Tradition, Purpose
and Goals

Tradition, Purpose and Goals

Oglethorpe derives its institutional purpose from an awareness and apprecia-
tion of the University's heritage and from an analysis of the needs of contemporary
society. The goals of the educational program and of other component parts of the
University are based on this sense of institutional purpose.

The Oglethorpe Tradition

Three main ideas or models of what higher education ought to be 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 universi-
ties, 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 byjohns 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 indus-
try. It has contributed especially to education in such fields as engineering and
agriculture and has been the foundation on which many of the state universities
have been built.

Oglethorpe University identifies itself with the tradition of the English
college. Established in 1835 and named after General James Edward Oglethorpe,
the founder of Georgia, the University was patterned on Corpus Christi College,
Oxford, General Oglethorpe's 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
obsolete. Rather, the most important function of the teacher is to

stimulate intellectual activity in the student and to promote his or her
development as a mature person. Factory-like instruction, conducted in
huge classes, is the very antithesis of the English tradition.
4. A collegiate education is far more than a collection of academic courses.
It is a process of development in which campus leadership opportunities,
residential life, athletics, formal and informal social functions, aesthetic
experiences, and contact with students from other cultures, in addition
to classroom exercises, all play important roles. Versatility and ability to
lead are important goals of this type of undergraduate education.
Two other aspects of Oglethorpe's tradition were contributed by Philip
Weltner, President of the University from 1944 to 1953. Oglethorpe, he said,
should be a "small college which is superlatively good. " Only at a small college with
carefully selected students and faculty, he believed, could young persons achieve
their fullest intellectual development through an intense dialogue with extraor-
dinary teachers. Thus, a commitment to limited size and superior performance
are important elements of the Oglethorpe tradition.

Purpose: Education for a Changing Society

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

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

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

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

Goals

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

1. The ability to comprehend English prose at an advanced level.

2. The ability to convey ideas in writing and in speech accurately, gram-
matically, and persuasively.

3. Skill in reasoning logically about important matters.

4. An understanding of the values and principles that have shaped Western
civilization and of the methods employed in historical inquiry.

5. A knowledge and appreciation of great literature, especially the great
literature of the English-speaking world.

6. An appreciation of one or more of the arts and an understanding of
artistic

excellence.

7. An acquaintance with the methods of inquiry of mathematics and science
and with the results of the efforts of scientists to understand the physical
and biological phenomena.

8. An understanding of the most thoughtful reflections on right and wrong
and an allegiance to principles of right conduct.

9. A basic understanding of our economic, political, and social systems and
of the psychological and sociological influences on human 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'
experiences 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 discus-
sion 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.

ter 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
significant questions. What students have at the completion of the Oglethorpe
core program 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.

All undergraduate programs also require the student to develop a deeper
grasp of one or more fields of knowledge organized coherently as a major. The
student's major may be pursued in a single field, such as biology, economics, or
English, or it may cut across two or more traditional fields (as an interdisciplinary
or individually planned major).

The curriculum and extracurricular life are structured to engender in
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 on 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 fields of study.

2. Expertise in appropriate research techniques.

3. The capacity for sustained study and independent thought.

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

Non-credit courses are also offered in the continuing education program in
order to provide service to as broad a segment of the community as possible.
Courses focused on the goals of personal enrichment and professional develop-
ment are offered during evening hours. Career advancement goals may be
pursued in the non-credit curriculum through a certificate program in manage-
ment.

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

History

Old Oglethorpe University began in the early 1800s with a movement by
Georgia Presbyterians to establish in their state an institution for the training of
ministers. For generations, southern Presbyterian families had sent their sons to
Princeton College in New Jersey, and the long distance traveled by stage or
horseback suggested the building of a similar institution in the South.

Oglethorpe University was chartered by the state of Georgia in 1835, shortly
after the centennial observance of the state. The college was named after James
Edward Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia. Oglethorpe University, which
commenced actual operations in 1838, was thus one of the earliest denomina-
tional institutions in the South located below the Virginia line. The antebellum
college, which began with four faculty members and about 25 students, was
located at Midway, a small community near Milledgeville, then the capital of
Georgia.

Throughout its antebellum existence the Oglethorpe curriculum consisted
primarily of courses in Greek, Latin, classical literature, theology, and a surprising
variety of natural science. Oglethorpe's president during much of this period was
Samuel Kennedy Talmage, an eminent minister and educator. Other notable
Oglethorpe faculty members were Nathaniel M. Crawford, professor of math-
ematics and a son of Georgia statesman William H. Crawford; Joseph LeConte,
destined to earn world fame for his work in geology and optics; and James
Woodrow, an uncle of Woodrow Wilson and the first professor in Georgia to hold
the Ph.D. degree. Oglethorpe's most distinguished alumnus from the antebellum
era was the poet, critic, and musician Sidney Lanier, who graduated in 1860.
Lanier remained as tutor in 1861 until he, with other Oglethorpe cadets, marched
away to war. Shortly before his death, Lanier remarked to a friend that his greatest
intellectual impulse was during his college days at Oglethorpe University.

Old Oglethorpe in effect "died at Gettysburg." During the Civil War its
students were soldiers, its endowment was lost in confederate bonds, and its
buildings were used for barracks and hospitals. The school closed in 1862 and
afterward conducted classes irregularly at the Midway location. In 1870 the
institution was briefly relocated in Georgia's postbellum capital of Atlanta, at the
site of the present City Hall. Oglethorpe at this time produced several educational
innovations, expanding its curriculum to business and law courses and offering
the first evening college classes in Georgia. The dislocation of the Reconstruction
era proved insurmountable, however, and in 1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors for
a second time.

Oglethorpe University was rechartered in 1913, and in 1915 the cornerstone
to the new campus was laid at its present location on Peachtree Road in north
Atlanta. Present to witness the occasion were members of the classes of 1860 and
1861, thus linking the old and the new Oglethorpe University. The driving force
behind the University's revival was Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, whose grandfather,
Professor Ferdinand Jacobs, had served on the faculty of Old Oglethorpe.
Thornwell Jacobs, who became the Oglethorpe president for nearly three de-
cades, intended for the new campus to be a "living memorial" tojames Oglethorpe.
The distinctive Gothic revival architecture of the campus was inspired by the
honorary alma mater of James Oglethorpe, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. The
collegiate coat-of-arms, emblazoned with three boar's heads and the inscription

Nescit Cedere ("He does not know how to give up"), replicated the Oglethorpe
family standard. For the college athletic teams, Jacobs chose an unusual mascot -
a small, persistent seabird which, according to legend, had inspired James
Oglethorpe while on board ship to Georgia in 1732. The Oglethorpe University
nickname "Stormy Petrels" is unique in intercollegiate athletics.

Although Presbyterian congregations throughout the South contributed to
the revival of Oglethorpe University, the school never re-established a denomina-
tional affiliation. Since the early 1920s Oglethorpe has been an independent
nonsectarian co-educational higher educational institution. Its curricular empha-
sis continued in the liberal arts and sciences and expanded into professional
programs in business administration and education. From the 1920s through the
1940s, the institution received major contributions from several individuals. Some
of the most prominent benefactors were: John Thomas Lupton, Coca-Cola bottler
from Chattanooga; Atlanta business community members Harry Hermance and
Mrs. Robert J. Lowry; and publisher William Randolph Hearst. The latter gave to
Oglethorpe a sizable donation of land. In the early 1930s the Oglethorpe campus
covered approximately 600 acres, including 30-acre Silver Lake, which was
renamed Lake Phoebe after the publisher's mother, Phoebe Apperson Hearst.

During Thornwelljacobs' tenure he launched several projects which brought
national and even international repute to Oglethorpe University. In 1923 Jacobs
discovered the tomb of James and Elizabeth Oglethorpe in Cranham, England.
For about a decade Oglethorpe University was involved in major college athletics,
and the Stormy Petrels fielded football teams that defeated both Georgia Tech
and the University of Georgia. Perhaps Oglethorpe's most famous athlete was
Luke Appling, enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Dr. Jacobs in the 1930s
became, however, one of the earliest and most articulate critics of misplaced
priorities in intercollegiate athletics, and Oglethorpe curtailed development in
this area. In the early 1930s Oglethorpe attracted widespread attention with its
campus radio station, WJTL, named after benefactor John Thomas Lupton.
Oglethorpe's University of the Air was a notable experiment, which lasted about
five years, that broadcast college credit courses on the air waves. Oglethorpe
University was one of the first institutions to confer honorary doctorates on
national figures in order to recognize superior civic and scientific achievement.
Among Oglethorpe's early honorary alumni were Woodrow Wilson, Walter
Lippman, Franklin Roosevelt, Bernard Baruch, Amelia Earhart, and David Sarnoff.

Perhaps the best known of all ofjacobs' innovations was the Oglethorpe Crypt
of Civilization, which he proposed in the November 1936 issue of Scientific
American. This prototype for the modern time capsule was an effort to provide, for
posterity, an encyclopedic inventory of life and customs from ancient times
through the middle of the 20th century. The Crypt, sealed in the foundation of
Phoebe Hearst Hall in 1940, is not to be opened until 81 13 A.D. It has been hailed
by the Guiness Book of World Records as "the first successful attempt to bury a record
for future inhabitants or visitors to the planet earth."

In 1944 Oglethorpe University began a new era under Philip Weltner, a noted
attorney and educator. With a group of faculty associates, Dr. Weltner initiated an
exciting approach to undergraduate education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." It
involved one of the earliest efforts to develop a core curriculum, with the twin aims
to make a life and to make a living. The Oglethorpe core, which was applauded
by the New York Times, aimed at a common learning experience for students with

about one-half of every student's academic program consisting of courses in
"Citizenship" and "Human Understanding." After World War II, Oglethorpe
University emphasized characteristics it had always cultivated, notably close
personal relationships, in order to be, in Dr. Weltner's words, "a small college
superlatively good." Oglethorpe continued toward its goals and in the late 1960s
began a building expansion program which created a new part of the campus,
including a modern student center and residential complex.

By the 1 980s the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching had
classified Oglethorpe in the category of Liberal Arts I (now referred to as
Baccalaureate [Liberal Arts] Colleges I). These highly selective undergraduate
institutions award more than half of their degrees in the arts and sciences. By the
1990s the University was listed in the Fiske Guide to Colleges, The Princeton Review
Student Access Guide, Barron 's 300 Best Buys in College Education, National Review
College Guide America 's Top Liberal Arts Schools and many other guides to selective
colleges.

The student body, while primarily from the South, has become increasingly
cosmopolitan; in a typical semester, Oglethorpe draws students from about 30
states and 30 foreign countries. The University has established outreach through
its non-credit Learn and Live courses; evening-weekend degree programs; teacher
certification and a graduate program in education; and the Oglethorpe University
Museum. The University is also home to the Georgia Shakespeare Festival.

As Oglethorpe University faces the 21st century, it has demonstrated contin-
ued leadership in the development and revision of its core curriculum, with efforts
funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The historic district of
the 100-acre campus has been designated in the National Register of Historic
Places. Enrollment is about 1,200 with the plans for controlled growth to about
1,500. Oglethorpe remains on the forefront of educational innovation, with a
curriculum that features interactive learning. The University uses a variety of
effective pedagogical techniques, perhaps most notably a peer tutoring program.
Reflecting the contemporary growth of the city of Atlanta, Oglethorpe has
recently developed a distinctive international dimension. Students at the Univer-
sity may complement their campus programs with foreign studies at sister
institutions in Argentina, France, the Netherlands, and Japan. As Oglethorpe
University continues to grow, academically and materially, it is ever mindful of its
distinguished heritage and will still remain, in the affectionate words of poet and
alumnus Sidney Lanier, a "college of the heart."

Campus Facilities

Oglethorpe University's facilities are generally accessible to physically im-
paired 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 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, corri-
dors, 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 100,000 volumes includes books, periodicals, and
microforms, as well as audio-visual and machine-readable materials. More than
760 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 University Museum, located on the third floor of the Philip
Weltner Library, opened in the spring of 1993 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 in the Museum.

For Museum hours and exhibit information, call (404) 364-8555.

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
swimming pool is adjacent to the building.

Lupton Hall

Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor ofjohn 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,
Development, 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 architec-
ture 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
building 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. Lecture halls and laboratories for biology, chemistry, and physics
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.
In 1993, a grant from AT&T provided a networked computer laboratory for
science and mathematics instruction.

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.

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. One wing of the building
currently serves as a residence hall for women. The second wing contains the
University's Academic Resource Center, classrooms, and a computer training
center for Continuing Education.

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 renovation in 1979. The building is named for the late R. E. Dorough, a
former Trustee of the University. An extension housing a basketball/volleyball
court, office space, a running track, a weight room, two handball courts, and two
locker rooms is scheduled for completion in the fall of 1994.

Athletic Facilities

Intercollegiate soccer is 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 LayKold track. There is an outdoor volleyball court (sand) behind the
upper residence hall complex. 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
providing the results of the College Entrance Examination Board's Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) or the results of the American College Testing Program
Assessment (ACT).

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

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

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

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 N.E., Atlanta, Georgia
30319-2797. 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
Admissions and the Admissions Committee will review the application. If accepted,

the student will be required to submit an enrollment deposit to reserve
accommodations for the appropriate session. Residence hall students submit a
deposit of $200, commuters $100. While the deposit is not refundable, it is
applicable toward tuition and fees.

Early Decision

This program allows students for whom Oglethorpe is their first choice to be
considered on a priority basis. Completed applications with supporting materials
are due on or before December 1. Candidates will be required to certify that they
are not applying to any other colleges under an Early Decision plan. Notification
of admission by Oglethorpe will be made on or about December 10. Early Decision
candidates applying for scholarship or financial aid assistance must file the
appropriate forms by January 14.

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

Regular Decision

Candidates for Regular Decision may submit their applications at any time,
although the University will accept applicants after March 1 only on a "space-
available" basis. To be considered, freshman applicants should submit a completed
application form, high school transcripts, standardized test scores, and
recommendation (s). Achievement tests, essays, portfolios, or videos are not
required for admission purposes but will be considered if submitted. Interviews
and campus visits 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 will be
mailed on or about February 1, and afterwards on a rolling basis.

Campus Visit

While not a requirement of the admissions process, the candidate is urged to
visit the campus and explore the academic and leadership opportunities that
encompass the Oglethorpe tradition of a collegiate education.

Additional information may be obtained by contacting the Admissions
Office, (404) 364-8307 in the Atlanta calling area or (800) 428-4484 from other

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
students.

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.
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 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) to
be eligible for admission.

Transfer students who have earned an associate degree at a regionally
accredited 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
institution are awarded credit for their arts and sciences courses. To earn a
bachelor's degree, the student must complete the core curriculum, a major, and
other applicable requirements.

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 (see Residency Requirement).

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

Courses taken at schools accredited by national crediting bodies (e.g.,
Association 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
Examination Program (CLEP tests). Maximum credit for Advanced Placement
tests (AP testing) is also 30 semester hours. Please consult the section, Credit by
Examination, 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.

in writing submitted with the application. A strong recommendation from the
high school is expected, and the candidate must come to campus for a personal
interview with a senior admissions officer.

Transient Students

Transient students may take any course offered by the University, provided
that they secure permission from their current institution certifying that the
institution will accept for transfer credit the academic work done by the student

A letter of good standing or a current transcript must be sent to the
Admissions Office before a transient student can be accepted.

Post-baccalaureate Students

Post-baccalaureate students must submit a post-baccalaureate/transient ap-
plication and acceptable letters of reference; former Oglethorpe students may

completion of 15 semester hours at Oglethorpe, a post-baccalaureate student who
wishes to work toward a degree must change to degree-seeking status and be
reviewed for admission by the Director of Admissions.

Credit by Examination

There are three testing programs through which students may earn credit for
required or elective courses. Any student who has questions about these examina-
tions should consult 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
Registrar 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
examination taken after the student completes his or her first semester at
Oglethorpe University. A maximum of three semester hours will be awarded for
each examination. A maximum of 30 semester hours may be earned with accept-
able CLEP scores.

All students are required to take placement examinations in mathematics and
foreign languages (if they plan to take a course in these areas or subjects) and are
placed accordingly.

Advanced Placement Program

The University encourages students who have completed Advanced Place-
ment examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board to submit their
scores prior to enrollment for evaluation for college credit. The general policy of
Oglethorpe toward such scores is the following: Academic credit will be given in
the appropriate area to students presenting Advanced 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 mathematics and
foreign languages (if they plan to take a course in these areas or subjects) and are
placed accordingly.

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 levels. The University's
financial aid professionals will then have the information necessary to discuss all
options available to parents and students. The Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) is the approved needs-analysis form by which students may
apply for all need-based programs (Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work-Study) and at the same time apply
for the Federal Pell Grant, the Federal Stafford Loan, the Oglethorpe Need-based
Grant, as well as the Georgia Incentive Grant, if a resident of Georgia. After filing
the FAFSA, the student will receive from the processor a Student Aid Report for
the Federal 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
cumulative academic grade-point average, and a superior record of leadership in
extracurricular activities either in school or in the community. Applications must
be received by mid-December.

Oglethorpe Scholars Awards (OSA) Scholarships (including Presidential
Scholarships, Oxford Scholarships, University Scholarships, Alumni Scholar-
ships, Lanier Scholarships, and Yamacraw Scholarships) based on achievement
are available to students with superior academic ability. A fundamental aim of
Oglethorpe University is to prepare students for leadership roles in society. One
way of promoting this purpose is to give special recognition to students who
demonstrate superior academic abilities as undergraduates. Scholarships range
from $2,000 to $9,000.

Recipients of funds from this program are expected to maintain specified
levels of academic achievement and make a significant 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 Christian Scholarships are awarded to freshmen who are resi-
dents of Georgia and who demonstrate active participation in their churches.
Academic qualifications for consideration include SAT scores of 1100 or higher
and a senior class rank in the upper 25 percent. Awards range up to $1,500 per
academic year. Recipients are required to maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade-point
average and engage in a service project during the academic year.

Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP) 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 of pursuing their higher education goals in a private Georgia college or
university but find the financial cost prohibitive due primarily to high tuition of
these educational institutions in comparison to public schools which are branches
of the University System of Georgia. " All students must complete a yearly applica-
tion and verify their eligibility for the grant. In the 1993-94 school year, this grant
was $1000 per academic year. Financial need is not a factor in determining
eligibility. A separate application is required.

HOPE Grants are available for full-time freshman and sophomore students
who are legal residents of Georgia. The Georgia General Assembly enacted the
Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) in order to assist students
attending Georgia institutions of higher learning. Students must complete a
Georgia Student Grant application for consideration.

Student Incentive Grant (SIG), 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 educa-
tion. Application requires the student to complete an approved needs-analysis
form and to send the information to Oglethorpe and the Georgia Student Finance
Authority.

Federal Pell Grant is a federal aid program intended to be the floor in
financial assistance. Eligibility is based upon a family's financial resources and a
rationing formula published by the government. This aid is administered in the
form of non-repayable grants.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG ) are awarded
to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. Priority is given to
Federal Pell Grant recipients and does not require repayment.

Oglethorpe Need-based Grants are available to full-time day undergraduate
students who demonstrate financial need by completing the FAFSA. Oglethorpe
Need-based Grants in conjunction with federal, state, or scholarship assistance
cannot exceed the student's financial need.

Federal Perkins Loans are long-term, low-cost educational loans to students
who have demonstrated need for such assistance. For undergraduate students
priority is given to Federal Pell Grant recipients. Interest is charged at a five
percent annual rate beginning nine months after the borrower ceases to be at least
a half-time student (a minimum course load of six semester hours). Information
regarding repayment terms, deferment and cancellation options are available in
the Office of Financial Aid.

Federal Stafford (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) Loans are long-term loans
available through banks, credit unions, and other lending institutions. Students
must submit the FAFSA and be attending as at least a half-time student to receive
consideration. A separate loan application is also required. Information regard-
ing repayment terms, deferment and cancellation options are available in the
Office of Financial Aid.

Federal PLUS Loans 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 Scholar-
ships. Applications from undergraduate students who are married will not be
considered.

Oglethorpe assistance to attend other institutions.

appeal, such as medical statements, should also be presented. The appeal

The Steve Najjar Student Loan Fund provides short-term loans and financial
assistance to deserving Oglethorpe students. The fund was established in memory
of Mr. Najjar, who, with his aunt "Miss Sadie" Mansour, operated the Five Paces
Inn, a family business in the Buckhead section of Atlanta. The Five Paces Inn was
a popular establishment for Oglethorpe students for many years. A number of
Oglethorpe alumni, especially students in the late 50s and early 60s, established
this fund in Mr. Najjar's memory.

Tuition and Costs

Fees and Costs

The fees, costs, and dates listed below are for 1994-95. Financial information
for 1995-96 will be available in early 1995.

The tuition charged by Oglethorpe University represents only 60 percent of
the actual expense of educating each student, the balance coming from endow-
ment income, gifts, and other sources. Thus, every Oglethorpe undergraduate is
the beneficiary 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 $6,450 per semester. Room and board is $2,250 per semester.
Students who desire single rooms are assessed $2,730 for room and board.

The tuition of $6,450 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 $200 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
registration. Students receiving financial aid are required to pay the difference
between the amount of their aid and the amount due by the deadline. Students
and parents desiring information about various payment options should request
the pamphlet "Payment Plans." New students who require on-campus housing for
the fall semester 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 participating in intramural football or basketball are required to have
this medical coverage or its equivalent. (Insurance rates are for 1994-95. They are
subject to change for 1995-96.)

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
Univesity 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 $70.

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

Schedule and for 1995-96 fees.

Part-Time Fees - 1994-95

Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the fall or spring semesters
will be charged $1,620 per three semester hour course. This rate is applicable to
those students taking 1 1 semester hours or less. Students taking 12 to 16 hours are
classified full-time. Please inquire with the Business Office for a complete Fee
Schedule.

Students enrolled in evening classes during the fall or spring semesters will
be charged $690 per three semester hour course. Students enrolled in summer
programs are charged $225 (Summer 1994 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
adding courses must do so by obtaining a Drop/Add form from the Registrar's
Office. This form must be completed and returned to the Registrar's Office
during the Drop/Add week.

After the Drop/Add period, the professor must approve the change in
schedule. The professor may issue one of the following grades: Withdrew Passing
(W), Withdrew Failing (WF), or may refuse to approve the withdrawal. In order
to receive a refund, the student must officially drop the class by the end of the 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.

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
Administration and other federal agencies as these agencies must be notified
when a student misses six consecutive classes. This will result in an automatic
decrease in payments to the student. Reinstatement in a course is at the discretion
of the instructor.

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

Refunds

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

Since the premium for insurance coverage is not retained by the University,
it will not be refunded after registration day. Since room and board services are
consumed on a daily basis, during the period when tuition is to be refunded on
a 100 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 programs must be cleared through the Registrar, and
arrangement with a professor will not be recognized as an official change of
schedule.

All tuition refund requests will be processed each semester at the conclusion
of the fourth week of classes. Payment will take a minimum of two weeks, but will
be no longer than 40 days. Damage deposit refunds will be processed once a year
at the end of the spring semester.

Refund Schedule

In the schedule below, "class day" means any day during which the University
conducts classes.

Changes in schedule by the end of the 7th class day 100%

Changes in schedule by the end of the 10th class day 75%

Changes in schedule by the end of the 16th class day 50%

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

In order to administer the refund policy equitably, there will be no excep-
tions.

Financial Obligations

A student who has not met all financial obligations to the University will not
be allowed to register for courses in subsequent academic sessions; he or she will
not be allowed to receive a degree from the University; and requests for transcripts
will not be honored.

Community
Life

Leadership Development

Oglethorpe University seeks to prepare its students for roles of leadership in
society. Specific educational experiences are planned to help the student acquire
the skills of leadership.

Education for leadership must be based on the essential academic competen-
cies reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning. Though widely neglected today
at all levels of education, these are the prerequisites for effective leadership. They
are the marks of an educated person. Oglethorpe insists that its students achieve
advanced proficiency in these skills. In addition, students are offered specific
preparation in the arts of leadership. Such arts include an appreciation of
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

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
experiences. Information is disseminated which acquaints the student with the
academic program and the extracurricular life of the campus community. Thor-
ough understanding of the advising system, the registration process, library use,
class offerings, and study demands is sought. Alternatives for self expression
outside the classroom also are presented to the new student.

To supplement the student's orientation experience, the course Fresh Focus
is required during the student's first semester. For a description of Fresh Focus,
please see the Interdisciplinary Programs and Majors section of this Bulletin.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

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

As members of the Oglethorpe community, students have the responsibility
to maintain high standards of conduct. They should respect the privacy and
feelings of others and the property of both students and the University. Students
are expected to display behavior which is not disruptive of campus life or the
surrounding 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
the tolerance of, and an appreciation for, human diversity, and on an appropriate
decorum for members of the campus community. Harassing behavior can seri-
ously interfere with the work or study performance of the individual to whom it
is addressed. It is indefensible when it makes the work, study, or living environ-
ment hostile, intimidating, injurious, or demeaning.

It is the policy of the University that students and employees be able to work,
study, participate in activities, and live in a campus community free of unwar-
ranted harassment in the form of oral, written, graphic, or physical conduct which
personally frightens, intimidates, injures, or demeans another individual. Dis-
criminatory harassment directed against an individual or group that is based on
race, gender, religious belief, color, sexual orientation, national origin, handicap,
or age is prohibited. Discriminatory harassment is defined as speech, depictions,
or conduct which: (1) is addressed directly to, or made in the presence of, the
individual or individuals whom it insults or stigmatizes; and, (2) the speaker
knows, or reasonably should know, would constitute "fighting words." "Fighting
words" are words, pictures, or other symbols that are commonly understood to
convey direct and visceral hatred or contempt for other human beings; they are
commonly understood to elicit or precede violence.

In addition, sexual harassment of a student by another student, of a student
by an employee, of an employee by a student, or of an employee by another
employee will not be tolerated and is prohibited. 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 imposed by a faculty member for
evaluation or grading a student, or by an employee for evaluatingjob performance
or advancement of a subordinate or colleague, will be viewed as misconduct.

Complaints alleging 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 (Mr. Donald R. Moore, Emerson Student
Center, telephone 364-8335), the Provost (Dr. Anthony Caprio, Lupton Hall,
telephone 364-8317), the Associate Dean for Administration (Mrs. Linda W.
Bucki, Lupton Hall, telephone 364-8325), or the Psychologist (Dr. Betsy Ryland,
Faith Hall, telephone 364-8413). In determining whether an act constitutes
harassment, a careful review must be made of the totality of the circumstances that
pertain to any given incident. Among the factors which will be considered are:
intent of the behavior (words or actions with the intent to injure are prohibited,
but words or actions as part of an exchange of ideas, ideology, or philosophy will
be protected); location of the behavior (different concerns exist with respect to
spaces used for public forums, classrooms, or other settings) ; the degree to which
the behavior when judged by the "reasonable person" standard would be consid-
ered to be hostile, intimidating, injurious, or demeaning; and any repetition or
pattern of objectionable behavior. 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 established discipline procedures of the University.

Student organizations in violation of this policy may be subject to the loss of
University recognition. Complainants shall be protected from unfair retribution.
Nothing in this policy statement is intended to infringe on the individual
rights, freedom of speech, or academic freedom provided to members of the
Oglethorpe community. The scholarly, educational, or artistic content of any
written or oral presentation or inquiry shall not be limited by this policy.
Accordingly, this provision will be liberally construed but should not be used as a
pretext for violation of the policy.

The Oglethorpe Student Association

The Oglethorpe Student Association is the guiding body for student life 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. Through its Programming Board the O.S.A.
administers a student activity fee which is assessed to all full-time day students.
Additional information can be obtained from the O.S.A. Office or the Student
Center Office located on the upper level of the Emerson Student Center. The
address is Oglethorpe Student Association, 3000 Woodrow Way, N.E., Atlanta, GA
30319-2797.

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 with their interests and goals.

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

Fraternities and Sororities

Four fraternities and two sororities contribute to the Greek system at
Oglethorpe.

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

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

Athletics and Physical Fitness

At Oglethorpe University the students who participate in intercollegiate
athletic competition are considered to be students first and athletes second. The
University is an active member of 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. Oglethorpe 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, golf, and track and field for men; and in soccer,
basketball, volleyball, cross-country, tennis, and track and field for women. The
Stormy Petrels compete against other SCAC schools, including Trinity University,
Millsaps College, Rhodes College, University of the South, Southwestern Univer-
sity, Hendrix College, and Centre College. The Petrels also challenge teams from
schools outside the SCAC, such as Emory University and Washington and Lee
University.

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
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.

The following two physical fitness courses are offered for credit.

1001. 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 personal 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.

1002. Fitness Through Lifetime Sports 1 hour

A course designed to provide instruction in the skills, knowledge, and
understanding of various sports, or of a particular sport, that can be enjoyed
throughout a person's lifetime. Acquainting students with the history, rules, and
techniques, and offering individual instruction in these sports will help the
student maintain fitness through wholesome recreation. Prerequisite: 1001.

Cultural Opportunities on Campus

There are numerous cultural opportunities for students outside the class-
room. The University Program Committee sponsors concerts, theatrical
productions, poetry readings, and lectures by visiting scholars. The Mack A.
Rikard lectures expose students to leaders in business and other professions. 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, sponsors 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 showcase for campus talent. The former presents
student literary, musical, and visual arts. The latter features international cuisine
and entertainment. The Georgia Shakespeare Festival which takes place on
campus during the summer, is also a valuable cultural asset to the Oglethorpe
community.

Internships and Cooperative Education

Experiential off-campus on-the-job learning is a major component of the
educational process at Oglethorpe. Beginning in the sophomore year, students

can opt to further refine their career plans through cooperative education and
internships. These programs provide practical experience to complement the
academic program, as well as give students the opportunity to test the reality of
their career decisions and gain work experience in their major fields of interest.

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

Students who are interested in an internship or cooperative education
experience should first consult with their faculty advisers and then visit the Office
of Career Services 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 state-
ment of academic objectives and requirements developed in consultation with the
student's faculty adviser and/or faculty internship supervisor. Upon successful
completion of the internship, the student is awarded academic credit in recogni-
tion 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 Services.

Internships have been available in a large variety of local businesses and
organizations 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
serve as interns in the Washington, D.C. area. These organizations are The
Washington Center and The Washington Semester Program of American Univer-
sity.

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
graduation. Students usually begin the co-op experience in their junior years.
Opportunities are available with several major employers in the Atlanta area.

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

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,
interpersonal relationships, and physical and mental health. Though academic
advising is the responsibility of individually assigned faculty advisers, students
encountering unusual difficulties may wish to consult the Counseling Center
regarding possible contributing factors.

Career Services

The Career Services Office provides resources to assist students in making
responsible decisions and strategies regarding career options and job search
plans. These resources include a Career Library with information available from
books and video tapes on occupations, the job search, and prospective employers.
SIGI PLUS, a computer-assisted career guidance program, is available by appoint-
ment to explore options that match individual career interests. Workshops on
resume writing, interviewing and job search techniques are presented each
semester to prepare students for the workplace.

In addition, a number of prospective employers and graduate schools send
recruiters to the campus each year for the purpose of conducting on-campus
interviews. Current information on permanent, summer, and part-time job
opportunities is made available to students and alumni.

Opportunities in Atlanta

Oglethorpe is located eight miles from downtown Atlanta and just two miles
from the city's largest shopping center. A nearby rapid transit station makes
transportation quick and efficient. This proximity to the 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. Down-
town Atlanta offers professional baseball, football, basketball, and ice hockey to
sports fans as well as frequent popular concerts. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
performs from September through May in the Memorial Arts Center. The Atlanta
Ballet Company's season is October through May. The Alliance Theatre Company
and many smaller companies present productions of contemporary and classical
plays. The High Museum of Art hosts major traveling exhibitions in addition to its
permanent collection. Student discounts are often available.

Housing and Meals

The residence halls are available to all full-time day students. There are three
men's residence halls, one co-ed hall, 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 a
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.

In addition to the residence halls there are six Greek cottages which house
some members of the four fraternities and two sororities.

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.

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 student-
patient will be referred to medical specialists and hospitals in the area with which
the health service maintains a working relationship.

When it is determined that a student's physical or emotional health is
detrimental to his 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 International 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 international
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 International
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 University, as well as University regulations. This handbook outlines the
policies for recognition, membership eligibility, and leadership positions for
campus student organizations and publications.

Academic Regulations
and Policies

Academic Advising

Each student consults with a member of the faculty in preparing course
schedules, discussing post-graduation plans, and inquiring about any other
academic matter. A student's adviser is assigned before 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 the 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.

Registration

New students select courses in consultation with faculty advisers to whom they
are assigned before 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 preregistration. Full-time students wishing to participate in the University
Center in Georgia Cross Registration program (see Cross Registration below) also
should select courses during the preregistration week of the fall and spring
semesters. Summer schedules also can be planned during preregistration week in
the spring semester.

The official registration period precedes the first day of classes. Every student
must complete the various steps of the registration process during this period.
Those who have preregistered 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.

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, full-time Oglethorpe students may enroll on a
space-available basis in courses at any other member institution. The student need
not be admitted to the other institution and completes all procedures, including
payment of tuition, at Oglethorpe. Because of institutional deadlines, students
should complete forms for cross registration during Oglethorpe's designated
preregistration week.

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.

Class 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 attendance policies in their course syllabi.

Grading

Faculty members submit mid-semester reports to the Registrar's Office on
class rolls indicating satisfactory or unsatisfactory ("S" or "U"). These mid-
semester reports are not part of the student's permanent record.

Letter grades are submitted by faculty members 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.

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:

tor deems appropriate, the grade "I" may be assigned. In such
cases, the instructor and student shall draw up a contract
indicating specifically 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 Registrar at the time the class roll is
submitted.

Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Option

After 30 semester hours are earned at Oglethorpe a student in good academic
standing may register to take two courses (in addition to internships and Science
Seminar) 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
student's major or minor. The student must register for the Satisfactory/Unsatis-
factory designation by the end of the Drop/Add period after which the Satisfactory/
Unsatisfactory designation cannot be changed. Satisfactory is defined as a "C-" or
better.

Final Examinations

Final examinations, up to three hours in length, are given in all courses at the
end of each semester or session. The Final Examination Schedule is made up in
the Registrar's Office and is published in the current semester course schedule.

No examinations other than laboratory examinations may be administered
during the last scheduled class meeting of the semester's final week of classes,
except by special permission of the Provost.

No student help is to be used for typing or grading examinations.

Auditing Courses

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

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

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

Academic Resource Center

The Academic Resource Center in Goodman Hall provides group and
individual tutoring and other academic activities for all students, free of charge.
The ARC services include helping students to prepare for papers and examina-
tions, as well as arranging enriching group study and research for students who are
already doing well in core and other courses. The student tutors work closely with
the faculty teaching the classes in which they are tutoring, meeting regularly to
plan and provide individual and small-group help for students who need it, and
to increase interactive and collaborative educational experiences both in and
outside Oglethorpe's classrooms.

Dean's List

Students who earn a semester grade-point average of 3.5 or higher carrying
-12 semester hours or more during the fall or spring semester are placed on the
Dean's Academic Honors List.

Mathematics Proficiency Requirement

Oglethorpe offers three courses below the level of calculus (the high school
equivalent is indicated in parentheses): (1) Intermediate Algebra (Algebra I), (2)
College Algebra (Algebra II), and (3) Analytic Geometry (Algebra and Trigonom-
etry III).

The Mathematics Proficiency Requirement at Oglethorpe is met in one of two
ways: (1) by performing satisfactorily on the mathematics proficiency examina-
tion administered to entering students during fall and spring orientation or
Springfest, or (2) by completing the course Analytic Geometry. (Entering stu-
dents who have taken a calculus course in high school are deemed to have satisfied
the Mathematics Proficiency Requirement and do not need to take the profi-
ciency examination.)

Graduation Requirements

To earn a baccalaureate degree from the University the following require-
ments must be met:

1. Completion of a minimum 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
Center 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
requirements (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
payment of a graduation fee.

6. Participation in assessments of competencies gained and curricular
effectiveness by completing standardized or other tests and surveys.

7. Receipt of formal faculty approval for graduation.

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 VI section of this
Bulletin for a description of degree requirements and other academic regulations
which pertain to the graduate program.

Good Standing, Probation and
Academic Dismissal

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

Cumulative GPA Required
Semester Hours Completed for Good Standing

0-35 1.50

36-65 1.75

66 and above 2.00

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

New students, freshmen, or transfer students who fail all courses during their
first semester at Oglethorpe are 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.

Major Programs

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

A major is an orderly sequence of courses in (1) a particular discipline, (2) a
combination of two disciplines, or (3) a defined interdisciplinary field. A major
must include a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 62 semester hours of required
course work, exclusive of all hours used to satisfy core requirements. 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 require-
ments in this Bulletin. ) 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. Alterna-
tively, 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 require-
ments. The student is responsible for ensuring the fulfillment of the requirements
of the major selected. Specific requirements for each of the majors listed above are
indicated in the respective division of the Bulletin in which the course offerings of
the discipline are described or in the Interdisciplinary Programs and Majors
section of the Bulletin. Please note that no course may be used to meet more than
one degree requirement.

Minor Programs

Minor programs are available in several fields. Students should consult the
section of the Bulletin in which a particular discipline is described to ascertain
whether a minor is offered and what its specific requirements are.

A minor consists of at least 15 semester hours of course work beyond any core
requirements in that discipline. 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.
Minors may be earned in the following:

Accounting Mathematics

Art History Music

Biology Painting

Chemistry Philosophy

Computer Science Photography

Drawing Politics

Economics Psychology

English Sociology

French Theatre

History Writing

Degrees With Academic Honors

Undergraduate degrees with Latin academic 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. To be eligible for
academic honors, the student must have completed 75 or more semester hours at
Oglethorpe. See also, Honors Program.

Transfer work is not included in the determination for Latin academic
honors.

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
transcript. 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 1 5
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 require-
ments, the student'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
institution, this degree is treated as transfer credit. Up to a maximum of 75
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 45 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.

All transfer policies stated in the section of this Bulletin entitled Transfer
Students and Transfer Policies apply.

Student Classification

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

Normal Academic Load

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

While courses of one to five semester hours credit are offered each semester,
a full-time academic program at Oglethorpe consists of no less than four courses
each semester. 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. Students in the evening
program may carry anywhere from one to four courses each semester.

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.

A minimum of 120 semester hours (or equivalent for transfer students) is
required for graduation. Some programs may require additional credit.

Course Level

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
first digit indicates the level of the course: 1 = freshman level, 2 = sophomore level,
3 = junior level, 4 = senior level, and 6 = graduate level. Higher level courses in a
discipline are typically designed to build upon the content of lower level courses
in that discipline and other specified prerequisite courses.

In some cases, the C, L, or P replaces the first digit in the course number. C
indicates that a 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.

Withdrawal From a Course

From the conclusion of the 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 submitted directly to the Registrar's Office) or withdrawal from the
University will a "W" be assigned.

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

Withdrawal From the University

Students who wish to withdraw from the University during a semester are
required 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.

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
regulations.

Access to Student 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 directory data. Additional
information may be obtained from The O Book and from the Registrar.

Policy on Academic Fraud - The Oglethorpe
Honor Code

1 Preamble

. Persons who come to Oglethorpe University for work and study join a
community that is committed to high standards of academic honesty. The Honor
Code contains the responsibilities students and faculty accept by becoming
members of the community and the procedures to be followed should this
commitment to honesty 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.
Members 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 dishon-
est. 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 origi-
nal 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 adequate notes on reference materials used in the prepara-
tion 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)

1 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 members 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.

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 Coun-
cils). Forms for reporting violations will be included in orientation materials and
in the 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 investigation 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
determined 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
statement, 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.

The Core
Curriculum

History of the Core Curriculum

The idea for a "core curriculum" at Oglethorpe University is 50 years old in
the academic year 1994-95, making it one of the oldest core programs at a liberal
arts college in the country. In 1944, Oglethorpe's President Philip Weltner
proposed a totally new liberal arts curriculum with the twin aims of equipping
students to "make a life and make a living." One half of each student's college
course work was devoted to the common intellectual experience of the core, while
the other half was devoted to a student's major area of study. Weltner published
his ideas for a new core curriculum in a small brochure called The Oglethorpe Book,
outlining his new plan and his philosophy of education. In so doing, he antici-
pated 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'm 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."

Dr. Weltner's core curriculum for the Oglethorpe students of the 1940s
reflected the concerns of the war era: the core consisted of a series of courses
under the headings "Citizenship" and "Human Understanding." 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.

With the support of a major grant from the National Endowment for the
Humanities, the Oglethorpe core curriculum underwent substantial revision in
the early 1990s to reflect 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 Oglethorpe core is aimed at
providing a common learning experience for all students in which each course
takes a distinct approach to understanding five key questions central to the human
experience. In centering this curriculum on the discussion of five important
questions, the faculty has renewed its commitment to the spirit of Dr. Weltner's
original core philosophy. He wrote, "We must never for an instant forget that
education to be true to itself must be a progressive experience for the learner, in
which interest gives rise to inquiry, inquiry is pursued to mastery, and mastery here
occasions new interests there."

As every student's second major, the core continues to urge students to
pursue links among the various areas of study and to appreciate the value of
intellectual inquiry. As faculty work together through frequent conversation
about the content and goals of their core courses to provide an integrated
approach to learning, one is reminded of the pledge Dr. Weltner made 50 years
ago in outlining the core: "Oglethorpe University insists that the object is not to
pass a subject; the object is to take and keep it."

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 communi-
ties. In The Idea of a University, John Henry Newman explains that a liberal
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 Virginia, 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 proclaimed, 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 commit-
ment to small classes, personal attention to the individual student, collaborative
activites, and critical reading and writing. In its dedication to a broad, comprehen-
sive 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 disci-
plines 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, none of which have 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?

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 encoun-
ter such points of view directly, Oglethorpe's core courses are designed to
stimulate intensive interaction between faculty and students.

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 demonstrate the potential to do exceptional scholarly work and who desire
to further their academic experience at Oglethorpe. The program focuses on the
practice of scholarship, both in breadth and in depth, and emphasizes effective
communication of the results of that scholarly activity both to persons within the
field and outside it. The Honors Program also is intended to foster increased
interaction between students and faculty with diverse interests but similar dedica-
tion to academic excellence.

To meet these goals, the Honors Program is a seven-semester program
organized in two phases as indicated in the table below.

4998. Honors III 3 hours

Each fall semester informational programs will be held to acquaint prospec-
tive participants with the features and requirements of the Honors Program.
Interested students should then apply for admission to the program. A grade-
point average of 3.3 in the fall of the freshman year will be required to participate
in the first seminar. A grade-point average of 3.3 must be maintained to continue
in the Honors Program. Students may apply for admission to the program at any
time prior to the fall semester of the junior year.

The first phase of the program, to be taken in the freshman and sophomore
years, focuses on the practice of sholarship in breadth and communication to
persons whose areas of study and interests may be outside one's own area of
expertise. This phase consists of a series of three 1 semester hour seminars (2999) ,
each of which considers a topic which might take the form of a proposition,
question, problem, text, period of time, etc. Each of these seminars will be
directed by two faculty members from disparate disciplines. The interdisciplinary
makeup of the seminar participants will be exploited to investigate the seminar
topic from many perspectives. Students will be expected, encouraged, and
enabled to take the lead in the seminars. Students will carry out research relevant
to the topic, write extensively in connection with the seminar, and make frequent
presentations of their findings to the seminar. Students will practice and refine

many of the skills and techniques necessary for the second phase of the Honors
Program.

The second phase of the Honors Program, to be taken in the junior and senior
years, focuses on scholarship in depth and the effective communication of the
results of that scholarship to persons in the field of study, as well as those outside
it. During the fall semester of the junior year, the student secures a thesis
supervisor and enrolls in 3998 Honors I. The student must have a 3.3 overall grade-
point average and a 3.5 grade-point average in the field in which the thesis work
is to be undertaken. During this semester the student, with the aid of the faculty
supervisor, will select, refine, and begin to research a suitable thesis topic. The
student will develop a preliminary prospectus of the honors project along with any
appropriate reading lists, etc. Honors I carries credit of 1 semester hour graded
on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis, with the grade to be determined by the
Honors Program Director in consultation with the faculty supervisor. Satisfactory
completion of Honors I is required to continue the program.

In the spring of the junior year the student enrolls in 3999 Honors II, a
1 semester hour credit course, graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis, in
which the honors project is further refined and researched. Upon successful
completion of Honors II, the student enrolls in 4998 Honors III during the fall
semester of the senior year. This is a 3 semester hour credit course in which
research of the thesis topic is to be completed. A first draft of the thesis is required
by the end of this semester, to be submitted to the student's reading committee.
The reading committee will provide the student with feedback, including recom-
mended revisions. A letter grade will be determined by the faculty supervisor in
consultation with the reading committee and the Honors Program Director. A
grade of "A" is required to enroll in 4999 Honors IV.

After successful completion of 4998 Honors III, the student enrolls in 4999
Honors IV, a graded 1 semester hour credit course, during the spring semester of
the senior year. During this semester the student will make any necessary revisions
in producing a final draft of the thesis which will be submitted to the reading
committee. The student will also make an appropriate presentation of the honors
work to a seminar, class, or meeting of an academic organization, etc. Students are
encouraged to submit their theses to appropriate competitions or for publication.
The final draft of the thesis is to be presented to the reading committee at least
three weeks prior to the end of classes. At the reading committee's discretion the
student may be asked to make a formal defense of the thesis. The faculty
supervisor, in consultation with the reading committee and the Honors Program
Director, will determine the grade to be awarded by the first day of the final
examination period.

2999. Honors Seminar 1 hour

This seminar, led by faculty members from two disparate disciplines, will
consider a question, problem, proposition, text, period of time, project, etc. The
focus of the seminar will be student research, writing, and presentation. An
interdisciplinary approach will be emphasized. Prerequisite: Application and
admission into the Honors Program.

3998. Honors I 1 hour

In this course, with the aid of a faculty supervisor, the student selects and
researches a thesis topic. A preliminary prospectus is developed along with a
reading list. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Prerequisites: Permis-
sion of the Honors Program Director, permission of the faculty 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.

3999. Honors II 1 hour

In this course the student continues research in order to refine the prospec-
tus of the honors project. Prerequisites: Permission of the Honors Program
Director, permission of the faculty 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 III 3 hours

Under continued direction of the faculty supervisor, research of the thesis
topic is completed in this course. Preparation of a first draft is submitted to the
student's reading committee. Graded with a letter grade. Prerequisites: Permis-
sion of the Honors Program Director, permission of the faculty 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.

4999. Honors IV 1 hour

Revisions are made and a final draft of the thesis is submitted to the student's
reading committee where a formal defense may be requested. An appropriate oral
presentation of the honors work also will be required in an academic setting.
Graded with a letter grade. Prerequisite: Grade of "A" in 4998.

Interdisciplinary
Programs and Majors

Interdisciplinary studies signal progressive trends in higher education that
invite the learner to use more than one area of academic study to assist in the
intellectual inquiry. Such studies across academic disciplines at Oglethorpe are
subsumed into three categories: (1) course work which is nontraditional in its
approach; (2) the Individually Planned Major, which pursues a course of study not
comprehended in the regular academic disciplines; and (3) interdisciplinary
majors, which typically combine two areas of study of multi-faceted academic
inquiry.

Interdisciplinary Courses

1011. Fresh Focus 1 hour

This class is required for all entering first-year students and is a small group
activity also involving selected volunteer upperclass students and faculty. Students
pick from among numerous topics with experiential and interactive as well as
academic features. The first meeting of each Fresh Focus group is during new
student orientation. The members of each group then meet for the first half of the
semester to pursue their chosen topic and share related experiences. During the
same period new students also will choose from a menu of 50-minute workshops
on aspects of general subject areas, including leadership, health and wellness,
careers, skills for academic success, and open houses in the academic divisions.
Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.

2011. Team Teaching for Critical Thinking 1 hour

Student mentors assist faculty instructors in planning and teaching the
special topics sessions of Fresh Focus or other freshman-level courses. They
participate in training meetings prior to the beginning of the course, communi-
cate with entering freshmen over the summer, attend all classes in their Fresh
Focus section, and assist with the advising of freshmen throughout their first year.
Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.

2019. Seminar for Student Tutors 1 hour

Peer tutors at the Academic Resource Center spend two hours per week
assisting other students, individually or in groups, with course material, papers,
and preparation for examinations. In addition, they participate one hour a week
in support and training meetings with the ARC directors and with instructors of
the courses in which they tutor; they discuss how to work with texts in different
disciplines, to encourage study group members to help each other learn, and to
foster student engagement with active assimilation of course content and skills.
Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.

3011. Interdisciplinary Studies: Special Topics 3 hours

Courses that focus on materials and topics that are interdisciplinary in nature,
transcending the boundaries of specific disciplines or academic divisions of the
University, are offered under this rubric.

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
Registrar's Office, to be approved by the chair of the division in which the
proposed major's concentration is included and the Provost. This application
should be submitted by the end of the second semester of the student's sopho-
more year. The application 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.

Interdisciplinary Majors

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

American Studies

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

In addition to introducing students to the field of American studies, the major
is designed to help students refine their fundamental intellectual skills, especially

their writing and speaking skills. Skills of this sort will serve the student well long
after many specific facts, postulates, and theories have been forgotten. In short,
as is consistent with Oglethorpe's stated institutional purpose, the American
studies program seeks to prepare humane generalists individuals who possess
those basic qualities so necessary for leadership in a rapidly changing world. The
degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts.

Requirements of the major include completion of the following eight courses:

2216 American History to 1865

Note: Special topics and independent studv courses fulfill the requirements of the
International Studies major only when they have a substantial international
component.
There is a rigorous foreign language requirement. Students must either
undertake a study abroad experience with a substantial foreign language compo-
nent after having demonstrated a proficiency equivalent of two years of study, or
complete three years of foreign language study at Oglethorpe.

A study abroad experience is required. A summer or semester at a foreign
university is the preferred method of meeting this requirement. In addition,
students must assemble a study abroad portfolio, which includes materials from
the course work and a journal detailing the experience and the reflection on it.
Students who receive financial aid at Oglethorpe should consult 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, the Universidad de Belgrano in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Haagse Hogeschool in the Netherlands, and the
Lycee Margueritte in Verdun, France to aid students in identifying worthwhile

foreign study opportunities. Other programs in the recent past in which students
have studied abroad include Brethren Colleges Abroad, International Intercul-
tural Studies Program of the University System of Georgia, and the Centre
Linguistique Pour Etrangers. 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 mathemati-
cians by training. Indeed, modern computer science would not be possible
without the existence of a number of mathematical developments once thought
to be entirely theoretical in nature.

The major in Mathematics and Computer Science is designed to acquaint
students with the various linkages between computer science and mathematics
and to enable students to understand more thoroughly their primary discipline,
whether it is mathematics or computer science. Rigorous training in mathemati-
cal thinking will provide the student with essential analytical tools and mental
discipline, while the problem-solving skills that will be sharpened in the process
of developing algorithms for computer applications will prove to be beneficial to
students of mathematics. Students will become familiar with ways in which
modern computational tools have made possible work in mathematics that would
otherwise be prohibitively laborious. 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.

Art

The art program offers courses in art history and studio work to enhance the
student's appreciation of works of art and to develop skills in a variety of media.
The program is unique in its emphasis on realism which is achieved through the
development of classical fundamentals in all studio courses. Studio courses stress
concentration and self-discipline leading to eventual self-expression. The student
who takes even one course as an elective can learn to draw, paint, or sculpt from
reality while gaining confidence through understanding the basic concepts that
create the illusion of reality.

This program provides an in-depth understanding of art and its traditional
principles and theories. Principles of Accounting I is strongly suggested enabling
the art major upon graduation to have a practical education for immediate
entrance into the arts. Several career options include professional artist (painter,
draughtsman, photographer), art historian, or museum administrator. A gradu-
ate will be prepared well for entering any of the art professions or graduate school.

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
opportunity 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.

Major

Requirements for the major in art include two drawing courses; three
painting courses; Ways of Seeing: Perception, Composition, and Color; Modern
Art History; two upper-level art history courses; Anatomy for the Artist; Figure
Drawing; and Introduction to Photography.

The Scientific Illustration Track with Biological Science Emphasis and the
Scientific Illustration Track with Physical Science Emphasis are two programs
which enable the student to combine art major requirements and specific science
courses. These programs fulfill admission requirements for graduate school
programs in medical and scientific illustration. Graduate experience is necessary
to qualify for employment in these areas.

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
drawing 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 an additional
course in painting, 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
painting 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.

a learning contract which specifies learning objectives for the internship and
indices for the evaluation of the student's achievement of these objectives.
Students are employed or volunteer in standard work situations with cooperating
business organizations, governmental departments and agencies or in other
professional settings. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Prerequisites:
Permission of the faculty supervisor and qualification for the internship program.

Dual Degree 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
completion of all of the core requirements plus the aforementioned art courses,
the student enrolls at The Atlanta College of Art and completes 75 credit hours
in studio and art history courses. Placement in studio courses is dependent on a
portfolio review.

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

Communications

A program in communications prepares students to express themselves
effectively 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
meaning, to reach judgments about their value, to explore their relation to life,
and to derive pleasure. To these ends, students make written and oral analyses,
supporting their conclusions with close examination of specific passages from the
works of literature being studied. In both literature and writing courses, students
learn to compose their generalizations and supporting details into a coherent
structure of thought and language.

An English major at Oglethorpe is excellent preparation for law school or any
other professional training that requires students to interpret written material
and support their assertions with specific evidence. Given the expressed need in
the business community for people who can communicate well orally and on
paper, the combination of an English major and courses in business administra-
tion or an accounting minor may be very attractive to prospective employers. The
course Advanced 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, publish-
ing 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 Programs and 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.

Major

Students majoring in history are required to take a minimum of eight history
courses, exclusive of courses used to meet core requirements. These eight must
include at least one European history and one American history course. Each
student also is required to take Intermediate Writing: Investigation and five

political thought and institutions. In addition, students in this discipline develop

difficult texts carefully and thoughtfully is especially important in political theory
courses. Students of politics develop some tolerance for ambiguity and disagree-
ment, while at the same time learning to appreciate the difference between
informed and uniformed 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. Oglethorpe's location in metropoli-
tan Atlanta means that a diverse array of internships is readily available to students.
In recent years, students have interned with the Georgia State Legislature, the
Department of Industry, Trade, and Tourism, and the League of Women Voters,
as well as on various gubernatorial and legislative campaigns. In addition, the
University is able to arrange numerous exciting opportunities through its affilia-
tions with The Washington Center for Internships and the Washington Semester
Program of American University. While students may earn up to 1 5 semester hours
of internship credit, only six may count toward the fulfillment of major require-
ments and three 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, the Universidad de Belgrano in
Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Haagse Hogeschool in the Netherlands, and the
Lycee Margueritte in Verdun, France to facilitate such study.

Major

The requirements for a major in politics are satisfactory completion of at least
10 politics courses - at least two of which must be at the 3000 level and one at the
4000 level - as well as four elective (non-core) courses in related subjects, no more
than two of which may be in the same subject. These "related subjects" include all

118

history courses, as well as courses in philosophy, sociology, economics, quantita-
tive 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, interna-
tional relations, and political philosophy) must also 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
(American government, comparative politics, international relations, and politi-
cal philosophy).

C271, C272. Human Nature and the Social Order I, II 3 plus 3 hours

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
responds 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
Tocqueville, and Max Weber.

Pre-law Studies

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

121

Division III

Science and Mathematics

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 of "C-" or higher must be obtained in each freshmen- and
sophomore-level science or mathematics course that is required for the major or
minor; these courses are numbered 1000 through 3000 in each field within the
division. 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.

Students who are interested in medical or scientific illustration are encour-
aged to consider the Scientific Illustration Tracks that are offered within the Art
Major which is described in the Division I section of this Bulletin.

Allied Health Studies

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

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

Biology

The curriculum in biology provides a foundation in both classical and
contemporary biological concepts and prepares the student for continuing
intellectual growth and professional development in the life sciences. 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 employ-
ment in research institutions, industry, and government; the curriculum also
prepares students for graduate school and for professional schools of medicine,
dentistry, veterinary medicine, and the like. Students planning to attend graduate
or professional schools should recognize that admission to such schools is often

123

highly competitive. Completion 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 Chem-
istry I and II (with laboratories), Organic Chemistry I and II (with laboratories),

Chemistry

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

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

Dual Degree in Engineering

Oglethorpe is associated with the Georgia Institute of Technology, the
University of Florida, Auburn University, Mercer University, and the University of
Southern California in combined programs of liberal arts and engineering. The
programs require the student to complete three years at Oglethorpe University
and the final two years at one of these engineering schools. The three years at
Oglethorpe include core curriculum courses, General Chemistry I and II, College
Physics I and II, Calculus I-TV, and a choice of Differential Equations or Linear
Algebra. The two years of technical education require the completion of courses
in one of the branches of engineering. Additionally, Oglethorpe has an agree-
ment 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 success-
ful completion of the program are the degree of Bachelor of Arts by Oglethorpe
University and the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering by the engineer-
ing school. Because the required pre-engineering curricula of the five affiliated
schools 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, resulting in more effective learning in advanced engineering courses. As
a liberal arts and sciences university, Oglethorpe stresses broad education for
intelligent leadership. 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 preparation 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 education that is both broad and deep - a combination that
will serve the graduate well as career responsibilities increase.

General Science

The physical science and biological science courses are appropriate for
students who have a good background in algebra but a minimal one in other
sciences. Students with excellent preparation in the sciences may elect one of the
regular lecture-and-laboratory courses in biology, chemistry, or physics. Such
courses fulfill the core requirements that also can be met by the physical science
and biological science courses.

C351. Natural Science: The Physical Sciences 3 hours

This topically-oriented course will examine the many facets of scientific
investigation. These include the underlying assumptions, the limitations, the
provisional nature, and the power of the scientific process, as well as the influences
of science on other aspects of human activity. Experimentation is the hallmark of

129

scientific investigation. As such, laboratory experimentation will be a distinguish-
ing feature of this course. Course time devoted to experimentation in the
laboratory, as well as inside and outside the classroom, will intertwine with time
devoted to discussion and lecture. Natural Science: The Physical Sciences will deal
with a topic drawn from the physical sciences. These will include but not be limited
to: Chemistry, Descriptive Astronomy, History of Science, Meteorology, Modern
Scientific Perspectives of the Universe, and Oceanography. Prerequisite: 1332 or
by examination.

C352. Natural Science: The Biological Sciences 3 hours

This course is designed to examine the many facets of scientific investigation.
Laboratory experimentation will be an important feature, with course time
devoted to experimentation in the laboratory as well as the classroom. Rather than
a survey of the entire field of biology, this effort will be directed toward specific
topics such as, but not limited to: Cancer, Cell Biology, Human Biology, Ecology,
and Evolution.

4356. Internship - Science 1-6 hours

Internships in the natural sciences and mathematics provide students the
opportunity to acquire valuable experiences in areas that are of special interest to
them. Under the guidance of a faculty supervisor and an on-site director,
structured activities are planned to ensure that learning objectives are achieved.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Georgia Mental Health
Institute and numerous medical, industrial, and research facilities have welcomed
Oglethorpe students as interns. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.
Prerequisites: Permission of the faculty supervisor and qualification for the
internship progam.

Mathematics

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

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

A major in mathematics provides a core of mathematics essential for graduate
study or immediate employment. Students with mathematical training at the
undergraduate level are sought by employers in business, government, and
industry. Career opportunities for mathematics majors exist in areas such as
computer programming, operations research, statistics, and applied mathematics.
Note: For a reading of Oglethorpe's required level of mathematics proficiency
(Mathematics Proficiency Requirement), please see the Academic Regula-
tions and Policies section of this Bulletin.

130

which algebra and geometry merge. The course will consider the following topics:
lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, vectors, transformation of coordi-
nates, and polar coordinates, complex numbers, trigonometric functions, and
applications of trigonometry. This course satisfies the Mathematics Proficiency
Requirement. Prerequisite: 1331 or by examination.

C330. Great Ideas of Modern Mathematics 3 hours

The purpose of this course is to consider the way in which mathematics
responds to the core question and to help students understand and appreciate the
way of knowing (or, better, the way of thinking) which underlies mathematics. The
mode of inquiry this course employs in attempting to answer the core questions
is reason. This is not to be confused with the kind of reasoning used, for example,
in the natural or social sciences. It is, rather, reason divorced from anything
empirical. The course will be organized around three or four major mathematical
ideas that have emerged since the time of Newton. These ideas will be drawn from
such fields as calculus, set theory, number theory, probability theory, modern

131

algebra, logic, topology, and non-Euclidean geometry. Prerequisite: 1332 or by
examination.

Medical Technology

Medical technologists play an important role in the delivery of modern health
care. Although hospitals and clinics are their traditional sites of employment,
medical technologists also find opportunities in many other situations, such as
commercial testing laboratories, medical and pharmaceutical research facilities,
and in the sales and demonstration of technical instruments.

Students working toward the degree of Bachelor of Science in Medical
Technology undertake their clinical training at an approved institution after
successful completion of prerequisite academic course work at Oglethorpe
University. Prerequisites for clinical programs vary among institutions; therefore,
students should seek additional advisement from the program to which they are

133

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

Physics

The physics curriculum is designed to provide well-rounded preparation in
classical and modern physics. The successful completion of this program will
prepare the graduate to gain admission to one of the better graduate programs in
physics or a related scientific field, or to secure employment in a technical,
scientific, or engineering setting.

Major

The requirements for a major in physics are as follows: College Physics I and
II and Calculus I and II are to be taken concurrently (preferably in the freshman

courses. (College Physics I fulfills a core requirement and is therefore not part of
the major per se.)

Minor

A minor in physics is offered to provide students with an opportunity to
strengthen and broaden their educational credentials either as an end in itself or
as an enhancement of future employment prospects. The requirement for the
physics minor is 10 semester hours of physics course work numbered 2343 or

Pre-medical Studies

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 students to begin the process
of undergraduate program planning with a pre-medical adviser. It is essential that
contact be establishd by the second semester of the student's freshman year.

136

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

Some schools of medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine will admit
highly qualified applicants who have completed all admission requirements for
the professional school during three years of study at an undergraduate institu-
tion. (Four years of undergraduate work and a bachelor's degree are standard
requirements; admission after three years is highly atypical and is not available at
all schools. ) It is possible for students to enter an allopathic or osteopathic medical
school, dental school or veterinary school (no other health professions schools are
eligible) after three years of study at Oglethorpe to complete their bachelor's
degree under the Professional Option. By specific arrangement between the
professional school and Oglethorpe University, and in accordance with regula-
tions of both institutions, after successful completion of all academic requirements
of the the first year in the professional school, the student receives a degree from
Oglethorpe University when certified to be in good standing at the professional
school. Students interested in this possibility should consult with their advisers to
make certain that all conditions are met; simultaneous enrollment in several
science courses each semester during the three years at Oglethorpe will likely be
required to meet minimum expectations for taking professional school admis-
sions tests and to meet admission requirements for the professional school. All
Oglethorpe core courses must be completed before the student enrolls in the
professional school.

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

Major

The major consists of at least nine psychology courses beyond Psychological
Inquiry, including Statistics, Research Design, Advanced Experimental Psychol-
ogy, and History and Systems of Psychology. Psychology majors also are expected
to complete the following three directed electives: General Biology I and II, and
either a third semester of a laboratory science, an upper-level philosophy course
or Introduction to Linguistics. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts.

Accounting

The essence of accounting is measurement and communication. The objec-
tive is to provide information that is useful to decision-makers who must choose
between economic alternatives. Accordingly, the field focuses on information

148

concerning economic resources, claims to those resources, and the results of
economic activity. The purpose of the major in accounting is to acquaint the
student with this information and to develop the analytic ability necessary to
produce it. The student learns to observe economic activity; to select from that
activity the events which are relevant to particular decisions; to measure the
economic consequences of those events in quantitative terms; to record, classify,
and summarize the resulting data; and to communicate the information thereby
produced in various reports and statements to appropriate decision-makers.

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

Business Administration

The business administration curriculum is designed to prepare students for
careers as business leaders who will earn their livelihoods 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 independently is enhanced through study of the courses
in the core curriculum and through a requirement that each student must
complete advanced work in at least one area of business. Courses in economics
and the functional areas of business administration introduce the student to
business institutions, terminology, and methods of inquiry. Required courses in
Advanced Writing for Business and the Professions and the capstone course,
Strategic Management, provide practice in thinking and communicating.

The program in business administration is also designed to give graduates a
solid foundation in the concepts and analysis of business functional areas that will
be needed for graduate study. Many graduates go on to receive a Master of
Business Administration degree or a master's degree in a specific business area.

In addition to preparing students for business careers and graduate school,
the program in business administration is valuable preparation for other careers.
Students learn administrative 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.

The three required advanced electives may be taken in a specific functional
area as a concentration or taken in different areas. Concentration requirements
are listed below.

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
interaction of many individual decision-makers. Finally, economics involves evalu-
ation 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. Knowledge of
how markets function is helpful both to business people and voters who will make
decisions about such market-related economic matters as taxes, interest ceilings,
minimum wages, and public utility rates. Third, the practice in evaluating
different social orders leads students to replace their unschooled opinions about
complex situations with disciplined thought. This practice should be of service to
those planning careers in business, law, politics, government, or religion.

Undergraduate Programs in Education

Education provides courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts in elementary and
secondary education, with elementary concentrations in early childhood (PK-5)
and middle grades education (4-8). Programs in secondary education (7-12)
combine an undergraduate major in English, history, mathematics, or science
(biology, chemistry, physics) with teacher certification. The teacher-preparation
curricula are fully approved by the Department of Education of the State of
Georgia; successful program completion is necessary to obtain a teaching certifi-
cate. 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 1 of the sophomore year.

3. Completion of Student Teaching. Apply for spring placement by October
1, fall placement by March 1.

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 not less than 2.5 for all college work. Before placement for
student teaching can be approved the student must show evidence of good moral
character, 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 not less than 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

Each post-baccalaureate student will meet with his or her adviser to plan an
individual course of study relating Oglethorpe's program to the requirements for
teacher certification in Georgia. Students seeking secondary certification must
meet the course requirements for the major and receive a satisfactory score on a
standardized test in their major. Course work will be taken at the undergraduate
level; however, students seeking certification in early childhood or middle grades
may take a maximum of three courses at the graduate level if they are to be applied

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 administration, 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
knowledge in the area of elementary education. Inherent in the guiding philoso-
phy is the assumption that graduate study includes more than the passing of
prescribed courses and the meeting of minimum requirements. All students who
receive graduate degrees must possess a broad knowledge of the literature of their
field of study, be capable of sustained study, exhibit the power of independent
thinking, and possess reasonable knowledge of the techniques of research.

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
graduate credit at Oglethorpe.

168

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
graduation should be made in the Registrar's Office by mid-October prior
to graduation the following May or August.

Admission

Upon recommendation of the chair of the Education Division and approval
by 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 pre-
scribed, 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 employers; a copy of valid teaching certificate; and, when
deemed necessary, take validating examinations or preparatory work. Students
who do not have a Georgia T4 certificate in either early or middle grades must
contact the Graduate Admission Counselor regarding evaluation prior to admis-
sion. Candidates not previously prepared for teaching must meet requirements
for first professional certification before completing requirements for the master's
degree.

Application forms may be obtained from the Admissions Office of the
University. 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-
refundable). All material (completed forms, fee, transcripts, and test scores)
should be sent directly to the Admissions Office, Oglethorpe University, 4484
Peachtree Road N.E., 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 Office of Admissions
of the change and indicate a new date of entrance, if applicable. Otherwise, the
original admission will be canceled, the file discontinued, and a new application
may be required 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 not less than
2.5 on a 4.0 scale, satisfactory scores on the GRE, NTE, or MAT, and the
recommendation of the chair of the Education Division, and who has completed
all prerequisites required for admission may be admitted as a regular graduate
student.

169

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
bachelor's degree may be permitted to enroll in courses for graduate credit
provided that: (1) 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
renewing 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 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 wishes 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.

170

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
subject to the following conditions: ( 1 ) transfer credit will not be considered prior
to admission to candidacy; (2) work already applied toward another degree
cannot be accepted; (3) work must have been completed within the six-year
period allowed for the completion of degree requirements; (4) work must have
been applicable toward a graduate degree at the institution where the credit was
earned; (5) work offered for transfer must have the approval of the Education
Division; and (6) acceptance of the transfer credit does not reduce the residence
requirement.

Under no circumstances may credit earned through correspondence work be
applied toward satisfaction of degree requirements.

Advisement

Upon admission to the graduate program, each student is assigned to a
member of the graduate faculty in education who serves as adviser and guides the
student in planning a program of study.

Registration

Registration dates for each semester are listed in the University Calendar at
the front of this Bulletin. Several weeks prior to the beginning of each semester,
students may obtain from the Registrar's Office a schedule of classes for that
particular semester. Graduate summer sessions may vary slightly either as to dates
or length of course.

Course Load

The maximum course load for any graduate student is 12 credit hours per
regular semester or six credit hours in a summer session. In some cases, students
may take nine hours in the summer by special permission if previous performance
has been excellent. A person working more than 30 hours per week normally may
not register for more than six hours credit per semester. In all cases, the graduate
student is urged to register for only the number of hours which can be successfully
completed.

Tuition and Fees

Graduate students are charged at the rate of $395 (1994-95 rate) per 3
semester hour course. An application fee (non-refundable) of $25 must accom-
pany the application.

An application for degree must be made by mid-October in the Registrar's
Office prior to completion of degree requirements the following December, May,
or August at which time a $70 graduation fee is due.

All fees are subject to change. Please inquire with the Business Office for
current fee information.

171

Withdrawals and Refunds

Students who find it necessary to drop courses or change courses must secure
a Drop/Add form from the Registrar's Office. Refunds are subject to the same
requirements as explained in the section on Tuition and Costs.

Grading

For a complete description of Oglethorpe's grading scale, please refer to the
Academic Regulations and Policies section of this Bulletin.

Standards

Candidates for the master's degree must meet the following academic
standards:

1. The student's overall grade-point average for work submitted in the
graduate program must be 3.0 or higher.

2. If, in any case, the candidate fails to maintain satisfactory academic
standards a review by the Teacher Education Council will determine the
student's continuation in a graduate program.

Any student will be placed on academic probation who falls below a "B"
average (GPA 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
three additional graduate courses.

Comprehensive Final Examination

A comprehensive final examination is required of all candidates for the
master's degree at or about the time all other requirements have been met. The
following regulations govern the administration of the comprehensive examina-
tion:

1. The student must have completed all course work or be taking the final
elective course in order to take the examination.

2. The examinations are developed and administered by such members of
the graduate faculty as may be appointed by the chair of the Education
Division.
