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 Universitij. 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.

5

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 lohn 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 efforts
of other persons in behalf of worthy causes.

2) An inclination to continue one's learning after graduation from
college 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 seeks to support elemen-
tary and middle grades education in the University's neighboring community
by providing members of the teaching profession with the opportunity to
enhance their knowledge and skills in areas of assessed need. The program
enables practicing teachers and other students to achieve career advance-
ment by earning the initial graduate degree in the field of education. Program
graduates are expected to have developed and demonstrated:

1) Familiarity witli the scholarly literature in their field of study.

2) Expertise in appropriate research techniques.

3) The capacity for sustained study and independent thought.
The continuing education program enables members of the metropolitan

community to pursue their educational goals in a variety of programs and
courses. Baccalaureate courses selected for adult learners from the regular
undergraduate curriculum are offered in the evening and on weekends. Majors
and programs of special relevance and interest to those already employed
are emphasized to enable program graduates to attain advancement in their
careers.

Non-credit courses are also offered in the continuing education program
in order to provide service to as broad a segment of the community as pos-
sible. Courses focused on the goals of personal enrichment and professional
development are offered during evening hours. Career advancement goals
may be pursued in the non-credit curriculum through certificate programs in
management and data processing.

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.

History

History

Oglethorpe University was chartered in 183 5 and began classes in 1838
on a campus at Midway near Milledgeville, then Georgia's state capital. The
new university commemorated in its name Georgia's founder, General lames
Edward Oglethorpe, who had established the Colony of Georgia some one
hundred years earlier in order to defend British North America and provide
a new field of economic opportunity for the disadvantaged. Oglethorpe Univer-
sity grew and prospered until 1860, when war caused the suspension of
instruction. After the war, in an effort to reconstitute its faculty and student
body the institution relocated to Atlanta, the new state capital. For several
years, classes were held in a large mansion house on the present site of the
Atlanta City Hall. However, the economic hardships and turmoil of the postwar
period led to the closure of old Oglethorpe University in 1872.

The institution's 20th century history began with its re-founding in 1915
by a group of business and civic leaders led by Dr. Thornwell Jacobs and sup-
ported by Oglethorpe alumni. The recipient of a generous grant of land on
Peachtree Road north of Atlanta, the new Oglethorpe University began classes
in September of 1916 as an independent, non-denominational institution. A
number of new buildings were constructed in the 1920's in the collegiate Gothic
style of Oxford's Corpus Christi College, General Oglethorpe's alma mater.
Dr. lacobs guided the development of the University as President until his
retirement in 1944.

Under Dr. Jacobs' leadership, the University pioneered in several areas
including education for gifted students and graduate education courses for
teachers conducted in the schools. Great emphasis was placed on inter-
collegiate athletics, and little Oglethorpe fielded a football team in 1929 which
defeated the University of Georgia. The University expanded its program
rapidly during the 1920's; however, the impact of the Depression on the
institution was severe.

Since World War 11 and especially during the last decade, Oglethorpe
has focused its efforts on the development of a rigorous, coherent under-
graduate curriculum in the arts and sciences, business administration, and
education that is designed for students of above-average ability and motiva-
tion. In addition, a graduate program in teacher education and a variety of
continuing education programs for adults have been offered as part of the
University's outreach to its environing community.

The University now draws its student body of approximately 1,000 from
an extensive geographic area. About one half of its students come from
Georgia. Substantial contingents come as well from Florida and the Middle
States, with smaller groups of students from the other southern states and
the rest of the country In a given year, it is usual for the student body to
include persons from every continent and over thirty countries. Education
at Oglethorpe in intended to be a cosmopolitan and broadening experience.

Special attention has been given to keeping the costs of Oglethorpe's
educational programs within reason, and the IJniversity has received national
recognition for providing high quality educational opportunities at moderate
cost. The availability of a variety of financial aid programs also helps to ensure
that academically able students from varying socio-economic backgrounds
are able to enroll.

10

The University has sought to bring together an outstanding, nationally
recruited faculty dedicated to excellence in classroom teaching and committed
to participation in campus life. The leading graduate programs in the country
are well represented on the Oglethorpe faculty.

Looking toward the future, the University will continue to strive to provide
an excellent academic program, which prepares men and women to exercise
leadership in their chosen fields and professions and in community affairs.

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 lersey 08540,
or Box 1025, Berkeley California 90701. For ACT write to American College
Testing Program, P.O. Box 451, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. It is to the applicant's
advantage to take one of the tests late in the junior year or early in the senior
year of high school.

Applicants should normally have or be in the process of completing a
secondary school program including appropriate courses in English,
mathematics and/or science, and social studies. While an admissions decision
may be based on a partial secondary school transcript, a final transcript must
be sent to the admissions office by the candidate's school, showing evidence
of academic work completed and official graduation.

The Oglethorpe application contains a reference form and a list of other
materials which must be submitted by the applicant. No application will be
considered and acted upon until the items indicated have been received.

Applications will be considered as they become reviewable, and the
applicant will be notified of the decision as soon as action has been taken.

Transfer Students

Students who wish to transfer to Oglethorpe from other accredited
colleges are welcome, provided they are in good standing at the last institution
attended. They are expected to follow regular admissions procedures and
will be notified of the decision of the Admissions Committee in the regular way

The same information is required of the transfer student as for the
entering freshman, with the following exception:

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

Transfer students must submit transcripts of all current and previous
college work. A separate official transcript from each college attended must
be received before any action will be taken on the application.

Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses comparable

17

to University courses which are applicable to a degree program offered at
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 1 and 11).

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.

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.

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
20

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

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 11.

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.

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

Financial Assistance

Programs

Oglethorpe University offers a variety of strategies and resources to lower
the cost of an Oglethorpe education. All families are urged to complete a
Family Financial Statement or Financial Aid Form regardless of their income
level. Our financial aid professionals will then have the information necessary
to discuss all options available to parents and students. The Family Financial
Statement (FFS) is the common form by which students may apply for all
campus-based programs, (Perkins Lx)ans INDSLl, Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study) and at the same time, apply for the
Pell Grant, the Guaranteed Student Loan as well as the Georgia Incentive
Scholarship, if a resident of Georgia. After filing 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
Student Aid Report is received, it should be forwarded to the Director of
Financial Aid.

A financial aid package may include assistance from any one or more
of the following sources:

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.

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
office, 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 range upwards from $500.
Scholarships in excess of one half of annual tuition require the nomination
by a member of the Oglethorpe faculty or staff. These nominations for superior
students with good character and leadership capability must attest to
significant contributions to one of the fields of extra curricular activity.

Recipients of funds from this program are expected to maintain specified
levels of academic achievement and to continue to make siginficant
contributions to their respective activities. Each award is for one year but can
be renewed on the basis of an annual evaluation of academic and other
performance factors by the Director of Financial Aid.

Oglethorpe on-campus employment will be provided to students who
demonstrate exceptional work experience and skills. The number of positions
may vary each year. Students should complete the College Employment
Application in addition to the FFS.

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

25

this program work part-time on the Oglethorpe campus.

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 1986-87 school
year, this grant was $82 5 per academic year. Financial need is not a factor in
determining eligibility. A separate application is required.

Georgia Incentive Scholarship (GIS), as defined by the Georgia Student
Finance Authority is a "program created by an act of the 1974 Georgia General
Assembly in order to establish a program of need-based scholarships for
qualified Georgia residents to enable them to attend eligible post-secondary
institutions of their choice within the state." The scholarship awards are designed
to provide only a portion of the student's resources in financing the total cost
of post-secondary education. Application requires the student to complete the
FFS or FAF and to send the information to Oglethorpe and the Georgia Student
Finance Authority.

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.

Perkins Loans (NDSL), are long-term, low-cost educational loans to
students who have demonstrated need for such assistance. No interest is
charged and repayment is deferred while the borrower continues as a half-
time student. Interest is charged at a five per cent annual rate beginning six
months after the borrower's education ends. These loans are available to
students v/ho show a demonstrated financial need through the Family Financial
Statement. Students who elect 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. Cancella-
tion 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.

Guaranteed Student Lx>ans (GSL) and Federally Insured Student Loans
(FISL) are long-term loans available through banks, credit unions, and other
lending institutions. Students must submit the FFS or FAF as well as a separate
loan application.

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

26

ly Cobb Educational Foundation Scholarship Program. Students who
are residents of Georgia and who have completed at least one year of "B"
quality or higher work in an accredited college are eligible to apply for Ty
Cobb Scholarships. Applications from undergraduate students who are married
will not be considered. The Faculty Scholarship Committee makes
recommendations for these scholarships each year.

Dual-degree students in art and engineering may not use Oglethorpe
assistance to attend other institutions.

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

Eligibility for Federal Student Aid

Applicants for a Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, College Work-Study, Guaranteed Student Loan, Parent
Loan, or Supplemental 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.

Students who have not made satisfactory progress may re-establish their
eligibility by earning the required 24 hours and obtaining the cumulative grade-
point average required. All applicants who re-establish their eligibility must
have an appointment with the Director of Financial Aid prior to receiving
financial aid again.

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

If, at the end of the spring semester, the Director of Financial Aid
determines that a student has not met the fore-going standards, the student
will be required to enroll in summer session courses at Oglethorpe to re-
establish eligibility. At the end of the summer session, financial assistance
will be continued only if the student's cumulative grade-point average is in
compliance with the relevant standard. The requirement to attend the summer
session may be waived or financial assistance continued in spite of non-
compliance with eligibility standards, if a student's appeal to the Admissions
and Financial Aid Committee is accepted.

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.

27

6. Be an undergraduate student who has not previously received a
Bachelor's degree. Graduate students may apply for financial aid from the
Perkins Loan or the College Work-Study Programs.

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

*Certain Federal Programs may require a 2.0 at this level.

Payment of Awards

All awards, except college work-study earnings and Guaranteed Student
Loans, 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

Students applying for the Georgia TUition Equalization Grant submit a
separate application which may be obtained from a high school counselor
or the Office of Financial Aid. An application for admissions is also an
application for the Oglethorpe Scholars Award. The application procedure
for all other assistance programs may be determined by contacting the Office
of Financial Aid.

The application procedure for the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan, Guaranteed Student lx)an, and College Work-

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
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.

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. Oualified

37

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 serva^on active duty for not
less than three years after appoihtment 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 Tl'aining 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.

Finances

Fees and Costs

The fees, costs, and dates listed below are for 1987-88.

The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents only 57 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 $3,3 50 per semester. Room and board is $1,675 per
semester. Students who desire single rooms are assessed an additional $375
per semester.

The tuition of $3,350 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 $110 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 1986-87.
They will change for 1987-88.)

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 $5 5.

3. LABORATORY FEE: A $30 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 $760 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 Registrar.

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.

Students should note that any change of academic schedule must be
cleared by the Registrar's Office. The date the change is received in the
Registrar's Office will be the official date for the change.

If a student misses six consecutive classes in any course, the instructor
will notify the Registrar's Office and it will be assumed that the student has
unofficially withdrawn from the course. This does not eliminate the
responsibility stated above concerning the official withdrawal policy. The
student may receive the grade of withdrawal passing, withdrawal failing, or
failure due to excessive absences. This policy has direct implications for
students receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration and other federal
agencies as these agencies must be notified when a student misses six
consecutive classes. This will result in an automatic decrease in payments to

43

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.
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 2 5%

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

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

Leadership Development

Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of leader-
ship in society. 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 Rights and Responsibilities

Students of Oglethorpe have specific rights and responsibilities. Among
the rights are the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly the
right to the presumption of innocence and procedural fairness in the
administration of discipline and the right to access to personal records.

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

46

that they have not accepted this responsibility will be subject to disciplinary
action as set forth in The "O" Book.

The Oglethorpe Student Association

The Oglethorpe Student Association is the guiding body for student
community life at Oglethorpe University. The O.S.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.

Fraternities and Sororities

Four fraternities and two sororities contribute to tine 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 Sigma Sigma.

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, including seasonal
events. They often feature guest artists. The Art Gallery, on the third floor of
Lowry 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. TWo annual events, the Oglethorpe
Night of the Arts and International Night, provide a showcase for campus
talent. The former presents student literary musical, and visual arts. The latter
features international cuisine and entertainment. The Georgia Shakespeare
Festival which takes place on campus during the summer is also a valuable
cultural asset to the Oglethorpe community.

48

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.

Oglethorpe University maintains contact with numerous local and
national businesses, industries and social service agencies for the purpose

miles from the city's largest shopping center. A nearby rapid transit station
makes transportation quick and efficient. This proximity to the South's most
vibrant city offers students a great variety of cultural and entertainment
opportunities. There are numerous excellent restaurants and clubs in nearby

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.

International Student Services

The Foreign Student Office, which is located in the Emerson Student
Center, exists to meet the needs of international students. Through a specially
designed orientation program and on-going contacts, the new foreign student
is assisted in the process of adjustment to life at an American college. Special
tours, host family programs, and social occasions are available to ensure that
students can benefit fully from cross cultural experiences. The Foreign Student
Advisor helps students with questions related to their immigration status.

Registration

New students select courses in consultation with faculty advisers 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 or her 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:

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

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 may be repeated only if an unsatisfactory grade (D, F FA, or
WF) was received in the course.

regulations.

Policy on Academic Fraud

I. Definitions

Cheating on Examinations

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

59

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.

II. Penalties for Academic Fraud

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

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

1) Dean of the Faculty.

2) The student's academic adviser.

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

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

The Evidence Review Committee's task is to decide whether the evidence
of academic fraud is convincing enough to constitute proof beyond a
reasonable doubt of a violation.

The second academic fraud offense will result in the student's expulsion.
Again, the student may ask an ad hoc Evidence Review Committee to decide
whether the evidence presented constitutes proof beyond a reasonable
doubt of a violation.

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,

60

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
Registrar.

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.

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 have declared a major by the end
of 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 must include a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 62 semester hours
of required coursework, exclusive of all hours used to satisfy core requirements.
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

65

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.
The clinical training component of the medical technology major must
be completed in an approved health sciences program at a cooperating
institution (see p. 108).

member agrees to do so, the Tlitor 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 Tlitor is satisfied that the student is prepared
to begin a research program, the Tlitor initials the course entitled, {Discipline's
Name) Independent Study I, 2 semester hours.

Early in the semester, and no later than mid-semester, the honours stu-
dent presents a research prospectus to the Tlitor, 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 Tlitor 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) Indepen-
dent Study II, I 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
Tlitor 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 {Disciplines Name). The honours program should not be
confused with overall academic honors, which are announced at the com-
mencement 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.

Ducil 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 wish to
consider the dual degree program in art. Oglethorpe University and The

67

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 61 semester hours of work, including the core
requirements, and then enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art. The dual degree
program requires nine semesters to complete (4!/2 regular academic years).

The student is required to complete three credit hours in Art
Appreciation and twelve credit hours in studio electives at Oglethorpe. Upon
successful completion of all of the core requirements plus the aforementioned
art courses, the student enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art and completes
75 credit hours in studio and art history courses. Placement in studio courses
is dependent on a portfolio review.

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 the
University of Florida, 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 three affiliated 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
courses including at least 12 semester hours in one discipline and 9 semester
hours in another discipline, exclusive of core requirements; 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.

68

Premedical Program

A student who plans to attend a professional school of medicine,
dentistry, optometry, pharmacy or veterinary medicine should plan a program
of studies at Oglethorpe in consultation with a faculty member who is a
designated premedical adviser. It is desirable for the premedical student to
begin the process of undergraduate program planning with a premedical
adviser. It is essential that contact be established by the second semester
of the student's freshman year.

Professional schools of health science require for admission successful
completion of a specified sequence of courses in the natural sciences as well
as the submission of acceptable scores on appropriate standardized tests.
However; premedical students have a wide latitude of choice with regard to
the major selected. Students should familiarize themselves with the particular
admission requirements of the type of professional school they plan to enter
prior to deciding on the course of study to be pursued at Oglethorpe.

The professional option is available to highly qualified students seeking
admission to appropriately accredited colleges of medicine, dentistry and vet-
erinary medicine. This option allows students to enter their respective
professional schools at the end of their junior year. Credit is awarded at
Oglethorpe for the successful completion of the first year of professional
school (see Degrees, above).

Allied Health Studies

Students who plan to attend professional schools of nursing, physical
therapy or other allied health fields should plan their programs at Oglethorpe
with the assistance of the faculty member serving as the Allied Health Adviser.
The name of this adviser can be obtained at the Registrar's office.

In allied health fields, successful completion of the program in an
accredited professional school and a minimum of 60 semester hours credit
earned at Oglethorpe are required to earn the Bachelor of Arts degree with
an individually planned major in two relevant disciplines.

69

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,
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, juniors 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 (I) 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 in the Atlanta area.

Internships

Students 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.
70

Cross Registration

Oglethorpe University is a member of the University Center in Georgia,
a consortium of institutions of higher education ii| the Atlanta/Athens area.
Through the University Center, students may enroll in courses at any other
member institution. The student need not be admitted to the other institution
and completes all procedures, including payment of tuition, at Oglethorpe.

Interested students should consult the Registrar for program details.

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.

and reporting of large volumes of financial as well as non-financial data. By
combining courses in business administration and computer science, this inter-
disciplinary major acquaints students with the ways in which computer systems
can assist in carrying out the accounting, finance, marketing, and management
functions of business. An additional aim is to encourage innovative approaches
to administration that would be impractical without the computational capacity
of the computer.

The major requires completion of sixteen courses; thirteen specified
courses and three directed electives, with a grade of "C" or better in each
course. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Business Administration.

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 possible
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
development 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.

Far Eastern Studies Seminar/Tour

The Oglethorpe University Far Eastern Seminar/Tour offers an exceptional
opportunity for students to undertake a program of study in several Oriental
cities. During the summer, students travel in the milieu of a great culture and
study the origin, nature, and achievements of that culture.

This program is primarily related to the undergraduate humanities
program. The purpose of the session is to broaden the student's perspective
by enhancing understanding and appreciation of other cultures.

COURSE OF STUDY: The study program is organized around two related
motifs. (1) Prior to the trip, a four-week seminar will be devoted to the
understanding of Eastern cultures through the combined perspectives of
geography and history, art and religion, economics and political science.
Students will attend lectures by the instructor who will provide leadership
for the independent study group of the student's major interest. (2) There will
be tours to the major cultural monuments of Eastern cities. During the tour,
students will engage in an independent study project of their choosing.

APPLICATION: Application forms and further information may be ob-
tained from the Director of the Far Eastern Tour. Students accepted in the
program register at Oglethorpe University for the following courses:

4110. Eastern Studies i 3 hours

4111. Eastern Studies II 3 hours

European Studies Seminar/Tour

The Oglethorpe University European Studies Seminar/Tour offers an ex-
ceptional opportunity for students to undertake a program of study in several
European cities. Typically these cities include London, Cologne, Munich, Venice,
Florence, Rome, Lucerne, and Paris. For three weeks students travel in the milieu
of the great cultures of Europe and study the origin, nature, and achievements
of those cultures.

The primary emphasis of this course is first-hand experience through
tours of museums, palaces, factories, cathedrals, and gardens, as well as visits
to famous theatres for performances, to monuments, prison-camp sites, and
other points of historical interest. Activities of the trip are designed to develop
a knowledge and appreciation of the historical and cultural heritage of the
Western world in art, literature, architecture, and other areas.

This travel experience is preceded by a series of orientation sessions
during which the students select appropriate reading materials: prepare for
new cultural experiences in languages, foods, money etc., and begin selection
of independent study projects. Upon return to the Oglethorpe campus, stu-
dents prepare an independent study project growing out of their experiences

94

in Europe. All activities are supervised by the Director of the European
Summer Session.

ELIGIBILITY: This session is open to juniors, seniors, and graduate
students in good standing.

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 thenn. 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 eight
of the courses listed below, exclusive of courses used to meet core
requirements. Of these eight, at least two European history and two American
history courses are required. Each student is required to take five courses
in political studies or other related field. Students who plan to attend graduate
school should take at least two courses in a foreign language.

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
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.

99

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 nine political studies courses beyond core requirements
(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 in philosophy History
of Sociological Thought in sociology and quantitative methods courses.

Minor

To receive a minor, students must take at least five political studies
courses in addition to Introduction to Political Studies. These courses must
fall in at least three of the four basic subfields of the discipline (American
government, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory).

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
requirements and allowable substitutions and alternatives. Each student must
complete 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
Biology below) are required for all science majors.

Biology

The curriculum in biology provides the student with a foundation in both
classical and contemporary biological concepts and prepares the student for
continuing intellectual growth and professional development in the life
sciences. Numerous opportunities for employment in research institutions,
industry and government are available; the curriculum also prepares students
for graduate school and for professional schools of medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine, etc. Students planning to attend graduate or professional
schools should realize that admission to such schools is highly competitive.
Completion of a biology major does not insure admission to these schools.

Chemistry

The chemistry program covers four general areas of chemistry: inorganic,
organic, physical and analytical. The first half of a student's chemistry
curriculum involves courses which present the fundamentals of the various
areas. The second half of the curriculum consists of advanced courses which
cover specialized topics in chemistry. In addition to factual knowledge about
chemistry, the student gains an understanding about the scientific method
and a systematic approach to research. A large portion of the chemistry
curriculum includes laboratory courses. These courses teach the techniques
and skills used in chemical experimentation.

A student who has completed the Bachelor of Science program in
chemistry has several career options. These options include technical or
analytical work in a chemical laboratory and non-research positions in the
chemical industry such sales or marketing. Another option is to enter a
graduate or professional school. Graduates interested in doing chemical
research should pursue the M.S. or Ph.D. degrees. Those interested in
professions such as medicine or dentistry, would enter the appropriate
professional school after receiving the Bachelor of Science degree.

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 undertake their clinical training at an approved institution after
successful completion of prerequisite academic coursework at Oglethorpe
University. Prerequisites for clinical programs vary among institutions;
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 1 and
11, Microbiology Human Physiology General Chemistry 1 and 11, Organic Chem-
istry 1 and II, Elementary Ouantitative Analysis, College Mathematics or

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 I-IV, Differential Equations, Applied
Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, and Special Topics in
Mathematics I and II. In addition, a year of Calculus based physics College

108

Physics I and II is to be taken concurrently with Calculus 1 and II. Computer
Science I, Classical Mechanics I and II, Formal Logic, and three semesters of
Science Seminar (23 51) are also required. (Calculus I and College Physics I

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 as a second
semester sophomore 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 freshman year.

3. Completion of Student Teaching. Apply for spring placement by
October 20.

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, satisfactory field experiences, and a cumulative
grade point average of at least 2.5. 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 I 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.

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) communication
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.

Graduate Studies

in Early Childhood

and Middle Grades Education

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

Program Approval: 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 faculty and administration, under the leadership of the chair-
man 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 assump-
tion 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.

37

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. Students who do not have a Georgia T4
certificate in either early or middle grades must contact the Chairman of the
Graduate Program in teacher education upon admission. 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

138

admitted under conditions specified at the time of admission by the Chairman
of the Teacher Education Council and approved by the Teacher Education
Council. The provisionally admitted student must include two foundations
courses among the first four courses attempted and apply to the Chairman
of the Graduate Division for reclassification when the specified 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. !n 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 hav^ 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

39

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.

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

Application for admission to candidacy for the Master of Arts degree
must be filed with the Chairman of the Graduate Division after the student
has 12 semester hours of graduate study at Oglethorpe University. Admis-

140

sion to candidacy would be given or refused following an examination of the
overall work of the student and careful review of the work completed at
Oglethorpe. Notice of action taken on application for admission to candidacy
would be given in writing to the student and to the student's adviser. The
student seeking the Master of Arts degree must furnish certification by the
Chairman of the Education Department of eligibility for first professional cer-
tification or include appropriate make-up work in the program.
