The goals of the educational program and of other component parts of the University are based on this sense of institutional purpose. The Oglethorpe 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 univer- sities, 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 institu- tions 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 foundation on which many of the state universities have been built. Oglethorpe University identifies itself with the tradition of the English college. Established in 1835 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 John Henry Newman's The \dea 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 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. These are essential tools of the educated person. 4 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 instruc- tion, conducted in huge classes, is the very antithesis of the English tradition. 4) A collegiate education is far more than a collection of academic courses. It is a process of development in which campus leader- ship opportunities, residential life, athletics, formal and informal social functions, aesthetic experiences, and contact with students from other cultures, in addition to classroom exercises, all play important roles. 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. Oglethorpe, he said, should be "a small college which is superlatively good." Only at a small col- lege with carefully selected students and faculty, he believed, could young persons achieve their fullest intellectual development through an intense dialogue with extraordinary teachers. Thus, a commitment to limited size and superior performance are important elements of the Oglethorpe tradition. Purpose: Education for a Changing Society While an institution may take pride in a distinguished heritage, it is also essential that its educational program prepare young people to function effectively in our complex and rapidly changing society. What are the re- quirements of an education intended to inform and enrich lives and careers that will be conducted in the remainder of this century and beyond? Many commentators on contemporary social conditions and future trends agree that 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 the 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 made persua- sively 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." Oglethorpe emphasizes the preparation of the humane generalist the kind of leader needed by a complex and changing society. Our purpose is to produce graduates who are broadly educated in the fundamental fields of knowledge and the basic concepts and principles of their disciplines and who are prepared to exercise responsible leadership in public and private life. The University limits its educational program to the arts and sciences, business administration, and teacher education. It defines its primary role as the conduct of a program of undergraduate education for men and women of above-average ability and traditional college age. In addition, a Master's degree in teacher education and programs of continuing education for adults are offered as services to the local community. Goals Educational programs at Oglethorpe seek to produce graduates who display abilities, skills, intellectual attitudes, and sensitivities which are related to the University's purpose. The core curriculum of general education, which is required in all baccalaureate programs, is designed to develop the following: 1) The ability to comprehend English prose at an advanced level. 2) The ability to convey ideas in writing and in speech accurately, gram- matically, and persuasively. 3) Skill in reasoning logically about important matters. 4) An understanding of the values and principles that have shaped Western civilization and of the methods employed in historical inquiry. 5) A knowledge and appreciation of great literature, especially the great literature of the English-speaking world. 6) An appreciation of one or more of the arts and an understanding of artistic excellence. 7) An acquaintance with the methods of inquiry of mathematics and science and with the results of the efforts of scientists to under- stand 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, political, and social systems and of the psychological and sociological influences on human behavior. All undergraduate programs also require the student to develop a deeper grasp of one or more fields of knowledge organized coherently as a major. The student's major may be pursued in a single field, such as biology, economics, or English, or it may cut across two or more traditional fields (as an interdisciplinary or individually planned major). The curriculum and extra-curricular life are structured to engender in students the following: 1) The willingness and ability to assume the responsibilities of leader- ship in public and private life, including skill in organizing the ef- forts of other persons in behalf of worthy causes. 2) An inclination to continue one's learning after graduation from col- lege and skill in the use of books and other intellectual tools for that purpose. 3) A considered commitment to a set of career and life goals. 4) An awareness of the increasingly international character of contem- porary life and skill in interacting with persons of diverse cultural backgrounds. The graduate program in teacher education and the continuing educa- tion program assist adult learners in pursuing their educational goals and career advancement. Each of these programs has particular goals which are appropriate to its educational role. The success of Oglethorpe alumni in their subsequent education, a wide variety of careers, and community life attests to the soundness of this approach to education. 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 operations on January 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 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 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 1850s, 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 860s 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 Thomwell 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. Oglethorpe, under the leadership of Dr. Jacobs, was soon recognized as one of the region'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 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 (RCA), spoke at the dedication of the Crypt in 1938. which was broadcast over the National Broadcasting Company network. 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 1 930s the "Exceptional Education Experiment'' was instituted with the aim of adding greater depth and meaning to the educational process for a group of gifted students. The University received national attention in 1932, when Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke on the campus and received an honorary degree prior to his election as president that year. 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 J. 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 1 975 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. 10 The Presidents of the University Carlyle Pollock Beman, 1836-1840 Samuel Kennedy Talmage, 1841-1865 William M.

The original cast bell carillon in the Lupton tower has 42 bells which chime the quarter hours and a daily afternoon concert. 13 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 University book store is located on the lower level of the building. The dominant feature of the building is the beautiful Great Hall, the site of 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. 14 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 27 rooms and is used to house some Junior and Senior women. Private rooms are available. 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. Thornwell Jacobs. Constructed in 1968, these buildings were refurbished in 1977. The three-story structures house all male resident students. A $1.2 million redesign of the complex began in 1979. Faith Hall The Student Health Center is located on the upper level of Faith Hall, together with art studios and lecture rooms. The lower level of Faith Hall houses the maintenance facility. The building was renovated in 1972 to include overnight facilities for students in the health center. R. E.

Athletic Facilities Intercollegiate soccer and intramural softball are played on Anderson Field which is between Hermance Stadium and the field house. The intramural football field is located behind the men's residence hall complex. Three tennis courts are adjacent to the field house and below them is a six lane, all-weather reslite track. A student sponsored physical fitness center is located in the basement of Lupton Hall. 15 Admissions A II mi. iii mi lift ii ai ii ii ii ii ii ii il ll PiU 1 Admissions The admissions policy of Oglethorpe University is based on an individual selection process. Throughout its history, Oglethorpe has welcomed students from all sections of the 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 applicants who present strong evidence of purpose, maturity scholastic ability and probable success at Oglethorpe. Freshman Applicants Admission to the undergraduate division of the University may be gained by presenting evidence of successful completion of secondary school work and by providing the results of the College Entrance Examination Board's Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the results of the American College Testing Program Assessment (ACT). Arrangements to take the SAT or ACT may be made through a secondary school guidance counselor or by writing directly to one of the testing agencies. For SAT write to the College Board, Box 592, Princeton, New lersey 08540, or Box 1025, Berkeley, California 90701. For ACT write to American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 451, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. It is to the applicant's advantage to take one of the tests late in the junior year or early in the senior year of high school. Applicants should normally have or be in the process of completing a secondary school program including appropriate courses in English, mathematics and/or science, and social studies. While an admissions decision may be based on a partial secondary school transcript, a final transcript must be sent to the admissions office by the candidate's school, showing evidence of academic work completed and official graduation. The Oglethorpe application contains a reference form and a list of other 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 as they become reviewable, and the applicant will be notified of the decision as soon as action has been taken. Transfer Students Students who wish to transfer to Oglethorpe from other accredited colleges are welcome, provided they are in good standing at the last institution 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 degree program offered at 17 Oglethorpe. A two-year residence requirement is in effect but may be reduced to one year by joint decision of the Dean of the Faculty 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 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 (e.g., 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 Faculty in consultation with the Registrar, the appropriate division 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 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. International Students Admission to Oglethorpe is open to qualified students from all countries. Students who are able to provide evidence of suitable academic background, adequate financial resources, and seriousness of purpose are eligible to apply. All students from countries where English is not the native language must meet one of the following requirements to be considered for admission: 1. Complete level 108 from an ELS, Inc. language center. 2. Score a minimum of 500 on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). 3. Score 400 or more on the verbal section of the International Scholastic Aptitude Test. 4 Have a combined 2.30 GPA with no grade below a "C" in two English composition courses from an AACRAO (American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) accredited college or university. International students must take an English composition placement test prior to beginning the first semester of classes. They will be placed in an appropriate English composition course. The normal sequence of composition courses for students from non-English-speaking countries is: English as a Second Language I & II followed by English Composition I & II. An international student's secondary school credentials are subject to the acceptance criteria stated for his or her country in the AACRAO world education series, governed by the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials, 1717 Massachusetts Avenue. N.W., Washington, DC 20036. All students from nations where English is the native language must have one of the following to be considered for admission: 1 . A combined SAT score of 900, with at least 400 on the verbal section. 2. An ACT score of at least 21. 3. Above average scores on the "A" level examinations in British system schools or their equivalent in Northern Ireland or Scotland. Joint Enrollment Students Students who have attained junior or higher standing in their secondary schools may apply for enrollment in suitable courses offered at the University. Admission to the joint enrollment program will depend upon a joint assessment by appropriate personnel of the student's secondary school and by Oglethorpe admissions personnel. In general, the candidate must have the social maturity to benefit from a collegiate experience and possess a B or higher grade point average along with a combined score of 1050 or higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test or its equivalent. A student seeking admission should write or call the Joint Enrollment Counselor in the Registrar's Office of Oglethorpe to receive an application. 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 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. 19 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 in a college or university during the preceding five years are exempt from the regular entrance examination requirements. 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. Two special programs are offered as needed for adults who desire to re-enter 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. 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. The essay version of any examination in English or 20 literature is required. A maximum of three semester hours is awarded in English composition. All students are required to take placement examinations in English composition and mathematics and are advised accordingly. 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.

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 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- 23 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 Awards (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 scholarship's. 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. 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.

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 24 semester hours each 12 months in order to continue receiving financial aid. Part-time students must complete 7 5 per cent 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 0-35 1.5 36-65 1.75 66 and above 2.0 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 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.

The program consists of a standardized curriculum designed to complement and assist academic pursuits by imparting knowledge of the naval environment and fostering an understanding of the role of the Navy and Marine Corps in national security. Upon graduation, the student is commissioned and ordered to active duty involving flying, nuclear propulsion, surface warfare or to a staff specialty. Students in the program are enrolled in one of the three categories out- lined below. An orientation period for all new NROTC students is conducted during registration week prior to the fall quarter. Scholarship Students Scholarship students are appointed midshipmen, USNR, after nationwide competition.

If they do not desire to remain on active duty in the regular Navy or Marine Corps, they are ordered to inactive duty in the Navy or Marine Corps Reserve. College Program Students College program students are enrolled under the provision of Public Law 88-647. The college program can be entered during the freshman year or, upon qualification, prior to April 1 of the sophomore year. Qualified sophomores attend eight weeks of active duty schooling during the summer before their junior year so they can join their classmates on an equal footing in the junior year naval science classes. Prior to starting the junior year, the college program student is required to enlist in the U.S. Naval Reserve for a period of six years.

Leadership Scholarships Leadership Scholarships are available to students with superior academic ability and special talents in important fields of extracurricular activity. The program will include such activities as debating and public speaking, publi- cations, both journalistic and literary; elective office, including student govern- ment; choral performance; social service; and athletics. A fundamental aim of Oglethorpe University is to prepare students for leadership roles in society. One way of promoting this purpose is to give special recognition to students who demonstrate leadership capabilities as undergraduates. Scholarships in amounts up to full tuition and room and board are awarded to superior students with good character and leadership capability who can contribute significantly to one of the fields of extracurricular activity. The individual amounts of these awards vary. It is the intent of this program to provide the difference between the amount of other assistance, if any, and the annual cost of attending Oglethorpe. Students must be nominated by members of the faculty or staff in order to be considered for an award. Recipients of funds from this program will be expected to maintain specified levels of academic achievement and to continue to make significant contributions to their respective activities. Each award is for one year, but can be renewed on the basis of an annual evaluation of academic and other performance by the Director of Financial Aid. 38 Fees and Costs The fees, costs, and dates listed below are for 1985-86. The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents only 61 per cent of the actual expense of educating each student, the balance coming from endowment income, gifts, and other sources. Thus, every Oglethorpe undergraduate is the beneficiary of a hidden scholarship. At the same time. 7 5 per cent of the students are awarded additional financial assistance in the form of scholarships, grants, and loans from private, governmental, or institutional sources. The tuition is $2,715 per semester. Room and board is $1,490 per semester. Students who desire single rooms are assessed an additional $3 50 per semester in all residence halls except Goodman Hall. Jacobs Hall, and Weltner Hall. In these, the single room charge is an additional $290 per semester. The tuition of $2.71 5 is applicable to all students taking 12-16 semester hours. These are classified as full-time students. Students taking less than 12 hours are referred to the section on Part-Time Fees. Students taking more than 16 hours during a semester are charged $90 for each additional hour. Payment of tuition and fees is due two weeks prior to Registration Day each semester. Failure to make the necessary payments will result in the cancellation of the student's registration. Students receiving financial aid are required to pay the difference between the amount of their aid and the amount due by the deadline. Students and parents desiring to pay expenses in installments should contact their lending institutions or other sources such as Tuition Plan, Inc., or EFI-Fund Management. New students who require on-campus housing for the fall term are required to submit an advance deposit of $200. New commuting students are required to submit an advance deposit of $100. Such deposits are not refundable. However, one-half of the deposit is credited to the student's account for the fall term. The other half is credited to the account for the spring term. Upon payment of the room and board fees, each student is covered by a basic Health and Accident policy. Full-time students residing off-campus may purchase this insurance for $50 per year. In addition, any student covered by the basic policy may purchase the Major Medical Plan for $50 a year. International students, students participating in any intercollegiate sport, and students participating in intramural football or basketball are required to have this major medical coverage or its equivalent. (Insurance rates are for 1984-85. They will change for 1985-86.) In addition to tuition and room and board charges, students may be required to subscribe to the following: 1 . DAMAGE DEPOSIT A $100 damage deposit is required of all boarding students. The damage deposit is refundable at the end of the academic year after any charge for damages is deducted. Room keys and other college property must be returned and the required checkout procedure completed prior to issuance of damage deposit refunds. This deposit is payable at fall registration. Students who begin in the spring term must also pay the $100 damage deposit. 40 2. GRADUATING SENIOR: Graduation fee of $50. 3. LABORATORY FEE: A $20 fee is assessed for each laboratory course taken. Full-time, on-campus student: Fall, 1985 Spring, 1986 Tuition $2,715 Tuition $2,715 Room & Board 1,490 Room & Board 1,490 Damage Deposit 100 Damage Deposit Major Medical (optional) . . 50 Major Medical (optional) .... Advance Deposit 100 Advance Deposit 100 Full-time commuting student: Fall, 1985 Tuition $2,715 Spring, 1986 Tuition $2,715 Advance Deposit 50 Advance Deposit 50 These schedules do not include the extra cost of single rooms, books (approximately $2 50 per year), or travel and personal expense. All fees are subject to change. Part-Time Fees Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the fall or spring semesters will be charged $575 per three semester hour course. This rate is applicable to those students taking 1 1 semester hours or less. Students taking 12 to 16 hours are classified full-time. Evening and Summer Courses Fee schedules for the evening and summer programs are available from the Division of Continuing Education. 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 41 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 expects students to reciprocate that commitment. 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 followthe 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, 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 or on 1st class day 100%* By the end of the 7th class day 75%* By the end of the 14th class day 50%* By the end of the 20th class day 25%* (*Less a $100 fee retained by Oglethorpe as a processing fee.) 42 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. 43 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 and the 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 Freshman Seminar, will be better prepared to understand and appreciate their educational development. Student Responsibility Oglethorpe University is a community within the wider community. As such, students are expected to maintain high standards of conduct. They should respect the privacy and feelings of others and the property of both students and the University. Students are expected to display behavior which is not disruptive of campus life or of the surrounding community. Students represent the University on and off campus. Students whose actions show that they have not accepted this responsibility will be subject to disciplinary action as set forth in The "O" Book. 45 The Oglethorpe Student Association The Oglethorpe Student Association is the guiding body for student community life at Oglethorpe University. The OS. A. consists of two bodies, an executive council, composed of the president, vice president, parliamentarian, secretary, treasurer and the presidents of the four classes, and the senate, chaired by the vice president and composed of four senators from each class. Both bodies meet regularly. Notices are posted for senate meetings, which are open to the public. Additional information can be obtained from the O.S.A. Office or the Student Center Office located on the upper level of the Emerson Student Center. The address is Oglethorpe Student Association. 3000 Woodrow Way N.E.. 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 student's participation is a major consideration in determining scholarships.

The four fraternities are Chi Phi, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 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 Community Life. 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 Oglethorpe Scholars 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. 47 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 conjunction with the counseling process when circumstances indicate that these would be helpful. Placement and Career Development Center Students who need guidance in selecting a career, or assistance in ob- taining appropriate job placement, can receive help from the Placement Center. An extensive career information 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 an individualized process of career advising. A four-year program of career development is available to interested students. The program provides guidance on career decisions and specific job preparation. Special attention is given to the improvement of skills in communication and interviewing, constructing resumes, and job search strategies. Oglethorpe University maintains contact with numerous local and national businesses, industries and social service agencies for the purpose of arranging employment and experiential learning opportunities for the students and graduates. Information on full-time and 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 request this placement file will be sent to any prospective employer or graduate school indicated. 48 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. 49 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 Emerson Student 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 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. 50 Honors Each year a number of awards and prizes are given to the students.

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 official registration period precedes the first day of classes. Every student must go through the various stations of the registration process during this period. 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 his student file to the faculty member who has agreed to be the student's new adviser. 3) Ascertain that the new adviser has received the file and has sent an Adviser Change notice to the Registrar's Office. This is the only method for changing academic advisers. 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 student's 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. 54 The letter grades used at Oglethorpe are defined as follows: Quality Numerical Grade Meaning Points Equivalent A Superior 4 90-100 B Good 3 80-89 C Satisfactory 2 70-79 D Passing 1 60-69 F Failure Below 60 FA Failure: Excessive Absences* W Withdrew** WF 1 Withdrew Failing* Incomplete*** S Satisfactory**** 70 or higher U Unsatisfactory* AU Audit (no credit) Notes: * Grade has same effect as an "F" on the grade-point average (GPA). ** Grade has no effect on the GPA; no credit awarded. * * * Grade has same effect as an "F" on the GPA; an "I" changes to an "F" unless the remaining required work is completed satisfactorily and the grade is changed by the instructor before the end of the following semester. **** Grade has no effect on the GPA; credit is awarded. Only work completed at Oglethorpe is reflected in the Oglethorpe GPA. Dean's List Students who earn a semester grade-point average of 3.5 or higher carrying 14 semester hours or more are enrolled on the Dean's Academic Honors List.

Cumulative GPA Required Semester Hours Completed for Good Standing 0-35 1.5 36-65 1.75 66 and above 2.0 Students who fail to achieve good standing are placed on probation. Students who are on probation for two consecutive semesters are subject to dismissal from the University for academic reasons. New students, freshmen or transfer students, who do not pass even one course during their first semester at Oglethorpe are dismissed. Students who have been dismissed for academic reasons may be readmitted after an absence of one spring or fall semester upon petition to the Dean of the Faculty.

For students who earned their first baccalaureate degree at Oglethorpe the requirements are: 1. Completion of an additional 30 semester hours while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher. 1 5 of the 30 semester hours must be completed at Oglethorpe. 2. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time the first degree was awarded. For students who earned their first baccalaureate degree at another institution, the requirements are: 1. Satisfaction of Oglethorpe core requirements. 2. Completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours work at Oglethorpe. 3. Maintenance of a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade point average. 4.

Student Classification For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes, undergraduate 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. 57 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. 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 Registrar's 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. Repetition of Courses Courses completed originally during the fall semester of 1983 or subsequently may be repeated only if an unsatisfactory grade (D, F FA. or WF) was received in the course. Courses completed prior to the fall semester 1983 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, for courses completed originally in the fall semester of 1984 and subsequently, all grades received in the course are calculated into the student's cumulative grade-point average. 58 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) Two faculty members appointed by the Dean of the Faculty. 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 Committee'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. 59 Access to Students Records To comply with the Family Educational and Privacy Act of 1974. com- monly called the Buckley Amendment, Oglethorpe University informs 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 withhold or give consent for the release of identifying data. Additional information may be obtained from The "O" Book and from the Dean of the Faculty. 60 Semester System Two semesters constitute the regular academic year. TWo day sessions, an evening session and a mini-session are offered in the summer. 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. Continuing Education Degree Program An evening-weekend credit program serves two groups: those who wish 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 the Individually Planned Major. Classes meet two nights a week (Monday and Wednesday, or 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 continuing education 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, providing 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. 61 lethorpe U N I IV E R S I T Y The Curriculum Organization Oglethorpe's curriculum is arranged in six general divisions: Humanities; History and Political Studies; Science; Education and Behavioral Sciences. Economics and Business Administration; and Graduate Studies. Academic areas included within each division are as follows: Division I: The Humanities Art English Literature Foreign Languages Music Philosophy Division II: History and Political Studies History Political Studies Division III: Science Biology Chemistry Mathematics Physics Division IV: Education and Behavioral Sciences Early Childhood Education Middle Grades Education Secondary Education Psychology Sociology Social Work Division V: Economics and Business Administration Accounting Business Administration Computer Science Economics Division VI: Graduate Studies MA. in Early Childhood and Middle Grades Education Interdisciplinary Course Offerings American Studies Physical Fitness Under the semester system, courses of one to five semester hours credit are offered. A full-time student caries a normal academic load of five courses during each semester (15 semester hours). A minimum of 120 hours (or their equivalent for transfer students) is required for graduation. Some programs may require additional credit. The core curriculum, as described below, is required of all four-year, degree-seeking students in the undergraduate program. 63 Core Curriculum The core curriculum is a specified set of courses in the fundamental fields of knowledge: composition and communication, the humanities, the behavioral and social sciences, mathematics and the natural sciences. A required component of every undergraduate program, the core is designed to develop the following knowledge, skills, and sensitivities: 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 the values and principles that have shaped Western civilization and of the methods employed in historical inquiry. 5) A knowledge and appreciation of great literature, especially the great literature of the English-speaking world. 6) An appreciation of one or more of the arts and an understanding of artistic excellence. 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, political, and social systems and of the psychological and sociological influences on human behavior. 10) An inclination to continue learning after graduation from college and skill in the use of books and other intellectual tools for that purpose. Core courses are taught by all faculty members in the disciplines included in the core. The following is the core program, listed in the approximate suggested sequence for completion. Course # Course Title CHI Freshman Seminar C 1 2 1 English Composition I (or appropriate course(s) via placement) CI 22 English Composition II C21I Western Civilization I C212 Western Civilization II C330 College Mathematics (or appropriate course(s) via placement) C222 Introduction to Political Studies C462 Introduction to Psychology C4 7I Introduction to Sociology C161 Introduction to Philosophy CI 3 1 Music Appreciation or C18I Art Appreciation C3 5 1 Physical Science or a laboratory course in Physics or Chemistry C521 Introduction to Economics 64 Social Studies Requirement (One of the Following) 2216 American History to 1865 2217 American History Since 1865 2221 United States Foreign Policy 222 3 Constitutional Law 2224 International Relations Literature Requirement (Two of the following, after completion of CI 22) 2121 Western World Literature: The Classics through the Renaissance 2122 Western World Literature: The Enlightenment to the Present 2123 English Literature: The Middle Ages and the Renaissance 2124 English Literature: The 17th and 18th Centuries 212 5 English Literature: The Novel 2126 English Literature: The Romantics and the Victorians 2127 American Literature: The Puritans to Realism 2128 American Literature: The 20th Century C3 52 Biological Science or Biology I or II Courses of Study In the following section courses are listed numerically by discipline within their respective divisions. Most courses are designated by a four-digit number. The first digit indicates the level of the course. 1 = freshman level, 2 = sophomore level, 3 = junior level, 4 = senior level, and 6 = graduate level. Higher level courses in a discipline are typically designed to build upon the content of lower level courses in that discipline and other specified prerequisite courses. In some cases, the letter C, L, or P replaces the first digit in the course number. C indicates that the course fulfills a core requirement. L means laboratory: P means that the course is a preliminary course to the required core course in that discipline. The number of hours refers to the semester hours of college credit per semester which are earned by the successful completion of the course. 65 Major Programs Completion of a major program is required for all baccalaureate degrees. The student's academic adviser assists with the student's selection of a major. The student declares the major selected on the course registratrion form completed each semester. Students must declare a major during the second semester of the sophomore year. A major is an orderly sequence of courses in I) a particular discipline. 2) a combination of two disciplines, or 3) a defined interdisciplinary field. A major includes a minimum of 36 and a maximum of 62 semester hours of required coursework. Each major must allow for the student's selection of courses which are not in the discipline(s) of the major and not required components of the core curriculum. Each major includes a substantial component of advanced courses which have specified prerequisites. A major may require for successful completion a cummulative grade point average in the major field which is higher than the 2.0 cummulative grade point average required for graduation. Alternatively, the requirements for the major may state that only courses in which a "C" or higher grade is received may be offered in satisfaction of the major's requirements. The student is responsible for ensuring the fulfillment of the requirements of the major selected. Specific requirements for each of the majors listed below are indicated in the section of the Bulletin in which the course offerings of the discipline are described or in the sections which state the requirements of individually planned and interdisciplinary majors. Accounting History American Studies Individually Planned Biology Major Business Administration International Studies Business Administration and Mathematics Behavioral Science Mathematics and Business Administration and Computer Science Computer Science Medical Technology Chemistry Philosophy Economics Physics Education-Early Childhood Political Studies Education-Middle Grades Psychology Education-Secondary Sociology English Sociology-Social Work Minor Programs Minor programs are available in some of the fields in which major programs are offered. Students should consult the section of the Bulletin in which a particular major is described to ascertain whether a minor is offered and what its specific requirements are. In general, a minor consists of at least 1 5 semester hours of coursework beyond any core requirements in that discipline. 66 Senior Honours Option Juniors who have achieved a 3.3 or higher cumulative grade point average (GPA) and a 3.5 or higher GPA in courses completed in a particular discipline may apply to undertake an honours project in that discipline during their senior year. Junior Year At the end of the first semester of the student's junior year, the student asks a professor to act as the Tutor for an honours project. If the faculty member agrees to do so, the Tutor and student decide on a list of preparatory readings. The student becomes familiar with the works on the list during the second semester of the junior year prior to registering for the initial semester of honours work. Senior Year In order to register for honours work during the first semester of the senior year, the student reports to the Tutor on work done on the reading list and on topic definition. If the Tutor is satisfied that the student is prepared to begin a research program, the Tutor initials the course entitled, (Discipline's Name) Independent Study I, 2 semester hours. Early in the semester, and no later than mid-semester, the honours student presents a research prospectus to the Tutor, which, when approved by the Tutor, is presented to the division chairperson for review. The division chairperson reviews the prospectus and, if it is approved, recommends two readers for the project one or more of whom may be outside the division. The Tutor seeks the agreement of the recommended readers to serve in that capacity and- reports back to the division chairperson. At the end of the semester the Tutor grades the student's work for the semester. The student should have completed the research specified in the prospectus and have an outline of the paper to be written. The student may take a second semester of honours work only if an "A" is received for the initial semester's work. Those who receive a "B" or lower grade will be asked to withdraw from the honours program. A continuing honours student registers for (Discipline's Name) Independent Study II, 1 semester hour, for the second semester of the senior year. A first draft of the paper should be ready for review by the Tutor prior to mid-semester. After revisions and corrections, the final version is read by the Tutor and the two faculty members who have agreed to act as readers. The Tutor and readers consult on the grade for the paper. If they are unable to reach agreement, the division chairperson will be asked to participate in the consultations. Only an "A" paper constitutes successful completion of the honours program. The credit hours earned in the honours program may be counted as academic credit in the discipline in which the work was done. Students who successfully complete the program have inscribed on their diplomas "Honours in (Discipline's Name). The honours program should not be confused with overall academic honors, which are announced at the commencement ceremony and are based only on the student's cumulative grade point average (see Degrees with Academic Honors, above). Students interested in an honours project should consult with a faculty member in the field in which they seek to do the project. 67 Dual Degree Program in Art Students seeking a broadly based educational experience involving the types of programs generally found at a college of arts and sciences as well as the specialized training offered by a professional college may consider the dual degree program in art. Oglethorpe University and The Atlanta College of Art (ACA) 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 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 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 200. 300. and 400 level studio courses 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 students are advised at Oglethorpe by a faculty member in the field of visual arts. 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. 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 required pre-engineering curricula of the two schools are slightly different, the student is advised to consult frequently with the faculty member serving as dual degree engineering program adviser. Individually Planned Major An individually planned major combines coursework in two disciplines. The following requirements must be fulfilled: completion of core requirements; completion of 120 semester hours, completion of a coherent sequence of 68 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 beyond the introductory level. The degree Bachelor of Arts is awarded. An academic adviser guides the student who selects this major in the planning of a program which meets all requirements of the major. Some possible combinations of disciplines are: history and English; business administration and political studies; and economics and philosophy. Premedical Program A student who plans to attend a professional school of medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy or veterinary medicine should plan a program of studies at Oglethorpe in consultation with a faculty member who is a designated premedical adviser. It is desirable for the premedical student to begin the process of undergraduate program planning with a premedical adviser. It is essential that contact be established by the second semester of the student's freshman year. Professional schools of health science require for admission successful completion of a specified sequence of courses in the natural sciences as well as the submission of acceptable scores on appropriate standardized tests. However, premedical students have a wide latitude of choice with regard to the major selected. Students should familiarize themselves with the particular admission requirements of the type of professional school they plan to enter prior to deciding on the course of study to be pursued at Oglethorpe. 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 successful completion of the first year of professional school (see Degrees, above). Allied Health Studies Students who plan to attend professional schools of nursing, physical therapy or other allied health fields should plan their programs at Oglethorpe with the assistance of the faculty member serving as the Allied Health Adviser. The name of this adviser can be obtained at the Registrar's office. In allied health fields, successful completion of the program in an accredited professional school and a minimum of 60 semester hours credit earned at Oglethorpe are required to earn the Bachelor of Arts degree with an individually planned major in two relevant disciplines. Prelegal Program Students planning to enter law school after graduation from Oglethorpe should realize that neither the American Bar Association nor leading law schools endorse a particular prelaw major. The student is advised, however. 69 to take courses that enhance the basic skills of a liberally educated person: reading with comprehension, writing, speaking, and reasoning. 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 in the University bookstore, for a more complete discussion of the desirable aspects of a prelaw curriculum. Students interested in pursuing a legal career should ask the Registrar for the names of faculty members serving as prelaw advisers. Preseminary Preseminary students should plan a curriculum with emphasis on phi- losophy, religion, English, and foreign language 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 recom- mended by the American Association of Theological Schools, luniors and seniors are encouraged to take an internship related to their course work. Internships and Cooperative Education Oglethorpe University offers two on-the-job learning programs: Co- operative Education and Internships. These programs provide students with the opportunity to have an employment experience designed to promote their professional and personal growth. It also allows students to explore particular career options. Opportunities are available in all majors for students who (1) demonstrate a clear understanding of the goals they wish to accomplish in the experience and (2) possess the necessary academic and personal background to accomplish these goals. Cooperative Education Cooperative Education is a non-credit program in which students alternate semesters of work and study until graduation. Students begin the co-op experience in their junior year. Opportunites are available with major employers such as Delta Air Lines, IBM Corporation and the Centers for Disease Control. Internships Students with a 2.80 or higher cummulative grade point average may qualify to begin an internship experience in the sophomore year. Every internship requires a statement of academic objectives and requirements developed in consultation with the student's faculty adviser and/or faculty internship supervisor. Upon successful completion of the internship, the student is awarded academic credit in recognition of the learning value of the experience. Students who are interested in a co-operative education or internship experience should first consult with their faculty adviser and then visit the Career Development and Placement Center in Lupton Hall to obtain information and procedural forms. 70 Interdisciplinary Majors Interdisciplinary majors are offered in American Studies. Business Ad- ministration and Behavioral Science Business Administration and Computer Science, International Studies, and Mathematics and Computer Science. Students who choose one of these majors should notify the Registrar so that an appropriate adviser 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 American Experience, 2141, should be taken in the sophomore year. The seminar courses, 3141 and 4141, are to be taken in the junior and senior years. A "C" average in major coursework is required for graduation. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts. The Requirements of the Major Include: 1. Completion of the following nine courses: 2141 The American Experience 2215 American Intellectual History 2216 American History to 1865 2217 American History Since 1865 2127 American Literature: The Puritans to Realism 2128 American Literature: The 20th Century 3141 Community and Individualism in America 4141 Leadership in America 3217 The Age of Affluence: The United States Since 194 5 2.

The major helps to prepare students for careers in business, especially those related to human resources, or for graduate study in business administration and applied psychology. The major consists of 14 required courses and four directed electives. The four directed electives should be carefully selected with the assistance of the faculty adviser and must be evenly divided between business adminis- tration courses and courses in behavioral sciences. A "C" average in course- work in the major is required for completion of this major. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts. The Requirements of the Major Include: The completion of the following fourteen courses: Business Administration Courses Introduction to Economics Business Law I Principles of Accounting I Principles of Accounting II Introduction to Computer Science Management Marketing Behavioral Science Courses C462 Introduction to Psychology Introduction to Sociology Organizational Psychology Psychological Testing Social Psychology Choice of: 2 518 Statistics C521 1510 2530 2531 2541 2513 3517 C471 2464 3463 2473 2 512 Quantitative Methods in Business or or 2472 3461 Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences Introductory Experimental Psychology Electives: (The major requires two electives from business administration and two from the behavioral sciences) 2474 Social Problems 2 542 Principles of Computer Programming 2 55 5 International Business 3 516 Managerial Finance 3 521 Microeconomics 3 522 Macroeconomics 3 526 Labor Economics 3 527 Economic Development 4555 Marketing Communications 72 4 556 Marketing Research 3465 Theories of Personality 3471 Cultural Anthropology 3477 The Community 3464 Psychology of Leadership 4473 Population 4465 Internship in Psychology or 4517 Internship in Business Administration Business Administration and Computer Science The administration of business involves the collection, storage analysis, and reporting of large volumes of financial and non-financial data. By com- bining courses in business administration and computer science, this inter- disciplinary major acquaints students with the ways in which computer systems can assist in carrying out the accounting, finance, marketing, and manage- ment functions of business. An additional aim is to encourage innovative approaches to administration that would be impractical without the computa- tional capacity of the computer. The major requires completion of ten specified courses and two elec- tives with a grade of "C" or better in each course. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts. Requirements of the Major Include: Completion of the following ten courses: 2 530 Principles of Accounting I 2 531 Principles of Accounting II 2 542 Principles of Computer Programming 2 512 Quantitative Methods in Business 2 518 Statistics 2 513 Management 3517 Marketing 3 516 Managerial Finance 3 544 Principles of File Processing 4516 Strategic Planning Completion of two of the following three courses: 2 541 Introduction to Computer Science 3 542 Introduction to Data Structures 4542 Topics in Computer Science International Studies International Studies is an interdisciplinary major which seeks to develop the student's appreciation of the multi-cultural global environment. The major helps to prepare students for careers in international commerce, the travel and convention businesses, international banking and finance, and govern- 73 ment. The major also provides an appropriate undergraduate background tor the professional study of business, public policy, and law. Students interested in this major should ask the Registrar to refer them to a faculty adviser who specializes in this major. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts. The Requirements of the Major Include: 1 The completion of the following five courses (including prerequisites): 2221 United States Foreign Policy 2224 International Relations 3214 Europe Since 1918 3471 Cultural Anthropology 4 52 3 International Economics 2.

Four semesters study of a foreign language or demonstration of proficiency in a foreign language which would be equivalent to four semesters of study. 4. A study abroad experience. A summer session or semester at a foreign university is the preferred method for fulfilling this requirement. Students may plan to complete requirement (3), above during their study abroad experience. Oglethorpe University maintains an affiliation with the American Institute for Foreign Study to aid students in identifying worthwhile foreign study opportunities. Advisers who specialize in the international studies major can acquaint students with a wide variety of foreign study programs. Cultural Studies of Europe I & II or Eastern Studies I & II may be offered to satisfy this requirement. Note: Students who graduated from a secondary school located abroad at which the language of instruction was not English may satisfy the language requirement, (3). with English and the study abroad requirement, (4), via their residency in the United States. Mathematics and Computer Science Since its inception as an academic discipline, computer science has been closely associated with mathematics. Many of the field's pioneers are mathe- maticians by training. Indeed, modern computer science would not be possi- ble without the existence of a number of mathematical developments once thought to be entirely theoretical in nature. The major in Mathematics and Computer Science is designed to acquaint students with the various linkages between computer science and mathematics and to enable students to understand more thoroughly their primary discipline. 74 whether it is mathematics or computer science. Rigorous training in mathematical thinking will provide the student with essential analytical tools and mental discipline, while the problem-solving skills that will be sharpened in the process of developing algorithms for computer applications will prove to be beneficial to students of mathematics. Students will become familiar with ways in which modern computational tools have made possible work in mathematics that would otherwise be prohibitively laborious. Understand- ing of the many mathematical structures that are essential to effective develop- ment and utilization of processes in computer science will be enhanced. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Science. Requirements of the Major Include: 1.

To these ends, students make written and oral analyses, supporting their conclusions with close examination of specific passages from the works of literature being studied. In both literature and writing courses, students learn to compose their generalizations and supporting details into a coherent structure of thought and language. An English major at Oglethorpe is excellent preparation for law school or any other professional training that requires students to interpret written material, and support their assertions with specific evidence. Given the expressed need in the business community for people who can communicate well orally and on paper, the combination of an English major and courses in business administration or an accounting minor may be very attractive to prospective employers. The course Advanced Writing focuses on the kinds of speaking and writing abilities graduates will need to get and keep jobs in personnel, sales, and management. Our graduates also work in public relations and editing, where they use their skill with words - a major emphasis of every English course. They go into teaching, and sometimes work for publishers, TV. stations, film-making companies, or computer firms. They write press releases, training manuals, in-house newspapers, and news copy. To help students bridge the gap between academic life and work experience, Oglethorpe places English majors in internships with area newspapers, printing companies, public relations firms, cultural associations, and radio and TV. stations. Such experiences enhance students' chances of finding the jobs they want after graduation.

The primary emphasis of this course is first-hand experience through tours of museums, palaces, factories, cathedrals, and gardens, as well as visits to famous theatres for performances, to monuments, prison-camp sites, and other points of historical interest. Activities of the trip are designed to develop a knowledge and appreciation of the historical and cultural heritage of the Western world in art. literature, architecture and other areas. This travel experience is preceded by a series of orientation sessions during which the students select appropriate reading materials; prepare for new cultural experiences in languages, foods, money etc.. and begin selection of independent study projects. Upon return to the Oglethorpe campus, stu- dents prepare an independent study project growing out of their experiences in Europe. All activities are supervised by the Director of the European Summer Session. ELIGIBILITY: This session is open to juniors, seniors, and graduate students in good standing. APPLICATIONS: Application forms and further information may be obtained from the Director. Students accepted in the program register at Oglethorpe University for the following courses: 4142. Cultural Studies of Europe I 3 hours 4143. Cultural Studies of Europe II 3 hours 94 lethorpe U N IIVERSITY Division II History and Political Studies History The study of history introduces students to important events of the past and the people who played significant roles in them. Embracing the principal fields of liberal education, the study of history enlarges one's understanding of political organizations, economic arrangements, social institutions, religious experiences and the various forms of intellectual expression. An appreciation for the Western heritage is one of its main objectives. Course offerings at Oglethorpe are about equally divided between European and American history. In each of these areas, two-semester surveys are studied at the freshman and sophomore levels respectively. Western Civilization I and II, the freshman level survey courses, are required for graduation. In the second sequence. American History I and II. either one is an optional core requirement bracketed with courses in political studies. Above the sophomore level, period and topical courses are roughly divided between the European and American branches of the discipline. The history faculty at Oglethorpe University seeks to make its students aware of the constantly changing interpretations of the past and acquaint them with the increasing uses of the discipline in such fields as law. journalism, public relations, art, theology, diplomacy and public service. Particular stress is placed on a mastery of the techniques of research which enhance one's usefulness in many fields of professional life. Archival careers and postgraduate studies in history are options with which Oglethorpe students become familiar. Major Students majoring in history are required to take a minimum of ten of the courses listed below. Of these ten, at least two European history and two American history courses are required. Normally each student is required to take five courses in political studies: or other related field.

Prerequisite: Permission of the faculty supervisor and qualification for the internship program. Political Studies Political studies is the name given to the discipline at Oglethorpe that seeks to understand what political institutions do and why, as well as what they ought to be doing and do not. At other colleges, these questions are pursued under such rubrics as "politics,'' and "government.'' and "political science." At Oglethorpe, we call the discipline political studies in the belief that it is an open question whether we are "governed" or subjected to "politics," and that the most important questions, including normative ones, often cannot be answered by methods borrowed from the natural sciences. 98 Thus the political studies faculty avoid a heavy emphasis on quantitative methods, though students are certainly encouraged to learn them if they so desire. Rather, the focus is on the interpretation of events, both past and current, from a perspective informed by the study of political thought and institutions. In addition, students in this discipline develop their capacity to compare analagous things and to generalize. The ability to read difficult texts carefully and thoughtfully is especially important in political theory courses. Finally, politics is obviously a contentious subject. Students in political studies must develop some tolerance for ambiguity and disagreement, while at the same time learning to appreciate the difference between informed and uninformed opinion. Political studies provides good training for life in a world that is, for better or worse, shaped profoundly by political institutions. It is especially appropriate for those interested in careers in law, business, teaching, journalism and government. Major The requirements for a major in political studies are satisfactory completion of at least ten political studies courses (2214, 3214, and 4212 may be counted as political studies courses) as well as five elective (non-core) courses in related subjects. These "related subjects" include all history or economics courses, as well as Ethics or Ancient and Medieval Political Thought in philosophy. History of Sociological Thought in sociology or quantitative methods courses. Minor To receive a minor, students must take at least five political studies courses in addition to Introduction to Political Studies.

It is important that each student's program be fully planned so that the student is aware of departmental and divisional require- ments and allowable substitutions and alternatives. Each student must com- plete the core requirements within the scope of interpretation by responsible faculty advisers. In addition, each student must complete those departmental and divisional requirements as may apply to the specific degree. Three semesters of the course "Science Seminar" (2351. described under Biology below) are required for all science majors. Biology The curriculum in biology provides the student with a foundation in both classical and contemporary biological concepts and prepares the student for continuing intellectual growth and professional development in the life sciences. Numerous opportunities for employment in research institutions, industry and government are available; the curriculum also prepares students for graduate school and for professional schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, etc. Students planning to attend graduate or professional schools should realize that admission to such schools is highly competitive. Completion of a biology major does not insure admission to these schools.

Although hospitals and clinics are their traditional sites of employment, medical technologists also find opportunities in many other situations, such as commercial testing laboratories, medical and pharmaceutical research facilities, and in the sales and demonstration of technical instruments. Students working toward the degree Bachelor of Science in Medical Tech- nology can undertake clinical training at any appropriately accredited institu- tion after successful completion of prerequisite academic coursework at Oglethorpe University. Prerequisites for clinical programs vary among institu- tions; therefore, students should seek additional advisement from the program to which they are applying. This will enable the student and the Oglethorpe adviser to design the proper sequence of courses and to establish an appro- priate time frame for completion of degree requirements. Courses to be com- pleted at Oglethorpe will usually include the following: General Biology I and II, Microbiology, Human Physiology, General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chem- istry 1 and II, Elementary Quantitative Analysis, College Mathematics or Calculus I, and appropriate core courses. At least 60 semester hours must be completed at Oglethorpe in order to be eligible for an Oglethorpe degree in Medical Technology. Mathematics Mathematics is both an art and a science. Students taking mathematics courses at Oglethorpe will encounter both the art of creative thought and the science of logical thought. Problem solving capabilities are developed in mathematics courses. Since such skills are essential in all fields of endeavor, mathematics makes an important contribution to a liberal arts education. In particular, mathmatics provides tools fundamental for analysis of problems in the physical, biological and social sciences, as well as in such areas as economics and business. Also, opportunities are provided to pursue the more theoretical aspects of mathematics, which are integral to its further development. A major in mathematics provides a core of mathematics essential for graduate study or immediate employment. Students with mathematical training at the undergraduate level are sought by employers in business, government, and industry. Career opportunities for mathematics majors exist in areas such as computer programming, operations research, statistics, and applied mathematics. Major The object of the course of studies leading to a major in mathematics is to provide the student with a broad background and skills in classical analysis, together with an introduction to principal topics in contemporary formal mathematics and its historical background.

The teacher preparation curricula are fully approved by the Department of Education of the State of Georgia; 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 Council is admitted. Once admitted, the student's progress and record are subject to regular review by the adviser, other professors, and the Teacher Education Council. 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 13 the Georgia teaching certificate are available in the office of the Director of Teacher Education. 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 II. Physical Science, College Mathematics, and American History I and II; otherwise regular core requirements should be met.

Psychology Psychology uses scientific methods to study a broad range of topics related to human behavior and mental processes including motivation, learn- ing and memory, human development and personality, psychological dis- orders, social interaction, and physiological bases for behavior and thought. The study of psychology should help a student to develop skills in three basic areas: skills associated with the scientific method including data collection, analysis, and interpretation; skills that are useful in the construction and evaluation of theories such as analytic and synthetic reasoning; and skills in human relations through which the student learns to become a more precise and more tolerant observer of human behavior and individual differences. Many students with a background in psychology choose careers in psychology- related fields such as counseling, psychotherapy, or research, but many others choose careers that are not so directly tied to psychology. For example, psychology provides a good background for careers in law, education, marketing, management, public relations, publishing, and communications.

Courses in economics and the functional areas of business administration introduce students to business institutions, terminology and methods of inquiry. A required course in advanced writing provides practice in thinking and communicating. In addition to preparing students for business careers, the program in business administration is valuable preparation for other careers. Students learn administrative skills and methods of inquiry that are applicable to administration of governmental and non-profit organizations. Also, since much legal practice involves businesses, knowledge of business terminology and institutions is an excellent background for the study and practice of law.

Accordingly, the field focuses on information concerning economic resources, claims to those resources, and the results of economic activity. The purpose of the major in accounting is to acquaint the student with this information and to develop the analytic ability necessary to produce it. The student learns to observe economic activity, to select from that activity the events which are relevant to particular decisions, to measure the economic consequences of those events in quantitative terms. 129 to record, classify and summarize the resulting data, and to communicate the information produced thereby in various reports and statements to appropriate decision-makers. The major in accounting consists of a coherent sequence of accounting and other courses which provide the conceptual foundation and basic skills to begin a career in accounting practice or to use as an appropriate background for such related careers as financial services, computer science, management, industrial engineering, law and others. Accountants work in public accounting, business, government and non-profit organizations.

Prerequisite: 3 533 13 Economics Economics is a way of thinking based on the premise that individuals make decisions that advance their own interests. From this premise, economics attempts to predict: ( I ) individual behavior and (2 ) the social order that results from the interaction of many individual decision-makers. Finally, economics involves evaluation of the resulting social order. The three aspects of economic study are related to citizenship and careers. First, the attempt to predict individual behavior results in the deriva- tion of several economizing principles that are useful in business practice. Second, much of the interaction of individuals is in the form of exchanges in markets. Knowledge of how markets function is helpful both to business people and voters who will make decisions about such market-related economic matters as taxes, interest ceilings, minimum wages, and public utility rates. Third, the practice in evaluating different social orders leads students to replace their unschooled opinions about complex situations with disciplined thought. This practice should be of service to those planning careers as lawyers, politicians, civil servants, or religious professionals. The Bachelor of Business Administration degree in economics focuses on the first two of these three aspects of economic study while the Bachelor of Arts degree focuses on the second and third.

All graduate work is administered by the Graduate Division, which is governed by the Teacher Education Council under the policies of the University. The Teacher Education 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. 137 Admission Upon recommendation of the chairman of the Teacher Education Council and approval of the Teacher Education 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 Examination (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 preparatory work. Candidates not previously prepared for teaching must meet requirements for first professional certification before completing requirements for the master's degree. Procedure Application forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions of the University. Completed forms should be returned to the Office of Admis- sions as soon as possible but at least 20 days prior to the term in which the applicant expects to enroll. These forms should be accompanied by a $20 application fee (non-refundable). All material (completed forms, fee transcripts, and test scores) should be sent directly to the Office of Admissions. Oglethorpe University Atlanta, Georgia 30319. To insure proper consideration, all documents must be on hand at least 20 days prior to the proposed time of enrollment. All documents become the property of the University and will not be returned. If an applicant does not choose to enter the Graduate Division in the term indicated on the application, the applicant should notify the Office of Admissions of the change and indicate a new date of entrance, if applicable. Otherwise, the original admissions will be canceled, the file discontinued, and a new application may be required for admission at a later date. Admission to the Graduate Division does not imply ultimate acceptance as a candidate for an advanced degree For admission to candidacy, see the section Admission to Candidacy. 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 Teacher Education Council and approved by the Teacher Education 138 Council. The provisionally admitted student may apply to the Chairman of the Graduate Division for reclassification when the conditions have been met. Graduate courses completed by the provisional student may be counted toward a degree after the student has been reclassified as a regular student. A senior within six semester hours of completing requirements for the bachelor's degree may be permitted to enroll in courses for graduate credit provided that: ( 1 ) the student has the permission of the head of the education department and the Chairman of the Graduate Division; (2) the student is otherwise qualified for admission to graduate study except for the degree; and (3) the total load in a semester would not exceed 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 Teacher Education 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 12 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. 139 Advisement Upon admission to the Graduate Division, each student is assigned to a member of the graduate faculty in education who serves as adviser and guides the student in planning a program of study. Grading The quality of work of courses taken in the graduate program is indicated by the marks A, B. C, D, and F. Grades of I and W are reserved for special cases. Listed below are requirements for each of these grades: A Excellent, with four quality points for each credit hour B Good, with three quality points for each credit hour C Poor, with two quality points for each credit hour D Unsatisfactory work F Failing work or unofficial withdrawal I Incomplete may be used if the student, because of unusual cir- cumstances, is unable to complete the required work in the pre- scribed time interval, provided the student was doing satisfactory work. Such a grade must be removed by the completion of the work within one year or the I becomes an F W Official withdrawal may be permitted if the student's progress is interrupted by illness or other emergencies. Standards Candidates for the master's degree must meet the following academic standards: 1. The student's overall grade-point average for work submitted in a graduate program must be 3.0 or higher. 2. If, in any case, the candidate fails to maintain satisfactory academic standards a review by the Teacher Education Council will determine the student's continuation in a graduate program. Admission to Candidacy Application for admission to candidacy for the Master of Arts degree must be filed with the Chairman of the Graduate Division after the student has 12 semester hours of graduate study at Oglethorpe University. Admis- sion to candidacy would be given or refused following an examination of the overall work of the student and careful review of the work completed at Oglethorpe. Notice of action taken on application for admission to candidacy would be given in writing to the student and to the student's adviser. The student seeking the Master of Arts degree must furnish certification by the Chairman of the Education Department of eligibility for first professional cer- tification or include appropriate make-up work in the program. 40 Graduation Course Requirements.
