WELCOME TO COLUMBIA SEMINARY

A Seminary catalogue provides data about many things professors,
students, courses, fees, requirements all carefully detailed. Is this
Columbia? As President, how do you answer a thoughtful, searching
prospective student who asks, "What's it really like?"

The authentic answer can only come from the 320 students, the ad-
ministrators and staff, the teachers and counselors of the community.

The Mission of Columbia Theological Seminary is to prepare good
ministers of Jesus Christ for service in the Church, the community, and
the world. We are also committed to the mission of nurturing those
already ordained through continuing education and serving as a theo-
logical resource center for the entire Church.

Three important facets of Seminary life are apparent to us:

Columbia offers learning. In classroom, conference, chapel, refectory,
dormitory, athletic field, library, city, church, hospital and school, signifi-
cant learning takes place. The sharpened tools of learning, produced by
work, struggle and discipline are assimilated. Columbia is an experience
of learning.

Columbia offers growth. Change occurs. No one stays the same after
three or four years, try as one might. But here change comes from in-
sights from the Word of God, the experience of community, the whole of
human history, and the focus on Jesus Christ's meaning for us and the
world. Columbia is an experience of growth.

Columbia provides development. Out of commitment to Christ, new
competence and skills are assumed and developed for the magnificent
diversity of ministry. Columbia is an experience of development.

But there is more which can only be known if experienced person-
ally. You can know it, if Columbia becomes your Seminary.

COLUMBIA SEMINARY The History

Columbia refers to the first permanent location of the seminary in
Columbia, South Carolina, in 1828 a principal cultural, intellectual,
and population center of the Southeast.

The first idea of a theological school for the South was planted
by the Presbytery of Hopewell (Georgia) as early as 1817, but it was not
until 1824 that a constitution for "The Classical, Scientific, and Theologi-
cal Institution of the South'' was adopted by the Presbytery of South
Carolina, and the members of the presbytery were authorized to act as
the Board of Trustees for that institution.

In 1827, the Board recommended to the Synod that the constitution
be altered to make the institution solely a theological seminary. (There
had been great opposition to the proposed literary department being
in competition with the College of South Carolina.) The official name
of the seminary became The Theological Seminary of the Synod of South
Carolina and Georgia; it soon became known as Columbia Theological
Seminary a name which was accepted as permanent in 1925. The
revised constitution was adopted by Synod in 1828, and it was resolved
to get the seminary into operation immediately.

The Reverend Thomas Goulding, pastor of the Presbyterian Church
in Lexington, Georgia, was elected the first Professor of Theology in
December of 1828, and he gathered five students for instruction in the
manse. Following completion of arrangements in Columbia, they moved
to a campus there in January of 1830.

That same year, the Reverend George Howe, a New Englander, was
elected by the synod as instructor in languages. The following year he
became Professor of Biblical Literature, and, shortly, librarian, overseeing
the growth of the seminary's library from the original 300 books collected
by the presbyteries in 1829 to more than 3,000 by 1836. Dr. Howe also
organized the first curriculum for the seminary, apparently modeling it
after those of the Princeton Seminary and of Andover Theological Semi-
nary. He served nearly fifty years until his death in 1883.

In 1857, the Synod of Alabama established the adoption of the
seminary as "our own, placing its name among those of the institutions
which we call 'ours', and which we are to cherish and care for, support,
help, and encourage as our own". Florida (as part of the Synod of South
Georgia and Florida) joined in 1884, with Mississippi completing the
five-synod structure in 1925.

Among the buildings on the Columbia campus was the little chapel
formerly a carriage house where Woodrow Wilson was to be
"reborn for eternity," and where the Presbyterian, U. S. Book of Church
Order was written.

By the 1920s, the population of the Southeast and of Presbyterians
in the area was shifting, and the centers of influence were moving with
it. Atlanta had been a transportation center since the 1880s, and so was
developing as a commercial, industrial, educational and cultural center,

also. Certain Atlanta Presbyterians and leaders of the seminary were con-
vinced of the city's leadership of the New South and its advantages for
the seminary and of the seminary for the city. In 1924, the Board of
Directors agreed (after two previous refusals in 1887 and 1904), and
the decision was made to move to Atlanta, if a campaign for the new
facilities and endowment could be successfully completed in the Synod
of Georgia. Launched in 1925, the campaign had a goal of $500,000
which was promptly subscribed. In that success the cooperation of the
city's 14,193 Presbyterians in their seventy-four churches played the
determining part.

The move of the Seminary from Columbia, South Carolina, to De-
catur, Georgia, was guided by Richard T. Gillespie who served as Presi-
dent from 1925 to 1930. He provided the leadership which led to the
erection of the new facilities.

In 1927, the seminary transferred its Columbia traditions and ministry,
its students and faculty, and its books and equipment to a fifty-seven
acre Decatur, Georgia, site on the outskirts of Atlanta, joining Candler
School of Theology and another eleven of the current twenty-three
institutions of higher education in the greater Atlanta area.

The early years in Decatur were difficult ones for Columbia. For a
time, especially with the coming of the Great Depression, the future of
the institution seemed uncertain. In 1932, however, Dr. J. McDowell
Richards was elected president. Under his able leadership, the seminary
experienced its greatest growth. The endowment was increased by over
five million dollars. The present Library, Georgia Hall, Florida Hall, three
student apartment buildings, and thirteen faculty homes were built. The
faculty was increased from six to twenty-one full-time members and the
student body quadrupled. Following President Richards' retirement, Dr.
C. Benton Kline served as president until 1975 when he resigned to
return to active teaching. Dr. J. Davison Philips, pastor of the Decatur
Presbyterian Church, assumed the presidency on January 1, 1976.

The Synods of Florida, Mid-South and Southeast control and support
Columbia Seminary, and from her derive much of the strength of
their leadership.

PURPOSE

Columbia Theological Seminary is an instrument of the Church, and
its purpose and programs are formed in relation to the mission of the
Church. Since the work of the Church is dependent in large degree upon
its leaders, the seminary is a graduate professional school engaged in
preparing men and women for Church leadership. As such it is an edu-
cational institution, preparing persons for encounter with the intellectual
problems of our world in such a way that they will be worthy of the
respect of those to whom they witness. At the same time, it is also a
professional school and, thus, focuses on the competences and skills

necessary to the practice of ministry. In each dimension of its life, the
seminary seeks to facilitate the personal growth of students, and thereby
to deepen their love for Christ, to encourage them in spiritual maturity
and to inspire them with a zeal for service.

COLUMBIA'S COMMITMENTS

Three basic commitments have marked and continue to mark Colum-
bia Seminary's program.

The first commitment is to Biblical authority. Faculty members all
affirm that the Bible is the word of God, the only infallible rule of faith
and practice. All our teaching and ministry grows out of this commit-
ment. So we require serious study of the Old and New Testaments in
the Hebrew and Greek. Theology and ethics are based on the Biblical
ground. Student's preaching is measured by its faithfulness to the Bibli-
cal text. Our constant appeal is to the Scripture as it is attested to be
the word of God by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit.

The second commitment is to doctrinal fidelity. All regular faculty
members are ordained officers in the Presbyterian Church. Students study
the major creeds and confessions of the Reformed tradition. The funda-
mental affirmations of that tradition stand at the center of the educational
experience, as faculty and students seek to express them in terms that
speak to people who live in today's world.

The third commitment is to ecclesiastical loyalty. Columbia Semi-
nary was founded by the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia to
provide leadership for the Presbyterian Church and its program. Our
students study the polity of the church and the program of the General
Assembly, synods and presbyteries. Our teaching and our ministry
seek to be loyal to the Presbyterian Church, U.S., as it works out its
life and program under the doctrinal standards, the authority of Scrip-
ture, and the lordship of Jesus Christ, the head of the church.

These basic commitments are fulfilled today in a different educa-
tional style than in an earlier time. Indoctrination leads too often to
mere rote learning and to an uncreative and wooden ministry. Our
style of teaching and community is one of openness. The Biblical wit-
ness, the Reformed doctrine, and the church's program are presented
as vital options for today. Students are called to make their own com-
mitment to them as ministers of the Gospel.

We believe that those who enter the service of Jesus Christ must
do so out of a conviction which is their own. Only then can they be
the effective ministers of our Lord that our church and our world need
today.

ADMISSIONS INFORMATION

ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE

Students desiring admission to the BASIC DEGREE PROGRAM and
SPECIAL PROGRAMS should request an application from the Office of
Admissions. In addition to the completed application form, students
must furnish additional items, including transcripts, references, test
scores from the Graduate Record Exam, and a letter of endorsement
from one's home church. An interview with a member of the Admissions
Committee is required following submission of the application. This in-
terview is best done on our campus and you would be our guest during
your visit.

Due to the sequential nature of required courses, no applicants will
be admitted to the basic degree programs, except in July or September.
All students granted admission to Columbia Seminary will be asked to
submit a Letter of Intent.

Students admitted to the seminary will be provided a health form to
be filled out by a physician and an application for seminary housing.

An entering student may be placed on academic probation. Specific
conditions for achieving good standing will be stated. An entering stu-
dent who has not completed the Greek language requirement may be
denied admission or placed on probation.

Students desiring admission to an advanced degree program should
secure applications from the Director of Advanced Studies. Ordinarily a
basic divinity degree is required for entrance into the TH.M. PROGRAM,
the D.MIN. (in-ministry) or the S.T.D. PROGRAMS.

Specific admissions requirements for each degree are found below
in the Academic Information Section.

SPECIAL AND UNCLASSIFIED STUDENTS

Students meeting requirements for admission to the basic degree
program but not wishing to work toward a degree may be admitted as
special students to take courses for credit. Their program of study must
be approved by the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Unclassified students may be admitted to take courses of particular
interest for credit, if prerequisites for each course are satisfied. Course
selection must be approved by the Dean of Academic Affairs.

AUDITORS

Regular students, spouses of students, and other members of the
community are invited to audit courses, with the permission of the in-
structor and provided space is available in the course. Registration as an
auditor must be made through the office of the Dean of Academic
Affairs at the regular time for registration.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Students in good standing in other accredited seminaries may be
admitted after transcripts have been evaluated and their applications
approved by the Admissions Committee. These students must secure
a letter from their Dean of Students indicating that they are students in
good standing. Transfer students into the M.Div. program are expected
to spend a minimum of 3 fourteen-week semesters in residence. Transfer
students intending to enter the D.Min. (in-sequence) program ordinarily
are not allowed credit for more than the equivalent of one year of work
prior to entering the program.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Students whose native language is not English must include with
regular application data evidence of a score of 500 or more on the Test
of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Overseas students are ex-
pected to have the written recommendation of their denomination. Also,
a statement of the students' plans for future work in their native country
is required. All students are expected to provide a statement of available
finances for their graduate study. Columbia Seminary does not provide
scholarships to individuals for graduate study. Normally, international
students are accepted only for graduate work beyond the M.Div. level.

CONFERENCES

Each year two conferences on the ministry are held on the Columbia
campus. The College Conference invites college students, and recent
college graduates, who are considering the ministry to Columbia for a
weekend to attend classes, to meet in faculty homes, to talk with faculty,
staff and students, to worship with the seminary community, and to ex-
plore in more depth their own sense of call to ministry. Those who have
been out of college for several years or more and who are considering
a vocational change are also invited to the campus to explore the possi-
bilities of ministry during another Conference On Ministry, which is
usually in the Spring. For further information, write to the Director of
Admissions, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia 30031.

The Columbia Community is enriched through the presence of International Students.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Columbia provides a community setting for theological education. In
this context courses of study leading to both basic and advanced degrees
are offered. The Master of Divinity and the Doctor of Ministry (in-
sequence) are the first professional degrees. The Master of Theological
Studies is also a basic theological degree, but academic rather than pro-
fessional in orientation. Advanced degrees are the Master of Theology,
the Doctor of Ministry (in-ministry) and the Doctor of Sacred Theology.

BASIC DEGREES

Admission

Admission to the basic degree programs at Columbia Seminary usu-
ally requires a four-year degree from an accredited university or college
of arts and sciences, or its equivalent. Students without four years of pre-
seminary preparation are not eligible to earn degrees at the seminary
except by special action of the faculty. When requested to do so by
presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, students
without a university or college degree may be accepted for a special
course of study.

A major in one of the liberal arts fields is most helpful as preparation
for theological studies. Basic courses in philosophy, European and
American history, psychology, sociology, and English grammar and
literature form the foundation for seminary studies. Students with inade-
quate backgrounds in these areas may be required to take remedial
work or select particular electives within the seminary curriculum.

MASTER OF DIVINITY AND
DOCTOR OF MINISTRY DEGREE (IN-SEQUENCE)

At the time of entering, seminary students are admitted to "the first
professional degree program." This means either a three component
program leading to the Master of Divinity degree or a four component
program leading to the Doctor of Ministry (in-sequence) degree. The
first two components of both degrees involve a common program. The
academic courses and supervised ministry in these initial components
are designed to assist the student in developing intellectual tools and
professional skills to begin the practice of ministry. At the end of the
second component, students, together with their peers and faculty,
engage in a process of professional evaluation leading to admission to
degree candidacy. Strengths, areas of growth, and specific interests in
future ministry of the student are assessed so as to determine whether
he or she should proceed toward the Master of Divinity degree or toward
the Doctor of Ministry degree (in-sequence).

Students pursuing the Master of Divinity degree move to a third
component. Students qualifying for the Doctor of Ministry degree pro-

ceed to two further components, the first of which includes a twelve-
month period of supervised ministry in an approved setting. The final,
on-campus component involves, in addition to academic work, a series
of seminars enabling the student to reflect on his or her period of super-
vised ministry and to complete a written dissertation, including a project
of learnings during the ministry.

The term "components'' is used rather than "years" since the amount
of time a student takes to complete the component may be more or less
than an academic year. The A and B components represent the initial
common program for the first professional degrees. The C component
follows the professional assessment and represents the final stage leading
to the Master of Divinity degree. For students admitted to the Doctor of
Ministry degree at the time of the professional assessment, the D com-
ponent designates the twelve-month period of supervised ministry and the
E component the final, on-campus element.

Students may cross register for courses at Candler School of Theology,
the Interdenominational Theological Center or Erskine Seminary at no
additional charge.

Requirements for the M.Div. Degree

1. There must be on file with the seminary a complete and official
transcript of credits showing graduation with a bachelor's degree from
an accredited university or college of liberal arts and sciences, or its
equivalent.

2. The student must be admitted to degree candidacy at the end of
the B component. To qualify for candidacy the student must be engaged
in or have satisfied all the academic and supervised ministry require-
ments for the A and B components (as outlined on page 52) together
with enough electives to total 76 credits. The overall grade average must
be C or better.

3. The candidate must satisfactorily complete all the requirements of
the C component (as outlined on pages 52 and 53) with a total of 112
credits. The overall grade average must be C or better.

4. The student must pass a Bible content exam.

5. The faculty must be satisfied that the conduct and attitude of the
candidate is becoming a minister of the Gospel and that he or she gives
promise of useful service in the ministry or other Church vocation.

6. All bills to the seminary must be paid and assurance given that all
open accounts in the community and elsewhere have been satisfied.

Requirements for the D.Min. Degree (in-sequence)

1. There must be on file with the seminary a complete and official
transcript of credits showing graduation with a bachelor's degree from
an accredited university or college of liberal arts and sciences, or its
equivalent.

2. The student must be admitted to degree candidacy at the end of
the B component. To qualify for candidacy the student must have satis-
fied all the academic and supervised ministry requirements for the A

8

and B components (as outlined on page 52) together with enough elec-
tives to total 76 credits. The overall grade average must be 2.0 (on a
scale of 3) or better.

3. The candidate must satisfactorily engage in a twelve-month period
of supervised ministry for which a total of 20 credits is given.

4. The candidate must satisfactorily complete all other requirements
of the D and E components (as outlined on page 53) with a total of 138
credits. The overall grade average for these components must be B or
better.

5. The student must pass a Bible content exam.

6. All bills to the seminary must be paid and assurance given that all
open accounts in the community and elsewhere have been satisfied.

7. The faculty must be satisfied that the conduct and attitude of the
candidate is becoming a minister of the Gospel and that he or she gives
promise of useful service in the ministry or other Church vocation.

Professional Assessment

The Professional Assessment is a major review of the student's poten-
tial for ministry that occurs after the completion of the major require-
ments of the A and B components. This assessment will usually be sched-
uled in the spring term of the B component or the following September
and is a condition for the student's beginning work in either the C or D
components. Detailed guidelines for the assessment process are given to
the student well in advance, including criteria, data to be considered,
composition of the assessment committee, intent of the interview, and
possible recommendations to the faculty which might ensue. Admission
to candidacy for ministry by a presbytery or appropriate church body
must be completed before the assessment.

The admission to degree candidacy for either the M.Div. or D.Min.
(in-sequence) degrees emerges from the professional assessment and
must be approved by the faculty. At that time a student may be required
to take a specific course or courses as a part of his or her designated
electives.

Minister to Youth

Students in the M.Div. program can take course work and supervised
ministry that will provide them with the basic concepts and skills to en-
gage in ministry with youth. Interested students should see the Dean of
Academic Affairs.

Certified Minister of Christian Education

Students in the M.Div. program can take a set of Christian education
courses within their elective hours that will lead them to certification by
the Presbyterian Church in the U.S., following their ordination, as a
Minister of Christian Education. Students interested in this speciality
should see the Dean of Academic Affairs.

MASTER OF THEOLOGICAL STUDIES
The purpose of this program is to provide systematic study of the

Christian faith for people who are not preparing for ordination to pro-
fessional Christian ministry. It is designed for students who want to
broaden and deepen their understanding of the faith so that they can be
more knowledgeable and effective Christians as lay people in the Church
and in their lay vocations, and for others who are preparing for further
academic work in a theological discipline (toward a Ph.D., for instance.)
The MTS will not qualify persons for the ordained ministry, since this
program does not include training in the practice of ministry or in other
areas prerequisite for ordination. The Seminary hopes with this program
not only to offer advanced study in theological disciplines to lay people
in the Church, but also to enrich the Seminary community by the pres-
ence and challenge of students who bring to it the questions and de-
mand for excellence of searching, thinking, non-professional Christians.

Students, after consultation with the Director of the M.T.S. program
and professors, select one of the following five fields for specialization:
Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, Theology or Ethics.
A faculty adviser from the field of specialization is assigned by the Di-
rector of the MTS program to provide guidance in the selection of
courses and to coordinate the giving of the comprehensive examinations.
Language requirements are determined by the field of specialization.

Requirements for the M.T.S. Degree

1. Students must earn a total of 52 credits. This shall include at least
one course in each of the five fields of specialization; an additional
course in three of the five fields; a minimum of 17 credits in the chosen
field of specialization; and a minimum of 9 credits in a cognate field.
Other requirements may be established by the Area in which the field of
specialization falls.

2. Students must pass a written comprehensive examination designed,
administered, and graded by faculty members in the field of specializa-
tion. The purpose of the examination is to test the student's capacity to
function knowledgeably and critically in the field of specialization, to
relate methodology and/or content from the cognate field to the field
of specialization, and to think and write clearly. The examination nor-
mally comes at the conclusion of the student's course work and usually
involves three or more months of study.

3. All work must be completed within five years from the date of
admission.

ADVANCED DEGREES

Columbia offers three programs leading to advanced degrees. Each
builds on the M.Div., degree and in the case of the D.Min. (in-ministry)
and the S.T.D. also on necessary ministry experience which has ensued
since the reception of the M.Div.

In addition to the resources of the faculty and library on Columbia's

10

campus, graduate students are able to draw upon the resources of the
Atlanta area. The S. T. D. program and D.Min. (in-ministry) programs are
administered by the Graduate Professional Studies Committee of the
Atlanta Theological Association, which coordinates and augments the
resources of Candler School of Theology, Emory University, the Inter-
denominational Theological Center, and Columbia. Th.M. students may
also include in their program studies at these other seminaries.

The resources of the Atlanta community are also available to Col-
umbia graduate students. Pastoral counseling programs in several set-
tings are made available through the Georgia Association for Pastoral
Care. The Urban Training Organization of Atlanta provides resources in
the area of urban problems and urban ministries. Numerous national and
regional offices of denominational and interdenominational agencies are
located in Atlanta. Other educational opportunities are available at
Emory University, Georgia State University, and colleges in the area.

MASTER OF THEOLOGY

Admission

Application for admission to the Th.M. program is made through the
office of the Director of Advanced Studies. The M.Div. degree from an
accredited seminary or divinity school, or its academic equivalent, is
required. Ordinarily a B average in an applicant's college and seminary
program is considered a minimum standard for admission. Except for the
Th.M. in pastoral counseling or pastoral supervision, a knowledge of both
the Hebrew and Greek languages is prerequisite for the program. If an
applicant's M.Div. course required less than these two languages, he or
she may substitute an approved language for one of the above languages.

Admission to Candidacy

Students seeking a degree in Biblical, historical-doctrinal, or pastoral
studies must be admitted to candidacy by vote of the faculty. Applica-
tion involves the proposal of a thesis committee composed of a chair-
person from the faculty and two other members and the proposal of a
thesis topic, previously approved by the chairperson. This information
must be given in writing to the Advanced Studies Committee prior to
October 15th. The faculty meeting early in November is the deadline for
the formal admission to candidacy if the student expects to receive the
degree at commencement the following spring.

Requirements for the Degree

In order to qualify for the Th.M. degree, a student must complete
the following within five years (six years for Pastoral Counseling):

1. at least 24 semester credits of academic work at the advanced level
(courses numbered in the 600s) with grades that average not less than B.
This academic work shall involve the equivalent of at least one academic
year in partial residence.

11

2. an acceptable thesis, which shall constitute six additional credits.
For students planning to graduate at the spring commencement April
1st is the deadline for provisional approval of the thesis by the thesis
committee and May 1st for final approval of the completed thesis.

3. an oral examination, which shall be given after the thesis has been
completed.

Specialization

Each student seeking the Th.M. degree will concentrate his or her
studies in one of the following fields: Biblical studies, historical-doctrinal
studies, pastoral studies, pastoral counseling, or pastoral supervision. At
least 12 credits, in addition to the thesis, must be taken in the field in
which the student specializes. At least six credits must be taken outside
the field of specialization. Credit for work taken at the basic level
(courses numbered lower than 600) must be approved prior to the taking
of the courses by the chairperson of the thesis committee (if appointed),
the Director of Advanced Studies, and the Dean of Academic Affairs. In
no case shall more than 4 credits of basic level work be counted toward
the degree.

The Th.M. in pastoral counseling and the Th.M. in pastoral super-
vision have additional requirements:

Pastoral Counseling

The beginning year of this program requires the successful comple-
tion of an intern year in one of the institutions accredited by the Associ-
ation for Clinical Pastoral Education.

By the end of the first year, if the student is adjudged sufficiently
competent by a multidisciplinary professional committee, he or she is
admitted to the counseling practicum for counseling supervision at one
of the three practicums. These are located at the Georgia Association of
Pastoral Care, the Atlanta Psychiatric Center, and the Pastoral Services of
Georgia Baptist Hospital. Sufficient supervision of counseling, intake, etc.,
is provided to qualify the candidate upon satisfactory completion for
membership in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, Inc.

In addition to the above, the student must complete 24 credits of
advanced level academic work at a B average or better.

A research project (non-credit) completes the requirements for the
degree.

Pastoral Supervision

This specialization of the Th.M. program has been developed for
students seeking to become certified chaplain supervisors. An intern
year must be successfully completed in one of the affiliate institutions of
the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education.

The total number of academic credits of advanced level work re-

12

quired is 24 at a B average or better.

In addition, a residency year must also be satisfactorily completed.
The year may be elected in any institution accredited by the Association
for Clinical Pastoral Education. Certification as acting supervisor by
any region of the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education will com-
plete the requirements for the degree.

THE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY (IN-MINISTRY)

A Doctor of Ministry degree program for the working minister has
been established by the schools participating in the Atlanta Theological
Association. The program has been designed to continue the education
of persons for their practice of ministry in the church and in related in-
stitutional settings. It provides an advanced, yet flexible, education for
those whose vocation as servants of people and servants of Jesus Christ
implies their further disciplined reflection upon, and possibly their
further specialization within, their own ministry.

Admission

Each applicant should hold an M.Div. or equivalent degree with a
superior academic record and/or superior professional performance, and
should have at least one year, preferably three, of professional experi-
ence since receiving the basic degree.

Each applicant must submit a personal statement of not more than
ten double-spaced pages giving biographical data, academic and minis-
try achievements, interests, goals, and personal purposes for the D.Min.
program that will illustrate continued development.

Advanced standing on the basis of post-M.Div. courses in other pro-
grams will be determined by the Advanced Studies Committee of the
Seminary.

Program of Study

Although it may be spread over a period up to four years, the pro-
gram of study requires participation in the equivalent of more than a full
year of academic and clinical courses. The doctoral project is executed
after the completion of these courses and usually as part of the ongoing
professional work of the minister.

Thirty-six semester credits are required, distributed as follows:

Six (6) credits for the core seminar in contemporary ministry and
career assessment;

Six (6) credits for an approved ministry under supervision experience
equivalent to one full time quarter;

Eighteen (18) credits of advanced courses;

Six (6) credits for the doctoral project.

To assist both personal development and also course and project
planning, each student secures a faculty adviser and a doctoral commit-
tee. After completion of course work and before the execution of the
doctoral project, the student will take an examination covering a range
of subjects designated by his doctoral committee.

13

DOCTOR OF SACRED THEOLOGY IN PASTORAL COUNSELING

This degree is offered through the Atlanta Theological Association by
the Candler School of Theology, Columbia Theological Seminary, and
the Interdenominational Theological Center. It is administered by the
Atlanta Theological Association which has responsibility for approving
admission to the program, establishing curriculum offerings, and cer-
tifying candidates for the award of degrees through the S.T.D. Commit-
tee.

This S. T. D. program, focused on pastoral counseling, concentrates
upon the counseling, guidance, and consultation aspects of the minister's
professional function. The more specialized nature of the program is re-
flected in admission requirements and the program of studies.

The purpose of the Doctor of Sacred Theology in pastoral counseling
is to prepare clergy to serve as pastoral counselors in a local church or
on the staff of a community mental health center, to serve as consul-
tants to their fellow clergy, and to offer training in pastoral care and
counseling at various levels. The program is designed to prepare students
for membership as Fellows in the American Association of Pastoral
Counselors.

Admission

Applicants must hold the Master of Divinity or equivalent degree
from an accredited institution. The admission process includes: 1) an
assessment of the applicant's academic grades and professional perform-
ance, 2) his statement of purpose, 3) references and other materials sup-
plied with the application, and 4) a personal interview with the director
of the program and conducted by the S.T.D. Admissions Committee.

In addition, applicants must have significant experience in ministry
(approximately three years' full time employment after completion of the
first theological degree), in clinical pastoral education (usually four con-
secutive units), and one or more personal interviews with the pastoral
counseling and other faculties.

A student who, though otherwise acceptable, has not had courses in
personality development and pastoral care equivalent to those taught in
the participating seminaries of the Atlanta Theological Association, must
take these courses without credit during the first year of his residence.

Each student admitted to the program shall have one member of the
pastoral counseling faculty as advisor.

Program of Study

The studies included within the program will help the student (1)
gain an advanced understanding of appropriate theological and theoreti-
cal concepts; (2) learn under qualified supervision the application of
these concepts in pastoral counseling and how to promote professional
integration of theory and skills in both pastoral counseling and pastoral
guidance; and (3) design and execute a research project appropriate to
his or her professional practice which will give evidence of his or her
creative ability to contribute to this aspect of pastoral counseling.

In carrying out this program, which must not exceed six years, the
total of 9 semester hours; Pastoral Counseling Practicums carrying a total
of at least 18 semester hours; and Elective Courses totaling a minimum
of 27 semester hours of credit.

The Core Seminars, carrying three semester hours each, are offered
in the following sequence, beginning in the Fall of the year of entry:
I "Personality Theory;" II "Diagnosis and Change," and III "Pastoral
Theological Method."

In addition, the student enters the pastoral counseling practicum at
the time he or she enters the program and continues until judged com-
petent as a counselor.

When the student has completed these 54 semester hours of work,
with a B average (GPA of 2.00 or better) he or she may apply to take the
Comprehensive Examination, which tests the competence in both the
content and performance of pastoral counseling. The content areas in
which the student will be examined include:

a) THEOLOGY, with the foci upon theological method and pastoral
theology;

b) PSYCHOLOGY, including theories of personality and develop-
ment, psychodynamics of behavior and of religious experience,
and theories of counseling and psychotherapy;

c) SOCIO-CULTURAL DIMENSIONS of Pastoral Care, including per-
sonality and culture, group dynamics, sociology of religion, mar-
riage and family dynamics;

d) PASTORAL CARE, including history of pastoral care, ministerial
role, guidance at the passage points of life, ministry in crisis situa-
tions, and referrals;

e) SUPERVISION, as a definable type of learning, inter-professional
and understanding of supervision, pastoral identity and authority
in supervision.

The performance areas in which the student will be examined in-
clude:

a) evaluation interviewing

b) pastoral counseling

c) supervision

d) professional maturity within the role of pastoral counselor

e) ability to relate pastoral counseling to the total ministerial role.
The student will then engage in an approved dissertation which dem-
onstrates ability to utilize theological and theoretical knowledge in re-

15

lation to some problem of his or her professional practice, and which
contributes useful findings and insights to this area of theological investi-
gation. He or she will prepare a written report and undergo an oral
examination on the dissertation.

EVANGELISM EMPHASIS

In 1981 Columbia Seminary began a new emphasis in evangelism;
one which includes classroom instruction, and consultation and model
building in congregations and presbyteries, along with regional training
conferences. This emphasis has been made possible, in part, through a
grant from The Outreach Foundation.

The courses of instruction aim at equipping seminarians, ministers,
and lay persons with the understanding and skills to practice an effective
evangelism which is faithful to the whole gospel. Instruction in evangel-
istic method and strategies is centered in seminars and classes offered on
campus, but also involves participation in advanced degree program
courses offered off campus.

The professor of evangelism also provides consultation on church
growth and outreach to individual congregations. The central thrust of
such consultation involves designing effective models in specific situa-
tions.

In addition to instruction and consultation this emphasis offers to
interested presbyteries workshops and conferences in effective evangel-
ism meant for both clergy and lay persons.

For further information write to Evangelism Emphasis, Columbia
Theological Seminary, Decatur, GA 30031. A tear-off card is provided at
the back of this catalog.

CURRICULUM

The teaching program at Columbia is arranged in four areas: Biblical,
historical-doctrinal, pastoral, and supervised ministry. Studies in each of
these areas are combined with interdisciplinary studies in the curriculum
for the first professional degrees. While classroom instruction is basic to
these first degree programs, their goal is to equip students to continue
their education independently. The resources of the library, the structure
of course work, and independent study courses encourage early realiza-
tion of that goal.

Studies in the BIBLICAL area seek to help the students understand
and interpret an ancient book, the Bible, in a world where people go to
the moon. To do this these studies are concerned with developing tools
and skills to understand the ancient world, its language, history, and
thought, and tools and skills to grasp the meaning of the Bible for con-

16

temporary people. Greek and Hebrew are required so that students can
gain facility in handling the original Biblical languages and in under-
standing the text in its native tongue. Courses in the area provide an
opportunity for interpreting the text and for experience in articulating
the message in a theological fashion.

HISTORICAL-DOCTRINAL studies help students understand the past
so that they can understand the present and how we got here. Students
engaged in these studies also struggle to form their own theology and to
discover what it means for them to be Christian today. Since Columbia
stands within the Reformed tradition, historical-doctrinal studies are
concerned not only with right thinking, but also with the relation of
Christian faith and doctrine to all the arenas of life. Therefore, studies in
this area engage students in consideration of the social, political, econom-
ic, and cultural life of today. In historical-doctrinal studies students ac-
quire the tools they will need throughout their lives for dealing theolog-
ically with themselves and the world around them, tools that will enable
graduates to lead the church in a prophetic and reconciling way as it
works out its mission in the world around it.

The PASTORAL area centers on the functioning of the person as a
minister, and its concern is to train students to be ministers and to lead
other persons in ministering. Studies in this area consider the dynamics
of the minister's role as pastor, evangelist, leader of worship, preacher,
teacher, and administrator. Since we do not fully know today the shape
of the ministry of tomorrow, the concern of these studies is to train
students to understand the issues involved, to help them see their own
strengths and weaknesses, and then to develop a flexibility that will en-
able them to take their Biblical and theological understanding and deal
with whatever issues they face during their ministry.

SUPERVISED MINISTRY serves an integrative function for the curricu-
lum. Through its structure students are involved in the actual practice of
ministry under competent supervision. Through experiential, relational,
inductive learning, the student explores, within a peer group, the forms,
styles, contents, and concepts of ministry. Not only does the student put
into practice what has been learned through studies in the Biblical,
historical-doctrinal, and pastoral areas, but these studies are integrated
with the practice of ministry and the personhood of the student.

Columbia's faculty recognizes that the METHOD OF TEACHING also
makes a significant contribution to learning. Consequently, a variety of
teaching methods are employed. Team teaching, which enables the
professors themselves to participate more fully in the learning process,
and which effectively brings different kinds of competence together in
the classroom, is widely used. Because small groups are a part of most
courses, creative interchange between student and student and between
students' peers and professors is the mark of instruction at Columbia.
Field trips, simulations, particularly seminars and use of AVs (especially
video), also are examples of a wide variety of teaching methods.

The faculty reserves the right to modify individual course require-
ments within a degree program; such changes to be effective the next

17

time such courses are offered or at a later date as determined by the
faculty. Degree programs and their major requirements will remain un-
changed for students entering that program; but changes may be made
at any time to be effective for all entering students in the next academic
year.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

Listed on the following pages are the courses taught during 1980-81
and proposed by the faculty of Columbia Theological Seminary for 1981-
82. Changes in faculty situations and in student needs inevitably will
necessitate modification from term to term resulting in the failure to offer
some electives and the substitution of others.

The letter in the course designation is determined by the area in
which it is offered: B for Biblical; HD for Historical-Doctrinal; P for
Pastoral; I for Interdisciplinary; and SM for Supervised Ministry. Courses
whose numbers are prefaced by ATA are offered by the Atlanta Theo-
logical Association. The hundred's digit refers to the level of the course
and whether it is required for the basic degree program or elective:

100s are required courses for A component students

200s are required courses for B component students

300s are required courses for C component students

400s are required courses for D and E component students

500s are elective courses designed primarily for A and B component
students but open to advanced students by permission of the in-
structor.

600s are elective courses designed for advanced students (C, D, E, and
graduate students) but open to others when prerequisites are met,
when space is available, and by permission of the instructor.

The teen's digit identifies the particular academic discipline within
the area, except in Interdisciplinary and Supervised Ministry courses.

ACADEMIC NOTES

SCHEDULE

The academic year is composed of two long semesters of fourteen
weeks and a short January term of four weeks. During the summer the
seminary offers a full program of supervised ministry, independent study
under the guidance of a member of the faculty, an eight-week course in
beginning Greek, and a four-week summer session designed primarily
for graduate students and ministers interested in continuing education.
The sequential nature of the curriculum for first degree students makes
it essential that they begin their work only with the summer course in
beginning Greek or with the fall term if they have already mastered
Greek.

INTRODUCTORY TERM

An orientation program is required of all entering students during the
days preceding the regular opening of the seminary in the fall. It offers
an opportunity for new students to get acquainted with one another and
with student body leaders and members of the faculty. Tests are ad-
ministered to help new and transfer students identify and understand
particular strengths and deficiencies of preparation for theological in-
struction. This program is without extra expense to the students, except
for a charge for board and housing.

Returning students are also required to participate in the introduc-
tory term, including a de-briefing of the summer supervised ministry or
intern program, a discussion of procedures for receiving a call to a
congregation, presbytery relationships, and the like.

SENIOR WORSHIP

Graduating students in the C and E components are required to lead
worship and preach for the community ordinarily on Monday evenings.
The experience is evaluated by a group of students and faculty. Students
in the A component give written response to a required number of ser-
vices as preparation for their work in P141.

FLEXIBILITY

Students who have strong backgrounds in certain particular fields of
the curriculum, or who demonstrate unusual proficiency in their work,
are given opportunities for special placement or for independent work.
Requests for flexibility in a student's program should be made to the
Dean of Academic Affairs. Two opportunities for flexibility are available.

1. Students may be permitted advanced placement in the A and B
components if they can satisfactorily demonstrate that they have already
achieved the objectives of a given course. This means that they may be
exempt from the course and permitted to take an advanced course in
the area.

47

2. Academically qualified students may be permitted to engage in
independent study as a route to the establishment of competence in a
required course rather than taking one or several required courses.

CREDIT VALUATION AND COURSE LOAD

While the educational progress of the student cannot be ultimately
measured by the number of credits earned, a system of course valuation
is necessary to assure balance in the curriculum. Columbia estimates a
semester credit as approximately 42 to 45 working hours, except for cer-
tain supervised ministry and clinical programs whose work investment
is determined by the contract for the particular course. The satisfactory
completion of a course, however, is determined not by time invested
but goals and objectives achieved.

Each student is required to consult with his or her faculty adviser
before registering for courses. The maximum number of credits a student
in the basic degree program may take in the fourteen week terms is 16,
unless he or she has a B average in which case he or she may take no
more than 17. In the four-week January term a student may register for
no more than four credits.

The M.Div. degree normally requires three full academic years in
residence, plus a summer term for SM210. The D.Min. (in-sequence)
degree normally requires three full academic years in residence, a sum-
mer term for SM210, and a twelve month internship in a ministry setting.

The M.T.S. usually requires two full academic years. Advanced de-
grees involve the student in part-time study for a minimum of two years.

GRADING

At the close of each term grades are given to FIRST DEGREE STU-
DENTS according to the following three quality points system. A grade
report is sent to each student and his or her presbytery. For A through E
component students, special, M.T.S., and unclassified students the grad-
ing system is:

A 3.0 Exceptional work, showing creativity, mastery of the

material, and skill in organizing and expressing ideas.

A 2.7 Outstanding work, showing creativity, mastery of the
material, or organization and expression as well as
above superior in other respects.

B+ 2.3 Superior work, showing creativity, mastery of the ma-
terial and organization and expression but not ex-
ceptional or outstanding in any of these.

B 2.0 Superior work, showing creativity, mastery of the ma-

terial or organization and expression as well as no
deficiencies in any other respect.

B 1.7 Above standard work, showing mastery of the material
and organization and expression.

C+ 1.3 Slightly above graduation standard.

C 1.0 Requirement has been adequately fulfilled.

48

C 0.7 Below graduation standard.

D 0.0 Serious deficiencies in mastery of the material or or-

ganization and expression or cumulative deficiencies
in both.

F 1.0 Unacceptable work.

An E is given when a portion of the course requirements such as
a major paper, an examination or a project are unacceptable to the
instructor. Unless such work is completed in acceptable form within the
time extension, the E becomes a final grade of F. An F is given when the
total work of the course is unacceptable or when work is not completed
within the term or within an approved extension.

C and E component students during their final component may
choose to take up to six elective credits for H/S/U, with the permission
of the instructor, if permission is granted at the beginning of the term.

E component students receive H/S/U for 1411, 412 and 413.
H honors for work of exceptionally distinguished quality

S satisfactory, for work which represents sufficient mas-

tery of the content of the course to merit recommen-
dation for graduation
U unsatisfactory, for work which represents insufficient

mastery of the content of the course to merit recom-
mendation for graduation

For Th.M., S.T.D., and D.Min. (in ministry) students:

A excellent, 3 quality points per credit

B good, 2 quality points per credit

C passing, 1 quality point per credit

F failure, minus 1 quality point per credit

GRADUATION WITH HONORS

M.Div. degree students who have earned at least a 2.60 grade point
average on course work will, with the approval of the faculty, be awarded
the degree "with distinction."

ATTENDANCE

Each professor has the responsibility of setting attendance require-
ments for classes according to the nature of the course. All professors
make known their requirements on the first day of class and notify the
Dean of Students when, in their judgment, any students fail to meet
these requirements. Continuing not to meet attendance requirements
will result in a lowered or failing grade.

PROBATION AND UNACCEPTABLE WORK (1.0 G.P.A.)

Any student who fails to make a C average any term except the first
places himself/herself on probation for the next term, and if he/she fails
to bring his/her average up during that term, he/she will be dropped as
a student. In the event the student's overall average is C or better, he/she

49

will be permitted to remain as a student for another term on probation.

A U may be remedied by (1) further work on the course, (2) re-
peating the course, (3) taking an elective course relating to the area of
deficiency. A U given for unexcused late work shall normally require
additional work. Any student whose work is unsatisfactory will be placed
on probation, and if he/she fails to show improvement in the next term
he/she will be dropped as a student.

Two temporary notations may be given in certain cases. "In-Progress"
(IP) is used for courses which by design stretch for more than one term.
"Incomplete" (Inc) is used for late work when a written excuse has been
approved by the Professor and the Dean of Students. Further provisions
for the "Incomplete" can be found in the Student Handbook. Neither
temporary notation carries credit.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Students are encouraged to design and pursue their own program of
independent research and study as a part of the elective offerings. Con-
tracts may be drawn up with faculty members teaching in the area of the
student's interest for reading courses and research projects. The nature
and extent of the work projected and completed determine the amount
of credit given. Such courses provide students the opportunity to investi-
gate areas of specialized interest in which no regular electives are offered.

ORDINATION EXAMS

Students who become candidates for ordination in the Presbyterian
Church U.S. are required to take written examinations administered
either by the presbytery under which the student is a candidate or the
presbytery in which he or she expects to accept a call. The written exams
are in the areas of Bible, theology, the sacraments, and Church polity.
There is ample opportunity within the regular seminary curriculum to
take course work preparatory to the exams. Students are urged to take
the examinations at the completion of the C or E Component.

SUMMER GREEK SCHOOL

Entering students in the first professional degree program are required
to have a reading knowledge of New Testament Greek. For those students
who are not prepared in Greek the seminary offers a six credit course,
B021, during the summer. The course runs for an eight-week period and
meets daily, usually each morning, Monday through Friday, for three
hours, with small group afternoon tutorial sessions. Students wishing to
transfer the course to another institution where New Testament Greek
is accepted for credit also can receive six semester credits for the course.
Textbooks for Summer Greek School are available from the Columbia
Bookstore at a discount. Students who have successfully completed two

50

years of Greek in college or who pass a Greek qualifying examination are
exempted from B021; in such case the requirements for the degree shall
be reduced by 6 hours.

SUMMER SESSION

The Summer Session, a four week period in July and August, is meant
to provide usual and unusual educational opportunities, combining the
faculty with invited instructors whose special skills are particularly useful
to practicing ministers.

Purposes

to offer credit courses for D.Min. (in-ministry) students

to provide opportunities for practicing pastors and other ministers
to engage in continuing education aimed at further development of
professional skills

to assist ministers in assessing their professional skills

to provide laity with opportunities for development of skills needed
in their work in church and world

to allow ministers and selected students to take basic and advanced
degree courses

to provide clergy and laity with opportunities to understand the
concerns and priorities before the PCUS

Courses will take into account the concerns of practicing professionals
rather than the needs of students preparing for practice of ministry. Dis-
cussions, workshops, analysis, projects and learning by exploration will
be normative.

For further information write to the Director of the Summer Session.

President J. Davison Philips welcomes Dr. Ben C. Johnson, Associate Professor of
Evangelism, to the Columbia Community.

Prior to completion of the B Component a Professional Assessment is held for each
student. This is a major review of the student's potential for ministry, and results in
recommendations for further work at the B Component level, or admission to candidacy
for the M.Div. degree and the C Component, or admission to candidacy for the D.Min.
(in sequence) degree and the D/E Components.

GENERAL EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION

THE JOHN BULOW CAMPBELL LIBRARY

At the heart of the educative effort of the Seminary is the Library.
Named for John Bulow Campbell, an Atlanta Director and benefactor
during the 1930% the library is an integral part of the teaching program.
It seeks to extend the work of the classroom in breadth and depth, to
provide for student and faculty research, and to encourage reading be-
yond course requirements. Thus, it is a perpetual opportunity for and
challenge to growth.

Completed in 1952 and recently renovated to include an Audio/
Visual room, a Rare Book room, and a lounge, the modern building has
study facilities for 120, including 32 study carrels. The collection num-
bers more than 75,000: books, periodicals, church records, tapes, cas-
settes, microforms, transparencies, kits, paintings, and phonograph rec-
ords. It is a well-balanced selection of older and more modern works and
is particularly strong in Biblical studies, Biblical archaeology, Patristics, the
Reformation, Pastoral Counseling, and Presbyterianism. Reformation
sources include the Calvin and Melanchthon sections of the Corpus Re-
formatorum and the Weimar edition of Luther.

ATLANTA THEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION

Through the Atlanta Theological Association, Columbia enjoys aca-
demic and professsional affiliations with Candler School of Theology,
Erskine Theological Seminary, and Interdeminominational Theological
Center, and with the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care and the
Urban Training Organization of Atlanta. The Association develops and
coordinates educational programs and resources of these member insti-
tutions, which include approximately 800 students, 85 faculty, and
600,000 volumes. (Students and scholars also have access to the holdings
of sixteen libraries in the Atlanta-Athens area which comprise the Uni-
versity Center in Georgia.) Among significant and promising cooperative
endeavors are, in addition to the Doctor of Sacred Theology and Doctor
of Ministry (in-ministry) degree programs, cross registration, sharing of
faculty, library and lectureship resources, interseminary courses and ex-
perimental programs in various academic disciplines and professional
specializations.

LECTURES

Each year two significant lectureships are sponsored at Columbia.
One is the Thomas Smyth Foundation Lectures, begun through a bequest
of the Rev. Thomas Smyth, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of
Charleston, S. C. from 1831 to 1873. Since 1911 distinguished scholars
from the United States and abroad have presented lectures on a variety
of themes and issues. Recent Smyth Lecturers have been Dr. Jaroslav
Pelikan, Dr. Austin C. Lovelace, Dr. Krister Stendahl, Dr. Jan M. Lochman,
and the Rev. C. Frederick Buechner.

Another series, the Alumni/ae Lectures, brings to the campus theo-
logians and ministers who address the seminary community, graduates,
and interested pastors during the annual Columbia Forum. Recent speak-

54

ers have been Dr. Wallace M. Alston, Jr., Dr. John H. Leith, Dr. William
V. Arnold, and Dr. Neely C. McCarter. Currently both series, together
with a guest preacher and colloquia, are offered during the Columbia
Forum, following the January Term. The preacher in 1981 was Dr. Ian
Pitt-Watson.

AWARDS AND PRIZES

Through the gifts of alumni and friends of the seminary several
prizes and awards have been established to recognize outstanding aca-
demic achievements by first professional degree students.

The Wilds Book Prize, initially established by Louis T. Wilds of
Columbia, South Carolina, provides a cash award to the graduating
student selected by the faculty for the highest distinction in his or her
academic work over the entire seminary program.

The Lyman and Myki Mobley Prize in Biblical Scholarship has been
established in memory of Donald Lyman Mobley (CTS, class of 1977)
and Myki Powell Mobley (Candler School of Theology, class of 1977). It
is given each year to the student or faculty member doing exemplary
work in the field of Biblical scholarship as it relates to the worship and
work of the Church.

The Paul T. Fuhrmann Book Prize in Church History was established
in 1962 by an alumnus of the Seminary to honor the late Dr. Paul T.
Fuhrmann, former Professor of Church History. The award is made an-
nually to the student who has shown the most outstanding achievement
in Church History.

The Florrie Wilkes Sanders Prize in Theology is given by the family
of Florrie Wilkes Sanders of Atlanta, Georgia. It is awarded each year to
the student presenting the best paper showing sound theological schol-
arship and relevance to the needs of Christian people in the contempo-
rary world. Special attention is given to the papers relating theology to
the education, professions and avocations of lay people.

The Emma Gaillard Boyce Memorial Award is made annually by the
Rev. David Boyce, an alumnus of the seminary, in honor of his mother,
a devoted music teacher, choir director, church musician and minis-
ter's wife. It is awarded to the student writing the best paper on the
creative use of music in worship.

Two Abdullah Awards are given each year by the Rev. Gabriel
Abdullah, an alumnus of the seminary. One is given for the best paper
setting forth a plan for the teaching of Bible in the public schools; the
second for the best paper designing a program for the development of
moral and spiritual values in the public schools.

The Indiantown Country Church Award was established by the family
of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Stuckey in their honor to highlight the work of
ministry in churches in rural areas. The prize is awarded annually to a
student who has done outstanding work in the summer in a rural minis-
try.

The Presbytery of St. Andrew Women of the Church Preaching Award
is given for the best sermon written by a student during the academic
year.

55

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS

The Seminary awards each year one or more fellowships to outstand-
ing graduates completing the M.Div. or D.Min. (in-sequence) degree. The
purpose of these fellowships is to recognize superior intellectual
achievement demonstrated during the course of the regular seminary
program and to provide a modest support for graduate work beyond
the first professional degree. They must be used toward an accredited
doctoral graduate degree program in which the recipient engages in
the scholarly pursuit of an academic theological discipline.

The Fannie Jordan Bryan Fellowships were established through a
generous legacy left to Columbia Theological Seminary by the late Mrs.
Fannie Jordan Bryan of Columbia, South Carolina. The Alumni/ae Fellow-
ships were initiated by the Senior Class of 1941 and continue to be
funded through the operating expense budget of the seminary. The
Anna Church Whitner Memorial Fellowships are given periodically from
a legacy left to the seminary in 1928 by the late William C. Whitner,
of Rock Hill, S.C., in memory of his mother.

COLUMBIA SCHOLARSHIPS

Qualified men and women planning to attend seminary or seeking to
explore the possibility of entering the ministry may apply for a Columbia
Scholarship for study at Columbia Theological Seminary. These scholar-
ships are for persons who have shown significant academic and leader-
ship abilities during their undergraduate study. The scholarships are for
one academic year only.

To be eligible applicants must be citizens of the United States or
Canada. They must have received a bachelor's degree not more than
three years prior to the application or have academic standing as a gradu-
ating senior. The scholarships will be awarded to persons having high
academic achievement and leadership abilities. A personal interview
is required.

All recipients are required to enroll full-time for one academic year
at Columbia Seminary.

Up to seven awards will be made. Each grant is for $4000. An addi-
tional $400 grant is made for those attending Greek School. If a recipient
receives another scholarship, an appropriate adjustment will be made in
the stipend of the Columbia Scholarship.

Application for a Columbia scholarship is made through the Office
of Admissions at Columbia Seminary. Selection is made by the Colum-
bia Seminary faculty on the recommendation of the Selection Committee.
Applications must be received no later than March 15. Announcement
of the awards will be made on April 15.

All those applying for a Columbia Scholarship will automatically be
considered for regular admission and financial aid if they are not award-
ed a scholarship.

TULL SCHOLAR

Each year one of the Columbia Scholars is designated as the Tull

56

Scholar. This award, from the J. M. Tull Foundation, is given to a student
who gives "exceptional promise for future usefulness in the ministry."

CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION

Clinical pastoral education is a first-hand learning experience under
certified supervision which provides theological students and pastors
with opportunities for intensive study of pastoral relationships, and
which seeks to make clear in understanding and practice the resources,
methods, and meanings of the Christian faith as expressed through pas-
toral care. Columbia's membership in the Association for Clinical Pas-
toral Education means that its students will be given priority of choice
in institutions elected, especially those listed within the Southeast
Region.

TELEVISION

On its own campus Columbia has video taping facilities. Video tap-
ing is used in a variety of ways in classroom instruction and in preaching
practicums. Columbia's facilities also allow limited work in experimen-
tation with television production.

NATIONAL CAPITAL SEMESTER FOR SEMINARIANS

Columbia Seminary is a participating institution in the National
Capital Semester for Seminarians, organized by Wesley Theological Semi-
nary, Washington, D. C. The program provides an opportunity for
seminary students to spend a semester in Washington for study and
involvement in the processes of government and the concerns of the
churches. The design includes an interaction/reflection seminar, super-
vised study, and the opportunity to elect other courses in Washington
institutions. For detailed information, see the Dean of Academic Affairs.

ALUMNI/AE ASSOCIATION

Columbia's alumni/ae hold their annual meeting on the Seminary
campus during the Columbia Forum, following the January term. Stimu-
lating presentations on ministry are offered, classes hold yearly reunions,
the Alumni/ae Council and officers are elected and retiring professors
are honored.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

In addition to the summer session and special courses in the January
term, several workshops and seminars are held each year as continuing
education offerings for ministers. These events, ordinarily non-credit,
provide opportunities for both academic and professional growth. At
any time in the year when space is available ministers can come to the
Seminary for independent study. Library facilities can be arranged for
research, and consultation with faculty is encouraged.

estimated income and expenses. The estimated expenses are figured
according to norms established by a Columbia Seminary student-faculty
committee. After financial need is calculated, aid is provided in the form
of work scholarships and grants. Most students who come to Columbia
Seminary without a large indebtedness find that they can complete their
Seminary education without crippling financial worries.

Financial aid awarded for the 1980-81 academic year ranged from
$125 to $3390 depending upon need and family size. Maximum grants
were $2200 for single students, $2890 for married students without
children, and $3390 for married students with three or more children.

Students interested in more detailed information about the financial
assistance offered by Columbia Seminary should request from the Dean
of Students' Office the "Columbia Theological Seminary Memorandum
on Financial Aid/' following acceptance.

Veterans Administration Benefits

Certification for V. A. benefits is handled through the Office of the
Dean of Students.

COLUMBIA FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE

Columbia Friendship Circle (CFC) is an association of more than
6,000 women throughout the PCUS who assist the Seminary in three
ways: by praying for the Seminary and telling its story in their local
areas; by encouraging young men and women to consider the ministry
and Columbia Seminary; and by providing financial assistance to the
Seminary each year by supporting a particular project. During the past
several years CFC has raised over $25,000 each year to support such
projects as Scholarship Aid for students and Columbia Scholarships.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

Student Co-ordinating Council

The Student Co-ordinating Council was established to initiate discus-
sion and decisions within the student body, to respond to the needs of
the student community, and to co-ordinate student and community ac-
tivities. It represents the interests of the entire seminary community, i.e.,
students on and off campus, families of students, and all members of
the seminary community.

Society for Missionary Inquiry

This society was founded in 1832 and has been an instrument through
the years to promote an active interest in missions among the student
body and throughout the Church. The society regularly brings outstand-
ing speakers before the student body and for years sponsored a Mis-
sions Conference at Rock Eagle, Georgia. Through the work of the
society a number of students have responded to the challenge of in-
ternational missions.

Society for Theological Scholarship

This society was established for the purpose of encouraging in every
student the highest possible scholarship in all departments of instruc-
tion. Membership is open to all students and faculty on a voluntary basis.
Lectures, informal discussions with visiting lecturers, symposia by mem-
ber of the faculty, and other meetings are sponsored in the interest of
Christian scholarship.

Women of Columbia

This organization is for all the women of the Columbia Community.
Women students, wives of male students, faculty wives, and other wo-
men in the community meet together for study and the sharing of mu-
tual concerns and interests. The Women of Columbia sponsor a number
of events for the whole community as well as special programs of par-
ticular interest to women.

Student Athletic Program

Athletic activities are available and open to all students and their
families. These activities include volleyball, football, basketball, soccer,
Softball, tennis, ping pong, pool, golf, and Frisbee Golf.

Student Supply Preaching

Columbia Seminary, through the Office of the Dean of Students,
works with Presbyteries and local congregations in making arrange-
ments for student supply preaching. Students are generally assigned on
a rotating basis to churches that have requested supply ministers.

PLEDGE

Students entering Columbia Theological Seminary are required by the

61

Seminary's Plan of Government to take the pledge given below. This
pledge was first taken by students at Princeton Seminary around 1817
and continues in use today in most Presbyterian Seminaries.

The language in many ways is archaic, but it still points to the basic
responsibilities of a student. The way in which the pledge is interpreted
at Columbia Seminary can be seen by reference to the "Digest of In-
formation and Regulations" in the Student Handbook.

Deeply impressed with the importance of improving in knowl-
edge, piety, and prudence, preparatory to the Gospel Ministry, I
solemnly promise, in reliance on Divine grace, that I will faithfully
and diligently attend all the assigned instructions of this Seminary,
and that I will conscientiously and vigilantly observe all the rules
and regulations specified in the Plan of Government, obey all law-
ful requisitions, and readily yield to all the wholesome admoni-
tions of the President and Professors of the Seminary while I con-
tinue a student in it.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

Detailed information about the seminary community may be found
in the Student Handbook. Included is information on Student Records,
Special Testing, and the Digest of Information and Regulations.

COMMUNITY WORSHIP

The seminary community gathers for worship every day of regular
classes to express its thanksgiving for and need of God's grace in the
church and in the world.

COLUMBIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Its Support

The mission of Columbia Theological Seminary is to prepare good
ministers of Jesus Christ to proclaim the Gospel and to serve the Church,
the community, and the world. The Seminary is also committed to the
mission of nurturing those already ordained through continuing educa-
tion and serving as a resource center for the entire Church.

Columbia Seminary's supporting synods have historically stated, and
repeatedly confirmed, their intentions to be responsible for the enabling
support of the Seminary. It costs $8,000 a year to educate each student.
Approximately 11% of the current operating budget comes from benev-
olence monies provided by the synods.

Student fees provide for 30% of the budget while an additional 23%
comes from individual annual gifts to Living Endowment. A growing
endowment provides approximately 30% of the annual budget. The
sources of income may be pictured as follows:

STUDENT FEES

One of the best ways a person can invest in the vital ministry of
Columbia Seminary is by contributing to the annual giving program or
by establishing a permanently endowed scholarship or memorial fund.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Columbia expects students to pay as much of their education as possi-
ble from their own resources. But beyond these resources, there are
many unmet needs. Columbia Seminary attempts to meet these needs so
that no qualified student will be denied the theological education re-
quired for service in the leadership of the Church.

Permanently endowed Scholarship Funds provide the resources to
enable the students to remain in Seminary. These funds also encourage
the students by reminding them that they have the interest and concern
of many men and women who make up the Church.

ENDOWMENT AND TEACHING

At the heart of the Seminary's ministry of training ministers is its facul-
ty. The endowment of a professorship is a means whereby a large sum of
money is raised to endow a chair permanently. The initial sum remains
intact and the Seminary uses only the money that is produced through
the wise management of the Investment Committee.

An Endowed Chair of $500,000 should produce sufficient income for a
faculty salary including housing, insurance, pension, and secretarial
service. The continued development of endowed professorships contri-
butes greatly to financial stability especially in a period of inflation.

Funds for this purpose are necessarily of larger amounts and the
Seminary lists here with gratitude the following Funds which exceed
$8,000 as of June 30, 1980:

Campbell Foundation Grants for the Endowment of Pastoral

Care Department $500,000.00
