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. 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- 10 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. 11 History 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 13 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 14 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."

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. 18 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.

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, 21 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 locations. 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. 22 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. 23 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.

Early Admission (Early Entrance) A gifted student of unusual maturity whose high school record shows excel- lent academic performance through the junior year in a college preparatory program, and whose score on a standardized aptitude test is high, may submit his or her application for admission to the University for enrollment after the junior year in high school. The candidate should have the support of his or her parents in writing submitted with the application. A strong recommendation from the high school is expected, and the candidate must come to campus for a personal interview with a senior admissions officer. 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 at Oglethorpe. This permission is the responsiblity of the transient student. A letter of good standing or a current transcript must be sent to the Admissions Office before a transient student can be accepted. Post-baccalaureate Students Post-baccalaureate students must submit a post-baccalaureate/transient ap- plication and acceptable letters of reference; former Oglethorpe students may return to the University with the permission of the Director of Admissions. Upon 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 25 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.

Additional information is available from the Dean of Continuing Education. 31 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. 33 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. 34 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.

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. 45 Full-Time Fees - 1994-95 Full-time on-campus student: Fall, 1994 Spring, 1995 Tuition $6,450 Tuition $6,450 Room & Board 2,090-2,250 Room & Board 2,090-2,250 Damage Deposit 100 Damage Deposit - Activity Fee 30 Activity Fee 30 Advance Deposit - 200 Full-time commuting student: Fall, 1994 Tuition $6,450 Spring, 1995 Tuition $6,450 Activity Fee 30 Activity Fee 30 Advance Deposit - 100 These schedules do not include the extra cost of single rooms, books and supplies (approximately $500 per year), or travel and personal expense.

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. Evening and Summer Fees - 1994-95 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. 46 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.

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. 50 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. 51 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.

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. 53 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 54 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. 55 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 56 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. 57 Honors Presented at the May Commencement The Sally Hull Weltner Award for Scholarship: This award is presented to the student in the graduating class who has the highest grade-point average on work completed at Oglethorpe among the students graduating with academic honors.

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 62 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: Quality Numerical Grade Meaning Points Equivalent A Superior 4.0 93-100 A- 3.7 90-92 B+ 3.3 87-89 B Good 3.0 83-86 B- 2.7 80-82 C+ 2.3 77-79 c Satisfactory 2.0 73-76 c- 1.7 70-72 D+ 1.3 67-69 D Passing 1.0 60-66 F Failure 0.0 59 and below FA Failure: Excessive Absences* W Withdrew** WF Withdrew Failing* I Incomplete*** S Satisfactory**** 70 or higher u Unsatisfactory* AU Audit (no credit) Notes: * - Grade has same effect as an "F" on the GPA. - Grade has no effect on the GPA; no credit awarded. - Grade has same effect as an "F" on the GPA. If a student is unable to complete the work for a course on time for reasons 63 of health, family tragedy, or other circumstances the instruc- 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. **** _ Q ra( j e h as no effect on the GPA; credit is awarded. Only work completed at Oglethorpe is reflected in the Oglethorpe GPA. Students who entered Oglethorpe prior to Fall 1992 will be graded without the plus/minus system as follows: Grade A B C D F Meaning Superior Good Satisfactory Passing Failure uality Numerical 'oints 4 Equivalent 90-100 3 2 1 80-89 70-79 60-69 59 and below 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 64 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. 65 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. Degrees Oglethorpe offers four degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, and Master of Arts. 66 For the Bachelor of Arts degree the following majors are offered: American Studies Art Business Administration and Behavioral Science Communications Economics Education (Early Childhood and Middle Grades) Secondary Certification in English, History, Mathematics, and Science English History Individually Planned Major International Studies Philosophy Politics Psychology Sociology Sociology with Social Work Concentration For the Bachelor of Science degree the following majors are offered: Biology Chemistry Mathematics Mathematics and Computer Science Medical Technology Physics For the Bachelor of Business Administration degree the following majors are offered: Accounting Business Administration Business Administration and Computer Science Economics For the Master of Arts degree the following concentrations are offered: Early Childhood Education Middle Grades Education Under certain conditions it is also possible for a student to receive a dual degree in art, a dual degree in engineering, or a degree under the Professional Option. See the index for the sections where these degrees are discussed. 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 67 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. 68 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 69 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. 70 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. 71 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. 72 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. 73 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. 8. The right to testify in one's own behalf. Should this option be exercised, the accused has the obligation to answer honestly any and all questions put to him or her. One can refuse to answer only for reasons of self- incrimination, in which event the reason must be so stated. Refusal to answer on grounds of self-incrimination will not in itself be taken as evidence of guilt. 9. The right to be free from inference of guilt if the option to testify for one's self is not exercised. 10. The right to a written transcript of the proceedings. 1 1 . In the event of a not guilty verdict, the right to be free from retrial for the same incident. 12. The right to attend any and all University classes, events, and functions prior to a verdict. 13. The right to separate trials for joint alleged offenders. 74 14. Under certain circumstances, the right to appeal an adverse decision. Procedures and criteria relating to an appeal are specified below under Appeals. 15. The right to absolute confidentiality of all participants. 16. The right to be judged in a manner consistent with the penalty. For cases involving punitive lowering of a grade in a course, guilt must be proven only by a preponderance of the evidence. For cases carrying the penalty of expulsion, guilt must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In any event, the complainant has the burden of proof. 17. Evidence obtained through an illegal search shall not be admitted. 7.3.2 Rights Listed Not Exhaustive The rights listed above under Rights of the Accused shall not be construed as exhaustive. 7.3.3 Rights Not Accorded 1. Formal rules of evidence shall not be in effect. All pertinent matters shall be admitted into evidence, including circumstantial evidence and hearsay, the values of which shall be weighted accordingly. 2. The defendant does not have the right to be represented by professional legal counsel during the hearing. 3. Affidavits are not admissible under any circumstances. 4. Any evidence that the accused, or any party acting on his or her behalf, has threatened, accosted, or otherwise intimidated his or her accuser or any adverse witness prior to the verdict, shall be admissible evidence and shall be construed as a most serious breach of conduct. 7.3.4 Evidence and Witnesses 1. Upon receipt of a call for a trial by the Investigatory Panel, the Secretary of the Councils shall summon the prosecution witnesses. 2. It will be the responsibility of the accused to summon witnesses to testify on his or her behalf. 3. Nonmaterial witnesses (i.e. character witnesses) shall be limited to two. 4. The accused may have two advisers from the University community. 5. The accused and/or the accused's advisers may question all witnesses and have the right to cross-examination. 6. A witness shall not be present during the testimony of other witnesses. 7.3.5 Specification of Offense By the end of the trial, the Council will have found the accused to be either innocent or guilty of one of the following offenses: 1. One instance of unplanned, unpremeditated cheating 2. Premeditated dishonesty involving some act of prior planning 3. Aiding another while not enrolled in course in which the act of dishonesty occurs 4. A continuing pattern of premeditated subversion of the System 7.3.6 Voting Voting of the Honor Councils shall be by secret ballots, which will be counted by the Presiding Officer. Guilt or innocence will be decided by a two-thirds vote. 75 7.4 Penalties If the Council determines that a student has committed one of the four offenses listed above in Specification of Offense, it will assess the following penalties: 1. Unpremeditated cheating Lowering of grade in course by letter 2. Premeditated dishonesty "F" in the course 3. Aid while not enrolled Suspension for the next full semester 4. Continuing subversion Permanent expulsion Under 3 above, if the offense occurs during one's last semester, his or her graduation will be delayed one full (fall or spring) semester. Also, the penalty for any second offense is permanent expulsion. 7.5 Reporting of Verdict If the determination of the Honor Council is that a student violated the Honor Code, the student shall be informed that the decision of the Honor Council is final unless within two business days the student so charged makes a written request to the Secretary of the Honor Councils for an appeal hearing, stating why the student believes justice was not done. 8 Appeals 8.1 Jurisdiction The alternate Honor Council acting as an Appeal Board of the Honor Code shall have the following jurisdiction: 1. To review the justice and procedure of the original Honor Council hearing. If it can be proven that the Honor Council which originally heard the case deviated substantially from the hearing procedure of the Honor Code, the defendant has a right to a new hearing. 2. To consider any new evidence and to decide on the basis of that evidence whether or not a new hearing is warranted. 3. If one is warranted, to hold a new hearing in accordance with the provisions of Procedures below. 8.2 Procedures Upon receipt of a request for an appeal hearing, the Secretary of the Councils shall notify the alternate Council (i.e., the Council which did not hear the case originally), which shall hear the appeal. Proceedings of the appeal hearing shall be recorded by the Secretary of the Councils. (A tape recording is urged.) The accused may have no more than two advisers who must be members of the University community. These advisers may be present at the hearing and may ask questions of any of the witnesses and the accused. The defendant shall be informed of the decision of the alternate Honor Council by the Provost. If acquitted on a charge by the alternate Honor Council, a person may not be tried a second time by either Honor Council for the same incident. 76 The Core Curriculum s c i 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." 78 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? 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. 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. 79 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. The core curriculum is generally sequenced as follows: Freshman Year: C161 Philosophical Conceptions of Reality and Human Life CI 91 Analytical Writing C21 1 The Foundations of the West C212 The West and the Modern World C271, C272 Human Nature and the Social Order I, II C462 Psychological Inquiry Sophomore Year: C330 Great Ideas of Modern Mathematics * One of the following year-long literature sequences: 2121 Ancient and Medieval Literature - Homer to 1400 2122 The Renaissance - 1400 to 1670 or 2123 The Enlightenment and the Response of Romanticism 1670 to 1815 2124 Romantic and Victorian Literature - 1815 to 1890 or 2125 Modernism - 1890 to 1945 2126 Contemporary Literature - 1945 to the Present Junior Year: One of the following: CI 31 Music and Culture CI 81 Art and Culture One of the following: C351 Natural Science: The Physical Sciences 1321 General Chemistry I 1341 General Physics I 2341 College Physics I One of the following: C352 Natural Science: The Biological Sciences 1311 General Biology I * Note: Students who enroll in this course should have passed the mathematics proficiency examination or completed Analytic Geometry.

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.

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 82 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. 83 3998.

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. 84 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. 86 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 87 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 2217 American History Since 1865 2472 The American Experience (to be taken in the freshman or sophomore year) 3129 Studies in Fiction II (American) 3217 The Age of Affluence: The United States Since 1945 3523 United States Economic History 4120 American Poetry 4473 Senior Seminar in American Studies (to be taken in the junior or senior year) Completion of seven of the following courses also is required: 2125 Modernism - 1890 to 1945 2126 Contemporary Literature - 1945 to the Present 2221 Constitutional Law 2222 State and Local Government 2471 The Family 3131 Music in the 20th Century: 1900-1950 3132 Music in the 20th Century: 1950 to the Present 3191 Advanced Writing for Business and the Professions 3221 American Political Parties 3222 Congress and the Presidency 3223 United States Foreign Policy 3621 Introduction to Education 4121 Special Topics in Literature and Culture I 4123 Major British and American Authors I 4213 United States Diplomatic History 4214 The American Civil War and Reconstruction 4521 Money and Banking 4522 Labor Economics 4525 Public Finance Requirements for the minor include completion of The American Experi- ence (to be taken in the freshman or sophomore year) and four of the following seven courses: 2216 American History to 1865 2217 American History Since 1865 3129 Studies in Fiction II (American) 3217 The Age of Affluence: The United States Since 1945 3523 United States Economic History 4120 American Poetry 4473 Senior Seminar in American Studies (to be taken in the junior or senior year) 88 Business Administration and Behavioral Science This major provides students with the knowledge and skills of the behavioral sciences as they may be applied in the business world. The major helps to prepare students for careers in business, especially those related to human resources, or for graduate study in business administration and applied psychology. The major consists of 1 1 required courses and four directed electives. The four directed electives should be carefully selected with the assistance of the faculty adviser and must be evenly divided between business administration courses and courses in behavioral sciences. A grade of "C" or better in each course in the major is required for completion of this major. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts.

The major helps to prepare students for careers in international commerce, the travel and convention busi- nesses, international banking and finance, and government. The major also provides an appropriate undergraduate background for the professional study of 90 business, public policy, and law. Students interested in this major should ask the Registrar to refer them to a faculty adviser who specializes in this major. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts. Requirements of the major include completion of the following five courses (including prerequisites): 2223 International Relations 3214 Europe Since 1918 3223 United States Foreign Policy 3470 Culture and Society 3527 Economic Development or 4523 International Economics Completion of four of the following courses also is required: 2214 Special Topics in British History 2226 Comparative Government 3213 Europe in the 19th Century 3220 Special Topics in Politics 3570 International Business 4172 The Third Republic and Its Institutions 4173 The Fifth Republic and Its Institutions 4174 Franco-American Relations in Trade and Culture 4211 Modern German History 4212 Russian History 4213 United States Diplomatic History 4216 Special Topics in History 4218 Independent Study in History 4223 Advanced Topics in International Relations 4230 Internship - International Studies 4239 Independent Study in International Studies 4523 International Economics or other courses as approved by the adviser 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 91 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. Requirements of the major include completion of the following courses: 1335 Calculus I 1336 Calculus II 2331 Calculus III 2332 Calculus IV 2333 Differential Equations 2335 Discrete Mathematics 2542 Principles of Computer Programming 3331 Complex Analysis or 4333 Special Topics in Mathematics 3334 Linear Algebra 3335 Abstract Algebra 3542 Introduction to Data Structures Completion of three of the following five courses also is required: 2540 Introduction to Computer Applications Software 2541 Introduction to Computer Science 3544 Principles of File Processing 4540 Introduction to Systems Programming 4541 Assembly Language and Computer Architecture 92 Division I Humanities American Studies For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in American Studies, please see the Interdisciplinary Programs and Majors section of this Bulletin. 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. 94 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. C181. Art and Culture 3 hours This course surveys the creative ways that human beings throughout history have attempted to depict their relationships to their surroundings. Art is thus viewed as a barometer of civilization, a visual, creative response to the intellectual and emotional climate of a given moment in history. Students will examine present ways of understanding themselves and the universe, the evolution of that understanding, and the conflicts involved. Basic artistic principles and concepts also will be studied in an effort to decide what has artistic value. Recommended for junior or senior year but should precede studio art courses. 1182. Introduction to Drawing 3 hours Studio exercises, in-studio lectures, outside assignments, and critiques are designed to develop a basic understanding of drawing. Projects will be designed to explore concepts and theories of drawing and to develop the bridge between observation and creating an image. 1183.

Anatomy for the Artist 3 hours Students will study the human skeletal system, musculature, proportion, and surface landmarks, and will draw from the life model. 4181. Internship - Art 1-6 hours An internship is designed to provide a formalized, experiential learning opportunity to qualified students. The student and a faculty supervisor negotiate 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 96 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.

Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Prerequisites: Permission of the faculty supervi- sor and qualification for the internship program. 98 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.

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 additional courses in related fields, as approved by the student's adviser. (Two foreign language courses beyond the first year maybe included among these five.) Minor To complete a minor five courses beyond the core requirement must be taken. C211. The Foundations of the West 3 hours This course will explore the history of the Western world from late antiquity to 1600, focusing on the rise of the Christian civilizations of Eastern and Western Europe and Islamic civilization. Special consideration will be given to the com- parative study of ideas, religion, political institutions, and patterns of social organization. Through the use of primary documents and critical scholarly works, students will gain first-hand knowledge of the tools and methods of historical research. C212. The West and the Modern World 3 hours This course covers the history of Western civilization (defined as all the societies descended from medieval Christendom) since 1600, with the focus on its modernization after 1789. This process destroyed the relative homogeneity of the old regime and fragmented the West along two fault lines: (1) socio-economic modernization, which varied profoundly between rich capitalist societies (Ger- 115 many, Britain, United States, Australia) and poor socialist, neo-feudal, or neo- mercantilist ones (Russia, Romania, Mexico, Brazil); and (2) political modernization, which could be liberal, communist, or fascist.

International Studies For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in International Studies, please see the Interdisciplinary Programs and Majors section of this Bulletin. 4230. Internship - International Studies 1-6 hours An internship is designed to provide a formalized, experiential learning opportunity to qualified students. The student and a faculty supervisor negotiate 117 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. In recent years, students have interned with the Canadian Consulate, the Southern Center for International Studies, the Belgian-American Chamber of Commerce, andJETRO, the Japanese External Trade Organization. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. Prerequisites: Permission of the faculty supervisor and qualification for the internship program. 4239. Independent Study in International Studies 1-3 hours Supervised research on a selected topic. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Politics The study of politics at Oglethorpe University focuses on the interpretation of events, both past and current, from a perspective informed by the study of political thought and institutions. In addition, students in this discipline develop their capacity to compare analagous cases and to generalize. The ability to read difficult texts carefully and thoughtfully is especially important in political theory courses. Students of politics develop some tolerance for ambiguity and 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. 1221.

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), Elementary Quantitative Analysis; General Physics I and II; Statistics and a course in calculus; three semester hours of Science Seminar. (Two of the above listed courses, General Biology I and General Chemistry I, fulfill core requirements and are therefore not part of the major per se.) Minor The requirements for a minor in biology are General Biology I and II, Genetics, and Microbiology; students minoring in biology are not exempt from the prerequisites for the biology courses and thus also will complete General Chemistry I and II (with laboratories) and Organic Chemistry I and II (with laboratories). 1311, 1312.

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.

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 Major The object of the course of studies leading to a major in mathematics is to provide the student with a comprehensive background in classical analysis and a broad introduction to the topics of modern and contemporary mathematics. The following mathematics courses are required: Calculus I, II, III, and IV, plus Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Complex Analysis, and Special Topics in Mathematics. Students also are required to take three semester hours of Science Seminar. In addition, students are required to take one of the following four courses: College Physics I, College Physics II, Principles of Computer Programming, or Statistics.

Mathematics and Computer Science For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in Mathematics and Computer Science, please see the Interdisciplinary Programs and Majors section of this Bulletin. 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 year) ; Classical Mechanics I and II and Calculus III and Calculus IV (suggested for the sophomore year); Electricity and Magnetism I and II, Differential Equations, and either Mathematical Physics or Complex Analysis (junior year) ; Thermal and Statistical Physics; Advanced Physics Laboratory I and II; Introduction to Modern Physics I and II; Introduction to Modern Optics; and Special Topics in Theoretical Physics.

Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. 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. 137 Division IV Behavioral Sciences American Studies For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in American Studies, please see the Interdisciplinary Programs and Majors section of this Bulletin. Business Administration and Behavioral Science For a complete description of the interdisciplinary major in Business Admin- istration and Behavioral Science, please see the Interdisciplinary Programs and Majors section of this Bulletin. 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. Minor A minor in psychology consists of any five psychology courses beyond Psycho- logical Inquiry. No course can be used to satisfy both major and minor requirements. C462.

Independent Study in Psychology 1-3 hours This course provides the opportunity for an intense study of diverse topics under the direct supervision of the instructor. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. 142 Sociology Sociology is the scientific study of human society and social behavior. The topics of the field include: criminal behavior, social stratification, demographic trends, and the family. Sociology is a liberal arts major in the truest sense of the term. Besides increasing one's insights into the social world, sociology gives one many opportunities to write and to improve one's mathematical skills. Career opportunities open to sociologists include work in criminology, demography, marketing, and journalism. Major The sociology major consists of a minimum of 10 sociology courses beyond Human Nature and the Social Order I and II, including Introduction to Sociology, Statistics, Research Design, Sociological Theory, and six additional sociology courses selected by the student. In addition, two upper-level courses in economics, history, philosophy, politics, psychology, or writing also must be completed. The degree awarded is the Bachelor of Arts. Minor A minor in sociology consists of Introduction to Sociology and any other four sociology courses beyond Human Nature and the Social Order I and II. No course can be used to satisfy both major and minor requirements. Sociology with Social Work Concentration Nine sociology courses beyond Introduction to Sociology plus a semester in field placement (12-15 semester hours) constitute this major.

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 always have asked. To this end, the focus will be on various compelling and distinctive treatments of the enduring questions about justice and the good life.

A grade of "C" or better must be obtained in each course required by the Division of Economics and Business Administration. A course used to fulfill one requirement cannot be used to fulfill a different requirement. 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. 157 Major (BBA) The 17 courses listed at the beginining of the Division V section and five electives in economics are required of all students pursuing the Bachelor of Business Administration degree.

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. 4. Completion of the entire approved program as found on the following pages. Professional courses should be completed according to the sequence listed in the approved program; detailed programs may be obtained from the education advisers. 5. Pass the Georgia State Teacher Certification Test and submit scores to the Division of Education. 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 Certification Test. 162 Approved programs leading to teacher certification in Georgia are described in the following sections. All approved programs include the requirements for meeting core requirements at Oglethorpe. They may require more general education than is required to meet the core requirements for graduation. Early Childhood Education Major The early childhood education major focuses on teaching in grades pre- kindergarten through five. In addition to general education core requirements, American History to 1865 and American History Since 1865 must be included. Students should take Introduction to Education during the freshman or sopho- more year. Program requirements for early childhood education are available from any education faculty member and must be followed closely to avoid scheduling problems in completion of the degree requirements. The program includes professional education and methods courses in all content areas and culminates in student teaching. Middle Grades Education Major The middle grades education major focuses on teaching in grades four through eight. In addition to general education core requirements, American History to 1865 and American History Since 1865 must be included. Students should take Introduction to Education during the freshman or sophomore year. Program requirements for middle grades education are available from any education faculty member and must be followed closely to avoid scheduling problems in completion of the degree requirements. The program includes professional education courses, methods courses in five basic content areas, and two concentrations of 15 and 12 semester hours each. Secondary Teacher Certification With Degree in a Subject Major Students seeking secondary education certification must apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program. It is essential that the student confer with an education faculty member in addition to his or her subject field adviser to plan a schedule that fulfills the certification requirements. Students who desire secondary (grades 7-12) teacher certification in addition to a major in English, history, mathematics, biology, chemistry, or physics will take the following professional education courses: Introduction to Education, Child and Adolescent Psychology, Secondary Curriculum, Educational Psychology, The Ex- ceptional Child, Secondary Methods, Educational Media, and Student Teaching.

Post-baccalaureate Teacher-Certification The post-baccalaureate teacher-certification program is designed for persons who have completed a bachelor's degree in a discipline other than education. This non-degree program leads to certification in early childhood (PK-5) , middle grades (4-8), or the secondary (7-12) teaching fields of English, history, math- ematics, biology, chemistry or physics. Requirements for admission to the post-baccalaureate teacher certification program include a cumulative grade-point average of not less than 2.5 or better and admission to the Teacher Education Program as described above. 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 toward a master's degree. Additional courses may be required to complete state subject area require- ments at the secondary level. Please inquire with the Business Office for current fee information. Course Descriptions 2611.

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.
