Tradition, Purpose
and Goals

Tradition, Purpose, and Goals

Oglethorpe derives its institutional purpose from an awareness and
appreciation of the University's heritage and from an analysis of the needs
of contemporary society. 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 183 5 and named after General James Edward
Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, the University was patterned on Corpus
Christi College, Oxford, General Oglethorpe's alma mater. It would be
overstating the matter to say that Oglethorpe University has been untouched
by the other two conceptions of higher education, but it has certainly been
shaped principally by the English tradition of collegiate education.

What are the distinctive features of that tradition? Hundreds of books
have been written on the subject, perhaps the most influential of which is
John Henry Newman's The Idea of a University, one of the great educational
classics. 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.

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, 183 5, 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 1 860, Lanier is reported to have remarked that the greatest
intellectual impulse of his life came to him during his college days at Oglethorpe.

By the close of the 1850's, the institution had reached a new plateau
of financial stability and academic soundness, but its life and service were
suddenly cut short in the 1 860's as the University became a casualty of war.
Her students marched away to become Confederate soldiers; her endowment
was lost in Confederate bonds; her buildings were converted to barracks and
a hospital. Toward the end of the war General William T. Sherman's army,
during its destructive march to the sea, visited the University but left the
property intact.

In 1 866 an effort was made to revive Oglethorpe, first at Midway and
then by relocation in Atlanta. However, the ravages of war, together with
the disruptions of Reconstruction, presented obstacles too great to overcome,
and in 1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors again.

The next chapter of Oglethorpe's history begins with the determination
of Thornwell Jacobs, a noted Presbyterian minister, to reestablish Oglethorpe.
He enlisted the support of Presbyterian churches throughout the South and
East and of influential individuals and groups in Atlanta. His vision materialized
in 1915 with the laying of the cornerstone of the first building (later named
Phoebe Hearst Memorial Hall) on the present campus. Oglethorpe alumni
from the classes of 1 860 and 1 86 1 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 193 1 , 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
(R.C.A.), 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 1 930's
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 1975 as Oglethorpe's twelfth
president. During his administration special emphasis has been placed on
liberal education as a rigorous intellectual experience and as preparation for
leadership. The expansion of Oglethorpe's program of continuing education,
the attraction of students from abroad, increasing selectivity in admissions,
and the acceleration of financial development are other areas that have
received particular attention.

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

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

The collection of over 190,000 items includes books, periodicals,
microforms, and audiovisual materials. More than 300 periodical subscriptions
provide a diversified range of current information. The R. L. Dempsey Special
Collections room includes materials on James Edward Oglethorpe and Georgia,
Sidney Lanier (an Oglethorpe alumnus), and other collections of autographed
books and unique volumes.

The Sears Collection of Children's Literature contains over 2,000 volumes
of children's books, which help support the graduate program of elementary
education. The Japanese Collection consists of books in the English language
and other materials on Japanese history and culture.

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

The library is a member of the library consortium of the University Center
in Georgia, a group of ten college libraries in the Atlanta-Athens area.

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

The Emerson Student Center

The Student Center was built in 1966. It was named in honor of William A.
and Jane S. Emerson, benefactors of the University, in 1983. As the hub of
campus life, the Emerson Student Center houses the lounges, television room,
recreational facilities, post office student activity offices, conference rooms,
the cafeteria, the dining room, and several Community Life offices. An outdoor
swimming pool is adjacent to the building.

Lupton Hall

Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor of John Thomas Lupton,
was one of the three original buildings on the present Oglethorpe University
campus. It was renovated in 1973 and contains all administrative offices and
an auditorium with seating for 3 50 persons. The University Business Office
is located on the lower level of Lupton Hall; the office of the Dean of the
Faculty, the Registrar, and the Admissions Office are on the first floor; the
Office of the President, Vice President for Administration, Dean of Community
Life, Office of Counseling and Career Development, Offices of Development.
Public Relations, Alumni Affairs, and two lecture halls are on the second floor.
The Office of Financial Aid and faculty offices of the Division of Economics
and Business Administration are on the third floor.

13

The original cast bell carillon in the Lupton tower has 42 bells which
chime the quarter hours and a daily afternoon concert.

Phoebe Hearst Hall

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

It was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a classroom and faculty office
building. Most classes, with the exception of science and mathematics, are
held in this building which is located directly across from Lupton Hall.
Additional renovation for a student-faculty lounge and an expanded computer
center was completed in 1977. The 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. All laboratories were renovated
in 1985.

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, and was completed
in 1985. All rooms on the first and second floors are suites with private
entrances and baths.

Faith Hall

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

R. E. Dorough Field House

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

Athletic Facilities

Intercollegiate soccer and intramural Softball are played on Anderson
Field which is between Hermance Stadium and the field house. The intramural
softball field is located behind the men's residence hall complex. Six 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

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 Jersey 08540,
or Box 102 5, 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 109 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.

Early Admission (Early Entrance)

A gifted student of unusual maturity whose high school record shows
excellent academic performance through the junior year in a college
preparatory program, and whose score on a standardized aptitude test are
high may submit his application for admission to the University for enrollment
after the junior year in high school. The candidate should have the support
of his or her parents in writing submitted with the application. A strong
recommendation from the high school is expected, and the candidate must
come to campus for a personal interview with a senior admissions officer.

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.

19

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

Students already holding a bachelor's degree from an accredited
institution will not be required to change to degree-seeking status
unless they desire to work toward another degree at Oglethorpe.

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

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.

Post Nursing Admissions Program

Students who hold the R.N. degree from an appropriately accredited
institution are awarded credit for their arts and sciences courses. To earn a
Bachelor's degree, the student must complete the core curriculum, a major,
and other applicable requirements.

20

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
literature is required. A maximum of three semester hours is awarded in
English composition; credit is not awarded for English Composition II.

All students are required to take placement examinations in English
composition, mathematics, and foreign languages (if they plan to take a course
in a given language) and are placed accordingly.

21

Advanced Placement Program

The University encourages students who have completed Advanced
Placement examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board to submit
their scores prior to enrollment for evaluation for 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. Specific policies are indicated in the
chart below.

All students are required to take placement examinations in English
composition, mathematics, and foreign languages (if they plan to take a course
in a given language) and are placed accordingly.

Programs

Oglethorpe University provides students with an opportunity to obtain
financial assistance for part of their educational expenses. The Family Financial
Statement (FFS) 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 and the Georgia Incentive Scholarship if a resident.
In completing the Family Financial Statement, the student will receive an
acknowledgement from American College Testing 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 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 Family Financial Statement.

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 Family Financial Statement. Students electing to serve in the Peace Corps,
a volunteer under Title 1 - Part A of the Domestic Volunteer Service Act, a
full-time volunteer in a similar tax-exempt organization or in the Armed Forces
of the United States may be exempt from interest charges and repayment
for three years. Cancellation benefits may be received by teaching in "poverty"
areas that are designated by the U.S. Commissioner of Education, for teaching
handicapped children, and for teaching in Head Start Programs.

College Work-Study Program (CWSP) permits a student to earn part
of his/her 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-
signed to provide only a portion of the student's resources in financing the
total cost of post-secondary education.

25

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 and verify their eligibility for the grant. In the 1985-86 school
year, this grant was $775 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.

James Edward Oglethorpe Scholarships provide tuition, room, and
board for four years of undergraduate study, if scholarship criteria continue
to be met. Recipients are selected on the basis of an academic competition
held on campus in the spring of each year. Students must be nominated by
their secondary schools, must have a combined SAT score of at least 1200
(ACT 28), a 3.6 or higher cumulative academic grade point average, and a
superior record of leadership in extracurricular activities either in school or
in the community. Applications must be received by mid December.

Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) are relatively long-
term loans available through banks, credit unions, and other lending institu-
tions. Parents desiring to seek a loan from this program should consult with
the Office of Financial Aid for additional information.

Oglethorpe Scholars Awards (OSA) Scholarships based on achievement
are available to students with superior academic ability and special talents
in important fields of extracurricular activity. The program will include such
activities as dramatics, publications, both journalistic and literary; elective of-
fice, including student government; choral performance, religious service, 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, room,
and board are awarded to superior students with good character and leader-
ship capability who can contribute significantly to one of the fields of extracur-
ricular activity. The individual amounts of these awards vary upwards from
$500. For scholarships that may exceed one half of annual tuition, students
must be nominated by member of the Oglethorpe faculty or staff in order
to be considered for an award.

Recipients of funds from this program are expected to maintain specified
levels of academic achievement and to continue to make siginficant contribu-
tions 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 perform-
ance factors by the Director of Financial Aid.

Ty Cobb Educational Foundation Scholarship Program. Only students
who are residents of Georgia and who have completed at least one year of

26

"B" quality or higher work in an accredited college are eligible to apply for
TV Cobb Scholarships. No applications from undergraduate students who are
married will be considered. The Faculty Scholarship Committee makes
recommendations for these scholarships each year.

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

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

Eligibility

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

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

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

3. Student must maintain "satisfactory progress" in the course of study.
Satisfactory progress means that a student must earn 24 semester hours each
12 months in order to continue receiving financial aid. Part-time students must
complete a percentage of 24 hours each year. For example, half-time students
must complete 12 hours.

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

Number of Hours Completed Grade-Point Average Years to Complete
0-24 1.5 1

25-35 1.5 2

36-48 1.75 2

49-65 1.75 3

66-72 2.0 3

73-96 2.0 4

97-120 2.0 5

A student determined by the Director of Financial Aid not to be meeting
these standards at the end of Spring semester must attend summer school
as a probationary period. At the end of summmer school assistance will be
terminated if the above standards are not met. However, probation may be
extended or summer school omitted by appeal to the Admissions and
Scholarship Committee citing mitigating circumstances.

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 Family Financial Statement.

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.

27

7. Applicants may not be a member of a religious community, society,
or order who by direction of his/her community, society, or order is pursuing
a course of study at Oglethorpe, and who receives support and maintenance
from his community society or order.

Payment of Awards

All awards, except college work-study earnings, are disbursed to students
by means of a direct credit to their account. Each semester transfer is
dependent upon final approval of the Director of Financial Aid. Each student
must acknowledge receipt of the awards prior to their being credited to a
student's account. Only when a student's file is complete can aid be transferred
to the account.

Application Procedure

The application procedure for the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, National Direct Student Loan, and College Work-Study
Program is as follows:

1. Apply and be admitted as a regular student.

2. File a Family Financial Statement (FFS) no later than May 1, indicating
that Oglethorpe University should receive a copy.

3. Upon receipt of the Student Aid Report for the Pell Grant Program,
send it to the Office of Financial Aid.

4. Upon receipt of an official award letter, students must notify the Office
of Financial Aid of their plans for enrollment and reserve accommodations
by submitting their advance deposit.

Students applying for the Georgia Incentive Scholarship submit a
separate application which may be obtained from a high school counselor
or the Office of Financial Aid. Students applying for the Oglethorpe Scholars
Award should request an application from the Office of Financial Aid. The
application procedure for all other assistance programs may be determined
by contacting the Office of Financial Aid.

28

Renewal of Awards

Renewal applications for all programs are available from the Office of
Financial Aid. Students must meet the eligibility requirements indicated above
and file the appropriate applications for each program. Deadline for receipt
of a completed financial aid file is May 1. Applicants whose files become
complete after this time will be considered based upon availability of funds.

Applicants for renewal of Georgia Tuition Equalization Grants must be
filed no later than the last day to register for each semester.

Renewal of the Presidential Scholarship is based on (1) completion of
30 semester hours per regular academic year with at least 3.2 grade-point
average, (2) leadership in one or more extracurricular activities, and (3) a record
of exemplary conduct.

For renewal of the Oglethorpe Scholars Award, at the end of the fall
semester, freshmen must have at least a 2.5 cumulative grade-point average;
sophomores, a 2.75 average; and juniors, a 3.0 average. Freshman must have
earned at least 14 hours credit in fall semester; all others, at least 29 hours
for the past two semesters. The application deadline for renewal of all scholar-
ship programs is February 1. A cumulative average of 3.2 or higher is required
for renewal of a scholarship which covers tuition, room, and board; a 3.0 or
higher average is required for the renewal of tuition only scholarships.

A student who fails to meet the published criteria for reasons beyond
his control may request special permission, through appeal, to attend sum-
mer school to meet the specified criteria. Withdrawal to maintain a grade-
point average is an insufficient reason for appeal.

Navy and Marine Corps
Reserve Officer Training

The following program is available to Oglethorpe students on the campus
of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Interested students should contact the
chairperson of the Department of Naval Science at the Georgia Institute of
Technology.

General Information

The naval officer education program offers students the opportunity to
qualify for service as a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine

36

Corps. 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. They have their tuition, fees and textbooks paid for by the Navy
for a period not exceeding four years, are uniformed at government expense
and receive retainer pay at the rate of $100 per month. Students must obligate
themselves to complete the prescribed naval science curriculum, to make a
cruise of from six to eight weeks each summer, to accept a commission as
Ensign, USN, or Second Lieutenant, USMC, upon graduation, and to serve
on active duty for four years after commissioning unless released earlier by
the Navy Department. At the end of this period their active duty obligation
to the Navy or Marine Corps is fulfilled. 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.

37

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. The student must agree to serve on active duty for not
less than three years after appointment to commissioned rank in the U.S. Naval
Reserve or Marine Corps Reserve and to retain that commission until the sixth
anniversary of receipt of original commission.

College program students are uniformed at government expense and.
during their junior and senior years, receive retainer pay of $100 per month.
They must complete the prescribed naval science curriculum, make a cruise
of approximately six weeks during the summer after the junior year, and upon
graduation accept a commission as Ensign, USNR or Second Lieutenant,
USMCR. If they desire, after receiving their reserve commission college
program students may apply for a commission in the regular Navy or Marine
Corps.

All college program students are under constant consideration for award
of a scholarship. Sophomore students who attend the eight weeks of schooling
during the summer before their junior year may be awarded a scholarship
on the basis of superior performance during schooling.

Naval Science Students

Any regularly enrolled undergraduate student may enroll as a naval
science student. Those enrolled as naval science students take naval science
courses as electives and have no contract with the Navy. They have no
assurance of ultimate commissioning nor do they derive any of the financial
benefits available to scholarship and college program students.

Selection Procedure

Scholarship students are selected in nationwide competition based on
SAT or ACT scores. The NROTC at Georgia Tech has no part in this selection
although information about the scholarship program is available.

The professor of naval science may annually nominate several college
program students to the Chief of Naval Education and Training for a scholar-
ship. To apply for the college program, a student must be enrolled at Georgia
Tech or attending an accredited college or university in the near vicinity and
be at least 17 and not over 21 years of age. Applicants are selected to fill
the quota based on physical qualifications, interview by naval officers, score
on SAT and high school record. Applicants for the college program should
apply at the Naval Armory during the designated days of freshman orientation
week for the fall quarter.

Fees and Costs

The fees, costs, and dates listed below are for 1986-87.

The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents only 60 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.
75 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 $2,985 per semester. Room and board is $1,565 per
semester. Students who desire single rooms are assessed an additional $370
per semester.

The tuition of $2,985 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 $100 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 1985-86.
They will change for 1986-87.)

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.

2. GRADUATING SENIOR: Graduation fee of $50.

3. LABORATORY FEE: A $20 fee is assessed for each laboratory course
taken.

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.

PartTime Fees

Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the fall or spring
semesters will be charged $630 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
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

43

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 follow the procedures for
withdrawal and drop/add in order to receive a refund. Students are reminded
that all changes in their academic program must be cleared through the
Registrar; 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

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

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

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

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

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

Damage deposit refunds will be processed once each semester for
students and will be mailed on an announced day from the Business Office.
No refund will be processed until classes have ceased for the semester in
progress.

Leadership Development

Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of leader-
ship in society. The University sponsors the biannual Oglethorpe Lectures on
Leadership, which afford students the opportunity to gain insight into the
leadership philosophies of recognized national and regional leaders. In
addition, 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 orientation experience, a Freshman Seminar
is held during the first semester. Topics discussed during these sessions are
designed to meet the needs of the entering student and to help the student
assimilate his college experiences. Freshman students, having completed the
orientation program and Freshman Seminar, are 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.
46

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.

Fraternities and Sororities

Four fraternities and two sororities contribute to the Greek system at
Oglethorpe.

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 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 this form 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.

Cultural Opportunities on Campus

There are numerous cultural oppportunities for students outside the
classroom. The University Program Committee sponsors concerts, theatrical
productions, poetry readings, and lectures by visiting scholars. The Oglethorpe
University Singers perform frequently during the year, particularly during the
holidays and often with guest artists. The Art Gallery, on the third floor of
Lowery Hall, sponsors four exhibitions a year as well as lectures on associated
subjects and frequent concerts in the gallery. The Oglethorpe University Players
also stage several productions each year.

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 counselor 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 the
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

Students who need guidance in selecting a career, or assistance in ob-
taining appropriate job placement, can receive help from the Office of
Placement, Internship, and Cooperative Programs. 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.

49

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.

50

Opportunities in Atlanta

Oglethorpe is located eight miles north of downtown Atlanta (fifteen
minutes via nearby mass transit system). This proximity to the Souths greatest
city offers 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. The Alliance Theatre Company the Academy Theater, and many
smaller companies present productions of contemporary and classical plays.
The High Museum of Art hosts major traveling exhibitions in addition to its
permanent collection. Student discounts are often available.

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.

Academic Regulations
and Policies

Registration

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

The official registration period precedes the first day of classes. Every
student must complete the various steps of the registration process during
this period. Those who have preregistered are 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.

When the student decides on a major field, he or she should change
advisers, if necessary, to a faculty member who has teaching responsibilities
in the student's major field.

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.

55

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.

The letter grades used at Oglethorpe are defined as follows:

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.

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. Students readmitted by petition must achieve good
standing by the end of their second semester as readmitted students or be
dismissed permanently.

all conditions are met.

Degrees With Academic Honors

Degrees with honors are awarded as follows: cum laude for a cumulative
average of 3.5 or higher; magna cum laude for 3.7 or higher; and summa cum laude
for 3.9 or higher.

The academic requirements for honors must be met on all work
completed at Oglethorpe and on all the combined work taken at Oglethorpe
and at other institutions, if that work is presented in satisfaction of degree
requirements.

To be eligible for academic honors, the student must have completed
60 or more semester hours at Oglethorpe. See also. Senior Honours Option.

Earning a Second Baccalaureate Degree

Students who have completed a baccalaureate degree may earn a second
baccalaureate degree at Oglethorpe.

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. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time

to a maximum of ninety semester hours may be accepted.

58

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.

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

59

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.

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.

60

Again, the student may ask an ad hoc Evidence Review Committee to decide
whether the evidence presented constitutes proof beyond a reasonable
doubt of a violation.

Access to Students Records

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

61

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 and Saturdays in fall,
winter, spring and summer 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.

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.

66

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 1) a particular discipline,
2) a combination of two disciplines, or 3) a defined interdisciplinary field. A
major includes a minimum of 45 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/
Business Administration/ 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. 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 course work
beyond any core requirements in that discipline.

67

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, [Disciplines
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.

68

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

69

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. Credft 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,

70

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 2.8 or higher cumulative 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
Office of Placement, Internship, and Cooperative Education in Lupton Hall.

71

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

The major in American Studies is designed to provide students with the
opportunity to develop a systematic and in-depth understanding of American
culture. By combining American studies courses and courses from relevant
disciplines (history literature, the arts, economics, and the social sciences)
students may explore the relationships of diverse aspects of American life.
Students are also able to pursue their special interests within American culture
by developing an "area of concentration" that provides a specific focus for
much of the work completed in fulfillment of major requirements.

In addition to introducing students to the field of American studies, the
major is designed to help students refine their fundamental intellectual skills,
especially their writing and speaking skills. Skills of this sort will serve the
student well long after many specific facts, postulates, and theories have been
forgotten. In short, as is consistent with Oglethorpe's stated institutional
purpose, the American studies program seeks to prepare humane generalists
individuals who possess those basic qualities so necessary for leadership
in a rapidly changing world.

Mathematics/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
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.

Division I
The Humanities

English

In literature courses, students examine written works to determine their
meaning, to reach judgments about their value, to explore their relation to
life, and to derive pleasure. 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.

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

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.
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

99

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.

Division III
Science

To ensure the orderly completion of the program, the student should
consult with the appropriate faculty members in the division at the time of
the first registration. 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" (23 51, described under

Medical Technology

Medical technologists play an important role in the delivery of modern
health care. 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
11. Microbiology Human Physiology, General Chemistry I and II. Organic Chem-
istry I 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 mathematics courses
required are as follows: Calculus [-IV. Differential Equations, Applied
Mathematics. Linear Algebra. Abstract Algebra, and Special Topics in

Education

Education provides courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts in Elementary
and Secondary Education, with elementary concentrations in Early Childhood
(K-4) and Middle Grades Education (4-8) and with Secondary Education (7-12)
concentrations in the subject areas of English, mathematics, social science,
and science (biology, physics or chemistry). The teacher preparation curricula
are fully approved by the 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 the program may be granted during the second semester
of the sophomore year (or as early as possible thereafter) and requires a
cumulative average of 2.5. Before placement for student teaching can be
approved the student must evidence good moral character and personaltiy,
emotional stability and physical stamina, a desire to work with children and/or
youth, a grade of at least C in English Composition 1 & II and in all professional
and teaching field courses, and satisfactory field experiences. The student's
record is subject to regular review from the time of admission to the program.

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

114

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 1 and II, Physical Science, College
Mathematics, and American History I and II; otherwise regular core
requirements should be met.

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

Secondary Education

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

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

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 evalua-
tion 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, manage-
ment, public relations, publishing, and communications.

Additional major requirements are listed under the particular disciplinary
headings in this section. Major requirements may be satisfied with a course
in the division only if the grade received was a "C" or higher.

Students are responsible for ensuring that they fulfill all requirements
in the major program selected.

Business Administration

The business administration curriculum is designed to prepare students
for careers as business leaders who will earn their livelihood by discerning
and satisfying people's material wants. Success in this endeavor requires (1)
the ability to think independently. (2) knowledge of business terminology and
business institutions, both domestic and international, and (3) communica-
tion skills. The ability to think independently is enhanced through study of
the courses in the core curriculum and through a requirement that each student
must complete advanced work in at least one area of business. 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.

Accounting

The essence of accounting is measurement and communication. The
objective is to provide information that is useful to decision-makers who must
choose between economic alternatives. 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,
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.

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: (1) 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.

and Middle Grades Education

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

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

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

Program

The graduate Division offers work leading to the degree Master of Arts
in education with concentrations in early and middle grades. A minimum of
2 5 per cent of the courses used to meet degree requirements will contain
a field-based component.

Completion of the master's program requires the following steps:

1. Full admission to the Graduate Division.

2. Admission to Candidacy. Apply after completion of 12 semester
hours graduate credit at Oglethorpe.

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

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

Organization

The Graduate Division is organized as one of the six academic divisions
of the University. All graduate work is administered by the Graduate Division,
which is governed by the 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.

39

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

140

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.

141

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.

Any student will be placed on Academic Probation who falls below a
B average (GPA-3.0) or has a total of two course grades of C or below.

Any student will be dismissed from the Graduate Program who receives
a third grade of C or less or who does not achieve a B average upon completion
of three additional graduate courses.

Admission to Candidacy
