Welcome to Wartburg College! Here at Wartburg College, we cheerfully accept the responsibility summed up in our mission statement to challenge and nurture students for lives of leadership and service that express the faith and learning they develop and acquire while in our charge. In this catalog, you can read about the policies and practices students must follow to complete their studies and receive their diplomas. You also can read about something much more important. We articulate our most deeply held convictions about education. Taking quite seriously our obligation to lay a firm foundation of knowledge upon which students can build the remainder of their lives, we describe a powerful common curriculum, our Plan of Essential Education. Designed to impart the riches of a liberal education, that is, the essential wisdom that equips any citizen for productive engagement in communities, this plan provides students with opportunities to hone their skills of inquiring, reasoning, and writing while acquainting them with the many bodies of knowledge that shape our culture and inform our lives. We describe a robust array of more than 50 academic majors intended to fulfill our goal of both rigor and usefulness. We offer students many opportunities to study subjects deeply, guided by knowledgeable and mentoring professors. We know such opportunities build students’ confidence and empower them to live out their learning in meaningful ways—whether that’s post-graduate education or immediate entry into the world of work. In this catalog, you also will see the many interdisciplinary and individualized options for students—from earning a leadership certificate to studying abroad, from pursuing undergraduate research to enhancing a course with service-learning. We attend to each student’s needs and offer countless chances to cultivate and refine those mental tools that ensure success. Wartburg is a welcoming, vibrant, and exciting community that our students have helped to build and continue to sustain. Striving to excel in all that they do, these students push themselves, as well as those of us who work here, to reach for challenging goals and to achieve them. I welcome you to Wartburg, confident that you will find much to learn and to love in this place.

Introduction
An Introduction
Mission Statement Wartburg College is dedicated to challenging and nurturing students for lives of leadership and service as a spirited expression of their faith and learning. Wartburg College helps students discover and claim their callings—connecting their learning with faith and values, their understanding of themselves and their gifts, their perspective on life and the future, and the opportunities for participating in church, community, and the larger society in purposeful and meaningful ways.
A Proud Heritage Wartburg College is a four-year liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Its roots trace back to 1852, when Pastor Wilhelm LĂśhe of Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, sent Georg Grossmann and five students to found a teachers seminary in Saginaw, Mich. The college moved several times before establishing a permanent home in Waverly, Iowa, in 1935. The college is named after the Wartburg Castle, founded in 1067 on a hilltop overlooking Eisenach, Germany. During the stormy days of the Reformation, the castle served as a refuge for Martin Luther. Under ban by the emperor, Luther spent 10 months in hiding, completing a translation of the New Testament into the language of the common people. His work is credited with helping unify the country by providing a standard for written German.
Location Waverly offers the safety and convenience of a small city of nearly 10,000, enhanced by the advantages of a nearby metropolitan area. The college and community are mutually supportive, and Waverly has a sister-city relationship with Eisenach, Germany, home of the Wartburg Castle. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls metropolitan area of 125,000 people is 20 minutes away with an airport, two large indoor shopping malls, and many entertainment and recreational options.
Introduction
Waverly is easily accessible from I-35 and I-380. Located at the intersection of Highways 218 and 3, it is 2.5 hours northeast of Des Moines; 3.5 hours south of Minneapolis-St. Paul; and 5.5 hours west of Chicago.
Profile Wartburg enrolls approximately 1,800 students from more than 25 states and nearly 40 other countries. Approximately one-third of first-year students rank in the upper 10 percent of their high school class. The academic environment is characterized by small classes and strong personal support. Approximately 40 percent of students reporting a religious affiliation are Lutheran, followed by Catholic, 25 percent, and Methodist, 9 percent. Many other Christian denominations are represented as well as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Judaism. Wartburg is one of 200 U.S. colleges and universities featured in Peterson’s Top Colleges for Science. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching irecognizes Wartburg for community engagement. The 2009 Princeton Review ranks Wartburg among the 161 best colleges in the Midwestern Region. Peterson’s Competitive Colleges includes Wartburg on its list of top colleges for top students. The Wartburg social work program is the state’s oldest undergraduate social work program.

Graduates with a B.A.A. or B.A.S. degree have a more technical background. Their associate degree substitutes for the major.
Calendar Wartburg College operates on a 4-4-1 calendar. Fall Term courses begin in September and conclude before Christmas. Winter Term courses start in January and finish in mid-April. A four-week May Term completes the year. Students typically take four courses during Fall and Winter Terms and one class during May Term. Many students spend at least one May Term traveling in the United States or abroad with a class or a music ensemble. The one-month term also provides many opportunities for field experiences and internships. On-campus May Term courses often involve short trips, special projects, and outdoor activities.
Statement on Diversity The Wartburg College community is committed to creating and maintaining a mutually respectful environment that recognizes and celebrates diversity among all students, faculty, and staff. Wartburg values human differences as an asset, works to sustain a culture that reflects the interests, contributions, and perspectives of members of diverse groups, and delivers educational programming to meet the needs of diverse audiences. The college seeks to instill values, understanding, and skills to encourage leadership and service in a global and multicultural society.
The Difference at Wartburg
The Difference at Wartburg
An intentional focus on the integrative programs of leadership, multicultural and diversely education, undergraduate research, and campus-community service learning adds value to a Wartburg education. The college encourages students to integrate their classroom learning with opportunities to enhance their leadership skills, immerse themselves in global or domestic settings, practice the research process, or engage in community service projects. The six distinctive characteristics of a Wartburg education are: • A dedication to the liberal arts and a concern for usefulness and careers. • A rigorous academic program and an emphasis on “living your learning.” • A commitment to leadership and a tradition of service to others. • A spirit of inquiry and exploration and a foundation of faith and values. • A vigorous global outreach and strong Midwestern roots. • A focus on the future and an appreciation for history and heritage.
A Learning Community The academic program at Wartburg College strives to create a learning community that educates the whole person by developing students’ intellectual talents, cultivating their personal convictions, and engaging them in active participation in community. In this learning community, Wartburg students are educated to: • Appreciate and participate in learning as a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, requiring collaboration with others and occurring both within and outside the confines of one’s chosen vocation. • Become conversant with the types of questions asked and the methods employed by scholars in various disciplines that represent the spectrum of the humanities and fine arts, social sciences, life and physical sciences. • Regard considerations of ethics and values as indispensable elements of human inquiry and knowledge and therefore as central objects of study in their own right. • Respect diversity and accept ambiguity within our society, as each of these is reflected in the cultural, racial, social, intellectual, and spiritual practices and standards of others.

The Difference at Wartburg • Understand the vital interplay between the individual and community, where the personal pursuit of happiness occurs in harmony with a quest for the common good and leadership is characterized by taking responsibility for communities and working to improve them. • Be active participants in their own learning and take advantage of “learning-anddoing” pedagogies to the fullest extent possible, ranging from in-class experiences to cultural immersions to service-learning, field experiences, practicums, and internships. • Achieve college-level competency in such fundamental academic skills as reading, writing, speaking, mathematics, thinking critically, using the technology of learning, and information literacy. • Develop a command of the subject matter, skills, and methods of inquiry characteristic of a particular discipline (or group of disciplines) as represented by an approved academic major. The Wartburg Readings in Common Program, an initiative of Inquiry Studies 101, fosters a community of learners who inquire into the complex issues of contemporary life and are equipped to offer reflective and meaningful responses. This program introduces firstyear students to the critical reading process at the college level while engaging the entire Wartburg community in a deep consideration of essential human issues. IS 101 program faculty and a group of upperclass students select a common reading text. The selection criteria consider each text’s literary quality as well as its compelling presentation of a range of rich questions about the human experience that inform both the integrative and interdisciplinary learning objectives of IS 101 and IS 201 as well as studies in the academic disciplines. Finally, each text is evaluated for its potential to evoke stimulating and critical dialogue among faculty, students, staff, alumni, members of the Board of Regents, and other friends of the Wartburg community. The Readings in Common Program more broadly includes faculty panel discussions of the common text, contextual lectures by scholarly experts, and representations of the text in other media such as film, art, or music. The Wartburg curriculum consists of separate courses of instruction arranged into a cohesive whole to constitute the baccalaureate degree. The primary components of Wartburg’s liberal arts curriculum are the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education, the major, and carefully selected elective courses.
The Wartburg Plan of Essential Education The Wartburg Plan of Essential Education involves required and elective courses in the liberal arts that together constitute approximately one-third of the course work for a bachelor’s degree. These courses include study in the humanities, arts, social sciences, and natural sciences. The Wartburg Plan encourages students to think critically and communicate effectively. Students discover the connections among academic disciplines and how issues and ideas go beyond the boundaries of a single area. This integrated approach is the essence of a Wartburg liberal arts education.
The Difference at Wartburg
Academic Major, Minor, and Electives A second third of the work is devoted to a major field of study. This prescribed group of courses offers depth of knowledge in a specific discipline. Students may choose from more than 50 departmental programs. Some students elect interdepartmental majors, which combine credits from up to three academic departments. Students interested in a specialized field of study may develop an individualized major, integrating courses from several academic departments. It is also possible to declare more than one major. In some majors, students may pursue a specialized concentration. Students may elect to pursue a minor. The minor involves a concentration of course work in another discipline but requires fewer courses than a major. Minors often enhance students’ academic preparation or provide them with expanded career opportunities. Wartburg offers six interdisciplinary minors: leadership certification, intercultural studies, women’s studies, worship studies, environmental studies, and social entrepreneurship. The final third of the academic program at Wartburg College consists of elective courses. Students choose these courses according to their interests and needs.
Living Your Learning One of Wartburg’s strengths is providing opportunities for students to “live their learning.” Community-based experiences are incorporated into many classes, especially those offered during May Term. Through internships, field experiences, student teaching, and service-learning, students connect their academic studies to practical situations, develop new skills, and discover how they can make an impact on the world as professionals and citizens. Wartburg is committed to mutually beneficial community partnerships that assist students in exploring and living, through community interaction, lives of leadership and service as a spirited expression of their faith and learning.
Center for Community Engagement At Wartburg we recognize that the community is our partner and an essential component in providing our students with meaningful real life experiences that are an extension of their classroom learning. The Center for Community Engagement supports and encourages students, staff and faculty in the development, coordination and evaluation of external relationships that are effective for student learning and vocational development, advance public scholarship and benefit community partners.
Field Experiences Field experiences allow students to explore their intended career path in any major at Wartburg College. Each field experience credit requires 140 hours at the site in addition to the curriculum assigned by the faculty sponsor. Examples of field experiences include education majors in an elementary or secondary classroom, social work majors observing a variety of social service agencies, or students interested in medicine or physical therapy spending time in a hospital setting. Field experiences are available to first- through fourthyear students.

The Difference at Wartburg
Internships Internships help students develop independence and leadership, link theory and practice, and offer opportunities for vocational exploration and discovery. While internships are valuable and often necessary preparation for entry into graduate school or the work force, academic internships at Wartburg also provide an opportunity to connect learning to life and to explore and understand the ways work can matter in the world. Internships constitute a student’s entire course work in May Term and up to two credits during Fall, Winter, or Summer terms. Students may apply up to four internship course credits toward graduation, but no more than two credits may be taken at a single site. Each internship credit requires a minimum of 140 hours at the internship site in addition to curriculum assigned by the faculty sponsor. Some academic majors require internships; others offer them as electives. Interns must be classified as either third- or fourth-year students with a 2.0 cumulative GPA overall and in their major. Departments may specify additional prerequisites.
Leadership Education Leadership Education at Wartburg is part of the academic curriculum under the administration of the Institute for Leadership Education which is staffed by a director, assistant director, instructors with expertise in leadership education, and Fellows of the Institute who are members of the Wartburg faculty and staff. The Institute for Leadership Education at Wartburg defines leadership as “taking responsibility for our communities and making them better through public action.” The college prepares students to assume leadership in addressing community issues while they are enrolled and after they graduate. The normative assumption underlying this definition is the belief that leadership education, properly conceived and executed, connects students to a defined community for purposes of achieving a common goal, and that this can contribute to their civic, social, and personal development, as well as to their cognitive development. All of these attributes are essential to a liberal arts education and vital to the private interests of the lifelong learner of the 21st century and to the public contribution she/he can make to the sustenance of a democratic society. The Wartburg Institute for Leadership Education provides formal and informal opportunities for students to discover their own leadership potential, examine issues facing their communities, and learn about the obligations of citizens to contribute to community welfare and growth. The Institute helps students meet these goals through components coordinated by a committee of faculty, administrators, and students: • Leadership workshops and retreats help students identify personal strengths and encourage ongoing improvement. • Mentoring gives students opportunities to serve as mentors to young people and to be the recipients of mentoring relationships with leading citizens who have taken responsibility for their communities.
The Difference at Wartburg
• Academic course work encourages students to employ the skills of critical inquiry as they study theories of leadership and test those theories through the execution of action plans identified by students to meet community needs. • Outreach activities encourage students to serve communities in Waverly, Northeast Iowa, and around the world. Recognition of a student’s commitment to leadership education occurs through the Leadership Certificate Program (LCP). The LCP provides formal opportunities and acknowledges effective efforts by Wartburg students to demonstrate and reflect critically upon the meaning of leadership in their lives as demonstrated through the completion of a personal portfolio. Students who complete the program requirements receive acknowledgement of this accomplishment on their college transcript.
Multicultural and Diversity Studies The programs offered by Multicultural and Diversity Studies invite students to engage more fully with our increasingly interdependent world. Multicultural and Diversity Studies works in partnership with academic departments and advisors, helping students achieve the intercultural competence necessary to succeed in and contribute to our global community. Minor in Intercultural Studies Students can earn a minor in Intercultural Studies, an interdisciplinary program emphasizing awareness of cultures (one’s own as well as others) and the communication skills necessary to be effective in a global society. Requires course work, language proficiency, and designated cultural immersion experiences (see description elsewhere in catalog). Study Abroad Students can study abroad for a semester (in some cases an academic year) with an approved program. Opportunities are available in many countries where students can be immersed in a language or study in English. Internships are available in many locations around the world. Through Wartburg’s unique Diers Programs, students have the opportunity to work in community-based grassroots programs in Tanzania, Ghana, Australia, or China. Modern Languages majors are required to study abroad for a May Term, then for a semester or year. Application for Study Abroad is competitive. Deadline for application for the following academic year is Feb. 1. Information at www.wartburg.edu/gmcs/. May Term Courses Wartburg’s four-week May Term is an ideal time for off-campus study. Faculty members lead students on a variety of courses, including language study in France, Germany, or Mexico; a study of Reformation sites in Europe; a class on the Maasai people in Tanzania; a course on the merging of ancient and modern elements in Japan; a class on rainforest ecology and cultures in Guyana; and many others listed in the catalog. All students who wish to enroll in a May Term course must submit an application and

The Difference at Wartburg faculty recommendation. Application materials and additional May Term information are available at www.wartburg.edu/gmcs/mayterm.html. Concert Tours Abroad The Wartburg Choir, Castle Singers, and Wind Ensemble schedule May Term concert tours abroad every three years. Students perform and earn academic credit by taking GM 223 Tour with the Arts.
Service-Learning Drawing upon multiple disciplines, service-learning projects foster listening, understanding, and action. Service-learning and other forms of community service help students develop habits and skills necessary for democratic citizenship and provide an opportunity to reflect on faith, cultures, social structures, and the meaning of justice. Service opportunities are embedded in courses, including May Term travel courses, and offered through service days, service-oriented student organizations, and service trips. Wartburg’s service-learning programs have been nationally recognized. In 2009, Wartburg was one of five recipients of the inaugural Washington Center Higher Education Civic Engagement Award. Since 2006, Wartburg has been listeded on the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll “with distinction.” In 2007, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching included Wartburg in its Curricular Engagement and Outreach classification, and Wartburg has been recognized by Break-Away, a consortium of colleges and universities, as the top program in the nation for the percentage of students participating in alternative break service trips.
Undergraduate Research Undergraduate research encourages students and faculty to work together to pose and answer meaningful questions, to explore creative and artistic interests, to contribute to new knowledge, and to add to the intellectual climate on campus. Students will further develop skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and communication through research projects in a variety of academic disciplines. Students are also encouraged to apply for grants to support research and present their findings at regional and national meetings. The Undergraduate Research Program is coordinated through the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty.
Wartburg Scholars Program The Wartburg Scholars Program is dedicated to improving the intellectual life of the campus by providing enriching academic challenges and learning opportunities to highly motivated and academically talented students who want to optimize their college experience. Students who participate in the program develop their own supplemental activities that highlight their interests. Thirty first-year students are accepted into the program during the spring before they arrive on campus via a competitive application process. Acceptance into the program automatically enrolls students in the Scholars Seminar during their first term on campus. By the time students graduate from the program, they have had opportunities for travel, seminars, book groups, and conference attendance.
The Difference at Wartburg
Wartburg Scholars are encouraged to participate in the Wartburg West Sophomore program where students spend the Fall of their sophomore year in Denver taking courses and participating in Wartburg West activities. This is also an opportunity for students with a 3.5 Wartburg GPA, who were not admitted before the start of their college careers, to gain admittance to the program. In addition to course requirements, to graduate from the program, students are required to have proposed, finished, and publically defended a Scholars Senior Project.
Wartburg West Wartburg West is an urban-experience program in Denver, Colo. The one-term program includes an internship, a student teaching placement or a social work practicum, combined with academic course work that includes service-learning. Students take courses that fulfill Interdisciplinary and Faith and Reflection requirements of the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education. Internships are arranged in many fields, including business administration, church vocations, fitness management, communication arts, and the health professions. May Term opportunities are available for social work students doing their beginning field experiences. The traditional Wartburg West program is open to third- and fourth-year students who have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher overall and in their major. Students must apply and be accepted into the program.
Wartburg West Sophomore Program The Wartburg West Sophomore program is offered Fall Term only for up to eight students. Students will take four classes that meet requirements of the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education and participate in service-learning.

Washington Center The Washington Center Program offers internships and seminars in Washington, D.C., during Fall or Winter terms. This academic internship program challenges students’ intellectual curiosity and provides them with work experience. The Washington Center Program is open to third- and fourth-year students with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 overall and in their major. Students must apply and be accepted into the program.
Faith and Values At Wartburg, students are encouraged “to discover and claim their callings.” A calling, in its deepest sense, refers to an ultimate purpose in life and to the values that will guide one’s life in the future. Through courses, mentoring relationships, and co-curricular activities, Wartburg students have the opportunity for critical reflection on their faith and values as well as the faith and values of others. The task of learning can never be separated from how knowledge will be used, whom it will serve, and whether good or evil will result. While critical reflection on faith
15
16
The Difference at Wartburg and values is welcome in all courses, specific courses within the curriculum have been designated as having a special emphasis on this integration. These include: IS 101 Asking Questions, Making Choices; IS 201 Living in a Diverse World; Faith and Reflection courses in the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education; and the capstone course in all academic majors. Through an annual convocation series, the college hosts thoughtprovoking speakers on topics of contemporary social interest. Within the co-curricular program, an active Campus Ministry program, the Volunteer Action Center, Students for Peace and Justice, a Habitat for Humanity chapter, and an Amnesty International chapter provide opportunities for critical reflection and action. By heritage and mission, Wartburg is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Because of this identity and the recognition of God’s image within every human being, students of all faiths and philosophies are welcomed and invited to participate in a process of critical reflection on their most foundational commitments.
Assessment As part of Wartburg’s continuing efforts to maintain and strengthen the quality of its academic programs, the college is actively involved in the assessment of educational outcomes. This assessment program consists of three primary steps: 1. C learly stating the objectives or intended outcomes of curricula in general education and each academic major. 2. G athering evidence of the degree to which programs are helping students achieve these outcomes. 3. U sing this evidence to monitor and improve the quality of academic programs. The focus of educational outcomes assessment is on evaluation and improving the effectiveness of academic programs. Various sections throughout this catalog list goals or objectives for Wartburg’s Essential Education program, as well as for the academic majors in each department. From time to time, students may be asked to take part in an assessment activity, such as completing a survey, participating in an interview, or taking a test. These activities may take place within a department or as part of a collegewide effort. Faculty members may ask students to help interpret the evidence gathered in these assessments and to suggest program changes or improvements. Student involvement in these activities is important to the college and will not affect academic standing in any way. Assessment helps Wartburg determine how its academic programs are working and stimulates change for the better.

Vogel Library The mission of the Robert and Sally Vogel Library is educating information-literate lifelong learners. The building opened in 1999 as a “learner’s library.” Librarians partner with the campus community to create an integrated learning environment for students in a physical facility where primary studying and learning spaces foster collaboration and teamwork. The library leads Wartburg’s Information Literacy Across the Curriculum (ILAC) program, part of the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education, and embraces the national Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. In support of the mission, librarians collaborate with classroom faculty to introduce and foster information literacy skills, such as finding, using, synthesizing, and critically evaluating information. These interactions may occur during classroom instruction, at the reference desk, and in individual consultations. In addition to providing an innovative collaborative facility and integral information literacy program, other library services contribute to the mission, whether by developing the collection to support Wartburg’s curriculum, by accessing information through resource-sharing with other libraries, or through collaborative teaching and learning opportunities. Vogel Library is open to the general public providing Internet access and resources as part of the State of Iowa Open Access program and the Cedar Valley Library Consortium. Professional librarians, support staff, and student workers are available to assist students more than 85 hours a week. When the building is closed, the library is still providing the campus community with vital resources through the library’s Web page (http://library.wartburg.edu). This Web site is constantly evolving to meet the community’s needs and provides access to an expansive array of more than 200,000 online resources and archived scholarly materials provided through consortial agreements and individual purchases. These include the library’s catalog, disciplinary databases, and subscription collections from major vendors and publishers. The library’s Web page also provides research guidance for specific courses and disciplines, and includes information about Wartburg’s nationally recognized information literacy program.

Alcohol and Other Illegal Drug Policies The Drug-Free School and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, Public Law 101226, requires that the college notify students and employees about campus policies, legal sanctions, and programs. Wartburg College students are expected to be positive, contributing members of the campus community. The possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs contradicts that commitment to community. Illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia are not permitted on the Wartburg campus. The college will cooperate with law enforcement agencies to enforce those laws. Violations of this college policy are considered serious, and sanctions can include dismissal from the college. Students who have attained the legal drinking age of 21 may possess or consume alcoholic beverages in their private living quarters, if their quarters are in buildings where alcohol is allowed. Alcohol may not be provided to students or guests under the age of 21.
Motor Vehicles Students may have motor vehicles, but the vehicles must be registered with the Security Office and parked in assigned college lots. For further information about standards of conduct, legal sanctions, educational programs, or counseling and treatment opportunities, contact the Student Life Office or consult the Wartburg College Student Handbook.
Responsibilities of Students Students are expected to assume responsibility for their conduct and for making full use of educational opportunities. They are expected to observe established standards for scholarship, conduct, and campus life. Some standards exist because the college is part of a larger community governed by federal and state legislation. Other standards are unique to Wartburg and support an environment conducive to the learning and nurturing of Christian values. It is especially important that students observe academic honesty and integrity as described in the Wartburg College Honor Code.
The Wartburg College Honor Code As a matter of personal commitment, students, faculty, and staff of Wartburg College are expected to demonstrate four simple principles: 1. Submit only work that is your own. 2. When using the ideas of others, give full credit through accurate citations. 3. A sk for clarification if you are uncertain about the rules of citation on a particular assignment. 4. Maintain academic honesty on examinations and class assignments. All are responsible for abiding by these guidelines and opposing academic dishonesty by reporting any act that goes against these guidelines. When evidence of dishonesty is discovered, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. The Wartburg College Student Handbook outlines standards of conduct and regulations governing student life. Copies are available from the Student Life Office.

Academic Policies and Procedures
Wartburg Plan of Essential Education As a basis of a Wartburg College education, the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education is designed to create liberally educated, ethically minded citizens for the 21st century by: • Helping students develop critical thinking and communication skills. • Helping students see connections among academic disciplines. • Helping students integrate faith with learning. • Helping students develop literacies in information literacy, diversity, speaking, writing, and ethics. The Wartburg Plan emphasizes thinking strategies, reasoning skills, fundamental literacies, faith and reflection, health and wellness, and a capstone course.
Thinking Strategies: The Three Levels On the introductory level, IS (Inquiry Studies) courses help students to develop critical inquiry and communication skills as they take responsibility for their Wartburg education and actions within the context of becoming liberally educated persons and lifelong learners. These courses teach students to recognize challenges and opportunities of living in a world characterized by a complex array of cultures and subcultures and to connect this widened view of the world to liberal learning. Drawing from a variety of disciplines in the humanities/fine arts, social sciences, and natural sciences, IS courses emphasize broad processes of inquiry and articulation. On the second level, IC (Interconnected) courses introduce students to the interdependence of academic disciplines as well as to their unique contributions to human understanding of themes, issues, and fields of knowledge. These courses allow students to experience varied approaches, processes, and vocabularies, thus exposing them to new and useful insights. On the third level, ID (Interdisciplinary Studies) courses require students to synthesize knowledge and pay attention to the assumptions and methods of specific disciplines as they examine a major ethical, cultural, or intellectual phenomenon or problem. Students draw upon work in their major(s) and experiences in IS and IC courses as they integrate concepts and skills from the humanities/fine arts, social sciences, and natural sciences. This integration helps students gain a more thorough understanding of complex social, historical, or philosophical issues.
Reasoning The Wartburg Plan focuses on verbal reasoning (writing and speech), mathematical reasoning, and scientific reasoning. Wartburg believes that competency in these three areas is essential to liberal learning, which in turn produces good citizenship and leads to career success.
Literacy The Wartburg Plan emphasizes literacies required of a liberally educated person. Special courses integrate information literacy; diversity across the curriculum, including foreign language; oral communication across the curriculum; and writing across the curriculum.

Faith and Reflection The Wartburg Plan requires two courses in faith and reflection. As a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Wartburg takes seriously its duty to foster spiritual as well as intellectual growth and to help students integrate the two. Students take two religion/philosophy courses, one during the first two years and one during years three and four. The first course offers in-depth study of the Biblical tradition. The second course, chosen from several options, considers how Christian traditions or the Western philosophical traditions have addressed ultimate questions of being and value in human experience.
Health and Wellness The Wartburg Plan includes an emphasis on health and wellness to nurture body as well as mind and spirit. A half-term course required of all students promotes life-affirming choices regarding physical health.
The Capstone As the final component of the Wartburg Plan, the capstone is the only Essential Education course specifically included in the student’s major. It completes the process of integration as students synthesize their learning to address issues in their major. Essential Education Requirements by Degree Candidates for the BACHELOR OF ARTS (B.A.) degree take courses that fulfill the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education (see chart on page 37) and courses that complete a major as listed by each academic department.

Major, Minor Students enrolled as degree-seeking students must declare a major by completing the appropriate form, available in the Registrar’s Office, and obtaining the required signatures. This declaration may occur any time after matriculation but must be completed by the time students have accumulated 13 course credits (the end of the third term for most students). Students may declare a departmental major, an interdepartmental major, or an individualized major. Students may declare more than one major.
Departmental Major Specific course requirements are listed in each departmental description. Declaring a departmental major requires approval of the department. The following departmental majors and concentrations, except those indicated as B.M. or B.M.E., lead to the B.A. degree:

Academic Policies and Procedures Students must obtain approval of their interdepartmental major title and course requirements before the end of the first term of the third year. The Educational Policies Committee and a committee consisting of one faculty member from each department involved in the major approve the title and course requirements. The academic adviser approves other components of the program, such as electives. Information is available from the Registrar. Requests for an interdepartmental major are made through the Dean of the Faculty.
Individualized Major The individualized major is designed by a student in consultation with the academic adviser. This major represents a coherent grouping of courses pertinent to the student’s educational goals. Individualized majors must be significantly different (at least four course credits) from majors currently available at Wartburg College. An individualized program of study must include: 1. C ompletion of graduation requirements as described on page 35 of this catalog. 2. C ompletion of a student-designed individualized major with a minimum of 13 and a maximum of 20 courses. 3. C ompletion of nine of the total 36 course credits at the 300 and 400 level. Request for the individualized major must be submitted to the Dean of the Faculty and approved by the Educational Policies Committee no later than the end of the first term of the third year. Information on the individualized major may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office or the Wartburg Web site.

Registration Students are expected to register for the full academic year during the official registration dates announced by the Registrar. Students prepare class schedules in consultation with an academic adviser and complete registration on the dates relative to the student classifications. Final course rosters are determined by class seniority and need.
Arranged Study Students who need to take a required course not offered before the student’s projected graduation date may request to enroll in the course as an arranged study. The request includes completion of the appropriate form, available in the Registrar’s Office or the Wartburg College Web site, which serves as the contract between the students and the faculty sponsor. A fee is charged.
Academic Policies and Procedures
Independent Study Students who wish to enroll in an individualized course may request an independent study under the course number 450 for each discipline. The request includes the completion of the appropriate form, available in the Registrar’s Office or the Wartburg College Web site, which serves as the course proposal and the contract between the student and the faculty sponsor. A fee is charged.
Auditing Courses Full-time students who wish to attend a class without receiving college credit may audit a class with the approval of the instructor and the Registrar. The student must register for the course as an audit and attend classes regularly. There is no charge for full-time students to audit a class. Part-time students and non-degree-seeking students who wish to attend a class without receiving college credit may audit a class with the consent of the instructor and the Registrar. Registration for non-degree-seeking students occurs one month prior to the start date of each term, if space is available in the class. An audit fee is charged to parttime and non-degree-seeking students. Applications for auditing a course are available in the Registrar’s Office.
Withdraw To withdraw from a course, students must complete the appropriate card, which is available in the Registrar’s Office. During the second through the ninth week of a term, students may withdraw from a course with a non-punitive grade of W. Students who stop attending a course without officially withdrawing will receive a punitive grade of F. Adjustments to a student’s course load during a term may impact the student’s tuition charge, financial aid, and athletic eligibility. To withdraw or take a leave of absence from the college during a term or at the end of the term, students must obtain the appropriate form from the Enrollment Management Office and complete the withdrawal process by submitting the form and meeting with the Vice President for Enrollment Management. Cancellation of registration and determination of tuition and fees are based upon the date the student completes the withdrawal process. If students are unable to initiate the withdrawal due to medical reasons or other extenuating circumstances, the Vice President for Enrollment Management will make appropriate arrangements. A leave of absence is available to students who must withdraw from the college for health or personal reasons and who plan to return to Wartburg at a later date. Authorizations for a leave of absence must be granted through the Enrollment Management Office using the following criteria: 1. L eave of absence may be granted to students whose documented health, personal, or family problems require them to leave the college temporarily. The leave of absence will be utilized if the student intends to re-enroll. Leaves of absence may be extended an additional term by the Enrollment Management Office. Normally, the total length of a leave of absence will not exceed two terms.

Academic Policies and Procedures 2. L eave of absence may be granted to students with unfocused academic and career goals who want to spend a term working or exploring other options. Normally, students to whom this policy applies will not be enrolled as full-time students at another institution during the leave of absence. Financial aid eligibility is protected if students are academically eligible at the time the leave is granted and family circumstances do not change significantly. Students are eligible to retain college scholarships upon readmission. Students are eligible to sign up for housing and to register for classes during the designated sign-up time for their classification, even though they are not currently enrolled. The Dean of the Faculty determines eligibility for students who wish to be readmitted to Wartburg after suspension for academic reasons (see Academic Standing).

Academic Policies and Procedures
Community College Wartburg College welcomes graduates of community colleges and will work with community college students to plan for a successful transfer to Wartburg after completion of the A.A or A.S. degree. While attending a two-year college, students are welcome to work with a Wartburg faculty adviser to plan completion of the baccalaureate degree. Students who complete an A.A. or an A.S. degree will transfer to Wartburg as a third-year student. Students who have not completed the A.A. degree are also welcome at Wartburg. The Registrar’s Office will assist with the evaluation of courses for the purposes of transfer to the Wartburg College academic program. Contact the Admissions Office for assistance if you are a community college student or graduate.
Grades Definitions Distinguished performance is denoted by the grade A, superior work by B, satisfactory achievement by C, minimal achievement by D, unsatisfactory achievement by F. Pluses and minuses are awarded. P/D/F Designated in course descriptions. Some courses are graded only with P/D/F. P (pass) gives credit in a course offered P/D/F and indicates that the student earned a grade of C- or higher. Any grade below a C- is calculated into the cumulative grade point average. P/D/F Option Students have the option of taking one elective course on a P/D/F basis for each class year at Wartburg, up to a maximum of four. Students may use one P/D/F option per term only for elective courses toward graduation, in addition to courses offered only on a P/D/F basis. The P/D/F option is not used for standardly graded courses that fulfill major, minor, concentration, teaching endorsement, or Wartburg Plan requirements. Students may change a course to or from the P/D/F option through the first half of the term. P O (pass option) gives credit in a course elected P/D/F and indicates that the student earned a grade of C- or higher. D O means a student has received a grade of D in a P/D/F option course. A grade of D O is calculated into the cumulative grade point average. F O means a student has received a failing grade in a P/D/F option course. A grade of F O is calculated into the grade point average. I (incomplete) means students have postponed required work with prior consent of instructors and for reasons beyond their control: physical or emotional conditions precluding timely progress in or completion of courses as confirmed by appropriate professionals, or catastrophic exigency affecting students’ families. Incomplete work must be completed by the fourth week of the next four-month term or grades of I become F.
Academic Policies and Procedures
Grades of I may also be issued until field experience, internship, laboratory research, or study abroad work is completed and evaluated. W (withdraw) indicates students formally withdrew from a course. This must be done by the end of the ninth week of Fall or Winter Term classes or by the end of the eighth day of May Term classes. NR (not reported) means instructor did not report grade. AU (audit) indicates that a student elected to attend a course without receiving degree credit.
Grade Point Average Grade point average is determined by dividing the total number of earned quality points by the total number of course credits in which an A, B, C, D, or F was earned. Quality points for grades are: A 4.000 A- 3.700 B+ 3.300
B 3.000 B- 2.700 C+ 2.300
C 2.000 C- 1.700 D+ 1.300
D 1.000 D- 0.700 F 0
No quality points are awarded for the grades P, PO, I, or W, and courses with those grades are not considered when determining grade point average. When a course is repeated at Wartburg, only the last grade is used to calculate grade point average. Grades earned at other institutions are entered on students’ records, but transfer course credits and grade point averages are not included when computing grade point average at Wartburg.
Academic Records In the maintenance of student records and permission to access these records or release information contained in these records, Wartburg College complies with federal and state laws. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the regulations required by this act may be reviewed in the Registrar’s Office.
Academic Standing and Satisfactory Academic Progress Students are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress if their cumulative grade point average exceeds the suspension standards for their position in the following table: Course Credits completed 0.25-4.75 5.00-9.75 10.00-13.75 14.00-18.75 19.00-22.75 23.00-27.75 28.00
Suspension GPA 0.000-1.000 0.000-1.400 0.000-1.500 0.000-1.650 0.000-1.800 0.000-1.900 0.000-1.999
Probation GPA 1.001-1.500 1.401-1.600 1.501-1.750 1.651-1.850 1.801-1.900 1.901-1.999

Academic Policies and Procedures Students are subject to probation or suspension at the end of any term in which their cumulative GPA falls below the standards in the table. Regardless of the students’ cumulative grade point averages, if the grade point average for any given term is below 1.500, students are placed on probation. Probationary status is automatically removed at the end of any term in which the cumulative GPA exceeds the probation standards in the table. In addition, students are subject to suspension when they have been on probation for one term and have not raised their grade point average above the probation level. The Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs reviews the academic standing of all students at the end of Fall Term and at the end of Winter/May Terms (considered jointly). Notification of academic probation and suspension appears on the grade report and is sent for informational purposes to academic advisers and the Dean of Students. Academic probation constitutes serious warning to students that their retention at the college is in jeopardy. During a period of probation, students are encouraged to contact their advisers, visit the Pathways Center, and/or meet with the Dean of Students to develop strategies for improving their academic performance. Suspended students are ineligible to enroll as degree-seeking students for the immediately succeeding term (Fall or Winter/May). If and when they return to regular status following a period of suspension, students remain under the terms and conditions of the catalog in effect at the time they matriculated (subject to statutory limitations for earning a baccalaureate degree). Suspended students wishing to seek readmission following the period of suspension must do so by writing to the Dean of the Faculty, stating specific reasons for seeking readmission and providing evidence of ability to succeed in college-level studies. Students readmitted following a period of suspension are ineligible to participate in organized co-curricular activities (e.g., intercollegiate athletics, student publications, student government), to work in residence hall or Student Life programs (e.g., in residence halls or as Student Orientation Staff), or to join in any organized student activities related to academic programs (e.g., band, choir, speech team, etc.) until they raise their cumulative GPA above the probation level. Students who are readmitted after having served a suspension are automatically dismissed if they are suspended a second time.
Appeal Procedures Students may appeal suspension if they believe extenuating circumstances have contributed to poor academic performance. Appeal letters must be addressed to the Dean of the Faculty and received in accordance with deadlines stated in the suspension notice. Appeal letters should contain specific reasons for requesting removal of suspension status and plans for improving academic performance. The Dean of the Faculty, in consultation with the academic adviser, the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, and the Dean of Students, will render the final appeal decision. If appeal is granted, notification of suspension will be removed from grade reports and transcripts, and students will be on probation. The Dean of the Faculty reserves the prerogative to grant appeals by placing enrollment conditions upon students. Dismissals cannot be appealed, and dismissed students will not be readmitted.
Academic Policies and Procedures
Athletic Eligibility To be eligible to compete and practice in intercollegiate athletics, student-athletes must be registered as full-time students during the term of participation. In order to be eligible for competition during May Term, student-athletes must be enrolled full-time during this time period. Student-athletes are subject to academic standing and satisfactory progress requirements as defined by the college. Student-athletes are considered to be in good academic standing provided their GPA and course credits completed exceed the suspension standards. To be eligible for Fall Term competition, student-athletes must pass four course credits in the previous Winter/May and Summer Terms or seven course credits the previous Fall, Winter/May and Summer Terms combined. To be eligible for Winter/May Term competition, a student-athlete must pass three course credits in the previous Fall and Summer Terms or seven course credits in the previous Fall, Summer, and Winter/May Terms combined. According to NCAA and IIAC rules, student-athletes have 10 semesters of full-time enrollment to utilize four seasons of participation. A student-athlete who practices after the first date of competition, and never competes, has completed a season of competition.
Variances Students may petition for variances from college policy by appealing to the Vice President for Enrollment Management. The appropriate form is available in the Registrar’s Office or the Wartburg College Web site.
Academic Recognition Dean’s List A Dean’s List is announced at the end of Fall and Winter/May Terms. Students receive this recognition by earning a minimum term grade point average of 3.500 in at least four course credits Fall Term or at least five course credits Winter/May Term. At least three course credits in Fall Term and four during Winter/May Term must be graded with a grade other than P or P O. Students with incompletes are not eligible for the Dean’s List.

Pre-Law Campus Contacts: Dr. Fredric Waldstein, Social Sciences Department; Dr. Vicki Edelnant, Pathways Center Statement on Pre-Law Preparation by the Pre-Law Committee of the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar. Undergraduate Education: The American Bar Association does not recommend any undergraduate majors or group of courses to prepare for a legal education. Students are admitted to law school from almost every academic discipline. You may choose to major in subjects that are considered to be traditional preparation for law school, such as history, English, philosophy, political science, economics, or business; or, you may focus your
Preprofessional Study undergraduate studies in areas as diverse as art, music, science, mathematics, computer science, engineering, nursing, or education. Whatever major you select, you are encouraged to pursue an area of study that interests and challenges you, while taking advantage of opportunities to develop your research and writing skills. Taking a broad range of difficult courses from demanding instructors is excellent preparation for legal education. A sound legal education will build upon and further refine the skills, values, and knowledge that you already possess. The student who comes to law school lacking a broad range of basic skills and knowledge will face a difficult challenge.
Consistent with the Philosophy of the American Bar Association expressed above, Wartburg College encourages students to select major areas of study that interest them because they are likely to perform better and have a more enjoyable academic experience. Students interested in entering law school gain excellent preparation through the combination of the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education and their major. Prelaw advisers help students identify strengths and weaknesses, and together with the student, plan a personalized course of study. Law School Admissions Tests (LSAT) scores, student grade point average, letters of recommendation, and students’ interests determine which law school best fits their needs. Recommended: Writing intensive courses, interactive courses, logic, and courses that require research.

Art Barbara J. Fedeler, Chair; Thomas R. Payne The Art Department provides Wartburg students the ability to communicate with discipline and imaginative understanding about the visual world and its design. Through appreciation, experience, and production, art students broaden their creative and critical abilities and share these new skills through creating works of art. The Art Department offers a variety of academic and studio courses in traditional and technology-based media. The limited size of classes and open attitudes of faculty encourage individual attention and a close working relationship. Through advanced courses and independent studies, students may pursue individual interests. Program goals: • To develop the capacity for expression through the practice of creative visualization, organization, and conceptualization. • To develop high standards and technical skills in the craft of art and in its presentation. • To develop a command of the significant ideas, techniques, and developments associated with the student’s area of interest and current styles and directions in art. • To develop an awareness and appreciation of historical, contemporary, and multicultural influences on works of art in both traditional and nontraditional modes of expression.

Chemistry Chemistry is often considered the “central science,” because an understanding of chemistry is essential for success in most science-related occupations. The department’s contemporary curricular program equips students for living and working in our modern, technologically advanced society. Experimentation is at the heart of the program. On campus, students use modern instrumentation in course work and individual research. May Term and summer internships provide authentic research and work experiences at the industrial or university level. Chemistry faculty members are effective teachers and advisers, and the smaller class size enables faculty and students to become well acquainted. Program goals: • To provide a curriculum designed to serve the needs of the following groups of students: (1) chemistry and biochemistry majors intending to continue on to professional study (M.S., Ph.D.), go directly into chemistry- and biochemistryrelated employment, or teach chemistry/science at the secondary level; (2) chemistry, biochemistry, and other science majors intending to enter the health professions (M.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.V.M., Pharm D.); (3) other science majors intending to enter allied health fields (medical technology, chiropractic, occupational therapy, optometry, podiatry, physical therapy, and nursing); (4) students interested in environmental studies; and (5) non-science majors interested in the study of chemistry/science as a science component of the liberal arts. • To challenge students to be critical thinkers and enthusiastic scientists capable of independent laboratory experimentation and continued professional growth after completing their college studies. • To confront students with the needs and priorities of modern society and to emphasize their responsibility to society as scientists and citizens.

Education Cheryl W. O’Brien, Chair; Roberta L. Bodensteiner; Kathleen J. Book; Diane M. McCarty; Peggy A.P. Pruisner; Susan K. Sherwood Education programs are based on a solid liberal arts background. They provide an understanding of our pluralistic society and the children who will grow and live in that society. Programs are designed for students who are service-minded, have a commitment to young people, and want to learn the science and art of teaching. The Teacher Education Program is centered around a theoretical knowledge base that combines with the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education, specialty content area expertise, and a professional core of education-related courses to develop effective and reflective preservice teachers. This knowledge base includes: communication; student learning; collaboration, ethics, and relationships; instructional strategies; reflection and professional development; assessment; instructional planning; diverse learners; technology; and learning environment. Specifically, the mission of the Wartburg Teacher Education Program is to develop the talents and abilities of students to become effective and reflective teachers in lives of professional service and leadership as an expression of their faith and learning. To accomplish the purpose of the Teacher Education Program and support the mission of the college, the preservice teachers will demonstrate: • Commitment to students and their learning. • Knowledge of the content and how to teach the content to students. • Responsibility for motivating, managing, and monitoring student learning. • Reflective thinking about their practice and their experiences. • Interest in being lifelong learners and members of learning communities. • Dedication to helping individuals reach their full potential through service to God and humanity. The program provides early and continuing field experiences. Field sites are available at schools in Waverly and the surrounding area, including Waterloo, and in New York City and Denver, Colo.
Education
As early as the first year, prospective teachers may become involved in teaching activities. Throughout the program, one-on-one tutoring and small- and large-group presentations are essential components of practicum experiences. Methods courses emphasize instructional planning, a variety of teaching strategies, and technology integration. Before graduation, all teacher education students must complete a 25-hour field experience in a cultural setting significantly different than their own. The culminating experience is student teaching, integrating preparation with practice. According to an Iowa legislative mandate, students wishing to be admitted to the Teacher Education Program must pass a basic skills test. Successful completion of the Praxis I, Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPSTŽ) is a requirement for admission to the Wartburg College Teacher Education Program. Successful completion is defined as a total score of 522 with no score less than 172 and no more than one individual score below 174. There is no appeal to this policy. Students may receive information about the test, registration forms, test-taking assistance, and remediation in the Pathways Center. Additional information will be discussed in the ED 100 Foundations of Education course. All testing costs will be borne by the student. The test and/or individual subtests may be retaken until the student receives a passing score. Transfer students will be allowed to transfer their scores from other institutions; they will be allowed to take upper-division course work for one term without a passing score. Wartburg teacher education graduates serve in public and private schools throughout the United States. Increasing public school teacher shortages provide opportunities for employment in many subjects and in a variety of geographic areas at the elementary and secondary levels. The Education Department and Pathways Center assist graduates in the job search. Students must achieve a C- or above in all methods and professional core courses and endorsement courses. Wartburg is one of only a few Iowa institutions accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The college is also approved by the Iowa Department of Education and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. Teacher education programs Teacher education programs are offered in elementary teaching (grades K-8) and secondary teaching (grades 5-12). Licensure for early childhood and middle school classrooms is also available. Programs in elementary education require a major in elementary education and one endorsement; secondary programs require a teaching major in a subject area. Students with elementary education teaching majors who are interested in teaching in secondary schools may do this by completing: one of the 5-12 teaching endorsement areas; ED 452 Culture and Pedagogy of American Schools; PSY 211 Adolescent Development (½) (or PSY 225 Life Span Human Development); the Secondary Content Methods Course; and ED 483 Secondary Student Teaching (with seven weeks of student teaching assignment in a middle school or high school setting). This option must be discussed and planned carefully with the adviser.

English Wartburg’s English program—including majors in English, Writing, and English teaching—offers students the flexibility to prepare for a wide range of careers. Wartburg English graduates are employed by companies, organizations, and institutions that seek people who communicate well. Graduates work in human services, mass media, publishing, technical writing, and business; teach in the secondary schools here and abroad; or continue their education in business, law, English, and other graduate and professional degree programs. To give students the appropriate preparation, the English program focuses upon three curricular goals: • To engage students in a variety of creative responses to human experience through encounters with ideas, values, and artistic achievements in written, spoken, and visual media. • To assist students in understanding their own writing processes and in using writing as a tool for thinking, learning, and communicating.
English and Modern Languages 119
• To prepare students to teach English, to become members of the business community, to work in human services, or to enter graduate and professional school.

Modern Languages Modern language programs prepare students for participation in the global village by developing mastery of a non-English language, multicultural awareness, and the professional versatility necessary to adapt to change. A variety of degree programs provides a unique balance of course work on campus and abroad. Campus language courses bring students to a high level of proficiency, making use of multimedia resources and peer-taught tutorials. Culture courses survey a broad spectrum of human activity past and present, from political, economic, and social developments to artistic expression in literature and film. Students study abroad four to eight weeks at the end of the first year and one to two semesters in the third year. They also can participate in off-campus internships and practica sponsored by the college. The overall goals of the program in its French, German, and Spanish curricula are to prepare students to become: • Effective communicators in both their own and other languages by developing proficiency in another language and by comparative study of that language with their own. • Astute analysts of other cultures by studying another culture in depth. • Insightful about themselves and their knowledge by constant reconsideration and correction of their understanding of and positions on other cultures.
122 English and Modern Languages - French • Informed and knowledgeable across the academic disciplines by studying interdisciplinary cultural materials in the target language. • Participants in multilingual communities and global society by being directly involved in another culture through total immersion experiences.

Foreign Language Proficiency One term of a second language at the 106 level or above (or three years of a second language in high school, or bilingual proficiency) Cultural Immersion Points A cultural immersion is a course or program in which students live in a culture significantly different from the one in which they were raised and which has been approved as a cultural immersion by the Educational Policies Committee. An intercultural studies point is not a course credit. It is a measure assigned to weight the depth of a cultural immersion. A May Term cultural immersion earns one point, because a student has been exposed to another culture in a way that moves beyond being a tourist. A cultural immersion during Fall and/or Winter Term earns two points. Two Cultural Immersion Points Fall or Winter Term Abroad, or Year Abroad on an approved Study Abroad program One Cultural Immersion Point May/Summer Abroad, as noted below or approved by GMCS ART 375 Drawing and Painting in Italy BI/GM 216 Ecology of Guyana II/Social and Cultural Ecology of Guyana II ED 212 Human Relations (NY and Denver only) EN 261 England: A Literary Tour FR 260/261 May Term Abroad: France GER 260/261 May Term Abroad: Germany GM 220/230 Southeast Asia Expeditionary Course I/II GM 223 Tour with the Arts: Europe GM 232 Japan: Tradition and Culture GM 270 Exploration and Service-Learning in Alaska GM 303 Historical Roots of Math and Physics HI 320 Investigating Germany’s Past Abroad ID 304 China in Transition ID 308 Archaeology and the Bible ID 359 Tanzania and the Global AIDS Crisis RE 255 Urban Ministry (any approved location) RE 257 Church in Latin America RE 277 Reformation Then and Now SP 260/261 May Term Abroad: Mexico
134 International Relations
International Relations Bret L. Billet, Daniel J. Walther, coordinators The international relations program exposes students to essential questions regarding the processes by which the complexities of interdependence meet with deeply held individual values. Broadly speaking, this involves answering the fundamental question of who gets what, where, when, how, and why in international relations. International relations is an interdisciplinary program that equips students with the breadth (i.e., perspectives) and depth of coverage to contemplate and effectively respond to these questions. More detailed inquiry into a specific geographical region is also possible within the program. Students pursuing this major are strongly encouraged to incorporate more foreign language and international travel into their academic program. A variety of May Term and semester-long opportunities exist. Moreover, we encourage students to double major in a related field, such as economics, foreign language, history, international business, political science, religion, or sociology to further enhance their understanding and preparation. Program goals: • To expose students to numerous interdisciplinary perspectives regarding the nature of international relations. • To recognize the existence of complex interdependence within and among cultures. • To foster greater understanding of international affairs and statecraft. • To foster the ability to think critically about international affairs. • To demonstrate competent research skills in a professional manner. • To effectively communicate in both oral and written forms. • To prepare students for entry into government service, intergovernmental service, non-governmental service, international business, and/or graduate school.

Music Karen E. Black, Chair; Jane E. Andrews; Craig A. Hancock; Melanie D. Harms; Jennifer J. Larson; Scott J. Muntefering; Brian J. Pfaltzgraff; Lee D. Nelson; Ted A. Reuter; Maria Paula Survilla; Suzanne K. Torkelson; Eric J. Wachmann; Janice E. Wade; Geoffrey A. Wilson The Wartburg College Music Department is an accredited, institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). The music therapy majors are approved by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) and lead to eligibility for board certification. Completion of the Bachelor of Music Education and the Bachelor of Music Education/Music Therapy leads to licensure in education. In addition to its degree programs, the Music Department invites participation by non-music majors in the many and varied musical activities offered throughout the school year. Course work for the Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Music Education, and Bachelor of Arts degrees is carefully planned. Requirements include weekly individual lessons in applied areas, basic piano skills, and recitals. The passing of first- and second-year performance examinations is required to major in music, and jury performance is required each term. Music majors are required to earn at least a C- in all music courses (applied lessons, B-). Music majors earning less than a C- in classroom work are required to retake the course. If the second effort also results in a grade of less than C-, the student will be dropped as a music major. A student must maintain at least a B- for each term in the major applied area (lessons). Students earning less than a B- in applied lessons will be on probation for one term only while attempting to raise this grade in order to remain a major in that area or to retain a Meistersinger Scholarship. Students who do not maintain this standard must either qualify for another principal performing area or change majors. Music students will: • Gain an understanding of the elements of music including a competency level in music theory and aural skills. • Gain an understanding of musical styles and periods and understand music within a larger cultural context. • Develop performance skills through applied lessons and solo recitals. • Participate in an ensemble experience at a high level. • Develop the ability to write and speak as advocates for their art. • Develop an appreciation of the value of music in education and society.

Religion and Philosophy Kathryn A. Kleinhans, Chair; Ronald G. Alexander; Bonita R. Bock; Nelson C. Bock; Walter C. Bouzard, Jr.; Brian C. Jones; Judith A. Jones; Peter T. Nash; Frederick M. Strickert Wartburg College understands itself as a community of faith and learning. Course work in religion helps students understand the Christian heritage, increase ethical sensitivity, gain understanding of and respect for other religions, and explore the relation between faith and life. The principal mission of philosophy is to foster in its practitioners a critical, reflective attitude. Thus, it provides students with tools to broaden narrow perspectives and analyze values, ideologies, and commitments. During May Term, students may complete traditional courses on campus, participate in field experiences in a parish or church-related agency, take part in a Denver, Colo. immersion, visit Reformation lands, or participate in an archaeological dig. The Religion and Philosophy Department offers several majors, minors, concentrations, and endorsements. Students are also encouraged to consider religion or philosophy as a second major to complement another area of academic study. The goals of the religion program at Wartburg College are to equip students: • To acquire, through the use of appropriate scholarly tools and methods, a critical understanding of the content of the Old and New Testament writings and the historical contexts from which they emerged. • To examine the formative influence of the biblical tradition upon Western civilization and to reflect on its significance for contemporary life. • To develop a critical understanding of the interrelationship among religious beliefs, institutions, and practices in changing historical contexts. • To gain appreciation and respect for the common human quest for religious meaning, informed by the study of multiple religious traditions.
150 Religion and Philosophy • To develop the ability to analyze scriptural, historical, and theological texts. • To identify and articulate their own religious and/or ethical values and to engage in constructive dialogue with others whose values may differ. • To develop moral reasoning skills and the ability to analyze issues using basic elements of ethical theory. • To integrate their religious and/or ethical values within a chosen course of study and a chosen vocational field. In addition to these, the goals of the various church vocations concentrations are for students: • To demonstrate successful completion of a program of contextual education within the chosen concentration, through internships and/or immersion experiences. • To be appropriately prepared for employment in their chosen area of ministry or for admission into graduate or professional schools. • To develop qualities of respect, engagement, and thoughtfulness appropriate for religious leadership in a pluralistic society.

Social Work Susan K. Vallem, Chair; Tamara L. Faux; A. Lynn Peters The Social Work Department is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education to grant the baccalaureate-level social work degree. The Social Work Program aims to develop graduates who are prepared for beginning generalist social work practice with systems of all sizes or graduate school entry at an advanced level. Our mission is to develop competent and proficient social work practitioners who reflect the aims, values, and ideals of a liberal arts education. Students who are not social work majors can minor in social welfare to become better informed and prepared for active community participation. The social work program is based on a strong liberal arts background. Required preprofessional courses include human biology, psychology, sociology, and political science. The program provides a minimum of two field experiences: a one-month May Term and a one-semester Senior Practicum. Students may elect two additional field placements. Field sites are available regionally and through Wartburg West in Denver, Colo. Social work program goals are to develop in students: • An understanding and application of social work values and ethics. • An understanding of human behavior and the social environment in the context of person-in-environment and a systems perspective. • An appreciation for the value and importance of human diversity. • Practice skills with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. • An understanding of social policy and the ethical obligation to work toward social and economic justice.

Charges and Fees 281
adjustments and change procedures should unforeseen conditions make it necessary.) Updated fees are published on the college Web site.
Student Payment Agreement (SPA) Payment of tuition and all other charges and fees becomes an obligation of the student at the time of registration. Billings are generated before the beginning of each term. The Federal Truth-In-Lending Act requires a complete disclosure of the terms and conditions governing the payment of these obligations and the method of calculating any applicable finance charges. To comply with these regulations, the college requires each student to sign a Student Payment Agreement (SPA). If the student is not at least 18 years of age, a parent’s signature is required. The SPA provides assurances to the college in regard to collection of charges and fees. The SPA also explains Wartburg’s policies relating to past-due accounts, including the 1.5 percent per month (18 percent annual percentage rate) finance charge. This charge will be applied to the student’s past-due balance still outstanding, beginning 30 days after the first day of each term. If the SPA is not signed by the student, the college may cancel the student’s registration and housing.
Terms of Payment An advance statement of costs for the term, along with any related financial aid, will be mailed to students approximately two to three weeks before the term begins. The net balance (i.e., charges minus related financial aid) should be paid at the beginning of the term and is considered PAST DUE 30 days after classes begin. Checks should be made payable to Wartburg College and mailed to the Controller’s Office. Failure to receive or read a bill is not an acceptable excuse for not making payment when due. It is the students’ responsibility to monitor their account balance and make required payments by the dues dates. Since some parents and students prefer to pay tuition and other fees in equal monthly installments, the college offers a payment plan option beginning in June, July, or August and ending in March. Contact the Controller’s Office for additional information at 319-352-8278 or e-mail controller@wartburg.edu.
Overdue Payments Students whose accounts are past due may be assessed a finance charge of 1.5 percent per month (18 percent annual rate) on the outstanding balance owed for each month or part of a month for which the account is past due. Students who are unable to make the payments on the specified dates should contact the Controller’s Office before the payment is due. In the absence of special arrangements, the college may cancel the student’s registration and housing. The college reserves the right to withhold the transcripts and/or the diploma until a student’s account has been paid in full.
Special Circumstances The college recognizes that individual circumstances may require special consideration. Students and/or their parents are encouraged to contact the Controller’s Office, Financial Aid Office, or Dean of Student’s Office if they have questions or concerns.
282 Charges and Fees
Change in Enrollment Status If students change their enrollment status before the end of a term, charges on their student account, as well as their financial aid, may change to reflect the new status (e.g., changing from a full-time student to a part-time student or withdrawing completely from school). See the Controller’s Office and the Financial Aid Office for further information.
Leave of Absence A leave of absence is available to students who must withdraw from Wartburg College for health or personal reasons. To qualify, a student must have completed more than 60 percent of the term and plan to return to Wartburg at a later date. Students considering a leave should discuss their circumstances with the Vice President for Enrollment Management. Authorizations for a leave of absence must be granted through the Enrollment Management Office, and students requesting a leave must complete a form available in that office. A re-enrollment following a leave of absence requires approval through the Enrollment Management Office.
Withdrawal Procedures A student who plans to leave the college after the start of a new term and not return the following term must fully withdraw from the college. The withdrawal process begins in the Enrollment Management Office. This ensures correct reimbursement, proper recording of the student’s grades, clearance of encumbrances against the student’s record, and adjustments to financial aid. Withdrawing before the end of the term may impact the student’s bill and financial aid. Students who withdraw from Wartburg College and intend or decide to return may re-enroll as a returning student by contacting the Registrar’s Office, provided that they have not enrolled at another college or university without prior approval by the Vice President for Enrollment Management. A student who has enrolled at another college after withdrawing from Wartburg College must go through the Admissions Office to reapply for admission.
Refund Policy Refunds for tuition and fees are based on the “Date of Withdrawal” (the date the student completes the official withdrawal form). Refunds for room and board are based on the “Date of Room/Board Withdrawal” (the date the student officially checks out of his or her room). No refunds are given for tuition, fees, and financial aid if 60 percent of the term has elapsed before the “Date of Withdrawal.” No refunds are given for room and board if 60 percent of the term has elapsed before “Date of Room/Board Withdrawal.” The number of days in the term and the number of days elapsed since the beginning of the term are based on calendar days, including Saturdays and Sundays. Breaks of five days or more are excluded from this calculation. A comprehensive overview of Wartburg’s withdrawal and refund policy is available on our Web site. Examples of common refund situations are available in the Financial Aid Office.
Charges and Fees 283
A. Tuition Tuition is prorated based on the number of days between the beginning of the term and the Date of Withdrawal. B. Room Room is prorated, based on the number of days between the beginning of the term and the Date of Room/Board Withdrawal. C. Board For students who live on campus and participate in the full-board plan, board is prorated based on the number of days between the beginning of the term and the Date of Room/Board Withdrawal. For students who live off campus and participate in any board plan, board is prorated based on the number of days between the beginning of the term and the date of the student’s last meal on campus. For students who live on campus and participate in Pick 18, Pick 15, Pick 12, or Pick 6 plans, board is prorated. Unused points are non-refundable. D. Fees

Financial Aid
Institutional Aid Institutional financial aid will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed since the beginning of the term. The date used to figure this is the “Date of Withdrawal.� After 60 percent of the term has passed, no financial aid revisions will be made. Federal and State Aid Federal and state aid will be adjusted according to applicable government organizations. In the absence of any such requirements, aid will be adjusted in the same manner of institutional financial aid. Under special circumstances in which the student for medical reasons or other extenuating circumstances is not able to initiate the withdrawal, the Vice President for Enrollment Management will make appropriate arrangements for billing and refunding.
284 Financial Aid
Financial Aid
As a residential college, Wartburg supports the concept of a socially, culturally, and economically diverse student body and believes this diversity better prepares students for society. The college provides financial aid to enable students from all segments of society to attend. Wartburg believes that students should be able to select a school for academic rather than financial reasons. It admits students on academic and personal promise, not the ability to pay. Financial aid is considered an investment in students as contributors to the college and society. Wartburg’s commitment to students will continue throughout their four-year academic career. (The longevity of institutional funding for transfers will be prorated based on their class status upon enrollment at Wartburg.) Institutional funding to fulltime students will not be reduced, provided their family situations remain the same and required maintenance criteria is met. All institutional scholarships and grant funds apply to tuition and are renewable for a maximum of eight terms. Students applying for need-based programs submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If students or parents are selected for verification by the federal government, the Financial Aid Office will request copies of parent and student tax forms and completion of the verification worksheet. Most financial aid funds come from the federal government, the State of Iowa, Wartburg College, and private donors. Each aid program has specific eligibility requirements. In general, all students must meet the following requirements to receive financial assistance through Wartburg College: • Be enrolled on a full-time basis—a minimum of three courses each Fall Term and Winter Term. • Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen for federal assistance. • Be admitted to Wartburg as a degree-seeking student. • Maintain satisfactory academic progress. • Meet eligibility requirements for each of the aid programs accepted. • Not be in default on any educational loan or owe a refund for a grant. • Demonstrate financial need or meet special scholarship requirements.
Financial Aid 285
• The financial aid award is subject to the availability of expected federal and state funds. Financial aid is available for international students through the Loret Ruppe International Student Scholarship and other sources. Some matching grants are awarded to students sponsored through government and educational foundation programs. After one year of study at Wartburg, international students are eligible for funded and endowed scholarships. After completing nine, 18, and 27 course credits at Wartburg, international students who participate in two or more campus activities and achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above may compete for a High Performance Scholarship of up to $2,000. Requests should be made in writing to the Director of Financial Aid. Students participating in Venture Education Programs are eligible for Wartburg College financial aid. Tuition Remission and Tuition Exchange may not be used to study abroad. Applications for need-based financial aid should be received prior to March 1 of the preceding academic year. Priority is given to students who apply by March 1 and have high qualifications, financial need, and leadership potential. Students from Iowa should also note the July 1 deadline for the Iowa Tuition Grant. Financial aid award letters are sent on a rolling basis, as files are complete, starting March 15. Many Wartburg financial aid programs are listed on the following pages.
Wartburg College Scholarships and Grants Regents and Presidential Scholarships Last year Wartburg awarded nearly 700 Regents and Presidential Scholarships valued in excess of $7.1 million. Awards range from $9,000 to full tuition. Wartburg evaluates merit based on a combination of a student’s high school grade point average, class rank, and ACT/SAT score. Typically, students who have a high school minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5, AND rank in the top 25 percent of their high school class, AND have an ACT composite score of 22 (1020 SAT) or higher will receive a Regents or Presidential Scholarship. Students who qualify and choose to participate in one of Wartburg’s Scholarship Days have the opportunity to increase their Regents or Presidential Scholarship.

These standards do not apply to transfer students carrying a GED. GED students who are transferring to Wartburg from another institution will follow the transfer student guidelines for admission.
Transfer Student Wartburg welcomes qualified students who have earned credit at another institution and who wish to continue study. Careful academic planning usually allows transfer students to graduate within the normal period. Transfer students who apply for admission are considered on the basis of probable success.

Admission 293
Returning Student After withdrawal for a term (not including Summer Term), students must seek readmission with the Vice President for Enrollment Management.

Nondiscrimination Wartburg College does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, sex, color, national origin, sexual orientation, or handicap in admission, employment, programs, or activities. Persons having inquiries regarding compliance with Title VI, Title IX, or Section 504 may contact Peter Nash, Affirmative Action Officer, Wartburg College, 100 Wartburg Blvd., P.O. Box 1003, Waverly, Iowa 50677-0903, or the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education.
294 Admission
Facilities Access Although certain facilities are not fully physically accessible to handicapped persons, Wartburg College will take such means as are necessary to ensure that no qualified handicapped person is denied the benefits of, excluded from participation in, or otherwise subject to discrimination because facilities are physically inaccessible to or unusable by handicapped persons. The accessibility standard required by federal law for “existing facilities” is that the college’s program or activity, when viewed in its entirety, must be readily accessible to handicapped persons. Wartburg may meet this standard through such means as reassignment of classes or other services to accessible locations, redesign of equipment, assignment of aids, alteration of existing facilities, and construction of new accessible facilities. Wartburg is not required to make structural changes in existing facilities where other methods are sufficient to comply with the accessibility standard described above. Because scheduling classes and arranging housing in accessible facilities may require reasonable advanced planning, handicapped students should identify themselves to the Dean of Students within 30 days of acceptance for admission and indicate the type of accommodation they need.
Learning Disabilities Students are encouraged to identify any learning disabilities that may affect their ability to be successful at Wartburg College. In order to provide special classroom accommodations, Wartburg requires a copy of an evaluation by a licensed psychologist or learning specialist who has been trained and licensed to evaluate learning disabilities. This evaluation should include the tests given, scores received, a suggested course of action for the individual student, and recommendations for the classroom. The evaluation should have taken place within three years of its submission to Wartburg and be on file with the Dean of Students and the Pathways Associate for Testing and Disability Services. The Pathways Associate for Testing and Disability Services will work with students to make a referral for testing if the students have not been seen by a psychologist or learning specialist. Expense of the testing is the student’s responsibility. All documentation should be sent to the Student Life Office and the Pathways Associate for Testing and Disabilities. The Pathways Associate for Testing and Disabilities will work with the student to determine the appropriate notification of faculty and staff as needed. Support and assistance are available through peer tutors in the Supplemental Instruction program and in the Writing Center. Other informal and personal support is available as needed to learning disabled students through the Dean of Students Office.
