About LaGrange College

Purpose and Objectives

The fundamental purpose of LaGrange College, a church-related institution
fostering Christian values, is to provide an education grounded in the liberal
arts which will open students' minds to the adventure of higher learning and
will enable them to discover what is excellent in life. Its aim is to produce
graduates prepared to accept responsibilities of leadership in contemporary
society, who approach the opportunities as well as the problems of modern life
with depths of knowledge, understanding, and feeling, and with sound
perspectives of time, place, and circumstance.

To fulfill this purpose the College offers to its students opportunities to gain
knowledge and experience in the arts and sciences that will stimulate interest,
create enlightenment, and promote further inquiry; to develop vocational
goals; and to begin related preparation.
To achieve its objectives the College strives

to attract students who, through scholastic achievement and personal
motivation, have indicated their ability and desire to undertake a college pro-
gram, and who recognize and accept the purpose and objectives of the Col lege;

to maintain a professionally competent faculty whose members provide
leadership in teaching-learning experiences, and who serve as scholarly models
for student development through intellectual and cultural attainments and pur-
suits, through high standards of character, and through constructive involve-
ment in campus and community life;

to provide flexible programs which will inspire students to attain maxi-
mum intellectual development, and which will broaden outlooks on life;

to help each student to know himself, and to develop as a physically
healthy and emotionally, socially, and spiritually mature person;

to emphasize undergraduate liberal education foremost, but also to offer
within the liberal arts context certain compatible professional and pre-
professional curricula, and to offer graduate studies at the master's level to meet
special needs within the limits of the resources of the College;

to lead in the academic inquiry into various facets of contemporary soci-
ety and to exert a constructive influence in the community through intellectual,
cultural, and social leadership by offering educational opportunities to area
citizens, and by encouraging faculty, staff, and student participation in commu-
nity affairs;

to promote growth in resources at a rate which will preserve the eco-
nomic well-being of the College, support existing educational programs, facili-

tate changes in programs to meet changing needs, and sustain improvement in
quality.

LaGrange College seeks to attain these objectives for all who aspire to a col-
lege education and admits students of any race, color, creed, sex, or national
and ethnic origin, and grants to each student all the rights, privileges, programs,
and activities generally accorded or made available by the College. It does not
discriminate with respect to such matters in the administration of its educational
policies, admissions procedures, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic
and other school-administered activities.

Adopted by Faculty, Administration, and Board of Trustees, 1981.

History and Description

The history of LaGrange College is closely associated with the history of the
City of LaGrange and Troup County. When the vast tract of land lying between
the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers was secured by the Indian Springs Treaty of
1825 and was opened for settlement in 1827, one of the five counties formed on
the western border of the state was named Troup in honor of Governor George
Michael Troup.

An act was passed by the Georgia Legislature on December 24, 1827, provid-
ing for the selection of a county seat. It was named LaGrange after the country
estate of the Marquis de Lafayette, American Revolutionary War hero who had
visited the region in 1825 as the guest of Governor Troup. The site for the town
of LaGrange was purchased in 1828 and the town was incorporated on
December 18, 1828. On December 26, 1831, the charter for the LaGrange
Female Academy was granted at the state capitol, then in Milledgeville.

In 1831 Andrew Jackson was president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln
was 22 years old. The Creek Indians had been moved out of this area of the
state only six years earlier. The only other college in the state was Franklin Col-
lege, now the University of Georgia.

In 1847 the charter for the school was amended and the school became The
LaGrange Female Institute, with power to confer degrees. The name was
changed to LaGrange Female College in 1851 and in 1934 it was changed to
LaGrange College. The college became officially co-educational in 1953.

The first location of the school was in a large white building at what is now
406 Broad Street. The school moved to its present location "On The Hill/' the
highest geographical point in LaGrange, after the construction of the building
now known as Smith Hall in 1842.

The college was sold to the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South in 1856. Today it is an institution of the North Georgia
Conference of The United Methodist Church.

About LaGrange College

Strong in the liberal arts, LaGrange College has an outstanding reputation in
eight pre-professional programs, including pre-medical and allied fields, pre-
law, pre-theology, and engineering.

LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with twenty-one majors,
the Bachelor of Business Administration with three concentration areas, and
the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. The Master of Business
Administration degree and the Master of Education degree in Early Childhood
and Middle Childhood are offered. Associate of Arts degree is offered in five
areas.

LaGrange College operates on the quarter system. In addition to the day
schedule of classes in the fall, winter and spring quarters, there is an evening
session. There are also both day and evening sessions in the summer.

The college draws more than half of its student body from Georgia. With
students from more than one-third of the states and from several foreign coun-
tries, the college has a cosmopolitan and international representation which in-
cludes various religious and ethnic backgrounds.

While proud of its heritage, the college continues to add to and improve its
curriculum and facilities to meet the needs of its students today. LaGrange Col-
lege originated the plan for students to complete fall quarter before Thanksgiv-
ing and have a 40-day holiday break. Georgia's leader in granting academic
credit through the College Level Examination Program, the college also offers
travel seminars, field study programs and internships. The drama department
has a resident summer stock theatre company at Callaway Gardens, nearby
resort in Pine Mountain. Students in the college's nursing division receive
supervised training in many area medical facilities. Campus art exhibitions, lec-
tures, concerts, varsity and intramural sports add to the cultural enrichment
and recreational opportunities offered by the college.

The college is located in the town of LaGrange, Georgia, which has a popula-
tion of 26,000. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm Springs Foundation
and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House. The West Point Dam on the
Chattahoochee River provides one of the largest lakes in the region, with
waterfronts and marina within the city limits of LaGrange.

Accreditation

As a coeducational, four-year liberal arts college, LaGrange College is fully
accredited by the Commission on Colleges Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools, approved by the United Methodist University Senate, and has
membership in the National Association of Independent Colleges and univer-
sities, the National Association of United Methodist Colleges, the Georgia
Association of Colleges, The American Alumni Council, the Georgia Founda-
tion for Independent Colleges, and the Association of Private Colleges and
Universities in Georgia. The Georgia State Board of Education, which confers
professional certificates upon college graduates meeting requirements in early

childhood, middle school, or secondary education, has awarded highest ap-
proval to LaGrange College's program of teacher education.

The National League for Nursing, the officially recognized agency for associ-
ate degree nursing programs by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation,
has awarded (highest) accreditation to LaGrange College's nursing program.

Sessions of the College

The College operates on the quarter system. Each quarter is about ten weeks
long. There are four quarters: fall, winter, spring and summer. In the summer
quarter, day classes are divided into two five-week terms. A student may elect
to attend either or both of the summer sessions. Evening classes in the summer
quarter run continuously through the summer quarter.

Both day and evening classes are available during each of these four
quarters. The day and evening classes are sessions of the same academic pro-
gram; however, with the exception of a limited number of majors it is necessary
to attend day classes at some time in order to complete degree requirements.

areas:

English 4

Social Studies 3

Foreign Language

2

Desirable electives include additional units of Language, Mathematics, or
Science. A basic understanding of Computer Science is also encouraged.

Scores from either the SAT (administered by the College Entrance Examination
Board) or ACT (administered by the American College Testing Program) are re-
quired of all freshman applicants. Test results should normally be sent to
LaGrange College in November, December, or January of the last year in high
school.

Mature students with an irregular educational background may qualify for
admission by achieving satisfactory scores on the tests of General Educational
Development, High School Level.

LaGrange College predicts a student's grade point average using a formula
which takes into account verbal and math scores on the SAT and the student's
high school grade point average. Students are admitted as "clear accept" if
they are predicted to be successful in the academic programs of LaGrange Col-
lege.

Clear Accept: The majority of LaGrange College students are accepted
under the clear accept category.

Early Admission: Early admission is possible for students who will have com-
pleted the junior year of high school. To qualify, a student must have a B+ or
better high school average in his academic courses, have ten of the eleven

16

Admissions

prescribed units, and have a total of fifteen units. Also to qualify, a student must
have a minimum score on the College Board SAT of 1050 combined or a com-
posite score of 25 on the ACT. A minimum of 500 on the Verbal SAT or a
minimum of 24 in the English subject area of the ACT is desirable. An interview
is required of all early admissions students.

Joint Enrollment: Recognizing that there is an increasing number of high
school students beginning their twelfth grade who need only one or two
academic units to graduate and who very often lack sufficient challenge,
LaGrange College has adopted a policy for Joint Enrollment at both the College
and the student's high school. To be eligible, a student must meet the dear-
accept standard of the Admission policy and be recommended in writing by
the proper authority at the student's high school.

On-Trial Program: This program is for applicants who are unable to qualify
for dear-accept admission to LaGrange College, but who appear to have the
potential to succeed. All courses taken are for full credit. Students in this pro-
gram must earn a grade point average of 1 .0 during the first quarter or in the first
15 hours of college work. Further information is available from the Director of
Admissions.

Transfer Students: A student who has been in attendance at another institu-
tion may apply for transfer to LaGrange College if he is eligible to return to that
institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. Normally, transfer students
who have the A.A. Degree or an equivalent degree from an accredited junior
college will be exempt from LaGrange College General Requirements if the
A.A. Degree included courses in Math and English. A student may be accepted
on probation under the standard probation regulations. All records, including
transcripts of all college work attempted, must be complete before the student
is admitted to LaGrange College. Applicants may enroll at the beginning of any
quarter. Acceptable credit from a junior college is limited to 95 quarter hours.

Transient Students: Students currently enrolled in good standing at another
college, may enroll at LaGrange College as transient students. Approval of
course work must be authorized by the primary institution on the Application
for Transient Status which is available from the Admissions Office.

Special Students: Students not working toward a degree may register as spe-
cial students in any course for which they have the necessary prerequisites. An
application for Special Student Status may be obtained through the Admissions
Office. Students classed as Special Students may become Regular Students by
meeting requirements for regular admission.

17

Admissions

Readmission Students: Following an absence from LaGrange College of one
or more quarters, other than the Summer Quarter, any student who decides to
return must submit an Application for Readmission. This form is available from
the Admissions Office.

Foreign Students: In the past few years the College has hosted students from
Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Venezuela, Ghana, Thailand,
Canada, and Brazil. While the foreign students' number is never very large, the
College has developed special programs for many of these students.

Admission as a foreign student requires a TOEFL examination with a
minimum score of 500 for students for whom English is not their first language.
Documentation of completion of the 107 level from one of the ELS Language
Centers may be substituted for the TOEFL requirement. Also required are
translated and certified documents attesting to academic performances in sec-
ondary school and university, if applicable. The Director of Admissions should
be contacted for the current interpretation of the regulations concerning ob-
taining a Student Visa. If the prospective student is in the United States, an in-
terview at the College is desirable and may often be substituted for a TOEFL
score.

ADMISSION TO GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM

Payment of Charges

All charges for the quarter are due and payable at registration, and each
student is expected to pay at that time.

All LaGrange College undergraduate degree-seeking students taking 12 hours
or more who have been residents of the state of Georgia for twelve consecutive
months are eligible to receive a tuition equalization grant regardless of need.
The amount of this grant for 1987-88 is $875. State of Georgia Tuition Grants
MUST be applied for at registration in order to be processed within the time limit
set by the State. Failure to apply on time means the student will not receive the
State Tuition Grant and will personally have to pay the amount of the grant.

Depending on individual requirements, a student may expect to spend
$600.00 to $900.00 per year on books and personal expenses.

The above charges are applicable to an academic year which is three
quarters.

Summer Quarter costs and curriculum are available in a separate bulletin.

Nursing students should consult with the Nursing Division concerning re-
quired nursing supplies and their projected costs.

Financial Planning

Philosophy

LaGrange College believes that the student and family should contribute to
the educational expenses of attending college to the extent of their ability to do
so. When family resources do not meet the total costs of attending this institu-
tion, a financial need is established. We at LaGrange College will do all we can
to assist you in meeting that need.

General Information

Financial need is computed by using a standard need analysis system with
confidential information submitted by parents or self-supporting students. The
Financial Aid Form (FAF) administered by the College Scholarship Service is the
need analysis accepted by LaGrange College.

Applicants for financial assistance need not be accepted for admission to ap-
ply. However, the student must be accepted for enrollment before an official
aid award can be made. Financial aid awards are made for each academic
year. Therefore, students must apply for aid each year.

Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid

1 . Apply for admission to the college through the Admissions Office.

2. Submit the Financial Aid Form (FAF) to the College Scholarship Service for
processing as soon as possible after January 1 . This form may be obtained
from high school counselors or the Financial Aid Office at the college.

3. Submit the LaGrange College Financial Aid Application to the Financial
Aid Office. This form is automatically sent to all students who have been
accepted for enrollment by the Admissions Office.

4. All Georgia residents should complete and submit to the Financial Aid Of-
fice the Georgia Student Grant Application which allows students to ap-
ply for the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (for those attending private
colleges). This form may be obtained only from the Financial Aid Office at
LaGrange College.

5. Transfer students from other colleges must submit a Financial Aid
Transcript from colleges attended previously whether or not financial
assistance was received. These forms may be obtained from the Financial
Aid Office at LaGrange College and must be returned prior to receiving
an aid award.

27

Financial Aid

Financial aid is awarded on an academic year basis. If funding permits, those
students receiving assistance during the academic year will be given first con-
sideration for summer awards.

Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1980, re-
quires that a student be maintaining Satisfactory Progress in the course of study
the student is pursuing in order to receive any Title IV student financial aid.
Satisfactory progress would be implemented throughout the entire course of
study prior to and including periods when a student receives Title IV financial
aid.

The minimum satisfactory progress requirements for all students, whether or
not they are receiving Title IV aid, are those academic requirements imposed
by LaGrange College on all registered students. Those requirements are stated
in the LaGrange College Bulletin section titled "Academic Probation Regula-
tions." Academic probation or suspension constitutes financial aid probation
or suspension as well. A student who has been suspended and is later readmit-
ted to LaGrange College may have financial aid reinstated pending approval by
the Financial Aid Appeals Committee and the availability of funds.

Beyond those minimum satisfactory progress requirements for all students,
there are some additional progress requirements for Title IV aid recipients:

Title IV Aid - Pell Grant

National Direct Student Loan
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
College Work Study Program
Guaranteed Student Loan
PLUS Loan

If a student accepts aid from any program listed above, the student must pass at
least the following number of cumulative credit hours based on full time status
(at least 12 quarter hours) during a sequence of three academic quarters (Fall,
Winter, Spring, for example).

Total Quarter Hour Credits
At the End (Grades of "D" or Better)

16 172 72

18 194 72

28

Financial Aid

This means that students who audit or repeat courses, withdraw frequently
or take courses not related to a degree objective would not be considered as
making satisfactory progress toward graduation and thus would be subject to
loss of eligibility for financial aid.

A student in a dual degree program will be allowed five (5) quarters in addi-
tion to the eighteen (18) quarters normally allowed for completion. Information
on Satisfactory Academic Progress for a part-time student is available from the
Financial Aid Office. This policy is subject to change with federal requirements.

To maintain eligibility for Title IV Federal Aid a student must meet all three (3)
criteria specified above (G.P.A., hours earned, and be within the specified time
frame).

In the event a student does not complete the required academic credit hours
within the specified time, the student cannot receive further financial assistance
from the federal programs until the required hours have been completed at the
student's own expense.

Conditions of Reinstatement

To be reinstated, a student must at his/her own expense earn the specified
number of hours to meet the minimum requirement or G.P.A. as specified
above. At such time as the student has met the requirements he/she must con-
tact the Financial Aid Office and request aid for subsequent quarters.

Appeal Procedure

A student may appeal the denial of financial assistance (with the exception of
the eighteen quarter time limit) if mitigating circumstances have occurred. This
appeal should be submitted in writing to the Dean of the College who will sub-
mit the request before a Financial Aid Committee. (This letter of appeal should
include (a) reason for failure to achieve the minimum academic requirements,
and (b) reasons why aid should not be terminated.) The Committee for purpose
of hearing the appeal shall convene within two weeks of the date of receiving
the appeal and shall inform the student of a decision within one week of the
hearing.

fields of study other than law, medicine, or the ministry. Low interest loans with
deferred payments are made to qualified residents of Alabama, Florida,

Private Colleges and Universities in Georgia, is available. LaGrange College
participates in this program and has funds available for loans to qualified
students in amounts not less than $1,000. Interest rates and repayment terms
for these loans in many cases are more favorable than terms which are
available otherwise. The maximum family income for eligibility has been set
approximately at $75,000, making this program available to many families not
now eligible for other programs. Students who are interested in applying for a
student loan or who would like to have more information should contact the
Financial Aid Office.

WORK OPPORTUNITIES

Students may be assigned work through the College Work-Study Program
and the College Student Aid Program as part of their financial assistance. Assign-
ments are all on-campus with department and administrative offices.

Local businesses employ students in part-time jobs. Such employment is
usually arranged by the student and not the College.

35

Student Development

Student Government Activities

The Student Government Association exists to serve as a medium for student
expressions, to coordinate campus activities, to promote good citizenship and
to govern within the parameters granted by the President of the College. The
SGA is an important part of student life. Upon acceptance into the college, a
student automatically becomes a member of the association. All students are
encouraged to become active members, so that the association is a truly
representative body of student thought and opinion, voicing the needs and
concerns of the student body.

The SGA is charged with responsibility of planning and presenting student
entertainment programs. They sponsor concerts, dances, movies, ski trips and
many other special events. Student publications are supported by the SGA;
these include the newspaper, yearbook and magazine.

All clubs and organizations are sanctioned by the SGA. These include:

Student Conduct

LaGrange College, as a church-related college, is committed to an honorable
and seemly standard of conduct. As an educational institution the college is
concerned not only with the formal in-class education of its students, but also
with their welfare and their growth into mature men and women who conduct
themselves responsibly as citizens.

Regulations of the college are formulated to meet changing student needs
within the framework of college policy. These regulations become effective
when the student enrolls. Some regulations may not be agreeable to everyone
because they have been formulated to meet the needs of the entire group. This
however, does not lessen the individual's obligation to uphold them. Regula-

38

Student Development

tions do not have as their primary purpose the punishment of the individual.
The regulations are formulated to insure the right of all community members to
have the best possible living and learning conditions.

The college reserves the right to dismiss at any time a student who, in its judg-
ment, is undesirable and whose continuation in the school is detrimental to
himself or his fellow students.

Furthermore, students are subject to federal, state and local laws as well as
college rules and regulations.

A student is not entitled to greater immunities before the law than those en-
joyed by other citizens generally. Students are subject to such disciplinary ac-
tion as the Administration of the College may consider appropriate, including
possible suspension and expulsion for breach of federal, state or local laws, or
college regulations. This principle extends to conduct off-campus which is
likely to have adverse effect on the college or on the educational process or
which stamps the offender as an unfit associate for the other students. A com-
plete description of student conduct policies, rules and regulations can be
found in Hilltopics, the student handbook.

Student Health Services

Under the Student Health Program resident students are provided care by a
registered nurse in the student day clinic. The nurse is on duty from 8:30 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and for emergency calls at other times. The
nurse assists the students in securing a physician if needed. The services of the
nurse and the use of the day clinic are available to dormitory students only.
Charges for X-rays, prescriptions, hospital charges, and fees of physicians or
surgeons to whom a student is referred are the responsibility of the student.
Private nurses and personal physicians must be paid for by the student. All
students must have proof of medical insurance. For those not having coverage
through individual or group plans, LaGrange College makes available accident
and sickness coverage through a private carrier at reasonable rates. Application
forms are available at registration or through the Business Office.

Career Resource Center

The Career Resource Center is located in the Student Development Office
complex. It contains up-to-date career-related materials, occupational informa-
tion, and a microcomputer with programs to assist students discover their oc-
cupational interests. The Center also keeps up-to-date information regarding
certification and license requirements and qualifying examinations.

39

Student Development

Counseling and Testing

An important part of the philosophy of LaGrange College is that each student
should have advice and counseling throughout his/her academic career;
therefore counseling is available to LaGrange College students in a variety of
areas. The goal is to assist students in gaining an understanding of themselves so
they are better able to make informed personal, academic and vocational
choices. In addition to individual counseling, group programs are available on
topics such as Study Skills, Test Anxiety Reduction, Career Planning, etc. A
broad range of career exploration is available to the individual student at no
cost. The College will assign freshmen to a faculty adviser who will assist with
the design of a program of study as well as any other problems which may oc-
cur. This special program is staffed by identified faculty members who coor-
dinate the programs of Freshman Seminar.

The Office of Student Development also administers the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT), and the College Level Examination Program, as part of the College's
Advanced Placement Program. The Miller Analogies is also available for
graduate students. In addition, information about other national testing pro-
grams, e.g. as the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and the National Teacher Exam
(NTE) is available in this office.

Vehicle Registration

To insure efficient control of traffic and parking on campus and the safety of
all persons and vehicles, each vehicle must be registered and must have an af-
fixed current decal. These decals are issued to students, along with a copy of
existing parking regulations. There is a fee.

40

Student Development

Student Review of Decisions

Recognizing that decisions must be made and that some students may feel
aggrieved by some decisions, LaGrange College provides the following pro-
cedures:

A student must first attempt to resolve an issue with the college staff member
first rendering a decision. If this does not resolve the issue, a decision rendered
by a college staff member may be appealed by a student as follows:

I. Student Life:

(a) A disciplinary decision rendered by a duly constituted student judicial
board may be appealed to the Dean of Student Development. Disci-
plinary decisions rendered originally by the Dean of Student Develop-
ment may be appealed to the Student Affairs Committee. If a disciplin-
ary decision is appealed by a student, it must be done in writing within
twenty-four hours after receipt of the original decision.

(b) Other grievances in the area of student life may be appealed to the
Dean of Student Development. If the grievance involves an original
decision rendered by the Dean of Student Development, the decision
may be appealed to the Student Affairs Committee.

II. Financial Aid. See page 29.

III. Academic Matters. See page 58.

Academic Programs and Degree Requirements

Graduate Programs

LaGrange College offers programs of study culminating in the Master of Edu-
cation degree and the Master of Business Administration degree.

See the description of these programs in the Departments and Courses sec-
tion, page 44.

Requirements for the A.A. Degrees

Programs of study leading to the Associate of Arts degree are designed to
meet these needs: (1) students who at present do not see a four-year degree
program as an immediate objective; (2) out-of-school youths who have decided
that college-level work with a degree potential, achievable in a shorter period
of time, is a part of their career orientation; (3) mature people who desire college-
level work for life fulfillment and need definite objectives as motivation; and
(4) any employed person who seeks specific learning opportunities for career
advancement.

A 2.0 qualifying grade point average overall in course work taken at
LaGrange College is required for graduation.

To meet these needs LaGrange College has designed two-year curricula cul-
minating in the A.A. degree in which a minimum of 30 quarter hours of credit
must be earned in residence.

A.A. DECREE IN GENERAL STUDIES

I. General Requirements as now constituted.

II. Concentration of a minimum of 30 quarter hours in chosen field (excluded
are business administration, education and nursing).

Special Institutes/Continuing Education

LaGrange College coordinates and initiates special institutes and continuing
education activities. These activities include work with area and state churches,
industries, health care facilities and businesses. For certain of these activities the
College gives continuing education units (C.E.U.).

49

Academic Regulations

Orientation and Counseling

All new students are introduced to LaGrange College through an orientation
program which takes place at the beginning of each quarter. The orientation
program is designed to acquaint the new students with various phases of the life
of the College including traditions, procedures, and regulations. It is believed
that all students will profit from a proper introduction to the opportunities and
responsibilities of college life.

Freshman Seminar deals with the elements of learning and decision-making
not covered in the traditional curricular structure that are essential to the stu-
dent's educational process. These include the selection of courses, study skills,
making long-term educational plans, placing course work in a broader context
of student development, dealing with personal difficulties, and adjusting to the
inadequacies in pre-college preparation. To help students at LaGrange College
face these issues in an organized way, Freshman Seminar is taught. This two-
hour course provides an opportunity for freshmen to work with faculty and
other students in the consideration of issues designed to assist them in making
decisions and in dealing with the many interrelated problems that have a bear-
ing on their academic career. See the section in Student Development on
Orientation.

Academic Advising

All students in LaGrange College are assigned academic advisers who are well
versed in college requirements. In addition to assistance with current regula-
tions and degree requirements, advisers can also provide useful information on
long-range academic goals. Career planning, testing, and personal counseling
are available from the staff of the Student Development Office.

Registration and Academic Advisers

All students must register on the dates specified. Failure to register on the
proper dates may subject the student to a $20 late-registration fee. All registra-
tion procedures for all quarters are under the direction of the Dean of the Col-
lege.

51

Academic Regulations

Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser, who assists the student in plan-
ning an academic program. However, the ultimate responsibility of meeting all
requirements rests with the individual student.

A student interested in a particular major should inform his general adviser in
order that special prerequisite courses for the major may be scheduled. A ma-
jor may be formally declared anytime after the student has earned 15 hours of
credit. The student must declare his major in writing to the Registrar by the time
he has earned 75 quarter hours of credit. The student will then be assigned to an
adviser in the department in which he will major. A student planning to pursue
a program in Teacher Education must make application in writing to the head of
the Department of Education at least by the time he declares his major.

Withdrawal

To withdraw from any course a student must confer with his instructor, his
adviser, and the Academic Dean. Failure of a student to withdraw officially
through the office of the Academic Dean normally will result in the assignment
of a U. A student who wishes to withdraw from the College must confer with
the Dean of the College and the Dean of Student Development. Withdrawals
are not permitted the last week of class.

Academic Probation Regulations

Students are placed on academic probation when the quality of work is such
that progress toward graduation is in jeopardy. The purpose of probation is to
warn. It is not a penalty. Students on probation will be notified and the regula-
tions governing probation will be called to their attention.

Freshmen (fewer than 45 hours) must maintain a cumulative grade point
average (GPA) of at least 1.65 to avoid being placed on probation. Sophomores
(45 to 89 hours), a 1 .75 GPA; Juniors (90 to 1 34 hours), a 1 .85 GPA; and Seniors
(more than 1 34 hours), a 2.00 GPA. In most cases, students have three quarters
to remove their probationary status. Failure to do so makes these students sub-
ject to suspension or exclusion.

Students are also subject to suspension or exclusion for failure to earn at least
five quarter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or for other valid
academic reasons. In the case of part-time students, the extent of application of
these regulations will be at the discretion of the Academic Dean. Normally, all
applications of the regulations will be based upon a fifteen quarter-hour
academic load.

52

Academic Regulations

Class Attendance Regulations

A student is expected to attend all classes, including labs, for all courses for
which he is registered. The student is solely responsible for accounting to his in-
structor for any absence. An instructor may recommend that the Academic
Dean drop from class with a grade of W or U any student whose absences are
interfering with satisfactory performance in the course.

Course Repetition

A student is prohibited from repeating a course in which he has made a "C"
or better (while enrolled at LaGrange College or any other institution) without
the approval of the Dean of the College and the Academic Standards Commit-
tee.

Acceleration

Students desiring to accelerate their college program may complete re-
quirements in less than four academic years. This may be accomplished by at-
tending summer schools and/or by taking an academic overload. Permission to
take an overload in any quarter is granted only to those students who have
earned at least an average of B (3.0), except that a student may take an overload
during one quarter of his senior year without respect to grade-point average.

Academic Honors

Upon graduation, students who have been in residence at LaGrange College
for at least their last ninety hours and

1 . have attained a quality point average of 3.50 to 3.74 may be granted the
bachelor degree cum laude or

2. have attained a quality point average of 3.75 to 3.89 may be granted the
bachelor degree magna cum laude or

3. have attained a quality point average of 3.90 to 4.0 may be granted the
bachelor degree summa cum laude.

At the end of each academic quarter, students who have maintained a 3.60
quality point average on a minimum of 15 quarter hours of work will be placed
on the Dean's List.

Academic honors at graduation are awarded only to students completing the
four-year program (effective with 1 985 graduates).

53

Academic Regulations

Foreign Students

Students who are on a Student Visa in the United States are subject to special
regulations. As the institution which issues documents certifying student status,
LaGrange College is subject to regulations or guidelines. Guidelines change;
students should contact the Dean of the College for interpretation of such
changes. The current interpretation is that students with Student Visas must be
enrolled for a full academic load (at least 1 2 quarter hours) at all times.

English proficiency is fundamental to a successful academic course at
LaGrange College. Therefore, in addition to the minimum TOEFL score re-
quired for admission, the College requires all students for whom English is a
second language to enroll in and satisfactorily complete a two-quarter se-
quence, Eng 01 0, 01 1 . Further, if it is apparent that a student's English continues
to jeopardize a successful academic career, the Dean of the College may re-
quire that a student attend a special, intensive English language course. If such
a requirement is placed on a student, failure to attend the English language
course can result in withdrawal of the Student Visa.

Special Programs

There are several categories of special programs, described below. These are
designed to meet special interests and special needs. In no case are they in-
tended to be used as substitutes for any regular course offerings. Also, concur-
rent enrollment in any two or more of these special programs is discouraged.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

In certain departments independent study courses are offered. These courses
are limited to upperclass major and minor students who have completed at
least two-thirds of their particular major or minor program, and who wish to
pursue a special problem or course of reading beyond that taken up in any for-
mal course and lying within the capabilities of the library and laboratories. In
order to be eligible for independent study the student must have at least a 3.0
average in the specific field. Total credit which can be earned through indepen-
dent study normally will not be more than 10 quarter hours. Written permis-
sion to enroll in such a course must be obtained from the instructor, the head of
the department concerned, and the Academic Dean. These courses carry the
numbers 495 and 496.

54

Academic Regulations

SENIOR HONORS PROGRAM

Seniors with a cumulative quality point average of 3.5 or above may apply for
participation in the Honors Program which is available in certain departments.
This program carries the course number 499, with 5 quarter hours of credit in
each participating department, with the designation "Honors Course." Appli-
cations must be submitted in writing to the Academic Dean.

Credit-by-Examination and Exemption

Students may be eligible for credit and/or exemption in certain areas through
the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and other recognized testing
procedures. Advanced placement credit is accepted for those students who
present evidence from the high school that advance placement programs have
been completed and who present scores of 4 or 5 on the advanced placement
test of the College Educational Examination Board administered by Educational
Testing Service.

Credit through United States Armed Forces Institute
and Service Schools

Courses taken through The United States Armed Forces Institute and other
recognized military educational programs are accepted in accordance with the
policy governing transfer work when presented on official transcripts from ac-
credited institutions. Fifteen quarter hours of elective credit will be allowed for
military service credit, including USAFI correspondence courses and military
service school courses as recommended by the American Council on Educa-
tion. One activity course in Physical Education, up to a maximum of 3, will be
waived for each two months served in the Armed Forces; a corresponding
reduction will be made in the total number of hours required for the degree.

55

Academic Regulations

Grades and Credits

The definitions of grades given at LaGrange College are as follows:
A superior
B above average
C average
D below average
F failing

I incomplete. This grade is assigned in case a student is doing satisfactory
work but for some reason beyond his control has been unable to com-
plete the work during that quarter. This deferment must be given written
approval in advance by the instructor and the Academic Dean.
N no credit or non-credit

W withdrawn. During the first three weeks a student may withdraw from a
class with an "automatic" "W." After this trial period the student may
withdraw, but the grade assigned, "W" or "U," will be at the discretion
of the professor.
U withdrawn failing. The grade of U is included in computing the grade-
point average.
O penalty failing. This grade is given for a breach of honor and is in-
cluded in computing the grade-point average.
T audit withdrawn
X audit complete
A student may register for a course on a non-credit basis, for which he pays
full tuition. To have a grade of N recorded, he must fulfill all course require-
ments.

A student may audit a course by paying the audit fee. All requests for audit
courses must be approved in writing by the instructor and Dean of the College.
Only lecture courses may be audited. No new freshman student may audit any
course during the first quarter of residence at LaGrange College.

An / is a temporary grade. Normally it must be removed by the date indicated
in the Academic Calendar. Failure to remove an / by the date set automatically
makes the grade an F. A grade other than /, once submitted, may not be
changed by an instructor except with the formal approval of the Academic Ad-
visory Council, within the next quarter.

Grades are assigned and recorded for each course at the end of each quarter.
Formal reports of grades are also issued at the same time. Transcripts are
withheld for any student who is under financial obligation to the College.

56

Academic Regulations

Requirements for Bachelor Degrees

LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Science
degree, and the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. To obtain a sec-
ond bachelor's degree, at least 60 additional quarter hours must be earned,
beyond the first degree, in a minimum of three quarters.

The minimum work required for graduation is 183 quarter hours and a 2.0
quality-point average overall, as well as in all course work taken at LaGrange
College. To be eligible for the degree, a student must have earned a cumulative
average of 2.0 or better and, must make application for the degree before the
beginning of his final quarter. A student who does not earn a degree in sixteen
full quarters or the equivalent may be denied further registration.

A minimum of 1 5 quarter hours meets the academic load requirement for a
full-time student. The maximum full load is 18 quarter hours; anything beyond
is considered an overload. No student is permitted to enroll for more than 22
hours in any one quarter. Request to take an overload must be granted in the
Dean's office.

Quality points are earned as follows: A, 4; B, 3; C, 2; D, 1; F, 0. The quality-
point average is computed by dividing the total quality points earned by the
total hours attempted. If a student has received credit for a course and repeats
that course, he receives no additional credit toward the degree. In computing
the student's average, hours attempted and quality points are counted on all
such attempts.

Not more than 95 quarter hours of credit earned at a junior college are
counted toward the degree. No credit is granted toward the degree for course
work taken at a junior college after a student has attained junior standing. A
transfer student is not given credit toward graduation for any Ds earned
elsewhere. Academic averages are computed on work done only at LaGrange
College.

There are two ways by which a student must meet residency requirements
for graduation:

(1 ) The student must be in residence the last four quarters or 60 hours

or

(2) 75 Credit hours of the last 90 credit hours must be earned at LaGrange
College. With prior approval of the advisor and the Dean of the College
up to 1 5 hours of transient study may be earned at another four-year ac-
credited institution.

Grades earned for transient work are not included in the cumulative grade
average. Normally, after receiving an unsatisfactory grade in a course at
LaGrange College, a student will not be given credit for repeating that course at
another institution. Credit totaling 10 hours or more earned in this way during
the last 90 hours or final 6 quarters precludes the student's being granted credit
for any course work taken by extension or by correspondence during the
period.

57

Academic Regulations

Any regularly enrolled LaGrange College student who desires to take course
work for credit by extension or by correspondence must obtain prior approval
in writing from his academic adviser and from the Academic Dean. Such exten-
sion or correspondence credit may in no case exceed 10 hours; however, not
more than 5 hours earned in this manner may be applied toward the fulfillment
of the General Requirements of LaGrange College. Any course or courses so
taken must be completed and all grades recorded before the end of the stu-
dent's final quarter, in order to be graduated that quarter.

A student is classified as a freshman if he has earned fewer than 45 hours of
credit. A student is classified as a sophomore if he has earned at least 45 hours
of credit and fewer than 90. To be classed as a junior, a student must have earned
at least 90 hours of credit and fewer than 1 35 hours. A student is classified as a
senior upon having earned 135 hours of credit.

No grade below C in any course above 100-level may be applied toward a
major.

Transcripts

Students are entitled to two transcripts of their record free of charge. For
other transcripts a fee of $2 each will be charged. No transcripts will be issued
for any student under financial obligation to the College.

Transcript requests must be made in writing to the Registrar well in advance
of the time the transcript is needed. Transcripts will be issued promptly;
however, atthe beginningand end of quarters some delay may be unavoidable.

Student Review of Academic Decisions

Decisions pertaining to the academic program which are originally rendered
by a faculty member may be appealed, in writing, to the Dean of the College
who shall seek in an informal conference to settle the grievance to the
satisfaction of the two parties involved. If no resolution can be found, the Dean
of the College will deliver the appeal to the Review Subcommittee of the
Academic Standards Committee for its determination.

Decisions pertaining to the academic program originally rendered by the
Dean of the College may be appealed to the Review Subcommittee of the
Academic Standards Committee.

Graduation Requirement

A student who enters LaGrange College under a given catalogue will be
graduated under the requirements of that catalogue. If a student withdraws and
re-enters more than four years later, he will graduate under the requirements of
the catalogue in effect at the time of his re-entry.

58

Academic Regulations

Students in their last year of college work must have an audit of their course
credits and planned courses examined prior to registration for their final
quarter in residence. This is called a "graduation petition." The major adviser
and the Office of the Dean of the College assist the student in completing this
petition.

Students at LaGrange College will participate in the evaluation of the extent
to which institutional educational goals are being achieved. This evaluation will
be in both the general education area and in the major. Students who graduate
in June 1 990 will be the first class to participate in these comprehensive evalua-
tions. The method for determining institutional effectiveness and student
achievements is under development which involves participation of both the
faculty and representative students. Participation in this assessment and the at-
tainment of reasonable levels of achievement are requirements for graduation
in June 1 990 and thereafter.

Endowed Lectureships

The Arthur H. Thompson Lectureship brings to the campus each year noted
scholars to address the faculty and student body on the interrelationship of a
field of knowledge and the Christian religion. The endowment was established
by Mrs. Mary Will Thompson, alumna, in memory of her husband, who was at
one time chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College. He expressed his
philosophy in the statement: "The greatest thing in life is the simple faith of an
honest man."

The Jennie Lee Epps Lectureship brings to the campus each year noted
scholars to address the faculty and student body in the field of English. The en-
dowment was established by Miss Kate Howard Cross, former professor of
Latin at LaGrange College, in loving memory of her friend and colleague, Dr.
Jennie Lee Epps, who was professor of English at LaGrange College for 28 years.

The A. S. Mitchell Lectureship, established by the Mitchell Foundation Inc.,
brings lecturers to the campus for assembly programs.

The Ernestine May Dempsey Lectureship was provided by alumna La Verne
Garrett in memory of her former English professor who taught at LaGrange Col-
lege, 1908-1914.

The Ernest Aubrey Bailey Lectureship honors the memory of the Academic
Dean who served LaGrange College from 1922 to 1959. The fund was estab-
lished by Mrs. Bailey and their daughter, Mrs. William F. Corley.

Pre-professional and
Co-operative Programs

Pre-professional Programs of Study

LaGrange College has a curriculum and environment that is well-suited to
preparation for further study in fields such as law and medicine. These pro-
grams include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation for the following
areas.

LAW

The pre-law adviser is Dr. John W. Anderson of the History and Political Sci-
ence Department.

Students entering law school come from many and varied undergraduate
programs from English to mathematics, business administration, history or
political science. It is not really possible to say which major serves as the best
preparatory background for law school. Almost every law school bulletin,
however, suggests that entering students must have a strong background in
history, political science and English as well as some preparation in economics,
business, sociology, psychology and mathematics.

DENTISTRY

Dr. John Hurd is the adviser. The pre-dental student should select a major as
early as possible and work toward the B.A. degree. Some dental schools accept
students with fewer than four years of col lege training, but most of them prefer
a student with the baccalaureate degree.

The pre-dental student should be familiar with the specific requirements set
by the dental schools to which he plans to apply. There is some variation in the
requirements of the various schools, but the minimum requirements set by
most schools of dentistry are:

Inorganic Chemistry with lab 1 quarter hours

Organic Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours

Biology with lab 10 quarter hours

Physics with lab 10 quarter hours

English 10 quarter hours

All applicants must complete the Dental Admission Test not later than the
October testi ng preced i ng the year of desi red entry.

in Art at LaGrange College. These objectives also include a means of determin-
ing deficiencies prior to graduation so that necessary steps can be taken to cor-
rect these deficiencies.

1 . Development of technical knowledge pertaining primarily to the student's
chosen area of concentration, but not limited to it.

2. Each student should deveiop an artistic vocabulary, especially in their
specific area of concentration.

3. Assist the student in finding and focusing their creative ideas into a consis-
tent body of work.

4. To instruct the student in the correct means of presenting their work in
portfolio and actual form.

5. To give each student an understanding of graduate study in specific studio
areas.

6. Encourage the student to exhibit their work and acquaint them with the
gallery system.

7. To require a freshman review, spring quarter, consisting mainly of portfolio
evaluations.

Departments and Courses

Biology

The Biology faculty works with their majors to help them develop an under-
standing and working knowledge of the life phenomenon at subcellular
through organismic levels. Within the major, a student may elect to emphasize
human biology, field-oriented biology or biochemical and microscopic aspects
of life science.

A plan of study to help the student pursue both the individual's and the
Department's objectives is developed by consultation between the student and
his advisor.

The student is presumed to have accomplished the specific collection of ob-
jectives by satisfactorily completing the courses which constitute his major. A
major in Biology consists of the following courses: Biology 101-102 and 40
more hours of biology as approved by the academic advisor; Chemistry
101-102, 351-352; Mathematics through 111 or 122; Physics 101-102. In addi-
tion, one course from the following must be taken with the approval of the ma-
jor academic advisor; General Science 492, an advanced Chemistry course,
Mathematics 314 or 316, Physics 103.

The approved program of teacher education in secondary science with em-
phasis in Biology and the professional education sequence will satisfy the re-
quirements for a major in Biology.

Graduates of the College who have majored in Biology typically pursue
careers in teaching, pharmacy, medicine, dentistry or physical therapy. In addi-
tion, many graduates find employment in industry some in laboratories,
some in management and others in research and development. Most careers
require further formal study in graduate or professional schools. The Biology
department continues to use the success of its graduates in the job market and
in advanced study as a gauge of the applicability of its goals and the success of
the students in attaining these goals.

Business Administration

I. Introduction

The Business Administration and Economics faculty members intend to ac-
complish three primary goals, within the context of a liberal arts educational
environment, and with the highest possible level of professional competence.
The goals are to help students develop (1) increased understanding of the
nature and purposes of our business system and of our economic system, and
of the relationship of business to the socioeconomic system in which it
operates; (2) increased understanding of and proficiency in the major business
functions; and (3) increased understanding of micro- and macro-economic
theory and policy choices.

The program is designed to serve both the general student population and
department majors. As a contribution to the general requirements area, the
department provides an introduction to economic thought with Eco 149 Prin-
ciples of Macro-economics. The department also provides opportunities for
students majoring in other areas to supplement their curricula by taking
courses which can help them increase their understanding of the role and func-
tioning of business, and of our economic system. This is particularly pertinent
for majors in the Social Sciences and Computer Science.

For students who elect to move beyond this introduction and pursue a major
in business, the department offers several undergraduate degree programs.
Students can pursue the A.A. degree with a major in business; a B.A. with a ma-
jor in business, or in economics; or the Bachelor of Business Administration
degree, with a concentration in either accounting, business economics, or
general business management. The department also offers course work
leading to the Master of Business Administration degree. The Economics pro-
gram is described in the section on Economics, p. 103.

The department provides for the majors the background to enter graduate
and professional schools, and to obtain employment in a wide variety of firms.

II. Objectives

Business Administration For non-majors, the Business Administration
course offerings seek to provide students with the opportunity to develop a
basic understanding of business and its role in the economy, and to gain greater
knowledge of the several major functions of business.

The program for students who pursue the A.A. degree is designed to help
them accomplish a combination of a basic liberal arts foundation plus a basic
understanding in the fundamentals of the several major functional areas of
business.

Departments and Courses

The objective of the B.A. degree program is to provide students with a com-
prehensive understanding of both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of
the functions of business, while giving them an extensive opportunity to pursue
unrelated or related course work. This is the liberal studies degree in business.
There is ample room for electives in this program. It is designed to provide
valuable and useful background for any of a wide variety of career options
which the student may elect to pursue.

The B.B.A. program is designed to provide students with both a comprehen-
sive understanding of enterprise management, and an opportunity to develop
in-depth knowledge and proficiency in one or more specific functional areas.
This degree program provides an additional twenty quarter hours of course
work in the discipline, leading to a concentration in accounting, business
economics, or general business. Many of the students who pursue the B.B.A.
degree are those who seek careers in enterprise management, or as specialists
in the specific area of concentration.

The Master of Business Administration degree program is designed to pro-
vide area residents an opportunity to advance their business education while
maintaining full-time employment. There are two primary purposes of this pro-
gram. The first is to help students increase their understanding of and effec-
tiveness in the key current and emerging managerial concepts and functions
which can contribute to improved managerial performance. The second is to
help students enhance the personal skills and capabilities which are important
to their personal and professional growth and advancement.

Chemistry

The chemistry faculty has several goals: service, liberal arts, and professional
chemistry. The student in chemistry will be seeking one of these goals. Many
students take one or more courses in chemistry as a part of their preparation for
a major in a related area or because they understand that their general educa-
tion is less than complete without an introduction to one of the central sci-
ences. For these students the courses that are offered take into account this
science need. For other students who desire to move beyond this introduction
and pursue a major in chemistry, two degree programs are offered. Students
can pursue the B.A. degree with a major in chemistry or a B.S. degree with a
major in chemistry. Students who pursue the B.A. degree desire to mix their
study of chemistry with an extensive opportunity to pursue unrelated or related
course work. This is the liberal studies degree in chemistry. There is ample
room for electives in this program. A more in-depth degree is earned by
students in the B.S. program. Students who pursue the B.A. will probably seek
careers in nonscience areas such as law, technical sales, general business or in
science-related areas such as secondary education or health-related areas. Stu-
dents who pursue the B.S. degree are those who desire to become industrial
chemists, enter graduate school, or work in government laboratories. The B.S.
degree is a very competitive degree for health-related careers where admission
standards to professional schools are high.

The specific objectives for the respective degrees are as follows:

The Bachelor of Arts Degree

Students who earn the B.A. degree will be appropriately competent in the
following areas:

1 . Atomic and molecular structure and chemical bonding

2. The language of chemistry

3. Equilibria

4. Periodic relationships

5. Thermochemistry

6. Physical measurements on chemical systems

7. Experimental skills, including data organization and analysis

8. Recognition, structure and reactivity of the major organic functional
groups

9. Experimental synthesis and characterization of organic compounds by
physical and instrumental methods (including IRand NMR)

10. An overview of one or more of the following areas: analytical chemistry,
inorganic chemistry and/or biochemistry

Computer Science

The computer science faculty members have several goals. As a service to
the general student population of LaGrange College, courses are offered to ac-
quaint students with the impact of computers on society and the ways in which
computers are used. For students who want further study in computer science,
a minor and two major programs are offered.

Computer science majors in the B.A. and B.S. degree programs should:

1 . be able to write programs in a reasonable amount of time that work cor-
rectly, are well documented, and are readable;

2. be able to determine whether or not they have written a reasonably effi-
cient and well-organized program;

3. know what general types of problems are amenable to computer solution,
and the various tools necessary for solving such problems;

4. be able to assess the implications of work performed either as an in-
dividual or as a member of a team;

5. understand basic computer architectures;

6. be prepared to pursue in-depth training in one or more application areas
or further education in computer science.

7. In addition, students in the B.S. degree program should be able to do
research, be able to convey technical ideas in a clear writing style, and
have the mathematical background necessary for scientific problem-
solving.

To accomplish these objectives, students will do the following: in order to be
a major in the Computer Science Department, a student must have a GPA of
2.25 or better. The student may elect to pursue a B.A. degree, B.S. degree, or a
minor. For all options mentioned, students must take CSc 151, 161, 163, 199,
and one of the following three courses: CSc 180, 185, or 196.

Additional requirements for the B.A. degree include eight 300-level, or
above, computer science courses, to include CSc 300, 305, and 325; and four
mathematics courses, to include Mth 122, 123, and two of the following: Mth
1 24, 335, 370, 410, and either 31 4 or 31 6.

Additional requirements for the B.S. degree include ten 300-level, or above,
computer science courses, to include CSc 300, 305, 325, and 495; five
mathematics courses to include Mth 1 22, 1 23, and three of the following: Mth
124, 335, 370, 410, and either 314 or 316; and Eng 153. In addition, Physics
101 or 121 must be taken as a general requirement.

Additional requirements for the minor include four 300-level, or above, com-
puter science courses, to include CSc 300.

All of the 100-level or above courses in computer science and in
mathematics which are required for the B.S. and B.A. degrees and the minor
must be completed with a grade of C or better.

95

Departments and Courses

The accomplishment of these objectives will be demonstrated by the follow-
ing:

1 . satisfactory performance on a programming test. This test will be based on
the concepts learned in CSc 199 and should be taken at the end of the
quarter in which the student completes CSc 199. The test will be offered
once at the end of every quarter in which CSc 1 99 is offered. The test must
be satisfactorily completed by the end of the quarter in which the student
reaches a total of 135 hours of coursework, but under no circumstance
will the student be allowed to take the test more than four times prior to
and including that quarter. If the test has not been completed satisfactorily
by that time, the student will not be allowed to continue in either the B.A.
or the B.S. degree programs in computer science.

2. satisfactory performance on a comprehensive test administered by the
computer science department. This test will cover concepts learned in
CSc 151, 161, 163, 180/185/196, 199, 300, 305, and 325, and, in addition,
will cover selected topics from other 300-level, and above, computer
science courses. The test must be taken first in the quarter in which the
student reaches a total of 135 quarter hours of coursework. It will be of-
fered once per quarter; however, a student is allowed to take the test a
maximum of four times prior to his or her scheduled graduation. Upon
failure to satisfactorily complete the test in four attempts, the student will
not be allowed to graduate with a major in computer science.

Students who complete the computer science major have a wide range of
employment opportunities. These include positions in sales, programming,
and data processing and control. Graduates of the computer science degree
programs at LaG range College have secured positions as systems engineers,
data processing managers, systems analysts, customer service representatives,
and computer technicians, as well as other positions. Companies employing
these graduates include Bell South, Texas Instruments, General Motors, the
U.S. government, the state of Florida, Hughes Aircraft, and others. Ninety-five
percent of our graduates who enter the job market have been placed in above-
average salary positions.

In addition, a number of graduates have gone on to graduate school in areas
such as computer science and electrical engineering.

The following is the suggested sequence of courses. Course availability is
subject to staffing and other considerations. NOTE: CSc 3+ + means 300-level
or above.

Economics

Introduction:

The Economics and Business Administration faculty members intend to
accomplish three primary goals, within the context of a liberal arts educa-
tional environment, and with the highest possible level of professional
competence. The goals are to help students develop (1) increased
understanding of the nature and purposes of our business system and of
our economic system, and of the relationship of business to the socioeco-
nomic system in which it operates; (2) increased understanding of and
proficiency in the major business functions; and (3) increased understand-
ing of micro- and macro-economic theory and policy choices.

The program is designed to serve both the general student population
and department majors. As a contribution to the general requirements
area, the department provides an introduction to economic thought with
Eco 149 Principles of Macro-economics. The department also provides
opportunities for students majoring in other areas to supplement their cur-
ricula by taking courses which can help them increase their understanding
of the role and functioning of business, and of our economic system. This
is particularly pertinent for majors in the Social Sciences and Computer
Science.

For students who elect to move beyond this introduction and pursue a
major, the department offers several undergraduate degree programs.
Students can pursue the A.A. degree with a major in business; a B.A. with
a major in business, or in economics; or the Bachelor of Business Admin-
istration degree, with a concentration in either accounting, business
economics, or general business management. The department also of-
fers course work leading to the Master of Business Administration degree.
The Business Administration degrees are described on page 80.

The department provides for the majors the background to enter
graduate and professional schools, and to obtain employment in a wide
variety of firms.

Objectives:

Economics:

For non-majors, the Economics course offerings seek to provide stu-
dents with a general understanding of basic economic principles and to
supplement their major field of study with elective courses in various areas
of applied economics.

For majors, the Economics curricula seeks to prepare students for pro-
fessional careers in the private or public sector as well as to prepare them
for additional academic endeavors in Economics or Business Administra-
tion at the graduate level.

103

Departments and Courses

Students completing a major in Economics will have a thorough under-
standing, at the intermediate level, of micro- and macro-economic theory
and policy choices plus a solid foundation in quantitative analysis. They
will also be well informed in the historical development of economic
thought and will have surveyed various specialized areas of applied
economics.

III. To accomplish the objectives students will take the following courses:

Bachelor of Arts (major in Economics)

CSc 151 Introduction to Computer Science

Eco 149 Introduction to Macro-economics

Eco 1 50 Introduction to Micro-economics

Eco 301 Intermediate Micro-economics

The approved program of teacher education in Economics consists of a

minimum of 50 hours as approved by the major academic advisor, and

the professional education sequence. (See page 109.)

IV. The accomplishment of these objectives will be assessed after an intensive
review of the student's progress and accomplishments. The student will
demonstrate this competence by a satisfactory score on a comprehensive
examination, which may include both written and oral segments. The
comprehensive will normally be taken during the student's last quarter.

Education

Teacher Certification

Certification requirements are established by the State of Georgia's Board of
Education. LaGrange College offers a variety of degree programs which are ap-
proved by the State of Georgia's Department of Education and lead to certifica-
tion in Georgia. Students desiring to be certified upon completion of their pro-
grams should plan to work especially closely with their advisers since certifica-
tion requirements are subject to change.

At the undergraduate level, completion of an approved program conducted
by the college qualifies a student to be certified at the NB-4 level. Upon
graduation applicants may qualify for Performance-Based certification (PBT-4)
by attaining a qualifying TCT score and demonstrating acceptable performance
by an on-the-job assessment.

Master of Education programs conducted by the college are designed for stu-
dents entering the program with an NB-4, NT-4, or PBT-4 certificates. Comple-
tion of Master of Education degrees qualifies these individuals at the fifth year
level. Those individuals who do not have at least an NB-4 certificate must take

English Language and Literature

INTRODUCTION

The Department of English Language and Literature offers a wide range of
courses to meet a variety of needs and demands: English for foreign students;
journalism; business and technical writing; English literature, American litera-
ture, and continental literature in translation; freshman composition; and basic
review. The aim of the Department is to teach proficiency in the use of the
English language and to acquaint students with the best of their literary heri-
tage. In our decade of increased specialization and highly restricted curricula
for future lawyers, physicians, engineers, and business executives, it is mislead-
ing to assume that the student interested in language and literature has no
career options outside the field of education. While many dedicated people
find teaching to be a satisfying livelihood, there is documentary evidence "that
training in English and literature, particularly at the college level, is invaluable
preparation for futures in four outstanding professional areas: law, medicine,
business and federal service" (See English: The Preprofessional Major by Lin-
wood Orange. This pamphlet, published in its fourth edition by the Modern
Language Association of America, 1986, is available in the LC Department of
English and in the Office of Admissions.).

OBJECTIVES

All students at LaGrange College must take courses in basic composition and
in literature. Either English 104 or 105 is a prerequisite to the major in English,
which consists of English 302 (Advanced Grammar), English 335 (Shakespeare),
and nine additional courses at 300-level or above. English 302 and 335 are of-
fered once each year. Other courses are offered on an alternating basis so that a
major-level student has a balanced but wide selection from which to choose
his nine "elective" courses.

ACCOMPLISHMENT OF OBJECTIVES

For the English major, there will be an exit examination to be completed
before the student is eligible for graduation. A student may elect 6 of the 7 areas

Departments and Courses

History

The faculty of the Department of History and Political Science believe that all
citizens of the international community, whatever their selected role in life, re-
quire an understanding of their past in order to prepare for their future. The
faculty firmly believe that the liberal arts preparation, which encompasses
courses from the discipline of history, provides the student citizen with the
most appropriate educational background for life by integrating knowledge
from the broadest range of disciplines. The objective of the Department of
History and Political Science is to provide each student of LaGrange College
with knowledge of the historical forces which have shaped civilization as we
know it.

To achieve the very broad objective set forth above, the faculty seeks to:

(A) provide every student with a basic understanding of the historical
forces which have contributed to the development of man and civiliza-
tion.

(B) develop in every student an understanding and appreciation of the
civilizations which together form the contemporary international com-
munity.

The faculty of the department believe that students who select to complete a
major course of study in history should have the foundation knowledge and
understanding of the discipline, developed by classroom instruction and in-
dividual study, necessary to provide them with the opportunity to:

(1 ) pursue graduate study within the discipline.

(2) pursue a professional degree in a selected field of study.

(3) pursue employment as a teacher in p re-collegiate education.

(4) seek employment in a field such as government, entry level historic
documentation and preservation, social or historic entry level
research, or a field where their liberal arts preparation can be
beneficially utilized.

Graduates of the Department of History and Political Science may be found
pursuing careers in business, law, education, politics and government, broad-
casting, journalism, the ministry and other fields of endeavor. In all of these
endeavors our graduates have found that their education has provided a foun-
dation for their careers and for their growth in life.

The Department of History and Political Science offers the following major in
history:

(A) Demand sequence: from the general education curriculum
His 101 and 102 World Civilization
His 1 1 1 and 1 1 2 United States History
We strongly encourage the history major to pursue the widest possible liberal
arts preparation by the careful selection of courses from each of the areas in the
general education structure. Those intending to pursue graduate study or pro-

129

Departments and Courses

fessional study should complete at a minimum two sequential courses in a
foreign language, an introductory course in micro computers, and a public
speaking course.

(B) Demand sequence: from the department

Two courses from:

His 307 Social and Intellectual History of the United States

His 308 American Diplomatic History

His 310 Constitutional History of the United States

Two courses from:

His 372 Eighteenth Century European History

His 374 Nineteenth Century European History

His 375 Twentieth Century European History

His 490 Senior History Seminar is required of all majors

Total: 25 hours

The approved program of teacher certification in history consists of History
101 and 102, completion of the major, History 360 (social science methods),
and the professional education sequence specified on page 109. These
students are strongly encouraged to take History 111 and 112 at the survey
level as well as History 315, Georgia History. Teacher certification re-
quirements also require that at least one 300 level course be completed in two
of the following disciplines: political science, economics, sociology.
Geography 180 may also be used as collateral work.

The remaining twenty-five hours of the major are elective from the three and
four hundred level courses listed in the department offerings below.

Success in achieving the objectives established for the major will be
demonstrated as follows:

(1) successful completion of each major course with a grade of C or better.

(2) successful completion of the senior history seminar and defense of the
senior thesis before the students and faculty of the department.

(3) For those seeking certification in secondary education in the social sci-
ences, attaining a satisfactory score on the teacher criterion reference
test in social sciences.

Those wishing to major in history are encouraged to declare their major by
the beginning of the winter quarter of their sophomore year. Successful com-
pletion of History 101-102 and History 111-112 before entering the major is
highly desirable.

Course Offerings 1987-1988

Upper level courses in history, those numbered 300 or above (with the ex-
ception of His 490) are available to all students who have successfully com-
pleted five hours from the history offerings in the general requirements.

Music

The guiding philosophy of the music program is that music is a humanistic
discipline, enhancing, inspiring and intermingling with the student's physical,
mental and spiritual growth.

There are four interrelated objectives recognized by the program. These ob-
jectives aspire to develop:

1. a command of basic skills in the reading of notation, accomplished in
theory courses and applied keyboard and voice instruction.

2. the development of knowledge and interpretation through the dimen-
sion of musical heritage, accomplished by courses in church music,
music survey and chorus.

3. the awareness of the relevance of the program to personal and profes-
sional goals accomplished through emphasizing a philosophy that music
can be enjoyed and applied on an independent-personal basis and/or a
group-work basis.

4. the special benefits of music in relation to other fields of interest, ac-
complished with the focus on the enhancing of one's major field with the
knowledge and skills of a music minor. For example, music is com-
plementary to drama, religion and public school education.

The program offers a minor in music with emphasis in church music or
musical theatre. Courses must include six quarter hours of piano (or
piano proficiency), Music 112, 114, 340, 341, plus 10 hours from the
following: Music 150, 151, 152, 153, 301, 345, 346. An independent
study in conducting is also available.

The student's work is given periodic review and appropriate sugges-
tions for improvements or changes. In addition, student recitals are re-
quired in applied keyboard studies on a quarterly basis.

Nursing

The purpose of the LaG range College Associate Degree program is to
prepare individuals in a collegiate program for careers in nursing. The graduate
nurse is prepared to function on a beginning level in a structured health care
setting as a provider and manager of patient care, patient teacher, com-
municator, and member within the profession of nursing. The graduate is eligi-
ble to become licensed as a registered nurse upon successful completion of the
National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX-RN). Completion of the
Associate of Arts degree provides a foundation for further studies leading to a
higher degree in nursing or other areas.

Progression Requirements:

*1. Nursing courses are in sequence and a grade of C or higher must be
made in each nursing course in order to successfully complete the course and
continue the sequence (a C is defined as 75-79).

*2. A student who wishes to repeat a nursing course must first complete an
audit of the preceding nursing course. For successful completion of audit, the
student must adhere to the regular classroom attendance policies.

*3. A student who fails to make a C or higher more than once in the se-
quence of nursing courses will not be allowed to continue in the nursing pro-
gram.

4. A grade of C or higher must be made in each required biological science
course. A student who receives two final course grades of D or F in any re-
quired biological science will not be permitted to continue in the nursing pro-
gram.

5. A grade of C or higher must be earned in English 101 and English 102 in
order to progress in the nursing program.

6. A student must successfully complete each biological science course by
the prescribed quarter in order to continue in the nursing sequence.

7. All general college non-nursing courses must be successfully completed
prior to the final quarter of the nursing program.

8. In order to progress to the sophomore level, a nursing student must have
a 2.0 cumulative grade point average.

* 1 , 2, and 3 under progression requirements also apply to a student who receives a U (withdrawn
failing) in a nursing course.

Graduation Requirements:

1 . All curriculum requirements must be successfully completed.

2. An exit exam which covers each of the five clinical areas (Medical,
Surgical, Psychiatric, Pediatric, and Maternity Nursing) will be administered to

142

Departments and Courses

sophomore students at the beginning of Spring Quarter. Each student is re-
quired to achieve a passing score in each of the five areas. Required passing
scores are specified each year by the nursing faculty. If all areas of the exit exam
are not passed, the student must attend scheduled review classes and re-take
the previously failed area exams. A student not passing the exit exams the sec-
ond time will not be graduated at that time and must complete additional nurs-
ing studies specified by the nursing faculty. After completing the specified nurs-
ing studies, the student will be required to retake and pass the exit exams
before being allowed to graduate.

3. An overall quality point average of 2.0 is required for graduation.

Curriculum:

The seven quarter curriculum consists of 58 hours of nursing and 47 hours of
general college courses. The nursing program is offered on a sequential basis
beginning each fall quarter and progressing from the simple to the more com-
plex aspects of nursing. A sample course progression is as follows:

Political Science

The faculty of the Department of History and Political Science believes that
all citizens of the international community, whatever their selected role in life,
must understand political science in order to prepare for their future. The fac-
ulty firmly believes that the liberal arts preparation, which encompasses
courses from political science and history, provides the student with the most
appropriate educational background for life by integrating knowledge from the
broadest range of disciplines. The objective of the Department of History and
Political Science is to provide each student of LaGrange College with
knowledge of the political forces which shape civilization for the future.

To achieve the very broad objective set forth above the faculty seeks to:

(A) provide every student with a basic understanding of the historical and
political forces which have had an effect on the development of man
and the international community in which man must live.

(B) develop in every student an understanding and appreciation of the
civilizations which together form the contemporary international com-
munity.

(C) develop in each student an awareness and appreciation for the political
forces which govern societies and compel those societies to behave as
they do domestically and internationally.

The faculty of the department believes that students who elect to complete a
major course of study in political science should have the knowledge and
understanding of the discipline, developed by classroom instruction and indi-
vidual study, necessary to provide them with the opportunity to:

(1 ) pursue graduate study within the discipline.

(2) pursue a professional degree in a selected field of study.

(3) seek employment in a field such as government, at the state, local or
federal entry level, or to pursue a career where their liberal arts
preparation can be most effectively utilized.

Graduates of the Department of History and Political Science may be found
pursuing careers in business, law, education, politics and government, broad-
casting, and journalism to cite but a few fields of endeavor. In all of these fields
our graduates have found that their education has provided a foundation for
their careers and for their growth in life.

The Department of History and Political Science offers the following major in
political science.

(A) Demand sequence: from the general education curriculum

Political Science (PSc) 101 United States Government
History (His) 1 1 1 -1 1 2 United States History

151

Departments and Courses

We strongly encourage the major to pursue the widest possible liberal arts
preparation by the careful selection of courses from each of the areas in the
general education structure. Those intending to pursue graduate study or pro-
fessional study should complete at a minimum two sequential courses in a
foreign language, an introductory course in micro computers, and a public
speaking course. Political science majors are also strongly urged to complete
the Western Civilization and United States History sequences as these courses
provide the historical foundations necessary for understanding why man's
political institutions and philosophies of government vary so dramatically
within the community of nations.

(B) Majors are encouraged to select and complete Economics 149-150,
Computer Science 163, and Sociology 146 from the general require-
ments of the college since some of the courses in these areas may be
utilized as electives in the major.

(C) Demand sequence: from the department

PSc 300 Political Science Research

PSc 301 State and Local Government

PSc 304 Comparative Politics

PSc 310 Constitutional History of the United States

PSc 380 International Politics

Total demand hours: 25

The remaining twenty-five hours of the major are elective from the three and
four hundred level courses listed in the department offerings below.

Success in achieving the objectives established for the major will be
demonstrated as follows:

(1) Successful completion of each major course with a grade of C or better.

(2) Acceptance by the appropriate graduate program of the student's
choice which has been the subject of the development of the under-
graduate major.

(3) Acceptance by the appropriate professional program of the student's
choice.

Psychology

INTRODUCTION

The goal of this department is to acquaint the student with basic principles of
behavior and the research methods necessary to understand them.

OBJECTIVES

A student who graduates from LaGrange College with a major in psychology
will:

1 . recognize the importance of an EMPIRICAL approach in attempting to
understand behavior.

2. be familiar with the concepts, terms, and explanatory principles charac-
teristic of the following theorists: Freud, Rogers, Maslow, Bandura,
Allport, Erikson, Piaget, Thorndike, Pavlov, Guthrie, Watson, Hull,
Tolman, Skinner, and Kohlberg.

3. be able to evaluate CRITICALLY, through application of the principles of
logico-empirical science, the various theorists listed above.

4. be able to identify and discuss examples of the major "types" of learn-
ing, to wit: classical, operant, observational, information processing.

5. be familiar with generalizations regarding physiological correlates of
behavior.

6. be familiar with the major historical developments in psychology.

7. be familiar with the terminology of the current edition of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-III,
1980).

8. be familiar with the different theoretical approaches (including the psy-
choanalytic, the humanistic, and social learning-behavioral) in the
description, etiology, and therapy of behavioral disorders listed in DSM-
III.

9. be able to list and discuss the various objective and projective personal-
ity assessment techniques including the Rorschach and Holtzman ink-
blots, the Thematic Apperception Test, the MMPI, the Q-sort, the 1 6-PF,
behavioral interviews, behavioral sampling, behavior survey schedules,
the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, The Manifest Hostility Scale, and the
Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory.

10. recognize the basic philosophical (e.g., What is personality?) and meth-
odological issues in psychological research.

11. be familiar with the sections of an APA style research report including
the kinds of information typically found in each.

155

Departments and Courses

12. be familiar with the standard procedures for summarizing data, in-
cluding the construction of frequency tables, the calculation of
measures of central tendency (means, medians, and modes), calcula-
tion of measures of dispersion (range, variance, and standard
deviation), and correlation coefficients.

1 3. be familiar with the logic of hypothesis testing including the statement of
research and statistical hypotheses, the notion of Type I and Type II er-
rors, the power and efficiency of a statistical test, and the major inferen-
tial techniques used in psychology (especial lyt tests, analysis of variance
[one factor], and chi-square).

14. recognize the concepts and principles of psychology as exemplified in
everyday situations.

A major in Psychology consists of the following courses: 300, 302, 303, 350,
460, 470 plus 30 additional hours approved by the advisor. On approval of the
advisor, 15 of these hours may come from outside the Department of Psychol-
ogy, as follows: Sociology 147, 300, 308; Biology 148. No course with a grade
below C may be applied toward a psychology major.

The accomplishment of the psychology objectives will be demonstrated by
obtaining an acceptable score on a test administered by the department. Nor-
mally, this test will be given during the student's final quarter at LaGrange Col-
lege.

Students who complete the major in psychology have many career options.
Psychology is a very broad field which overlaps many different areas. Some of
the jobs taken by recent psychology graduates include management and
supervisory positions in business and industry and positions in community and
state service agencies. A psychology major also serves as good preparation for
advanced study in law, social service, counseling, and psychology.

Psychology 149, Introduction to Psychology, is the prerequisite to all 300 and
400 level psychology courses.

Since this department views psychology as a research-based discipline, it is
recommended that the student complete Psychology 303, Behavioral Statistics,
and Psychology 300, Experimental Psychology, as soon as possible after the
major is declared.

demand that pre-theological students be prepared to enter seminary at the
graduate level in their studies and at the same time have a broad cultural orien-
tation. In addition, the Department is aware of the need for an interdisciplinary
preparation for persons interested in Christian Education. To this end the

Speech Communications and Theatre

INTRODUCTION

The primary goal of the Speech Communications and Theatre department is
to achieve the highest artistic standards within the context of a liberal arts
educational environment. We strive to achieve this by recognizing both our
responsibility to the liberal arts concept and to the professional training of ma-
jors. Therefore, the program is designed to serve both the general student
populace and department majors. The curriculum provides opportunities for
students of all disciplines to improve their communication skills and to develop
an appreciation of theatre. For those students anticipating a career in Speech
Communications and Theatre, the curriculum provides a strong
undergraduate foundation in oral communication, theatre literature, history,
performance, and production. Classroom instruction is enhanced through
practical experience in the form of fully staged productions each quarter.

Students may also participate in department's Summer Repertory Company,
an intensive program in acting, technical theatre, stage management, and
other production areas. Productions are performed at the Callaway Gardens
Resort, 18 miles south of the college campus, in Pine Mountain, Georgia.

OBJECTIVES

Students completing a major in Speech Communications and Theatre will
have an understanding of the theoretical concepts behind each of the three
major divisions within the discipline: oral communication/performance,
design/production, and theatre literature/history.

The student will be able to demonstrate a practical knowledge of the theatre
through participation in department productions.

The student will know the basic structure and the fundamental philosophical
thrust of each of the major dramatic literary movements, from fifth century
Greece to contemporary theatre.

The student will demonstrate an awareness of the historical evolution of the
theatre and be able to identify the significant trends in theatre architecture, and
scenic and costume design.

The student will demonstrate an understanding of the communication's pro-
cess through a variety of oral presentations.

The student will demonstrate a mastery of the theoretical aspects of the
discipline through the completion of a practical project prior to graduation.
