Oglethorpe university 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. 6 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.

An outdoor swimming pool is adjacent to the building. Lupton Hall Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor of John Thomas Lupton, was one of the three original buildings on the present Oglethorpe University campus. It was renovated in 1973 and contains all administrative offices and an auditorium with seating for 3 50 persons. The University Business Office is located on the lower level of Lupton Hall; the office of the Dean of the Faculty, the Registrar, and the Admissions Office are on the first floor; the Office of the President, Executive Vice President, Dean of Community Life Office of Counseling and Career Development, Offices of Development, Public Relations, Alumni Affairs, and two lecture halls are on the second floor. The Office of Financial Aid, faculty offices of the Division of Economics and Business Administration, and a computer laboratory are on the third floor. The cast bell carillon in the Lupton tower has 42 bells which chime the quarter hours. 13 Phoebe Hearst Hall Phoebe Hearst Hall was built in 1915 in the handsome neo-Gothic architecture that dominates the Oglethorpe campus. The building is named in honor of Phoebe Apperson Hearst, the mother of William Randolph Hearst, Sr. It was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a classroom and faculty office building. Most classes, with the exception of science and mathematics, are held in this building which is located directly across from Lupton Hall. The University book store is located on the lower level of the building. The dominant feature of the building is the beautiful Great Hall, the site of many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe. Located on the ground floor of the building is the much-publicized Crypt of Civilization. This capsule was sealed on May 28, 1940, and is not to be opened until May 28, 8113. Goslin Hall Goslin Hall was completed in 1971 and houses the Division of Science. Laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics, and lecture halls are located in the building. Goslin Hall was named in honor of Dr. Roy N. Goslin, Professor Emeritus of Physics, for his many years of dedicated work for the college and the nation. A new physics laboratory made possible by a grant from the Olin Foundation, was opened in 1979. All laboratories were renovated in 1985. Traer Hall Built in 1969, Traer Hall is a three-story women's residence which houses 168 students. Construction of the building was made possible through the generosity of the late Wayne S. Traer, Oglethorpe University alumnus of the Class of 1928. The double occupancy rooms, arranged in suites, open onto a central plaza courtyard. As are all buildings on the Oglethorpe campus, Traer Hall is completely air-conditioned. Goodman Hall Goodman Hall was built in 1956 and renovated in 1970, when it was transformed from a men's into a women's residence hall. The building contains 26 single occupancy rooms. Upper Residence Hall Complex Five residence halls are situated 'around the upper quadrangle. Constructed in 1968, four of these buildings house men and one is for women. A $1.2 million redesign of the complex began in 1979, and was completed in 1985. All rooms on the first and second floors are suites with private entrances and baths. Faith Hall The Student Health Center is located on the upper level of Faith Hall, together with art studios and lecture rooms. The lower level of Faith Hall houses the maintenance facility. R. E. Dorough Field House The Dorough Field House is the site of intercollegiate basketball and volleyball, intramural and recreational sports, and large campus gatherings such as concerts and commencement exercises. Built in 1960, this structure underwent major renovation in 1979. The building is named for the late R. E. Dorough, a former Trustee of the University. Athletic Facilities Intercollegiate soccer and intramural softball are played on Anderson Field which is between Hermance Stadium and the field house. The intramural softball field is located behind the upper residence hall complex. Six tennis courts are adjacent to the field house and below them is a six lane, all-weather reslite track. A student sponsored physical fitness center is located in the Emerson Student Center. Oglethorpe xlniversi versity 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.

V 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.

The fund was esablished in memory of Mr. Najjar, who, with his aunt "Miss Sadie" Mansour, operated the Five Paces Inn, a family business, in the Buckhead section of Atlanta. The Five Paces Inn has been a popular establishment for Oglethorpe students for many years. A number of Oglethorpe alumni, especially students in the late 50's and early 60's, established this fund in Mr. Najjar's memory. The Timothy P. Tassopoulos Endowed Student Loan Fund was estab- lished by Mr. S. Truett Cathy, President of Chick-fil-A, Inc., in honor of Timothy P. Tassopoulos, class of 1981. These short-term loans will be made interest free to needy students who are in good standing in the University. ROTC Reserve Officers Training Corps Oglethorpe University has made arrangements for students to participate in the Navy Air Force, and Marine Corps ROTC program at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Army ROTC program at Georgia State University.

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. 39 Courses N.S. 1002.

Interested students should contact the 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 receive a tax-free subsistence allowance of $100 per month.

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: Fall, 1989 Spring, 1990 Tuition $4,175 Tuition $4,175 Room & Board 1.87 5 Room & Board 1,87 5 Damage Deposit 100 Damage Deposit Major Medical (optional) . . 50 Major Medical (optional) .... Advance Deposit 200 Full-time commuting student: Fall, 1989 Tuition $4,175 Spring, 1990 Tuition $4,175 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 A student who has not met all financial obligations to the University will not be allowed to register for courses in subsequent academic terms; he or she will not be allowed to receive a degree from the University; and requests for transcripts will not be honored. 48 Oglethorpe TIniversity Community Life -". :- i- ^.^ ' 4 ^|l ^ /CSC 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.

The four fraternities are Chi Phi, Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha, and Sigma 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 subject to regulations established by the Interfratemity Council, the Panhellenic Council, and the Dean of Community Life. 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. 52 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.

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.

MmMm\ .it mi' 1 B #1 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: Quality Numerical Grade Meaning Points Equivalent A Superior 4 90-100 B Good 3 80-89 C Satisfactory 2 70-79 D Passing 1 60-69 F Failure Below 60 FA Failure: Excessive Absences* W Withdrew** WF Withdrew Failing* I Incomplete*** S Satisfactory**** 70 or higher u Unsatisfactory* AU Audit (no credit) Notes: * Grade has same effect as an "F" on the grade-point average (GPA). * * Grade has no effect on the GPA; no credit awarded. * * * Grade has same effect as an "F" on the GPA; an "I" changes to an "F" unless the remaining required work is completed satisfactorily and the grade is changed by the instructor before the end of the following semester. **** Grade has no effect on the GPA; credit is awarded. Only work completed at Oglethorpe is reflected in the Oglethorpe GPA. 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. 60 Graduation Requirements To earn a baccalaureate degree from the University the following requirements must be met: 1) Completion of 120 semester hours of course credit, with an Oglethorpe cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher. 2) Completion at Oglethorpe of the 60 semester hours of course credit immediately preceding graduation (except by special permission by the Dean of the Faculty the chairman of the division in which the student is majoring, and the student's adviser). 3) Satisfaction of core requirements and major field or dual degree re- quirements (see appropriate disciplinary headings for descriptions). 4) Submission of an application for graduation to the Registrar's Office during the semester or session preceding the graduation at which the degree is to be awarded (fall semester for those who complete requirements in December). 5) Satisfaction of all financial and other obligations to the University and payment of a diploma fee. 6) Participation in assessments of competencies gained and curricular effectiveness by completing standardized or other tests and surveys. 7) Receipt of formal faculty approval for graduation. Master of Arts degree candidates are referred to the Division VI section of this bulletin for a description of degree requirements and other academic regulations which pertain to the graduate program. Good Standing, Probation and Academic Dismissal To be in good standing students must achieve the cumulative grade-point averages specified below in relation to the number of semester hours they have completed. Cumulative GPA Required Semester Hours Completed for Good Standing 0-35 1.50 36-65 1.75 66 and above 2.00 Students who fail to achieve good standing are placed on probation. Students who do not achieve good standing for two consecutive semesters (summer session excluded) are subject to dismissal from the University for academic reasons. New students, freshmen or transfer students, who do not pass even one course during their first semester at Oglethorpe are dismissed. Students who have been dismissed for academic reasons may be readmitted after an absence of one spring or fall semester upon petition to the Dean of the Faculty. Students readmitted by petition must achieve good standing by the end of their second semester as readmitted students or be dismissed permanently. ol Degrees Oglethorpe offers four degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science. Bachelor of Business Administration, and Master of Arts. For the Bachelor of Arts degree the following majors are offered: American Studies, Business Administration and Behavioral Sciences, Economics, Education (Early Child- hood. Middle Grades, and Secondary with concentrations available in English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies), English, History, Individually Planned Major, International Studies, Philosophy Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology, and Sociology-Social Work.

For the Bachelor of Business Administration degree, majors are offered in Accounting, Business Administration, Business Administration/ Computer Science, and Economics. The Master of Arts degree is offered only in the field of education with concentrations in early childhood or middle grades education (see Division VI section of this bulletin). Under certain conditions it is also possible for a student to receive a degree from Oglethorpe under the Professional Option. Through this arrange- ment and in accord with regulations of the University, the student may transfer to an accredited professional institution such as law school, dental school, or medical school at the end of the junior year and then, after one year in the professional school, receive a degree from Oglethorpe. Students inter- ested in this possibility should consult with their advisers to make certain that all conditions are met. Degrees With Academic Honors Degrees with honors are awarded as follows: cum laude for a cumulative average of 3.5 or higher; magna cum laude for 3.7 or higher; and summa cum laude for 3.9 or higher. The academic requirements for honors must be met on all work completed at Oglethorpe and on all the combined work taken at Oglethorpe and at other institutions, if that work is presented in satisfaction of degree requirements. To be eligible for academic honors, the student must have completed 60 or more semester hours at Oglethorpe. See also, Senior Honours Option. Earning a Second Baccalaureate Degree Students who have completed a baccalaureate degree may earn a second baccalaureate degree at Oglethorpe. For students who earned their first baccalaureate degree at Oglethorpe the requirements are: 1. Completion of an additional 30 semester hours while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher. 1 5 of the 30 semester hours must be completed at Oglethorpe. 2. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time 6 2 the first degree was awarded. For students who earned their first baccalaureate degree at another institution, the requirements are: 1. Satisfaction of Oglethorpe core requirements. 2. Completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours work at Oglethorpe. 3. Maintenance of a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade point average. 4. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time the first degree was awarded. The degree from the other institution is treated as transfer credit; up to a maximum of ninety semester hours may be accepted. Student Classification For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes, undergraduate students are classified according to the number of semester hours successfully completed. Classification is as follows: to 30 hours freshman; 31 to 60 hours sophomore; 61 to 90 hours junior; 91 hours and above senior. Normal Academic Load A normal academic program at Oglethorpe consists of no less than four courses each semester, but generally five courses are taken, giving the student a total of 12 to 16 semester hours each term. Regular students in the day classes are expected to carry a normal load and to pay for a full schedule of courses. Withdrawal from the University Students who wish to withdraw from the University during a semester are asked to complete the appropriate form, which is available at the Registrar's Office. The grade "W" or "WF" will be assigned for courses in progress, depending upon the student's academic progress in those courses. Withdrawal from a Course The grade "W" or "WF" is assigned to a student who withdraws from a course (turns in a properly executed withdrawal form at the Registrar's Office) from the conclusion of drop and add period through midterm or the middle of a mini or summer session. After that time the grade "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 of their rights under this act in the student handbook, The "O" Book. Three basic rights are covered by this act: (1) The student's right to have access to personal records, (2) the right of a hearing to challenge the content of a record, and (3) the right to withhold or give consent for the release of identifying data. Additional information may be obtained from The "O" Book and from the Registrar. 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 at (404) 233-6662. 66 The Curriculum Organization Oglethorpe's curriculum is arranged in six general divisions: Humanities; History and Political Studies; Science; Education and Behavioral Sciences; Economics and Business Administration; and Graduate Studies. Academic areas included within each division are as follows; Division I: The Humanities Art Drama English and Literature Foreign Languages Music Philosophy Writing Division II: History and Political Studies History Political Studies Division III: Science Biology Chemistry Mathematics Physics Division IV: Education and Behavioral Sciences Early Childhood Education Middle Grades Education Secondary Education Psychology Sociology Social Work Division V: Economics and Business Administration Accounting Business Administration Computer Science Economics Division VI: Graduate Studies M.A. in Early Childhood and Middle Grades Education Interdisciplinary Course Offerings American Studies Human Nature Politics, and Society Physical Fitness Under the semester system, courses of one to five semester hours credit are offered. A full-time student carries a normal academic load of five courses during each semester. (15 semester hours). A minimum of 120 hours (or their equivalent for transfer students) is required for graduation. Some programs may require additional credit. The core curriculum, as described below, is required of all four-year, degree-seeking students in the undergraduate program. 68 Core Curriculum The core curriculum is a specified set of courses in the fundamental fields of knowledge: composition and communication, the humanities, the behavioral and social sciences, mathematics and the natural sciences. A required component of every undergraduate program, the core is designed to develop the following knowledge, skills, and sensitivities: 1) The ability to comprehend English prose at an advanced level. 2) The ability to convey ideas in writing and in speech accurately, grammatically, and persuasively. 3) Skill in reasoning logically about important matters. 4) An understanding of the values and principles that have shaped Western civilization and of the methods employed in historical inquiry. 5) A knowledge and appreciation of great literature, especially the great literature of the English-speaking world. 6) An appreciation of one or more of the arts and an understanding of artistic excellence. 7) An acquaintance with the methods of inquiry of mathematics and science and with the results of the efforts of scientists to understand physical and biological phenomena. 8) An understanding of the most thoughtful reflections on right and wrong and an allegiance to principles of right conduct. 9) A basic understanding of our economic, political, and social systems and of the psychological and sociological influences on human behavior. 10) An inclination to continue learning after graduation from college and skill in the use of books and other intellectual tools for that purpose. Core courses are taught by all faculty members in the disciplines included in the core. The following is the core program, listed in the approximate suggested sequence for completion.

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). Accounting History American Studies Individually Planned Biology Major Business Administration International Studies Business Administration and Mathematics Behavioral Science Mathematics/ Business Administration/ Computer Science Computer Science Medical Technology Chemistry Philosophy Economics Physics Education-Early Childhood Political Studies Education-Middle Grades Psychology Education-Secondary Sociology English Sociology-Social Work Minor Programs Minor programs are available in some fields. Students should consult the section of the Bulletin in which a particular discipline is described to ascertain whether a minor is offered and what its specific requirements are. A minor consists of at least 1 5 semester hours of course work beyond any core requirements in that discipline. Accounting History Art Mathematics Biology Music Chemistry Philosophy Computer Science Political Studies Economics Psychology English Sociology French Writing "1 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. 72 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.

Note: Students who graduated from a secondary school located abroad at which the language of instruction was not English may satisfy the language requirement, (3), with English 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.

Prerequisite: 1101. 90 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.

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). C222.

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. Major The requirements for a major in biology are as follows: in sequence, General Biology 1 and II, Genetics, Microbiology, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, Human Physiology plus three additional directed biology courses; General Chemistry 1 and II (with laboratories), Organic Chemistry I and II (with laboratories), Elementary Quantitative Analysis; General Physics I and II; six semester hours of mathematics; three semester hours of Science Seminar.

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.

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. Major The object of the course of studies leading to a major in mathematics is to provide the student with a comprehensive background in classical analysis and a broad introduction to the topics of modern and contemporary mathematics.

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.

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.

Major requirements may be satisfied with a course 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.

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. Major The six courses required of all students in the division and the following courses.

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.

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 only the number of hours which can be successfully completed. Advisement Upon admission to the Graduate Division, each student is assigned to a member of the graduate faculty in education who serves as adviser and guides the student in planning a program of study. Grading The quality of work of courses taken in the graduate program is indicated by the marks A, B, C, D, and F. Grades of I and W are reserved for special cases. Listed below are requirements for each of these grades: A Excellent, with four quality points for each credit hour B Good, with three quality points for each credit hour C Poor, with two quality points for each credit hour D Unsatisfactory work F Failing work or unofficial withdrawal 1 Incomplete may be used if the student, because of unusual cir- cumstances, is unable to complete the required work in the pre- scribed time interval, provided the student was doing satisfactory work. Such a grade must be removed by the completion of the work within one year or the I becomes an F. W Official withdrawal may be permitted if the student's progress is interrupted by illness or other emergencies. Standards Candidates for the master's degree must meet the following academic standards: 1. The student's overall grade-point average for work submitted in a graduate program must be 3.0 or higher. 2. If, in any case, the candidate fails to maintain satisfactory academic standards a review by the Teacher Education Council will determine the student's continuation in a graduate program. Any student will be placed on Academic Probation who falls below a B average (GPA-3.0) or has a total of two course grades of C or below. Any student will be dismissed from the Graduate Program who receives a third grade of C or less or who does not achieve a B average upon completion of three additional graduate courses. Admission to Candidacy Application for admission to candidacy for the Master of Arts degree must be filed with the Chairman of the Graduate Division after the student 151 has 12 semester hours of graduate study at Oglethorpe University. Admis- sion to candidacy would be given or refused following an examination of the overall work of the student and careful review of the work completed at Oglethorpe. Notice of action taken on application for admission to candidacy would be given in writing to the student and to the student's adviser. The student seeking the Master of Arts degree must furnish certification by the Chairman of the Education Department of eligibility for first professional cer- tification or include appropriate make-up work in the program. Graduation Course Requirements. The program leading to the master's degree will require a minimum of 36 semester hours of course credit beyond the bache- lor's degree.
