Tradition, Purpose
and Goals

UJPTON HALL

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 prin-
cipally by the English tradition of collegiate education.

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

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

2) Colleges such as Oglethorpe stress the basic academic com-
petencies reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning and the
fundamental fields of knowledge the arts and sciences. These
are essential tools of the educated person.

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 )ohn 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 understanding 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 skiH 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:

7

1) Familiarity with 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 a certificate program
in management.

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, 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.

The University's 20th century history began with its re-founding on a
new suburban campus in 1915 by a group of business and civic leaders led
by Dr. Thornwell Jacobs and supported 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, 1916, as an independent,
non-denominational institution. A number of new buildings were constructed
in the 1920s in the collegiate Gothic style of Oxford's Corpus Christi College,
General Oglethorpe's alma mater. Dr. Jacobs 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. Emphasis was placed on intercollegiate athletics, and Oglethorpe
had notable teams in football and baseball. The University expanded its pro-
gram rapidly during the 1920's and sponsored the first educational radio
station.

Since World War II, 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 the community.

The University now draws its student body of approximately 1,000 from
a wide geographic area. About one half of its students come from Georgia.
Substantial numbers are attracted from Florida, the Middle Atlantic States,
and the Middle West. In a given year, the student body also includes persons
from about twenty-five other countries. Education at Oglethorpe is intended
to be a cosmopolitan and broadening experience. The University has become
increasingly selective in admissions, and most of its entering students come
from the top 10% of high school graduates.

Special attention has been given to keeping the costs of Oglethorpe's
educational programs within reason, and the University 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 schools in the country
are well represented on the Oglethorpe faculty. The student body is one of
the ablest in the Southeast.

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.

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

It was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a classroom and faculty office
building. Most classes, with the exception of science and mathematics, are
held in this building which is located directly across from Lupton Hall. The
University book store is located on the lower level of the building.

The dominant feature of the building is the beautiful Great Hall, the site
of many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe. Located on the ground

Admissions

Admissions

The admissions policy of Oglethorpe University is based on an individual
selection process. Throughout its history Oglethorpe has welcomed students
from all sections of the country as well as from abroad, as candidates for
degrees. It is the policy of the Admissions Committee to select for admission
to the University applicants who present strong evidence of purpose, maturity,
scholastic ability, and probable success at Oglethorpe.

Freshman Applicants

Admission to the undergraduate division of the University may be gained
by presenting evidence of successful completion of secondary school work
and by providing the results of the College Entrance Examination Board's
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the results of the American College Testing
Program Assessment (ACT).

Arrangements to take the SAT or ACT may be made through a secondary
school guidance counselor or by writing directly to one of the testing agencies.
For SAT write to the College Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540,
or Box 102 5, Berkeley, California 90701. For ACT write to American College
Testing Program, P.O. Box 451, Iowa City Iowa 52240. It is to the applicant's
advantage to take one of the tests late in the junior year or early in the senior
year of high school.

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

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

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

Transfer Students

Students who wish to transfer to Oglethorpe from other regionally
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, test scores, and reference forms 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.

17

Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses comparable
to University courses which are applicable to a degree program offered at
Oglethorpe. Since a two-year residence requirement is in effect, students
normally may transfer no more than two years of academic work from another
institution. In very unusual circumstances and by joint decision of the Dean
of the Faculty the chairman of the division in which the student will major,
and the student's adviser, the residency requirement may be reduced.
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 II).

Transfer students who have earned the Associate of Arts degree at a
regionally accredited junior college will be awarded two years of credit. The
remaining two years of academic credit will be determined by the Dean of
the Faculty in consultation with the Registrar, the appropriate division
chairman, and the student. Junior college graduates with strong academic
records are encouraged to apply for admission.

All financial aid awards and scholarships are open to transfer students
as well as freshmen.

Oglethorpe University will accept as many as 30 hours of United States
Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) credit. Students with at least six months active
military experience may be granted three hours credit for that experience.
Students who serve for two years or more may receive six hours credit.

International Students

Admission to Oglethorpe is open to qualified students from all countries.
Students who are able to provide evidence of suitable academic background,
adequate financial resources, and seriousness of purpose are eligible to apply.

All students from countries where English is not the native language
must meet one of the following requirements to be considered for admission:

1. Complete level 109 from an ELS, Inc. language center.

2. Score a minimum of 500 on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign
Language).

3. Score 400 or more on the verbal section of the International
Scholastic Aptitude Test.

4. Have a combined 2.30 GPA with no grade below a "C" in two English
composition courses from an AACRAO (American Association of
Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) accredited college or
university.

International students must take an English composition placement test
prior to beginning the first semester of classes. They will be placed in an
appropriate English composition course. The normal sequence of composition

courses for students from non-English-speaking countries is: English as a
Second Language I & II followed by English Composition 1 & II.

An international student's secondary school credentials are subject to
the acceptance criteria stated for his or her country in the AACRAO world
education series, governed by the National Council on the Evaluation of
Foreign Educational Credentials, 1717 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, DC 20036.

All students from nations where English is the native language must have
one of the following to be considered for admission:

1 . A combined SAT score of 900, with at least 400 on the verbal section.

2. An ACT score of at least 21.

3. Above average scores on the 'A" level examinations in British system
schools or their equivalent in Northern Ireland or Scotland.

Joint Enrollment Students

Students who have attained junior or higher standing in their secondary
schools may apply for enrollment in suitable courses offered at the University.

Admission to the joint enrollment program will depend upon a joint
assessment by appropriate personnel of the student's secondary school and
by Oglethorpe admissions personnel.

In general, the candidate must have the social maturity to benefit from
a collegiate experience and possess a B or higher grade point average along
with a combined score of 1050 or higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test or
its equivalent. A student seeking admission should write or call the Joint
Enrollment Counselor in the Registrar's Office of Oglethorpe to receive an
application. No more than four courses may be taken as a joint enrollment
student.

Early Admission (Early Entrance)

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

Special and Transient Students

In addition to regular students, a limited number of special and transient
students will be accepted.

Special students are defined as students not working toward a degree
at Oglethorpe. They are limited to a maximum of five courses (15 semester
hours). Special students must meet the following requirements:

1. Five years since high school attendance.

2. High school graduate or successful passage of General Education
Development test.

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

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

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

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, as detailed under Special
and Transient Students above. 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.

A study skills workshop is offered as needed to adults who desire to
re-enter the academic environment. It includes the following topics: motivation
for study, concentration and memory, time management, reading improve-
ment, note taking, and test taking.

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
described below. Any student who has questions about these examinations

20

should consult the Registrar. Up to 60 semester hours of credit will be accepted
through these programs.

College Level Examination Program CLEP

Within the CLEP testing program are two categories. The General
Examinations cover the areas of English Composition, Humanities,
Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Science and History. Oglethorpe
University does not award credit for the General Examinations in English
Composition or Natural Science. 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 on a Subject Examination is required for credit. The Registrar's
Office should be contacted concerning which Subject Examinations may lead
to credit at Oglethorpe.

CLEP examinations normally are taken before the student matriculates
at Oglethorpe. Credit will not be awarded for an examination taken after the
student completes his or her first semester at Oglethorpe University. A
maximum of 30 semester hours may be earned with acceptable CLEP scores.

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
chart below.

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

reserve accommodations for the appropriate term. Dormitory students submit
a deposit of $200; commuters $100. While the deposit is not refundable, it

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) or Financial Aid Form (FAF) are the common forms by which
students may apply for all campus-based programs, (Perkins Loans |NDSL|.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study) and at
the same time, apply for the Pell Grant, the Stafford Loan as well as the Georgia
Incentive Grant, if a resident of Georgia. After filing the FFS or FAF, the student
will receive an acknowledgement from American College Testing Service or
College Scholarship Service, and the Student Aid Report for the Pell Grant
Program. When the Student Aid Report is received, it should be forwarded
to the Office 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/FAF.

College Work-Study Program (CWSP) permits a student to earn part
of his/her educational expenses. The earnings from this program and other

25

financial aid cannot exceed the student's financial need. Students eligible for
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 1987-88 school
year, this grant was $875 per academic year. Financial need is not a factor in
determining eligibility. A separate application is required.

Georgia Incentive Grant (GIG), 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
to nine months after the borrower's education ends. These loans are available
to students who show a demonstrated financial need by applying with either
the FFS or FAF. 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 "low income" areas that are
designated by the Secretary of Education, for teaching handicapped children,
and for teaching in Head Start Programs.

Stafford Loans 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

TV 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 TV
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, Stafford 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
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 1.50 1

25-35 1.50 2

36-48 1.75 2

49-59 1.75 3

60-72 2.00 3

73-96 2.00 4

97-120 2.00 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 placed on Financial Aid Probation for the fall term and encouraged
to enroll in summer session courses at Oglethorpe to make up any deficiency
and maintain eligibility. If at the end of the summer session the student's
cumulative grade-point average is in compliance with the relevant standard,
the student will not be placed on probation during the fall. 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 Scholarship 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.

27

5. Establish financial need by filing a Family Financial Statement or
Financial Aid Form.

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

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

Payment of Awards

All awards, except college work-study earnings, Stafford Loans and
Supplemental Loans for Students, 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. The application procedure for all other assistance
programs may be determined by contacting the Office of Financial Aid.

Leadership Scholarships

Leadership Scholarships are available to students with superior academic
ability and special talents in important fields of extracurricular activity. The
program will include such activities as debating and public speaking; publi-
cations, both journalistic and literary; elective office, including student govern-
ment; choral performance; social service; and athletics. A fundamental aim
of Oglethorpe University is to prepare students for leadership roles in society.
One way of promoting this purpose is to give special recognition to students
who demonstrate leadership capabilities as undergraduates. Scholarships in
amounts up to full tuition and room and board are awarded to superior
students with good character and leadership capability who can contribute
significantly to one of the fields of extracurricular activity. The individual
amounts of these awards vary. It is the intent of this program to provide the
difference between the amount of other assistance, if any, and the annual cost
of attending Oglethorpe. Students must be nominated by members of the
faculty or staff in order to be considered for an award.

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

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

38

active duty in the regular Navy or Marine Corps, they are ordered to inactive
duty in the Navy or Marine Corps Reserve.

College Program Students

College program students are enrolled under the provision of Public Law
88-647. The college program can be entered during the freshman year or.
upon qualification, prior to April 1 of the sophomore year. Qualified
sophomores attend eight weeks of active duty schooling during the summer
before their junior year so they can join their classmates on an equal footing
in the junior year naval science classes. Prior to starting the junior year, the
college program student is required to enlist in the U.S. Naval Reserve for
a period of six years. The student must agree to serve on active duty for not
less than three years after appointment to commissioned rank in the U.S. Naval
Reserve or Marine Corps Reserve and to retain that commission until the sixth
anniversary of receipt of original commission.

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

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

Naval Science Students

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

Selection Procedure

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

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

chairperson of the Department of Aerospace Studies at the Georgia Institute
of Technology or the Registrar of Oglethorpe University.

General Information

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) offers two phases.
The first two years constitute the General Military Course (G.M.C) and the
last two years, the Professional Officer Course (P.O.C.).

Four-year Program

Students entering the four-year program enroll in AFROTC courses in
the same manner in which they cross register for other undergraduate courses
in University Center institutions; see the Oglethorpe Registrar for details. A
formal application is not required. Students enrolled in the G.M.C. incur no
military obligation unless they are on an AFROTC scholarship. Those students

41

desiring to become commissioned officers in the Air Force must compete
for entry into the P.O.C., which is normally taken during the last two years of
college. Between the sophomore and junior years, cadets normally attend a
four-week field training session conducted at an Air Force base. Students
accepted for the P.O.C. become members of the Air Force Reserve and receive
a tax-free subsistence allowance of $100 per month.

Two-year Program

The two-year program and the last two years of the four-year program
are identical in academic content. The basic requirement for entry into this
program is that the student must have two academic years remaining in school.
This may be at the undergraduate or graduate level or a combination of the
two. Selection of two-year applicants is predicated upon the same criteria as
selection of four-year program cadets. In addition, candidates must successfully
complete a six-week field training course at an Air Force base during the
summer preceding enrollment and must be recommended by the field training
staff to enter P.O.C. upon their return to the Oglethorpe campus.

AFROTC College Scholarship Program

AFROTC college scholarships are available to qualified cadets in the two-
and four-year programs. Scholarships cover tuition, matriculation, health
services, student activities fees, and most books. All scholarship cadets also

Finances

Fees and Costs

The fees, costs, and dates listed below are for 1989-90.

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 $4,175 per semester. Room and board is $1,875 per
semester. Students who desire single rooms are assessed $2,175 to $2,37 5
for room and board.

The tuition of $4,175 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 $140 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 information about various payment
options should request the pamphlet "Payment Plans." 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, the deposit is
credited to the student's account for the fall term.

Upon payment of the room and board fees, each student is covered
by a basic Health and Accident policy. Coverage begins on the day of
registration. 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 1988-89. They will change
for 1989-90.)

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 $60.

3. LABORATORY FEE: A $40 fee is assessed for each laboratory course
taken.

45

4. COMPUTER USE FEE: A $13 5 fee is assessed for each computer
science course taken.

Full-time on-campus student:

Advance Deposit 100

These schedules do not include the extra cost of single rooms, books
(approximately $300 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 $975 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

46

students receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration and other federal
agencies as these agencies must be notified when a student misses six
consecutive classes. This will result in an automatic decrease in payments to
the student. Reinstatement in a course is at the discretion of the instructor.
If a student must withdraw from the University, an official withdrawal
form must be obtained from the Registrar. The Dean of the Faculty and the
Director of Financial Aid must sign the withdrawal form. The date the
completed withdrawal form is submitted to the Registrar will be the official
date for withdrawal.

Refunds

The establishment of a refund policy is based on the University's
commitment to a fair and equitable refund of tuition and other charges
assessed. While the University advances this policy, it should not be interpreted
as a policy of convenience for students to take lightly their responsibility and
their commitment to the University. The University has demonstrated a
commitment by admitting and providing the necessary programs for all
students and expects students to reciprocate that commitment.

Since the premium for insurance coverage is not retained by the
University, it will not be refunded after registration day. Since room and board
services are consumed on a daily basis, during the period when tuition is
to be refunded on a 100% basis, the room and board refund will be pro rata
on a daily basis. After the 100% tuition refund period, room and board refunds
revert to the same schedule as tuition refunds. All other fees except the
advanced deposit 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.

47

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.

Financial Obligations

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 University 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 of access to personal
records.

As members of the Oglethorpe community, students have the
responsibility 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. They represent the University

50

off-campus and are expected to act in a law-abiding and mature fashion. Those
whose actions show that they have not accepted this responsibility may be
subject to disciplinary action as set forth in the University's student handbook,
The O Book.

The Oglethorpe Student Association

The Oglethorpe Student Association is the guiding body for student life
at Oglethorpe University. The OS. A. consists of two bodies: an executive
council, composed of a president, vice president, parliamentarian, secretary
treasurer, and 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 and the meetings 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 Organizations

Valuable educational experience 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.

Eligibility for membership in student organizations is limited to currently
enrolled students. To serve as an officer of an organization, a student must
be enrolled full time and may not be on academic or disciplinary probation.

Alpha Epsilon. The national sororities are Chi Omega and Sigma Sigma Sigma.

These social organizations strive to 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

Athletic Policy

At Oglethorpe University the students who participate in intercollegiate
athletic competition are considered to be students first and athletes second.
The University is an active member of Division 111 of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA). Members of Division III may not award financial
aid (other than academic honor awards) to any student athlete, except upon
a showing of financial need by the recipient. 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 do qualify for this form of assistance.

Athletics

Oglethorpe University offers intercollegiate competition in basketball,
cross country, soccer, and tennis for men; and in soccer, cross country Softball,
tennis, and volleyball for women.

In addition to intercollegiate competition, a well-rounded program of
intramural sports is offered and has strong participation by the student body.
Men and women participate in badminton, basketball, flag football, Softball,
table tennis, and volleyball.

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 exhibitions 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.

Cooperative Education/Internships

Experiential off-campus learning is a major component of the
educational process at Oglethorpe. Beginning in the sophomore year, students
can opt to further refine their career plans through cooperative education
and internships. These programs provide practical experience to complement
the academic program, as well as give students the opportunity to test the
reality of their career decisions and gain work experience in their major fields
of interest.

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

Counseling

Counseling assistance and referrals for professional services are available
to students experiencing psychological or social problems. Special programs
are conducted on campus to provide information and promote development
in leadership skills, inter-personal relationships, and physical and mental health.
Though academic advising is the responsibility of individually assigned faculty
advisers, students encountering unusual difficulties may wish to consult a
counselor regarding possible contributing factors.

Referrals to the University Chaplain for pastoral counseling are made
at the request of a student.

Career Planning and Placement

The Career Planning and Placement Office offers a four year program
of career development for students whose goals are an awareness of career
and lifestyle options, the ability to make informed career decisions, and the
development of job search strategies. The office helps students attain these
goals by providing individual counseling, interest inventories, and self-

53

assessment aids (including SIGI-PLUS, a computer assisted career guidance
program), workshops on career fields and decision-making as well as job-search
workshops on such topics as resume writing and interviewing techniques.
In addition, a number of prospective employers and graduate schools
send recruiters to the campus each year for the purpose of conducting on-
campus interviews. Current information on permanent, summer, and part-time
job opportunities is made available to students and alumni. A career
information library containing information on a wide variety of companies
and career opportunities is also maintained.

Opportunities in Atlanta

Oglethorpe is located eight miles from downtown Atlanta and just two
miles from the city's largest shopping center. A nearby rapid transit station
makes transportation quick and efficient. This proximity to the Souths most
vibrant city offers students a great variety of cultural and entertainment
opportunities. There are numerous excellent restaurants and clubs in nearby
Buckhead. Downtown Atlanta offers professional baseball, football and
basketball to sports fans as well as frequent popular concerts. The Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra performs from September through May in the Memorial
Arts Center. The Atlanta Ballet Company's season is October through May.
The Alliance Theatre Company, the Academy Theatre, and many smaller
companies present productions of contemporary and classical plays. The High
Museum of Art hosts major traveling exhibitions in addition to its permanent
collection. Student discounts are often available.

Housing and Meals

The residence halls are available to all full-time day students. There are
four men's residence halls and three women's halls. Each complex has a
Resident Director and a staff of student Resident Assistants.

All students living in the residence halls are required to participate in
the University meal plan. Meals are served in the Emerson Student Center.
Nineteen meals are served each week. No breakfast is served on Saturday
or Sunday. Instead a brunch is served from mid-morning until early afternoon.
The evening meal is also served on these days. Meal tickets are issued at
registration.

Health Service

All resident students subscribe to a Basic Student Accident and Sickness
Insurance Plan provided by the University. Full-time students living off campus
may purchase this insurance. In addition, any student covered under the basic
policy may purchase an optional Major Medical Plan for an additional charge.

The University maintains a small health center staffed by a registered
nurse. The health center operates on a regular schedule and provides basic
first aid service and limited medical assistance for students.

A physician visits the health center twice a week to make general diag-
nosis and treatment. In the event additional or major medical care is required,

54

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.

"O" Book

The "O" Book is the student's guide to Oglethorpe University. It contains
thorough information on the history, customs, traditional events, and services
of the University, as well as University regulations. This handbook outlines
the policies for recognition, membership eligibility and leadership positions
for campus student organizations and publications.

i ! IB

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.

59

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

The letter grades used at Oglethorpe are defined as follows:

to an "F" unless the remaining required work is completed
satisfactorily and the grade is changed by the instructor
before the end of the following semester.
**** Grade has no effect on the GPA; credit is awarded.
Only work completed at Oglethorpe is reflected in the Oglethorpe GPA.

Auditing Courses

Regularly admitted Oglethorpe students may register for courses on an
"audit" basis. A student who audits a course may attend the course for
enrichment but is not required to take course examinations or complete other
course requirements. In order to audit a course, a student must request an
"Audit Form" from the Registrar's Office and submit it to the instructor of the
course he or she intends to audit. If the class is not closed, the instructor
may accept the student as an audit by returning the signed form to the
Registrar's Office. The grade awarded for a class taken on an audit basis is
"AU," and no credits or quality points are earned.

Students may register to take courses on an audit basis only during the
normal time for dropping and adding courses. The fees for auditing courses
are published by the Business Office.

Dean's List

Students who earn a semester grade-point average of 3.5 or higher
carrying 14 semester hours or more during the fall or spring semester are
enrolled on the Dean's Academic Honors List.

Normal Academic Load

A normal academic program at Oglethorpe consists of no less than four
courses each semester, but generally five courses are taken, giving the student
a total of 12 to 16 semester hours each term. Regular students in the day
classes are expected to carry a normal load and to pay for a full schedule
of courses.

Withdrawal from the University

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

Withdrawal from a Course

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

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

63

Repetition of Courses

Courses may be repeated only if an unsatisfactory grade (D, F, FA, or
WF) was received in the course. When a course is repeated, both grades are
calculated into the student's grade point average

For courses completed prior to 1984, consult the Registrar for applicable
regulations.

Policy on Academic Fraud

Definitions

Cheating on Examinations

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

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

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

Plagiarism

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

Penalties for Academic Fraud

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

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

1) Dean of the Faculty.

2) The student's academic adviser.

3) Two faculty members appointed by the Dean of the Faculty.

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

64

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

Semester System

Two semesters constitute the regular academic year. Several day and
evening sessions are offered in the summer.

Division of Continuing Education

The University's Division of Continuing Education offers a variety of edu-
cational opportunities to adults in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Included
are credit courses in the liberal arts and business, non-credit courses, and
educational experiences designed to meet the specific needs of employers,
of organizations, and members of vocational groups.

Continuing Education Degree Program

An evening-weekend credit program serves two groups; those who wish
to take a limited number of courses for special purposes and those who desire
to earn baccalaureate degrees. Degree programs are offered in Accounting,
Business Administration, Business Administration and Computer Science,
Business Administration and Behavioral Science, Economics, and the
Individually Planned Major. Classes meet two nights a week (Monday and
Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday) and on Saturday mornings. The
academic year is divided into three full terms fall, spring and summer
and an abbreviated term in May. To qualify for the special tuition rates offered
continuing education students, a student must take all courses in the evening
or on Saturdays.

65

Non-Credit Course Program

The Division of Continuing Education serves as the University's
community service arm, providing non-credit courses for adults. The two non-
credit programs are the Learn and Live courses for personal enrichment, and
the Certificate in Management Development program offered in cooperation
with the American Management Association Extension Institution. Classes
meet on weekday evenings and Saturdays in fall, winter, spring, and
summer terms.

Human Resource Development

Training needs of business, industry, government, and vocational groups
in the north Atlanta area are met through individually designed seminars,
workshops, and conferences. Emphasis is placed on training for managers,
with a Certificate in Management awarded to individuals who complete the
prescribed course of study.

Additional information is available from Dean of Continuing Education

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 registration 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 disci pline(s) of the major and not required components of the core

70

curriculum. Each major includes a substantial component of advanced courses
which have specified prerequisites. A major may require for successful
completion a cummulative grade point average in the major field which is
higher than the 2.0 cummulative grade point average required for graduation.
Alternatively, the requirements for the major may state that only courses in
which a "C" or higher grade is received may be offered in satisfaction of the
major's requirements. The student is responsible for ensuring the fulfillment
of the requirements of the major selected. Specific requirements for each of
the majors listed below are indicated in the section of the Bulletin in which
the course offerings of the discipline are described or in the sections which
state the requirements of individually planned and interdisciplinary majors.
Please note that no course may be used to meet more than one degree
requirement.

The clinical training component of the medical technology major must
be completed in an approved health sciences program at a cooperating
institution (see p. 117).

Senior Honours Option

Juniors who have achieved a 3.3 or higher cumulative grade point average
(GPA) and a 3.5 or higher GPA in courses completed in a particular discipline
may apply to undertake an honours project in that discipline during their senior
year.

Junior Year

At the end of the first semester of the student's junior year, the student
asks a professor to act as the Tutor for an honours project. If the faculty
member agrees to do so, the Tutor and student decide on a list of preparatory
readings. The student becomes familiar with the works on the list during the
second semester of the junior year prior to registering for the initial semester
of honours work.

Senior Year

In order to register for honours work during the first semester of the
senior year, the student reports to the Tutor on work done on the reading
list and on topic definition. If the Tutor is satisfied that the student is prepared
to begin a research program, the Tutor initials the course entitled, {Discipline's
Name) Independent Study I, 2 semester hours.

Early in the semester, and no later than mid-semester, the honours stu-
dent presents a research prospectus to the Tutor, which, when approved by
the Tutor, is presented to the division chairperson for review. The division
chairperson reviews the prospectus and, if it is approved, recommends two
readers for the project one or more of whom may be outside the division.
The Tutor seeks the agreement of the recommended readers to serve in that
capacity and reports back to the division chairperson.

At the end of the semester the Tutor grades the student's work for the
semester. The student should have completed the research specified in the
prospectus and have an outline of the paper to be written. The student may
take a second semester of honours work only if an "A" is received for the
initial semester's work. Those who receive a "B" or lower grade will be asked
to withdraw from the honours program.

A continuing honours student registers for (Discipline's Name) Indepen-
dent Study II, 1 semester hour, for the second semester of the senior year.
A first draft of the paper should be ready for review by the Tutor prior to
mid-semester. After revisions and corrections, the final version is read by the
Tutor and the two faculty members who have agreed to act as readers. The
Tutor and readers consult on the grade for the paper. If they are unable to
reach agreement, the division chairperson will be asked to participate in the
consultations. Only an "A" paper constitutes successful completion of the
honours program. The credit hours earned in the honours program may be
counted as academic credit in the discipline in which the work was done.

Students who successfully complete the program have inscribed on their
diplomas "Honours in (Discipline's Name). The honours program should not be
confused with overall academic honors, which are announced at the 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.

Dual Degree Program in Art

Students seeking a broadly based educational experience involving the
types of programs generally found at a college of arts and sciences as well
as the specialized training offered by a professional college may wish to
consider the dual degree program in art. Oglethorpe University and The
Atlanta College of Art (ACA) offer a joint program for students interested in
a career in the visual arts. In this program, the student enrolls at Oglethorpe
for two years, completes 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 at least twelve credit hours in studio electives at Oglethorpe.
Upon successful completion of all of the core requirements plus the afore-
mentioned art courses, the student enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art and
completes 7 5 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

A student who wishes to pursue a course of study not comprehended
in one of the available majors may petition to receive permission to complete
an individually planned major. Such a major must include at least 33 semester
hours of coursework beyond core requirements.

At least 18 semester hours of the major must be completed in courses
above the introductory level in a particular field. This field will be defined

73

as the major's principal field. Graded coursework in the major must average
at least 2.0. A student may not simultaneously receive a major or minor in
the principal field of the individually planned major.

To apply for an individually planned major, the student, in consultation
with his or her academic adviser, must complete an application to be reviewed
by the academic dean and the chairperson of the division in which the
proposed major's principal field is included. This application should be
submitted by the end of the second semester of the student's sophomore
year. The application must specify the following:

1. The major's coverage and definition.

2. The observed or expected conceptual linkages among the principal
field and the other subject(s) included in the major.

3. The expected outcomes of the completion of the major in terms of
the student's intellectual growth and plans for graduate study
or career.

The student's academic adviser forwards the application to the
appropriate division chairperson. The chairperson consults with the academic
dean. The chairperson notifies the faculty adviser of the acceptance or
rejection of the proposal, and the adviser contacts the student.

The degree awarded upon successful completion of an approved
individually planned major is Bachelor of Arts.

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
74

as the submission of acceptable scores on appropriate standardized tests.
However; premedical students have a wide latitude of choice with regard to
the major selected. Students should familiarize themselves with the particular
admission requirements of the type of professional school they plan to enter
prior to deciding on the course of study to be pursued at Oglethorpe.

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

Allied Health Studies

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

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

Prelegal Program

Students planning to enter law school after graduation from Oglethorpe
should realize that neither the American Bar Association nor leading law
schools endorse a particular prelaw major. The student is advised, however,
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 historically 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.

75

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. They also allow students to explore par-
ticular career options.

Opportunities are available in all majors for students who (1) demonstrate
a clear understanding of the goals they wish to accomplish in the experience
and (2) possess the necessary academic and personal background to
accomplish these goals.

Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education is a non-credit program in which students
alternate semesters of work and study until graduation. Students begin the
co-op experience in their junior year. Opportunites are available with major
employers 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, up to a maximum of fifteen hours.

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 Career Planning and Placement, Internship, and Cooperative
Education in Lupton Hall.

Cross Registration

Oglethorpe University is a member of the University Center in Georgia,
a consortium of institutions of higher education in 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

76

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.

which the language of instruction was not English may satisfy the

language requirement, (3), with English as a Second Language I & II.

They may satisfy the study abroad requirement, (4), via their residency

in the United States.

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

80

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.

Requirements of the Major Include:

1. Completion of the following courses:

1333 Calculus 1

Oglethorpe
^Jniversity

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.

History

The study of history introduces students to important events of the past
and the people who played significant roles in them. Embracing the principal
fields of liberal education, the study of history enlarges one's understanding
of political organizations, economic arrangements, social institutions, religious
experiences and the various forms of intellectual expression. An appreciation
for the Western heritage is one of its main objectives.

Course offerings at Oglethorpe are divided about equally 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. 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

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.
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
108

uninformed opinion. Political studies provides good training for life in a world
that is, for better or worse shaped profoundly by political institutions. It is
especially appropriate for those interested in careers in law, business, teaching,
journalism and government.
Major

The requirements for a major in political studies are satisfactory
completion of at least ten political studies courses (2214, 3214, and 4212 may
be counted as political studies courses) as well as four elective (non-core)
courses in related subjects, no more than two of which may be in the same
subject. These "related subjects" include all history courses, as well as courses
in philosophy, sociology, economics, quantitative methods, or a foreign
language, subject to the discretion of the student's advisor.

All majors must take C222, Introduction to Political Studies, which may
be used either to fulfill a major requirement or a core requirement, but not
both. Majors must take courses in all four basic subfields of the discipline
(American government, comparative politics, international relations, and
political philosophy).
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 major in one of the fields of
the natural sciences or mathematics, the student should consult with the
appropriate faculty members in the division at the time of the first registration.
Careful planning of the program of study is important, so that the student
is aware of departmental and divisional requirements and allowable options
within the major. Each student must complete the core requirements as well
as those departmental and divisional requirements as may apply to the specific
degree.

Three semesters of the course Science Seminar (2351, described under
Biology below) are required for all science majors. A grade-point average of
2.00 or higher in all courses listed as required for the major must be achieved
in order to graduate in one of the fields within the Division.

Biology

The curriculum in biology provides a foundation in both classical and
contemporary biological concepts and prepares the student for continuing
intellectual growth and professional development in the life sciences. The
program supplies the appropriate background for employment in research
institutions, industry, and government; the curriculum also prepares students
for graduate school and for professional schools of medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine, and the like. Students planning to attend graduate or
professional schools should recognize that admission to such schools is often
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 as 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 I and
II, Microbiology, Human Physiology, General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chem-
istry I and II, Elementary Quantitative Analysis, College Algebra or Calculus
I, and appropriate core courses. At least 60 semester hours must be completed
at Oglethorpe in order to be eligible for an Oglethorpe degree in Medical
Technology.

Mathematics

Mathematics is both an art and a science. Students taking mathematics
courses at Oglethorpe will encounter both the art of creative thought and
the science of logical thought. Problem solving capabilities are developed
in mathematics courses. Since such skills are essential in all fields of endeavor,
mathematics makes an important contribution to a liberal arts education.

In particular, mathematics 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.

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 personality,
emotional stability and physical stamina, a desire to work with children and/or
youth, a grade of at least C in English Composition I & 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
124

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. All general
education core requirements must be met, with the following exceptions:
American History I and II must be included as general education courses;
students concentrating in Early Childhood take Teaching of Art in lieu of the
core fine arts requirement; and those concentrating in Early Childhood or
in Middle Grades are exempt from the core international studies requirement.

Students should select Introduction to Education during 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 professional 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 Mathematical Science) 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; 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 disorders,
social interaction, and physiological bases for behavior and thought. The study
of psychology should help a student to develop skills in three basic areas:
skills associated with the scientific method including data collection, analysis
and interpretation; skills that are useful in the construction and evaluation
of theories such as analytic and synthetic reasoning; and skills in human
relations through which the student learns to become a more precise and
more tolerant observer of human behavior and individual differences. Many
students with a background in psychology choose careers in psychology-related
fields such as counseling, psychotherapy, or research, but many others choose
careers that are not so directly tied to psychology. For example, psychology
provides a good background for careers in law, education, marketing,
management, public relations, publishing, and communications.

in the division only if the grade received is 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.

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

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, and to provide
members of the teaching profession with the opportunity to enhance their
competencies and knowledge in the area of elementary education. Inherent
in the guiding philosophy is the assumption that graduate study includes more
than the passing of prescribed courses and the meeting of minimum
requirements. All students who receive graduate degrees must possess a broad
knowledge of the literature of their field of study, be capable of sustained
study, exhibit the power of independent thinking, and possess reasonable
knowledge of the techniques of research.

148

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 prior to 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

149

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. In lieu of full transcripts and regular applica-
tions the student must submit a transient student application form completed
by the graduate dean listing specific courses to be taken for credit. Any student
admitted on this basis should understand that registration terminates upon
the completion of the work authorized by the degree-granting institution. If
later electing to seek a degree from Oglethorpe University the student must
make formal application for admission and may petition to have credit earned
as a transient student applied toward the degree at the University.

Unclassified. A degree holder who is not at present a candidate for a
degree at Oglethorpe University, such as a person seeking to meet certifica-
tion requirements or local school requirements, may be admitted without
presenting test scores or recommendations. The student must present
transcripts and verification of an undergraduate degree in education, including
satisfactory completion of student teaching. Credit earned by a student in
this category may be counted toward the degree only with consent of the
Teacher Education Council or the Director of the Graduate Program.

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.
150

The maximum course load for any graduate student is 12 credit hours
per semester or six credit hours in a summer term. 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
