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- About LaCrange College 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. 8 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 About LaGrange College 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. 10 The LaGrange College Campus Library The William and Evelyn Banks Library, a modern air-conditioned academic learning center, provides up-to-date resources to support and enrich the curriculum and to meet informational needs. The Library provides more than 90,000 volumes of books and bound periodicals, microfilm, micro- fiche, microcards, filmstrips, audio-cassettes and records. Additionally, the Library subscribes to six newspapers. The Library is open seven days a week for a total of 77 hours per week, and is staffed by three professional librarians, three para-professional assis- tants, and many student assistants. Group study areas and a seminar room for meetings are available for student and faculty use. The Library is a member of the Southeastern Library Network (SOLINET). The book collection is strengthened by substantial contributions. The Bascom Anthony Book Collection has been endowed by Dr. Mack Anthony in memory of his father. The Hubert T. Quillian Book Collection is supported through substantial gifts by the Rotary Club of LaGrange. The Lucy Lanier Nixon Fund has been endowed by the Wehadkee Foundation, Inc. in memory of Mrs. Lucy Lanier Nixon. A new organization, Friends of the LaGrange College Library, supports the library through the purchase of needed library resources. The group also promotes greater cooperation and communication between the library and the community. The learning process is enhanced at LaGrange College by the Library's special services to students and faculty. Reading, reference, and inter-library loans assistance, by professionally trained librarians, is readily available. The microforms collection includes the complete New York Times from 1851 and many other periodicals. The Irene W. Melson Room, formerly the Special Collections Room, houses many first editions, as well as the Lafayette Collection. Also included are the Florence Grogan papers and first editions of outstanding publications of LaGrange College alumni, faculty and students. The Library was completed in 1 963.

ACADEMIC ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Admission to the Freshman Class: Prior to enrolling, an applicant is expected to complete requirements for graduation from an approved high school. 15 Admissions A total of 15 units is required with a minimum of 11 units within the following areas: English 4 Social Studies 3 Mathematics 2 Science 2 LaGrange College students come from a diversity of public and private sec- ondary school backgrounds. Preference is given to applicants who have had strong academic preparation in high school. A typical matriculant will have completed: English 4 Social Studies 3 College Preparatory Mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, etc.) 3 Science 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.

Nursing students should consult with the Nursing Division concerning re- quired nursing supplies and their projected costs. 25 Financial Information Refund Policy No refund of charges of any nature will be made to any student who is suspended or dismissed for disciplinary reasons. No refunds will be made for courses dropped after dates established by the school calendar. In the event of complete withdrawal from college after registration, refund of tuition will be made from date of registration to date of official withdrawal on the following basis: Regular School Year Summer Withdrawal % Refund % Refund First seven days 90 80 Within 14 days 80 40 Within 21 days 60 Within 28 days 40 After 28 days No refund No refund for room or board will be made to any student who withdraws from the dormitory after registration. For a student withdrawing from college, a charge of $1 1 .00 per day from date of registration to date of official withdrawal will be made in board. There is no refund of room deposit if student does not enroll. The College will not be responsible for loss of or damage to students' per- sonal property. 26 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) of Quarter Needed for Financial Aid Eligibility % 4 35 58 7 65 62 10 100 67 13 140 72 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.

(Roommates are assigned by mutual preference whenever possible.) The college reserves the right of final approval of all room and residence hall assignments. Also, the college reserves the right to move a student from one room or residence hall to another room or residence hall during the year. ROOM DEPOSIT A room deposit of $50 is required of all resident students. The deposit is not a prepayment to be applied to residence hall charges but will remain on deposit with the college to be refunded, provided the student's account with the col- lege is cleared, upon one of the following: (1) change of status from resident student to commuter student, (2) formal withdrawal, or (3) graduation. All re- quests for refund of deposit must be made on the appropriate form within thirty days of leaving the residence hall, otherwise the room deposit will be forfeited.

RESIDENCE GOVERNMENT/ACTIVITIES Each housing unit has a hall council which functions as a governing body and also as a coordinating committee to plan activities within the residence halls such as open houses, movie nights, decorating contests and other special events. 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: Social Sororities Alpha Omicron Pi Kappa Delta Phi Mu Social Fraternities Service Clubs Religious Organizations Honorary Organizations Alpha Phi Alpha Delta Tau Delta Kappa Sigma Pi Kappa Phi Chi Epsilon Rotoract Hilltoppers Baptist Student Union Chi Epsilon Chi Rho Alpha Wesley Fellowship Alpha Mu Gamma (language) Alpha Psi Omega (drama) Pi Gamma Mu (social science) Sigma (science-math) Omicron Delta Kappa (leadership) Phi Tau Chi (religion) Psychology Honor Society 36 Departmental/Special Interest Groups Student Publications Student Development Phi Beta Lambda (business) CRIS Campus Recreation and Intramural Sports Student Nurses Association Choralaires International Students Club LaGrange College Band Art Students League Student Education Association ABC Association of Black Collegians Association of Computer Machinery German Club Deutschen Klub Left- Wing Players The Quadrangle (yearbook) The Hilltop Newspaper (paper) The Scroll (magazine) Hilltopics, the student handbook, is published by the SGA and contains guidelines and regulations for successful campus life.

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.

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.

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. 63 Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs MEDICINE (M.D.) Dr. John Hurd is the adviser. The pre-medical student should select a major as soon as possible and seek the B.A. degree. Medical schools rarely accept candidates with less than the baccalaureate degree. The student should familiarize himself with the requirements of the several medical schools to which he plans to apply. Requirements vary somewhat in the various medical schools, but the minimum requirements of most medical schools are: Biology with lab 15 quarter hours General Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours Organic Chemistry 15 quarter hours Physics 15 quarter hours English 15 quarter hours Every applicant must take the Medical College Admission Test, preferably in the spring preceding the submission of his application to medical school, but no later than the fall of that year.

Political Science 101 may be required, and electives in literature are suggested to make up 90 quarter hours of academic work. Co-operative Programs LaGrange College has a limited number of co-operative programs that are designed to meet student needs in specialized areas. The programs include the following areas. PHYSICAL THERAPY The pre-Physical Therapy adviser is Dr. John Hurd. Most schools which offer training in Physical Therapy award a Bachelor's degree after successful comple- tion of classroom and clinical work. Students are admitted to such programs after completion of 90 quarter hours of work including approximately 20 hours in Humanities, 20 hours in Math and Science, 20 hours in Social Science plus 30 hours in a major field such as Biology. Specific courses to prepare for admis- sion to individual schools should be selected in consultation with the adviser. OPTOMETRY The pre-Optometry adviser is Dr. John Hurd. Though selected students may be admitted to Optometry School after three years of preparation, most are ad- mitted after receiving Bachelors or Masters degrees. Optometry involves four years of study after admission to the program and in some areas also includes a brief internship. Majors in any academic area are acceptable though the stu- dent should include emphasis on the sciences. Preparation for admission to a specific school can be planned with the assistance of the adviser. ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES The adviser for Allied Health Science preparation is Dr. John Hurd. Allied Health Sciences include Dental Hygiene, Dental Lab Technology, Medical Technology, Physical Therapy, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy among others. These programs require from 30 to 90 hours of General Educa- tion either within the program or prior to admission. A plan of preparation for one of the Allied Health Sciences can be arranged with the adviser. 66 Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs Cooperative LaGrange College-Troup County Area Vocational Technical School Program This cooperative arrangement between LaGrange College and Troup Tech results in an associate of arts degree from LaGrange College. Students must be accepted by both Troup Tech and LaGrange College. Students may attend either Troup Tech or LaGrange College during their first year. Upon comple- tion of the prescribed program of study of three or more quarters in length at Troup Tech and the certifying of that completion by the Troup Tech college coordinator and upon completion of the following courses at LaGrange Col- lege, the associate of arts degree is awarded by LaGrange College. Students are responsible for all tuition and fees while attending Troup Tech and for tuition and fees while they are attending LaGrange College. A financial aid award by LaGrange College is generally not applicable to Troup Tech fees. Students enrolled in this program are covered by the housing policy of LaGrange Col- lege. Financial aid awarded by LaGrange College is generally applicable to housing and food at the College while attending Troup Tech. LaGrange College students should consult with the appropriate persons at Troup Tech to deter- mine applicable fees while in attendance at Troup Tech. A complete descrip- tion of the offerings may be obtained by writing: Troup County Area Vocational School, Fort Drive, LaGrange, Georgia 30240; or calling (404) 882-0080.

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. 101.

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. 80 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. III.

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.

(1) Departments and Courses 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 Eco 302 History of Economic Thought Eco 303 Intermediate Macro-economics Eco 331 Money and Banking Eco 450 Senior Seminar 1 5 additional hours in economics Mth 31 4 Statistics Mth 360 Finite Mathematics 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. 104 Departments and Courses V. Students who complete the majors offered in the department have found employment in a number of organizations, including public service (military and non-military, federal, state or local), education, manufactur- ing, finance and retailing.

Emphasis will also be given to various roles expected of a teacher, alternative approaches to classroom discipline, both large and small group organization, and awareness of teacher stress, causes, and related problems. 116 Departments and Courses 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.

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.

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.

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. Those wishing to major in political science are encouraged to declare the major at the beginning of the winter quarter of the sophomore year. Successful completion of Political Science 101 and History 111-112 before entering the major is highly desirable. COURSE OFFERINGS IN POLITICAL SCIENCE 1987-1988 101. United States Government.

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.

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. 169 Departments and Courses GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SPEECH COMMUNICATIONS AND THEATRE MAJOR A student graduating with a major in Speech Communications and Theatre must meet all of the following criteria: a.
