Tradition, Purpose
and Goals

Tradition, Purpose, and Goals

1^

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 have shaped
American colleges and universities. The first is the model of the English college,
particularly in the form developed at Oxford and Cambridge in the 18th and 19th
centuries. Most of the older institutions in the United States were patterned on the
English colleges of that period. Many observers have concluded that this is the finest
type of collegiate education produced by Western civilization.

The second idea is that of the German university, especially of the 19th century.
This model, which has had enormous influence on American 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 agri-
culture 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 foun-
der of Georgia, the University was patterned on Corpus Christi College, Oxford,
General Oglethorpe's alma mater. It would be overstating the matter to say that
Oglethorpe University has been untouched by the other two conceptions of higher
education, but it has certainly been shaped principally by the English tradition of
collegiate education.

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

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

2. Colleges such as Oglethorpe stress the basic academic 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. Close relationships between teacher and student are indispensable to this
type of education. A teacher is much more than a conveyor of information
the invention of the printing press made that notion of education obso-
lete. Rather, the most important function of the teacher is to stimulate
intellectual activity in the student and to promote his or her development

II

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 collection of academic courses. It
is a process of development in which campus leadership opportunities, res-
idential life, athletics, formal and informal social functions, aesthetic ex-
periences, and contact with students from other cultures, in addition to
classroom exercises, all play important roles. Versatility and ability to lead
are important goals of this type of undergraduate education.
Two other aspects of Oglethorpe's tradition were contributed by Philip Weltner,
President of the University from 1944 to 1953. Oglethorpe, he said, should be a
"small college which is superlatively good." Only at a small college with carefully
selected students and faculty, he believed, could young persons achieve their fullest
intellectual development through an intense dialogue with extraordinary teachers.
Thus, a commitment to limited size and superior performance are important ele-
ments of the Oglethorpe tradition.

Purpose: Education for a Changing Society

While an institution may take pride in a distinguished heritage, it is also es-
sential that its educational program prepare young people to function effectively in
our complex and rapidly changing society. What are the requirements of an edu-
cation intended to inform and enrich lives and careers that will be conducted in the
remainder of this century and beyond?

Many commentators on contemporary social conditions and future trends agree
that the rapidly changing society in which we live places a premium on adaptability.
Persons in positions of leadership must be able to function effectively in changing
circumstances. Rigid specialization, with its training in current practice, ill prepares
the graduate for responsibilities in such a society. The broadly educated person,
schooled in fundamental principles, is better equipped to exercise leadership in a
world that is being transformed by high technology and new information.

Oglethorpe emphasizes the preparation of the humane generalist the kind
of leader needed by a complex and changing society. Our purpose is to produce
graduates who are broadly educated in the fundamental fields of knowledge and
the basic concepts and principles of their disciplines and who are prepared to ex-
ercise responsible leadership in public and private life.

The University limits its educational program to the arts and sciences, business
administration, and teacher education. It defines its primary role as the conduct of
a program of undergraduate education for men and women of above-average ability
and traditional college age. In addition, a master's degree in teacher education and
programs of continuing education for adults are offered as services to the local
community.

Goals

Educational programs at Oglethorpe seek to produce graduates who display
abilities, skills, intellectual attitudes, and sensitivities which are related to the Uni-
versity's purpose. The curriculum is designed to develop the following:

12

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 lit-
erature 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 behavior.

In its dedication to a broad, comprehensive liberal education for each student,
Oglethorpe has created a common set of core courses that invites students to be
thoughtful, inquisitive, and reflective about the human condition and the world
surrounding them. These core courses work together with students' experience in
advanced courses in their chosen disciplines to encourage the life-long "habit of
mind" that is extolled in Newman's The Idea of a University. Students are thus urged
to consider carefully what they see, hear, and read, to examine questions from more
than one point of view, and to avoid leaping quickly to conclusions.

The central considerations of the Oglethorpe core curriculum are expressed
in the form of five questions that have no easy answers:

1. What are our present ways of understanding ourselves and the universe?

2. How do these ways of understanding evolve?

3. How do we deal with conflicts in our ways of understanding?

4. How do we decide what is of value?

5. How do we decide how to live our lives?

The Oglethorpe core curriculum initiates and sustains meaningful discussion
about matters which are and have been fundamental to understanding the human
condition and dealing thoughtfully with its ambiguities. The courses in the core
program present a variety of distinct ways of knowing or understanding ourselves
and our world.

As students become actively engaged with faculty in asking and attempting to
answer the central questions raised by the core courses, they will learn to appreciate
the life of the mind and to be interested in hearing the variety of voices that have
addressed these questions. In an effort to ensure that students encounter such
points of view directly, Oglethorpe's core courses are designed to stimulate intensive
interaction between faculty and students.

The core curriculum provides only a beginning for the investigation of signifi-
cant questions. What students have at the completion of the Oglethorpe core pro-
gram are not final answers but a multiplicity of ways of knowing and experiencing
the world. They walL in addition, be prepared to continue this inquiry on their own.

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

13

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 individ-
ually planned major).

The curriculum and extracurricular life are structured to engender in students
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
life 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 opportunity 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 have developed
and demonstrated:

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

2. Expertise in appropriate research techniques.

3. The capacity for sustained study and independent thought.

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

Non-credit courses also are 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 professional development are
offered during evening hours. Career advancement goals may be pursued in the
non-credit curriculum through a certificate program in management.

The success of Oglethorpe alumni and students in their subsequent education,
a wide variety of careers, and community life attests to the soundness of this ap-
proach to education.

History

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 Uni-
versity commemorated in its name Georgia's founder, General James Edward
Oglethorpe, who had established the Colony of Georgia some 100 years earlier in
order to defend British North America and provide a new field of economic oppor-
tunity for the disadvantaged. Oglethorpe University grew and prospered until 1860,
when war caused the suspension of instruction. After the war, the institution relo-
cated to Atlanta, the new state capital. For several years, classes were held in a
large mansion house on the present site of the Atlanta City Hall.

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

Under Dr. Jacobs' leadership, the University pioneered in several areas, in-
cluding 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 cur-
riculum in the arts and sciences, business administration, and education that is
designed for students of above-average ability and motivation. In addition, a grad-
uate 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 25 other countries. Edu-
cation at Oglethorpe is intended to be a cosmopolitan and broadening experience.
The University has become increasingly selective in admissions, and most of its
entering students come from the top 10 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 availability
of a variety of financial aid programs also helps to ensure that academically able
students from varying socio-economic backgrounds are able to enroll.

The University has sought to bring together an outstanding, nationally re-
cruited faculty, dedicated to excellence in classroom teaching and committed to
participation in campus life. The leading graduate schools in the country are well
represented on the Oglethorpe faculty. The student body is one of the ablest in the
Southeast.

16

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

Grounds

Oglethorpe University's facilities are generally accessible to physically impaired
students. All buildings on campus are equipped with either ramps or ground-floor
entry. With the exception of Lupton Hall, the primary classroom and office buildings
have elevators to all floors. Appointments with faculty members or administrators
with inaccessible offices are scheduled in accessible areas. Only three classrooms
are not accessible. When appropriate, classes are reassigned so that all classes are
available to all students. All residence halls include accessible housing space.

Smoking is prohibited in all campus buildings at Oglethorpe University. This
includes classrooms, offices, labs, meeting rooms, lounge areas, restrooms, corridors,
stairwells, the Library, the Field House, the Student Center, and any other interior
spaces in buildings. An exception to the rule is provided for residents in the privacy
of their residence hall rooms.

Lowry Hall - Philip Weltner Library

The Philip Weltner Library is a newly remodeled and expanded facility which
includes a formal reading room with an atrium, a glass-enclosed quiet reading room,
and an after-hours reading room. In addition, there are numerous study rooms and
carrells, as well as an audio-visual room. The Library of Congress classification is
used in an open-stack arrangement allowing free access to users on all three floors.

The collection of over 95,000 volumes includes books, periodicals, and micro-
forms, as well as audio-visual and machine-readable materials. More than 800
periodical subscriptions provide a diversified range of current information.

The library has an on-line catalog and a computerized circulation system to
aid the library patron. The library is a member of the library consortium of the
University Center of Georgia.

The library is open seven days a week during the regular academic year.

Oglethorpe Museum

The Oglethorpe Museum, located on the third floor of the Philip Weltner
Library, will open in the fall of 1992, after extensive renovations. The museum,
covering 7,000 square feet, has a comfortable environment, created by the intimate
spaces of two galleries. It is considered an important cultural addition to Atlanta's
growing art scene, drawing thousands of visitors each year.

In addition to the permanent collection, three exhibitions are held each year,
which focus on realistic, historical and/or international images of art.

The museum sponsors a unique, International Artist-in-Residence program,
bringing to campus a well-known artist from another country to work in the Faith
Hall Art Studios and to hold visiting hours for the students and the public. An
exhibition of the artist-in-residence's work can be viewed.

The museum is open to the public daily, except Mondays, during the academic
year.

The Emerson Student Center

The Student Center is named in honor of William A. and Jane S. Emerson,
benefactors of the University. As the hub of campus life, the Emerson Student
Center houses a lounge, television area, a student-managed club, a physical fitness

facility, the student post office, the student association office, the newspaper and
yearbook offices, the cafeteria, the offices of the Dean of Community Life, the
Director of the Student Center, the Director of Career Planning and Placement,
the Director of Housing, and the Director of Musical Activities. An outdoor swim-
ming pool is adjacent to the building.

Lupton Hall

Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor of John Thomas Lupton, was
one of the three original buildings on the present Oglethorpe University campus.
It was renovated in 1973 and contains administrative offices and an auditorium with
seating for 300 persons. The University Business Office is located on the lower level
of Lupton Hall; the Office of the Provost, the Registrar, and the Admissions Office
are on the first floor; Offices of the President, Executive Vice President, Develop-
ment, University Communications, Public Relations, Alumni Affairs, and two lecture
halls are on the second floor. The Office of Financial Aid, faculty offices and a
computer laboratory are on the third floor.

The cast-bell carillon in the Lupton tower has 42 bells which chime the quarter
hours.

Phoebe Hearst Hall

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

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

The dominant feature of the building is the beautiful Great Hall, the site of
many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe. Located on the ground floor of
the building is the much-publicized Crypt of Civilization. The capsule was sealed
on May 28, 1940, and is not to be opened until May 28, 8113.

Goslin Hall

Goslin Hall was completed in 1971 and houses the Division of Science and
Mathematics. Laboratories for biology, chemistry, and physics, and lecture halls are
located in the building. Goslin Hall was named in honor of Dr. Roy N. Goslin, the
late Professor Emeritus of Physics, for his many years of dedicated work for the
college and the nation. A new physics laboratory, made possible by a grant from
the Olin Foundation, was opened in 1979. All laboratories were renovated in 1985.

Traer Hall

Built in 1969, Traer Hall is a three-story women's residence which houses 168
students. Construction of the building was made possible through the generosity of
the late Wayne S. Traer, Oglethorpe University alumnus of the class of 1928. The
double occupancy rooms, arranged in suites, open onto a central plaza courtyard.

20

Goodman Hall

Goodman Hall was built in 1956 and renovated in 1970, when it was trans-
formed from a men's into a women's residence hall. The building contains 26 single
occupancy rooms.

Upper Residence Hall Complex

Five residence halls are situated around the upper quadrangle. Constructed in
1968, these buildings house both men and women. All rooms on the first and second
floors are suites with private entrances and baths.

Faith Hall

The Student Health Center and the Counseling Office are located on the upper
level of Faith Hall, together with art studios and lecture rooms. The lower level of
Faith Hall houses the maintenance facility.

R. E. Dorough Field House

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

Athletic Facilities

Intercollegiate soccer and intramural softball are played on the Oglethorpe
soccer field which is located behind the upper residence hall complex. Intercollegiate
baseball is played on Anderson Field between Hermance Stadium and Dorough Field
House. Six tennis courts are adjacent to the field house and below them is a six-
lane, all-weather reslite track. A student-sponsored physical fitness center is located
in the Emerson Student Center.

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. Applicants wishing to enroll in the evening credit
program should consult the section on Continuing Education in this Bulletin.

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 pro-
viding 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 secondary
school program including appropriate courses in English, mathematics, and/or sci-
ence, and social studies. While an admissions decision may be based on a partial
secondary school transcript, a final transcript must be sent to the Admissions Office
by the candidate's school, showing evidence of academic work completed and official
graduation.

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

Students may choose from early decision and regular decision admissions.

Application Procedure

All correspondence concerning admission should be addressed to the Admis-
sions Office, Oglethorpe University, 4484 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Georgia 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; official transcript of high school work; and SAT
or ACT scores. 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 Ad-
missions and the Admissions Committee will review the application. If accepted,
the student will be required to submit an enrollment deposit to reserve accommo-
dations for the appropriate session. Residence hall students submit a deposit of

23

$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 5. Candidates will be required to certify that they
are not applying to any other colleges under an Early Decision plan. Notification
on admission by Oglethorpe will be made on or about December 15. Early Decision
candidates applying for scholarship or financial aid assistance must file the appro-
priate forms by January 5.

Accepted students will be required to submit their deposits by February 1 and
to certify that they have withdrawn applications from other schools. Earjy Decision
students who do not submit their deposits as required will have ofTers 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 videos are not required for ad-
mission purposes but will be considered if submitted. Interviews and campus visits
are not required but are strongly recommended.

If, upon review 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 wall be
mailed on or about February 1, and afterwards on a rolling basis.

Transfer Students and Transfer Policies

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

The same transfer policies and regulations apply to both day and evening stu-
dents.

Most financial aid awards and scholarships are available to transfer students
as well as first-time freshmen.

The same information is required of the transfer student as for the entering
freshman, although 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 Oglethorpe.

24

Acceptable work must be shown on an official transcript and must be completed
with a grade of "C" or better. 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 on probation 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.

Transfer students who have earned an associate degree at a regionally ac-
credited junior college will be awarded two years of credit. Junior college graduates
with strong academic records are encouraged to apply for admission.

Oglethorpe University will accept as many as 30 hours of United States Armed
Forces Institute (USAFI) credit.

Students who hold the R.N. credential from an appropriately accredited insti-
tution are awarded credit for their arts and sciences courses. To earn a bachelor's
degree, the student must complete the core curriculum, a major, and other appli-
cable requirements.

The maximum total number of semester hours that may be transferred into
Oglethorpe is 75. A minimum of 45 semester hours must be earned through course
work at Oglethorpe in order for an Oglethorpe degree to be awarded, with 30 of
the last 60 hours earned in residence (residency requirement).

Credits earned at post-secondary institutions accredited by the six regional
accrediting bodies (e.g.. Southern, Middle States, New England, etc.. Associations)
will be accepted in day and evening programs.

Courses taken at schools accredited by national crediting bodies (e.g.. Associ-
ation of Independent Schools and Colleges, American Association of Bible Colleges,
etc.) may be credited. In these cases, division chairs in whose areas the courses
relate will receive from the Dean of Continuing Education the student's transcript,
an actual catalog course description provided by the student, and a syllabus for the
course provided by the student. Division chairs will determine whether or not
courses are to receive transfer credit.

Courses recognized by the American Council on Education (ACE) may be
credited by the Dean of Continuing Education and the Registrar. Programs not
recognized by ACE will not be given credit.

A maximum of 30 semester hours may be earned through College Level Ex-
amination Program (CLEP tests). Maximum credit for Advanced Placement tests
(AP testing) is also 30 semester hours. Please consult the section. Credit by Ex-
amination, on the following pages.

In all cases, only 75 semester hours may be earned outside of Oglethorpe
University through any of the means described above. At least 45 semester hours
must be earned in course work for which Oglethorpe credits are granted.

A minimum of 15 semester hours of a major must be in course work taken at
Oglethorpe University (for teacher education majors, please refer to Division VI
requirements in this Bulletin) . A minimum of nine semester hours of a minor must
be in course work taken at Oglethorpe. For education majors, these requirements
must be fulfilled before student teaching.

Office before a transient student can be accepted.

Credit by Examination

There are two testing programs through which students may earn credit for
required or elective courses. Any student who has questions about these examina-
tions should consult with the Registrar. No more than 30 semester hours of credit
will be accepted from each of the programs described below.

College Level Examination Program - CLEP

Within the CLEP testing program are two categories. The General Examina-
tions cover the areas of English Composition, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural
Science, and Social Science and History. Oglethorpe University does not award
credit for the General Examinations in English Composition, Natural Science,
Mathematics, or Social Science and History. Minimum acceptable scores are 500
for each general area and 50 in each sub-total category. The Subject Examinations
are designed to measure knowledge in a particular course. A minimum acceptable
score of 50 on a Subject Examination is required for credit. The Oglethorpe Regis-
trar should be contacted concerning which Subject Examinations may lead to credit
at Oglethorpe.

CLEP examinations normally are taken before the student matriculates at
Oglethorpe. Only under special circumstances will credit be awarded for an ex-
amination taken after the student completes his or her first semester at Oglethorpe
University. A maximum of three semester hours will be awarded for each exami-
nation. A maximum of 30 semester hours may be earned with acceptable CLEP
scores.

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

Advanced Placement Program

The University encourages students who have completed Advanced Placement
examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board to submit their scores
prior to enrollment for evaluation for college credit. The general policy of Ogle-
thorpe toward such scores is the following: Academic credit will be given in the

27

appropriate area to students presenting Advanced Placement grades of 3, 4, or 5;
neither credit nor exemption will be given for a grade of 2; maximum credit allowed
to any student for Advanced Placement tests will be 30 semester hours. Specific
policies are indicated in the chart which follows.

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

33

Financial
Assistance

Programs

Oglethorpe University offers a variety of strategies and resources to lower the
cost of an Oglethorpe education. Both need-based aid and awards based on academic
achievement are available. All families are urged to complete an approved needs-
analysis form regardless of their income level. The University's financial aid profes-
sionals will then have the information necessary to discuss all options available to
parents and students. The 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 Educational Opportunity Grants, College
Work-Study), and at the same time, apply for the Pell Grant, the Stafford Loan, as
well as the Georgia Incentive Grant, if a resident of Georgia. After filing the 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 1250 (ACT 29), a 3.6 or higher cu-
mulative academic grade-point average, and a superior record of leadership in ex-
tracurricular activities either in school or in the community. Applications must be
received by mid-December.

Oglethorpe Scholars Awards (OSA) Scholarships based on achievement are
available to students with superior academic ability. A fundamental aim of Ogle-
thorpe 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 abilities as undergraduates. Scholarships range upwards from
$1,500 to $8,000.

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

Oglethorpe on-campus employment will be provided to students who dem-
onstrate 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-analysis 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 available for Georgia resi-
dents who attend full time and seek their degrees at Oglethorpe. The program was
established by an act of the 1971 Georgia General Assembly. The Georgia Higher
Education Assistance Authority defines the program in this way: "The purpose of
the Act is to provide tuition assistance to Georgia resident students who are desirous

35

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 edu-
cational 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 1991-92 school year, this grant was $794
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 approved needs-analysis 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 assis-
tance. Eligibility is based upon a family's financial resources and a rationing formula
published by the government. Application for this program may be obtained from
the Office of Financial Aid or from a high school guidance office. This aid is
administered in the form of non-repayable grants.

Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) do not require
repayment. The size of the grant depends on the need of the individual recipient.

Perkins Loans (NDSL), are long-term, low-cost educational loans to students
who have demonstrated need for such assistance. No interest is charged and re-
payment is deferred while the borrower continues as a half-time student. Interest
is charged at a five percent annual rate beginning nine months after the borrower's
education ends. These loans are available 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, who volunteer under Title 1 - Part A of the Domestic
Volunteer Service Act, serve as a full-time volunteer in a similar tax-exempt or-
ganization 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 disabled children and in Head Start Programs.

Stafford Loans are long-term loans available through banks, credit unions,
and other lending institutions. Students must submit the approved needs-analysis
form as well as a separate loan application.

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

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 for Ty Cobb Scholarships.
Applications from undergraduate students who are married will not be considered.

Special Note: Dual-degree students in art and engineering may not use Ogle-
thorpe assistance to attend other institutions.

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

Eligibility for Federal Student Aid

Applicants for a Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, Supplemental Educational Oppor-
tunity Grant, College Work-Study, Stafford Loan, Parent Loan, or Supplemental
Loan for Students must meet the following criteria:

1. Be a U.S. citizen, national or permanent resident.

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

3. Maintain "satisfactory progress" in the course of study.

Satisfactory progress means that a student must earn 24 semester hours
each 12 months in order to continue receiving financial aid. Part-time stu-
dents must complete a percentage of 24 hours each year. For example, half-
time students must complete 12 semester hours.
Students who have not made satisfactory progress may re-establish their eli-
gibility by earning the required 24 hours and obtaining the cumulative grade-point
average required. All applicants who re-establish their eligibility must have an ap-
pointment with the Director of Financial Aid prior to receiving financial aid again.
In addition, students must remain in good standing. The following standards
are used to determine good standing:

If, at the end of the spring semester, the Director of Financial Aid determines
that a student has not met the foregoing standards, the student will be placed on
Financial Aid Probation for the fall semester and encouraged to enroll in summer
session courses at Oglethorpe to make up any deficiency and maintain eligibility. If
at the end of the summer session the student's cumulative grade-point average is
in compliance with the relevant standard, the student will not be placed on pro-
bation during the fall. Financial assistance may be continued in spite of non-com-
pliance with eligibility standards if a student's appeal to the Admissions and
Financial Aid Committee is accepted or if the Provost determines that the student
has made progress during 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 termi-
nated.

4. May not be in default on a student loan or obligated to pay a refund on a
previous federal program.

5. Establish financial need by filing an approved needs-analysis form.

Tuition and Costs

Fees and Costs

The fees, costs, and dates listed below are for 1992-93. Financial information
for 1993-94 will be available in early 1993.

The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents only 61 percent, of
the actual expense of educating each student, the balance coming from endowment
income, gifts, and other sources. Thus, every Oglethorpe undergraduate is the ben-
eficiary of a hidden scholarship. At the same time 75 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 $5,575 per semester. Room and board is $1,950-2,100 per
semester. Students who desire single rooms are assessed $2,350 to $2,550 for room
and board.

The tuition of $5,575 is applicable to all students taking 12-16 semester hours.
These are classified as full-time students. Students taking less than 12 semester
hours are referred to the section on Part-Time Fees. Students taking more than 16
hours during a semester are charged $185 for each additional hour. Payment 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 regis-
tration. Students receiving financial aid are required to pay the difference between
the amount of their aid and the amount due by the deadline. Students and parents
desiring information about various payment options should request the pamphlet
"Payment Plans." New students who require on-campus housing for the fall se-
mester are required to submit an advance deposit of $200. New commuting students
are required to submit an advance deposit of $100. Such deposits are not refundable.
However, the deposit is credited to the student's account for the fall semester.

Upon payment of the room and board fees, each student is covered by a Health
and Accident policy. Coverage begins on the day of registration. Full-time students
residing off campus may purchase this insurance for $107 per year. International
students, students participating in any intercollegiate sport, and students partici-
pating in intramural football or basketball are required to have this medical cov-
erage or its equivalent. (Insurance rates are for 1991-92. They are subject to change
for 1992-93 and 1993-94.)

In addition to tuition and room and board charges, students may be required
to subscribe to the following:

1. DAMAGE DEPOSIT: A $100 damage deposit is required of all resident
students. The damage deposit is refundable at the end of the academic year
after any charge for damages is deducted. Room keys and other University
property must be returned and the required checkout procedure completed
prior to issuance of damage deposit refunds. This deposit is payable at fall
registration. Students who begin in the spring semester also must pay the
$100 damage deposit.

2. GRADUATING SENIOR: Graduation fee of $65.

3. LABORATORY FEE: A $45 fee is assessed for each laboratory course taken.

ule and for 1993-94 fees.

Part-Time Fees - 1992-93

Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the fall or spring semesters
will be charged $1,400 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. Please inquire with the Business Office for a complete Fee
Schedule.

grams are charged $195 (Summer 1992 rate) per one semester hour. Please inquire
with the Business Office for a complete Fee Schedule.

Withdrawal, Drop/Add

Students who find it necessary to change their enrollment by dropping or add-
ing 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 schedule.
The professor may issue one of the following grades: Withdrew Passing (W), With-
drew 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 20th class day.

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

48

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

If a student must withdraw from the University, an official withdrawal form
must be obtained from the Registrar. The Director of Financial Aid must sign the
withdrawal form. The date the completed withdrawal form is submitted to the
Registrar will be the official date for withdrawal.

Refunds

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

Since the premium for insurance coverage is not retained by the University, it
will not be refunded after registration day. Since room and board services are
consumed on a daily basis, during the period when tuition is to be refunded on a
100 percent basis, the room and board refund will be pro rata on a daily 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 calculation of a refund for withdrawal or Drop/
Add will be the date on which the Registrar receives the official form signed by all
required personnel. All students must follow the procedures for withdrawal and
Drop/Add in order to receive a refund. Students are reminded that all changes in
their academic program must be cleared through the Registrar, and arrangement

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 competencies
reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning. Though uadely 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 ad-
vanced proficiency in these skills. In addition, students are offered specific prepa-
ration in the arts of leadership. Such arts include an appreciation of constructive
values, the setting of goals, public speaking, human relations, and organizational
skills.

This philosophy presents an excellent opportunity for the able young person
who is striving for a significant life, including leadership in the 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 its 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 ex-
periences. Information is disseminated which acquaints the student with the aca-
demic program and the extracurricular life of the campus community. Thorough
understanding of the advising system, the registration process, library use, class
offerings, and study demands is sought. Alternatives for self expression outside the
classroom also are presented to the new student.

To supplement the student's orientation experience, the Freshman Seminar is
required during the student's first semester.

1111. Freshman Seminar , 1 hour

A course for entering students which focuses on study and social skills necessary
for adjustment to college life, curriculum planning and career exploration, educa-
tional philosophy, and the history and purposes of Oglethorpe University.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

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

As members of the Oglethorpe community, students have the responsibility to
maintain high standards of conduct. They should respect the privacy and feelings
of others, and the property of both students and the University. Students are ex-
pected to display behavior which is not disruptive of campus life or the surrounding

52

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

Policy on Discriminatory and Sexual Harassment

Oglethorpe University places a high value on the dignity of the individual, on
tolerance of and an appreciation for human diversity, and on the principles of
academic freedom. It is the policy of the University that students and employees
be able to work, study, and live in a campus community environment free of dis-
criminatory harassment. Such harassment directed against an individual or group
that is based on race, religious belief, color, sexual orientation, national origin,
disability, age, or gender is prohibited. Any student or employee who violates this
policy may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the
University. Student organizations in violation of this policy may be subject to the
loss of University recognition.

Discriminatory harassment includes conduct (oral, written, graphic or physical)
directed against any person or group of persons because of their race, color, national
origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, or handicap and that has the purpose,
or reasonably foreseeable effect, of creating an offensive, demeaning, intimidating,
or hostile environment for that person or group of persons. Such conduct includes,
but is not limited to, objectionable epithets, demeaning depictions or treatment,
and threatened or actual abuse or harm.

In addition, sexual harassment of a student by another student, by a teacher,
or by a staff person will not be tolerated. Any unwelcome sexual advance, requests
for sexual favors, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, or any verbal conduct
that might be construed as a sexual slur that: (1) interferes with performance, or
creates a hostile, offensive or intimidating environment and/or (2) is an expressed
or implied condition by a teacher of evaluation or grading, will be viewed as mis-
conduct. Such behavior may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
dismissal.

Complaints relating to misconduct as defined in this policy on discriminatory
and sexual harassment should be reported to the Vice President for Student Affairs/
Dean of Community Life, the Provost, the Associate Dean of Administration, or the
Counselor. Complaints will be carefully investigated and, when appropriate, efforts
will be made to resolve conflicts through education, counseling, and conciliation.
Cases that may require disciplinary action will be handled according to the estab-
lished disciplinary procedures of the University. Complainants shall be protected
from unfair retribution.

Nothing in this policy statement is intended to infringe on the appropriate
exercise of the freedom of speech. The scholarly, educational, or artistic content of
any written, oral, or other presentation or inquiry shall not be limited by this policy.
It is the intent of the policy statement that academic freedom be allowed to all
members of the campus community. Accordingly, this provision will be liberally
construed but should not be used as a pretext for violation of this policy.

The Oglethorpe Student Association

The Oglethorpe Student Association is the guiding body for student Hfe at
Oglethorpe University. The O.S.A. consists of two bodies: an executive council,
composed of a president, vice president, parliamentarian, secretary, treasurer, and
presidents of the four classes; and the senate, chaired by the vice president, and
composed of four senators from each class. Both bodies meet regularly and the
meetings are open to the public. Additional information can be obtained from the
O.S.A. Office or the Student Center Office located on the upper level of the Emer-
son Student Center. The address is Oglethorpe Student Association, 3000 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 especially encour-
aged to join professional organizations associated wath their interests and goals.

Eligibility for membership in student organizations is limited to currently en-
rolled 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.

Fraternities and Sororities

Four fraternities and two sororities contribute to the Greek system at Ogle-
thorpe.

The four fraternities are Chi Phi,. Delta Sigma Phi, Kappa Alpha, and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon. The national sororities are Chi Omega and Sigma Sigma Sigma.

These social organizations strive to contribute substantially to the spiritual and
social betterment of the individual and develop college into a richer, fuller experi-
ence. Membership in these organizations is voluntary and subject to regulations
established by the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council, and the Dean
of Community Life.

Athletics

At Oglethorpe University the students who participate in intercollegiate ath-
letic competition are considered to be students first and athletes second. The Uni-
versity is an active member of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC)
and Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Members
of Division III may not award financial aid (other than academic honor awards) to
any student-athlete, except upon a showing of financial need by the recipient. Og-
lethorpe provides a program of Oglethorpe Scholars Awards, which is described in
the Financial Assistance section of this Bulletin. Many students who are interested
in sports and are superior academically do qualify for this form of assistance.

The University offers intercollegiate competition in basketball, baseball, soccer,
cross-country, tennis, and track and field for men; and in soccer, basketball, volley-
ball, cross-country, tennis, and track and field for women. The Stormy Petrels com-
pete against other SCAC schools, including Trinity University, Millsaps College,
Rhodes College, University of the South, Fisk University, Hendrix College, and
Centre College. The Petrels also challenge teams from schools outside the SCAC,
such as Emory University and Hampden-Sydney College.

In addition to intercollegiate competition, a well-rounded program of intra-
mural sports is offered and has strong participation by the student body. In recent

55

years about half of the full-time Oglethorpe students participated in one or more
intramural sports.

Men and women participate in badminton, basketball, flag football, softball,
table tennis, and volleyball.

Cultural Opportunities on Campus

There are numerous cultural opportunities for students outside the classroom.
The University Program Committee sponsors concerts, theatrical productions,
poetry readings, and lectures by visiting scholars. The University Singers perform
frequently during the year, including seasonal events. They often feature guest
artists. The University Museum, on the third floor of Philip Weltner Library, spon-
sors exhibitions as well as lectures on associated subjects and frequent concerts in
the museum. The Playmakers also stage several productions each year. Two annual
events, the Oglethorpe Night of the Arts and International Night, provide a show-
case for campus talent. The former presents student literary, musical, and visual
arts. The latter features international cuisine and entertainment. The Georgia
Shakespeare Festival which takes place on campus during the summer, is also a
valuable cultural asset to the Oglethorpe community.

Internships and Cooperative Education

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

Cooperative education and internship experiences are available to students in
all academic programs. Opportunities are possible in business, government, edu-
cation, public relations, publishing, social services, and health care institutions.

Counseling

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

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

Career Planning and Placement

The Career Planning and Placement Office offers a four-year program of career
development for students whose goals are an awareness of career and lifestyle
options, the ability to make informed career decisions, and the development of job

56

search strategies. The office helps students attain these goals by providing individual
counseling, interest inventories and self-assessment aids (including SIGI-PLUS, a
computer assisted career guidance program), workshops on career fields and deci-
sion-making as well as job-search workshops on such topics as resume writing and
interviewing techniques.

In addition, a number of prospective employers and graduate schools send
recruiters to the campus each year for the purpose of conducting on-campus inter-
views. Current information on permanent, summer, and part-time job opportunities
is made available to students and alumni. A career information library containing
information on a wide variety of companies and career opportunities also is main-
tained.

Opportunities in Atlanta

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

Housing and Meals

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

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

Health Service

All resident students subscribe to a Student Accident and Sickness Insurance
Plan provided by the University. Full-time students living off campus may purchase
this insurance. International students and students participating in all intercolle-
giate sports and intramural football are required to enroll in the Insurance Plan or
have equivalent coverage. A brochure is available at the Student Health Center
that describes the coverages provided by the plan.

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

57

A physician visits the health center twice a week to make general diagnosis
and treatment. In the event additional or major medical care is required, the stu-
dent-patient will be referred to medical specialists and hospitals in the area with
which the health service maintains a working relationship.

When it is determined that a student's physical or emotional health is detri-
mental to his or her academic studies, group-living situation, or other relationships
at the University or in the community, the student will be requested to withdraw.
Readmission to the University will be contingent upon acceptable verification that
the student is ready to return. The final decision will rest with the University.

International Student Services

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

The O Book

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

Academic Regulations
and Policies

Registration

New students select courses in consultation with faculty advisers to whom they
are assigned on their initial registration day. Schedule planning and course selection
for following semesters are accomplished during preregistration week. Students
should make appointments to consult with their academic advisers during pre-
registration. Full-time students wishing to participate in the University Center in
Georgia Cross Registration program (see Cross Registration in the section Pro-
grams of Study in this Bulletin) also should select courses during the preregistration
week of the fall and spring semesters. Summer schedules are planned during prer-
egistration week in the spring semester.

The official registration period precedes the first day of classes. Every student
must complete the various steps of the registration process during this period. Those
who have preregistered are able to pick up a copy of their course schedule at the
first station of registration and thereby bypass the station at which proposed course
schedules are computer-processed by Registrar's Office personnel. All other stations
must be completed by preregistered students.

Academic Advising

Each student consults with a member of the faculty in preparing course sched-
ules, discussing post-graduation plans, and inquiring about any other academic
matter. A student's adviser or "mentor" is assigned at the time of the student's
initial enrollment. The faculty adviser is each student's primary point of contact
with the University.

To change advisers a student must complete the following procedural steps:

1. Ask the proposed "new" faculty adviser for permission to be added to the
faculty member's advisee list.

2. Ask the current adviser to send his or her student file to the faculty member
who has agreed to be the student's new adviser.

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

This is the only method for changing academic advisers.

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

Attendance

Regular attendance at class sessions, laboratories, examinations, and official
University convocations is an obligation which all students are expected to fulfill.
Faculty members set specific attendance policies in their course syllabi.

Grading

Faculty members report letter grades for students at the end of each semester.
These grades become part of the student's official record. Once entered, a grade
may not be changed except by means of an officially executed Change of Grade
form.

62

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:

to complete the work for a course on time for reasons of health,
family tragedy, or other circumstances the instructor deems
appropriate, the grade "F' may be assigned. In such cases, the
instructor and student shall draw up a contract indicating specif-
ically the work the student must complete as well as a date by
which the work will be submitted, and the grade which will be
given if the student fails to complete that work. After the student
has read and signed the contract, it shall be filed with the Regis-
trar as promptly as the circumstances permit.
**** Grade has no effect on the GPA; credit is awarded.
Only work completed at Oglethorpe is reflected in the Oglethorpe GPA.

SatisfactoryAJnsatisfactory Option

After 30 semester hours are earned at Oglethorpe a student in good academic
standing may register to take two courses (internships and Science Seminar ex-
cluded) on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis. These courses cannot be taken in the
same semester and cannot be used to satisfy requirements of the core or the stu-
dent's major or minor. The student must register for the SatisfactoryAJnsatisfactory
designation by the end of the Drop/Add period after which the SatisfactoryAJnsat-
isfactory designation cannot be changed. Satisfactory is defined as a "C" or better.

Auditing Courses

Regularly admitted Oglethorpe students may register for courses on an "audit"
basis. A student who audits a course may attend the course for enrichment but is
not required to take course examinations or complete other course requirements.

63

In order to audit a course, a student must request an Audit form from the Regis-
trar's Office and submit it to the instructor of the course he or she intends to audit.
If the class is not closed, the instructor may accept the student as an audit by
returning the signed form to the Registrar's Office. The grade awarded for a class
taken on an audit basis is "AU," and no credits or quality points are earned.

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

Dean's List

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

Graduation Requirements

To earn a baccalaureate degree from the University the following requirements
must be met:

1. Completion of 120 semester hours of course credit with an Oglethorpe
cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher.

2. Completion at Oglethorpe of 30 of the last 60 semester hours of course
credit immediately preceding graduation. Courses taken at University Cen-
ter institutions on a cross-registration basis count as Oglethorpe courses for
the purpose of meeting this residency requirement.

3. Satisfaction of core requirements and major field or dual degree require-
ments (see appropriate disciplinary headings for descriptions).

4. Submission of an application for graduation to the Registrar's Office by
mid-October prior to completion of degree requirements the following
December, May, or August.

5. Satisfaction of all financial and other obligations to the University and pay-
ment of a graduation fee.

6. Participation in assessments of competencies gained and curricular effec-
tiveness by completing standardized or other tests and surveys. The Aca-
demic Profile test is administered during the first week of classes in August
and in January.

7. Receipt of formal faculty approval for graduation.

Graduation exercises are held twice a year at Oglethorpe in May and in
August. Diplomas are awarded at these ceremonies.

Master of Arts degree candidates are referred to the Division \T section of this
Bulletin for a description of degree requirements and other academic regulations
which pertain to the graduate program.

Good Standing, Probation and
Academic Dismissal

To be in good standing students must achieve the cumulative grade-point
averages specified below in relation to the number of semester hours they have
completed.

Cumulative GPA Required
Semester Hours Completed for Good Standing

0-35 1.50

36-65 1.75

66 and above 2.00

Students who fail to achieve good standing are placed on probation.
Students who do not achieve good standing for two consecutive semesters (poor
performance in summer sessions excluded) are subject to dismissal from the Uni-
versity 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 subject to dismissal, unless the student received a
"W" 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 Provost. Students
readmitted by petition must achieve good standing by the end of their second
semester as readmitted students or be dismissed permanently.

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: cum laude for a cumulative grade-
point average of 3.5 or higher; magna cum laude for 3.7 or higher; and summa cum
laude for 3.9 or higher.

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

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

Earning a Second Add-On Major

Students who have been awarded an Oglethorpe baccalaureate degree may
earn a second major within that degree at the University. Upon completion of the
requirements, the second major will be entered on the student's record and tran-
script. No diploma will be awarded since the second major is within the degree
already awarded. The requirements are:

1. Completion of an additional 30 semester hours of which a minimum of 15
must be completed at Oglethorpe.

2. Maintenance of a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average.

3. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time the
first degree was awarded.

Earning a Second Baccalaureate Degree

Students who have completed a baccalaureate degree may be awarded a second
and different baccalaureate degree. Upon completion of the requirements, the stu-
dent's record and transcript will reflect the conferring of a second degree and a
diploma will be awarded.

For students who earned their first baccalaureate degree at Oglethorpe, the
same requirements listed above apply.

For students who have earned their first baccalaureate degree at another in-
stitution, this degree is treated as transfer credit. Up to a maximum of 90 semester
hours may be accepted at Oglethorpe. The requirements for the second degree are:

1. Satisfaction of Oglethorpe core requirements.

2. Completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours at Oglethorpe.

3. Maintenance of a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average.

4. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time the
first degree was awarded.

Student Classification

For administrative and other official and extra-official purposes, undergraduate
students are classified according to the number of semester hours successfully com-
pleted. Classification is as follows: to 30 hours freshman; 31 to 60 hours
sophomore; 61 to 90 hours junior; 91 hours and above senior.

66

Normal Academic Load

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

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.

An overload (more than 16 semester hours) is allowed for seniors and students
with a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average. A student taking an overload
must be sure to have his or her adviser's approval and signature on the registration
form. The absolute upper limit is 18 hours per semester.

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

From the conclusion of Drop/Add period through midsemester or the middle
of a mini or summer session, the grade "W" or "WF" is assigned at the instructor's
discretion to a student who withdraws from a course (turns in a properly executed
withdrawal form at the Registrar's Office). After that time the grade "WF" is
assigned. Only in the case of prolonged illness (a physician's letter must be sub-
mitted directly to the Registrar's Office) or withdrawal from the University will a
"W" be assigned.

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

Repetition of Courses

Courses may be repeated only if an unsatisfactory grade (D, F, FA, or WF) was
received in the course. When a course is repeated, both grades are calculated into
the student's grade-point average, but no additional semester hours of credit are
earned.

For courses completed prior to 1984, consult the Registrar for applicable reg-
ulations.

Honor Code

1 Preamble

Persons who come to Oglethorpe University for work and study join a com-
munity that is committed to high standards of academic honesty. The Honor Code
contains the responsibilities students and faculty accept by becoming members of

67

the community and the procedures to be followed should this commitment to hon-
esty be broken.

The students and faculty of Oglethorpe University expect each other to be
truthful in the academic endeavor they share. Faculty assume students complete
work honestly and act toward them in ways consistent with that assumption.

Oglethorpe welcomes all who accept these principles of honest behavior. Mem-
bers of the community believe that this Code will enrich life at the University and
promote the practice of honorable, self-governed lives expected of society's leaders.

2 Pledge

Students pledge that they have completed assignments honestly by attaching
the following statement to each test, paper, overnight work, in-class essay, or other
work designated by the professor:

I pledge that I have neither given nor received any

unauthorized aid on this assignment.

Signed

It will be the responsibility of the class instructor to provide these pledges by
either attaching them on a separate sheet or typing them as part of the assignment.
The instructor also should remind the class to sign the pledge.

3 Faculty

Since it is assumed that students act according to their pledge, faculty abstain
from any practices whose purpose is to ascertain that students have been dishonest.
Instructors invite their own students to discuss with them actions or policies that
appear to be at variance with the assumption of honesty.

4 Jurisdiction

All credit courses offered by the University are covered by the Honor System,
and all cases of suspected academic dishonesty will be handled in accordance with
its provisions. It is the responsibility of faculty members to make clear how the
System applies to specific courses and to follow its procedures. Alternative ways of
dealing with cases are not to be used.

5 Definitions

5.1 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
course with work other than one's original work for that course. Students
have the responsibility of avoiding participation in cheating incidents by
doing their own work, taking precautions against others copying their work,
and in general neither giving nor receiving aid.

5.2 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 acknowledge
the source of such work. One has the responsibility of avoiding plagiarism by taking

68

adequate notes on reference materials used in the preparation of reports, papers,
and other course work.

6 Honor Councils

6.1 Composition

At the beginning of each academic year, two Honor Councils shall be appointed,
each consisting of five students, two faculty members, and a non-voting Secretary
with terms as indicated:

1 Freshman (one-year term)
I Sophomore (one-year term)

1 Junior (two-year term)

2 Seniors (one selected as Junior in prior year)
2 Faculty members (two-year terms, staggered)

1 Secretary of the Councils (University Registrar)

The two Honor Councils will alternate in hearing cases, each serving as an
appeal board for cases originally decided by the other when called upon to do so.

6.2 Quorum

Six members constitute a quorum.

6.3 Officers

The officers of the Councils will be:
Presiding Officer - the ranking Senior
Secretary - the University Registrar

6.4 Selection

Student and faculty members of the Councils will be selected randomly. All
full-time faculty members are eligible for selection. All degree-seeking students (day
or evening) are eligible. Members of both Honor Councils and three alternates for
each shall be selected randomly by the Registrar from a list of those eligible. After
being informed of the duties of Council members, students and faculty shall be
given the opportunity to decline to serve. On any given case, Honor Council mem-
bers may decline to serve when they believe that personal interests might interfere
with their impartiality in deciding the case.

6.4.1 Fall and Spring Terms

Formation of the Councils by random selection will be completed in the fall by
September 15. The terms are for fall and spring semesters, but if a Council member
does not return for spring semester, new selections will be made to fill any unexpired
terms.

6.4.2 Summer Term

There will be only one Honor Council for the summer semester. Its student
members will be randomly selected from those students who served on the regular
academic year Councils and who attend during the summer semester. Any appeals
of Honor Council actions will be deferred until the beginning of the fall semester.
(See Section 8 on Appeals below.) Vacancies will be filled by new random selections
after preregistration for summer and fall semesters. Tuition for one three-hour
course will be remitted for each Council member serving in the summer.

69

The terms of faculty members extend through the summer if they teach in the
summer session. The Provost will fill any vacancies with selections from the full-
time faculty teaching in the summer session.

7 Procedures

7.1 Reporting

It is the responsibility of all students and faculty to report suspected violations
of the Honor System. Students may report either to the professor of the class in
which the suspected violation occurs or to the Registrar (Secretary of the Councils).
Forms for reporting violations will be included in orientation materials and in The
Book. A signed form in the hands of the Secretary constitutes a report of a
suspected violation.

7.2 Preliminary Investigation

Upon receiving a report of a suspected violation, the Secretary informs the
professor in the class, the Presiding Officer of the Council, and the alleged offender.
The officers of the Council (Presiding Officer and Secretary) and the ranking faculty
member constitute an Investigatory Panel, which conducts a preliminary investi-
gation to ascertain whether there is sufficient evidence of a violation to warrant a
trial. If the evidence appears to be convincing, the Panel charges the suspected
offender and the Secretary assembles the Council for a trial. Anyone reporting a
suspected violation remains anonymous to all except the Investigatory Panel until
it is determined that a trial will be held. Then the person reporting the violation
will appear at the trial in the presence of the alleged offender.

7.3 Trial

7.3.1 Rights of the Accused

1. The right to be notified of all charges as expeditiously as possible (and, in
any event, within two business days) once the Investigatory Panel has de-

/ termined that a trial should occur.

2. Upon being charged by the Investigatory Panel, the right to a trial within
the following 10 business days.

3. The right to be accompanied by two advisers of the accused's choosing, who
may be any member of the University community. The advisers may act on
behalf of the accused in all matters of procedure, such as cross-examination,
calling of witnesses, etc.

4. The right to enter a plea. In the event of a guilty plea, any and all rights
regarding the calling of character witnesses, the offering of a closing state-
ment, and other pertinent procedures shall not be abridged.

5. The right to offer opening and closing statements, cross-examine witnesses,
call material witnesses and no more than two character witnesses.

6. The right to be present, together with advisers, during the entirety of the
trial. However, disruptive behavior may result in expulsion, at the discretion
of the Presiding Officer.

7. The right to challenge the impartiality of any specific member(s) of the
Council, providing that such charges can be substantiated.

8. The right to testify in one's own behalf. Should this option be exercised,
the accused has the obligation to answer honestly any and all questions put
to him or her. One can refuse to answer only for reasons of self-incrimi-
nation, in which event the reason must be so stated. Refusal to answer on
grounds of self-incrimination will not in itself be taken as evidence of guilt.

70

9. The right to be free from inference of guilt if the option to testify for one's
self is not exercised.

10. The right to a written transcript of the proceedings.

1 1. In the event of a not guilty verdict, the right to be free from retrial for the
same incident.

12. The right to attend any and all University classes, events, and functions

cedures and criteria relating to an appeal are specified below under Appeals.

15. The right to absolute confidentiality of all participants.

16. The right to be judged in a manner consistent with the penalty. For cases
involving punitive lowering of a grade in a course, guilt must be proven
only by a preponderance of the evidence. For cases carrying the penalty of
expulsion, guilt must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In any event,
the complainant has the burden of proof.

17. Evidence obtained through an illegal search shall not be admitted.

7.3.2 Rights Listed Not Exhaustive

The rights listed above under Rights of the Accused shall not be construed as
exhaustive.

7.3.3 Rights Not Accorded

1. Formal rules of evidence shall not be in effect. All pertinent matters shall
be admitted into evidence, including circumstantial evidence and hearsay,
the values of which shall be weighted accordingly.

2. The defendant does not have the right to be represented by professional
legal counsel during the hearing.

3. Affidavits are not admissible under any circumstances.

4. Any evidence that the accused, or any party acting on his or her behalf, has
threatened, accosted, or otherwise intimidated his or her accuser or any
adverse witness prior to the verdict, shall be admissible evidence and shall
be construed as a most serious breach of conduct.

7.3.4 Evidence and Witnesses

1. Upon receipt of a call for a trial by the Investigatory Panel, the Secretary of
the Councils shall summon the prosecution witnesses.

2. It will be the responsibility of the accused to summon witnesses to testify on
his or her behalf.

3. Aiding another while not enrolled in course in which the act of dishonesty
occurs

4. A continuing pattern of premeditated subversion of the System

7.3.6 Voting

Voting of the Honor Councils shall be by secret ballots, which will be counted
by the Presiding Officer. Guilt or innocence will be decided by a two-thirds vote.

7.4 Penalties

If the Council determines that a student has committed one of the four offenses
listed above in Specification of Offense, it will assess the following penalties:

1. Unpremeditated cheating Lowering of grade in course by letter

2. Premeditated dishonesty "F" in the course

3. Aid while not enrolled Suspension for the next full semester

4. Continuing subversion Permanent expulsion

Under 3 in 7.3.5 above, if the offense occurs during one's last semester, his or

her graduation will be delayed one full (fall or spring) semester. Also, the penalty
for any second offense is permanent expulsion.

7.5 Reporting of Verdict

If the determination of the Honor Council is that a student violated the Honor
Code, the student shall be informed that the decision of the Honor Council is final
unless within two business days the student so charged makes a written request to
the Secretary of the Honor Councils for an appeal hearing, stating why the student
believes justice was not done.

8 Appeals

8.1 Jurisdiction

The alternate Honor Council acting as an Appeal Board of the Honor Code
shall have the following jurisdiction:

1. To review the justice and procedure of the original Honor Council hearing.
If it can be proven that the Honor Council which originally heard the case
deviated substantially from the hearing procedure of the Honor Code, the
defendant has a right to a new hearing.

2. To consider any new evidence and to decide on the basis of that evidence
whether or not a new hearing is warranted.

3. If one is warranted, to hold a new hearing in accordance with the provisions

shall notify the alternate Council (i.e., the Council which did not hear the case
originally), which shall hear the appeal.

Proceedings of the appeal hearing shall be recorded by the Secretary of the
Councils. (A tape recording is urged.) The accused may have no more than two
advisers who must be members of the University community. These advisers may
be present at the hearing and may ask questions of any of the witnesses and the
accused.

72

The defendant shall be informed of the decision of the alternate Honor Council
by the Provost.

If acquitted on a charge by the alternate Honor Council, a person may not be
tried a second time by either Honor Council for the same incident.

Access to Students Records

To comply with the Family Educational and Privacy Act of 1974, commonly
called the Buckley Amendment, Oglethorpe University informs students of their
rights under this act in the student handbook, The Book. Three basic rights are
covered by this act: (1) The student's right to have access to personal records, (2)
the right of a hearing to challenge the content of a record, and (3) the right to
withhold or give consent for the release of identifying data. Additional information
may be obtained from The Book and from the Registrar.

Mathematics and Computer Science

Under the semester system, courses of one to five semester hours credit are
offered. A full-time student carries a normal academic load of five courses during
each semester (12-16 semester hours).

A minimum of 120 hours (or equivalent for transfer students) is required for
graduation. Some programs may require additional credit. The core curriculum, as
described below, is required of all four-year, degree-seeking students in the under-
graduate program.

In the sections that follow courses are listed numerically by discipline within
their respective divisions. Most courses are designated by a four-digit number. The

75

first digit indicates the level of the course: 1 freshman level, 2 = sophomore
level, 3 = junior level, 4 = senior level, and 6 = graduate level. Higher level courses
in a discipline are typically designed to build upon the content of lovk'er 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 by the successful completion of the course.

Major Programs

Completion of a major program is required for all baccalaureate degrees. The
student's academic adviser assists with the student's selection of a major. The stu-
dent declares the major selected on the course registration form completed each
semester. Students must have declared a major by the end of the second semester
of the sophomore year.

A major is an orderly sequence of courses in (1) a particular discipline, (2) a
combination of two disciplines, or (3) a defined interdisciplinary field. A major must
include a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 62 semester hours of required course
work, exclusive of all hours used to satisfy core requirements. Each major must
allow for the student's selection of courses which are not in the discipline(s) of the
major and not required components of the core curriculum. Each major includes a
substantial component of advanced courses which have specified prerequisites. A
major may require for successful completion a cumulative grade-point average in
the major field which is higher than the 2.0 cumulative grade-point average required
for graduation. Alternatively, the requirements for the major may state that only
courses in which a "C" or higher grade is received may be used in satisfaction of
the major's requirements. The student is responsible for ensuring the fulfillment
of the requirements of the major selected. Specific requirements for each of the
majors listed below are indicated in the section of the Bulletin in which the course
offerings of the discipline are described or in the sections which state the require-
ments 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 com-
pleted in an approved health sciences program at a cooperating institution (see
Medical Technology in Division II of this Bulletin).

A minimum of 15 semester hours of a major must be in course work taken at
Oglethorpe University (for teacher education majors, please refer to Division VI
requirements in this Bulletin.)

Honors Program

All students at Oglethorpe University are encouraged to attain academic and
personal excellence. The University offers an Honors Program for those students
who have demonstrated ability to do exceptional scholarly work, and who desire to
investigate some topic or area of scholarly endeavor in depth. Because the purpose
of the program is to offer enhanced academic opportunities to those students who
are capable of, and willing to do work well beyond that required for successful
completion of a major, honors work does not count toward the major. The program

77

also is intended to foster increased interaction between students and faculty with
diverse interests but similar dedication to academic excellence.

The Honors Program is a three-semester program. During the spring semester
of the junior year, a student secures the permission of a thesis supervisor and enrolls
in 3999 Honors I. The eligibility requirement is an overall 3.3 grade-point average
and a 3.5 grade-point average in the field in which the thesis is to be written.
Students slightly below this standard may still enroll in 3999 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. Juniors
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 work on
a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis, the grade being determined by the Honors Pro-
gram 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 requirements for the summer, but the student ought to make enough prog-
ress 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 grade-point average 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 hour of credit
and a letter grade, assigned by the Honors Program Director with the advice of the
supervisor. The final draft of the thesis is presented to the committee at least one
week prior to the end of classes. The committee will make a decision regarding the
granting of honors by the first day of the final examination period. At the commit-
tee's discretion the student may be asked to make a formal defense of the thesis.

3999. Honors 1 1 hour

Participation in the Honors Seminar and preparation of the honors research
prospectus is to be taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis during the spring
semester of the junior year. Prerequisites: Permission of the Honors Program Di-
rector, permission of a faculty research supervisor, a 3.3 overall grade-point average,
and a 3.5 grade-point average in the field in which the honors research is to be
done.

4998. Honors II 3 hours

Honors II is an independent study under the direction of the faculty research
supervisor, including research, analysis and preparation of a first draft of an honors
thesis. It is to be taken on a graded basis during the fall semester of the senior
year. Participation in the Honors Seminar also is required. Prerequisites: Permission

78

of the faculty supervisor, successful completion of 3999, a 3.3 overall grade-point
average, and a 3.5 grade-point average in the field in which the honors research is
to be done.

4999. Honors III 1 hour

The third semester of the Honors Program includes participation in the Honors
Seminar and revisions of the honors thesis under the direction of the faculty
supervisor. It is to be taken on a graded basis during the spring semester of the
senior year. Prerequisite: Grade of "A" in 4998.

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 and Culture 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 review.

Upon completion of the joint program, the student receives the degree of
Bachelor of Arts from Oglethorpe and the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts from
The Atlanta College of Art. Students participating in the dual degree program must
meet the entrance requirements of both institutions. Dual degree students are
advised at Oglethorpe by a faculty member in the field of visual arts.

Dual Degree Program in Engineering

Oglethorpe is associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Uni-
versity of Florida, Auburn University, and the University of Southern California in
combined programs of liberal arts and engineering. The programs require the stu-
dent 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 cur-
riculum 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 Technology 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 Uni-
versity and the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering by the engineering
school. Because the required pre-engineering curricula of the three affiliated schools

79

are slightly different, the student is advised to consult frequently with the faculty
member serving as dual degree engineering program adviser.

Engineering is a difficult subject. Students can maximize their chances for
success by starting at Oglethorpe where the faculty's primary concern is effective
teaching and working closely with students. Classes are small, and laboratories offer
the opportunity for hands-on experience with sophisticated equipment. This strong
foundation gives the student an excellent preparation for professional school, re-
sulting in more effective learning in advanced engineering courses. As a liberal arts
and sciences university, Oglethorpe stresses broad education for intelligent lead-
ership. Here, the student will explore the fundamental fields of knowledge, further
his or her understanding of science and mathematics, and refine the abilities to
read, write, speak, and reason with clarity. This preparation will serve the student
well in any career but particularly so in the engineering field. With strong prepa-
ration in engineering plus a liberal arts education, the student will be ready for a
variety of career positions. The dual degree engineering program provides an ed-
ucation that is both broad and deep a combination that will serve the graduate
well as career responsibilities increase.

Individually Planned Major

A student who wishes to pursue a course of study not included in one of the
available majors may petition to receive permission to complete an individually
planned major.

Such a major must include at least 33 semester hours of course work beyond
core requirements. At least 18 semester hours of the major must be completed in
courses above the introductory level in a particular discipline. This discipline will
be defined as the major's concentration. Graded course work in the major must
have a grade-point average of at least 2.0. Course work that is included in the
individually planned major may not be counted toward a second major or a minor.

To apply for an individually planned major, the student, in consultation with
his or her academic adviser, must complete an application, available at the Regis-
trar's Office, to be approved by the Provost and the chair of the division in which
the proposed major's concentration is included. This application should be submit-
ted by the end of the second semester of the student's sophomore year. The appli-
cation must specify the following:

1. The major's coverage and definition.

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

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

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

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

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 sub-
mission 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 ad-
mission to appropriately accredited colleges of medicine, dentistry, and veterinary
medicine. This option allows students to enter their respective professional schools
at the end of their junior year. Credit is awarded at Oglethorpe for the successful
completion of the first year of professional school. See Degrees above.

Allied Health Studies

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

In allied health fields, successful completion of the program in an accredited
professional school and a minimum of 60 semester hours credit earned at Ogle-
thorpe 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 comprehension,
writing, speaking, and reasoning. The student is encouraged to become more
familiar with political, economic, and social institutions as they have developed
historically and as they function in contemporary society. Students are referred to
the 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.

81

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 chair 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.

Physical Fitness

The following two physical fitness courses are offered for credit. For a descrip-
tion of the sports program at Oglethorpe University, please see Athletics in this
Bulletin.

1101. Physical Fitness for Living 3 hours

A course designed to provide students an understanding and awareness of one's
fitness potential through proper nutrition and aerobic exercise. Evaluation of per-
sonal fitness levels in the areas of stress, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle
strength, body composition, flexibility, and identification of coronary risk factors
will assist the student in preparing for a balanced and healthy life.

1102. Fitness Through Lifetime Sports 1 hour

A course designed to provide instruction in the skills, knowledge, and under-
standing of various sports that can be enjoyed throughout a person's lifetime. Ac-
quainting students with the history, rules, and techniques, and offering individual
instruction in these sports will help the student maintain fitness through wholesome
recreation. Prerequisite: 1101.

Interdisciplinary Majors

Interdisciplinary majors are offered in American Studies, Business Administra-
tion 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 op-
portunity to develop a systematic and in-depth understanding of American culture.
By combining American studies courses and courses from relevant disciplines (his-
tory, literature, the arts, economics, and the social sciences), students may explore
the relationships of diverse aspects of American life. Students also are able to pursue
their special interests within American culture by developing an "area of concen-
tration" 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

82

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.

The required courses in American literature and history may not be used to
satisfy core requirements. The American Experience, 2472, should be taken in the
freshman or sophomore year. Courses 3477 and 4473 are to be taken in the junior
and senior years. A "C" average in major course work is required for graduation.

and perspectives essential to effective participation in the emerging multicultural
business and social environment. The major helps to prepare students for careers
in international commerce, the travel and convention businesses, international
banking and finance, and government. The major also provides an appropriate
undergraduate background for the professional study of business, public policy, and
law. Students interested in this major should ask the Registrar to refer them to a
faculty adviser who specializes in this major. The degree awarded is the Bachelor
of Arts.

ciency in a foreign language which would be equivalent to four semesters of study.
A study abroad experience is required. A summer or semester at a foreign
university is the preferred method for fulfilling this requirement. Students may plan
to complete the language requirement above during their study abroad experience.
Students who receive financial aid at Oglethorpe should consult with the Financial
Aid Office early in the pursuit of this major to determine available funding for the
study abroad experience. Generally, financial aid awarded for study at Oglethorpe
University is not transferable for study abroad with another institution.

Oglethorpe University maintains' affiliations with the American Institute for
Foreign Study, Seigakuin University in Tokyo, and the Universidad de Belgrano in
Buenos Aires, Argentina to aid students in identifying worthwhile foreign study

86

opportunities. Other programs in the recent past in which students have studied
abroad include Brethren Colleges Abroad, International Intercultural Studies Pro-
gram of the University System of Georgia, and the Centre Linguistique Pour Etran-
gers. Advisers who specialize in the international studies field can acquaint students
with programs at these institutions and with a wide variety of additional overseas
study programs.

Note: Students who graduated from a secondary school located abroad at which
the language of instruction was not English may satisfy the language
requirement with English as a Second Language I and II. They may satisfy
the study abroad requirement via their residency in the United States.

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 wdthout the ex-
istence of a number of mathematical developments once thought to be entirely
theoretical in nature.

The major in Mathematics and Computer Science is designed to acquaint
students with the various linkages between computer science and mathematics and
to enable students to understand more thoroughly their primary discipline, whether
it is mathematics or computer science. Rigorous training in mathematical thinking
will provide the student with essential analytical tools and mental discipline, while
the problem-solving skills that will be sharpened in the process of developing al-
gorithms for computer applications will prove to be beneficial to students of math-
ematics. Students will become 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:

1335 Calculus I

1336 Calculus II

Internships and Cooperative Education

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

Opportunities are available in all majors for students who (I) demonstrate a
clear understanding of the goals they wish to accomplish in the experience and (2)
possess the necessary academic and personal background to accomplish these goals.
In addition to local experiences, students may apply for international co-op/intern-
ship assignments through Oglethorpe's membership in the International Cooper-
ative Education Consortium, which is managed by the Georgia State University
Office of Cooperative Education.

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

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 statement
of academic objectives and requirements developed in consultation with the stu-
dent's faculty adviser and/or faculty internship supervisor. Upon successful comple-
tion 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.

If no academic credit is needed or sought, a non-credit internship can be
arranged, utilizing the quality control provided by the Office of Career Planning
and Placement.

Internships have been available in a large variety of local businesses and or-
ganizations such as Deloitte and Touche, Atlanta Historical Society, CNN Sports,
United Methodist Children's Home, Gwinnett Medical Center, Georgia League of
Women Voters, Zoo Atlanta Animal Research, IBM, Price Waterhouse, The Carter
Center, The New York Times-Southern Bureau, and the Georgia Department of
Labor, to name only a few.

In addition to these Atlanta-based internships, Oglethorpe also is affiliated with
two organizations in the nation's capital where students from all majors can ser\'e
as interns in the Washington, D.C. area. These organizations are The Washington
Center and The Washington Semester Program of American University.

Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education is a non-credit program in which students with a grade-
point average of 2.5 or higher alternate semesters of work and study until gradu-
ation. 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 ed-
ucation 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.

Cross Registration

Oglethorpe University is a member of the University Center in Georgia, a
consortium of the 18 institutions of higher education in the greater Atlanta area.
Through the University Center, students may enroll in courses at any other mem.ber
institution. The student need not be admitted to the other institution and completes
all procedures, including payment of tuition, at Oglethorpe.

Courses taken at University Center institutions on a cross-registration basis
count as Oglethorpe courses. While grades earned through consortium courses are
not tabulated in grade-point averages, courses with grades of "C" or higher count
toward the major.

Interested students should consult the Registrar for program details.

The Core
Curriculum

History of the Core Curriculum

The idea for a "core curriculum" at Oglethorpe University is nearly half a
century old, dating back to 1944 when Oglethorpe's President Philip Weltner pro-
posed a totally new liberal arts curriculum aimed at "student development in human
understanding and citizenship, alongside training for livelihood." Weltner published
his ideas for a new core curriculum in a small brochure called The Oglethorpe Book,
outlining his new integrative plan and his philosophy of education, and in so doing,
he anticipated some of the ideas featured in General Education in a Free Society,
Harvard University's 1945 statement stressing an emphasis on liberal arts and a
core curriculum. The idea of a core curriculum was at that time so revolutionary
in higher education that news of the Oglethorpe plan appeared in The New York
Times in the spring of 1945. Dr. Weltner told The Times: "We are trying to develop
keen. ..appreciation and understanding. Instead of dividing our courses into separate
schools, we are giving the students a good liberal and general education which can
become the basis of hundreds of vocations." Weltner's new plan was received with
enthusiasm not only in the press but also on campus. He was able to tell The Times
reporter in 1945 that after nearly a year with the new curriculum in place, "for the
first time I [have] noticed that the students understand why they are taking the
courses they do."

Dr. Weltner's core curriculum for the Oglethorpe students of the 1940s re-
flected the concerns of the war era: the core comprised one half of every student's
total course work and featured courses in "Citizenship" and "Human Understand-
ing." As the concerns of the war era receded and the post-war information explosion
ensued, the Oglethorpe core underwent extensive revision in the 1960s, its required
courses coming to resemble much more closely traditional courses in the disciplines.
Gradually this core came to focus on those courses representing competencies that
a well-educated generalist ought to have upon graduating from college.

The Oglethorpe core curriculum, implemented in the fall of 1992, represents
a new idea about core curriculum and its purpose. Rather than an attempt to define
what every student should know or a list of basic competencies every student should
have, the new core curriculum takes as its starting point the need to inculcate and
nurture in Oglethorpe students a taste for and skill at intellectual inquiry. A result
of a two-year revision process funded by a major grant from the National Endow-
ment for the Humanities, the new core curriculum differs from previous versions
of the core in that it has, since its inception, involved a coordinated effort from the
faculty to provide a common focus for all core courses. Faculty are committed to
working together through frequent conversation about the content and goals of
their courses to ensure that the core courses students take provide an integrated
approach to investigating five key questions. Each core course represents a distinct
way of knowing, a distinct approach to understanding these central questions of the
human experience. With its central focus, the core is every student's second major
at Oglethorpe.

Liberal Education and the Core Curriculum

An Oglethorpe education prepares students to live as free human beings who
take an active interest in the world around them, and who have developed those
modes of thought and action that will make them effective builders of communities.

91

In The Idea of a University, John Henry Newman explains that a hberal education
forms "a habit of mind. ..which lasts through life," with "nothing more or less than
intellectual excellence" as its object. Thomas Jefferson, in Notes on the State of Vir-
ginia, argues that without such development of the intellect, democracy will perish:
"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The
people themselves therefore are its only safe depositories, and to render even them
safe their minds must be improved...."

Such mental development requires knowledge of and the capacity to analyze
the civilization in which we live. We must be able to raise intelligent questions about
apparently self-evident truths, and about whether they can be verified or confirmed
upon serious reflection. We also must have the capacity to reflect critically on
passions, temptations, impulses, and indeed on thinking itself. As Jefferson pro-
claimed, we must not be afraid "to follow truth wherever it may lead...." At the
very least, a liberal education ought to impart to students a taste for free inquiry
as well as a sense of why such inquiry is important.

Oglethorpe University combines these aims with an institutional commitment
to small classes, personal attention to the individual student, collaborative activities,
and critical reading and writing. In its dedication to a broad, comprehensive liberal
education for each student, Oglethorpe has created a common set of core courses
that invite students to be thoughtful, inquisitive, and reflective about the human
condition and the world surrounding them. These core courses work together with
students' experiences in advanced courses in their chosen disciplines to encourage
the life-long "habit of mind" that Newman extols. Students are thus urged to
consider carefully what they see, hear, and read, to examine questions from more
than one point of view, and to avoid leaping quickly to conclusions.

The central considerations of the Oglethorpe core are expressed in the form
of five questions, questions that have no easy answers:

1. What are our present ways of understanding ourselves and the universe?

2. How do these ways of understanding evolve?

3. How do we deal with conflicts in our ways of understanding?

4. How do we decide what is of value?

5. How do we decide how to live our lives?

The Oglethorpe core curriculum initiates and sustains meaningful discussion
about matters which are and have been fundamental to understanding the human
condition and dealing thoughtfully with its ambiguities. The courses in the core
program present a variety of distinct ways of knowing or understanding ourselves.

As students become actively engaged with faculty in asking and attempting to
answer the central questions raised by the core courses, they will learn to appreciate
the life of the mind and to be interested in hearing the variety of voices that have
addressed these questions. In an effort to ensure that students encounter such
points of view directly, Oglethorpe's core courses are designed to stimulate intensive
interaction between faculty and students.

The core curriculum provides only a beginning for the investigation of signifi-
cant questions. What students have at the completion of the Oglethorpe core pro-
gram are not final answers but a multiplicity of ways of knowing and experiencing
the world. They will, in addition, be prepared to continue this inquiry on their own.

American Studies

For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in American Studies,
please see the Interdisciplinary Majors section of this Bulletin.

Art

The art program offers courses in art history and studio work to enhance
students' appreciation of works of art and to develop skills in a variety of media.
The program is distinctive in its consistent emphasis on realism which is achieved
through the development of classical fundamentals in every studio course. A student
who takes even one course as an elective can learn to draw, paint, or sculpt from
reality while gaining confidence through understanding basic concepts.

Artist-In-Residence

Oglethorpe has originated an International Artist-in-Residence Program which
enables an artist to create on campus for a semester. Each student has the oppor-
tunity to meet and discuss art and ideas with a professional practicing artist from
another culture. The selected artist has a working space in the Faith Hall studio
and has specific studio hours during the week when he or she is available to converse
and share with the students and the public. The artist will have his or her work
exhibited in the Oglethorpe University Museum.

Minor

To minor in art one must concentrate in one of four areas: painting, art history,
photography, or drawing.

For a minor in painting, a student must take three painting courses, two draw-
ing courses, one art history course, and one photography course.

For a minor in art history, a student must take three art history courses, one
photography course, one drawing course, one painting course, and a second course
in either painting or drawing or photography.

For a minor in photography, a student must take three photography courses,
two drawing courses, one painting course, and one art history course.

For a minor in drawing, a student must take three drawing courses, two paint-
ing courses, one art history course, and one photography course.

Upon consultation with art faculty, a student may substitute an independent
study or special topics course for one of the requirements where appropriate.

C181. Art and Culture 3 hours

This course surveys the creative ways that human beings throughout history
have attempted to depict their relationships to their surroundings. Art is thus
viewed as a barometer of civilization, a visual, creative response to the intellectual
and emotional climate of a given moment in history. Students will examine present
ways of understanding ourselves and the universe, the evolution of that understand-
ing, and the conflicts involved. Basic artistic principles and concepts also will be
studied in an effort to decide what has artistic value. Recommended for junior or
senior year but should precede studio art courses.

95

1182. Drawing 3 hours

Studio exercises, in-studio lectures, outside assignments, and critiques are de-
signed to develop a basic understanding of drawing. Projects will be designed to
explore concepts and theories of drawing and to develop the bridge between obser-
vation and creating an image.

1183. Painting 3 hours

Studio exercises, in-studio lectures, outside assignments, and critiques are de-
signed to develop a fuller understanding of the technical aspects of oil painting. A
study of composition, color, drawing, and expression will be included. Emphasis will
be on the development of a personal direction and self-confidence in painting.

1185. Photography 3 hours

Laboratory exercises, in-class lectures, critiques and assignments are designed
to develop an understanding of all aspects of photography, including composition
and self expression. Emphasis will be on development of technical skills and a
personal direction in photography.

2181. Special Topics in Art History 3 hours

An in-depth analysis of specific historical art periods will stress how major
artists and trends were influenced by their times. Discussion of important events
and ideas of significant individuals of the period will serve to provide the necessary
background for a thorough comprehension of social and intellectual sources of art.

Communications

A program in communications prepares students to express themselves effec-
tively in speech and in writing. It encourages students to examine their own modes
of communication and to analyze the communication of others, from individual
utterances to mass media coverage.

Graduates in communications generally go on to careers in journalism, public
relations, advertising, mass media, corporate communications, and related fields.
They also are prepared for further study in journalism or communications.

All communications majors must also complete a minor course of study in any
other discipline of their choice to enable them to apply their communication skills
to a specific body of knowledge and to enhance employment possibilities.

Although an internship is not required for the major, it is strongly recom-
mended.

English

In literature courses, students examine written works to determine their mean-
ing, to reach judgments about their value, to explore their relation to life, and to
derive pleasure. To these ends, students make written and oral analyses, supporting
their conclusions with close examination of specific passages from the works of
literature being studied. In both literature and writing courses, students learn to
compose their generalizations and supporting details into a coherent structure of
thought and language.

An English major at Oglethorpe is excellent preparation for law school or any
other professional training that requires students to interpret written material, and
support their assertions with specific evidence. Given the expressed need in the
business community for people who can communicate well orally and on paper, the
combination of an English major and courses in business administration or an ac-
counting minor may be very attractive to prospective employers. The course. Ad-
vanced Writing for Business and the Professions, focuses on the kinds of speaking
and writing abilities graduates will need to get and keep jobs in personnel, sales,
and management. Oglethorpe graduates also work in public relations and editing,
where they use their skill with words a major emphasis of every English course.
They go into teaching, and sometimes work for publishers, television stations, film-
making companies, or computer firms. They write press releases, training manuals,
in-house newspapers, and news copy.

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

American Studies

For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in American Studies,
please see the Interdisciplinary Majors section of this Bulletin.

History

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

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

International Studies

For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in International Stud-
ies, please see the Interdisciplinary Majors section of this Bulletin.

Politics

The study of politics at Oglethorpe University focuses on the interpretation of
events, both past and current, from a perspective informed by the study of political
thought and institutions. In addition, students in this discipline develop their ca-
pacity to compare analagous cases and to generalize. The ability to read difficult
texts carefully and thoughtfully is especially important in political theory courses.
Students of politics develop some tolerance for ambiguity and disagreement, while
at the same time learning to appreciate the difference between informed and uni-
formed opinion. The study of politics provides good training for life in a world that
is, for better or worse, shaped profoundly by political institutions. It is especially
appropriate for those interested in careers in law, business, teaching, journalism,
and government.

To engage in career exploration and to learn more about practical politics,
majors are encouraged to seek internships. The University is able to arrange nu-
merous exciting opportunities, including those available through its affiliations with
The Washington Center for Internships and the Washington Semester Program of
American University. While students may earn up to 15 semester hours of internship
credit, only 6 may count toward the fulfillment of major requirements and 3 toward
the fulfillment of minor requirements.

Students majoring in politics also are encouraged to consider the possibility of
studying abroad. Oglethorpe maintains affiliations with the American Institute for
Foreign Study, Seigakuin University in Tokyo, and the Universidad de Belgrano in
Buenos Aires, Argentina to facilitate such study.

115

Major

The requirements for a major in politics are satisfactory completion of at least
10 politics courses as well as four elective (non-core) courses in related subjects, no
more than two of which maybe in the same subject. These "related subjects" include
all history courses, as well as courses in philosophy, sociology, economics, quanti-
tative methods, writing, or a foreign language, subject to the discretion of the
student's adviser.

All majors must take Introduction to Politics; courses in all four basic subfields
of the discipline (American government, comparative politics, international rela-
tions, and political philosophy) also must be taken.

Minor

To receive a minor, students must take at least five politics courses. These
courses must fall in at least three of the four basic subfields of the discipline (Amer-
ican government, comparative politics, international relations, and political philos-

The courses in this year-long study are devoted to the careful study of classic
texts that lie at the common roots of all the contemporary social sciences. The aim.
is to show how contemporary social science is a form of "moral inquiry" that re-
sponds to questions intelligent human beings have always asked. To this end, the
focus will be on various compelling and distinctive treatments of the enduring
questions about justice and the good life. The question will be posed whether there
is a single or plural human good and whether this good (or these goods) can or
must be pursued within the confines of a social or political order. Works will be
studied by such thinkers as Aristotle, John Locke, Adam Smith, Alexis de Tocque-
ville, and Max Weber.

Division III

Science and Mathematics

I '

The natural sciences and mathematics are integral parts of our complex and
changing society. In keeping with the University's purpose of preparing humane
generalists, the Division of Science and Mathematics introduces students both to
the methods of inquiry of mathematics and science and also to the results of the
efforts of scientists to understand physical and biological phenomena. Further, for
students who major in one of the natural sciences or mathematics, the division's
goals are to provide a thorough background in the major field and to assist students
in clarifying and achieving their career goals.

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 requirements as well as those departmental and divisional
requirements that apply to the specific degree.

Three semesters of the course Science Seminar are required for all science
majors. A grade-point average of 2.0 or higher in all courses listed as required for
the major must be achieved in order to graduate in one of the fields within the
division.

Biology

The curriculum in biology provides a foundation in both classical and contem-
porary biological concepts and prepares the student for continuing intellectual
growth and professional development in the life sciences. These goals are achieved
through completion of a set of courses that provide a comprehensive background
in basic scientific concepts through lectures, discussions, writing and laboratory
work. The program supplies the appropriate background for employment in re-
search 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. Com-
pletion of a biology major does not ensure admission to these schools.

Major

The requirements for a major in biology are as follows: in sequence, General
Biology I and II, Genetics, Microbiology, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, Human
Physiology plus three additional directed biology courses; General Chemistry I and
II (with laboratories). Organic Chemistry I and II (with laboratories). Elementary
Quantitative Analysis; General Physics I and II; Calculus I and Probability and
Statistics; three semester hours of Science Seminar. (Three of the above listed
courses. General Biology I, General Chemistry I, and a mathematics course, fulfill
core requirements. They are thus not part of the msLJOT per se.)

Minor

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

science seminar are normally held twice each month during the regular academic
year. Each science major is expected to prepare, deliver, and defend a paper for at
least one seminar meeting during the three-semester period of enrollment; other
seminar papers will be presented by invited speakers, including members of the
science faculty. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis the first two semesters;

Chemistry

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

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

Since such skills are essential in all fields of endeavor, mathematics makes an
important contribution to a liberal arts education.

In particular, mathematics provides fundamental tools for analysis of problems
in the physical, biological, and social sciences, as well as in such areas as economics
and business. Also, opportunities are provided to pursue the more theoretical as-
pects of mathematics, which are integral to its further development.

A major in mathematics provides a core of mathematics essential for graduate
study or immediate employment. Students with mathematical training at the un-
dergraduate level are sought by employers in business, government, and industry.
Career opportunities for mathematics majors exist in areas such as computer pro-
gramming, operations research, statistics, and applied mathematics.

Medical Technology

Medical technologists play an important role in the delivery of modern health
care. Although hospitals and clinics are their traditional sites of employment, med-
ical technologists also find opportunities in many other situations, such as com-
mercial 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 Tech-
nology undertake their clinical training at an approved institution after successful
completion of prerequisite academic course work at Oglethorpe University. Prereq-
uisites for clinical programs vary among institutions; therefore, students should seek
additional advisement from the program to which they are applying. This will enable
the student and the Oglethorpe adviser to design the proper sequence of courses

127

and to establish an appropriate time frame for completion of degree requirements.
Courses to be completed at Oglethorpe will usually include the followdng: General
Biology I and II, Microbiology, Human Physiology, General Chemistry I and II (with
laboratories), Organic Chemistry I and II (with laboratories). Elementary Quanti-
tative Analysis, College Algebra or Calculus I, and appropriate core courses. At least
60 semester hours must be completed at Oglethorpe in order to be eligible for an
Oglethorpe degree in medical technology.

Psychology

Psychology uses scientific methods to study a broad range of topics related to
behavior and mental processes, including motivation, learning and memory, human
development and personality, psychological disorders, social interaction, and phy-
siologial bases for behavior and thought. The study of psychology should help a
student to develop skills in three basic areas: skills associated with the scientific
method, including data collection, analysis, and interpretation; skills that are useful
in the construction and evaluation of theories, such as analytic and synthetic rea-
soning; and skills in human relations through which the student learns to become
a more precise and more tolerant observer of human behavior and individual dif-
ferences. Many students with a background in psychology choose careers in psy-
chology-related fields, such as counseling, psychotherapy, or research, but many
others choose careers that are not so directly tied to psychology. For example,
psychology provides a good background for careers in law, education, marketing,
management, public relations, publishing, and communications.

Major

The major consists of at least nine psychology courses beyond Psychological
Inquiry, including Probability and Statistics, Research Design, Advanced Experi-
mental Psychology, and History and Systems of Psychology. Psychology majors also

headings in this section. The grade of "C" or higher must be obtained in each
course offered by the division that is used to fulfill major and minor requirements.

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

Accounting

The essence of accounting is measurement and communication. The objective
is to provide information that is useful to decision-makers who must choose between
economic alternatives. Accordingly, the field focuses on information concerning eco-
nomic resources, claims to those resources, and the results of economic activity.
The purpose of the major in accounting is to acquaint the student with this infor-
mation 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 thereby produced in various reports and state-
ments 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

141

engineering, law and others. Accountants work in public accounting, business, gov-
ernment, and non-profit organizations.

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

143

one area of business. Courses in economics and the functional areas of business
administration introduce students to business institutions, terminology, and meth-
ods of inquiry. A required course in advanced writing provides practice in thinking
and communicating.

administration is valuable preparation for other careers. Students learn adminis-
trative skills and methods of inquiry that are applicable in governmental and non-
profit organizations. Since much legal practice involves businesses and a knowledge
of business terminology and institutions, this major is an excellent background for
the study and practice of law.

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 understand individual behavior and the social order that results from the inter-
action of many individual decision-makers. Finally, economics involves evaluation
of the resulting social order.

The three aspects of economic study are related to citizenship and careers.
First, the attempt to predict individual behavior results in the derivation 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. ICnowledge of how
markets function is helpful both to business people and voters who will make de-
cisions about such market-related economic matters as taxes, interest ceilings, min-
imum 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 plan-
ning careers in business, law, politics, government, or religion.

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.

Division VI

Education - Undergraduate and
Graduate

Undergraduate Programs in Education

Education provides courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts in elementary and
secondary education, with elementary concentrations in early childhood (K-4) and
middle grades education (4-8), and with secondary education (7-12) concentrations
in the subject areas of English, mathematics, history, and science (biology, physics,
or chemistry). The teacher-preparation curricula are fully approved by the Depart-
ment of Education of the State of Georgia; successful program completion is nec-
essary to obtain a teaching certificate. Students desiring certification in other states
should secure information from those states.

Admission to the Teacher Education Program

Completion of the Teacher Education Program requires the following steps:

1. Admission to the Teacher Education Program. Apply as a second-semester
sophomore or, for transfer students, as soon as possible after transferring.

2. Completion of a pre-teaching experience "September Experience." Apply
for placement by March 15 of the sophomore year.

3. Completion of Student Teaching. Apply for spring placement by October
15, fall placement by March 15.

4. Completion of the entire approved program as found on the following pages.
Professional courses should be completed according to the sequence listed
in the approved program; detailed programs may be obtained from the
education advisers.

Admission to Oglethorpe University does not admit a student to the Teacher
Education Program. A person doing satisfactory academic work and approved by
the Teacher Education Council is admitted. Once admitted, the student's progress
and record are subject to regular review by the adviser, other professors, and the
Teacher Education Council. Students with observed deficiencies in English or their
subject field will be required to correct them before student teaching. No student
on academic probation will be scheduled for student teaching until such probation
is removed.

Admission to the program may be granted during the second semester of the
sophomore year (or as early as possible thereafter) and requires a cumulative grade-
point average of 2.5 for all college work. Before placement for student teaching can
be approved the student must show evidence of good moral character and person-
ality, emotional stability and physical stamina, a desire to work with children and/
or youth, a grade of at least "C" in Analytical Writing and in all professional and
teaching field courses, satisfactory field experiences, and a cumulative grade-point
average of at least 2.5 or better on all work taken at Oglethorpe. The student's
record is subject to regular review from the time of admission to the program.

Completion of the approved program is one of two required steps toward
teacher certification in Georgia. Students also have to demonstrate competency in
the subject field by making a satisfactory score on a state administered Teacher
Certification Test. Forms needed to apply for the Georgia teaching certificate are
available in the office of the chair of the Division of Education.

Graduate Programs in Education

All graduate work is administered by the Education Division, which is governed
by the Teacher Education Council under the policies of the University. The Teacher
Education Council is the policy-making body chosen from the faculty and admin-
istration, under the leadership of the chair of the Education Division.

The purposes of the graduate program are to provide well-qualified students
with the opportunity to obtain a master's degree, and to provide members of the
teaching profession with the opportunity to enhance their competencies and knowl-
edge in the area of elementary education. Inherent in the guiding philosophy is the
assumption that graduate study includes more than the passing of prescribed
courses and the meeting of minimum requirements. All students who receive grad-
uate 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 pos-
sess reasonable knowledge of the techniques of research.

Oglethorpe University offers a program leading to the Master of Arts degree
in either early childhood education or middle grades education. Graduates are
eligible for T5 certification in Georgia. A minimum of 25 percent of the courses
used to meet degree requirements will contain a field-based component.

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

1. Full admission to the graduate program.

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

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

4. Completion of 36 semester hours approved credit. Application for gradua-
tion should be made in the Registrar's Office by mid-October prior to grad-
uation the following May or August.

Admission

Upon recommendation of the chair of the Teacher Education Council and
approval of the Teacher Education Council, a person holding a bachelor's degree
in an approved field of education from an accredited college or university may be
admitted to the graduate program. In addition to general requirements prescribed,
the applicant must submit transcripts of all previous work completed; satisfactory
scores on either the Graduate Record Examination (verbal and quantitative), the
National Teacher Examination (core battery), or the Miller Analogies Test; two
recommendations (form provided) from previous colleges attended and/or employ-
ers; and, when deemed necessary, take validating examinations or preparatory work.

159

Students who do not have a Georgia T4 certificate in either early or middle grades
must contact the Graduate Admissions Counselor regarding evaluation prior to
admission. Candidates not previously prepared for teaching must meet require-
ments for first professional certification before completing requirements for the
master's degree.

Application forms may be obtained from the Admissions Office of the Univer-
sity. Completed forms should be returned to the Admissions Office as soon as
possible but at least 20 days prior to the semester in which the applicant expects
to enroll. These forms should be accompanied by a $25 application fee (non-re-
fundable). All material (completed forms, fee transcripts, and test scores) should
be sent directly to the Admissions Office, Oglethorpe University, 4484 Peachtree
Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30319-2797.

If an applicant does not choose to enter the graduate program in the semester
indicated on the application, the applicant should notify the Admissions Office of
the change and indicate a new date of entrance, if applicable. Otherwise, the orig-
inal admission will be cancelled, the file discontinued, and a new application may
berequired for admission at a later date.

Admission to the graduate program does not imply ultimate acceptance as a
candidate for an advanced degree. For admission to candidacy, see the section
Admission to Candidacy.

Classification

Students may be admitted to the graduate program under any one of the
following classifications:

Regular. A student who has a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.5
on a 4.0 scale, satisfactory scores on the GRE, NTE, or MAT, and the recommen-
dation of the chair of the Education Division, and who has completed all prereq-
uisites required for admission may be admitted as a regular graduate student.

Graduate Applicant. Requirements for admission as a graduate applicant are
the same as for regular admission. A student would apply in this category if he or
she planned on pursuing a graduate degree but for some reason was unable to
complete the admission file before the start of the semester. Persons admitted as
graduate applicant students may be credited a maximum of 12 semester hours
toward the Master of Arts degree while awaiting full admission to the program.

A senior within six semester hours of completing requirements for the bach-
elor's degree may be permitted to enroll in courses for graduate credit provided
that: (I) the student has the permission of the chair of the Education Division; (2)
the student is otherwise qualified for admission to graduate study except for the
degree; and (3) the total load in a semester would not exceed 15 semester hours.
Under no circumstances may a course be used for both graduate and undergraduate
credit.

Unclassified (Non-degree seeking). The student must present transcripts
and verification of an undergraduate degree in education, including satisfactory
completion of student teaching. Students applying in this category would be renew-
ing a certificate or taking classes for personal enrichment. Up to six semester hours
of credit earned by a student in this category may be counted toward the degree

160

only if the student is admitted to the Graduate Education Program and the chair
of the Education Division approves.

Transient. A student in good standing in another recognized graduate school
who v^ishes to enroll in the graduate program of Oglethorpe University and who
plans to return thereafter to the former institution may be admitted as a transient
graduate student. In lieu of full transcripts and regular applications the student
must submit a transient student application form completed by the graduate dean
listing specific courses to be taken for credit. Any student admitted on this basis
should understand that registration terminates upon the completion of the work
authorized by the degree-granting institution. If later electing to seek a degree from
Oglethorpe University, the student must make formal application for admission
and may petition to have credit earned as a transient student applied toward the
degree at the University.

Admission to Candidacy

Application for admission to candidacy for the Master of Arts degree must be
filed with the chair of the Education Division after the student has 12 semester
hours of graduate study at Oglethorpe University. Admission to candidacy would
be given or refused following an examination of the overall work of the student and
careful review of the work completed at Oglethorpe. Notice of action taken on
application for admission to candidacy will be given in writing to the student and
to the student's adviser. The student seeking the Master of Arts degree must furnish
proof to the chair of the Education Division or to the Graduate Admission Counselor
of eligibility for first professional certification or include appropriate make-up work
in the program.

Residence. At least 30 semester hours of graduate work must be completed
on campus.

Time Limit. In any graduate program all work (including the comprehensive
examination) must be completed within a six-year period. It is expected that the
student will complete the program with reasonable continuity.

Transfer, Extension, Correspondence Credit. A maximum of six semester
hours of graduate credit may be transferred from another accredited institution

well as a date by which the work will be submitted, and the grade which will be
given if the student fails to complete that work. After the student has read and
signed the contract, it shall be filed with the Registrar as promptly as the circum-
stances permit.

W Official withdrawal may be permitted if the student's progress is inter-
rupted by illness or other emergencies.

dards a review by the Teacher Education Council will determine the stu-
dent's continuation in a graduate program.

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

Any student will be dismissed from the graduate program who receives a third
grade of "C" or less or who does not achieve a "B" average upon completion of
