Tradition, Purpose
and Goals

Tradition, Purpose, and Goals

Oglethorpe derives its institutional purpose from an awareness and apprecia-
tion 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 ha\e 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 universities,
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 institutions in the last
century and has left its mark on every college and university in the country.

The third idea or model is that of the land-grant college, a uniquely American
institution created by the Morrill Act, passed by Congress in 1862. This model
emphasizes large-scale technical education and service to agriculture and industry.
It has contributed especially to education in such fields as engineering and
agriculture and has been the foundation on which many of the state universities
have been built.

Oglethorpe University identifies itself with the tradition of the English college.
Established in 1835 and named after General James Edward Oglethorpe, the
founder of Georgia, the University was patterned on Corpus Christi College,
Oxford, General Oglethorpe's ahua dialer. It would be oxerstating the matter to say
that Oglethorpe University has been untouched by the other two conceptions of
higher education, but it has certainly been shaped principally by the English
tradition of collegiate education.

What are the distinctive features of that tradition? Hundreds of books have
been written on the subject, perhaps the most influential of which is John Henrv
Newman's The Idea of a Ihiiivrsity, one of the great educational classics. Brief!)'
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 luidergraduate education
for the able young person than technical training for a specific job.

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

3. C'lose relationships between teacher and student are indispensable to this
type of education. A teacher is much more than a convevor of information
the invention of the printing press made that notion of education

10

obsolete. Rather, the most important fmictioii of the teac hei is to stimulate
intellectual activity in the student and to piomote his development as a
mature person. Factory-like instruction, conducted in huge classes, is the
very antithesis of the English tradition.
4. A collegiate education is far more than a coUec tion of academic courses. It is
a process of development in which campus leadership o|jportunities,
residential life, athletics, formal and informal social functions, aesthetic
experiences, and contact with students from other c ultiues, in addition tcj
classroom exercises, all play imjiortant 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 tcj 195!^. Oglethorpe, he said, should
be a "small college which is superlatively good." Only at a small college with
carefully selected students and facult\, he believed, could voimg persons achieve
their fullest intellectual development through an intense dialogue with extraordi-
nary teachers. Thus, a commitment to limited size and supei ior 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 voung people to function effectixelv
in our complex and rapidly changing society. What are the recjuirements 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 eflectivelv
in changing circumstances. Rigid specialization, with its training in current prac-
tice, ill prepares the graduate for responsibilities in such a societ\. The broadly
educated person, schooled in fundamental principles, is better equipped to
exercise leadership in a world that is being transformed bv high technology and
new information. This point has been made persuasively by John Naisbitt in the
first chapter of his nc:)table 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 c^f the humane generalist the kind
of leader needed by a complex and changing society. Our pvnpose 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 pri\ate 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.

II

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 understand the 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 beha\ ior.

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 extracurricular life are structured to engender in stu-
dents the following:

1. The willingness and ability to assume the responsibilities of leadership in
public and private life, including skill in organizing the efforts of other
persons in behalf of worthy causes.

2. An inclination to continue one's learning after graduation from college and
skill in the use of books and other intellectual tools for that purpose.

3. A considered commitment to a set of career and life goals.

4. An awareness of the increasingly international character of contemporary
Hfe and skill in interacting with persons of diverse cultural backgrounds.

The graduate program in teacher education seeks to support elementary and
middle grades education in the University's neighboring community by providing
members of the teaching profession with the opportunitv to enhance their knowl-
edge and skills in areas of assessed need. The program enables practicing teachers
and other students to achieve career advancement by earning the initial graduate
degree in the field of education. Program graduates are expected to ha\e de\ eloped
and demonstrated:

1. Familiarity with the scholarly literature in their field of studv.

2. Expertise in appropriate research techniques.

3. The capacity for sustained study and independent thought.

12

The continuing education program enables members of the metropolitan
community to pursue their educational goals in a variety of programs and coui ses.
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 possible.
Courses focused on the goals of personal enrichment and profiessional develop-
ment 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 and students in their subsequent education,
a wide variety of careers, and community life attests to the soundness of this
approach to education.

History

Oglethorpe University was chartered in 1835 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 James Edward
Oglethorpe, who had established the (Colony of Georgia some one hundred vears
earlier in order to defend British North America and pro\'ide a new field of
economic opportunity for the disadvantaged. Oglethorpe University 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 Git\ Hall.

The University's 20th-century history began with its re-toiniding 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 Uni\ersitv 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 program
rapidly during the 1920s 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 undergraduate
curriculum in the arts and sciences, business administration, and education that is
designed for students of above-average ability and motivation. 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 1,100 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 twent)-fne other coun-
tries. Education at Oglethorpe is intended to be a cosmopolitan and broadening
experience. The University has become increasingly selecti\e in admissions, and
most of its entering students come from the top ten percent of high school
graduates.

Special attention has been given to keeping 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 availabilit\
of a variety of financial aid programs also helps to ensure that academically able
students from varying socio-economic backgrounds are able to enroll.

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

15

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 leader-
ship in their chosen fields and professions and in community affairs.

Admissions

Admissions

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

Freshman Applicants

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

Arrangements to take the SAT or ACT may be made through a secondary
school guidance counselor or by writing directly to one of the testing agencies. For
SAT write to the College Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540, or Box
1025, Berkeley, California 90701. For ACT write to American College Testing
Program, P.O. Box 451, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. It is to the applicant's advantage to
take one of the tests late in the junior year or early in the senior year of high school.

Applicants should normally have or be in the process of completing a second-
ary 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 Hnal 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 recei\ed.

Students may choose from early decision and regular decision admissions.

Application Procedure

All correspondence concerning admission should be addressed to the Office of
Admissions, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Ceorgia 30319. After receiving the
application form, the applicant should complete and return it with an application
fee of $25.

Entering freshmen must also submit the following: letter of reference from a
high school counselor or teacher; oflicial lianscripl of high school work: and SAT or
ACTscores. Transfer students must submit the completed application form with the
$25 application fee, plus the following: letter of good standing from the registrar or
dean of the college previously attended, official transcript of each college attended,
and a high school transcript and test scores if less than one full year of college work
has been completed.

When a student has completed the application process, the Director of
Admissions and the Admissions Committee will review the application. Within two

99

weeks, the applicant will be notified of the committee's decision. It accepted, the
student will be required to submit an emollment deposit to reserve accommoda-
tions for the appropriate session. Residence hall students submit a deposit of $200,
commuters $100. While the deposit is not refundable, it is applicable toward tuition
and fees.

Early Decision

This program allows students for whom Oglethorpe is their first choice to be
considered on a priority basis. Completed applications with supporting materials
are due on or before December 1. Candidates will be required to certify that they are
not applying to any other colleges under an Early Decision plan. Notification on
admission b) Oglethorpe will be made on or about December 15. Earlv Decision
candidates applying for scholarship or financial aid assistance must file the appro-
priate forms b)' January 7.

Accepted students will be required to submit their deposits by February 1 and
to certify that they have withdrawn applications from other schools. Early Decision
students who do not submit their deposit as required will have offers of admission
and financial assistance rescinded.

Regular Decision

Candidates for Regular Decision may submit their applications at any time,
although the University will accept applicants after March 1 only on a "space-
available" basis. To be considered, freshman applicants should submit a completed
application form, high school transcripts, standardized test scores, and recommen-
dation(s). Achievement tests, essays, portfolios, or \'ideos are not required for
admission purposes, but will be considered if submitted. Interviews and campus
\isits are not required but are strongly recommended.

If upon re\iew of an applicant's file, it is felt that further information would be
helpful (i.e. mid-year grades), the student will be notified. Decisions will be mailed
on or about February 1, and afterwards on a rolling basis.

Transfer Students

Students who wish to transfer to Oglethorpe from other regionally accredited
colleges are welcome, pro\'ided 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 exceptions:

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.

Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses comparable to
University courses which are applicable to a degree program offered at

23

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 Provost, 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 (m an official
transcript and must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

Transfer students on prc^bation or exclusion from another institution will not
be accepted.

Transfer students must have a grade-point average of 2.3 (on a 4.0 scale) to be
eligible for admission.

Oglethorpe does not accept a "D" grade as transfer credit, unless a student has
graduated from an accredited junior college, or a "D" grade is followed by a "C"
grade or better in a normal sequence course (e.g.. General Biology I and II).

Transfer students who have earned the Associate of Arts degree at a regionally
accredited junior college will be awarded two years of credit. The remaining two
years of academic credit will be determined by the Pro\'ost 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 Uni\ersity will accept as many as 30 hours of United States Armed

Financial Assistance

Programs

Oglethorpe University offers a variety of strategies and resources to lower the
cost of an Oglethorpe education. All families are urged to complete an approved
needs analysis form regardless of their income level. Ihe University's financial aid
professionals will then have the information necessary to discuss all options
available to parents and students. 1 he approved needs analysis forms (FFS, FAF,
Singlefile, etc.) are the common forms by which students may apply for all campus-
based programs (Perkins Loans [NDSL], Supplemental Kducational Opp<Mtunity
Grants, College Work-Study), and at the same time, apply for the Pell Oram, the
Stafford Loan, as well as the Georgia Incentive Grant, if a resident of Cieoi gia. After
filing the needs analysis form, the student will receive an acknowledgement from
the processor plus a 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 communitv. Applications must be
received by mid-December.

Oglethorpe Scholars Awards (OSA) Scholarships based on achiexement are
available to students with superior academic ability. 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 superior academic aloilities as undergraduates. Scholarships range
upwards from $500.

Recipients of funds from this program are expected to maintain specified
levels of academic achievement and make a contribution to the Oglethorpe commu-
nity. 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 \s ill be pro\ ided to students who demon-
strate exceptional work experience and skills. The number of positions may vary
each year. Students should complete the College Employment Application in
addition to the approved needs anah sis form.

College Work-Study Program (CWSP) permits a student to earn part of his or
her educational expenses. The earnings from this program and other financial aid
cannot exceed the student's financial need. Students eligible for this program work
part time on the Oglethorpe campus.

Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG) is axailable for Cieorgia 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

31

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 1990-91 school year, this grant was
$925 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 a college education.
Application requires the student to complete an appr(ived needs anahsis form 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. Application for this program mav 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. I he 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 ha\e 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 percent anntial rate beginning nine months after the borrower's
education ends. These loans are a\'ailable to students who show a demonstrated
financial need by applying with an approved needs analysis form. Students who
elect to serve in the Peace Corps, a vokmteer under Title 1 Part A of the Domestic
Volunteer Service Act, a full-time volunteer in a similar tax-exempt organization or
in the Armed Forces of the United States may be exempt from interest charges and
repayment for three years. Cancellation benefits may be received by teaching in
"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 iniions,
and other lending institutions. Students must submit the appro\ed needs anahsis
form as well as a separate loan application.

Parent Loans for Undergraduate/Graduate Students and Supplemental
Loans for Students are relatively long-term loans a\ailable 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.

Ty 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 forTy Cobb Scholarships.
Applications from imdergraduate students who are married will not be considered.

Financial Aid Probation for the fall semester and encouraged to enioll 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. Financial assistance may be continued in spite of non-compliance
with eligibility standards if a student's appeal to the Scholarship Committee is
accepted or if the Provost determines that the student has made progress dining
the fall semester, probation may be continued for one additional semester. If the
student does not meet the relevant standards by the end of the fall semester, and all
appeals are denied, financial assistance will be terminated.

session conducted at an Air Force base. Students accepted for the RO.C. become
members of the Air Force Reserve and receive a tax-free subsistence allowance of

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-^ear
program cadets. In addition, candidates must successfully complete a six-week field
training course at an Ar Force base during the summer preceding enrollment and
must be recommended by the field training staff to enter RO.C. upon their return
to the Oglethorpe campus.

for 1991-92 will be available in early 1991.

The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents 57 percent of the
actual expense of educating each student, the balance coming from endowment
income, gifts, and other sources. Thus, every Oglethorpe imdergraduate is the
beneficiary of a hidden scholarship. At the same time lb percent 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 $4,650 per semester. Room and board is $2,000 per semester.
Students who desire single rooms are assessed $2,250 to $2,475 for room and
board.

The tuition of $4,650 is applicable to all students taking 12-16 semester hours.

hours are referred to the section on Part-Time Fees. Students taking more than 16
hours during a semester are charged $155 for each additional hoiu. Pavment of
tuition and fees is due two weeks prior to registration 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 amoiuit 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

students residing off campus may purchase this insurance for $55 per year. In

Part-Time Fees

Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the fall or spring semesters
will be charged $1,095 per three semester hour course. This rate is applicable to
those students taking 11 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 a\'ailable from the
Registrar.

Withdrawal, Drop/Add

Students who find it necessary to change their enrollment bv dropping or
adding courses must do so by obtaining a Drop/Add form from the Registrar's
Office. This form must be completed and returned to the Registrar's Office during
the Drop/Add week.

After the Drop/Add period, the professor must approve the change in sched-
ule. The professor may issue one of the following grades: Withdrew Passing (W),
Withdrew Failing (WF), or may refuse to approve the withdrawal. 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 bv
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 anv course, the instructor will
notify the Registrar's Office and it will be assumed that the student has unofficiallv
withdrawn from the course. This does not eliminate the responsibility stated above
concerning the official withdrawal policy. The student mav recei\e the grade of

50

withdrew passing, withdrew tailing, or laihire due to excessive absences. This |)oli(\
has direct implications lor students recei\ ing benefits iioni the Veterans Admin-
istration and other federal agencies as these agencies must be notified when a
student misses six consecutive classes, fhis will result in an automatic decrease in
payments to the student. Reinstatement in a coiuse is at the discretion of the
instructor.

If a student must withdraw from the University, an olfici.il withdrawal form
must t^e obtained from the Registrar. 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 reftuid policy is based on the University's commitment
to a fair and equitable refiuid of tuition and other charges assessed. While the
University advances this policy, it should not be interpreted as a policy of conve-
nience for students to take lightly their responsibility and their commitment to the
University. The University lias demonstrated a commitment by admitting and
providing the necessary programs for all students and expects students to recipro-
cate that commitment.

Since the premium for insiuance coverage is not retained bv the Universit\, it
will not be refunded after registration day. Since room and t^oard ser\'ices are
consumed on a daily basis, during the period when tuition is to be refimded on a
100 percent basis, the room and board refund will be pro rata on a dail}- basis. .After
the 100 percent 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 calctilation of a refund for withdrawal or Drop/
Add will be the date on which the Registrar receives the official form signed b\ all
required personnel. All students must follow the procedures for withdrawal and
Drop/Add in order to receivea refund. Students are reminded that all changes in
their academic program must be cleared through the Registrar, and arrangement
with a professor will not f^e recognized as an official change of schedule.

All tuition refund requests w ill be processed at the conclusion of the fourth
week of classes. Payment will take a minimimi of two weeks, but will f^e no longer
than 40 days.

In the following schedides, "class day" means any da\ dining 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 bv the end of the 16th class day 50%

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

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

51

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

allowed to register for courses in subsequent academic sessions; he or she will not be
allowed to receive a degree from the Unixersit)'; and requests for transcripts will
not be honored.

Leadership Development

Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of leadership 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 competen-
cies reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning. Though widely neglected today
at all levels of education, these are the prerequisites for effective leadership. They
are the marks of an educated person. Oglethorpe insists that its students achieve
advanced proficiency in these skills. In addition, students are offered specific
preparation in the arts of leadership. Such arts include an appreciation of construc-
tive values, the setting of goals, public speaking, human relations, and organiza-
tional skills.

This philosophy presents an excellent opportunity for the able young person
who is striving for a significant life, including leadership in the improvement of
community and society.

Orientation and the Freshman Seminar

Oglethorpe University wishes to provide each student with the opportunity to
make a successful adjustment to college life. Because the University community
takes pride in a tradition of close personal relationships, an orientation program
has been organized to foster the development of these relationships, and provide
much needed information 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. Thor-
ough 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 ckiring these sessions are designed
to meet the needs of the entering student and to help the student assimilate his or
her college experiences. Freshman students, having completed the orientation
program and Freshman Seminar, are better prepared to understand and appreci-
ate 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 assembh. the
right to the presumption of innocence and procedural fairness in the administra-
tion of discipline, and the right of access to personal records.

As members of the Oglethorpe community, students have the responsibilit\ to
maintain high standards of conduct. Thev should respect the privacv and feelings
of others, and the property of both students and the Universitv. Students are
expected to display behavior which is not disruptive of campus life or the surround-
ing community. They represent the Lhiiversitv off campus and are expected to act

54

in a law-abiding and mature fashion. 1 hose 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, llw Bonk.

The Oglethorpe Student Association

The Oglethorpe Student Association is the guiding bcxh lor student life at
Oglethorpe University. The O.S.A. consists of two bodies: an executi\e 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 nieet 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 le\el of the
Emerson Student Center. The address is Oglethorpe Student Association, ;U)00
Woodrow Way, N.E., Atlanta, GA 30319.

Student Organizations

Valuable educational experience may be gained through active participation 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 especiall) encour-
aged 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.

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 preregistration week.
Students should make appointments to consult with their academic advisers dining
preregistration. Summer schedules are planned during preregistration week in the
spring semester.

Ihe 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 preregistered 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 aca-
demic 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 facult) member
who has agreed to be tlie student's new adviser.

3. Ascertain that the new adviser has received the file and has sent an Ach iser
Change notice to the Registrar's Office.

This is the only method for changing academic achisers.

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 Crade
form.

63

A student's cumulative grade-point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing 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:

torily 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 require-
ments. 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 bv
returning the signed form to the Registrar's Ofilce. The grade awarded for a class
taken on an audit basis is "AU," and no credits or qualitv points are earned.

Students may register to take courses on an audit basis onh 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 ;^^.5 or higher carr\ ing 14
semester hours or more during the fall or spring semester are enrolled on the
Dean's Academic Honors List.

Students who fail to achieve good standing are placecf on prolDation.
Students who do not achieve good standing for two consecutive semesters
(poor performance in summer sessions excluded) are sulDJect to dismissal from the
University for academic reasons. However, successful completion of summer classes
taken at Oglethorpe may be used to achieve good academic standing.

New students, freshmen or transfer students, who fail all courses during their
first semester at Oglethorpe are dismissed, unless the student received a \V in all
courses or had to withdraw from all courses for medical reasons.

Students who have been dismissed for academic reasons may be readmitted
after an absence of one spring or fall semester upon petition to the Pro\ost.

65

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

Degrees

Oglethorpe offers four degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bach-
elor of Business Administration, and Master of Arts. For the Bachelor of Arts
degree the following majors are offered: American Studies, Business Administra-
tion and Behavioral Sciences, Economics, Education (Early Childhood, Middle
Grades, and Secondary with concentrations available in English, Mathematics,
Science, and Social Studies), English, History, Individually Planned Major, Inter-

Under certain conditions it is also possible for a student to receive a degree
from Oglethorpe under the Professional Option. Through this arrangement 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 interested 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: cu))i Inudc for a cumulative grade-
point average of 3.5 or higher; magna cum lanrle for 3.7 or higher; and siinima cum
Idude for 3.9 or higher.

I1ie academic requirements for honors must be met (mi 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 ha\e ct^mpleted 60 or
more semester hoius at Oglethorpe. See also. Honors Program.

Earning a Second Baccalaureate Degree

Students who have completed a liaccalaineate degree ma\ earn a second
baccalaureate degree at Oglethorpe.

F'or 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; 13 of the 30 semester
hours must be completed at Oglethorpe.

66

2. Completion ol a major other than the maior(s) completed at the time the

first degree was awarded.
For students who earned their first l)aecalauieale degree at anolhei institu-
tion, the requiiements 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 maior(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 90 semester hours may be accepted.

Student Classification

For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes, undergradu-
ate 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. 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/ Add period through midsemester or the middle of a mini or
summer session. After that time the grade "WF" is assigned. Only in the case of
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.

tn 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
midsemester or midsession.

67

Repetition of Courses

Courses may be repeated only if an unsatisfactory grade (D, F, FA, or \VF) 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.

Honor Code

Because Oglethorpe students and faculty expect each other to be truthftil in
the intellectual endeavor they share, all academic work at the University is done
under the provisions of an Honor Code which is administered by an Honor Council
consisting of five students and two faculty members chosen randomly. Oglethorpe
students affirm their commitment to the Honor Code with a written pledge on each
piece of graded work.

Violations of the Code are:
Cheating

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
cotnse with work other than one's original work for that course. Students
have the responsibility of avoiding participation in cheating incidents bv
doing their own work, taking precautions against others copying their
work, and in general neither giving nor receiving aid.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism includes representing someone else's words, ideas, data, or original
research as one's own, and in general failing to footnote or otherwise ackno\vledge
the source of such work. One has the responsibility of avoiding plagiarism by taking
adequate notes on reference materials tised in the preparation of reports, papers,
and other coiusework.

Both students and faculty have the responsibility of reporting suspected
violations to the Honor Council, which conducts a preliminary investigation to
determine whether there is sufficient evidence of a \iolation. If the e\idence
appears to be convincing, the full coiuicil condticts a hearing, decides guilt or
innocence and levies penalties that range from lowering the grade in a course to
permanent expulsion. If requested, the decision of the coimcil is reviewed by an
appeal board which is also composed of randomly selected students and faculty-
Complete provisions of the code are foiuul in the pamphlet, llw Oglclhorpc
Uiiixicrsily Ihnior Code.

Access to Students Records

To comply with the Faniih Kducational and Pri\ac\ .\ct of 1974, commonh
called the Buckley Amendment, Oglethorpe University informs students of their
rights under this act in the student handbook. The () Bool;. Three basic rights are

68

covered by this act: (1) The student's rii>lit to have access to personal records, ('2) llie
right of a hearing to challenge the content of a record, and (.'5) the i ight to u ilhhold
or give consent for the release ot identify ing data. Additional inloi malion nia\ be
obtained from I'lir Book and from tlie Registrar.

Semester System

Two semesters constitute the regular academic vear. Se\eral da\ and e\ening
sessions are offered in the smnmer.

Division of Continuing Education

The Universitv's Di\ision of Continuing Education offers a variet) of educa-
tional 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 empUners, 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 Accoimting, Business
Administration, Business Administration and Ck)mputer Science, Business Admin-
istration and Behavioral Science, Economics, and the Individually Planned Major.
Classes meet two nights a week (Monda>' and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thurs-
day) and on Saturdav mornings. The academic Near is divided into tliree full terms
fall, spring, and summer and an abbreviated term in Ma)\ lb qualif\' for tlie
special tuition rates offered continuing education students, a student must take all
courses in the evening or on Saturdays.

Non-Credit Course Program

The Division of Continuing Education serves as the University's comminiit\
service arm, providing non-credit courses for adults, f he two non-credit programs
are tlie Learn and Live courses for personal emicliment, and the Certificate in
Management Development program offered in cooperation with the American
Management Association Extension Institution. Classes meet on weekckn e\enings
and Satiu'davs in fall and spring semesters and summer sessions.

Human Resource Development

Training needs of business, industrv, goxernment, and vocational groups in
the north Atlanta area are met through individualh' 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 stud\.

Courses of Study

In the following section courses are listed numerically by discipline within
their respective divisions. Most courses are designated by a four-digit niuiiber. The
first digit indicates the level of the course: 1 = freshman level, 2 = sophomore le\ el,
3 = junior level, 4 = senior level, and (3 = graduate level. Higher level courses in a
discipline are t\ pically designed to build upon the content of lower level courses in
that discipline and other specified prerequisite courses.

In some cases, the 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 bv 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 haxe declared a major b)' 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 interdisciplinar) field. A major must
include a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 62 semester hours of required
coursework, exclusive of all hours used to satisfy core requirements. Each major
must allow for the student's selection of courses which are not in the discipline(s) of
the major and not required components of the core curriculum. Each major
includes a substantial component of advanced courses which ha\e specified prereq-
uisites. A major may require for successful completion a cumulative grade-point
average in the major field which is higher than the 2.0 cumulati\e grade-point
average required for graduation. Alternatively, the requiiements for the major may
state that onlv courses in which a "C " or higher grade is received niav be used in

73

satisfaction of the major's requirements. The student is responsible for ensuring the
fulf'iHment of the requirements of tfie 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
page 120).

Honors Program

The Oglethorpe Universitv Honors Program is a three-semester program.
During the spring semester of the junior year, a student chooses a thesis supervisor
and enrolls in 3999 Honors I. The eligibility requirement is an overall 3.3 grade-
point average and a 3.5 in the field in which the thesis is to be \\ritten. Students

74

slightly below this standard may still enroll in -^999 Honors I, but must meet the
grade-point average standard by the beginning of fall semester in order to
continue, unless an exception is granted by the Honors Program Director. Juni(jrs
in the seminar are expected to complete a prospectus by the end of the spring
semester, which is to include a definition of the problem to be addressed as well as a
reading list. A student receives one hour of credit for completion of this on a pass/no
pass basis, the grade being determined by the Honors Program Director in
consultation with the faculty supervisor. Successful completion of this phase is a
prerequisite for enrollment in Honors II in the fall. There are no formal require-
ments for the summer, but the student ought t(j make enough progress on the
reading list to be able to begin research immediately when classes resume in the fall.

In the fall semester of the senior year, the student enrolls in 4998 Honors II,
which requires an overall 3.3 grade-point average and a 3.5 in the field in which the
research is to be done. In Honors II, the student completes the research, prepares a
first draft of the thesis, and attends the scheduled meetings of the Honors Seminar.
The student receives three hours of credit for this work and a letter grade assigned
by the supervisor. If the letter grade is an A, the student then enrolls in 4999
Honors III spring semester of the senior year and the Honors Program Director
appoints a committee of three to evaluate the completed thesis. The committee
must include the supervisor and may include someone from outside the division at
Oglethorpe. During the first half of the spring semester the student works on
revisions of the first draft and makes a presentation of the research to the Honors
Seminar. For these efforts, the student receives one credit and a letter grade,
assigned by the Honors Program Director with the advice of the super\isor. The
final draft of the thesis is then presented to the committee, which determines
whether "honors" will be granted. At the committee's discretion the student may be
asked to make a formal defense of the thesis.

Continuing Education students are eligible and encouraged to participate in
the program. Interested students should contact the Honors Program Director.

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 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 four regular academic years plus
some summer courses.

The student is required to complete three credit hours in Art Appreciation and
at least 12 credit hours in studio electives at Oglethorpe. Upon successful comple-
tion of all of the core requirements plus the aforementioned art courses, the student
enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art and completes 75 credit hours in studio and art
history courses. Placement in studio courses is dependent on a portfolio re\ iew.

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

75

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 L'ni\er-
sity 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 these engineering schools.
The three years at Oglethorpe include core curriculum 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.
Additionally, Oglethorpe has an agreement with the Georgia Institute of Technol-
ogy for dual degrees in various areas of applied sciences and economics.

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 engineer-
ing school. Because the required pie-engineering curricula of the three affiliated
schools are slightly different, the student is advised to consult frequently with the
facidty member serving as dual degree engineering program ad\'iser.

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 indi\idually
planned maj(^r. 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 as the major's
principal field. Graded coiusework in the major must have a grade-point a\erage of
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
Provost and the chairman 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 specifv 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 studv or career.

The student's academic adviser forwards the application to the appropriate
dixision chairman. The chairman consults with the Pro\ost; then the chairman
notifies the faculty adviser of the acceptance or rejection of the proposal, and the
adviser contacts the student.

76

The degree awarded upon successful completion of an appro\efl indi\ ifluallv
planned major is Baclielor of Arts.

Pre-medical 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 pre-medical
adviser. It is desirable for the pre-medical student to begin the process of under-
graduate program planning with a pre-medical 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 comple-
tion of a specified sequence of courses in the natural sciences as well as the
submission of acceptable scores on appropriate standardized tests. However, pre-
medical 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 veteri-
nary 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 fust 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 Ad\'iser. 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.

Pre-legal 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 pre-law major. The student is advised, however, to take courses
that enhance the basic skills of a liberally educated person: reading with com-
prehension, writing, speaking, and reasoning. The student is encouraged to
become more familiar with political, economic, and social institutions as thev have
developed historically and as they function in contemporary society. Students are
referred to the Pre-law Handbook, which is available in the University Bookstore,
for a more complete discussion of the desirable aspects of a pre-law curriculum.

Students interested in pursuing a legal career should ask the Registrar for the
names of faculty members serving as pre-law advisers.

77

Pre-seminary

Pre-seminary students should plan a curriculum with emphasis on philosophy,
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 recommended by the American
Association of Theological Schools. Juniors and seniors are encouraged to take an
internship related to their course work.

Internships and Cooperative Education

Oglethorpe University offers two on-the-job learning programs: Cooperative
Education and Internships. These programs provide students with the oppor-
tunity to have an employment experience designed to promote their professional
and personal growth. They also allow students to explore particular career options.

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

Internships

Students with a minimum grade-point average of 2.8 may qualify to begin an
internship experience in the sophomore year. Every internship requires a state-
ment 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 15 hours.

Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education is a non-credit program in which students with a
grade-point average of 2.5 alternate semesters of work and study until graduation.
Students begin the co-op experience in their junior year. Opportunities are
available with major employers in the Atlanta area.

A student who participates in a University sponsored full-time cooperative
education experience is considered to be a full-time Oglethorpe student. This will
be true even though it precludes his or her enrolling in a full-time schedule of
classes, provided: (1) he or she was enrolled in a full-time schedule of classes at
Oglethorpe during the semester immediately preceding the cooperative education
experience; and (2) he or she intends to enroll as a full-time student at Oglethorpe
in the subsequent semester.

Students who are interested in an internship or cooperative education experi-
ence should first consult with their faculty adviser and then visit the Office of
Career Planning and Placement in Emerson Student Center.

78

Cross Registration

Oglethorpe University is a member of the University Clenler in Georgia, a
consortium ot institutions of higher efUication in the Atlanta/Athens area. Through
the University Center, students may ennMi in courses at any other member
institution. The student need not be athnitted to the other institution and com-
pletes all procedures, including payment of tuition, at Oglethorpe.

Courses taken at University Cienter institutions on a cross-registration basis
count as Oglethorpe comses for the purpose of meeting the residency requirement,
that is, that the last 60 hours of course credit preceding graduation be completed at
Oglethorpe.

Interested students should consult the Registrar for program details.

Interdisciplinary Majors

Interdisciplinary majors are offered in American Studies, Business Admin-
istration and Behavioral Science, Business Administration and Computer Science,
International Studies, and Mathematics and Computer Science. Students who
choose one of these majors should notify the Registrar so that an appropriate
adviser may be assigned.

American Studies

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

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

Mathematics and Computer Science

Since its inception as an academic discipline, computer science has been closely
associated with mathematics. Many of the field's pioneers are mathematicians by
training. Indeed, modern computer science would not be possible without the
existence of a number of mathematical developments once thought to be entirely
theoretical in nature.

The major in Mathematics and Computer Science is designed to acquaint
students with the various linkages between computer science and mathematics and
to enable students to understand more thoroughly their primary discipline,
whether it is mathematics or computer science. Rigorous training in mathematical
thinking will provide the student with essential analytical tools and mental disci-
pline, 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 loecome familiar with ways in which modern
computational tools have made possible work in mathematics that would otherwise
be prohibitively laborious. Understanding 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 completion of the following courses:

1333 Calculus I

1334 Calculus 11

2331 Calculus III

2332 Calculus IV

2333 Differential Equations

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 scho(jl or an\
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 prospectixe employers. The course
Advanced Writing for Business and the Professions focuses on the kinds of
speaking anci writing abilities graduates will need to get and keep jobs in personnel,
sales, and management. Our graduates also work in public relations and editing,
where they tise their skill with words a major emphasis of every English coinse.
They go into teaching, and sometimes work for publishers, television stations, film-
making companies, or computer firms. They write press releases, training man-
uals, in-house newspapers, and news copy.

To help students bridge the gap between academic life and work experience,
Oglethorpe places English majors in internships with area newspapers, printing
companies, public relations firms, cultiual associations, and radio and television
stations. Such experiences enhance students' chances of finding the jobs thev want
after graduation.

Division II

History, Politics
and International Studies

History

In 1989, this division changed its name from the Division of History and
Political Studies to the Division of History, Politics, and International Studies. This
change reflects the importance of international studies at Oglethorpe University. A
new faculty member in Asian studies has been named for Academic Year 1990-91.
Courses in Asian studies will be added to the curriculum. Modifications in the
international studies major (currently listed as an interdisciplinary major) will be
undertaken. Other aspects of international studies will be developed and will be
publicized as they occur and included in future publications of the Bulletin.

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

At Oglethorpe in the areas of European and American histor}, two-semester
surveys are studied at the freshman and sophomore levels respectixeh. \\estern
Civilization I and II, the freshman-level survey courses, are required for gradua-
tion. Above the sophomore level, there are period and topical courses.

The history faculty at Oglethorpe University seeks to make its students aware
of the constantly changing interpretations of the past and acquaint them with the
increasing uses of the discipline in such fields as law, journalism, public relations,
art, theology, diplomacy, and public serxice. Particular stress is placed on a mastery
of the techniques of research which enhance one's usefulness in man) fields of
professional life. Archival careers and postgraduate studies in history are options
with which Oglethorpe students become familiar.

Major

Students majoring in history are required to take a minimum of eight of the
courses listed below, exclusive of courses used to meet core requirements. Of these
eight, at least two European history and two American historx^ courses are

Politics

The focus of political studies at Oglethorpe University is on the interpretation
of events, both past and current, from a perspective informed bv the studv of
political thought and institutions. In addition, students in this discipline develop
their capacity to compare analagous things and to generalize. The abilitv to read
difficult texts carefully and thoughtfully is especially important in political theory
courses. Students in political studies develop some tolerance for ambiguitv and
disagreement, while at the same time learning to appreciate the difference between
informed and uniformed opinion. Political studies provides good training for life in

Division III

Science and Mathematics

To ensure orderly completion of a major in one of the fields of the natural
sciences or mathematics, the student should consult with the appropriate faculty
members in the division at the time of the first registration. Careful planning of the
program of study is important, so that the student is aware of departmental and
divisional requirements and allowable options within the major. Each student must
complete the core recjuirements as well as those departmental and di\isional
requirements that apply to the specific degree.

Three semesters of the course Science Seminar (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 achie\ed in order to graduate
in one of the fields within the division.

Biology

The curriculum in biology provides a foundation in both classical and contem-
porary 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. Ciompletion of a biology
major does not ensure admission to these schools.

Biology I and II, Genetics, Microbiology, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomv,
Human Physiok^gy plus three additional directed biologv courses; General Chem-
istry I 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. (Three of the above listed
courses. General Biology I, General Chemistry I, and a mathematics course, fidtill
core requirements. They are thus not part of the major /;rrsv'.)

Minor

The recjuirements for a minor in biology are General Biology I and II,
Genetics, and Microbiology; students minoring in biology are not exempt from the
prerec|uisites for the biology courses and thus will also complete General Chemistry
I and II (with laboratories) and Organic Chemistry I and II (with laboratories).

Chemistry

The chemistry program covers four general areas of chemistry: inorganic,
organic, physical, and analytical. The first half of a student's chemistry curriculum
involves courses which present the fundamentals of the various areas. The second
half of the curricukun 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 curricukun includes laboratorv courses.
These courses teach the techniques and skills used in chemical experimentation.

A student who has completed the Bachelor of Science program in chemistrv
has several career options. These options include technical or analytical work in a
chemical laboratory and non-research positions in the chemical industrv 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 dentistr), would enter
the appropriate professional school after receiving the Bachelor of Science degree.

Medical Technology

Medical technologists play an important role in the deliverv (,)f modern health
care. Although hospitals and clinics are their traditional sites of empkn ment,
medical technologists also find opportunities in manv 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 of Bachelor of Science in Medical
Technology undertake their clinical training at an approved institution after
successful completion of prerequisite academic coursework at Oglethorpe Iniver-
sity. Prere(;]uisites lor clinical [programs varv among institutions; therefore, stu-
dents should seek additional advisement from the program to which the\ are
applving. This will enable the student and the Oglethorpe achiser to design the

120

proper secjiieiKe of courses and [o eslal)lish an appropriate time frame for
completion of degree retjiiirements. C^oiirses to be completed at Oglethoipe will
usually include the following: General Biology I and II, Microbiology, Human
Physiology, General Ghemistry I and II (with laboratories). Organic Ghemistry I
and II (with laboratories), Elementary Quantitative Analysis, (College Algebra or
Galculus I, and appropriate core courses. At least 60 semester hours nuist 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 creati\e thought and the science of
logical thought. Problem-sohing 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 prob-
lems 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
stud)' or immediate employment. Students with mathematical training at the
undergraduate level are sought by employers in business, government, and indus-
try. Career opportunities for mathematics majors exist in areas such as computer
programming, operations research, statistics, and applied mathematics.

Division IV

Behavioral Sciences

Psychology

Psychology uses scientific methods to study a broad range (jf topics related to
human behavior and mental processes including motivation, learning and mem-
ory, human development and personality, psychological disorders, social interac-
tion, and physiologial bases for behavior and thcmght. 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 toleiant obser\er of human beha\ior and
individual differences. Many students with a background in psychology choose
careers in psychology-related fields such as counseling, ps) chotherapy, 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.

Division V

Economics and
Business Administration

Five degree programs are offered in tfie Division of Economics and Business
Administration. The Bachelor of Business Administration degree may be earned
with a major in accounting, business administration, economics, or business
administration and computer science. A Bachelor of Arts degree program is offered
with a major in economics. Computer science courses are offered through the
division.

All students who pursue degree programs within the division are required to
complete: Calculus I (or a more advanced course in calculus); Statistics; Manage-
ment Science; Introduction to Computer Applications Software, or Introduction to
Computer Science, or Principles of Computer Programming; Intermediate Micro-
economics; and Intermediate Macroeconomics. Additional major requirements are
listed under the particular disciplinary headings in this section. Major require-
ments 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 (I) the ability to
think independently, (2) knowledge of business terminology and business institu-
tions, both domestic and international, and (3) communication skills. The abilitv to
think independently is enhanced through study of the courses in the core curricu-
lum and through a requirement that each student must complete advanced ^\ork in
at least one area of business. Courses in economics and the functional areas of
business administration introduce students to business institutions, terminologv.
and methods of inquiry. A required coinse 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 in
governmental and non-profit organizations. Also, since much legal practice
involves businesses, knowledge of business terminology and institutions is an
excellent background for the study and practice of law.

Accounting

Tlie essence of accounting is measurement and communication. I lie ol)jective
is to provide information that is useful to decision-makers who must choose
between economic alternatives. Accordingly, the field focuses on information con-
cerning economic resources, claims to those resources, and the results of economic
acti\ity. The purpose of the major in accoiuiting is to acquaint the student with this
information and to develop the analytic ability necessary to produce it. The student
learns to observe economic activity; to select from that activity the events which are
relevant to particular decisions; to measure the economic consequences of those
events in quantitative terms; to record, classify and summarize the resulting data;
and to communicate the information produced thereby in various reports and
statements to appropriate decision-makers.

The major in accounting consists of a coherent sequence of accounting and
other courses which provide the conceptual foundation and basic skills to begin a
career in accounting practice or to use as an appropriate background for such
related careers as financial services, computer science, management, industrial
engineering, law and others. Accountants work in public accounting, business,
government, and non-profit organizations.

Economics

Economics is a way of thinking based on the premise that individuals make
decisions that advance their own interests. From this premise, economics attempts
to predict: (1) individual behavior and (2) the social order that results from the
interaction of many individual decision-makers. Finally, economics involves evalua-
tion 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 derixation 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 helpfid 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.

in the subject areas of English, mathematics, social science, and science (biology,
physics, or chemistry). The teacher-preparation curricula are 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 sectue information from those states.

Admission to and Retention in
Teacher Education Program

closely to avoid scheduling problems in the completion of the degree requirements.
Programs require work in professional education to culminate in student teaching
and in the content of the teaching field. Teaching field courses for the earlv
childhood major include all content areas; teaching field courses for the middle
grades include five basic content areas and require two concentrations of approx-
imatelv 12 semester hours each.

Secondary Education

Program

The graduate program offers work leading to the degree Master of Arts in
Education with concentration in early and middle grades. A minimum of 25
percent of the courses used to meet degree refjuirements will contain a field-based
component.

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

1. Full admission to the graduate program.

2. Admission to candidacy; apply after completion of 12 semester hours
graduate credit at Oglethorpe.

3. Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive final examination. Apply after

The Teacher Education Council is the policy-making body chosen from the faculty
and administration, under the leadership of the chairman of the Education
Division.

The purposes of the graduate program are to provide well-qualified students
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 stud\ includes more than the passing of prescribed
courses and the meeting of minimum requirements. .\11 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.
