MISSION STATEMENT / PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION / DOCTRINAL STATEMENT NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

MISSION STATEMENT Northwestern College exists to provide Christ-centered higher education equipping students to grow intellectually and spiritually, to serve effectively in their professions, and to give God-honoring leadership in the home, church, community, and world.

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION Statement of Philosophy Northwestern College endeavors to provide education that is grounded first and foremost in the truth of the Bible and in God as the Ultimate Reality of the universe. Based on an intimate knowledge of the Word of God and with a deep, growing relationship with Jesus Christ, all other knowledge is interpreted in its proper and accurate perspective. The study of the Bible, theology, and the practice of personal spiritual disciplines is the foundation on which all other disciplines rest. When the apparent truths of an academic discipline conflict with the truth of God’s Word, we put our trust in God’s revealed truth in the Bible. Having an educational philosophy with its central core steeped in the revealed Word of God, we endeavor to provide a well-rounded education that equips students to have a broad understanding of the world God has created. Our approach to education reflects a commitment to the values of community, life-long learning, ministry, integrity and the pursuit of excellence. This approach enables our students to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to be effective in a variety of professions, to become leaders, and to be enthusiastic witnesses of God’s truth to the world. Northwestern College equips students to study the world with rigor, to participate meaningfully in our society, to be able to apply critical thinking skills in all inquiries, to express themselves with confidence and to have an overwhelming sense of God’s infinite wisdom regarding all things.

Foundational Beliefs We believe that all intellectual inquiry starts from a set of assumptions based on faith. We further believe that, from the beginning, God has revealed truth to humanity by His Word and by His creation. Because of the Fall, sin impairs our capacity to reason rightly and to

know truth. It is only God’s redemptive work of new creation through Jesus Christ, revealed in the Bible, that has restored our potential for rightly discerning and interpreting truth. All creation reflects God’s glory. Likewise, God has invested us with His image that we might glorify Him by seeking to know Him and the design and purpose of His creation in order to love and serve Him. Northwestern, as a community of faith and learning, is dedicated to that inquiry. At the core of the College’s educational purpose is the pursuit of truth as revealed in the Bible and through God’s creation. Therefore, the study of the Bible is central in our approach to education. Our pursuit of truth begins with the assumption that the Bible is the “governing discipline”—the foundation from which all other disciplines emerge, and the ultimate judge of all fields of inquiry. The Bible (correctly interpreted through the guiding instruction of the Holy Spirit and proper interpretive methods) is the lens through which we interpret knowledge discovered in all other subject areas. We believe that there is a consistency between biblical truth and truth discovered through reason and experience, but we hold that when apparent conflicts occur, all truth claims defer to the truth revealed in the Bible. God has made His people stewards of His creation and provided a general revelation of Himself through all that He has created. Believers are called to use their God-given rational abilities to understand, organize and use what God has revealed. Consequently, Northwestern College strives to instill in students the desire to pursue truth as a life-long calling and to provide them with the tools to learn the truths of the Bible and in all of God’s creation, and to be witnesses of God’s redemptive glory throughout the world.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT Northwestern’s educational programs and media ministries are firmly founded upon definitively formulated and explicitly stated biblical doctrines as follows:

I. The Scriptures

II. The Godhead

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally and plenarily inspired of God, are inerrant in the original writings, and are the infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct (II Tim. 3:16).

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 1:1,2). These three are equal in every divine perfection and execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation and redemption (John 15:2).

2010–11 CATALOG DOCTRINAL STATEMENT / STATEMENT OF UNITY / ACCREDITATION & AFFILIATIONS

III. The Father We believe in God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power (Gen. 1:1, Ex. 15:11, Job 12:13, Matt. 19:26). We rejoice that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer (Matt. 6:6), and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ (John 1:12).

IV. The Son, Jesus Christ We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal and only begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, sinless in His life, making atonement for the sin of the world by His substitutionary death on the cross. We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His present high priestly intercession for His people (Heb. 9:24), and His personal, visible, imminent (Heb. 9:28), and premillennial return to this earth according to His promise.

V. The Holy Spirit We believe in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from God to convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ (John 16:7,8).

VI. The Salvation of Man We believe that man was created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26), that he sinned in Adam, and that all men by nature and by choice are sinners having incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death which is separation from God (Rom. 3:23). We also believe that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that

whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Therefore, those who by faith, apart from human merit, works, or ceremonies, accept Christ as Lord and Saviour are justified on the grounds of His shed blood and become children of God. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust (I Cor. 15:22, Acts 17:31). The saved will rejoice forever in God’s presence, and the lost will be forever separated from God in everlasting conscious punishment. We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith (Jude 24).

VII. The Church We believe in the Church—a living, spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and of which all regenerated people are members. We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work, and fellowship (Eph. 1:22,23). We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “till He come” the ordinances of baptism (Matt. 3:13–15) and the Lord’s Supper (I Cor. 11:23–26); and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that human betterment and social improvement are essential products of the Gospel. We believe that Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

VIII. The Responsibility We believe that we are under divine obligation to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints by proclaiming to a lost world the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and the enthroning of Him as Lord and Master (Jude 3, Acts 16:30, Col. 3:1–3).

STATEMENT ON UNITY AT NORTHWESTERN We acknowledge that achieving unity within diversity is a major issue in our society today. We believe that the Word of God does speak to this issue.

After considerable discussion and prayer, we wish to affirm our commitment to biblical unity within the diversity that exists in the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-26). It is our desire that every person in the Northwestern Community be accepted and valued, regardless of gender, race, color, social status, ability/disability, age, ethnicity, or gifts. We believe that because Christ has reconciled us to God, and to one another, we must seek to maintain the unity of the

Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:1-6). Wherein we fail to do this, we should humbly seek forgiveness from God and one another. We pledge to lead our community in the process of reconciliation and the restoration and maintenance of God-honoring relationships among His people. We desire to be role models who will glorify God through our demonstration of biblical unity.

HISTORY Northwestern College was established as Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School at First Baptist Church of Minneapolis on October 2, 1902. The founder and first president was Dr. William Bell Riley, pastor of First Baptist Church. Dr. Riley and his church were known throughout the evangelical world for their fundamental biblical teaching in an age of spiritual apathy, liberalism, modernism and apostasy. From 1902 to 1924, Northwestern held classes in the educational buildings of First Baptist Church. From 1924 to 1947, Northwestern occupied Jackson Hall, built especially to accommodate both church and school programs. During Dr. Riley's tenure as president (1902–47), the institution experienced major growth. Under his leadership, Northwestern Theological Seminary was established in 1935 and the College of Liberal Arts in 1944. The Bible School, Theological Seminary and College of Liberal Arts were known collectively as "The Northwestern Schools." After Dr. Riley's death, evangelist William F. "Billy" Graham became president in 1948 and served in that capacity until 1952. In 1948, Northwestern moved to newly built Memorial Hall across from Loring Park near downtown Minneapolis. In February 1949, radio station KTIS went on the air from inside studios in Memorial Hall thanks in part to funds raised by Northwestern students. Currently, Northwestern Media owns and operates 16 stations in eight markets in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Florida. In 1951, the Bible School became a degree-granting Bible college by adding the fourth year to its former three-year curriculum. During the presidency of Dr. Richard Elvee (1953–57), the school began laying groundwork for accreditation. McAllister Library was dedicated under the leadership of Dr. Curtis B. Akenson (1957–65), enabling the college to build its biblical literature collection.

Under the presidency of Dr. William B. Berntsen (1966–84), Northwestern emerged as a "Christian College of the Bible, Arts and Sciences, and Vocational Education," a multipurpose institution dedicated to meeting basic collegiate educational needs of contemporary Christian youth. In 1970, Northwestern purchased a former Roman Catholic seminary campus in suburban Roseville/Arden Hills, the present site of Northwestern College. Classes began on the new campus in fall 1972. Over the next 13 years, enrollment rose from under 200 to almost 1,000. Moyer Hall was built in 1972, followed by Hartill/ Knutson Residences and Robertson Student Center in 1980, and the Totino Fine Arts Center in 1982. In 1985, Dr. Berntsen assumed the role of chancellor, and Dr. Donald O. Ericksen became Northwestern's sixth president, a position he held until August 1997. Dr. Ericksen's tenure as president saw tremendous growth in both college and Radio. Two new buildings were constructed (Berntsen Library in 1992, Ericksen Center in 1996), South and Southeast Residences were acquired, traditional academic offerings were expanded, and the FOCUS degree completion program and Distance Education were established. Northwestern Media added three stations and SkyLight, the satellite network, was created. Dr. Wesley R. Willis served as president from 1997 to 2000. During his tenure, enrollment grew to over 1,800 students in all programs, the Snelling Terrace apartment complex was acquired for additional student and married housing, and FOCUS and Distance Education expanded their programs.

HISTORY / CAMPUS NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

Northwestern launched the Urban Bible Institute in 2000 (now Northwestern College Bible Institute), providing discipleship training to emerging lay leaders and pastors of inner-city church and parachurch organizations. In 2001, the HCJB-affiliated Christian Center for Communications in Quito, Ecuador, became Northwestern's first international branch campus. Dr. Alan S. Cureton became Northwestern's eighth president in January 2002 and led the college through its year-long centennial celebration. In 2003, the Mel Johnson Media Center was completed as the headquarters for Northwestern's media ministry, the FOCUS adult degree completion program and the communication department. Later that year the radio network expanded to 15 stations with the purchase of two stations in the Des Moines, Iowa, market.

During the summer of 2008, the college completed the first phase of construction to prepare for the Billy Graham Community Life Commons. The new ring road and parking lot were constructed behind Riley Hall. Simultaneously, Northwestern signed a temporary threeyear lease of the former Holiday Inn in Arden Hills. Northwestern crews remodeled Arden Hall in three months to prepare for student housing in fall 2008. In October 2009, a groundbreaking ceremony launched the construction of the Billy Graham Community Life Commons, with a scheduled completion date of spring 2011. Today more than 3,000 students are enrolled in Northwestern's traditional and graduate and continuing education programs.

In 2005, the Center for Graduate Studies was established. In 2007, the college purchased the former Edina Realty office building at 2803 Lincoln Drive and began renovations. The Northwestern Office Center, which houses Marketing & Communications and Graduate & Continuing Education, relieved overcrowding in the college’s office spaces.

CAMPUS Nestled among the trees and surrounded by a mile of lakeshore, Northwestern’s 107-acre campus provides an excellent setting for learning and growing. The northern portion of the campus—Nazareth Hall (1921), Riley Hall (1961), Totino Fine Arts Center (1982), Berntsen Library (1992), and the Ericksen Center (1996)—ranges from Romanesque to Modern in architecture. Nazareth Hall is the main building, housing administrative and academic offices, classrooms, science laboratories, dining facilities, health services, and the chapel. Riley Hall serves as the primary administrative building and also contains several classrooms, faculty offices, computer laboratories, and the business department.

The Totino Fine Arts Center is the home of the art and music departments and Maranatha Hall, a 1,390-seat facility with full proscenium stage. Major performances of all types utilize the auditorium to capacity. The fine arts wing houses art studios, Denler Gallery, choral and instrumental practice areas, academic offices and theatre facilities. The Berntsen Library provides traditional book, periodical and audiovisual collections along with access to online indexes and full-text resources. Research librarians assist and educate patrons on accessing and using the world of information. The library also provides wireless Internet access and houses the Archives, specialized curricular collections, microform and photocopy facilities, listening and viewing facilities, group study rooms, classrooms and a Mac lab. The Ericksen Center houses a gymnasium with a regulation basketball court and bleacher seating for more than 1,200, surrounded by an elevated jogging surface. With bleachers retracted, the gymnasium converts into two sections, each containing a full-size basketball practice court. This facility also contains two racquetball courts, athletic training room, fitness center, locker rooms, two classrooms, multipurpose video room, and faculty/athletic department offices.

Campus Activities The Office of Alumni & Parent Relations seeks to promote the vision and mission of Northwestern College by focusing on two vital groups of constituents: Alumni and Parents. “Mine For a Lifetime”—As it relates to Alumni, our office seeks to provide endless meaningful connections between our alumni and the institution. We do this by offering various opportunities for continued education and services, while also providing channels for alumni input and involvement as we seek to build Christ-centered excellence in education at Northwestern. The avenues we take to accomplish our goals are ever-changing and developing. As we look toward the future, and hold onto the past, we hope to build a unified bridge for our alumni and their alma mater. “Connecting Your Home to Ours”—As it relates to Parents, our office strives is to partner with parents on all levels as they release their students into God’s care and watch them build upon the foundation each parent has laid. Our goal is to be a resource for parents as they seek to stay in touch with their student, keep up to date with the happenings at Northwestern, and connect with people who can address specific questions and concerns. We desire to offer practical help and information as parents navigate their way through their child’s college years. Please contact the Office of Alumni & Parent Relations at alumni@ nwc.edu & parents@nwc.edu , or by calling 1-877-405-3380.

ATHLETICS Athletics at Northwestern College exists to enhance the mission of the college and provide healthy and safe opportunities for men and women. Our staff, coaches, athletes, and fans honor Christ through competitive Christ-like attitudes, sportsmanship, speech, and actions.

Strong emphasis is placed upon the highest type of sportsmanship in intercollegiate and intramural activities. Athletic facilities include the Ericksen Center (see pages 8–10) and Reynolds field. Intercollegiate competition for men includes football, soccer, cross-country, golf, tennis, basketball, baseball, and track.

STUDENT ELECTRONIC MEDIA WVOE-FM 97.7 (wvoe.fm) is a student-operated radio station serving the student body. As a part of the program in Electronic Media Communication, WVOE-FM provides practical experience in the operation of a radio station and is the source for the best alternative Christian music for resident students. The NWC 7 Television Production Studio also provides experience in television broadcasting for Northwestern students. Weekly television news and late-night talk programs are produced, directed, and reported by students and aired campus-wide on NWC 7 as well as over the educational channel of the local cable system, serving ten metro area communities. In addition, students are often involved in televising athletic and other special events on campus. NWC Productions offers students experience producing, directing, writing and editing short films, commercials and other video productions. Participation in student radio and television broadcasting and the NWC Productions Workshops is open to all students, regardless of academic program.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The student newspaper, The Northwestern Column, provides an outlet for creative talent in writing, photography, and layout. Editors and staff members gain valuable experience in writing, analyzing issues, and in developing the discipline necessary for meeting deadlines. Through work on the College yearbook, the Scroll, student photographers, writers, and designers develop skills in computer layout, copywriting, and photojournalism. At the same time, they produce a pictorial review of the school year—a book of lifetime memories. Students may serve as editors of Northwestern’s literary magazine, Inkstone, which is published biannually. Students also have the opportunity to submit fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and photography for potential publication in Inkstone.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITY Matriculated students participating in co-curricular activities must be registered for at least 4 Northwestern credits in addition to their credit for the co-curricular activity to remain eligible for participation in that activity.

Students in their last term before graduation are only required to register for credits needed to meet degree requirements.

Visiting Campus A campus visit—whether a personal appointment or a special admissions event—is the best way for you to get a real handle on how you feel about Northwestern. We invite you to visit as often as you like. Prospective students are encouraged to schedule a campus visit for an interview with an admission counselor, a campus tour, and the daily chapel service. The visit can include appointments with the Financial Aid Office, Registrar, faculty members, coaches, or directors.

Applying to Northwestern Please arrange to have the following sent to the Office of Admissions: • Biographical and essays portions of the application (You may send it in separately from the other pieces of the application.) • Personal reference forms • Official high school transcript • ACT/SAT test results (Northwestern recommends, but does not require, the writing section of the ACT exam.) Prospective students who demonstrate potential to impact the College community through unique abilities, character, skills, or background will be shown preference in the admission process. The College does not discriminate on grounds of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, or disability. Admission to Northwestern College does not guarantee any unique or specific disability related accommodations. Prospective students with such concerns should contact the Disabilities Office of Support Services (DOSS) at 651631-5221 or 800-692-4020, ext. 5221 (see also page 16). APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR FALL SEMESTER The New Student application deadline is August 1. However, the College strongly recommends applying prior to May 1. Admission may close prior to deadline dates if enrollment availability fills up. APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR SPRING SEMESTER The New Student application deadline is December 15. Admission may close prior to this date if enrollment availability fills up.

Admission Criteria The following are criteria for admission to Northwestern's traditional undergraduate program: 1. Evidence of a new birth in Jesus Christ. 2. Likelihood of a successful college experience. 3. High school/home school diploma or GED certificate.

6. Ability to contribute to the College “community of excellence.” 7. Willingness to contribute to, and abide by, the patterns of life and conduct of the Northwestern community as outlined in the Declaration of Christian Community found in the application packet and the "Community Guidelines" in the Student Handbook.

Admission of International Students The College is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students. In addition to the regular admission criteria outlined previously, special admission procedures are necessary for students who are not citizens of the United States. Evidence of sufficient financial resources must be presented prior to admission, which must occur before student visa arrangements can be made. International students are encouraged to have all processes completed by April 1. For students from non-English speaking countries, English language capability must be demonstrated by a score of at least 530 on the paper-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), 197 on the computer-based TOEFL, or a 72 on the web-based exam. In the absence of any ACT/SAT score or writing placement examination results, all students for whom English is not the first language are required to start their English composition sequence with LAN0009. For further information, contact the Office of Admissions.

Transitional Admission A limited number of students with below-standard academic credentials can be admitted to the Transition-to-College Program. Unless low entrance examination scores are clearly offset by academic success in the classroom, students with ACT composite scores of 17 or below (or SAT Critical Reading and Mathematics combined scores of 850 or below), if admitted, must be enrolled in this program. The Transition-to-College Program entails the following stipulations: 1. First-semester enrollment includes the Study Strategies course (STS0009) plus other courses as required: • ENG0009 if ACT English score is 18 or below or • LAN0009 for students whose first language is not English, • MAT0008 if ACT Mathematics score is 17 or below and major does not require College Algebra, • RDG0009 if ACT Reading score is 16 or below 2. Students are allowed to register for up to 15 credits per semester. 3. Students are allowed to participate in one co-curricular activity per semester. 4. Students are assigned a first year advisor who assists them in planning their studies and transition into their chosen major.

TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION INFORMATION NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

5. Once students have completed the required courses and have attained good academic standing (see page 31), they are assigned an advisor in their major.

Admission of Special Students The Special Student classification at Northwestern College is designed for persons who desire to enroll for selected courses but do not intend to complete a certificate or degree program. The Office of Admissions will provide an abbreviated form of the application to students applying for this status. Admission as a Special Student does not imply eligibility to complete a certificate or degree program and does not grant eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics.

Early Admission Students who have not yet graduated from high school may be considered for admission at the end of their junior year. To qualify, the student must demonstrate exceptional academic ability, as evidenced by high grades in the subject areas of intended college study, and present above-average test scores. A major consideration for Early Admission is an evaluation by an appropriate secondary school administrator concerning the candidate’s maturity and likelihood of success at the college level. An interview with the Director of Admissions is required.

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) The PSEO program offers high school students an opportunity to save thousands of dollars off tuition. While Northwestern’s traditional undergraduate program does not participate in Minnesota’s Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, Northwestern offers correspondence and Web-based

courses that are approved for high schoolers’ participation through PSEO. Contact Distance Education at 651-631-5200 or 888-3628715. See also pages 33 and 105.

Credit by Examination (AP/IB/CLEP/DANTES) Credit for selected courses may be secured by students who demonstrate competency by means of scores on standardized examinations such as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) or by locally constructed examinations (see also page 42). A student may receive a maximum of 32 credits by these means. Specific information including courses and requirements, may be secured from the Registrar. Students may not take a lower-level CLEP or DANTES examination in an area in which they have completed a higher-level course. Credits may not be earned through CLEP or DANTES examinations whose content duplicates credit previously earned. Further information may be obtained by going to nwc.edu/registrar and selecting the Credit by Examination link.

Readmission Students wishing to be readmitted after an absence of one semester or more must complete the Re-enrollment form. This form can be obtained by calling 651-631-5248; 800-692-4020, ext. #5248; or by going to nwc.edu/registrar. A student who has been academically suspended may petition for readmission to the College two semesters after termination using the Re-enrollment form. Summer sessions are not counted in the required two semesters. Evidence must be supplied to support the request.

Payment of Accounts In order to help students and their families make convenient arrangements for payment of their educational expenses, Northwestern College offers ﬂexible payment plans. While payment is due in full the ﬁrst week of classes each semester, the College makes available two other options: 1. Information about monthly payment plans may be obtained from Student Accounts at 651-631-5352 or studentaccounts@nwc. edu. 2. Northwestern College's second option requires full payment for Fall Semester by September 30, 2009, and full payment for Spring Semester by January 31, 2010. With this payment option, a monthly 1% late charge (12.7% per annum) will be assessed on any unpaid balance as of the last day of each month. Historically, Northwestern College has had minimal difficulty receiving total payment on an account as the College makes every effort to work with students to resolve any difficulties they may have in paying their account in full. It is Northwestern College's policy to pursue the collection of all funds due. In the event a student account is past due, the College will send the account to a collection agency. If the collection of the past due account is unsuccessful, the College will pursue legal action. While these actions are not taken lightly, it is Northwestern College's obligation to its other students and supporters, as a good financial steward, to pursue the collection of all student accounts.

Enrollment Deposit In order to secure a place in the Northwestern College student body, a $200 enrollment deposit is required by May 1 for new students entering fall semester and prior to initial registration for new students entering spring semester. For former students returning to Northwestern, the $200 enrollment deposit is required prior to reenrollment. This deposit will be held for the duration of the student’s enrollment at Northwestern College, allowing him/her to register each semester. Upon official withdrawal or graduation, the $200 deposit will be credited to the student’s account and refunded if no balance is owed. See refund schedule.

Refund of Deposit New students who cancel their admission receive full refund of the enrollment deposit if the written notice of cancellation is received by the Admissions Office no later than May 1 for fall semester or prior to registration for spring semester.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

Continuing or re-enrolling students receive full refund of the enrollment deposit (except as noted above) when they cancel their registration through the Student Development Office no later than July 1 for fall semester or December 1 for spring semester.

Refund of Tuition and Fees If a student withdraws from a course after classes begin, a refund of the tuition is determined as of the withdrawal date. If a student withdraws from the college, the amount of the refund is determined as of the date a completed student termination notice is filed in the Student Development Office. Board and room payments are refunded in proportion to the time the student has been in residence.

FINANCING THE COST OF EDUCATION A student needing financial aid should begin the process of seeking assistance from all possible sources as early as possible. Financial aid comes in a variety of forms—scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs. Recipients of such assistance are selected on the basis of need, academic performance, or special qualifications. Since funds are limited, students should submit their financial aid applications within the first three months of the calendar year. This is also the best time to apply for outside scholarships. Students receiving financial aid must maintain satisfactory progress toward degree completion as defined in the Student Handbook. Ninety seven percent of the students at Northwestern receive some form of scholarship, grant, work or loan to help with their college costs.

Government Financial Aid Northwestern College students are eligible for student aid programs financed through federal and state governments. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid may be filed online at www.fafsa.edu.gov or on paper. Call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800433-3243 to obtain a paper copy.

Early completion of all application forms is encouraged in order to expedite notification of acceptance and processing of financial aid. Financial aid cannot be awarded until a student has been accepted for admission. Application for financial aid can be made after January 1 for the following fall semester. Financial aid packages are awarded beginning in March. (NOTE: THE AID PROGRAMS LISTED ARE EFFECTIVE FOR THE 2010-2011 ACADEMIC YEAR. THE PROGRAMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.)

2010–11 CATALOG FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The College is responsible to administer aid under federal and state regulations. Legislation may change provisions of financial aid programs from time to time, which can result in changes to student awards that are beyond the control of the College or the Financial Aid Office. The following aid programs are available: The Federal Pell Grant program provides grants (gifts) to eligible students. The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program provides grants (gifts) for students with exceptional financial need. The Federal Academic Competitive Grant (ACG) and National SMART Grant (SMART) ACGrant is awarded to Pell Grant recipients who have graduated in 2005 and beyond. First year award based on specific high school curriculum qualifiers. Second year based on same high school curriculum qualifiers and a college minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. SMART is awarded to Pell Grant recipients who are enrolled in mathematics or science programs at the college and who have a college minimum cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. Third- and fourth-year students are eligible to receive this funding—based on qualifiers of the program. The Federal and State College Work Study program provides oncampus jobs for students who demonstrate the need to earn part of their college expenses. The Federal Perkins Loan program provides low-cost loans combined with extended repayment periods to eligible students. Direct Lending (DL) The Federal Stafford Loan (DL) program provides college loans through the U.S. Department of Education. The Parent Loan to Undergraduate Students (PLUS/DL) program enables parents to borrow funds for their students through the U.S. Department of Education. For Minnesota Residents only: The Minnesota State Grant program provides grants (gifts) for eligible students. This must be applied for through the college financial aid application process. To receive the maximum amount of Minnesota grant, you MUST be registered for a minimum of 15 credits each semester (this does not include remedial courses [e.g., ENG0009, MAT0008, etc.]). If you take less than 15 credits in a term, you will receive a prorated award based on state guidelines, which in some cases could be a total loss of State Grant for the term. Please refer to the Northwestern College Financial Aid brochure for more specifics on Financial Aid.

Students Taking a Combination of Course Venues Northwestern College has four different venues of education: Traditional Undergraduate, Distance Education, FOCUS Degree Completion, and Center for Graduate Studies. In the event that a Traditional Undergraduate student takes a combination of courses from the different venues offered by Northwestern College, their financial aid will be recalculated based on credit load from each venue. Example: If a student has been awarded Traditional Undergraduate Institutional Assistance (grants and scholarships from the college), they may experience a reduction in that funding due to the number of credits taken in Distance Education and Traditional Undergraduate courses. Please check with the Financial Aid Office on the eligibility of aid based on the combination of courses.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION Northwestern College offers programs leading to master’s degrees, bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, and certificates. Students enrolled in FOCUS Degree Completion, Distance Education, or Center for Graduate Studies programs should refer to the academic information in the Graduate & Continuing Education Handbook, which supercedes the information in this section, where applicable. Semesters consist of 14.5 weeks of classes followed by a four-day final examination period. Further, each semester is divided into two half-semesters called “quads” (i.e., one-fourth of an academic year), during which most 2-credit courses are offered. Fall Semester is subdivided into Quad 1 (first half) and Quad 2 (second half), and Spring Semester into Quad 3 (first half) and Quad 4 (second half). Each quad has its own deadlines for registering, adding, and withdrawing and its own tuition refund schedule — all based on the number of working days in the session that have elapsed.

Academic Advising The close faculty-student relationship at Northwestern results in maximum opportunity for students to gain faculty counsel. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor in their major to assist in academic program planning and to provide vocational advice and counsel.

Adding a Course Students may add semester courses through the end of the second week of classes, except for co-curricular activities, directed studies, internships, missions experience, tutorials, and workshops which may be added by the same date Quad 2 and Quad 4 courses may be added. However, if co-curricular activities, directed studies,

internships, missions experience, tutorials, and workshops are the student's only courses for the term, then they must register by the end of the first week of classes. Students must register for Quad 1 and Quad 3 courses by the end of the third calendar day of the semester. However, students may add a Quad 1 or Quad 3 course through the end of the sixth calendar day of the semester if they obtain the signatures of their advisor and the instructor of the course. Students must add Quad 2 and Quad 4 courses by the end of the third calendar day of Quad 2 and Quad 4 respectively. However, students may add a Quad 2 or Quad 4 course through the end of the sixth calendar day of Quad 2 or Quad 4 if they obtain the signatures of their advisor and the instructor of the course. Students desiring to add courses of less than a half-semester in length are permitted to do so for a proportional length of time.

Auditing a Course A student may audit a course on a space-available basis by completing an audit form in the Registrar’s Office. Auditing is not permitted in physical education activity courses, music performance courses, or other courses so indicated in the course schedule at the discretion of

2010–11 CATALOG ACADEMIC INFORMATION

the professor and with approval of the department chair. An audited course is not counted as part of the student’s academic load. For part-time students, tuition for audited courses is 20% of the fee required for credit courses. Full-time students for whom the sum of regular and audit credits is more than 18 are charged 20% of the usual overload fee on those credits in excess of 18. A student auditing a course is not required to complete written assignments or take examinations. Extent and type of participation in the class is at the discretion of the professor. At the end of the semester, a grade of “AU” is entered on the student’s transcript.

Classification of Students A student’s class standing is determined according to the following scale of credits completed: Freshman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0–29 credits Sophomore . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30–59 credits Junior. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60–89 credits Senior . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90+ credits According to policy, class standing for incoming transfer students is based on the number of “transferable” credits accumulated; i.e., total credits in degree-counting courses completed for credit and with grades of “C-” or higher at all colleges and universities previously attended. Transferable credits are the basis for administering the proportional core curriculum requirement.

Transfer of College Credit to Northwestern Course work earned at other post-secondary institutions may be accepted by Northwestern College subject to review and approval by the Registrar. Course work with grades of “C-” or higher may be transferable to Northwestern and applied to a Northwestern academic program to the extent that they fit degree or certificate requirements. (Note: Only the credits, not the grades, of transferable courses may be applicable.) The previously attended institutions must be approved by regional, national, or professional accrediting associations or have a Credit Transfer Agreement with the College.

First semester freshmen who are Eagle Scholars may register for an overload of up to a total of 20 credits for spring semester of their freshman year before their grade point average has been recorded from their first semester at Northwestern. Students may petition the Academic Policies Exceptions Committee for approval of exceptions to the course overload rules.

Final Examinations

TAKING FINAL EXAMINATIONS DURING THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PERIOD IS CONSIDERED TO BE PART OF THE ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITY ASSUMED BY THE STUDENT. (SEE PAGE 2 FOR DATES OF FINAL EXAMINATIONS AND STUDY DAYS.)

If a student has three final examinations scheduled for one day or two finals scheduled at the same time, one of them may be rescheduled within the regular examination week. In case of verified medical emergency, death in the family, or participation in an approved College-sponsored event, a student will be allowed to reschedule final examinations within the regular examination week. After verifying the professor has been consulted by the student, the Registrar will reschedule the exam at an approved time through the ALPHA Testing Center. If this is not possible, the student may be permitted to take an incomplete grade and make up the examination during the first two weeks of the following semester. An unexcused absence from any final examination results in failure on that exam. A student with exceptional circumstances may submit a petition (Final Examination Deferment form) to the Academic Policies Exceptions Committee to take the final examination at another time. In such a case, the student receives a failure (or zero) for the final examination. If the petition is approved, the student is allowed to complete the exam or alternative assessment during the first two weeks of the next semester. If the petition is denied, the student’s failure to take the final at the scheduled time would be considered an unexcused absence. Spring semester final examinations approved for deferment are allowed to be made up during the first two weeks of fall semester. Special arrangements must be made with the instructor if the student desires to take the exam during the summer.

Undergraduate Graduation Honors Honors recognition is based on cumulative grade point average and Northwestern College credits earned.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS ARE DESCRIBED ON PAGE 28.

Course Load/Overload The normal academic load is 15–16 credits per semester. The minimum full-time academic load is 12 credits per semester. Courses meet for approximately 700 minutes per credit. For each hour spent in the classroom, the student should expect to spend two hours in study and preparation of course assignments. This means that a student taking 15 credits will have approximately a 45-hour study week, including class hours. Registration for more than 18 credits per semester constitutes a course overload. A cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher is necessary to carry 19 credits, 3.25 to carry 20 credits, and 3.50 to carry 21 or more credits. For new transfers, the combined GPA in all previous course work is the basis for approval or disapproval. New freshmen are not permitted to take an overload during their first semester of enrollment.

Final graduation honors listed on the diploma and the transcript depend on the cumulative GPA at the time of degree completion. This includes course work taken in all academic programs of the College.

Graduation Requirements Graduate studies program students should refer to the Graduate & Continuing Education Student Handbook for graduation requirements and policies.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

An undergraduate student seeking a degree or certificate at Northwestern College is responsible for adhering to the following policies: 1. Students must meet the graduation requirements of the Catalog under which they first enroll. These requirements will be in effect for a period of seven academic years beginning with the term of initial enrollment, whether or not enrollment is continuous. 2. Students who change their major(s) must meet all requirements for the new major(s) as described in the most recently published catalog at the time the Academic Program Change form or the Application for Readmission is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students in this situation have the choice of meeting the core curriculum requirements according to the Catalog in effect at the time of the major change or according to their original Catalog. 3. Northwestern College reserves the right to change the curriculum if mandated by an outside agency such as the Minnesota Board of Teaching. 4. The cumulative grade point average must be at least 2.00 for all course work taken in all Northwestern College academic programs. 5. Academic programs must meet the following minimum credit requirements: bachelor’s degrees, 125 credits; associate degrees, 60 credits; Bible certificate, 30 credits. The exact number of credits needed for degree completion is specified in the description of each academic program. A chart summarizing credit requirements appears on page 44. 6. Transfer students enrolled in bachelor’s or associate degree programs must earn the final 30 credits from Northwestern. For a Certificate in Bible, the final 15 credits must be earned from Northwestern. 7. A minimum of 50% of major and minor course work must be completed from Northwestern. 8. For all bachelor’s degree programs, 40 credits must be in 3000- or 4000-level courses. A 1000- or 2000- level transfer course which has departmental approval to meet an upper-level requirement at Northwestern may be counted toward the 40-credit upper-level requirement. 9. Students may participate in the May commencement ceremony only if all degree requirements are met or if it can be demonstrated that remaining credits have been registered for and may be completed no later than the beginning of the fall semester following Commencement. 10. Students may participate in the December commencement ceremony only if all degree requirements are met by the end of fall semester. 11. The Registrar is authorized to make decisions on a studentby-student basis in consultation with appropriate faculty members and administrators. This includes situations in which students with exceptional circumstances request permission to take a small number of degree-completing course credits at another institution. 12. In order for degrees or certificates to be awarded, students must have submitted an application for graduation and have successfully completed all degree or certificate requirements.

Directed Studies Directed study courses are designed to provide additional study opportunities related to the major. Depending upon the level of work needed (e.g. sophomore, junior, etc.), most course numbers for directed studies are 1815, 2815, etc., and 1090, 2090, etc. Course numbers are preceded by the appropriate subject prefix (e.g. ART4815).

A maximum of eight credits in directed study can be applied to major requirements; a maximum of four credits can be applied to Bible requirements (within the core curriculum), to a minor, or as electives; and a maximum of one credit per area can be applied to the remaining core curriculum areas. To be eligible for a directed study, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher. The student is to prepare a proposal outlining the project, including objectives, mode of operation, resources required, and plan for reporting data. The proposal must be approved by the department chairperson with jurisdiction over the course before the student can register for the directed study. Proposal for Directed Study forms are available in the Registrar’s Office.

Topics Courses Topics courses are supplementary or elective courses designed to meet specific needs and interests of students. Depending upon the level of work (e.g. sophomore, junior, etc.), most course numbers for directed studies are 1805, 2805, 3805, or 4805 for 1–4 credits. Course numbers are preceded by the appropriate subject prefix (e.g. ART4805).

Academic Internships Northwestern College has a commitment to incorporating experiential education into its curriculum. Most majors offer an academic internship either as a requirement or as an elective. An academic internship is an opportunity for a student to earn college credit during a structured out-of-classroom “real world” experience. Access to this different “laboratory” helps a student develop work competencies while exploring a profession. As a result of these applied experiences, students generally develop a positive and self confident attitude prior to entering their profession. In addition, many students seeking an internship develop and practice job search skills. The student must be of junior or senior standing and meet the written departmental requirements such as minimum GPA, course pre-requisites, and faculty supervisor approval. The student must complete a Liability Release Agreement prior to the beginning of the internship. Refer to the Academic Internship Student Handbook for additional details. Senior-level internship credits required for a Northwestern College major may not be transferred from another institution unless written prior approval is obtained from the appropriate department chair to allow such a transfer. Tuition charges and eligibility for financial aid will follow established college policy. The College reserves the right to remove any student from an internship at any time. Appeals will follow established college policy for academic or disciplinary probation. Tuition refunds will follow established college policy.

Registration for Courses Continuing and returning/re-enrolling students must complete initial class registration by the end of the first week of the semester. New students must complete initial class registration by no later than the day before orientation for fall semester and the day of orientation for spring semester. Adding of or changing sections of a semester long course is scheduled by the Registrar. Selecting courses and planning a schedule are the student’s responsibility. The student should consult the Catalog or curriculum chart for academic program requirements. The faculty advisor aids the student with program planning, gives counsel on academic or personal problems, gives clearance, and signs any documents related to course participation. Adding of or changing sections of a semester long course must be completed by the end of the first week of classes (by the end of

2010–11 CATALOG ACADEMIC INFORMATION

the second week of classes if the student obtains the signatures of their advisor and the instructor of the class); for Quad 1 and Quad 3 courses, by the end of the third calendar day of the semester (by the end of the sixth calendar day of the semester if they obtain the signatures of their advisor and the instructor of the course); for Quad 2 and Quad 4 courses, by the end of the third calendar day of Quad 2 and Quad 4 respectively (by the end of the sixth calendar day of Quad 2 or Quad 4 if they obtain the signatures of their advisor and the instructor of the course); for courses of less than a halfsemester in length, within a proportional length of time; for summer terms, within the first 7% of the session except for extended summer session which must be completed by the end of the fifth week of the summer session. Students who register during advance registration periods are scheduled registration times according to the following order: 1. Seniors or final-year associate degree students. 2. Juniors 3. Sophomores 4. Freshmen Within each of these four groups, an alphabetical sequence is followed, with the starting point rotated from semester to semester. Further details regarding registration procedures are provided by the Registrar's Office.

Tutorials “Tutorial” is a term used to describe the way in which a student may independently take a course that is already part of the curriculum; i.e., an existing course is taught to one student. On the proposal form, the student must provide written justification for taking the course independently, and the faculty supervisor must document course objectives, required assignments, and means of evaluation. The proposal must demonstrate that the tutorial will have a level of rigor comparable to the regular course. The supervising faculty member, department chair, and Senior Academic Dean. must approve the request before the student is permitted to register for the course.

Verification of Student Status Students needing to verify their status as a Northwestern student to off-campus parties or establishments may do so by showing their student identification card and a currently-receipted invoice. The Registrar’s Office will provide written verification of student status (dates of attendance, graduation, academic achievement, etc.) upon written request of the student. Such verification is often needed for student loan purposes or for obtaining “good student” auto insurance discounts.

Withdrawal from a Course Transcript Services The Registrar’s Office offers the ordering of transcripts 24/7 (with processing during business hours). In partnership with SCRIPSAFE® International, Northwestern College is able to provide official transcripts delivered both electronically as well as through regular and overnight mail. (Note: The requestor’s Northwestern student account must be paid in full before the transcript will be released.) Current/Recent students can order transcripts at no cost if they have

Withdrawal from a course is permitted through the end of the tenth week of classes for semester-long courses, the 25th day of the session for half-semester courses, and within the first 70% of other abbreviated or summer courses. Withdrawals are not complete until the Schedule Change form is received in the Registrar’s Office. It is the student’s responsibility to be certain this is done in order to avoid continued registration and a subsequent failing grade in the class.

Printed copies of the report are also available through the Northwestern College Admissions and Public Safety offices.

DISCLAIMER

For part-time students, progression from probation to suspension is determined in proportion to the student’s academic load.

Northwestern College reserves the right to change, without notice, any statement concerning, but not limited to, rules, policies, tuition, fees, faculty, curriculum, and courses.

Academic Warning

PRIVACY ACT

Students who are in good academic standing but whose semester grade point average (GPA) is below 2.0 will be placed on academic warning for the following semester. (NOTE: FOR INFORMATION ABOUT CUMULATIVE GPA REQUIREMENTS TO REMAIN IN GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING, SEE CHART ON PAGE 31.)

A STUDENT, WHILE ON ACADEMIC WARNING, IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. attend a strategizing meeting with the ALPHA Center Director, 2. take STS0009 Study Strategies course, 3. make contact with their advisor to determine any grade requirements for their major coursework. A student on academic warning must ensure their cumulative GPA remains in good academic standing to avoid being placed on academic probation.

Assessment of Student Learning As required by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (www.ncahigherlearningcommission.org, 312-263-0456), Northwestern College has developed an assessment plan for documenting student academic achievement. One of the primary elements in the assessment plan is the conducting of research on student learning and personal development. Students are encouraged to participate fully in such projects whenever invited to do so. The results of these assessments will enable the College to measure its effectiveness,

Northwestern College conforms to the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended. Detailed information about FERPA and Northwestern College can be found on theROCK (student portal). FERPA sets out requirements for the protection of student privacy. It deals specifically with the education records of students, affording them certain rights with respect to those records. Students are annually notified of their detailed rights under FERPA in student handbooks and/or other means. FERPA does not apply to records of applicants for admission who are denied acceptance or, if accepted, do not attend an institution. Also, rights are not given by FERPA to students enrolled in one component of an institution who seek to be admitted in another component of an institution. In keeping with the requirements of FERPA, Northwestern College hereby designates the following items as Directory Information. The College may disclose any of these items for any purpose at its discretion without prior written consent, unless notified in writing to the contrary by the student. Directory Information includes the student's: name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, photograph, date and place of birth, major field of study, class schedule, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status (e.g., undergraduate, full-time or part-time, etc.), participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, degrees, honors and awards received, and the most recent previous educational institution attended. Currently enrolled students may withhold disclosure of information under the provisions of FERPA. To withhold disclosure, written notification must be received in the Student Development Office prior to the end of the first week of the semester or summer session.

2010–11 CATALOG ACADEMIC STANDARDS

Students may obtain a "Student Request to Restrict Information" form from the Student Development Office. Submitting this form will make the directory information confidential until the student requests in writing to the Student Development Office to lift the restriction. As with all confidential student records, Northwestern College will release information to designated parties only with the express written consent of the student or as otherwise required by law. Failure of the student to specifically request the withholding of directory information indicates approval of disclosure.

As required by Section 207 of Title II, Northwestern College submitted an institutional report in March 2010, including pass rates of 2008–2009 teacher education graduates on standardized basic skills assessments and other program characteristics. This information becomes part of a statewide report that ranks all teacher preparation programs in Minnesota according to their graduates' examination scores. In turn, the U.S. Department of Education compiles a national report and issues a "report card" on the quality of teacher preparation in each state.

Each student should give careful consideration to the consequences of any decision to withhold directory information. Should the student decide to do this, all future requests for directory information, however legitimate, will be refused. This includes family, friends, prospective employers, credit agencies, and others to whom the student may want this information known. Northwestern College cannot assume the responsibility to contact the student for subsequent permission to release directory information. Regardless of the effect upon the student, the College assumes no liability for honoring an instruction to withhold directory information.

Title II also requires institutions to disclose summaries of their annual reports to the general public. The following four statements describe the key elements of Northwestern College's March 2010 report:

FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING FERPA MAY BE FOUND AT NWC.EDU/FERPA AND ON THE ACADEMICS TAB OF THEROCK. .

RETENTION & GRADUATION RATES In compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990, Northwestern College is engaged in an ongoing study of retention and graduation rates. For the last five years, the percentages of new freshmen still enrolled at the start of the next academic year have been as follows: YEAR OF FRESHMAN CLASS AND THE PERCENT STILL ENROLLED AT START OF NEXT ACADEMIC YEAR: 2005 – 81% 2004 – 79%

2006 – 83% 2007 – 79%

2008 – 79%

The most recent Student-Right-to-Know graduation rate is 62%. This represents the percentage of students in the Fall 2003 freshman cohort (full-time, first-time, degree-seeking) who completed bachelor’s degrees within 6 years, associate degrees within 3 years, or certificates within 1.5 years.

SOLOMON AMENDMENT Northwestern College must comply with the Solomon Amendment and therefore supplies the following student data upon request from the Department of Defense, military services, and other related federal agencies for the purpose of recruitment and manpower fulfillment: Student's name, address, telephone number, age (or year of birth), level of education (e.g., freshman, sophomore, or degree awarded for a recent graduate), and major. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT THE REGISTRAR.

TITLE II In October 1998, the United States Congress voiced its concern for the quality of teacher preparation by enacting Title II of the Higher Education Act. Title II authorized federal grant programs that support the efforts of states, institutions of higher education, and their schooldistrict partners to improve the recruitment, preparation, and support of new teachers. Title II legislation also included accountability measures in the form of reporting requirements for institutions and states on teacher preparation and licensing.

1. During the period July 2008–June 2009, 66 Northwestern College students completed requirements for initial Minnesota teacher licensure. All of them had results of up-to-date PRAXIS tests on record with Educational Testing Service (ETS). ETS certified institutional pass rates for the following tests: basic skills, 100%; professional knowledge, 100%; academic content areas, 100%. One hundred percent passed all three of the required PRAXIS components. 2. During academic year 2008–2009, 217 students with formal admission to the teacher education program were enrolled at Northwestern College. 3. In 2008–2009, 65 students were registered for student teaching courses supervised by 27 faculty members, making a studentfaculty ratio of 2.4 to 1. 4. Students in supervised student teaching are required to devote forty hours per week for 14–15 weeks to this activity, making a total of 560–600 hours of participation.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE Credits with grades of “A” through “F” contribute to total grade points and are called “quality credits.” The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is the result of dividing total grade points by total quality credits for all courses taken in Northwestern College academic programs.

When a student withdraws from a course after the third week of a semester or Day 8 of a half-semester, that fact will be indicated on the transcript. If the withdrawal is completed by the end of the tenth week of a semester or Day 25 of a half-semester, the notation will be a “W”. After that point, the grade earned will be entered on the transcript. (See chart on page 29.)

“I” GRADE An “I” is given only if the instructor is satisfied that there is a valid excuse, such as prolonged illness. Incompletes are given only by pre-arrangement with the instructor and must be removed within ten calendar weeks from the last day of final exams for the semester or the last day of summer session. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade being entered on the transcript.

“P/NC” & “S/U” GRADES One-credit co-curricular courses (except music ensembles taken by music majors and minors), missions experiences courses, and other courses approved by the Academic Policies and Curriculum Committee are graded on a Pass/No Credit basis. A grade of “P” permits credit without influencing GPA calculations; a grade of “NC” disallows credit but does not affect grade point average. In courses which are required but carry no credit, the grading system is “S” (Satisfactory) or “U” (Unsatisfactory). For the purpose of transfer, a "P" grade is equivalent to a “C-” or better and an "NC" grade is equivalent to an "F."

REPEATING A COURSE A student who receives a grade of “F” in any course is strongly advised to repeat that course as soon as possible. Students on probation will find that this is the most effective way of raising their cumulative grade point averages. The grade earned for the most recent enrollment will be used in calculating the cumulative GPA. While all previously earned grades remain on the academic record, they are not counted in GPA calculations.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS Council for Christian Colleges & Universities Northwestern College is a member of the CCCU, which provides a diverse array of off-campus study programs that are available to qualified juniors and seniors. The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU), an association of 105 campuses in the U.S. and Canada, offers semester and summer programs to students of its member institutions. The programs offer a unique opportunity for students to make the world their classroom, going beyond the confines of the traditional classroom. These interdisciplinary learning opportunities are available to second-semester sophomores, juniors and seniors. Off-campus opportunities sponsored by the Council include:

Eight semester-long culture-crossing programs overseas are sponsored by the Council and are open to Northwestern students: • Australia Studies Centre (ASC) • China Studies Program (CSP) • Latin American Studies Program (LAS) in Costa Rica • Middle East Studies Program (MES) in Egypt • Oxford Summer Programme (OSP) • Russian Studies Program (RSP) • Scholars’ Semester in Oxford (SSO) • Uganda Studies Program (USP) SEE PAGES 162–169 FOR COURSE INFORMATION AND PAGES 60–61 FOR THE INTERCULTURAL STUDIES MINOR AND PAGE 102 FOR THE INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MINOR.

2010–11 CATALOG SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Four semester-long culture-shaping programs in the United States are sponsored by the Council and are open to Northwestern students: • American Studies Program in Washington, D.C. • Contemporary Music Center at Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, Massachusetts • Los Angeles Film Studies Center • Washington Journalism Center in Washington,D.C. SEE PAGES 162–169 FOR COURSE INFORMATION. SEE BESTSEMESTER.COM FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

Distance Education Distance Education (DE) is a course format that allows people to take Northwestern courses online. Students order textbooks, consistent with traditional undergraduate course practices. Other resources needed to complete the course, including audio and video presentations, are online. Some assignments are handled on correspondence. Distance education courses are developed by Northwestern faculty, and each online course provides interaction between students and professors. Unless otherwise noted, distance education courses follow the traditional undergraduate College calendar (page 2). Current offerings include courses that meet traditional undergraduate core curriculum (see pages 37–41), as well as courses that lead toward a certificate (Associate of Arts in Bible) or degree (Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies). In addition, students who already have approximately two years of college credits can complete a Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies degree. This modular program is designed to prepare students for missions or for other ministry work that involves cross-cultural contact. The eight modules in this degree completion program can be completed in as little as two years. Two programs are available for public-, private-, and home-schooled high school juniors and seniors. The Early College program allows students to take core curriculum college courses at a reduced cost. These courses may also be applied to the student’s high school diploma, if the high school allows. The Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program also provides most core curriculum courses. Since PSEO is funded by the state of Minnesota, tuition and most materials costs in this program are free for Minnesota residents. Since new course offerings are being added each year, students should contact the Graduate & Continuing Education (GCE) office for the most up-to-date listing of courses and programs available. While anyone with a high school diploma or its equivalent may take individual courses, those desiring to apply DE courses toward a degree program at Northwestern College must be admitted to the College according to regular admission criteria. Taking and passing distance education courses without being admitted to Northwestern College does not imply admissibility to the institution or eligibility to complete a certificate or degree program and does not grant eligibility to participate in co-curricular activities (e.g., collegiate level music, drama, or athletics. See pages 16–17.). Contact Northwestern’s GCE office at 888-362-7815, gce@nwc.edu, or find more information online at distance.nwc.edu.

Au Sable Institute (ASI) Au Sable Institute is an institution designed to promote Christian environmental stewardship through college courses, certification programs, internships, workshops, and conferences. Students may be eligible for courses, fellowships, and grants. Supported by the natural settings of the Great Lakes Forest of northern Michigan, participants

take courses, engage in scholarship, gain field experience, confer, and develop practical tools for environmental stewardship in programs that take seriously both science and theology. (See ASI program course listings on page 162–163.)

Christian Center for Communications NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE The Northwestern College Christian Center for Communications (CCC), located in Quito, Ecuador, is a branch campus of Northwestern. Operated in partnership with HCJB World Radio, the CCC is a threeyear college program that trains students from all over the world in the field of Christian communication—radio, TV, and journalism. The CCC students earn an Associate in Applied Science and Bible degree with a specialization in electronic media communication from Northwestern College. The language of instruction is Spanish. As the branch campus continues to develop, faculty and student exchanges between the Quito campus and St. Paul campus are becoming part of the program offerings.

EduVenture (EVI) EduVenture gives opportunity for an academically challenging semester, along with experience in building strong cross-cultural skills, developing a better understanding of the believer’s role in God’s creation, and practicing personal, social, and spiritual disciplines. EduVenture’s mission is to express Christian compassion among the people of other countries, by meeting as many physical, spiritual, and emotional needs as possible. (See EVI program course listings on page 165.)

Focus Leadership Institute (FLI) The Focus Leadership Institute exists to provide a unique Christian educational community which nurtures passionate and persuasive leaders who are committed to Jesus Christ, equipping them to promote healthy families, vibrant churches, and a civil society. Focus on the Family commissioned the Institute to partner with colleges and universities, such as Northwestern College, in the development of the highest quality education program about the family and society from a Christian worldview perspective. With this charge, the Institute is committed to teaching and research programs which defend and support the family from a distinctively Christian base with modern cultural relevancy and practical application. The Institute provides a one-semester, personalized undergraduate studies program which crosses academic and professional disciplines. The 15-semester-credit curriculum addresses issues facing today’s families and is tailored to the student’s interests and academic, professional, and life goals. Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on the campus of Focus on the Family, the Institute offers the student unique opportunities to interact with various national and international religious, educational, political, and pro-family leaders and experts. Northwestern College has an institutional participation agreement with the Focus Leadership Institute. (See FLI program course listings on page 165.)

Students in majors offered as Bachelor of Science programs may choose to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree if they meet the foreign language requirement. However, students in majors offered only as Bachelor of Arts programs may not elect to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree. Students may seek a second baccalaureate degree but it must be a different degree from the first (e.g., Bachelor of Arts versus Bachelor of Science). Additionally, the student must complete a minimum of 30 credits beyond the initial degree in a different major. At least 155 credits are required for graduation with a double degree. All prerequisites, supporting courses, and departmental requirements for each major must be completed. The student should confer with the departments in which the majors are sought and with the Registrar. On the issue of double major, see page 42.

PROPORTIONAL CORE CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS Transfer students who first enroll at Northwestern as sophomores, juniors, or seniors are to fulfill the core curriculum requirement on a proportional basis. For purposes of administering the core curriculum requirement, class standing of transfer students is based on the total of “transferable” credits from all colleges and universities previously attended (see definition on page 26) and credits awarded by Northwestern College on the basis of examinations taken before matriculation. The following combinations of courses meet the core curriculum requirement proportionally for transfer students seeking a bachelor’s degree.

BOTH DESIGNATIONS MAY APPLY TO THE SAME COURSE.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

ACADEMIC MAJOR Students pursuing baccalaureate degree programs must declare a primary academic major (see pages 44 and 46) and satisfy the appropriate core curriculum requirements (see pages 37–41). At least 50% of the credits for a major must be completed from Northwestern College.

Double Major A student may graduate with two academic majors under the following conditions:

Students for whom English is a second language will meet the B.A. foreign language requirement by achieving a minimum grade of “C-” in required English courses and SPE1075 or SPE1825. SPECIFIC PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS ARE GIVEN ON PAGES 48–114.

1. There must be a minimum of 20 credits unique to each major; 2. All prerequisites, supporting courses, and departmental requirements for each major must be completed.

Minor and/or Electives Development of a minor (20–26 credits) allows the student to pursue concentrated study in an area of special interest. The number of credits of core curriculum course work applied to the minor is not restricted. A minimum of 50% of the credits in a minor must be unique to that minor when compared to a student's major(s) or other minor(s). For exceptions, see the Registrar. A minimum of 50% of the course work in a minor must be completed from Northwestern College. Students who add or change a minor(s) must meet all requirements for the new minor(s) as described in the most recently published catalog at the time the Academic Program Change form or the Application for Readmission is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Electives are chosen by the student from any course area. A maximum of eight elective credits taken in one-credit courses may be applied toward graduation requirements.

Foreign Language The Bachelor of Arts degree requires foreign language competency through the second semester of college credit (1002-level in modern foreign languages, 2002-level in Greek, and 30X2-level in other ancient and classical languages). Competency may be achieved by completion of language courses from Northwestern, by transfer of equivalent credits from another college, by means of standardized examinations (AP, IB, CLEP, DANTES), or by way of high school language study. Northwestern offers beginning-level courses in Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and Spanish. A major in Spanish and minors in Spanish and Ancient and Classical Languages are offered. Transfer credit may be in the above languages or in other recognized foreign languages. In this regard, American Sign Language is considered as an approved foreign language. Completion of three years of one foreign language during high school establishes 1002-level foreign language proficiency, subject to minimum grade standards. If competency is demonstrated by high school language study, credits are not awarded, but the student is allowed an equal number of additional elective credits.

Competencies Competencies may be demonstrated in the following areas of the core curriculum. If competencies are successfully established, students must substitute free electives for these credits as needed to reach 125 graduation credits. For BIB1001 and BIB1002, demonstrating competency results in credit for the course. • COURSE OR AREA OF STUDY Competency Standard • FOREIGN LANGUAGE Completion of three years of one foreign language during high school, subject to minimum grade standards (i.e., B- average or above), or department exam. • BIB1001 OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY & LITERATURE Score of 71% or above on departmental examination, resulting in credit for the course • BIB1002 NEW TESTAMENT HISTORY & LITERATURE Score of 71% or above on departmental examination, resulting in credit for the course.

English & Reading Placement RDG0009 College Reading Strategies is required of new students with ACT Reading scores of 16 or below (or SAT Verbal score of 420 or below). New freshmen and transfers are to register for English composition courses according to the following guidelines:

Department of

BIBLICAL & THEOLOGICAL STUDIES Northwestern College puts the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word at the center of all activities. The Scriptures are the integrating core for all academic programs. This commitment means that (1) the Bible is the most urgent concern of persons who study and work at the College, (2) the Bible provides answers to some of humanity’s basic questions and establishes a theological frame of reference for education at the College, and (3) the Bible defines principles and standards for determining the purpose for which all learning is to be used. Therefore, the purpose of the Department of Biblical & Theological Studies is to promote the central place of the Scriptures as the theological frame of reference for the curriculum. The department seeks to teach students the Bible as “the whole counsel of God,“ focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, and to train them to interpret and apply biblical content; to help students develop a life submitted to Christ and ordered by biblical ethics so that they can be steadfast spiritually in the midst of life’s incongruities and trials; to equip students to develop a biblical worldview; to expose students to ministry in the church and to the world; and to enhance a climate of love and respect for one another in the learning environment. Zondervan/Northwestern College Ancient Languages Awards With the intent of inspiring students in their studies, Zondervan Publishing House initiated annual award programs to recognize outstanding achievement in the study of biblical Greek and biblical Hebrew. Northwestern College has entered into a participation agreement with Zondervan, according to which the Biblical & Theological Studies Department establishes selection criteria and the College presents these awards at the yearly Honors Convocation. The winners receive the prize of a Zondervan product (such as the Exhaustive Greek Concordance), a commemorative item (such as a medal), and the recognition of having his/her name engraved on a perpetual plaque displayed in the Berntsen Library.

EDUCATION Teacher Education Programs The Northwestern Department of Education seeks to prepare professional educators for service within public or private schools who will engage the individuals and communities they serve through student centered and culturally competent practices that are grounded in a biblical worldview and effective professional preparation; guided by commitments to servant leadership, reflective inquiry, and an appreciation for diversity; and motivated by an awareness of teaching as an inspired calling. Programs are structured to support the development of candidates • who are educated in the liberal arts; • who are well prepared in the subject matter they will teach; • who are exemplary practitioners, applying a deep understanding of effective teaching and learning to serve the needs of all learners; • who engage in culturally competent practices; • who build effective partnerships with families; • who collaborate effectively to support learning within both the school community and the broader professional community; • who engage in reflective inquiry to support their continual development as professionals; • who apply a biblical worldview to their professional decision making; and • who model servant leadership within their professional contexts. A wide range of P–12 school partnerships enable teacher candidates to have extensive interaction with current practitioners in the field while also receiving mentoring from Northwestern faculty.

2010–11 CATALOG EDUCATION

If the appropriate GPA is not maintained, consideration may be given by the Department of Education to dismiss the student from the teacher Education Program or to counsel the student into another program area. A student receiving less than the minimum grade a second time in a course which the Education Department or major specifies as requiring a minimum grade, will result in automatic termination of enrollment in a teacher education program. Minimum grade requirements are listed in the Education section of the College Catalog.

Educational Studies Major A degree program in educational studies is available upon recommendation by the Department of Education. The major does not lead to teacher licensure in the state of Minnesota. Students interested in this major should consult with their academic advisor or the Chairperson of the Department of Education. This program is not open to students with pre-professional program standing.

Admission to Student Teaching

If a student receives a negative evaluation from a field experience, that experience must be repeated successfully before student teaching. A field experience may be repeated only once.

All students who have been admitted to the teacher education program and who wish to complete student teaching must be formally admitted to student teaching in their major.

The Admission and Retention Committee will make the final decision in dismissal cases. All dismissal cases may be appealed.

This is accomplished by completing the following procedures:

FOR FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING ADMISSION AND RETENTION IN TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS, SEE THE NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE TEACHER EDUCATION HANDBOOK.

Teacher Licensure Students who successfully complete teacher education programs at Northwestern College and who meet Minnesota teacher licensure requirements are eligible to apply to the Minnesota Board of Teaching for licensure in their program areas. Students should follow the licensure application process outlined in the Teacher Education Handbook. Copies of the handbook are available in the Department of Education office. All first-time licensure candidates are required to pay a fee and have a criminal background check completed as part of the licensure application process. Licensure candidates must meet the licensure requirements that are current at the time of program completion. These requirements take precedence over all earlier curriculum requirements. Students are encouraged to work closely with an academic advisor in order to be aware of changes in licensure requirements that may affect their programs. Candidates applying for Minnesota teacher licensure are required by Minnesota teacher licensure laws to successfully complete standardized tests as part of the licensure system. Beginning September 1, 2010, candidates will be required to complete the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Exams (MTLE) in basic skills, pedagogy and content knowledge. Information about these tests is available in the Teacher Education Handbook and in the Department of Education office.

Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Licensure Program Students who already have an earned bachelor’s degree and wish to complete the requirements for Minnesota teacher licensure may apply for the post-baccalaureate teacher licensure program. Candidates for the post-baccalaureate program must be admitted to Northwestern College and meet all requirements for Admission to Teacher Education programs. In addition, they must have earned a bachelor’s degree from a four-year, regionally accredited institution with a GPA of at least 2.75 on a 4.00 scale. The bachelor’s degree major must be applicable to the area of licensure, as determined by the Department of Education. Candidates interested in the post-baccalaureate teacher licensure program should contact the Admissions Office. No degree is granted for post-baccalaurate teacher education course work completed at Northwestern.

A. The student determines with his/her advisor the projected year and semester of student teaching, based on successful completion of EDU3216 Instructional Foundations (Grades K–12) or EDU3246 Instructional Foundations (Grades PK–8) and all methods courses, and reports this to the Director of Student Teaching. EDU3216 or EDU3246 must be taken before methods courses. B. The student attends an orientation meeting with the Director of Student Teaching during the fall semester of the school year preceding student teaching. C. The student completes the application material for student teaching and returns it to the Director of Student Teaching by the deadline set at the orientation meeting. Late applications may result in an appeal and a delay in the student teaching semester. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. The student must notify the Director of Student Teaching of any changes in the information. The following items comprise the application for student teaching. 1. Student Teaching Application 2. Student’s Personal Data Form 3. Employment and Activities Clearance 4. Health Clearance 5. Program Completion Plan 6. Professional Behavior Plan Clearance 7. Academic Progress Plan Clearance D. The student must meet with the Admission and Retention Committee during the semester preceding student teaching. This meeting is called and led by the Coordinator of the major in which the student is seeking licensure. During this meeting, the committee will review the student’s application for student teaching and provide a recommendation regarding admission to student teaching. In order to receive final clearance by the Admission and Retention Committee to student teach, the student MUST satisfy the following requirements: 1. Obtain “Human Relations Clearance” from the Director of Human Relations. Clearance is obtained after all Human Relations components have been successfully completed. Student should complete the requirement prior to the senior year, whenever possible. 2. Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 in all Northwestern College course work at the end of the semester preceding student teaching.

EDUCATION NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

3. Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 within the major and pass all major and minor field courses with a grade of “C” or above. 4. Remove all course incompletes and any grades below “C” in the education core or grades below departmental standards within the major or minor. Courses requiring minimum grades before student teaching are listed below. 5. Successfully complete all course work in the education major or minor, including field placements. 6. Successfully complete all Professional Behavior Plans. Obtain clearance from the Department of Education office. 7. Successfully complete all Academic Progress Plans. Obtain clearance from the Department of Education office. Students currently enrolled in their last methods courses may meet with the Admission and Retention Committee. However, final approval for student teaching is contingent upon satisfactory completion of all education core and methods courses. E. Placement confirmation information will be sent from the Director of Student Teaching to the student. Although this information may be received prior to meeting with the Admission and Retention Committee, final approval for student teaching will be granted only after the student’s meeting with the committee and demonstrating to them the completion of all requirements. Once admitted to student teaching, it is the student teacher’s responsibility to inform the Director of Student Teaching of any change or requests for change of status regarding the student teacher’s health, employment, and activities involvement Requests for change of status will be reviewed by the Admission and Retention Committee. F. The student teacher is required to register for EDU4835, Seminar in Professional Issues, the same semester as student teaching. Orientation sessions precede the placement start date. Due to liability issues, absences from any orientation session will result in the student being ineligible to student teach. In such cases, the student teaching experience will be rescheduled, usually the next semester.

Retention in Student Teaching Retention in student teaching is dependent upon satisfactory evaluations from the cooperating teacher and the NWC supervisor throughout the student teaching placement. Should academic or professional concerns regarding the student teacher’s performance arise, an intervention meeting with the Admission and Retention Committee will be scheduled by the coordinator of the major. Withdrawal from a student teaching placement for any reason results in termination of all future student teaching placements and will require the candidate to reapply to the student teaching program. Additional student teaching may be required as recommended by the supervisor and supported by the final evaluation submitted by the cooperating teacher or the NWC supervisor. Tuition refund and transcript notation policies defined in the catalog for all Northwestern courses apply to withdrawal from student teaching.

Readmission to Student Teaching A student who wishes to be readmitted to student teaching after a withdrawal or termination from student teaching must reapply for admission to student teaching. Student teaching may be repeated only once, for a total of two attempts. All repeats of student teaching are subject to the approval of the Department of Education Admission and Retention Committee. Procedures for reapplying to student teaching may be found in the Teacher Education Handbook, which is available in the Department of Education Office.

Auditions: Ensembles and Private Lessons All music majors are required to participate in a major performance ensemble and to take private study in their primary performance area. Auditions are held during New Student Orientation which occurs the week before classes begin, and designated summer auditions. Sophomore Interview During the sophomore year, the Sophomore Interview is to be held before the music faculty. The Interview is to determine the student's progress in lower-level music courses and to formally grant status as a music major, thereby permitting access to 4XXX-level music courses. Please contact the Music Office for information and guidelines regarding the Sophomore Interview. Music Theory Placement Exam All entering music majors, both freshmen and transfer students, are required to take the Music Theory Placement Exam. The exam is designed to place students into the proper level of theory. Information is available from the Music Office. Grades All course work in the major, both music and education, must be passed with a grade of "C" or above.

2010–11 CATALOG ENGLISH & LITERATURE

Department of

ENGLISH & LITERATURE In the Department of English & Literature, we celebrate the power of words and their capacity to influence our lives and our world. Our desire is to ignite students’ love of words through the study of literature, writing, and linguistics and to honor Christ as the foundation for our teaching and learning. We encourage students to grow intellectually and spiritually by empowering them to discern significant ideas in their reading, to compose meaningful texts, to conduct scholarly and field research, and to understand and apply linguistic principles. As they synthesize their faith with their discipline, students are prepared to succeed as scholars, writers, teachers, and communicators and to enjoy a lifelong relationship with words.

English Major

Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science

The English major is divided into four concentrations: literature, writing, literature and writing, and linguistics.

Literature Concentration (B.A.) The literature concentration prepares students to pursue graduate work in English, as well as careers in fields such as the ministry, law, business, and teaching. In the literature concentration, students sharpen their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills as they analyze and write about American, British, classical, and multicultural literature.

PSYCHOLOGY “Great are the works of the Lord; they are studied by all who delight in them.” – Psalm 111:2 Psychology is the study of God’s greatest work—humankind. The discipline of psychology seeks to understand the nature of human development, motivation, thinking, learning, and emotion. An accurate picture of man must include the study of Scriptures; therefore, the study of psychology is made complete by integrating it with biblical principles. Furthermore, the study of psychology enables students to see themselves as persons of worth and significance. The study of psychology has practical value for Christian service. As we better understand people, we are more effective in our ability to minister to them.

Department of

SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS The department of Science and Mathematics offers degrees in biology, biochemistry, mathematics and a degree program in engineering in cooperation with the University of Minnesota. Science, mathematics, and technology exert more influence in our society than ever before. Advances of the past century have been truly astounding – consider manned flight in the atmosphere and outer space, the unraveling of the genetic code, the development of computers and their applications, and the fabrication and use of new materials, to name a very few. The sciences and mathematics, like all other academic disciplines at Northwestern College, are presented in the context of Biblical worldview, which

SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE

is integrated into every course. The Department strives to be in the vanguard of a truly inquiry-based, critical thinking approach to education in these academic disciplines with the Christian worldview integrated within the framework of a rigorous scientific and mathematical curriculum. NOTE: WHEN A STUDENT RECEIVES A “U” GRADE FOR THE LAB PORTION OF A SCIENCE COURSE, HE/SHE RECEIVES CREDIT FOR THE COURSE, BUT THE COURSE DOES NOT COUNT FOR LABORATORY SCIENCE CREDIT IN CORE CURRICULUM.

Biochemistry Major

Engineering Dual Degree Program COOPERATIVE PROGRAM WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Northwestern College has a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Technology at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. In this program a student typically completes a prescribed three-year course of study with either an applied mathematics or engineering sciences emphasis at Northwestern College, transfers to the Institute of Technology, and completes the requirements for an engineering degree there. Although this usually requires two years of full-time study at the University, some additional course work, such as summer school courses, may be required. Upon completion of the engineering degree requirements at the University, a student earns a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Minnesota and a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics or engineering sciences from Northwestern College. The emphasis that a student elects to pursue, either applied mathematics or engineering sciences, will depend on the student’s interests and the requirements for a particular engineering discipline. Students interested in the Dual Degree programs are strongly encouraged to meet with a Northwestern College engineering advisor for guidance. To enroll in any PHY or EGR course, students must receive a grade of “C” or better in all prerequisite courses. Courses with grades below “C” must be repeated.

Off-Campus Programs American Studies Program Since 1976, the American Studies Program has served as an experiential learning laboratory for students committed to connecting their faith to public affairs. More than 2000 students have come to Washington and nearly 500 alumni currently work in the D.C. metro area in a variety of professional fields—private and public, for-profit and non-profit. Each student enrolls in the program’s two practicum courses: Internship and Topics in Leadership & Vocation. Students have the option of enrolling in a one-credit Professional Mentorship course. In addition, students apply to either the Public Policy Initiatives track or the Global Humanitarian Enterprise track. The Public Policy Initiatives track equips and supports students in their analysis of a pressing public policy issue.

Australia Studies Centre Since Spring 2004, the CCCU has partnered with the Wesley Institute in Sydney, Australia to offer the Australia Studies Centre. Throughout the semester, students study theology, global justice issues affecting Australia, Indigenous cultures and the arts. Every student is required to take the courses “The View from Australia: Issues in Religion, Politics, Economics & Cultural Values” and “Indigenous History, Cultures & Identity. “Additionally, students choose electives in theology/ministry, music, drawing/ graphic design, dance and/or drama. Home stays, service learning and travel around Australia are important components of the ASC. Students observe Australia’s beautiful landscape, live in the cosmopolitan melting pot of Sydney, connect with the poor of Sydney’s multi-cultural ghettos, and engage the political capital Canberra and its power players. Students also come to know the traditions of Aboriginal people during an Outback excursion and spend the last week of each semester traveling to New Zealand to meet with Maori people. ASC students earn 16–18* semester hours of credit. See bestsemester.com for details. PQ: MINIMUM OF JUNIOR STANDING AND ACCEPTANCE INTO PROGRAM BY CCCU; SEE PAGES 32–33.

Additional Resources Service Project Each week, students volunteer with local community projects, church organizations, business enterprises, schools and orphanages in Nizhnii Novgorod. Students seeking additional credit for the service project component may arrange up to two additional credits with their home institution through an independent study project, by keeping a journal or doing a separate report based on their service project experience. This must be arranged and graded by the home campus.

Travel The RSP curriculum incorporates travel and visits to local sites as well as the cities of Moscow, Vladimir/Suzdal, St. Petersburg and the Republic of Kazan. The extraordinary landmarks, historical resources, churches, museums, art galleries and government institutions of Moscow and surrounding regions are the classroom for 10 days of the semester. Students also visit St. Petersburg, which because of its many rivers and canals is often called the “Venice of the north.” The city’s rich historical and cultural resources provide a venue for additional study of Russian society. Additional weekend trips are made to the ancient capital of Russia, Vladimir, and the predominantly Muslim republic of Kazan to study more of the history of religion in Russian society.
