evidence Review Committee
composed of:

1) Dean of the Faculty.

2) The student's academic adviser.

3) T\vo faculty members appointed by the Dean of the Faculty.

54

4) Three students selected by the president of the Olgethorpe Student
Association, (in the absence of the president, the vice-president shall
select the students.)

The Evidence Review Comnnittee's task is to decide whether the evidence

of academic fraud is convincing enough to constitute proof beyond a

reasonable doubt of a violation.

The second academic fraud offense will result in the student's expulsion.

Again, the student may ask. an ad hoc Evidence Review Committee to decide

whether the evidence presented constitutes proof beyond a reasonable

doubt of a violation.

Access to Students Records

To comply with the Family Educational and Privacy Act of 1974, com-

Division of Continuing Education

The University's Division of Continuing Education offers a variety of edu-
cational 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.

EveningWeekend 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

Ti'aining 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

during each term.

A minimum of 120 hours (or their equivalent for transfer students) is
necessary for graduation. Some programs may require additional credit. A
core program, as described below, is required of all four-year students.

57

Core Program

At Oglethorpe University, each student is required to complete a cohesive
program of courses. It is the opinion of the faculty that these courses are
essential to a well-rounded undergraduate course of study. Some institutions
have distribution requirements. That is, students are required to take a certain
number of credit hours in each department. However, it is our belief that this
"cafeteria notion" of course selection is less successful in providing essential
knowledge and skills than is the planned and cohesive core which is required
at Oglethorpe.

In addition, it continues to be University policy to provide instruction
of the highest quality in the core courses. No graduate assistants are used.
The courses are taught by well-trained faculty members. It is not unusual to
find a large percentage of these courses taught by senior members of the
faculty.

The following is the core program, listed in the approximate suggested
sequence for completion.

Courses of Study

In the following section, the courses are listed numerically by area within
their respective Divisions. Each course is designated by a four-digit number.
The first digit indicates the course level. (For example: freshman is 1; sopho-
more, 2 etc.) The second and the third digits designate the discipline. Each
level of offerings assumes the earlier completion of necessary prerequisites.
The number of hours refers to the semester hours credit per term allowed
for the course. The designation "3 plus 3 " or "4 plus 4" indicates that the
course carries six or eight semester hours of credit, respectively, for two
semesters of work.

Major Programs

Upon entering Oglethorpe University each student is assigned a faculty
adviser who assists with the preparation of the student's 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 Dean of
the Faculty 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 rec-
ommended 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 division. Major programs are offered in the following
areas:

Accounting History

American Studies Individually Planned

Biology Major

Business Administration International Studies

Business Administration and Mathematics

Behavioral Science Medical Technology

Chemistry Philosophy

Economics Physics

Education-Early Childhood Political Studies

Education-Middle Grades Psychology

Education-Secondary Sociology

English Sociology-Social Work

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 60

60

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 three credit hours in Art
Appreciation and at least six 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 of the core requirements plus the
aforementioned art electives, the student enrolls at The Atlanta College of
Art and completes 78 credit hours in Introductory and Advanced Studio and
12 credit hours in Art History 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 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
pre-engineering 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 core requirements; completion of 120 semester hours, 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 may be core requirements, and in the second
category only one may be a core requirement); and completion of at least
36 semester hours in courses designated as advanced courses.

Among the programs comprehended by this major are pre-law, pre-
medicine, pre-seminary, pre-professional health studies. The degree awarded
is the Bachelor of Arts.

61

Pre-Medical/Pre-Professional Health Studies

Programs can be designed in the individually planned major that will
provide a student with appropriate background for admission to professional
schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy veterinary medicine,
nursing, physical therapy and other allied health fields. Specific course require-
ments 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 require-
ments of the program they seek to enter. 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 con-
sult the annual packet of the Medical College Admission Test published by
the Association of American Medical Colleges. The Oglethorpe science faculty
members are prepared to assist the student in contacting professional schools.
Students should endeavor to do this early in their course work at Oglethorpe
and, in no case, later than their second semester of studies. This will enable
the student and the faculty adviser 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 educational background. A coordinated program which includes
extensive study in the natural sciences and mathematics, development of com-
munication 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.

The professional option is available to highly qualified students seeking
admission to appropriately accredited colleges of medicine, dentistry and vet-
erinary 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 an individually planned major, with a concentration in pre-
professional health studies.

Pre-Legal Program

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 prelaw 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 rea-
soning in quantitative terms. The student is encouraged to become more
familiar with political, economic, and social institutions as they have developed
historially and as they function in contemporary society. Students are referred
to the Prelaw Handbook, which is available from the prelaw advisers, for a more
complete discussion of the desirable aspects of a prelaw curriculum.

62

Pre-Seminary

Pre-seminary students should plan a curriculum with emphasis on phi-
losophy, religion, English, and foreign languages courses. A faculty adviser
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 rec-
ommended by the American Association of Theological Schools, luniors and
seniors are encouraged to take an internship related to their course work.

Interdisciplinary Majors

Interdisciplinary majors are offered in American Studies, Business Ad-
ministration and Behavioral Science, and International Studies. Students who
choose one of these majors should notify the Registrar so that an appropriate
adviser may be assigned.

63

Education

Education provides courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts in Elementary
and Secondary Education, with elementary concentrations in Early Childhood
(K-4) and Middle Grades Education (4-8) and with Secondary Education (7-12)
concentrations in the subject areas of English, mathematics, social science,
and science (biology, physics or chemistry). The teacher preparation curricula
are fully approved by the Georgia State Department of Education; successful
program completion is necessary to obtain a teaching certificate. Students
desiring certification in other states should secure information from those
states.

Admission to and Retention
in Teacher Education Program

Completion of the Teacher Education Program requires the following
steps:

1. Admission to the Teacher Education Program. Apply during the
course Introduction to Education or, for transfer students, after having
attended Oglethorpe for one semester.

2. Completion of a pre-teaching experience "September Experience."
Apply for placement after completion of sophomore year.

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

4. Completion of the entire approved program as found on the follow-
ing pages. Professional courses should be completed according to
the sequence listed in the approved program; detailed programs may
be obtained from the education advisers.

Admission to Oglethorpe University does not admit a student to the
Teacher Education Program. A person doing satisfactory academic work and
approved by the Teacher Education Committee is admitted. Once admitted,
the student's progress and record are subject to regular review by the advisor,
other professors, and the Teacher Education Committee. No student on
academic probation will be scheduled for student teaching until such probation
is removed.

Admission to and retention in the Teacher Education Program are based,
in general, on the following characteristics and achievements: evidence of good
moral character and personality; evidence of emotional stability and physical
stamina; a desire to work with children and/or youth; demonstration of pro-
ficiency in oral and written English; a cumulative average of at least 2.2 with
no grade less than "C" in any professional education course or in any teaching
field course required in the approved program; evidence of responsibility in
student endeavors.

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

94

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

Early Childhood and
Middle Grades Education

Persons desiring to teach in the elementary grades must select either
Early Childhood (K-4) or Middle grades (4-8) as a concentration. General Edu-
cation requirements must include Biology I and !I, Principles of Science I.
College Mathematics, and American History I and II; otherwise regular core
requirements should be met.

Students should select Introduction to Education during either the spring
semester of the freshman year or the fall semester of the sophomore year.
Program requirements for education majors are available from any education
faculty member and must be followed closely to avoid scheduling problems
in the completion of the degree requirements. Programs require work in pro-
fessional education to culminate in student teaching and in the content of
the teaching field. Teaching field courses for the early childhood major include
all content areas; teaching field courses for the middle grades include five
basic content areas and require two concentrations of approximately 12
semester hours each.

Secondary Education

All secondary education programs require biological science, physical
science (or appropriate specialized courses for science majors) and two
courses in mathematics (to include College Mathematics) in addition to, or
as part of, the general core.

All secondary education programs require the following courses in Pro-
fessional Education: Introduction to Education, Child/Adolescent Psychology
(sophomore); Secondary Curriculum, Educational Psychology Introduction to
Special Education (junior or senior). Secondary Methods and Materials (first
four weeks) and Student Teaching (last eleven weeks) comprise the student
teaching semester, which is normally the last semester of the senior year.

Graduate Studies

in Early Childhood

and Middle Grades Education

Oglethorpe University offers a program leading to the degree Master
of Arts in either Early Childhood Education or Middle Grades Education.
Graduates are eligible for T5 certification in Georgia and for comparable cer-
tification in other states.

Program Approval: Georgia State Department of Education.
Accreditation: Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
For application please write: Office of Admissions

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. A minimum of
2 5 per cent of the courses used to meet degree requirements will contain
a field-based component.

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 12 semester
hours graduate credit at Oglethorpe.

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

4. Completion of 36 semester hours approved credit. Application
for diploma should be made during the semester of anticipated
completion of degree requirements.

Organization

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

The purposes of the graduate program are to provide well-qualified stu-
dents 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 for those teachers not desiring a graduate degree to enhance
their knowledge and skills. Inherent in the guiding philosophy is the assumption
that graduate study includes more than the passing of prescribed courses
and the meeting of minimum requirements. All students who receive graduate
degrees must possess a broad knowledge of the literature of their field of
study, be capable of sustained study, exhibit the power of independent think-
ing, and possess reasonable knowledge of the techniques of research.

114

Admission

Upon recommendation of the chairman of the Graduate Council and
approval of the Graduate Council, a person holding a bachelor's degree from
an accredited college or university may be admitted to the Graduate Division.
In addition to general requirements prescribed, the applicant must submit
transcripts of all previous work completed; satisfactory scores on either the
Graduate Record Examination (aptitude portion), the National Teacher Exam-
ination (commons and teaching field), or the Miller Analogies Test; two
recommendations (form provided) from previous colleges attended and/or
employers; and, when deemed necessary, take validating examinations or pre-
paratory work. Candidates not previously prepared for teaching must meet
requirements for first professional certification before completing requirements
for the master's degree.

as a candidate for an advanced degree. For admission to candidacy, see the
section Admission to Candidacy.

Classification

Students may be admitted to the Graduate Division under any one of
the following classifications.

Regular. A student who has a cumulative grade-point average of at least
2.8 on a 4.0 scale, satisfactory scores on the GRE, NTE, or MAT, and the rec-
ommendation of the chairman of the Graduate Division, and who has
completed all prerequisites required for admission may be admitted as a
regular graduate student.

Provisional. A person failing to meet one or more of the standards
required for admission as a regular student or a qualified senior may be
admitted under conditions specified at the time of admission by the Chairman
of the Graduate Council and approved by the Graduate Council. The

115

provisionally admitted student may apply to the Chairman of the Graduate
Division for reclassification when the conditions have been met. Graduate
courses completed by the provisional student may be counted toward a degree
after the student has been reclassified as a regular student.

A senior within six semester hours of completing requirements for the
bachelor's degree may be permitted to enroll in courses for graduate credit
provided that: (1) the student has the permission of the head of the education
department and the Chairman of the Graduate Division; (2) the student is
otherwise qualified for admission to graduate study except for the degree;
and (3) the total load in a semester would not exceed 1 5 semester hours. Under
no circumstances may a course be used for both graduate and undergraduate
credit.

Transient. A student in good standing in another recognized graduate
school who wishes to enroll in the Graduate Division of Oglethorpe University
and who plans to return thereafter to the former institution may be admitted
as a transient graduate student. In lieu of full transcripts and regular applica-
tions the student must submit a transient student application form completed
by the graduate dean listing specific courses to be taken for credit. Any student
admitted on this basis should understand that registration terminates upon
the completion of the work authorized by the degree-granting institution. If
later electing to seek a degree from Oglethorpe University the student must
make formal application for admission and may petition to have credit earned
as a transient student applied toward the degree at the University

Unclassified. A degree holder who is not a prospective candidate for
a degree at Oglethorpe University, such as a person seeking to meet certifi-
cation requirements or local school requirements, may be admitted without
presenting test scores or recommendations. Credit earned by a student in
this category may be counted toward the degree only with consent of the
Graduate Council.

Registration

Registration dates for each term are listed on page 3 of this publication.
Several weeks prior to the beginning of each term, students may obtain from
the Registrar's Office a schedule of classes for that particular term. Graduate
summer sessions may vary slightly either as to dates or length of course.

Courses and Loads

Courses numbered 6000 are open only to graduate students. Some Arts
and Sciences courses with 4000 numbers carry either undergraduate or grad-
uate credit; graduate students, however, are expected to do more extensive
reading, prepare additional reports, and/or produce papers or other projects
requiring more extensive research.

The maximum course load for any graduate student is 1 5 credit hours
per semester or six credit hours in a summer term. Any student serving as
a graduate assistant must carry a reduced load. A person working more than
30 hours per week normally may not register for more than six hours credit
per semester. In all cases, the graduate student is urged to register for only
the number of hours which can be successfully completed.

116

Advisement
