This mission provides a college environment that enables students to dis- cover and value that which is excellent in life; an environment which produces graduates prepared to accept responsibility in contemporary society; and an environment distinguished by a faith in God and by an understanding of humankind's place in the universe. Since 1831 many men and women, sustained by their faith in God and in humankind, have nurtured and promoted LaGrange College. These men and women have studied, taught, administered and given of their resources so that the mission of excellent Christian higher education would be realized at LaGrange College, a college associated with The United Methodist Church since 1856. This mission of over 150 years has been the basis of the programs at LaGrange College. Today the College continues to seek ways to achieve this mission and fulfill its purpose: by emphasizing undergraduate education with a firm commitment to liberal arts. This is done through the strong general education curriculum and major programs. These major programs are in the liberal arts and sciences as well as other compatible professional areas. by offering, where resources permit, academic study in particular areas specifically in response to current community needs. Currently these programs include nursing, graduate business administration, graduate teacher educa- tion, and social work. by fostering out-of-class enrichment (lectures, plays, exhibits, concerts, interest and honor groups) and extracurricular activities (intramural and inter- collegiate athletics, religious organizations and opportunities, service organi- zations, social organizations and student publications). by promoting healthy guided opportunities for physical activities. by offering opportunities for inter-cultural experiences in the academic and social programs. by striving to maximize student success through a strong academic support system, counseling and placement services. by seeking to attract and retain a faculty who are not only highly com- petent in their disciplines but who also identify with the mission of the College. by providing a constructive influence on the local area through con- tributing intellectual, cultural and social leadership; by offering educational opportunities to area citizens; and by encouraging faculty, staff and student participation in local organizations. About LaCrange Col lege 1 7 by recruiting students who, through scholastic achievement and poten- tial as well as personal motivation, have indicated their desire to undertake the LaCrange College program. by striving to increase its resources at a rate which preserves the finan- cial well-being of the College, supports existing programs, including Student Aid, and facilitates program development to meet changing needs and to achieve improvements in quality. Adopted by Faculty, Administration, and Board of Trustees, 1990. History and Description The history of LaCrange 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 College, 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 coeducational 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 Confer- ence of The United Methodist Church. 81 About LaCrange College Strong in the liberal arts, LaGrange College has an outstanding reputation in pre-professional programs, including pre-medical and allied fields, pre-law, pre-theology, and engineering.

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 includes 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.

Admission /15 A total of 15 units is required with a minimum of 11 units within the fol- lowing areas: English 4 Social Studies 3 Mathematics 2 Science 2 LaGrange College students come from a diversity of public and private secondary school backgrounds. Preference is given to applicants who have had strong academic preparation in high school.

A basic understanding of Computer Science is also encouraged. Scores from either the SAT (administered by the College Entrance Examina- tion Board) or ACT (administered by the American College Testing Program) are required 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 Educa- tional 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 stu- dent'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 College. 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 completed 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 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 16 / Admission combined or a composite 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 aca- demic units to graduate and who very often lack sufficient challenge, LaGrange College has adopted a policy for Joint Enrollment at both the Col- lege 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 writ- ing 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 program must earn a grade point average of 1.3 during the first quarter or in the first 15 hours of college work. Further information is available from the Director of Admission. Transfer Students: A student who has been in attendance at another insti- tution may apply for transfer to LaGrange College if he is eligible to return to that institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. A student may be accepted on probation under the standard probation regulations. All records, including transcripts of all college work attempted, must be com- plete before the student is admitted to LaGrange College. Applicants may enroll at the beginning of any quarter. LaGrange College does not accept D grades. Acceptable credit from a junior college is limited to 100 quarter hours. Credits from senior colleges beyond 145 quarter hours may be accepted, but the LaGrange College residency requirement, the general education cur- riculum, and appropriate major coursework must be satisfied. LaGrange College is accredited by the Commission of Colleges of the South- ern Association of Colleges and Schools and, accordingly, accepts course- work from similarily regionally accredited colleges and universities. 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 Applica- tion for Transient Status which is available from the Admission Office. Non-degree Undergraduate Students: Students not working toward a degree may register as non-degree undergraduate students in any course for which they have the necessary preprequisites. An application for Non-degree Under- graduate Student Status may be obtained through the Admission Office. Stu- dents classed as Non-degree Undergraduate Students may become Regular Students by meeting requirements for regular admission. Admission /17 Readmission Students: Following an absence from LaG range 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 Admission Office. In the event that a student seeking readmission has attended another insti- tution as a transfer (not transient) then that student when readmitted is treated as a new transfer student and is subject to the Bulletin in force at the time of transfer back to LaG range. On the other hand, students who have not attended another institution are generally governed by the catalog in force at the time of their initial admission. An exception is that students who have been out of school for four calendar years or more re-enter under the Bulletin in force at the time of readmission and resumption of study. International Students: In the past few years the College has hosted stu- dents 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 an international student requires a TOEFL examination with a minimum score of 500 for students for whom English is not their first lan- guage. 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 per- formances in secondary school and university, if applicable. The Dean of Admission should be contacted for the current interpretation of the regula- tions concerning obtaining a Student Visa. If the prospective student is in the United States, an interview at the College is desirable and may often be substituted for a TOEFL score. ADMISSION TO GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM Regular Admission Prospective candidates for this program will be thoroughly evaluated and screened by an admission committee chosen by the Executive Committee of the Graduate Council.

The amount of this grant for 1991-92 is $911. 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 of three quarters duration. Summer Quarter costs and curriculum are available in a separate bulletin. Nursing students should consult with the Nursing Division concerning required nursing supplies and their projected costs. All students must present proof of health insurance at the time of registra- tion. If the student has no insurance, the college will make a charge for limited coverage group sickness and accident insurance. Financial Information 1 23 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: Regi jlar School Year Summer Withdrawal % Refund % Refund During Drop/Add 100 100 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 col- lege, a charge of $15.00 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. Students eligible for the State of Georgia Tuition Grant must be enrolled for a minimum of 14 days after the drop/add period to receive credit for the grant. The College will not be responsible for loss of or damage to students' per- sonal property. 24/ 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 institution, a financial need is established. We at LaGrange College will do all we can to assist you in meeting that need. The student should be pre- pared to assume a measure of responsibility through limited work or through borrowing a reasonable portion of any financial need. Foreign students are not eligible for scholarships or financial aid unless they hold permanent residency status. All aid is awarded without regard to race, sex, sexual prefer- ence, creed, color or national origin. General Information Financial need is computed by using a standard need analysis system with confidential information submitted by parents and students. The Financial Aid Form (FAF) administered by the College Scholarship Service is the need analysis preferred by LaGrange College. However, we will accept any of the federally approved need analysis documents. Applicants for financial assistance need not be accepted for admission to apply. However, the student must be accepted for enrollment before an official aid award can be made. Financial aid awards are made for each aca- demic year. Therefore, students must complete a need analysis each year. Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid 1. Apply for admission to the college through the Admission Office. 2. Submit the FAF to the processor for processing as soon as possible after January 1. This form may be obtained from high school counselors or the Office of Student Financial Planning at the College. 3. Submit the LaGrange College Financial Aid Application to the Office of Student Financial Planning. This form is available upon request. 4. All Georgia residents should complete and submit the Georgia Student Grant Application for the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant to the Office of Student Financial Planning. This form is available only from private colleges in Georgia. It may be completed in advance of regis- tration or at registration but no later than the last day of late registration. Financial Planning/25 5. Transfer students requesting assistance must submit a Financial Aid Tran- script (FAT) from all post-secondary institutions previously attended whether or not financial assistance was received. These forms may be obtained by contacting the Office of Student Financial Planning or the institutions previously attended. Determination of Eligibility for Need-Based Assistance The College annually prepares a cost of attendance budget which is com- posed of tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transporta- tion and miscellaneous expenses. The expected family contribution (EFC) as determined by the processed Need Analysis document is subtracted from the appropriate budget and the remainder is unmet need. The Office of Student Financial Planning then prepares a financial aid award based on this unmet need. Funds are awarded to students as their financial aid file is completed. Budgets for 91-92: Undergraduates residing in the dormitories $10,878 Undergraduates residing with parents 9,183 Undergraduates residing elsewhere 14,348 Nursing students residing in the dormitories 11,707 Nursing students residing with parents 10,012 Nursing students residing elsewhere 15,177 Graduate students residing in the dormitories 9,095 Graduate students residing with parents 7,400 Graduate students residing elsewhere 12,565 RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENT Student Eligibility A. Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States. B. Be accepted for admission or currently enrolled in an approved degree- seeking program at the College. C. Be making Satisfactory Academic Progress toward the completion of your course of study according to the "Academic Probation Regulations'' and "Satisfactory Academic Progress" policies published in the LaGrange College Bulletin. D. Not be in default on a Perkins/National Direct Student Loan or Stafford Loan/Guaranteed Student Loan nor owe a refund on any Pell Grant or Sup- plemental Education Opportunity Grant received while attending any post- secondary institution. Student Financial Aid Policy Each year the Office of Student Financial Planning receives request for more funds than are available. First priority for assistance awarded goes to 26/ Financial Planning eligible students who are enrolled full-time in pursuit of the first baccalaure- ate degree. Students who are enrolled at least half-time are eligible for assistance. Special students (those not enrolled in a degree seeking program), transient students and unclassified graduate students are not eligible for any type of assistance. Students who received aid awarded by the College during the academic year will be given preference for summer awards contingent upon availability of funds. Students who receive academic scholarships are not required to complete a "need analysis" document although all students are encouraged to do so. All undergraduate Georgia residents must apply for the State Student Incen- tive Grant and the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant. Any aid that a student receives or expects to receive from any outside source must be reported to the Office of Student Financial Planning. This includes scholarships, grants, and loans. The receipt of such aid may result in a reduction, cancellation, and/or repayment of your need based assistance. Disbursement of Funds Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan, Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant, Academic Scholarships, State Incentive Grant and Institutional Grants are automatically credited against the student's charges and are reflected on the charge sheet at registration. Perkins Loan recipients must sign a promissory note at registration and complete an initial interview questionnaire. Funds from the Stafford Loan program come to the College in the form of a check payable to the student and sometimes the College. Recipients must sign a copy of the check to receive loan proceeds and first time bor- rowers must complete a counseling form prior to disbursement. Loan pro- ceeds for first time first year borrowers will be held for the first 30 days of the enrollment period. All work programs are paid monthly directly to the student. Payroll checks are mailed to the student's campus post office box on the 10th of the subse- quent month. Exception: a student who owes a balance to the Business Office must collect their check from the Business Office. Determination of Placement for Employment Students are first assigned employment in their designated choice of posi- tions until such time as all those positions are filled; placements are then assigned according to the need of other departments and areas on campus requesting student assistance. Financial Planning 1 27 Off Campus Employment Local businesses employ students in part-time positions. Such employment is usually arranged by the student and not the College. The Office of Career Planning and Placement maintains current job opportunity information and can advise students concerning employment opportunities and responsibilities. Responsibilities of Financial Aid Recipients 1. You must get a campus post office box (there is no charge). 2. You must let the Office of Student Financial Planning know any time that you drop classes, or fail to enroll as a full time student (12 or more hours). 3. You must notify the Office of Student Financial Planning any time you change your living arrangements from that which you designated on the Need Analysis document you originally filed (if you move home, move on campus, or if you move elsewhere). 4. You must notify the Office of Student Financial Planning of changes in you household size and number in post-secondary institutions at any time during the award year when said changes occur. Work Aid and College Work Study Rights and Responsibilities 1. Job assignments are available in the Office of Student Financial Planning the day after registration. You must come by personally to get your assignment. 2. Earnings from work are not credited at registration. Time sheets are due on the last working day of the month. There is no penalty for failure to work your hours, except that you are not compensated for hours not worked. Payroll is run monthly. 3. In accepting assistance from either work program you are agreeing to per- form satisfactory work as determined by your supervisor. An annual evalu- ation is filed with the Office of Student Financial Planning. 4. Scheduling of hours will be mutually agreed upon by both the student and the supervisor as determined by the quarterly class schedule and work load of the office. 5. Transfers from one position to another will be done at the supervisor's request. Transfers due to unsatisfactory work habits can result in loss of eligibility for either work program. 6. Unexcused absences from work will not be tolerated. Three unexcused absences can result in termination of eligibility. You should always notify your superior when an absence is necessary, in advance, if possible, so your position can be covered. 28 / Financial Planning 7. You are not allowed to work more than the number of assigned hours, if you do, you will not be compensated. 8. Recipients of work must complete a W-4 federal withholding form with the college Business Office. Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1980 and 1986, requires that a student be maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress in their course of study in order to receive any Title IV financial aid. Satis- factory progress will be implemented throughout the entire course of study prior to and including periods when a student receives Title IV aid or state aid. The minimum academic progress requirements for all students, whether or not they are receiving Title IV aid or state aid, are those academic require- ments imposed by LaG range College as stated in the LaG range College Bulletin section titled "Academic Probation Regulations." Academic proba- tion or suspension are the same for enrollment as for financial aid eligibility. (If a student is allowed to continue enrollment on probation they continue eligibility to receive financial aid; if they are suspended from enrollment their future eligibility for financial aid is terminated). The Dean of the College is charged with the responsibility of monitoring this part of the Satisfactory Aca- demic Progress Policy. Once the determination of enrollment eligibility is assessed, the Dean follows with a memo to the Office of Student Financial Planning showing those students who have been suspended from enrollment. This part of the policy is monitored quarterly. A student must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA at the end of the second year (regardless of course load) or that which is consistent with the institution's policy governing academic progress. LaGrange's policy requires a 1.65 at the end of the 1st year, a 1.75 at the end of the 2nd year, a 1.85 at the end of the 3rd year and a 2.0 at the end of the 4th year. The policy of the institution will be the deciding factor in assessing Satisfactory Academic Progress. Beyond those minimum requirements, there are some others for Title IV aid recipients and the recipients of the Georgia State Tuition Equalization Grant. Title IV aid programs are Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Oppor- tunity Grant, College Work Study, Perkins Loan, Stafford Loans, PLUS/SLS, State Student Incentive Grant and the State Tuition Equalization Grant. If a student accepts aid from any program listed above, the student must earn at least the following number of cumulative credits based on full-time status (17 hours per quarter to be on schedule for graduation in 4 years) according to the following sequence of academic quarters: Financial Planning / 29 At the End You must have earned a of Quarter minimum number of hours 3 30 6 65 9 115 12 155 15 195 This means that students who drop courses, withdraw frequently, fail to complete courses (incompletes), repeat courses, or take courses not related to their degree objective would not be considered to be making Satisfactory Academic Progress as they would not graduate within the specified 15 quarter time frame. LaGrange College does not offer non-credit remedial courses. TO MAINTAIN ELIGIBILITY FOR TITLE IV FEDERAL AID PROGRAMS OR STATE PROGRAMS A STUDENT MUST MEET ALL THREE (3) CRITERIA SPECIFIED: GRADE POINT AVERAGE, MINIMUM NUMBER OF HOURS EARNED, AND BE WITHIN THE 15 QUARTER TIME FRAME. Students who do not meet the Academic Probation Regulations of the insti- tution, i.e. are suspended, do not earn the number of hours required or who exceed the time frame will have all sources of federal and state assistance terminated at the time that such determination has been made. Students who have their financial aid terminated may have their aid rein- stated pending approval by the Office of Student Financial Planning Appeals Committee and the availability of funds at that time. Information on Satisfactory Academic Progress for part-time students is available from the Office of Student Financial Planning. This policy is monitored quarterly for suspensions and time frame, and annually for the minimum number of hours required. The GPA requirement (since it is the same as the Academic Probation Policy of the Institution) will be monitored by suspending aid for those students who are suspended from the institution by the Academic Dean. The time frame and number of hours earned will be monitored by the Director of the Office of Student Financial Planning utilizing the academic records of the College to insure that the stu- dent has earned the required number of hours per the specified time incre- ment (3 quarters). Conditions of Reinstatement The Financial Aid Appeals Committee may set specific terms for re-attaining eligibility which may include a student's paying his/her own expenses for a specified time or for a specified number of hours. Any special terms for read- mission to the College will also play a part in re-establishing eligibility. It will be the responsibility of the student to notify the Financial Aid Office once any special requirements have been met. 301 Financial Planning Appeal Procedure A student may appeal the denial of aid (with the exception of the fifteen quarter time limit) if mitigating circumstances have occurred. This appeal should be submitted in writing to the Director of the Office of Student Finan- cial Planning who will submit the appeal before a Financial Aid Appeals Committee. (This letter of appeal should include (a) reason for failure to meet whichever requirement was not met and (b) reasons why aid should not be terminated.) The Committee, for purpose of hearing the appeal, shall con- vene within two weeks of the date of receipt of the written appeal and shall inform the Director of their decision in writing who will then inform the stu- dent of the decision within one week of the hearing. FEDERAL TAX LAW The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contained provisions regarding the federal income tax treatment of scholarships and grants. If a student receives scholar- ships or grants from LaGrange College or any other source, that student should be aware of the following: Under the law, only qualified scholarships or grants may be excluded from the recipient's gross income. Qualified Scholarships or Grants are amounts awarded to degree seeking candidates and used for tuition, required fees, books, supplies and equip- ment required for courses of instruction. If the award specifies that any por- tion of the scholarship or fellowship may not be used for these described expenses or if it designates any portion of the award for purposes other than those expenses just described (room, board, transportation, or living expenses), those designated amounts are not qualified scholarships or grants. Awards in excess of the described expenses are to be included in the recipient's gross income (an unearned income). Included within the definition of scholarships and grants and thus possibly subject to taxation, are scholarships and grants awarded on the basis of aca- demic merit, talent, financial need or any other factors; state and federal grants, including Pell Grant; athletic grant-in-aid; and tuition remissions or reductions (resident assistant grant). Awards may come from LaGrange College, from state or federal agencies, or from private organizations. Any cost related to room and board for which the student receives finan- cial aid in the form of a grant or scholarship will be fully taxable. Resident Assistant and SIMS Scholarship recipients will be affected by these provisions. It is important that the student keep copies of documents which will estab- lish the amounts of scholarships and the amount paid for tuition, required fees, books, supplies and course-related equipment. Records might include award letter from the Office of Student Financial Planning, check stubs from scholarships, charge sheets from registration, receipts from the Business Office and receipts for the purchase of books, supplies and equipment. Financial Planning / 31 Neither LaGrange College nor any other awarding agency is required to report scholarships or grants to the Internal Revenue Service; reporting of such income for tax purposes is the sole responsibility of the recipient. Estimated Tax: The grantor of a grant or scholarship does not withhold taxes. With no withholding the student may be liable for the payment of estimated taxes. Generally, you must make estimated tax payments if your estimated tax pay- ment will be $550 or more for the tax year. If you do not pay enough esti- mated tax you may have to pay a penalty. This information is not intended as tax advice and the student is encouraged to seek the assistance of a tax advisor. For more information pertaining to the taxability of grants and scholar- ships the student may wish to order publication 520 from the Internal Revenue Service. The address is P.O. Box 25866, Richmond, VA 23289. Verification of Financial Aid Application Data Verification is the process by which the Office of Student Financial Plan- ing checks reported application data against appropriate documents utilized to complete the Need Analysis form. Federal regulations require that we verify at least 30% of the applications that we receive. Those selected are those specified by the processor which are determined by a federal edit check system. We also reserve the right to verify any application not selected by the edit system. No financial aid award will be made nor loan application certified until the verification process has been completed. DOCUMENTS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED ARE: 1. Federal tax returns for both the student and the parent for the previous tax year (W-2 forms issued by employers are not tax returns). 2. Year-end documents or written certification issued by the Social Security Administration regarding annual amount of benefits paid to a household. 3. Marriage license, divorce decrees, proof of separation for married couples (both parents and student). 4. A written statement that parents will not claim an independent student or graduate student for the subsequent tax year. 5. Documents showing the amount of child support received in the house- hold of a divorced or separated student or parent. 6. A list of family members including age and post-secondary institution of each family member of the applicant. 32/ Financial Planning 7. Any source of income not reported on the tax return. 8. Benefits paid from the Department of Family and Children Services for Aid to Families to Dependent Children. 9. A notarized statement that no tax return was filed and that no income from work was earned. 10. Federal tax returns back to 1985 for both the student and parent to deter- mine dependency status of the applicant. Deadlines for Submitting Verification Documents LaGrange College's Office of Student Financial Planning will notify the applicant, upon receipt of the processed need analysis document, if specific documents are required. If no documents are required the applicant will receive an official award notification. Documents must be received at the College within 30 days of notification or no award will be processed. Correction of Need Analysis Data If errors are detected during the verification process, corrections for all programs with the exception of Pell Grant will be done in-house on the PC; errors on Pell Grant Student Aid Report documents will be made and returned to the applicant for appropriate signatures and mailing instructions to get corrections made. Referrals If an institution has reason to believe that the information on an applica- tion is incorrect and has made a determined but unsuccessful effort to resolve the problems, the institution may refer the case to the Department of Education. Suspected Fraud Institutions are required to refer applicants who may have engaged in fraud or other criminal misconduct in connection with the aid application to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Education, or, if more appropriate, to a State or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction to investigate the matter. Fraud may exist if the institution has reason to suspect: false claims of independent student status; false claims of citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; use of false identities; forgery of signatures or certifications; false certification (e.g., Drug-Free Workplace, educational purpose); and false statements of income. a pattern of mis-reported information from one year to the next. unreported prior loans or grants, and receipt of concurrent full grants during one award year. Financial Planning / 33 REFUND AND REPAYMENT POLICIES REFUND POLICY: The refund policy for students withdrawing is oulined in the catalog under "Refund of Fees" and ranges from 90% the first 7 days of classes to 40% through the 28th day of class. Georgia residents receiving credit for Tuition Equalization Grant must be con- tinuously enrolled for 14 days beyond drop/add to receive the funds. Course drops reducing courseload below 12 hours will result in the loss of these funds. Students on financial aid will not receive refunds until funds representing financial aid awards have been applied back to the respective accounts. Normally the refunds will be returned to the program on a prorated basis and according to the components of the financial aid package. LaGrange College does not advance any funds to students prior to the date of registration for that period of enrollment. Financial aid is considered to be used first for direct educational costs tuition and fees, room and board, if in College housing. Therefore, if a stu- dent withdraws and is scheduled to receive a refund of tuition and fees, funds will be returned to the appropriate program(s) from which the student receives funds and the balance to the student. Students who receive cash disbursements on or after registration for that enrollment period will be assessed liability for repayment of the appropriate percentage of the refund due the title IV programs upon withdrawal, expul- sion, or suspension. REPAYMENT POLICY: Some programs have specific repayment provisions for students who withdraw. If the refund is insufficient to cover the required repayment, it will be the responsibility of the student to make the necessary repayment. A student owing a repayment to any federally-sponsored student aid program cannot receive any type of federally-supported student aid disbursement for future enrollment periods unless repayment arrangements have been made with the Office of Student Financial Planning.

LaGrange College does not award athletic scholarships for any athletic pro- gram. Academic scholarship recipients are notified in early spring regarding awards and award amount for the subsequent school year. All correspon- dence regarding scholarships should be with the Director of the Office of Student Financial Planning and never with the donors.

Some regulations may not be agreeable to every- one 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. Regu- lations 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 judgment, is undesirable and whose continuation in the school is detrimental to himself or his fellow students. Futhermore, 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 enjoyed by other citizens generally. Students are subject to such disciplinary action as the Administration of the College may consider appropriate, includ- ing 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 stu- dents. A complete description of student conduct policies, rules and regula- tions can be found in Hilltopics, the student handbook. 54 / Student Development 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 4:00 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 avail- able accident and sickness coverage through a private carrier at reasonable rates. Application forms are available at registration or through the Business Office. Career Center The Career Center is located in the Callaway Student Center. It contains up-to-date career-related materials, occupational information, and a micro- computer with programs to assist students discover their occupational inter- ests. The Center also keeps up-to-date information regarding certification and license requirements and qualifying examinations. Other services of the Career Center include seminars on the employment process, resume preparation, effective interviewing techniques and letter writing campaigns. Counseling and Testing An important part of the philosophy of LaGrange College is that each stu- dent 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 them- selves so they are better able to make informed personal, academic and voca- tional choices. In addition to individual counseling, group programs are available on topics such as Study Skills, Test Anxiety Reduction, Career Plan- ning, 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 prob- lems which may occur. This special program is staffed by identified faculty members who coordinate the programs of the Freshman Experience. The Office of Student Development also administers the Scholastic Apti- tude Test (SAT), and the College Level Examination Program, as part of the College's Advanced Placement Program. The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is also available for graduate students. In addition, information about other national testing programs, e.g. as the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and the National Teacher Exam (NTE) is available in this office. Student Development/ 55 Vehicle Registration To insure efficient control of traffic and parking on campus and the safety of all persons and vehicles, every vehicle must be registered and must have an affixed current decal. These decals are issued to students, along with a copy of existing parking regulations. There is a fee. Failure to adhere to pub- lished policies may result in vehicles being towed. Student Appeal of Decisions Recognizing that decisions must be made and that some students may feel aggrieved by some decisions, LaGrange College provides the following procedures: A student must first attempt to resolve an issue with the college staff mem- ber 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 judi- cial board may be appealed to the Dean of Student Development. Disciplinary decisions rendered originally by the Dean of Student Development may be appealed in writing to the Dean of the Col- lege who shall seek in an informal conference to settle the griev- ance to the satsifaction of the two parties involved. If no resolution can be found, the Dean of the College will deliver the appeal to the Student Affairs Committee of the faculty for its determination. (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 as above. II. Financial Aid. See page 30. III. Academic Matters. See page 73. 56/ Academic Programs and Degree Requirements INTRODUCTION The statement of purpose of LaGrange College describes the mission of the College. Faculty members and the staff of the College implement aca- demic and nonacademic programs toward the fulfillment of that mission. Undergirding all of the academic programs at LaGrange is the fundamental commitment to the liberal arts. Therefore, LaGrange College is first and fore- most a liberal arts college. The College mission includes a commitment to helping to meet community needs. That commitment prompts the College to offer certain associate or graduate programs that are coherent with the four-year baccalaureate programs. The underlying philosophy of liberal learn- ing is found in all parts of the curriculum of the College but is most obvious in the structure of the General Education Curriculum, that part of the curricu- lum that serves as foundation and complement to the major. All baccalaureate majors share the same general education curriculum. That general education curriculum represents just under fifty percent of a student's formal study at the College. The curriculum is designed to provide the components of a liberal arts education that historically have proved to be of lasting value. Those compo- nents include skills such as strategies for college success, writing, computa- tion, speaking, problem-solving, computer utilization, and analytical thinking. Additionally, there are knowledge components including history, social studies, science, literature, religious heritage, modern foreign languages, and health. These skills and knowledge areas, while being taught and learned in specific courses, are integrated into the total college experience, and the desired result is that students will be better able to function within social institutions, to use science and technology, and to use and understand the role of the arts in culture, They, likewise, will be better able to communicate, to solve prob- lems, and to analyze and clarify their own value system. THE MAJORS A student may choose to pursue one of three baccalaureate degrees: the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of science, and the bachelor of business admin- istration. Most students pursue one of these baccalaureate degrees. In addi- tion to the baccalaureate degree programs, students may earn an associate of arts or a masters degree, a post-baccalaureate degree. Academic Programs and Degree Requirements 1 57 The associate degree and the baccalaureate degree each contain a sub- stantial general education component and extensive specified course work in the discipline in which the student has chosen to major. The degrees offered and the majors available for the degrees are given. Bachelor of Arts Art and Design Art Education Biology Business Administration Chemistry Christian Education Computer Science Economics Education Early Childhood Middle Childhood Secondary (Economics, English, Chemistry, Biology, History, Mathematics) English History Mathematics Physics Political Science Psychology Religion Social Work Spanish Speech Communications and Theatre Bachelor of Science Chemistry Computer Science Mathematics Physics Bachelor of Business Administration Business Administration with a concentration in one of the following areas: Accounting Business Economics General Business Management 581 Academic Programs and Degree Requirements In addition to these four-year baccalaureate degrees, LaGrange College offers the Master of Education Degree, the Master of Business Administra- tion Degree, and the Associate of Arts Degree. The degrees and the concen- tration within the degree are given: Master of Education Degree Early Childhood Education Middle Childhood Education Master of Business Administration General Business with emphasis on the management function Associate of Arts Degree Business Administration Criminal Justice Liberal Studies Nursing All majors offered are described in detail in the Department and Courses section. Major Requirements, Time Restrictions Coursework requirements in major programs necessarily change in response to evolving curriculum concerns and changing student needs. Students' major requirements are governed by the Bulletin in force at the time of the declara- tion of major. The declaration of major is initiated in the registrar's office. At the discretion of the department chairman, students may be required to demonstrate proficiency and/or currency in the subject matter if the major coursework is older than five (5) academic years. Normally credit hours earned in the major may not be applied to the completion of the major if the hours earned are older than eight years dated from the date of the student's initial matriculation. Students who have been out of school longer than two years must again declare their majors. Academic Programs and Degree Requirements 1 59 Independent Study in the Major In certain majors 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 formal course and lying within the capabilities of the library and labora- tories. In order to be eligible for independent study the student must have at least a 3.0 average in major courses. Total credit which can be earned through independent study normally will not be more than 10 quarter hours. Written permission to enroll in such a course must be obtained from the instructor, the head of the department concerned, and the Dean of the Col- lege. These courses carry the numbers 495 and 496. A descriptive syllabus including the method of evaluation must be submitted with the petition. Senior Honors in the Major 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 depart- ments. This program carries the course number 499, with five quarter hours credit in each participating department, with the designation "Honors Course." Applications must be submitted in writing to the Dean of the College. Assessment in the Major The faculty members who are responsible for instruction in the major pro- grams have identified specific objectives for a major in that discipline. There is an assessment, devised by the faculty in the discipline, that determines the extent to which the objectives have been met by the student. That assess- ment is a requirement for students who graduated in June 1990, or who will graduate thereafter. The assessment styles are varied. Students should care- fully explore with their adviser in their intended major the nature of the assess- ment. A satisfactory assessment in the major is a requirement for the degree. The chairman of the department offering the major must certify satisfactory completion of the assessment component. Students who fail to complete satisfactorily the assessment in the major and exhaust reassessment opportunities at the departmental level may appeal the decision of the department as described in the Academic Procedures and Regulations section. Advice and Counseling in the Major All students are assigned an academic adviser. Prior to the declaration of a major a student is advised by his or her Freshman Seminar (Col 101) instructor. Subsequent to declaring a major, the students and the department chairman work together in planning a program. The ultimate responsibility for select- ing the proper courses in order to complete the desired degree is the respon- sibility of the student. 60/ Academic Programs and Degree Requirements GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM The goals and objectives for general education have been described. The curriculum is designed to be completed within three academic years with coursework from the major being merged with the general education during the sophomore and junior years. Ninety-five quarter hours in the general education curriculum are taken in two parts, one which is essentially nonelective (the common core), and the second which allows the student latitude in the selection of course work. Common Core: 40 hours Course Freshman Seminar English, Grammar and Composition 1 Eng. 101, 102, 103 History (select one sequence) World Civilization (His 101, 102) or United States History (His 111, 112) Mathematics 110, 111, or 122 1 (by placement) Computer Science (CSc 163) Religion (Rel 101) Speech (Spc 105) Physical Education Activities Common Core Total Credit Year Taken 2 hours Freshman Year 9 hours Freshman year 10 hours Freshman year 5 hours Freshman year 2 hours Freshman year 5 hours as best scheduled 3 hours as best scheduled 4 hours as best scheduled 40 hours Electives: 1.

Placement Appropriate placement in certain courses is essential. During the first few days on campus all students will undergo diagnostic assessment. These inven- tories are necessary for (1) planning for majors and careers, (2) providing the comparison levels for subsequent general education assessment, and (3) deter- mining current skill levels in foreign languages, mathematics and English. Placement in foreign languages may be at either the 101- or the 103 level. Students will not be placed at the 102-level. If a student's high school record shows credit for two or more years of a single language, the student must take a placement test in that language prior to continuing that language; a student may alternatively select a language not previously studied and enroll at the 101-level. That is, if a student wants to continue his/her high school language, then proper placement is necessary; a student may change lan- guages and enter the 101-level of another language without assessment. Stu- dents for whom English is not the native language may consult with the chairman of modern foreign languages and the chairman of the division of humanities and fine arts. By individual determination, that student may have the language requirement waived. The waiving of the language requirement does not diminish the need to complete a total of 95 quarter hours in general education. Mathematics placement is based on skills assessment. Some students who are not predicted to be successful in any one of these general education math- ematics courses (110, 111 or 122) are requried to enroll in Mathematics 100. This is a pre-general education mathematics course and credit in this course does not count toward the fulfillment of the 95 quarter hours of general education. 62 / Academic Programs and Degree Requirements English placement is based on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) data, where available. The Test of Standard Written English (TSWE) is a sub-test of the SAT. For students who do not have recent SAT scores, the TSWE is given early in the orientation period. Students who score 37 or below are required to enroll in English 100, a pre-general education course in grammar and composition. Students who score 38, 39 or 40 on the TSWE may elect to enroll in the English 100 course. Like Mathematics 100, English 100 does not count toward the fulfillment of any of the 95 hours in general education. General Education, Time Restrictions There is no time limit on the credit or validity of general education course- work. It should be noted, however, that students who have not been enrolled at LaG range College for four years, or who transferred from LaG range Col- lege and subsequently return, enter the college under the Bulletin in force at the time of re-entry. 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 place- ment test of the College Educational Examination Board administered by Educational Testing Service. Credit by examination (AP or CLEP) may reduce the 95 hour general education component by the credit hours earned by this process. If no credit is earned, but exemption is granted, then 95 quarter hours of general education are to be completed. Freshman Seminar, College 101, "Gateway to Success" (two hours credit) This is an academic course in which experienced LaGrange faculty mem- bers and students selected for their academic achievement, their demonstra- tion of leadership and their admirable personal standards guide new students toward success. The faculty members and the very important peers (VIP's) meet their small group of newcomers during the early stages of orientation and begin the process of familiarization with the campus, with academic procedures and processes, and with each other. The formation of the infor- mal support group, the beginning of the systematic process of selecting pos- sible careers and academic majors, the reinforcement of writing as effective communication and academic advising are a part of Col 101. The curriculum of this course may vary from time to time and may be thematic. The goals of the course are not variable and are to help the student feel as comfortable as possible in this new environment, to help him or her to be as successful as possible during this first year and to help lay the foundation for a success- ful four-year college experience. Academic Programs and Degree Requirements 1 63 Assessment of General Education When a student has 140 hours credit, (s)he should take American College Testing Program's College Outcome Measures Program (COMP). This inven- tory will be used to determine the extent to which students have achieved the objectives of the general education curriculum. Meaningful participation in this testing program and measurable gains are a requirement for gradua- tion with a baccalaureate degree. General Education for the Nontraditional Student Students who enter college for the first time and (1) who are over the age of twenty-five, (2) who are employed full-time or at least three-fourths time, or (3) who live off campus (any two of the three) may have experiences and needs differing from traditional students. The 40 quarter-hour common core remains the same for these students with the exception that College 101 "Gate- way to Success" will have an additional focus: students, within limits, may develop a proposal for the fulfillment of the remaining 55 quarter hours. Nor- mally, this proposal will be prepared from the list of courses specified below. This contract is reviewed by the college curriculum committee and may be changed, with curriculum committee approval, only one time. Students may appeal the action of the curriculum committee to the Academic Advisory Council. The contractual 55 quarter hour elective structure is given.

The courses in the major may be found in the Department of Courses sec- tion of the Bulletin. Minors Academic minors may be earned in most departments. A minor must include at least 30 hours, 15 of which must be in 300-level courses. Specific courses are not designated, but they must be approved by the chairman in the minor department. Special Institutes/Continuing Education LaGrange College coordinates and initiates special institutes and continu- ing 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.). 66/ Academic Regulations and Procedures Orientation and Counseling All new students are introduced to LaGrange College through an orienta- tion program which takes place at the beginning of each quarter. The orien- tation 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 (Col 101) deals with the elements of learning and deci- sion making not covered in the traditional curricular structure that are essential to the student's educational process. These include selecting courses, study skills, making long-term educational plans, placing course work in a broader context of student development, dealing with personal difficulties, and adjust- ing 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 bearing on their academic career. Registration 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 regis- tration procedures for all quarters are under the direction of the Dean of the College. Students have not completed registration until they have cleared the Registrar, Dean of Student Development and the Business Office. Stu- dents enrolled for twelve or more hours must obtain a campus post office box. Communications to the student will be through campus mail. Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser, who assists the student in planning an academic program. However, the ultimate responsibility for meet- ing 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 major may be formally declared anytime after the student has earned 22 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 Academic Regulations and Procedures 1 67 planning to pursue a program in Teacher Education must take application in writing to the head of the Department of Education at least by the time he declares his major. Student's major program requirements are those described in the college Bulletin at the time of declaration of the major. Withdrawal To withdraw from any course a student must confer with his instructor, his adviser, and the Dean of the College. Failure of a student to withdraw officially through the office of the Dean of the College normally will result in the assignment of a WF. A student who wishes to withdraw from the Col- lege 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 proba- tion is to warn. It is not a penalty. Students on probation will be notified and the regulations governing probation will be called to their attention. Freshmen (fewer than 50 hours) must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 1.65 to avoid being placed on probation. Sopho- mores (50 to 99 hours), a 1.75 GPA; Juniors (100 to 150 hours), a 1.85 GPA; and Seniors (151 or more hours), a 2.00 GPA. In most cases, students have three quarters to remove their probationary status. Failure to do so makes these students subject to suspension. Students are also subject to suspension for failure to earn at least five quar- ter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or for other valid academic rea- sons. In the case of part-time students, the extent of application of these regulations will be at the discretion of the Dean of the College. Normally, all applications of the regulations will be based upon a full academic load. 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 instructor for any absence. An instructor may recommend that the Dean of the College drop from class with a grade of W or WF 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 Advisory Council. A student may not remove an unsatisfactory grade earned at LaGrange College by repeating the course at another institution. 68/ Academic Regulations and Procedures Acceleration Students desiring to accelerate their college program may complete require- ments in less than four academic years. This may be accomplished by attend- ing summer schools and/or taking an academic overload. Permission to take an overload in any quarter is granted only to those students who have earned at least a cumulative 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. 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 place- ment test of the College Educational Examination Board administered by Educational Testing Service. Academic Honors Upon graduation, students who have been in residence at LaGrange Col- lege 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 1985 graduates). International 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. Guide- lines change; students should contact the Dean of the College for interpreta- tion of such changes. The current interpretation is that students with Student Visas must be enrolled for a full academic load (at least 12 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 required for admission, the College requires all students for whom English is a second language to enroll in and satisfactorily complete a two-quarter Academic Regulations and Procedures/69 sequence, Eng010, 011. Further, if it is apparent that a student's English con- tinues to jeopardize a successful academic career, the Dean of the College may require 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. International students must enroll in an English course each quarter they are in school until they satisfactorily complete their English studies. 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 accredited institutions. Fifteen quarter hours of elective credit will be allowed for military service credit, including USAFI correspondence courses and mili- tary service school courses as recommended by the American Council on Education. One activity course in physical education, up to a maximum of four, will be waived for each two months served in the Armed Forces; a corre- sponding reduction will be made in the total number of hours required for the degree. 70/ Academic Regulations and Procedures 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 satis- factory work but for some reason beyond his control has been un- able to complete the work during that quarter. This deferment must be given written approval in advance by the instructor and the Dean of the College. NC 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 "WF," will be at the discretion of the professor. WF withdrawn failing. The grade of WF is included in computing the grade-point average. AW audit withdrawn AU audit complete NR grade not reported by instructor at the time the report issued. A student may register for a course on a non-credit basis, for which he pays full tuition. To have a grade of NC recorded, he must fulfill all course requirements. 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 Col- lege. 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, assigned by an instructor within the last three weeks of the term to students who are doing satisfactory work and who can- not complete the course due to circumstances beyond their control. Should conditions prohibiting completion of a course arise within the first eight weeks, students withdraw. An / is 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 Advisory Council, within the next quarter. Grades are assigned and recorded for each course at the end of each quar- ter. 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. Academic Regulations and Procedures 1 71 Requirements for Bachelor Degrees A Summary LaC range College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of Science degree, and the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. To obtain a second bachelor's degree, at least 60 additional quarter hours must be earned, beyond the first degree, in a minimum of three quarters. Baccalaure- ate degrees require a minimum of 195 quarter hours credit including required coursework in general education and the major. There is often an opportu- nity to select course work electives. The minimum work required for graduation is 195 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 meet all requirements for the degree (general education, major program, all necessary assessments, 195 quarter hours and 2.0 cumulative grade point average) and, make appli- cation 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 16 quarter hours meets the academic load requirement for a full-time student. The maximum full load is 19 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 office of the Dean of the College. Quality points are earned as follows: A, 4; B, 3; C, 2; D, 1; F,0. The quality- point average is computed by multiplying the grade point by the course credit, summing, and then 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 100 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. Transient work for grades of C or better is acceptable. 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 Col- lege up to 15 hours of transient study may be earned at another four- year accredited institution. Transient credit is only for courses in which the grade is C or better. 72/ Academic Regulations and Procedures 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 insitution. 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. 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 Dean of the College. Such extension or correspondence credit may in no case exceed 10 hours (grades of C or better); 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 student's final quarter, in order to be gradu- ated that quarter. A student is classified as a freshman if he has earned fewer than 50 hours of credit. A student is classified as a sophomore if he has earned 50-99 of credit. To be classed as a junior, a student must have earned 100 hours of credit. A student is classified as a senior upon having earned 150 hours of credit. No grade below C in any course above 100-level may be applied toward a major. Requirements for the A.A. Degree As previously described, the College offers programs of study leading to the associate in arts degree. Students pursuing an associate degree must com- plete the general education component required for that degree, the prescribed coursework in the discipline and a minimum of 95 quarter hours. The last 30 quarter hours must be done in residence. A 2.00 grade point aver- age is necessary. Transcripts Students are entitled to transcripts of their record free of charge. No tran- scripts 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; how- ever, at the beginning and end of quarters some delay may be unavoidable. Academic Regulations and Procedures 173 Student Review of Academic Decisions Decisions pertaining to the academic program which are originally ren- dered 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. Student Appeal of Academic Policy Students may petition for exception to published academic policy. The Academic Advisory Council reviews the petition. Graduation Requirement A student who enters LaG range College under a given Bulletin generally will be graduated under the general education, hours requirement and grade point average requirements of that Bulletin. Major requirements are those in force at the time a student formally declares a major. If a student sus- pends his/her study and re-enters more than four years later, he will graduate under the requirements of the Bulletin in effect at the time of his re-entry. 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 quar- ter 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 graduated in June 1990 were the first class to participate in these compre- hensive evaluations. Consult the specific majors for the details. Endowed Lectureship The Waights G. Henry, Jr. Endowed Lectureship was established by a gift from the Neighbors Fund, Inc. in memory of Dr. Henry, President and Chan- cellor of LaGrange College over a period of 42 years.

These programs include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation for the fol- lowing areas. LAW The pre-law advising committee is chaired by Dr. Fred Mills and is com- posed of Dr. Mills, Mrs. Brenda Thomas and Dr. Kevin Reidy. Students con- sidering attending law school should consult with one of these faculty members during their freshman year. 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 general adviser. Students selecting a major other than Biology should consult early and frequently with Dr. Hurd in addition to their primary advisers for their majors.

Within the major, a student may elect to empha- size 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. Method of Accomplishing Objectives The student is presumed to have accomplished the specific collection of objectives 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 major academic advisor; General Science 492, an advanced Chemistry course, Mathematics 314 or 316, Physics 125. The approved program of teacher education in secondary science with emphasis in Biology and the professional education sequence will satisfy the requirements for a major in Biology. Demonstration of Accomplishment of Objectives 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. Career Options 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. Course Descriptions 101. General Biology I.

Introduction The Business Administration and Economics 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 com- petence. The goals are to help students develop (1) increased understanding of the nature and purposes of our business system and of our economic sys- tem, and of the relationship of business to the socioeconomic system in which it operates; (2) increased understanding of and proficiency in the major busi- ness 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 101 Con- temporary Economic Issues. 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 functioning of business, and of our economic system. This is particularly per- tinent 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 pro- grams. Students can pursue the A. A. degree with a major in business; a B.A. with a major in business, and in economics; or the Bachelor of Business Admin- istration degree, with a concentration in either accounting, business eco- nomics, or general business management. The department also offers course work leading to the Master of Business Administration degree. The Economics program is described in the section on Economics. 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. Business Administration 195 The objective of the B.A. degree program is to provide students with a comprehensive 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 compre- hensive understanding of enterprise management, and an opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and proficiency in one or more specific func- tional 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. During their sophomore year students may declare their intentions to pur- sue a major in business administration. Business administration majors should note that the requirements for the major, including required courses, applica- ble to them are those in effect when they declare their major, not those in effect when they first entered the college. A score of 70 points or higher (out of 100 points) in a comprehensive Departmental Assessment Test, administered as part of the Senior Seminar, is required for graduation. This DAT. may be repeated as necessary. 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 program. 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 impor- tant to their personal professional growth and advancement. Ten quarter cr. hrs. is considered a full load. Petitions to take more than 10 hrs. during a given quarter must be approved by the Director of the MBA Program. III.

The student in chemistry will be seeking one of these goals. Many students take one or more courses in chemistry as part of their prepara- tion for a major in a related area or because they understand that their general education is less than complete without an introduction to one of the natural sciences. For these students the courses that are offered take into account this science need. For other students who desire to move beyond this introduc- tion and pursue a major in chemistry, two degree programs are offered. Stu- dents 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 busi- ness or in science-related areas such as secondary education or health-related areas. Students 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 IR and NMR) 10. An overview of one or more of the following areas: analytical chem- istry, inorganic chemistry and/or biochemistry 1 06 1 Chemistry Students earn these competencies by pursuing the following courses required for Bachelor of Arts curriculum in chemistry: Chemistry 101, 102 Chemistry 351, 352, 353, and 361. and twenty additional hours at or above the 300-level The support courses required are Physics 101, 102 or Physics 121, 122, Mathematics 111 and Computer Science 163 Students who earn the B.A. degree will have demonstrated their attain- ment of the specific objectives by appropriate scores on the current American Chemical Society (ACS) Exams for (1) General Chemistry and (2) Organic Chemistry. The passing score will be at or above the 40th percentile of the national norms for these exams or at an appropriate level, as determined by the Chemistry Department, based on the accumulated data of the perfor- mance of LaGrange College students on these exams. The results which are in the best interest of the student will be used. These exams will be given at the end of the appropriate courses) and will be offered to students up to three additional times prior to the time of the students' scheduled gradua- tion. In the event that a student desires to repeat an exam for the second, third or final time, evidence of preparation must be presented. Re-examination cannot be scheduled earlier than two weeks following a previous examination.

As a service to the general student population, courses are offered to acquaint 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 correctly, are well documented, and are readable; 2. be able to determine whether or not they have written a reasonably efficient and well-organized program; 3. know what general types of problems are amenable to computer solu- tion, and the various tools necessary for solving such problems; 4. be able to assess the implications of work performed either as an indi- vidual 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 computer science track of 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. Students in the business track of the B.S. degree program should have the knowledge of the functional areas of business necessary for working in that environment. 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, one of two tracks in a B.S. degree (either the computer science track or the business track), or a minor. For all options mentioned, students must take CSc 161, 199, 299, and one of the following three courses: CSc 280, 285, or 296 (except that the business track of the B.S. degree requires CSc 285). All students at LaGrange College are required to take CSc 163 as a general requirement. 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, and the average in these courses for those pursuing the B.S. degree must be at least 3.0. Additional requirements for the B.A. degree include eight 300-level, or above, computer science courses including CSc 300, 305, and 325; and four mathematics courses including Mth 122, 123, and two of the following: Mth 124, 335, 370, 410, and either 314 or 316. Additional requirements for the computer science track of the B.S. degree are ten 300-level, or above, computer science courses including CSc 300, 305, 325, and 495; five mathematics courses including Mth 122, 123, and three Computer Science I 111 of the following: Mth 124, 335, 370, 410, and either 314 or 316; and five addi- tional hours in computer science. Physics 101/102 or 121/122 must be taken as general requirements. Additional requirements for the business track of the B.S. degree include CSc 286, 300, 495, and three of the following: CSc 315, 325, 405, 415, 425, and 430; BuA 161, 162, 220, 255, 271, 280, and 440; Mth 122; Mth 360 or BuA 372; and Mth 314 or 316 (316 preferred). Eco 101 must be taken as a general requirement. Additional requirements for the minor include four 300-level, or above, com- puter science courses, including CSc 300. The accomplishment of these objectives will be demonstrated by the following. 1 . satisfactory performance on a programming test. This test will be based on the concepts learned in CSc 199 and 299 and should be taken at the end of the quarter in which the student completes CSc 299. The test will be offered once at the end of every quarter in which CSc 299 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 course- work, 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 pro- grams in computer science. 2. satisfactory performance on a comprehensive test administered by the computer science department. This test will cover concepts learned in CSc 161, 163, 199, 280/285/296, 299, 300 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 offered once per quarter; however, a student is allowed to take the test a maxi- mum of four times prior to his or her scheduled graduation. Upon fail- ure 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 LaGrange 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, West Point Pepperell, and others.

Introduction: The Economics and Business Administration faculty members intend to accomplish three primary goals, within the context of a liberal arts educational environment, and with the highest possible level of profes- sional 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 understand- ing 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 popula- tion and department majors. As a contribution to the general require- ments area, the department provides an introduction to economic analysis with Eco 101: Contemporary Economic Issues. The department also provides opportunities for students majoring in other areas to sup- plement their curricula 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 Administration degree, with a concentration in either accounting, busi- ness economics, or general business management. The department also offers course work leading to the Master of Business Administration degree. The Business Administration degrees are described on page 93. 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: 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 professional careers in the private or public sector as well as to prepare them for additional academic endeavors in Economics or Business Administration at the graduate level. 1 20 1 Economics Students completing a major in Economics will have a thorough understanding, 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) Eco 201 Principles of Micro-economics Eco 203 Principles of Macro-economics Eco 301 Intermediate Micro-economics Eco 302 History of Economic Thought Eco 303 Intermediate Macro-economics Eco 325 International Economics Eco 331 Money and Banking Eco 395 Junior Seminar Eco 451 Senior Seminar 15 additional hours in economics Mth 314 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 106.) IV. The accomplishment of these objectives will be assessed after an inten- sive review of the student's progress and accomplishments. The student will demonstrate this competence by a satisfactory score on a compre- hensive examination, which may include both written and oral segments. This comprehensive Departmental Assessment Test will be taken as part of the Senior Seminar. V.

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 liter- ary heritage. In our decade of increased specialization and highly restricted curricula for future lawyers, physicians, engineers, and business executives, it is misleading to assume that the student interested in language and litera- ture has no career options outside the field of education. While many dedi- cated 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 Preprofes- sional Major by Linwood Orange. This pamphlet, published in its fourth edi- tion by the Modern Language Association of America, 1986, is available in the LC Department of English and in the Office of Admissions). The Department of English Language and Literature has established a Writ- ing Center which is located on the third floor of Manget Classroom Building, This center serves the college community by providing advice and critique for student papers. The center is directed by qualified professionals who direct the upperclass students serving as writing peers or writing fellows. The hours of the center are posted. OBJECTIVES All students at LaGrange College must take courses in basic composition and in literature. The primary objectives are for all students to (1) demonstrate proficiency in expository writing with standard English grammar, punctuation, and usage. (2) demonstrate proficiency in critical reading. (3) demonstrate ability to assimilate, organize, and develop ideas logically and intelligently. (4) understand rudiments of research-based writing. (5) become acquainted with the best of Western society's literary heritage. 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 offered 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. English Language and Literature /137 ACCOMPLISHMENT OF OBJECTIVES For the major and non-major, each student will pass 3 courses in Reading and composition, demonstrating competent reading and writing skills (See "Objectives" on previous page). Additionally for the English major, there will be an exit examination to be completed before the student is eligible for graduation. During the junior year each student must take the ETS Major Field Achievement Test in Liter- ature in English. At least one quarter prior to graduation each student is required to take the ACAT for Literature in English. Course Descriptions 010. English for International Students I.

The faculty firmly believe that the liberal arts prepa- ration, which encompasses courses from the discipline of 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 is to provide each student at LaG range Col- lege with knowledge of the historical forces which have shaped civilization as we know it. To achieve the 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 civilization. (B) develop in every student an understanding and appreciation of their civilization which is a part of the world community. The faculty of the department believe that students who select to com- plete a major course of study in history should have the foundation knowl- edge and understanding of the discipline, developed by classroom instruction and individual 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 pre-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 may be found pursuing careers in business, law, education, politics and government, broadcasting, journal- ism, the ministry and other fields of endeavor. In all of these endeavors our graduates have found that their education has provided a foundation for their careers and for their growth in life. The Department of History offers the following major in history: (A) From the general education curriculum: His 101 and 102, World Civilization and His 111 and 112, United States History These are required courses for the major. We strongly encourage the history major to pursue the widest possible liberal arts preparation by the careful selection of courses from the general education structure. 1 50/ History (B) 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 330 History of Rome His 331 Middle Ages His 332 Renaissance and Reformation 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 30 hours (C) An additional twenty hours of 300- and 400-level History courses are required.

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, commu- nicator, and member within the profession of nursing. The graduate is eligible 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 and campus laboratory attendance policies. *3. A student who fails to earn a C or higher more than once in any of the clinical nursing courses is not permitted to continue in the nursing program. 4. A grade of C or higher must be earned in each required biological science course. A student who earns two final course grades of D or F in any required biological science is not permitted to continue in the nursing program. 5. A grade of C or higher must be earned in English 101, 102, and 103 in order to successfully complete 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, Sur- gical, Psychiatric, Pediatric, and Maternity Nursing) will be administered to sophomore students during Spring Quarter. Each student is required to achieve a passing score in each of the five areas. Required passing scores are specified Nursing 1 163 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 second time will not be graduated at that time and must complete additional nursing studies specified by the nursing faculty. After completing the specified nursing studies, the student will be required to retake and pass the exit exams before being allowed to graduate. Curriculum: The seven quarter curriculum consists of 58 hours of nursing, 33 hours of the general education curriculum, and 20 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 complex aspects of nurs- ing.

The faculty believe 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 Political Science is to provide each student of LaG range 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 community. (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 believe that students who elect to com- plete a major course of study in political science should have the knowledge and understanding of the discipline, developed by classroom instruction and individual 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 prepa- ration can be most effectively utilized. Graduates of the Department of Political Science may be found pursuing careers in business, law, education, politics and government, broadcasting, 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 Political Science offers the following major in political science. (A) Demand sequence: Political Science (PSc) 101 United States Government Political Science (PSc) 200 Introduction to Political Science Political Science 1 171 We strongly encourage the major to pursue the widest possible liberal arts preparation by the careful selection of courses from the general education structure.

OBJECTIVES A student who graduates from LaG range College with a major in psychology wil 1. recognize the importance of an EMPIRICAL approach in attempting to understand behavior. 2. be familiar with the concepts, terms, and explanatory principles char- acteristic 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 Diag- nostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-III-R, 1987). 8. be familiar with the different theoretical approaches (including the psy- choanalytic, the humanistic, and social learning-behavioral) in the deception, etiology, and therapy of behavioral disorders listed in DSM-III-R. 9. be able to list and discuss the various objective and projective per- sonality assessment techniques including the Rorschach and Holtzman inkblots, the Thematic Apperception Test, the MMPI, the Q-sort, the 16-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 methodological issues in psychological research. 11. be familiar with the sections of an APA style research report includ- ing the kinds of information typically found in each. Psychology IM7 12. be familiar with the standard procedures for summarizing data, includ- ing the construction of frequency tables, the calculation of measures of central tendency (means, medians, and modes), calculation of meas- ures of dispersion (range, variance, and standard deviation), and corre- lation coefficients. 13. be familiar with the logic of hypothesis testing including the statement of research and statistical hypothesis, the notion of Type I and Type II errors, the power and efficiency of a statistical test, and the major inferential techniques used in psychology (especially t 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 60 quarter hours (12 courses) beyond the introductory course (PSY 149). Forty of these hours come from the cate- gories below. Methods (Both Required) PSY 298, PSY 299 Experimental Content (Select Two) PSY 455, PSY 465, PSY 470 Social/Personality/Developmental Content (Select Three See Note 1 Below) PSY 321, (PSY 302 or PSY 358), PSY 350, PSY 460 Advanced Special Topic (Required See Note 2 Below) PSY 480 Notes: 1. Students may take either PSY 302 or PSY 358 but not both to satisfy this requirement. If a student takes both, one course counts toward the 20 hours of major electives. 2. PSY 480 will be offered once per year and will involve advanced study of a specialized topic. Topics will vary from year to year. Major Electives An additional 20 hours of major courses will be selected by the student. A student may select any 300 or 400 level psychology course beyond those counted in the required areas. Up to three courses selected from SOC 147, SOC 300, SOC 308, & BIO 148 may be applied toward the major with the approval of the advisor. No course with a grade below C may be applied toward a psychology major. It is strongly recommended that a psychology major complete the Biology 101-102 sequence to satisfy the science portion of the general requirements. Note: A maximum of 10 hours of special topics courses may be applied to the Psychology Major. 178 / Psychology The accomplishment of the psychology objectives will be demonstrated by obtaining an acceptable score on a test administered by the department. Normally, this test will be given during the student's final quarter at LaGrange College. 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 prepara- tion 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. Some courses have other prerequisites. Since this department views psychology as a research-based discipline, it is recommended that the student complete Psychology 298, Behavioral Statis- tics, and Psychology 299, 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 majors. 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 prac- tical 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.
