This mission provides a college environment that enables stu- dents to discover and value that which is excellent in life; an environment which produces graduates prepared to accept responsibility in contempo- rary 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 real- ized 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 curricu- lum 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 education, and social work. by fostering out-of-class enrichment (lectures, plays, exhibits, con- certs, interest and honor groups) and extracurricular activities (intramural and intercollegiate athletics, religious organizations and opportunities, ser- vice organizations, social organizations and student publications). by promoting healthy guided opportunities for physical activities. by offering opportunities for inter-cultural experiences in the aca- demic 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 competent 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 8 / About LaGrange College opportunities to area citizens; and by encouraging faculty, staff and student participation in local organizations. by recruiting students who, through scholastic achievement and potential as well as personal motivation, have indicated their desire to undertake the LaGrange College program. by striving to increase its resources at a rate which preserves the financial 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 LaGrange College is closely associated with the history of the City of LaGrange and Troup County. When the vast tract of land lying between the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers was secured by the Indian Springs Treaty of 1825 and was opened for settlement in 1827, one of the five counties formed on the western border of the state was named Troup in honor of Governor George Michael Troup. An act was passed by the Georgia Legislature on December 24, 1827, providing 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 1 847 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 Conference of The United Methodist Church. About LaG range College 1 9 Strong in the liberal arts, LaGrange College has an outstanding reputa- tion in pre-professional programs, including pre-medical and allied fields, pre-law, pre-theology, and engineering. LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with twenty majors, the Bachelor of Business Administration with four concentration areas, and the Bachelor of Science degree in three areas. The Master of Business Administration degree and the Master of Education degree in Early Childhood and Middle Childhood are offered. Associate of Arts degree is offered in four areas. LaGrange College operates on the quarter system. In addition to the day schedule of classes in the fall, winter and spring quarters, there is an evening session. There are also both day and evening sessions in the summer. The college draws more than half of its student body from Georgia. With students from more than one-third of the states and from several foreign countries, 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. LaGrange College originated the plan for students to complete fall quarter before Thanksgiving and have a 40-day holiday break. Georgia's leader in granting academic credit through the College Level examination Program, the college also offers travel seminars, field study programs and internships. The drama department has a resident summer stock theatre company. Students in the college's nursing division receive supervised learning experiences in many area medical facilities. Campus art exhibitions, lectures, concerts, varsity and intramural sports add to the cultural enrichment and recreational opportuni- ties offered by the college. The college is located in the town of LaGrange, Georgia, which has a population of 25,597. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm Springs Foundation and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House. The West Point Dam on the Chattahoochee River provides one of the largest lakes in the region, with waterfronts and marina within the city limits of LaGrange. Accreditation As a coeducational, four-year liberal arts college, LaGrange College is fully accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, approved by the United Methodist University Senate, and has membership in the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the National Association of United Methodist Colleges, the Georgia Association of Colleges, The Council of Advancement and Support of Education, the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges, and the Association of Private Colleges and Universities in Georgia. The Georgia State Board of Education, which con- fers professional certificates upon college graduates meeting requirements 1 / About LaCrange College in early childhood, middle school, or secondary education, has awarded highest approval to LaGrange College's program of teacher education. The National League for Nursing, the official recognized agency for associate degree nursing programs by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation, has awarded (highest) accreditation to LaGrange College's nursing program. The undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs. Sessions of the College The College operates on the quarter system. Each quarter is about ten weeks long. There are four quarters: fall, winter, spring and summer. In the summer quarter, day classes and evening classes meet in a seven-week term. Both day and evening classes are available during each of these four quarters. The day and evening classes are sessions of the same academic program; however, with the exception of a limited number of majors it is necessary to attend day classes at some time in order to complete degree requirements. /11 The LaGrange College Campus William and Evelyn Banks Library Completed in 1963.

This Collection, established in 1987, is supported by funds given by the Jinks family. A service organization, Friends of the LaGrange College Library, sup- ports the library through the awarding of grants to faculty to support the purchase of additional library resources. The group also promotes greater cooperation and communication between the library and the community. The learning process is enhanced at LaGrange College by the Library's special services to students and faculty.

In the selection of students, careful attention is given to the academic ability of each candidate. PROCEDURE FOR APPLYING FOR ADMISSION An application for admission should be submitted when the student decides he or she would like to attend LaGrange College. The application should be completed at least one month prior to the beginning of the quar- ter in which the entrance is desired. Applicants may enroll any quarter. Admission Documents Required Freshmen Transfers 1. Application form 1. Application form 2. Application fee 2. Application fee 3. High school transcript 3. Transcripts of all previous college work (transfers with fewer than 45 quarter hours earned must also submit high school transcripts) Once all required documents have been submitted, a minimum of two- three weeks is required to complete the processing of an application. An applicant will be notified as soon as the Admission Committee has reached a decision. A student's acceptance is tentative, pending satisfactory com- pletion of such work before acceptance is final. Once an offer of admission is extended, the candidate is asked to accept that offer by submitting an admission deposit. The amount of this deposit is $150 for students who will live on campus, or $50 for students who will live at home. The $50 deposit will remain on the student's account as a credit toward the first quarter's tuition. For resident students, the additional $100 will serve as a room reservation deposit and will reserve the-student's room while the student is not occupying college housing. The admission deposit is fully refundable, provided the student submits a written request to the Office of Admission by the following dates: July 1 5 for Fall Quarter, December 1 5 for Winter Quarter, March 1 5 for Spring Quarter. Room reservation deposit is refundable if the student withdraws or when the student graduates, provided there are not charges against the student at that time.

The telephone number is 706/81 2-7260. 1 8 / Admission ACADEMIC ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Admission to the Freshman Class. Prior to enrolling, an applicant is expected to complete requirements for graduation from an approved high school. A total of 1 5 units is required with a minimum of 1 1 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 typical matriculant will have completed: English 4 Social Studies 3 College Preparatory Mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, etc.) 3 Science 3 Foreign Language 2 Desirable electives include additional units of Language, Mathematics, or Science. A basic understanding of Computer Science is also encouraged. Scores from either the SAT (administered by the College Entrance Examination Board) or ACT (administered by the American College Testing Program) are required of all freshman applicants. Test results should nor- mally be sent to LaGrange College in November, December, or January of the last year in high school. Mature students with an irregular educational background may qualify for admission by achieving satisfactory scores on the tests of General Educational Development, High School Level. LaGrange College predicts a student's grade point average using a for- mula which takes into account verbal and math scores on the SAT and the student's high school grade point average. Students are admitted as "clear accept" if they are predicted to be successful in the academic programs of LaGrange 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 Admission 1 1 9 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 admission students. Joint Enrollment: Recognizing that there is an increasing number of high school students beginning their twelfth grade who need only one or two academic units to graduate and who very often lack sufficient challenge, LaGrange College has adopted a policy for joint Enrollment at both the College and the student's high school. To be eligible, a student must meet the dear-accept standard of the Admission policy and be recommended in writing by the proper authority at the student's high school. On-Trial Program: This program is for applicants who are unable to qualify for dear-accept admission to LaGrange College, but who appear to have the potential to succeed. All courses taken are for full credit. Students in this program must earn a grade point average of 1 .6 during the first quar- ter of college work. Further information is available from the Director of Admission. Transfer Students: A student who has been in attendance at another institution may apply for transfer to LaGrange College if he or she is eligi- ble to return to that institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. A student may be accepted on probation under the standard probation regu- lations. All records including transcripts of all college work attempted, must be complete before the student is admitted to LaGrange College. Applicants may enroll at the beginning of any quarter. LaGrange College does not accept D grades. Acceptable credit from a junior college is lim- ited to 100 quarter hours. Credits from senior colleges beyond 145 quarter hours may be accepted, but the LaGrange College residency requirements, the general education curriculum, and appropriate major coursework must be satisfied. LaGrange College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and, accordingly, accepts coursework from similarly 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 Application 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 prerequisites. An application for non-degree undergraduate student status may be obtained through the Admission Office. Students classed as non-degree undergraduate students may become regular students by meeting requirements for regular admission. No more than ten credit hours may be earned under this classification. 20 / Admission Readmission Students: Following an absence from LaGrange College of four or more quarters during the academic year, any student who decides to return must submit an Application for Readmission. This form is avail- able from the Admission Office. Students who have been absent from LaGrange College for three quarters or less may re-activate their file in the Registrar's Office. These students do not need to apply for readmission. In the event that a student seeking readmission has attended another institution 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 LaGrange. 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: Admission as an international student requires a TOEFL examination with a minimum score of 500 for students for whom English is not their first language. Documentation of completion of the 109 level from one of the ELS Language Centers may be substituted for the TOEFL requirement. Also required are translated and certified documents attesting to academic performances in secondary school and university, if applicable. The Director of Admission should be contacted for the current interpretation of the regulations 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. International students must also submit official documents certifying their ability to pay for the cost of one full year of study at LaGrange College. These documents include (1) A bank letter, signed by a bank offi- cial, certifying that the student's family has sufficient funding on deposit to cover all costs relating to one year of study at LaGrange College; and (2) a financial support letter indicating the parents' ability and willingness to cover all costs relating to one year of study at LaGrange College. The above information must be submitted before an application will be evaluated by the Admission Committee. ADMISSION TO NURSING PROGRAM The nursing program functions within the general admission policy of the College and has several additional requirements: 1 . SAT scores (minimum Verbal 400 and Mathematics 350). 2. Two letters of reference, one from an educator or employer, and one from a personal acquaintance. 3. Satisfactory completion of any remedial courses required by the College prior to beginning the first nursing course. 4. A minimum GPA of 2.0 for any previously completed college studies. Admission / 2 1 An interview with a member of the nursing faculty may also be required. Information regarding these requirements will be mailed to the student following acceptance by the College. A nursing course completed in another nursing program, with a grade of 75% or higher, may qualify for transfer credit depending upon course con- tent. An audit of specified courses may be required for transfer students. Contact the Nursing office for complete information. Advanced placement by testing or through a transition course is avail- able for licensed practical nurses. Further information regarding advanced placement may be obtained from the Nursing Office. 22/ /23 Financial Information Payment of Charges All charges for the quarter are due and payable at registration, and each student is expected to pay at that time. Students who pre-register and pay in advance of the deadline each quarter are not required to attend final registration. LaGrange College has no plan for making monthly or deferred pay- ments. Realizing that some families prefer to pay charges on a monthly basis, the College has made arrangements with Academic Management Services to offer interested parents this type service. The plan is an agree- ment between the parent and the company; there is no involvement by LaGrange College in the agreement. For additional information, contact the Director of Financial Aid.

The amount of this grant for 1994-95 is expected to be $2000.00. Of this $1000.00 comes from the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant program and $1000.00 from Georgia's HOPE Grant program. 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 person- ally have to pay the amount of the grant. Depending on individual requirements, a student may expect to spend $750.00 to $1000.00 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 regis- tration. If the student has no insurance, the college will make a charge for limited coverage group sickness and accident insurance. Transcripts of grades are withheld for any student who has a financial obligation to LaGrange College. 26 / Financial Information Refund Policy No refund of charges of any nature will be made to any student who is suspended or dismissed for disciplinary reasons. No refunds will be made for courses dropped after dates established by the school calendar. In the event of complete withdrawal from college after registration, refund of tuition will be made from date of registration to date of official withdrawal on the following basis: Regular School Year % Refund 100 80 60 40 No refund Withdrawal During Drop/Add Within 14 days Within 21 days Within 28 days After 28 days Graduate 7-Week Summer Summer % Refund % Refund 100 100 40 60 No refund 40 No refund Refunds are processed after the refund period has ended each quarter. No refund for room or board will be made to any student who with- draws from the dormitory after registration. For a student withdrawing from college, a charge of $1 5.00 per day from date of registration to date of offi- cial withdrawal will be made in board. There is no refund of room deposit if student does not enroll. A separate refund policy exists for new first quarter students (freshman and transfers) who receive Title IV (federal) financial assistance as required by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992. Information is available in the Financial Planning Office. Students eligible for the State of Georgia Tuition Equalization 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' personal property. Ill 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 abil- ity 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 prepared to assume a measure of responsibility through limited work or through borrowing a reasonable portion of any financial need. Foreign stu- dents are not eligible for scholarships or financial aid unless they hold per- manent residency status. All aid is awarded without regard to race, sex, sexual preference, creed, color or national origin. General Information Financial need is the difference between the total educational costs and the amount the family can contribute. The family contribution is deter- mined by using a standard need analysis system. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal Application are the preferred need analysis documents. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid or Renewal Application must be completed by all students and allows the applicant to apply for federal, institutional, and state programs. Applicants for financial assistance need not be accepted for admission to apply. However, the student must be accepted for enrollment before an offi- cial 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 FAFSA or Renewal Application to the processor for process- ing as soon as possible after January 1 . The FAFSA may be obtained from high school counselors or the Office of Student Financial Planning at the College. Students who applied for financial assistance in the previous award year will receive a Renewal Application directly from the Central Processor. Students whose financial aid file is com- pleted by June 1st get preference for aid. Students completing files after that deadline will receive grant assistance if funds are available. 3. Submit the LaGrange College Financial Aid Application to the Office of Student Financial Planning. This form is available upon request. 28 / Financial Planning 4. All Georgia residents should complete and submit the Georgia Student Grant Application for the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant and HOPE Grant programs to the office of Student Financial Planning. This form is available only from private colleges in Georgia. It may be com- pleted in advance of registration or at registration but no later than the last day of late registration. 5. Transfer students requesting assistance must submit a Financial Aid Transcript (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 composed of tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, trans- portation and miscellaneous expenses. The expected family contribution (EFC) as determined by the processed Need Analysis document is sub- tracted 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 94-95: Dependent Undergraduates residing in the dormitories/off-campus 13,565 Dependent Undergraduates residing with parents 1 1 ,605 Independent Undergraduates residing off-campus 18,695 Dependent Nursing students residing in the dormitories/off-campus 15,225 Dependent Nursing student residing with parents 1 3,265 Independent Nursing students residing off-campus 20,355 Graduate students residing in the dormitories/off campus 1 0,965 Graduate students residing with parents 9,305 Graduate students residing off-campus 1 6,095 Student Eligibility In general, to be eligible for student financial assistance you must: 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 Financial Planning/ 29 Regulations" and "Satisfactory Academic Progress" policies pub- lished in the LaGrange College Bulletin. D. Not be in default on a Federal Perkins Loan/National Direct Student Loan or any of the Federal Family Education Loan Programs, i.e., Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan (Guaranteed Student Loan), Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Supplemental Loans for Students, or a Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students. E. Not owe a refund on Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant or Federal Pell Grant received at any institution. F. Not have borrowed in excess of the loan limits under the Title IV programs at any institution. G. Be registered with Selective Service, if required. Student Financial Aid Policy Each year the Office of Student Financial Planning receives more requests for financial assistance than funds are available. First priority for assistance goes to eligible students who are in pursuit of the first baccalaureate degree. Students who are enrolled less than 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 receive aid awarded by the College during the academic year will be given preference for summer awards contingent upon avail- ability of funds. Students who receive academic scholarships are not required to com- plete a "need analysis" document although all students are encouraged to do so. All undergraduate Georgia residents enrolled full-time must apply for the State Student Incentive Grant, the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant, and HOPE 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 Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant, HOPE Academic Scholarships, State Incentive Grant and Institutional Grants are automati- cally credited against the student's charges and are reflected on the charge sheet at registration. Perkins Loan recipients must sign a promissory note at or prior to registration and complete an initial interview questionnaire. Funds from the Federal Family Education Loan programs come to the College in the form of a check payable to the student and/or the College. 30 / Financial Planning Loan checks are disbursed by the Business Office. Borrowers have a maxi- mum of 45 days to retrieve their loan checks. Loan checks not retrieved within this time frame will be returned to the lender. Students will be noti- fied, in writing that their loan proceeds are available for pick up. Prior to disbursement of loan proceeds, the borrower is required to present a pic- ture ID and sign a check release form certifying eligibility for the disburse- ment. First time borrowers must complete loan counseling prior to disbursement. Loan proceeds for first time, first year borrowers are subject to a 30 day delayed disbursement requirement. Deferred Payment for the amount of the loan disbursement is available for students who are subject to delayed disbursement. PLUS loan checks are made co-payable and mailed directly to the school for disbursement. LaGrange College does not provide initial endorsement of these loan proceeds. The check is mailed to the parent borrower for endorsement in addition to an options form for disposition of residual funds not attributable to the current school term. 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 subsequent month. Exception: a student who owes a balance at 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 positions until such time as all those positions are filled; placements are then assigned according to the need of other dependents and areas on campus and community service agencies requesting student assistance. Off Campus Employment Local businesses employ students in part-time positions. Such employ- ment is usually arranged by the student and not the College. The Office of Career Planning and Placement maintains current job opportunity informa- tion 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) and check it often. 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 desig- nated on the Need Analysis document you originally filed (if you move home, move on campus, or if you move elsewhere). Financial Planning/ 31 4. You must notify the Office of Student Financial Planning of changes in your household size and number in post-secondary institutions at any time during the award year when said changes occur. 5.

You must provide in a timely manner any additional information requested by the Office of Student Financial Planning. 8. You must make Satisfactory Academic Progress to maintain eligibility for financial assistance. Work Aid and Federal 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 perform satisfactory work as determined by your supervisor. An annual evaluation is filed with the Office of Student Financial Planning. - 4. Scheduling of hours will be mutually agreed upon by both the stu- dent and the supervisor as determined by the quarterly class sched- ule and work load of the office. 5. Transfers from one position to another will be done at the supervi- sor'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 unex- cused absences can result in termination of eligibility. You should always notify your supervisor when an absence is necessary, in advance, if possible, so your position can be covered. 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 federal and state withholding forms and an 1-9 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 32 / Financial Planning aid. Satisfactory 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 requirement for all students, whether or not they are receiving Title IV aid or state aid, are those academic requirements imposed by LaGrange College as stated in the LaGrange College Bulletin section titled "Academic Probation Regulations." Academic probation 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 sus- pended from enrollment their future eligibility for financial aid is termi- nated). The Dean of the College is charged with the responsibility of monitoring this part of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. Once the determination of enrollment eligibility is assessed, the Vice President and Dean of the College 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 govern- ing academic progress. LaGrange's policy requires a 1 .65 at the end of the 1 st 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's grant programs. Title IV aid programs are Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal College Work Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Loans, Federal PLUS/SLS. Georgia's grant programs are the State Student Incentive Grant, State Tuition Equalization Grant, and HOPE 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: 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 aca- Financial Planning/ 33 demic 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 1 5 QUARTER TIME FRAME. Students who do not meet the Academic Probation Regulations of the institution, i.e. are suspended, do not earn the number of hours required or who exceed the time frame will have all sources of federal, state, and insti- tutional assistance terminated at the time that such determination has been made. Students who have their financial aid terminated may have their aid reinstated pending approval by the Student Financial Planning Appeals Committee and the availability of funds at that time. Students who are part-time have a maximum of a 15 quarters equivalent of full time enrollment (part-time quarters are added to make full-time quarters). Because of aggregate (lifetime) loan limits a student needs to be aware that they may exhaust lifetime Federal Stafford loan limits prior to receiving a degree. Additional 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 Vice President and Dean of the College. 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 student has earned the required number of hours per the specified time increment (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 spe- cial terms for readmission to the College will also play a part in re-estab- lishing eligibility. It will be the responsibility of the student to notify the Financial Aid Office once any special requirements have been met. 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 34 / Financial Planning Financial Planning who will submit the appeal before a Financial Aid Appeals Committee. (This letter of appeal should include (a) reason for fail- ure 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 convene 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 student 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 scholarships or grants from LaGrange College or any other source, that stu- dent 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 possi- bly subject to taxation, are scholarships and grants awarded on the basis of academic 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 financial 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 establish 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. 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. Financial Planning/ 35 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 payment will be $550 or more for the tax year. If you do not pay enough estimated tax you may have to pay a penalty. This information is not intended as tax advice and the student is encour- aged 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 Planning reviews reported application data against appropriate documents utilized to complete the Need Analysis form to determine the accuracy of the application. Federal regulations require verification of at least 30% of the applica- tions received. A federal edit system determines these applications which should be verified. The Office of Student Financial Planning reserves 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 1 . Federal tax returns for both the student and the parent for the previ- ous 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. Divorce decrees or proof of legal separation for married students. 4. Documents showing the amount of child support received in the household of a divorced or separated student or parent. 5. Documents showing the amount of child support paid out for other households in cases of divorce or separation. 6. A list of family members including age and post-secondary institu- tion of each family member of the applicant. 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 of dependent children. 9. A notarized statement that no tax return was filed and that no income from work was earned. 36 / Financial Planning 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 spe- cific 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, the applicant will be notified of the errors and the procedure for reprocessing the Student Aid Report (SAR). For applicants who are not eligible for Pell Grant and the errors are within acceptable tolerances, these corrections will be made in-house. 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 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. Refund and Repayment Policies Refund Policy The refund policy for students withdrawing is outlined in the catalog under "Refund of Fees" and ranges from 100% the first 7 days of classes to Financial Planning/ 37 40% through the 28th day of class. A separate refund policy exists for first quarter students (new freshmen or transfers) who receive Federal Title IV assistance as required by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992. Information is available in the Office of Student Financial Planning. Georgia residents receiving credit for Tuition Equalization Grant and HOPE must be continuously 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 represent- ing financial aid awards have been applied back to the respective accounts. Refunds will be returned to the programs in the order indicated in the "Allocation Policy" below. 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 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 stu- dent 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 appropri- ate percentage of the refund due the Title IV programs upon withdrawal, expulsion, 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 dis- bursement for future enrollment periods unless repayment arrangements have been made with the Office of Student Financial Planning.

A senior is defined as a student who has successfully completed at least 135 quarter hours of academic work and who has completed the general requirements. The Student Development Office will have the final decision on all requests for exemption. Students are assigned rooms of their choice in so far as facilities permit. (Roommates are assigned by mutual preference whenever possible.) The college reserves the right of final approval of all room and residence hall assignments. Also, the college reserves the right to move a student from one room or residence hall to another room or residence hall during the year. ROOM DEPOSIT A room and tuition deposit of $150 is required of all resident students. The room deposit ($100) is not a prepayment to be applied to residence hall charges but will remain on deposit with the college to be refunded, provided the student's account with the college is cleared, upon one of the following: (1) change of status from resident student to commuter student, (2) formal withdrawal, or (3) graduation. The room reservation/damage deposit serves as a room reservation while the student is not occupying college housing and is refundable if a student cancels his/her reservation by the following dates: July 15 for fall quarter, December 15 for winter quarter, March 15 for spring quarter. It serves as a damage deposit while the student is occupying college housing and is refundable when the stu- dent leaves college housing minus any unpaid assessments and/or any debt owed to the College. Complete residence information and regulations can be found in "Housing on the Hill" the residence hall guidebook available from the Student Development Office. Student Development I 57 RESIDENCE GOVERNMENT/ACTIVITIES Each housing unit has a hall council which functions as a governing body and also as a coordinating committee to plan activities within the res- idence halls such as open houses, movie nights, decorating contests and other special events. Student Government Activities The Student Government Association exists to serve as a medium for student expressions, to coordinate campus activities, to promote good citi- zenship and to govern within the parameters granted by the President of the College. The SGA is an important part of student life. Upon acceptance into the college, a student automatically becomes a member of the associa- tion. All students are encouraged to become active members, so that the association is a truly representative body of student thought and opinion, voicing the needs and concerns of the student body. The SGA is charged with responsibility of planning and presenting stu- dent programs. They sponsor concerts, dances, movies, ski trips and many other special events. Student publications are supported by the SGA; these include the newspaper, yearbook and magazine. All clubs and organizations are sanctioned by the SGA. These include: Social Sororities Social Fraternities Service Clubs Religious Organizations Honorary Organizations Alpha Omicron Pi Kappa Delta Phi Mu Delta Tau Delta Kappa Sigma Pi Kappa Phi Habitat for Humanity Hilltoppers VIP Baptist Student Union InterFaith Council Wesley Fellowship Alpha Mu Gamma (language) Alpha Psi Omega (drama) Delta Mu Delta (business administration) Pi Gamma Mu (social science) Sigma (science-math) Phi Alpha theta (history) Omicron Delta Kappa (leadership) Omicron Delta Epsilon (economics) Phi Tau Chi (religion) 58 / Student Development Psychology Honor Society Sigma Tau Delta (English) Departmental/Special CRIS Campus Recreation and Interest Groups Intramural Sports Student Nurses Association International Students Club LaGrange Singers LaGrange College Wind Ensemble Art Student League Business & Economics Society Student Education Association ABC Association of Black Collegians Association of Computer Machinery German Club Deutschen Klub Student Publications The Quadrangle (yearbook) The Hilltop Newspaper (paper) The Scroll (magazine) Hilltopics, the student handbook, is published by the SGA and contains guidelines and regulations for successful campus life. Athletic Program LaGrange College athletic teams are known as The Panthers. College colors are red and black. Competitive teams are fielded against teams from other similar size institutions in women's soccer, volleyball, Softball and tennis and men's baseball, basketball, soccer and tennis. It is the philoso- phy of LaGrange College that the team participants are attending college primarily for a quality education, and no athletic scholarships are offered. The student athlete receives praise and recognition from peers, faculty, and administration. The coaching staff is an assemblage of highly qualified teachers who stress the educational process of the College. LaGrange College is committed to a full program of non-scholarship ath- letics that encourages the student-athlete to reap the benefits of education- ally sound activity that not only encourages but actively promotes a strong academic regime. Students are given the opportunity to participate fully in their given sport and to interface with other teams locally, statewide, and regionally. Not only are their physical skills enhanced but their human rela- tions skills are broadened and focused by competitive challenges of the body and mind. The athletic program is affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and is assigned to District 25. This affilia- tion permits LaGrange College and its student athletes to receive recogni- tion for their participation in state, regional and national sporting events. Student Development/ 59 Campus Recreation and Intramural Sports (CRIS) The Campus Recreation and Intramural Sports program provides oppor- tunities for wholesome recreation and competition among members of the campus community. Teams representing campus organizations and inde- pendents compete in organized tournaments and events throughout the year. Competitive events include flag football, volleyball, basketball (Regulation, 3 on 3, H*0*R*S*E), domino's dash, softball, badminton, ten- nis, water volleyball, inner tube water polo, inner tube basketball and pickle ball. Winners of the campus tournaments in some of these events are eligible to represent LaGrange College in state or regional tournaments. Special awards are presented to the men's and women's groups with the highest participation rates and best record for the entire year. In addition, male and female "Athletes of the Year" are selected. Many opportunities are available for recreational use of the facilities in the LaGrange College Aquatics Complex. The following are available: enjoying recreational swimming and lap swimming all year round in the indoor pool; using the aquarius water work-out stations or taking a water aerobics or aqua exercise class (non-credit); perfecting diving technique on the 1 -meter and 3-meter diving boards; or simply relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere of the outdoor leisure pool. The facilities and equipment of the Physical Education Department also are available for student recreational use when these are not scheduled for instructional, athletic, or intramural sports use. The use of outdoor equip- ment (canoes, sailboats, backpacks, tents, stoves, lanterns) requires the payment of a small deposit which is refunded upon the safe return of the equipment. The weight room, gymnasium, and pools are available for stu- dent/faculty/staff use during posted hours. A valid LaGrange College ID is necessary for admittance to all facilities. Religious Life Program College is a time of exciting intellectual and social growth. Students wrestle with new ideas, discover new interests, and explore ever broaden- ing horizons. College can also be a time for real spiritual growth. Set in the transition between youth and adulthood, college offers students a chance to examine their faith, to assess what is important to them and to forge a system of values that will sustain them through their adult years. Growing out of its history of service and its affiliation with the United Methodist Church, LaGrange is committed to creating an environment that encourages spiritual growth and development. As a result, the College offers a number of opportunities for students and faculty to celebrate life and explore God's intention for human living. Included in these opportuni- ties are occasions for worship, fellowship, and service. Chapel services are scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday at 12:00 noon, and there are spe- 60 / Student Development cial worship services throughout the year. The College employs a full-time chaplain who is available for counseling and is interested in promoting ser- vice and fellowship among the constituents of the campus community. Programs, Exhibitions and Forum Lectures A balanced and comprehensive program of lectures, music perform- ances, dramatic presentations, workshops and other activities contribute to student enrichment. Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. until 12:20 p.m. are reserved for programs, exhibitions and forum lectures. Traditional Activities Fall Festival Honors day May Day Dorm Daze Greek Week Black History Week Quadrangle Dance Community '94 International Week Fall weekend featuring concert, parade and culminating with crowning of Queen Spring Fling packed with activities, step-sing and concert Quarterly events planned exclu- sively for residence students Week of activities centering around campus Greek life Week of activities focusing on Black Heritage Winter Formal scheduled around Valentine's Day Special event that commemorates the College as a caring/sharing community Week set aside to recognize cultural diversity of the campus community Student Conduct LaGrange College, as a church-related college, is committed to an hon- orable and seemly standard of conduct. As an educational institution the college is concerned not only with the formal in-class education of its stu- dents, but also with their welfare and their growth into mature men and women who conduct themselves responsibly as citizens. Regulations of the college are formulated to meet changing student needs within the framework of college policy. These regulations become effective when the student enrolls. Some regulations may not be agreeable to every- one because they have been formulated to meet the needs of the entire Student Development / 61 group. This however, does not lessen the individual's obligation to uphold them. Regulations do not have as their primary purpose the punishment of the individual. The regulations are formulated to insure the right of all com- munity 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 detri- mental to himself or his fellow students. Furthermore, students are subject to federal, state and local laws as well as college rules and regulations. A student is not entitled to greater immunities before the law than those enjoyed by other citizens generally. Students are subject to such discipli- nary action as the administration of the college may consider appropriate, including possible suspension and expulsion for breach of federal, state or local laws, or college regulations. This principle extends to conduct off- campus which is likely to have adverse effect on the college or on the edu- cational process or which stamps the offender as an unfit associate for the other students. A complete description of student conduct policies, rules and regulations can be found in Hilltopics, the student handbook. Student Health Services Under the Student Health Program students are provided care by a reg- istered nurse in the student day clinic. The clinic is open 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 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 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 stu- dent. Private nurses and personal physicians must be paid by the student. All students must have proof of medical insurance. For those not having coverage through individual or group plans, LaGrange College makes available accident and sickness coverage through a private carrier at rea- sonable 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. A broad range of career exploration is available to the individual student at no cost. The Center also keeps up-to-date information regarding certifica- tion 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 skills. 62 / Student Development A primary focus of the Career Center is to enhance placement potential by addressing the many-faceted complex realities of searching for a job. Therefore, beginning in the freshman year, every student will be involved in understanding the necessity and importance of early preparation for securing their first position. 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 themselves so they are better able to make informed personal, academic and vocational choices. In addition to individual counseling, group pro- grams are available on topics such as Study Skills, Test Anxiety Reduction, Career Planning, Time Management, etc. Small group counseling is avail- able in areas of personal concern such as dealing with interpersonal com- munication, conflict resolution, parental divorce, eating disorders, assertiveness training, etc. The staff also administers personal inventories such as the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory and the Strong-Campbell Inventory. The Counseling Center holds leadership training sessions which include topics dealing with leadership styles, communication, group dynamics, goal setting and issue exploration. The College wiil assign freshmen to a faculty adviser who will assist with the design of a program of study as well as any other problems which may 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 Aptitude Test (SAT), the ACT (American College Testing) and the College Level Examination Program, as part of the College's Advanced Placement Program. The Office of Student Developments also administers the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the National Teacher Exam (NTE/PRAXIS). 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 published policies may result in vehicles being towed. Student Development 1 63 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 member first rendering a decision. If this does not resolve the issue, a deci- sion rendered by a college staff member may be appealed by a student as follows: I. Student Life: (a) A disciplinary decision rendered by a duly constituted student judicial board may be appealed to the Dean of Student Develop- ment. Disciplinary decisions rendered originally by the Dean of Student Development may be appealed in writing to the Vice President and 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 Student Affairs Committee of the faculty for it 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 the Financial Planning Section. III. Academic Matters. See the Academic Regulations and Procedures Section. 64/ /65 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 foremost 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 learning 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 curriculum that serves as foundation and complement to the major. All baccalaureate majors share the same general education curricu- lum. 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 com- ponents include skills such as strategies for college success, writing, com- putation, speaking, problem-solving, computer utilization, and analytical thinking. Additionally, there are knowledge components including history, social studies, science, literature, religious heritage, modern foreign lan- guages, 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 communi- cate, to solve problems, and to analyze and clarify their own value system. THE MAJORS A major is defined as a primary program of study in which the student completes a designated number and sequence of courses within a specific discipline, department or subject area. A major may or may not offer con- centrations for focused coursework within the major. A student may choose to pursue one of three baccalaureate degrees: the bachelor of arts, the bachelor of science, or the bachelor of business 66 / Academic Programs and Degree Requirements administration. Most students pursue one of these baccalaureate degrees. In addition to the baccalaureate degree programs, students may earn an associate of arts or a masters degree, a post-baccalaureate degree. 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 a 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 (English, Chemistry, Biology, History, Mathematics) English History Mathematics Music Political Science Psychology Religion Social Work Social Work/Criminal Justice Theater Arts Bachelor of Science Chemistry Computer Science Mathematics Bachelor of Science in Nursing Nursing (Matriculation in Fall 1995) Academic Programs and Degree Requirements/ 67 Bachelor of Business Administration Business Administration with a concentration in one of the following areas: Accounting Business Economics General Business Management International Business In addition to these four-year baccalaureate degrees, LaGrange College offers the Master of Education Degree, the Master of Business Administration Degree, and the Associate of Arts Degree. The degrees and the concentration within the degree are given: Master of Education (See Graduate Bulletin) Early Childhood Education Middle Childhood Education Master of Business Administration (See Graduate Bulletin) General Business with emphasis on the management function Associate of Arts Business Administration Criminal Justice Liberal Studies Nursing All majors offered are described in detail in the Departments 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 declaration of the major. The declaration of major is initiated in the registrar's office. At the discretion of the department chair, 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 student's initial matriculation. Students who have been out of school longer than two years must again declare their majors. 68 / Academic Programs and Degree Requirements 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 laboratories. 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 indepen- dent study normally will not be more than 10 quarter hours. Written permis- sion to enroll in such a course must be obtained from the instructor, the head of the department concerned, and the Vice President and Dean of the College. 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 departments. This program carries the course number 499, with five quar- ter hours credit in each participating department, with the designation "Honors Course." Applications must be submitted in writing to the Vice President and Dean of the College. Assessment in the Major The faculty members who are responsible for instruction in the major programs have identified specific objectives for a major in that discipline. There is an assessment, devised by the faculty in the discipline, that deter- mines the extent to which the objectives have been met by the student. That assessment is a requirement for students who graduated in June 1990, or who will graduate thereafter. The assessment styles are varied. Students should carefully explore with their adviser in their intended major the nature of the assessment. A satisfactory assessment in the major is a requirement of 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 depart- ment chairman work together in planning a program. The ultimate respon- Academic Programs and Degree Requirements I 69 sibility for selecting the proper courses in order to complete the desired degree is the responsibility of the student. 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: Course Freshman Seminar (COL 101) English, Grammar and Composition 1 ENG 101, 102, 103 History (select one sequence) World Civilization (HIS 1 01 , 1 02) or 40 hours Credit Year Taken 2 hours Freshman year 9 hours Freshman year hours Freshman year United States History (HIS 111, 112) Mathematics, MTH 110, 111, or 122 1 5 hours Freshman year (by placement) Computer Science (CSC 1 63) 2 hours Freshman year Religion (REL 101) 5 hours as best scheduled Speech (SPC 105) 3 hours as best scheduled Physical Education Activities 4 hours as best scheduled Common Core Total 40 hours Electives: 55 hours I.

'Occasionally, if taught under the LAN label, other languages (Japanese, Hebrew, etc.) may also count as general education. Placement Appropriate placement in certain courses is essential. Students entering LaGrange College bringing with them two (2) years of high school foreign language will be placed in an intermediate level course of that language; or if the student chooses he or she may start the study of another language at the beginning level. Students for whom English is not the native language may consult with 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. During the first few days on campus all students will undergo diagnostic assessment. These inventories are necessary for (1) planning for majors and careers, (2) providing the comparison levels for subsequent general educa- tion assessment, and (3) determining current skill levels in mathematics and English. Mathematics placement is based on skills assessment. Some students who are not predicted to be successful in any one of these general education mathematics courses (110, 111, or 122) are required 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. 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 Academic Programs and Degree Requirements / 71 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 between 38 and 45 are placed in either ENG 100 or ENG 101 based on a consideration of a written sample of work submitted by the student during the specified diagnostic assessment time schedule for English. 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 coursework. It should be noted, however, that students who have not been enrolled at LaGrange College for four years, or who transferred from LaGrange College 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 recog- nized testing procedures. Advanced placement credit is accepted for those students who present evidence from the high school that advance place- ment programs have been completed and who present scores of 4 or 5 on the advanced placement test of the College Education 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 members and students selected for their academic achievement, their demonstration 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 forma- tion of the informal support group, the beginning of the systematic process of selecting possible 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 successful four-year college experience. 72 / Academic Programs and Degree Requirements 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 inventory 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 is a requirement for graduation with a baccalaureate degree. Nontypical Students and the General Education Requirements Nontypical students are those who enter college for the first time and who meet any two of the three following criteria: (1) aged twenty-five or greater (2) employed full-time or at least three-fourths time (3) living off campus These students may have experiences and needs differing from tradi- tional students which may allow them to develop a curriculum plan of their own to meet the general education requirements. The common core portion (40 quarter hours) of the general education requirements is the same for these students as it is for traditional students. However, as part of the College 101 "Gateway to Success" class require- ments, the nontypical student may develop a personal proposal for fulfill- ing the remaining 55 quarter hours portion of the general education requirements. This proposal is normally prepared utilizing the guidelines specified below and is reviewed and accepted by the Evening Studies Director. At that point the nontypical student is classified as a nontradi- tional student. Any proposal deviating from the guidelines must be approved by the curriculum committee. Once the contract is developed it may be changed only one time. Students may appeal the action of the cur- riculum committee to the Academic Advisory Council. As a general rule the nontraditional general requirement option is for incoming freshmen students. To be eligible the freshmen student must: (1) Meet the nontypical criteria upon matriculation (see 1-3 in opening paragraph of this section). (2) Complete COL 101. (3) Initiate the contract process before beginning the third quarter in res- idence. (4) Complete (gain approval for) the contract within the first 45 hours earned. The nontraditional general education requirement option also is avail- able for new transfer students who meet the nontypical criteria and who have completed no more than 20 hours of general education beyond the common core upon matriculation at LaGrange College. For this proposal to be considered, it must be initiated during the first quarter in residence and Academic Programs and Degree Requirements I 73 finalized (approved) before the new, nontypical transfer student earns 20 hours at LaGrange College.

A minor must include at least 30 hours, 15 of which must be in 300-level or above courses. Specific courses are not designated, but they must be approved by the chair in the minor department. Special Institutes/Continuing Education LaGrange College coordinates and initiates special institutes and contin- uing 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.). 76/ 177 Academic Regulations and Procedures Orientation and Counseling All new students are introduced to LaGrange College through an orien- tation program which takes place at the beginning of each quarter. The ori- entation program is designed to acquaint the new students with various phases of the life of the College including traditions, procedures, and regu- lations. 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 decision 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 adjusting to the inadequacies in pre-college preparation. To help students at LaGrange College face these issues in an organized way, Freshman Seminar is taught. This two-hour course provides an opportunity for freshman 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 registration procedures for all quarters are under the direction of the Vice President and Dean of the College. Students have not completed registra- tion until they have cleared the Registrar, Dean of Student Development and the Business Office. Students 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 meeting all requirements rests with the individual student. A student interested in a particular major should inform his general adviser in order that special prerequisite courses for the major may be scheduled. A 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 stu- 78 / Academic Regulations and Procedures dent will then be assigned to an adviser in the department in which he will major. A student planning to pursue a program in Teacher Education must take application in writing to the chair of the Department of Education at least by the time he/she declares a major. A student's major program requirements are those described in the col- lege 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 Vice President and 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 College must confer with the Dean of the College and the Dean of Student Development. Withdrawals are not permitted the last week of class. Academic Standing 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 45 hours) must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 1.65 to avoid being placed on probation. Sophomores (45-89 hours), a 1.75 GPA; Juniors (90-134 hours), a 1.85 GPA; and Seniors (135 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 quarter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or for other valid aca- demic reasons (such as violating cheating and plagiarism standards). In the case of part-time students, the extent of application of these regulations will be at the discretion of the Vice President and Dean of the College. Normally, all applications of the regulations will be based upon a full academic load. The grade report sent to the student provides information on standing. "Probation one" means that the student's next term will be the first term on probation, etc. "Dean's Decision" means that the student's academic records have been given to the Vice President and Dean of the College for action. 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 Academic Regulations and Procedures I 79 Vice President and Dean of the College drop from class with a grade of W or WF any student whose absences are interfering with satisfactory per- formance 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 institution) without the approval of the Vice President and 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. Acceleration Students desiring to accelerate their college program may complete requirements in less than four academic years. This may be accomplished by attending summer schools and/or taking an academic overload. Permission to take an overload in any quarter is granted only to those stu- dents 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 with- out 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 recog- nized testing procedures. Advanced placement credit is accepted for those students who present evidence from the high school that advance place- ment programs have been completed and who present scores of 4 or 5 on the advanced placement test of the College Entrance Examination Board administered by Educational Testing Service. Academic Honors Upon graduation, students who have been in residence at LaGrange College for at least their last 90 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 1 5 quarter hours of work will be placed on the Dean's list. Academic honors at graduation are awarded only to students complet- ing the four-year program (effective with 1985 graduates). 80 / Academic Regulations and Procedures 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 stu- dent status, LaGrange College is subject to regulations or guidelines. Guidelines change, students should contact the Vice President and Dean of the College or the Registrar for interpretation 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. Federal regulations concerning "status" for all international students on an F-1 visa states that any student who falls below 1 2 quarter hours at any time will be considered out-of-status and must be reinstated by Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS). 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 sequence, ENG 010, 011. Further, if it is apparent that a student's English continues to jeopardize a successful academic career, the Vice President and Dean of the College may require that a student attend a special, inten- sive 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 accor- dance 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 corre- spondence courses and military 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 corresponding reduction will be made in the total number of hours required for the degree. Academic Regulations and Procedures / 81 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 the student's control has been unable to complete the work during that quarter. This defer- ment must be given written approval in advance by the instructor and the Vice President and 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 Vice President and Dean of the College. Only lecture courses may be audited. No new freshman student may audit any course during the first quarter of residence at LaGrange College. An / is a temporary grade, assigned by an instructor within the last three weeks of the term to students who are doing satisfactory work and who cannot 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 initiates the following action: The registrar will write a letter to the student using the address on file. The letter indi- cates that the student has two weeks to respond. Otherwise the "\" grade will be converted to 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. Pluses and minuses indicate performance just above or below letter grade level. Grade point averages are computed using pluses and minuses. 82 / Academic Regulations and Procedures Grades are assigned and recorded for each course at the end of each quarter. Formal reports of grades are also issued at the same time. Transcripts are withheld for any student who is under financial obligation to the College. Requirements for Bachelor Degrees A Summary LaGrange 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. Baccalaureate degrees require a minimum of 195 quarter hours of credit including required coursework in general education and the major. There is often an opportunity to select course work electives. The minimum work required for graduation is 195 quarter hours and a 2.0 quality-point average 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 applica- tion for the degree before the beginning of his/her final quarter. A student who does not earn a degree in sixteen full quarters or the equivalent may be denied further registration. In order to graduate in four academic years a student, at a minimum, should take 16-17 quarter hours credit each term. A student who takes at least twelve quarter hours credit is classified as full-time. 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 quar- ter. Request to take an overload must be granted in the office of the Vice President and Dean of the College. Quality points are earned as follows: A, 4; B, 3; C, 2; D, 1 ; F, 0. Pluses and minuses respectively add and subtract three tenths of a point to the quality point. (Example a B- is 2.7 quality points.) The exception is that an A and an A+ are both computed using 4. 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 addi- tional 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 grade of C or better is acceptable. Academic averages are computed on work done only at LaGrange College. Academic Regulations and Procedures 1 83 There are two ways by which a student must meet residency require- ments 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 adviser and the Vice President and Dean of the College 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. Grades earned for transient work are not included in the cumulative grade average. Normally, after receiving an unsatisfactory grade in a course at LaGrange College, a student will not be given credit for repeating that course at another institution. Credit totaling 10 hours or more earned in this way during the last 90 hours or final 6 quarters precludes that student's being granted credit for any course work taken by extension or by corre- spondence 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 Vice President and 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 fulfill- ment 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 graduated that quarter. A student is classified as a freshman if he has earned fewer than 45 hours of credit. A student is classified as a sophomore if he has earned 45- 89 hours of credit. To be classified as a junior, a student must have earned 90 hours of credit. A student is classified as a senior upon having earned 1 35 hours of credit. A student should be alert to the fact that 1 95 hours are required for graduation. Attaining these minimum progression require- ments may not be sufficient to insure graduation within the three quarters of the senior year. No grade below C- in any course above 100-level may be applied toward a major. Requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree As previously described, the College offers programs of study leading to the Associate of Arts degree. Students pursuing an associate degree must complete the general education component required for that degree, the pre- scribed 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 average is necessary. 84 / Academic Regulations and Procedures Transcripts Students are entitled to transcripts of their record free of charge. No transcripts will be issued for any student under financial obligation to the College. Transcript requests must be made in writing to the Registrar well in advance of the time the transcript is needed. Transcripts will be issued promptly; however, at the beginning and end of quarters some delay may be unavoidable. 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 Vice President and Dean of the College who shall seek, in an informal confer- ence, to settle the grievance to the satisfaction of the two parties involved. If no resolution can be found, the Dean 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 Vice President and 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 Requirements A student who enters LaGrange 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 suspends his/her study and re-enters more than four years later, he/she will graduate under the requirements of the Bulletin in effect at the time of 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 quarter in residence. This is called a "graduation petition." The major adviser and the Office of the Vice President and 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 education goals are being achieved. This eval- uation will be in both the general education area and the major. Students who graduated in June of 1990 were the first to participate in these com- prehensive evaluations. Consult the specific majors for the details. Academic Regulations and Procedures I 85 Graduation Rate Graduation rates are being collected tor all students who enter LaGrange College. For students who entered Fall 1988, 47.0% of new freshmen and 49.1 of new students (freshmen and transfers) persisted to graduation at LaGrange College. For students who entered seeking an Associate-level degree 84.6% of the new freshmen of 1991 persisted to attain the Associate of Arts degree. The analysis of those who did not per- sist to graduation at LaGrange College is incomplete; it includes, however, students who transferred to complete programs that were part of an overall academic plan (dual degree engineering, certain allied health fields and similar areas) as well as students who dropped out for academic, financial or personal reasons. Students who compare graduation rates should be certain that they are comparing figures that represent identical databases. 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. Income from the endowment is to be used annually in funding the Waights G. Henry lectures for the benefit of our students and as approved by the trustees of the College. The Arthur H. Thompson Lectureship brings to the campus each year noted scholars to address the faculty and student body on the interrelation- ship of a field knowledge and the Christian religion.

At the time there are numerous departmental awards made. 88/ /89 Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs Pre-professional Programs of Study LaGrange College has a curriculum and environment that is well-suited to preparation for further study in fields such as law and medicine. These programs include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation for the fol- lowing areas. LAW The pre-law advising committee is chaired by Dr. Tracy Lightcap and is composed of Dr. Lightcap, Dr. Frederick Mills, Dr. Brenda Thomas and Dr. Kevin Reidy. Students considering attending law school should consult with one of these faculty members beginning in their freshman year and should meet quarterly with other students interested in pre-law. Law school bulletins and LSAT study guides are located on the ground floor of Banks Library in the Writing Center. Students entering law school come from many 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 bul- letin, however, suggests that entering students must have a strong back- ground 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 advisors for their majors. The pre-dental student should select a major as early as possible and work toward the B.A. degree. Some dental schools accept students with fewer than four years of college train- ing, but most of them prefer a student with the baccalaureate degree. The pre-dental student should be familiar with the specific requirements set by the dental schools to which he plans to apply. There is some varia- tion in the requirements of the various schools, but the minimum require- ments set by most schools of dentistry are: 90 / Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs Inorganic Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours Organic Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours Biology with lab 1 quarter hours Physics with lab 1 5 quarter hours English 10 quarter hours All applicants must complete the Dental Admission Test not later than the October testing preceding the year of desired entry. MEDICINE (M.D.) 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. The pre-medicine student should select a major as soon as possible and seek the B.A. degree. Medical schools rarely accept candidates with less than the baccalaureate degree. The student should familiarize himself with the requirements of the sev- eral medical schools to which he plans to apply. Requirements vary some- what in the various medical schools, but the minimum requirements of most medical schools are: Biology with lab 1 5 quarter hours General Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours Organic Chemistry 1 5 quarter hours Physics 1 5 quarter hours Every applicant must take the Medical College Admission Test, prefer- ably in the spring preceding the submission of his application to medical school, but no later than the fall of that year. VETERINARY MEDICINE 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. The pre-veterinary student should be familiar with the specific requirements of the school to which he plans to apply. The minimum requirements set by most schools of veterinary medicine are as follows: A candidate must have completed at least 90 quarter hours of college credit by the end of the spring quarter before fall matriculation at the veteri- nary school. The B.A. degree is preferred. The following required courses must have been completed prior to entry into veterinary school. English 1 quarter hours Biology with lab 1 quarter hours Zoology or Botany 5 quarter hours Microbiology 5 quarter hours Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs I 91 Biochemistry 5 quarter hours Inorganic Chemistry with lab 10 quarter hours Organic Chemistry with lab 10 quarter hours Animal Nutrition* 5 quarter hours The candidate must have worked with a veterinarian, and he mtvsf have had hands-on experience working with large and small animals. Each applicant will be required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) including the Advanced Biology Section and the Veterinary Aptitude Test. These tests should be taken October or December of the year prior to probable admission to veterinary school. "Not available at LaGrange College ENGINEERING LaGrange College has an engineering-oriented program designed to pro- vide the student with a broad liberal arts background while preparing the stu- dent for a professional engineering program. Dual-degree programs in engineering have been established with Georgia Institute of Technology or Auburn University. Students accepted in the dual-degree program will attend LaGrange College for approximately three academic years (a minimum of 146 quarter hours) and then either Georgia Institute of Technology or Auburn University for approximately two academic years. After completing the acad- emic requirements of the two cooperating institutions, the student shall be awarded a bachelor's degree from LaGrange College and a bachelor's degree in engineering from either Georgia Institute of Technology or Auburn University. In addition, a dual degree program is being negotiated with Mercer University and should be in place for Fall 1993. Those interested in the Mercer Program should contact the Pre-Engineering Adviser. It is strongly suggested that all students considering either the dual degree program in engineering or transferring into an engineering program contact the pre-engineering adviser, Dr. Bill McCoy, prior to registration. To be eligible to enroll in the dual-degree program in engineering a stu- dent must have a 2.3 or better grade point average. In addition to complet- ing the General Education Curriculum, a student in the dual degree program must complete the courses listed below. The courses are listed in sequence for the first two years at LaGrange College. While this order is strongly suggested, the courses may be taken over the three years of resi- dence at LaGrange College. 92 / Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs Fall Quarter MTH 122 Calculus I ENG 101 Composition I CHM 101 General Chemistry I COL 101 Freshman Seminar First Year Winter Quarter MTH 123 Calculus II ENG 102 Composition II CHM 102 General Chemistry II HIS 101*or 111** World or American Spring Quarter MTH 124 Calculus III ENG 103 Composition III SPC 1 05 Speech Fundamentals HIS 102* or 112** World or American Computer Science 1 63 Microcomputers *For students planning to attend Auburn University For students planning to attend Ga Tech MTH 322 Calculus IV PHY 121 Physics I General Education Electivet or CSC 199** Algorithms Second Year MTH 323 Calculus V PHY 122 Physics II General Education Electivet or CSC 280 FORTRAN* MTH 324 Diff Equ PHY 123 Physics III General Education Electivet or MTH 335 Linear Algebra tSubject to approval by the adviser *For students planning to attend Auburn University **For students planning to attend Ga.

Political Science 101 may be required, and electives in literature are suggested to make up 90 quarter hours of academic work. Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs 1 93 JOURNALISM The student who plans a career in journalism needs a wide range of courses in many areas. A recommended basic program would include approximately 20 hours in humanities, 20 hours in mathematics and sci- ence, 20 hours in social science, and 30 hours in a major field. Specific courses to prepare for admission to individual schools should be selected in consultation with the adviser. PHYSICAL THERAPY The pre-Physical Therapy general adviser is Dr. John Hurd. Most schools which offer training in Physical Therapy award a Bachelor's degree after successful completion of classroom and clinical work. Students are admit- ted to such programs after completion of 90 quarter hours of work includ- ing approximately 20 hours in Humanities, 20 hours in Math and Science, 20 hours in Social Science plus 30 hours in a major field such as Biology. Specific courses to prepare for admission to individual schools should be selected in consultation with the adviser. OPTOMETRY The pre-Optometry general adviser is Dr. John Hurd. Students selecting a major other than Biology should consult early and frequently with Dr. Hurd in addition to their primary advisers for their majors. Though selected students may be admitted to Optometry School after three years of prepara- tion, most are admitted after receiving Bachelors or Masters degrees. Optometry involves fours years of study after admission to the program and in some areas also includes a brief internship. Majors in any academic area are acceptable though the student should include emphasis on the sci- ences. Preparation for admission to a specific school can be planned with the assistance of the adviser. 94/ /95 Departments and Courses Table of Contents Academic Divisions 96 Abbreviations and Numbers 98 Art and Design 99 Biology 1 03 Business Administration 1 06 Chemistry 114 Christian Education (see Religion) Computer Science 1 20 Criminal Justice 1 25 Dance 127 Economics 1 28 Education 132 English and Literature 140 General Science 1 44 Health, Physical Education, and Recreation 145 History 151 Library Science 155 Mathematics 156 Modern Foreign Language 1 62 Music 1 66 Nursing 1 70 Philosophy 1 75 Physics ' . 1 76 Political Science 1 77 Psychology 181 Religion 1 86 Sociology/Social Work 1 90 Speech 1 93 Theater Arts 1 94 96 / Departments and Courses Academic Divisions Business Administration and Economics Professors: Cousins, Dupuy Associate Professors: Benavides, Birkeli Assistant Professors: Callahan, Reidy This division contains the Department of Business Administration and Economics, and the A.A., B.A., B.B.A. and the M.B.A. degrees are offered.

A student may choose a studio concentration in more than one area. The courses required of the studio concentration are specific and should be determined in consultation with the student's advisor when the student first declares a major in art. Objectives are established as a basis for the education program in Art and Design at LaGrange College. These objectives also include a means of determining deficiencies prior to graduation so that necessary steps can be taken to correct these deficiencies. The objectives are: 1. to develop technical knowledge pertaining primary to the student's chosen area of concentration, but not limited to it. 2. to help the students develop an artistic vocabulary, especially in their specific area of concentration. 3. to assist the students in finding and focusing their creative ideas into a consistent body of work. 4. to instruct the students in the correct means of presenting their work in a portfolio or exhibition. 5. to give each student an understanding of graduate study in specific studio areas. 6. to encourage students to exhibit their work and acquaint them with the gallery system. 7. to require a freshman review, spring quarter, consisting mainly of portfolio evaluations. 8. to provide the students with a creative environment by using all available resources. This would include field trips to galleries and museums, course work in locations of artistic interest, guest lectures and workshops related to the exhibitions in the College's galleries. To accomplish these objectives students will take the following courses: 30 hrs. of basic course requirements of all art majors ART 1 09, 110, 111, 151, 152, 153.

Within the major, a student may elect to emphasize human biology, field-oriented biology or biochemical and microscopic aspects of life science. A plan of study to help the student pursue both the individual's and the Department's objectives is developed by consultation between the student and his advisor. 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 addition, one course from the following must be taken with the approval of the major academic advisor; General Science 492, an advanced Chemistry course, Mathematics 31 4 or 31 6, Physics 1 25. 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 addition, many graduates find employment in industry some in labora- tories, 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. (3 hrs. lee, 4 hrs. lab per week) (5) Fall, Winter, Spring.

Introduction The Graduate and undergraduate programs in business administration are accredited nationally by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). 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 competence. The goals are to help students develop (1) increased under- standing of the nature and purposes of our business system and of our eco- nomics system and of the relationship of business to the socioeconomic system in which it operates; (2) increased understanding of and proficiency in the major business functions; and (3) increased understanding of micro- and macro-economic theory and policy choices. The program is designed to serve both the general student population and department majors. As a contribution to the general requirements area, the department provides an introduction to economic thought with ECO 101 Contemporary Economic Issues. The department also provides oppor- tunities 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 par- ticularly pertinent for majors in the Social Sciences and Computer Science. For students who elect to move beyond this introduction and pursue a major in business, the department offers several undergraduate degree 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 Administration degree, with a concentration in either accounting, business economics, general business management, or international business. The department also offers course work leading to the Master of Business Administration degree (See Graduate Bulletin). The Economics program is described in the section on Economics. The department provides for the majors the background to enter gradu- ate and professional schools, and to obtain employment in a wide variety of organizations. 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. Business Administration / 1 07 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 of business. 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 oppor- tunity 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 vari- ety 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, general business, or international busi- ness. Many of the students who pursue the B.B.A. degree are those who seek careers in enterprise management, or as specialists in the specific area of concentration. The concentration in accounting prepares students to sit for the Certified Management Accountant examination. Students wishing to sit for the Certified Public Accountant examination will need to complete additional coursework to meet the new licensing requirements that will become effective in the state of Georgia in May 1 998. During their sophomore year students may declare their intentions to pursue a major in business administration. Business administration majors should note that the requirements for the major, including required courses, applicable to them are those in effect when they declare their major, not those in effect when they first entered the college. A passing score in a comprehensive Departmental Assessment Test is required for graduation. This D.A.T. may be repeated as necessary. III.

Therefore, in addition to being a major in its own right, the study of chemistry is a part of many cur- ricula. The Chemistry Department focuses its introductory chemistry course as an element in a liberal education, a service to other departments and the beginning of a comprehensive study of Chemistry. The department offers both B.A. and B.S. majors as well as a minor which can lead to a variety of future occupations. Students with majors in chemistry have gone on to tra- ditional pursuits such as Graduate School in Chemistry or Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Medical School, Law School (Patent Law, Corporate Law), as well as becoming Laboratory Technicians and Salespeople for chemistry related industries. A growing field is Environmental Science, which is strongly founded in chemistry. The B.A. degree offers a broad background in chemistry while allowing ample time for extensive coursework in other fields. The B.A. is appropri- ate for those interested in one of the medical or law related professions or for students desiring the broadest possible education as well as an empha- sis in natural science. The B.S. program is designed for those going on to graduate school in a chemically related field (Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemical Physics, Environmental Chemistry) or those seeking employment as chemists after graduation. The B.S. degree is gener- ally more highly valued at professional schools where entrance standards are high. While the B.S. degree is more demanding of a student's time, there is sufficient time for electives outside the sciences. The specific objectives for the respective degrees are as follows: The Bachelor of Science Degree Students who earn the B.S. 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.

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 socio- economic system in which it operates; (2) increased understanding of and proficiency in the major business functions; and (3) increased understanding of micro- and macro-economic theory and policy choices. The program is designed to serve both the general student 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 depart- ment 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 pertinent for majors in the Social Sciences and Computer Science. For students who elect to move beyond this introduction and pur- sue a major, 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, or in economics; or the Bachelor of Business Administration degree, with a concentration in either accounting, business economics, or general business management. The department also offers course work leading to the Master of Business Administration degree. The 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 vari- ous 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. Economics/ 1 29 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 analy- sis. They will also be well informed in the historical development of eco- nomic 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 or selected MTH courses with advisor's approval. MTH 314 Statistics MTH 1 22 Anal. Geometry & Calculus I IV. The accomplishment of these objectives will be assessed after an intensive review of the student's progress and accomplishments. The student will demonstrate this competence by a satisfactory score on a comprehensive examination, which may include both written and oral segments. This departmental assessment must be taken during the senior year and may be repeated as necessary. V. Students who complete the majors offered in the department have found employment in a number of organizations, including public ser- vice (military and non-military, federal, state or local), education, manufacturing, finance and retailing.

The education curriculum at LaGrange College serves four basic purposes. 1 ) to provide for development of those professional understandings and abilities which are essential to the professional role to be assumed by the student. 2) to provide planned and carefully guided sequences of laboratory experiences where the student will have opportunities to translate theory into action. 3) to provide programs in Early Childhood Education, Middle Childhood Education, Secondary Education, and Art Education at the undergrad- uate level which are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. 4) to provide programs leading to the Master of Education degree in Early Childhood Education and Middle Childhood Education which are fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Teacher Certification LaGrange College offers a variety of degree programs which are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission and lead to certification in Georgia. Students desiring to be certified upon completion of their pro- grams should plan to work especially close with their advisers since certifica- tion requirements are subject to change. At the undergraduate level, completion of an approved program con- ducted by the college and a qualifying TCT score entitles a student to be certified at the NT-4 level. Graduates who have an NT-4 certificate may qualify for Performance-Based Certification (PBT-4) by demonstrating per- formance through an on-the-job assessment.

The aim of the Department is to teach pro- ficiency in the use of the English language and to acquaint students with the best of their literary 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 inter- ested in language and literature has no career options outside the field of education. While many dedicated people find teaching to be a satisfying livelihood, there is documentary evidence "that training in English and lit- erature, particularly at the college level, is invaluable preparation for futures in four outstanding professional areas: law, medicine, business and federal service" (See English: The Professional Major by Linwood Orange. This pamphlet, published in its fourth edition by the Modern Language Association of American, 1986, is available in the Department of English and in the Office of Admission.) The Department of English Language and Literature has established a Writing Center which is located in Banks Library. 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 of writing fellows. The hours of the center are posted. OBJECTIVES All students at LaGrange 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 logi- cally and intelligently. (4) understand rudiments of research-based writing. (5) become acquainted with the best of Western society's literary heritage. (6) gain basic skills in a language other than English. To that end, the student majoring in English must take three courses from French, German, or Spanish. Substitutes may be permitted by consent of the Chairman. English Language and Literature/ 141 Three courses from 104, 105, 106, 107 are required as prerequisites to the major in English, which consist 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. ACCOMPLISHMENT OF OBJECTIVES For the major and non-major, each student will pass three courses in Readings 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 Literature 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. (12) with lab Fall.

The faculty firmly believe that the liberal arts preparation, 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 LaGrange College with knowledge of the historical forces which have shaped civilization as we know it. To achieve the objective set forth above, the faculty seek 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 his/her 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 oppor- tunity 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 benefi- cially utilized. Graduates of the Department of History may be found pursuing careers in business, law, education, politics and government, broadcasting, jour- nalism, 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.

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE The purpose of the LaGrange College Associate Degree program is to prepare individuals for careers in nursing with a Christian, liberal arts set- ting. 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, communicator, and member within the profession of nurs- ing. 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 founda- tion for further studies leading to a higher degree in nursing or other areas. The last class for the associate degree will enter in September 1994. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing will be offered beginning September 1 995. 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 attendance policies excepting clinical laboratory where attendance is not permitted. *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 sci- ence course. A student who earns two final course grades of D or F in any required biological science is not permitted to enter or 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 com- pleted 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 WF (withdrawn fail- ing) in a nursing course. Nursing/ 1 71 Graduation Requirements: 1 . All curriculum requirements must be successfully completed. 2. An exit exam which covers each of the five clinical areas (Medical, Surgical, Psychiatric, Pediatric, and Maternity Nursing) will be adminis- tered 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 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, 28 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 nursing. A sample course progression is as follows: FRESHMAN Fall Winter Spring Mathematics 110* . .5 Nursing 111 . .6 Nursing 112 . .8 Nursing 110**. . . . .6 Biology 149 . ... . .5 Biology 320 or Biology 148 . .5 Psycholc }gy 1 49 . . .5 Psychology 302 . . .5 Col 101 . .2 18 16 English 101 . .3 16 Summer Sociology 146. . . . .5 Bio 320/Psy 302 . . . 5 English 102 . .3 Computer Science 163 . . . .2 15 SOPHOMORE Fall Winter Spring Nursing 214 .... . 12 Nursing 215 .... . 12 Nursing 216 ... . . 12 English 103 . .3 15 12 Nursing 21 7 ... . . . 2 14 1 72 / Nursing Total hours: 106 Nursing: 58 General Education: 28 Non-Nursing 20 *A higher level mathematics course may be substituted, based on placement testing. **Prior to entering Nursing 110, a student must present proof of current certification in basic cardiopul- monary resuscitation (CPR). Certification must be maintained throughout subsequent nursing courses. II. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING A nursing education program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree will be offered beginning Fall quarter 1995. This pro- gram of study will be grounded in a heritage of Christian liberal arts learn- ing, emphasizing the integration of knowledge and student-faculty collaboration in the educational process. The nursing faculty is committed to a program which builds a sound foundation for professional nursing practice, continuing personal development, and graduate study. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, currently under develop- ment, is being designed to meet all standards for full approval by the Georgia Board of Nursing and for accreditation by the National League for Nursing. A graduate of the approved program will be eligible for licensure as a registered nurse upon successful completion of the National Council Licensing Examination-RN. A BSN degree completion option will be offered for registered nurses who hold an Associate Degree or Diploma in Nursing. Previously com- pleted nursing courses will be recognized on a transfer basis under the requirements of the Georgia RN-BSN Articulation Agreement. Under this option, the potential for part-time or full-time study will facilitate degree completion by the employed registered nurse. Students may declare their intent to pursue a nursing major at any time and will be assigned a nursing academic advisor. However, prior to accep- tance into nursing studies at the beginning of the student's junior year, a substantial portion of the General Education Curriculum, described in this Bulletin, and selected other coursework must be completed at a satisfac- tory level. Space in the nursing program is necessarily limited, and accep- tance is determined on a competitive basis. Applications to the nursing program will be required of all students and may be submitted after January 1 st of the student's sophomore year. A full description of the BSN degree curriculum will appear in the 1995- 1996 LaGrange College Bulletin. Prior to publication, information is avail- able in the office of the Division of Nursing.

OBJECTIVES A student who graduates from LaGrange College with a major in psy- chology will: 1. recognize the importance of an EMPIRICAL approach in attempting to understand behavior. 2. be familiar with the concepts, terms, and explanatory principles characteristic 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 princi- ples of logico-empirical science, the various theorists listed above. 4. be able to identify and discuss examples of the major "types" of learn- ing, to wit: classical, operant, observational, information processing. 5. be familiar with generalizations regarding physiological correlates of behavior. 6. be familiar with the major historical developments in psychology. 7. be familiar with the terminology of the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM IV). 8. be familiar with the different theoretical approaches (including the psychoanalytic, the humanistic, and social learning-behavioral) in the description, 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. 12. be familiar with the standard procedures for summarizing data, including the construction of frequency tables, the calculation of measures of central tendency (means, medians, and modes), calcu- 1 82 / Psychology lation of measures of dispersion (range, variance, and standard devi- ation), and correlation coefficients. 13. be familiar with the logic of hypothesis testing including the state- ment 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, 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 See Note 1 Below) PSY 298, PSY 299 Experimental Content (Select Two) PSY 455, PSY 465, PSY 470 Social/Personality/Development Content (Select Three See Note 2 Below) PSY 321 , (PSY 302 or PSY 358), PSY 350, PSY 460 Advanced Special Topics (Required See Note 3 Below) PSY 480 Notes: 1. Since this department views psychology as a research based disci- pline, it is strongly recommended that the student complete PSY 298 and PSY 299 as soon as possible after the major is declared. 2. 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. 3. PSY 480 will be offered once per year and will involve advanced study of a specialized topic. Topics will vary from year to year. 4. PSY 149, Introduction to Psychology, is the prerequisite to all 200 level and above psychology courses. Some courses have other prerequisites. 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, and BIO 148 may be applied toward the major with the approval of the advisor. Psychology/ 183 Assessment 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. Career Options 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 man- agement and supervisory positions in business and industry and positions in community and state service agencies. A psychology major also serves as good preparation for advanced study in law, social science, counseling, and psychology. Miscellaneous 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 1 01 -1 02 sequence to satisfy the science portion of the general requirements. A maximum of 10 hours of special topics courses may be applied to the Psychology Major. Course Descriptions 149. Introduction to Psychology.

It is the belief of the faculty that the training process must simulate the "real world" of theater. With the belief that theater is both an art form and a business, the curriculum provides a strong undergraduate foundation in theater performance, design/production, and literature. Classroom instruction is enhanced through practical experiences in the form of fully staged productions each quarter. Students may also participate in the departments Summer Repertory Company, an intensive program in acting, technical theater, stage management, and other production areas. Offering a B.A. in Theater Arts, majors are required to complete a 52 hour flexible core curriculum designed to allow students to create a generalist, performance, or design/production emphasis. In addition, 20 hours of elec- tees are required in theater. OBJECTIVES The following objectives are established as a basis for the training pro- gram in Theater Arts. Upon application for graduation, the Theater Arts major will be expected to: 1 ) have an understanding of the basic theoretical and evolutionary con- cepts behind each of the three major divisions within the discipline: performance, design/production, and literature. 2) have an artistic vocabulary especially in their specific area of con- centration. 3) have the technical knowledge pertaining to the student's chosen area of concentration, but not limited to it. 4) demonstrate an understanding of auditioning (actors) and or portfolio presentation (designers/technicians) through a juried presentation. 5) be knowledgeable of various unions within the entertainment indus- try, including but not limited to, Actors Equity Association (AEA), United Scenic Artists (USA), and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). 6) be knowledgeable of viable avenues of employment and sources noting such information. 7) have an understanding of graduate study and opportunities in theater and the performing arts.
