Something to keep in mind
Although this CATALOG is not a textbook, you will refer to it often during
your university career. It describes the academic program you select and the
requirements you must fulfill to graduate. Before you enroll at Southern or
register for any succeeding
semester, you should satisfy
yourself that you are familiar
with this catalog.
Two important parts of your
academic life are General
Education and your field of
concentration. You will find
it especially valuable to read
carefully the sections of the
catalog that explain these
programs.
Every attempt has been made
to prepare this catalog so
everyone may understand it,
but some of the information
may still be confusing to you.
Also, because changes may
occur in your program
requirements, you may
encounter contradictions between this catalog and advice that you later
receive. Talk to someone about the sections of this catalog that are not clear.
The first person to talk to is your academic adviser. You may also find help
from the chair/dean of your department/school. It may be necessary to visit
with the Director and Assistant Director of Records and Advisement. The Vice
President for Academic Administration is also available to assist you. If you
need explanations about financial questions, talk with the Director or Assistant
Director of Student Finance.
Remember that you are the one who selects your program of study and it is
your responsibility to know the graduation requirements and meet them.
Do not lose this catalog. It is your "university mantial."

This Is Southern
Adventist University
Southern Adventist University is a co-educational institution established by the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Mission
Southern Adventist University, serving local, national, and international
constituents, provides learning in a Christian environment where all are
encouraged to pursue truth, wellness, and a life of service.
Core Values
• A Christ-centered campus
• Academic and professional excellence in a distinctive Seventh-day
Adventist environment— theologically, socially, morally, and intellectually
• Demonstrated hospitality and service
• Affordable education
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The purpose of higher education in the Seventh-day Adventist Church is rooted
in a comprehensive theological understanding of humanity in the world. The
following is a summary of this understanding:
(1) Seventh-day Adventists believe that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the
earth and its inhabitants. He is the Source of all knowledge.
(2) Created in the image of God for the purpose of communion with Him,
mankind possessed harmonious physical, mental, spiritual, and social
attributes.
(3) As a result of sin, these attributes were seriously marred, but God in His love
provided a redemptive plan for the restoration of His image in humanity, thus
preparing individuals for eternal personal fellowship with God.
In the context of this theological understanding, education is viewed as an
essential element of redemption, including an awareness of each individual's
relationship to God and a commitment of service to mankind. Education,
consequently, must focus on developing the whole person. Southern Adventist
University attempts to provide a spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical
environment which encourages this development through the following specific
objectives.
Spiritual
The spiritual goal of Southern Adventist University is to enable students to grasp
Christian beliefs and values as understood by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Southern Adventist University is operated by the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
This Is Southern Adventist University 7
Along with three hours of mandatory religion course work for each year of
attendance, students have religious convocations and various opportunities for
Christian fellowship and service to help them better internalize these ideals.
Intellectual
The intellectual goal of Southern Adventist University is to help students
confront the ideas and values which underlie civilization. Course requirements
and general education options aim at broadening and deepening the students'
outlook. An honors program challenges the most capable students, while
academic awards recognize a range of scholarly achievements.
Occupational
The occupational goal of Southern Adventist University is to prepare students
for service in a practical world. Although that does not always mean specific
career orientation, the major and minor course work offers useful competencies
as well as skills related to specific vocations.
Social
Regarding the relationship of individuals to society, the goal of Southern
Adventist University is to encourage students to attain the social maturity
necessary for successful family and community living. Southern Adventist
University provides activities and courses aimed at developing healthy
interpersonal relations, communication skills, and decision-making abilities. This
goal includes a commitment by the University to involve its students and staff in
service activities which benefit both its regional constituency and local
community.
Physical
Regarding personal health, the goal of Southern Adventist University is to
educate students to be active in promoting their own physical well-being. Southern
Adventist University is smoke-, alcohol-, and drug-free by policy, and the cafeteria
offers a meatless diet. Health-oriented courses and activities combine to encourage
a balance of exercise, rest, diet, study, work, and recreation.
HISTORY
In 1892 the educational venture that developed into Southern Adventist
University had its beginning in the small village of Graysville, Tennessee. The
school became known as Graysville Academy, in 1896 the name was changed to
Southern Industrial School and five years later to Southern Training School.
In 1916, because of limited acreage available for further expansion of plant
facilities, the school was moved to the Thatcher farm in Hamilton County,
Tennessee. The name "Collegedale* was given to the anticipated community. At
its new location, the school opened as Southern Junior College and continued as
such until 1 944 when it achieved senior college status and the name was changed
to Southern Missionary College. In 1982 the name was changed to Southern
College of Seventh-day Adventists.
In 1996 graduate studies were added to the curriculum and the name was
changed again, this time to Southern Adventist University.
8 This Is Southern Adventist University

ADMISSION OF TRANSFER STUDENTS
Students wishing to transfer to Southern Adventist University from another
accredited college or university must follow the same application procedure as
other students. Transfer credits may be applied toward the requirements for a
degree when the student has satisfactorily completed a minimum of twelve
semester hours in residence. Credit by examination taken at other colleges will be
accepted according to Southern Adventist University standards (see 'University
Credit by Examination* in the Academic Policies section of the catalog on page
47). A maximum of 72 semester hours may be accepted from a college where the
highest degree offered is the associate degree. Background deficiencies revealed
by transcripts and entrance examinations will be given individual attention.
Credit will be granted for courses taken at institutions which are not regionally
accredited only after the student has completed at least 16 semester hours at
Southern Adventist University with a 2.00 or better average. Transfer courses that
are comparable to Southern Adventist University courses may be recorded with
an earned grade of *D* or better in general education and a *C* earned grade for
a major.
A student who has been dismissed from another institution because of poor
scholarship or citizenship, or who is on probation from that institution, is not
generally eligible for admission until he can qualify for readmission to the
institution from which he has been dismissed. Transfer students must submit both
their college and high school official transcripts to the Admissions Office before
being admitted to registration. All transfer students must show evidence of ACT
(American College Test) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) prior to registration at
Southern Adventist University unless the transfer GPA is 3.00 or above.
ADMISSION OF SPECIAL STUDENTS
Mature individuals who do not meet the above University admission require-
ments and who do not wish to become degree candidates, or otherwise qualified
students who may desire limited credit for transfer to another institution of higher
learning, may register as special students. A special student may enroll for a
maximum of five semester hours per term.
ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
An international student applying to Southern Adventist University must have
completed the equivalent of a United States high school (secondary) education.
The student is required to list only the institutions and dates attended on the
application forms, but will not be accepted to Southern Adventist University until
the University has received original records or official copies of all credits,
degrees, diplomas and other credentials, with validation by school or national
officials. These should be in the original language, accompanied by a translation
(not an interpretation) in English, and certified by an American Embassy official if
possible.
Admissions 13
Students from countries which administer the G.C.E. (General Certificate of
Education) examinations must have earned five (5) or more *0* level academic
subject passes (generally at one sitting, with marks 1 through 6 or A through D).
Subjects must include English, a natural science, and three others selected from
a second language, mathematics, science, and social studies.
Proficiency in English, both written and oral, must be proven before admission.
This may be done by taking: (1) the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
paper-pencil test; (2) the TOEFL Computer Based Test (CBT). Students whose
TOEFL score is 550 (CBT 21 3) meet the official admission level, but students with
scores between 450 and 549 (CBT 133-212) may be admitted only on condition
that they will enroll for special English language proficiency classes. These
students must enroll as special advisees of the English Department which
administers the language classes. Students whose TOEFL scores are below 450
(CBT 1 33) are not eligible for admission to the University. The ESL adviser will
retest all students who arrive without TOEFL scores or who do not meet the above
criteria. (Students who present a Michigan test score for admission to the ESL
program will be placed accordingly. See criteria for placement.)
All ESL students on F-1 visas must register for no fewer than 1 2 credit hours;
therefore, ESL students in the Intermediate level will register for a minimum of 12
credit hours: 10 credit hours in the ESL program and 2-3 credit hours in a course
designated by the ESL adviser in the English Department. ESL students in the
Advanced level will register for a minimum of 12 credit hours: 7 credit hours in
the ESL program and 5-6 hours in courses designated by the ESL adviser in the
English Department in consultation with an adviser in the student's concentration.
For details, see the English Department sections of the catalog.
In addition to the regular University expenses, there are other expenses for an
international student. (Please refer to the Financial Information section of the
catalog.)
According to the current immigration laws, international students with student
visas may work on campus provided that employment is available, and provided
that the student is enrolled in a full course of study (minimum of 12 hours) for
each semester in attendance and is making progress to the completion of a degree.
On-campus employment is limited up to 20 hours per week when there are
regular classes held. Such employment may be full time (up to 40 hours per week)
during school vacation periods provided that the student intends to register for the
subsequent academic semester. The Human Resources Office will monitor hours
worked and notify the student and the campus employer when a student works in
excess of 20 hours per week. Spouses may work only if they have student visas
of their own or have immigrant visas.
International students on non-immigrant visas are required by law to secure
permission before accepting any off-campus employment.
International students should not leave their homeland until they have in their
possession:
1 . An admissions letter of acceptance from Southern Adventist University
2. I-20 form (Immigration and Naturalization Service)
3. A valid passport
4. A valid visa to enter the United States
14 Admissions
5. Sufficient funds for the first year at Southern Adventist University (in addition
to the international security deposit of $3,000 U.S. required of all non-U.S.
citizens except for citizens of Canada and Bermuda).
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT
Students majoring in business and management should refer to the School of
Business and Management for requirements pertaining to the admission into the
School.
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF COMPUTING
Students majoring in computer science should refer to the School of
Computing for requirements pertaining to the admission into the School.
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY

ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC
Students majoring in music should refer to the School of Music for require-
ments pertaining to the admission into the School.
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF NURSING
Students applying to nursing courses as freshmen or as transfer students
should refer to the Nursing section of the catalog for admission requirements.
ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF RELIGION

EXTENSION CLASSES
Extension classes are university classes offered on the campuses of Southern
Union academies as an opportunity for seniors to earn university credit in skills
areas that will fulfill part of the General Education requirements at Southern
Adventist University. Instructors are academy teachers who are qualified with
appropriate credentials and experience.
To enroll in an extension class, students must be members of the senior class
with a grade point average of 3.00 or above during the years of their secondary
education.
The extension classes must duplicate as nearly as possible their university
counterparts in content, degree of difficulty, testing and grading. The use of formal
Advanced Placement (AP) courses may be used where such are available.
Academies that would like to participate in this program must contact the
Academic Dean to make application.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION
♦ Prospective students should request application forms from the Office of
Admissions or can apply on the Internet at www.southern.edu.
♦ Completed applications should be returned to the Office of Admissions with an
application fee of $25.
♦ It is the student's responsibility to request any former schools (high school and
Admissions 15
college) to forward transcripts to the Office of Admissions in support of the
application. These will become the property of the University. NO TRAN-
SCRIPT WILL BE ACCEPTED DIRECTLY FROM AN APPLICANT.
♦ Students transferring from another college or university must show evidence
of ACT (American College Test) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) prior to
registration at Southern Adventist University unless the transfer GPA is 3.00
or above.
♦ Upon receipt and evaluation of the application, transcripts of credits, recom-
mendations, and test scores, the Admissions Office will notify the applicant of
the action taken.
WHEN TO APPLY OR REAPPLY
New students are urged to submit applications no later than the last term of the
senior year of high school. Applications submitted at the beginning of the senior
year will sometimes enable the University to suggest ways of strengthening the
student's preparation. Because of the difficulty sometimes encountered during the
summer months in obtaining necessary transcripts, test scores, and recommenda-
tions, more time will be necessary for processing late applications.
A student must reapply, through the Office of Admissions, if they have been out
of school for one semester or longer. The regular application fee of $25 will be

provided for students, generally in connection with the weekly convocation
program. The cost of admission for students is included in the tuition.
CONVOCATION
Convocation exercises in the residence halls and for the entire student body

church services assist in the spiritual growth of the students. Students are required
to attend these services regularly. Failure to do so will jeopardize the student's
current status and readmission privileges.

in program planning and give advice and guidance on academic questions
throughout the school year. Students may also seek counsel concerning academic
or personal problems from any member of the faculty.
Students with personal problems who wish assistance from a professional
counselor should contact the Counseling and Testing Center. Personnel trained in
counseling and testing are available to those with social and personal problems.

HEALTH SERVICE
The Health Service is directed by a nurse practitioner under the supervision of
a physician and the vice president for Student Services. The nurse practitioner
works during the day and two live-in registered nurses take turns being on-call
during the evenings, nights, and weekends for emergencies. The physician will
see students at Health Service at pre-arranged times. To maximize healthcare for
all students it is the normal procedure for the nurse to see students at Health

Health Service is available to all students and student dependents ages 1 2 and
above who are on school insurance.
An infirmary is available to all residence hall occupants at no charge. Visits for
minor illnesses or injuries, wound care, blood pressure checks, and equipment

or health care plan. All students living in a residence hall or other student housing
must purchase the insurance unless waiving the coverage. Those taking less than

or more who has not signed a waiver form will be automatically enrolled in the
plan. A policy brochure describing benefits, terms, and limits is available from the
Risk Management department.

REHABILITATION ACT (1973) Section 504: Services for Students
with Special Needs
Students with a disability should contact the Center of Learning Success (CLS)
located on the second floor of the McKee Library (ph. 2574 or 2838). Southern
Adventist University is in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
(1973) and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is dedicated
to the elimination of architectural and prejudicial barriers which prevent any
qualified person from attending. SAU has established the Center for Learning
Success to assist in advocating for reasonable accommodations, however, it does
not assume responsibility for providing accommodations or special services to
students who have not voluntarily and confidentially identified themselves as
having a qualifying disability or to those who have not provided the CLS with
appropriate documentation of their disability. For students who have
dissatisfaction with the University's recommendations, SAU has a formal grievance
process which it will conduct in a fair and unbiased manner. The grievance
process is initiated by contacting the Director of Counseling and Testing (ph.
2783). Detailed copies of this process are available in the Center for Learning
Success.
RESIDENCE HALL LIVING
Living in a university residence hall with its daily 'give and take* prepares the
student to meet life with equanimity, teaches respect for the rights and opinions
of others, and offers first-hand experience in adjusting to a social group. Three
residence halls that serve the needs of our students are: Talge Hall, Thatcher Hall,
and Thatcher South.
To assure students this beneficial experience, the University requires those
students who take more than three semester hours of class work and who are
unmarried, under 23 years of age, and not living with their parents or other
approved relatives in the vicinity, to reside in one of the residence halls. Those
over the age 23 may be asked to find alternate housing either in Student Family
Housing or off-campus.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
The Director of Student Life and Activities plans social activities in consultation
with the Student Activities Committee. Additional social programs are sponsored
during the year by clubs and organizations.
In addition to the Student Association, more than 30 campus organizations
provide opportunities for enrichment, leadership training, and enjoyment. They
include church-related organizations— Campus Ministries; Student Ministerial
Association; clubs related to academic interests sponsored by the departments;
social clubs— Sigma Theta Chi (women), Upsilon Delta Phi (men), Black Christian
Union, Christian Veterans Association and the Latin American Club, and special
interest or hobby clubs.

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
In harmony with the objectives of the University, high standards of behavior are
maintained to encourage the development of genuine Christian character. Mature
Christian students of sound spiritual and social integrity appreciate standards that
elevate and ennoble. Admission to Southern Adventist University is a privilege that
requires the acceptance of and compliance with published and announced
regulations. Only those whose principles and interests are in harmony with the
ideals of the University and who willingly subscribe to the social program as
ordered are welcomed. It therefore follows that since students at Southern
Adventist University receive an education subsidized by the Seventh-day Adventist
Church, those who engage in activities determined to be detrimental to the church
on or off campus will not be knowingly accepted or retained.
A student who is out of harmony with the social policies of the University, who
is uncooperative, and whose attitude gives evidence of an unresponsive nature
may be advised to withdraw without specific charge.
Each student is expected to become acquainted with the standards of conduct
published in the Southern Adventist University Student Handbook. The handbook
includes levels of social discipline and the appeal route. A copy may be obtained
from the office of the Vice President for Student Services. Interim announcements
of policies adopted by the administration are of equal force with those listed in
official publications.
STUDENT ASSOCIATION
Every undergraduate student at Southern Adventist University who is taking
eight or more semester hours of class work is a member of the Student Association
with voting privileges in the election of officers. The association affords
opportunities for leadership development and for cooperation in achieving the
objectives of Southern Adventist University. The association assists the University
administration and faculty in the implementation of policies and assumes
responsibility in giving direction to campus activities entrusted to it. The
association's activities are coordinated and communicated through the Student
Senate and cabinet and their several committees. The activities and responsibilities
of the officers and the detailed organization of the Student Association are outlined
in the Student Association Constitution and Bylaws.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
Southern Adventist University encourages every student to balance work and
study, if a student wants to work, is physically and emotionally able to work, and
has arranged his class schedule to accommodate a reasonable work schedule,

sponsors the production of a variety of media by its students. When exercised in
the spirit of Christian fellowship, responsible freedom of expression and debate of
issues enhances the university community. Editors and producers are encouraged
to express themselves freely within the parameters of the philosophy, standards,
and mission statement of the University.
Student media are the voices of both students and faculty, representing the
visual and creative arts, both in print and non-print formats. The student media
22 Student Life and Services
provides a marketplace of ideas in a university environment. Student media serve
not only the current residents of the campus, but also document the culture and
history of the institution.

GENERAL EDUCATION
General Education is an important part of the student's experience at Southern
Adventist University. The general education structure is designed to provide the
student opportunity to develop those values and competencies that mark an
educated person and prepare him or her for leadership in today's complex society.
While recognizing the validity of many different general education programs, the
faculty of SAU have designed the following sequence that provides development
of academic skills and opportunities for self-fulfillment and conveys basic values
of both the Seventh-day Adventist Church and western civilization. Students may
exercise considerable latitude when selected courses to comply with General
Education requirements. A comprehensive general education test is required of
all baccalaureate seniors.
Writing Across the Curriculum: The Writing Across the Curriculum program at
Southern Adventist University is one of the longest-running programs of its kind
in the nation. The goal of the program is to assist students in developing writing
skills suitable to various disciplines. Such skills will also make students more
competitive in the job market. Thus, candidates for the bachelor's degree must
complete three writing-emphasis classes as outlined in the general education
requirements. These classes are carefully tailored to emphasize personal growth
in writing skills through both spontaneous and planned writing exercises. Students
should also expect writing requirements in courses other than those designated as
writing-emphasis courses.
Community Service: Promotion of voluntary, unselfish service to mankind is a
thread that runs through all programs of study at Southern Adventist University.
Volunteerism, however, cannot be mandated. It can only be encouraged. Students
at Southern are encouraged to volunteer for community service through
government, philanthropic, cultural, political, church, medical, educational,
environmental, and other organizations and agencies or through individual
projects. Based on nominations from each academic department/school,
Community Service Awards are presented each year at the annual Awards
Convocation to students who have made an exceptional contribution of time and
effort in serving others.

SOUTHERN SCHOLARS (Honors Program):
The honors program is designed for students who bring to their baccalaureate
studies a high degree of motivation and intellectual curiosity. Special projects,
inter-disciplinary studies, and designated honors courses provide a challenging
and intellectually stimulating educational experience. Degrees of depth and
breadth are attained in this experience beyond those normally attained in regular
baccalaureate studies.
The program is administered by an Honors Committee which admits students
to the program and discontinues honors status of those who fail to maintain
minimum program standards. Its members also advise individual Southern
Scholars and continually monitor their progress.
Eligible students will be invited to become Southern Scholars during registration.
Freshmen are eligible if they have a high school GPA of 3.70 or higher. Other
students must have completed at least 31 and at most 62 semester hours
(exceptions may be granted under special conditions) with a cumulative GPA of
3.50 or higher.
To continue as Southern Scholars, students must complete a minimum of twelve
credits each semester and thirty-one credits each calendar year. They must also
enroll in appropriate honors sequence courses, receive a B (3.00) average or
higher in the honors sequence courses and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA
of 3.50. All honors students are expected to graduate within a four-year period
unless extenuating circumstances justify an extension by the honors committee.
Ordinarily, all courses of the honors sequence must be taken in residence.
Limited exceptions may be made by the honors committee in the case of transfer
students. Students already enrolled at Southern Adventist University who wish to
take honors sequence classes at another institution must secure prior approval
from the honors committee.
After completing one year in the honors program, Southern Scholars may
receive a waiver for the cost of auditing one class each semester that they remain
in the program. Once having earned junior status and having finished one year in
the program, Southern Scholars will receive a tuition refund equivalent to one
three-hour class for four semesters if they are enrolled full-time. The *per hour*
rate for a 16-hour class load will be the basis for calculating the refund. Southern
Scholars also receive a 100 percent tuition waiver for Honors Seminar, HMNT 451
and 452. Refer to the scholarship on page 283.

PREPROFESSIONAL CURRICULA
Southern Adventist University offers preprofessional and pre-technical programs
in a wide variety of fields which may prepare students for admission to
professional schools or to enter technical careers. The following nondegree pre-
professional curricula are offered at Southern Adventist University:
Anesthesia Optometry
Dentistry Osteopathic Medicine
Law Pharmacy
Medicine Veterinary Medicine
Detailed requirements for non-degree preprofessional curricula are outlined by
department or in the section on 'Interdepartmental Programs" (See Index).
Associate degrees in Allied Health are available to students who fulfill
preprofessional requirements for programs designated in the Allied Health section.
Because preprofessional and technical admission requirements may vary from one
professional school to another, students should become acquainted with the
admission requirements of their chosen school.
REGISTRATION
Students are expected to register during the scheduled registration periods
designated in the school calendar. Registration is complete only after they have
finished all procedures and returned registration forms to the Records and
Advisement Office. New students are required to participate in the orientation
activities.
40 Academic Policies
Late Registration. Permission to register late must be obtained from the Director
of Records and Advisement. Students failing to register during the scheduled
registration periods will be charged a late registration fee. The course load of a late
registrant may be reduced according to the amount of class work missed. No
student may register after two weeks of the semester have elapsed.
Changes in Registration. To avoid changes in registration, students should
carefully consider the program of courses necessary to meet their objectives. To
avoid subsequent adjustments, a balance should be maintained between the
course load, work program, and extracurricular activities.
To make program changes, students must obtain the appropriate change of
registration voucher at the Records and Advisement Office, obtain the necessary
signatures indicating approval of the change, and return the form to the Records
and Advisement Office. Course changes and complete withdrawals from the
school become effective on the date the voucher is filed at the Records and
Advisement Office. A fee will be assessed for each change in program after the first
week of instruction.
A student may not change from one section to another of the same course
without the approval of the instructor.
A student may withdraw from a class up to two weeks after midterm and receive
a grade of *W* automatically. A student withdrawing from a class after that date
and up to two weeks before the last day of classes will be assigned a grade of *W*
or *WF* by the teacher. The grade for any withdrawal during the final two weeks
of the semester will automatically be *F/
Auditing Courses. With the approval of the department/school, students may
register on an audit basis in courses (other than private lessons) for which they are
qualified. Auditors are to be admitted to classes of limited enrollment only if there
are places after all students who wish to enroll for credit have been
accommodated. Class attendance is expected but examinations and reports may
be omitted. With the approval of the instructor, a student may change a course
registration from audit to credit or from credit to audit only during the first week
of instruction. No credit is given for courses audited, and the cost is one-half of
the regular tuition charge.
Canceled Classes. The Vice President for Academic Administration or a
department/school may cancel a class for which fewer than six tuition paying
students enroll. This policy applies to ordinary classes but not to directed study
courses, private lessons, and other special classes such as special methods of
secondary teaching. Students enrolled in canceled classes should confer with their
advisers to determine alternate means to complete their schedules.
COURSE LOAD
University courses are expressed in semester hours. A semester hour consists of
one fifty-minute class period per week for one semester. Thus, two-semester-hour
classes meet two hours a week and three-semester-hour classes meet three hours
a week. A laboratory period of two and one-half to three hours is equal to one
class period. For every semester hour of credit a minimum of fifteen contact hours
should be scheduled. Final exam periods may count as one contact hour.
Students should expect to study up to two hours outside of class for each fifty-
minute period the class meets. Ideally, a sixteen-semester-hour class load should
Academic Policies 41
require up to 32 hours of study each week by the student. Except by permission
of the Vice President for Academic Administration, a student may not register for
eighteen or more semester hours.
To qualify for a baccalaureate degree in four years, a student must average
between fifteen and sixteen hours per semester. The summer term may be used to
advantage by students wishing to complete degree requirements in less than four
years or by students having to take reduced programs of studies during the regular
academic year. The typical class load during the summer is one three-hour class
per session.
Study-Work Program. It is important that the student adjust the course load to
achieve a reasonable balance in study and work. During registration the student
should confer with his/her adviser in planning the proper balance of study and
work.
In determining an acceptable study-work program, the following will serve as
a guide:
Course Load Maximum Work Load
1 6 hours 16 hours
14 hours 20 hours
1 2 hours 26 hours
10 hours 32 hours
8 hours 38 hours
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Southern Adventist University is committed to assist every student in the area
of academic advisement. Full-time students are assigned an academic adviser from
their major field and are required to consult with their advisers before registering
for classes.
The responsibility of meeting graduation requirements belongs to the individual
student. In planning their schedules all students should carefully follow the
instructions in the catalog, recommendations of their advisers, and reports of
academic progress issued from the Records and Advisement Office. In the event
of a discrepancy between an adviser's word and the catalog, final interpretation
of graduation requirements rests with the Records and Advisement Office.
Seniors must file an application for graduation at the fall registration of their
senior year. Previous to their senior year students should check periodically with
the Records and Advisement office to determine whether they are meeting all
curriculum requirements satisfactorily.
As early as possible in the process of curriculum planning, students who have
chosen a career in teaching should consult the Teacher Certification Officer
regarding the requirements for teaching credentials.
GRADING SYSTEM
Southern Adventist University does not have an institutional grading policy.
Teachers use a variety of methods to evaluate students' performance, but the
grades they issue are defined as follows:
A Superior; the student demonstrates exceptional capability in handling course
material
42 Academic Policies
B Above average; the student's demonstrated capability in handling course
material exceeds the expectation of the teacher
C Average; the student demonstrates a satisfactory grasp of course material
which the instructor intends students to learn in the class
D Below average; the student's demonstrated ability to deal with the course
material is less than the teacher intends students to learn
F Failing; the student does not demonstrate sufficient capability with the course
material to merit a passing grade
W Withdrew from the class; is not calculated in the GPA
WF Withdrew Failing; calculated as an *F* in the GPA
AU Audit; no credit
I Incomplete; is not calculated in the GPA
IP In Progress; a temporary passing grade for interrupted course work still in
progress; is not calculated in the GPA
P Pass; is not calculated in the GPA
The Pass/Fail option is available only in Physical Education activity classes
(PEAC). Students enrolling in these classes must make a decision either to receive
a grade of Pass/Fail or a conventional grade before the final grades are
submitted. The decision will be final.
A student may receive an *l* (Incomplete) because of illness or other
unavoidable delay. Students who are eligible for an incomplete must secure from
the Records and Advisement Office the proper form and file the application with
the teacher to receive an incomplete. There is a charge of $10 for processing
grades of incomplete. Any incomplete which is not removed by the end of the
following term (Fall, Winter) will automatically become an "F." A teacher may
assign a temporary "IP* (in progress) when an unavoidable problem prevents the
issuance of a grade.
A course may be repeated before the student takes a more advanced course in
the same field. Only the last grade will be counted on repeated courses. No course
may be repeated more than once without permission from the Vice President for
Academic Administration.
Mid-semester and semester grade reports are issued to the student and parents
of students termed "dependent* for income tax purposes. Only semester grades are
recorded on the student's permanent record. The following system of grading and
grade point values is used:
A 4.00 grade points per hour C 2.00 grade points per hour
A- 3.70 grade points per hour C- 1 .70 grade points per hour
B + 3.30 grade points per hour D+ 1 .30 grade points per hour
B 3.00 grade points per hour D 1 .00 grade points per hour
B- 2.70 grade points per hour D- 0.70 grade points per hour
C+ 2.30 grade points per hour F 0.00 grade points per hour
WF 0.00 grade points per hour
The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of grade
points earned by the credit hours attempted.
STUDENT RECORDS
A student's record is regarded as confidential, and release of the record or of
information contained therein is governed by regulations of the federal law on
"Family Educational Rights and Privacy/ Only directory information, such as a
Academic Policies 43
student's name, photograph, address, e-mail address, telephone listing, birthplace
and date, major fields of study, participation in officially recognized activities and
sports, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent
previous educational agency or institution attended, may be released by the
institution without consent of the student unless the student has asked SAU to
withhold such information.
Parents of students termed "dependent* for income tax purposes are entitled to
access to the student's educational records. The law also provides for the release
of information to university personnel who demonstrate a legitimate educational
interest, other institutions engaged in research (provided information is not
revealed to any other parties), and certain federal and state government officials.
A student may inspect and review records and is entitled to challenge the
content of records.
A more thorough explanation of records may be obtained from the Records and
Advisement Office. The Director of Records and Advisement will further explain
and clarify the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to students, parents, or
interested parties upon request.
ACADEMIC HONESTY
Morally and spiritually, Southern Adventist University is dedicated to scholastic
integrity. Consequently, both students and faculty are required to maintain high,
ethical Christian levels of honesty.
Faculty Responsibilities:
1 . Teachers must explain clearly the requirements for assignments, examinations,
and projects, such as "open book," "take home/ or "peer collaboration/
2. Teachers may assume *no collaboration* is the rule unless they state otherwise.
Student Responsibilities:
1. Students assume responsibility to avoid plagiarism by learning the proper
procedures for acknowledging borrowed wording, information, or ideas. Otherwise
students might innocently misrepresent others' material as their own.
2. Students unfamiliar with procedures for citing sources should confer with their
teachers.
3. Students are to assume that all course work is *no collaboration" unless stated
otherwise by the teacher.
Schools/Departmental Policies:
Some departments/schools, because of the nature of their programs, have
additional honesty policies which have the same force as those published here.
Such policies will be presented to students before implementation.
Procedures for Handling Academic Dishonesty:
1 . When a teacher suspects academic dishonesty in some form, such as cheating
or plagiarizing, the teacher must first confront the student with the dishonesty. If the
student and teacher cannot resolve the situation, or if the student's grade will be
affected, then the Vice President for Academic Administration must be consulted.
2. In established instances of academic dishonesty, the usual procedures for the
teacher to follow will be to:
a. Give the student a failing grade on the exam, assignment or project if the
magnitude of either is not sufficient for failing the class.
44 Academic Policies
b. Give the student a failing grade in the class if failing the exam, assignment
or project would constitute failing the class. The teacher will then write up
the incident and state the penalty administered, giving a copy to both the
Vice President for Academic Administration and the student.
3. Two incidents of academic dishonesty make a student eligible to be dismissed
from the University. However, the student may then appeal the action through the
established appeal procedures spelled out in the "Grievance Procedure* section of this
catalog.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL
Any student whose GPA does not meet the criteria for graduation is on
academic probation. The following are four categories of students who are on
academic probation:
1. Students whose Southern Adventist University or cumulative GPA falls
below 2.00. They are not eligible to hold office in any student organization.
2. Entering freshmen whose high school GPA is below 2.00 or if their
composite ACT score is less than 18.
3. Transfer students whose GPA is less than 2.00.
4. Students in baccalaureate programs completing their sophomore year with
a GPA in their major field less than the level required for graduation. For
most degrees the institutional graduation requirement is 2.25, but some
programs may designate a higher GPA.
Students on academic probation are allowed to remain in school but must
demonstrate progressive improvement to meet graduation requirements as well as
comply with the Academic Support Group Program.
The objectives of the Academic Support Group are to help students improve
their study skills and facilitate accelerated development of effective study habits
using a variety of methods and tools. The Academic Support Group Program has
open seminars that meet once a week for six consecutive weeks. One six-week
program will meet per semester. The facilitator will monitor the progress of the
students on academic probation and report the progress to the Academic Dean.
Candidates for a baccalaureate degree must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.00
after 55 semester hours have been attempted. Candidates for an associate or
certificate program must have a GPA of 2.00 before beginning their final semester.
Veterans enrolled for baccalaureate degrees, associate degrees, or certificate
programs must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.00, or they will not
be certified for veterans benefits. Veterans may be certified for repeat of *F* grades
or for a major that requires a specific minimum grade and the grade received was
lower than specified.
Government regulations require all financial aid recipients to maintain
satisfactory academic progress towards a degree as measured both qualitatively
and quantitatively in order to receive financial aid. This requirement applies to the
entire enrollment at Southern Adventist University— even periods during which a
student does not receive financial aid. Failure to comply with this requirement
may result in a student becoming ineligible for financial aid.
This policy defines the minimum standards for eligibility for state and/or federal
financial aid.
Academic Policies 45
Students are subject to academic dismissal if their Southern Adventist
University or cumulative GPA does not reach the levels indicated in the preceding
paragraph or the levels in the following table:
Cumulative Credit Hours Attempted Cumulative Grade Point Average
0-23 1 .50 or above
24-54 1.75 or above
55 or above 2.00 or above
At the end of each semester the Academic Review Committee reviews the
records of students who are subject to dismissal and the Vice President for
Academic Administration will notify students in writing whether or not they may
continue. A student academically dismissed may be readmitted only after
demonstrating maturity and motivation for a university career. The dismissed
student may be required to complete successfully at least one term of college-level
courses at another institution prior to readmission at Southern Adventist
University.
Students receiving financial aid must also meet an academic progress policy set
by the federal government. For further explanation see page 292, "Southern
Adventist University Academic Progress for Federal and Institutional Student
Financial Aid.*
RIGHT OF PETITION
Students who believe there is a valid reason for requesting variance from or
exception to an academic policy stated in the catalog may make a petition to the
Director of Records and Advisement for consideration of their case after obtaining
the advice and signature of the department chair or school dean of their major.
The petition must contain a statement of the request and supporting reasons.
Highly unusual requests will be referred to the Vice President for Academic
Administration. Students will be notified in writing by the Director of Records and
Advisement of the action on petitions. Petition forms are available from the
Records and Advisement Office.
ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Students who believe that their academic rights have been infringed upon or
that they have been treated unjustly with respect to their academic program are
entitled to a fair and impartial consideration of their cases. They should do the
following to effect a solution:
1 . Present the case to the teacher or teachers concerned.
2. If necessary, discuss the problem with the department chair or school dean.
3. If agreement is not reached at this level, submit the matter to the Vice President
for Academic Administration.
4. Finally, ask for a review of the case by the Academic Grievance Committee,
chaired by the Vice President for Academic Administration or his designee and
including three other faculty members and two students selected by the
Academic Affairs Committee. Both the student and the teacher involved in the
case are entitled to appear before the committee or to present a written
statement of the case. The decision of the committee shall be presented in
writing to the individuals involved within three days of the committee meeting
unless a later time is agreed upon by both parties. The decision of the committee
46 Academic Policies
is binding and will be implemented by the teacher involved or the Vice President
for Academic Administration.
ABSENCES
Class. Attendance at class and laboratory appointments is expected. Teachers
prepare an absence policy for each class, which includes an explanation of
penalties, if any, for absences, and the procedure for making up work, if such is
allowed. It is the responsibility of teachers to publish their policies for each class
at the beginning of each semester, but it is the students 1 responsibility to
familiarize themselves with the practices of each teacher from whom they are
taking classes. Generally speaking, teachers will not excuse absences for reasons
other than illness, authorized school trips, or emergencies beyond the students'
control.
Students are not penalized if they incur absences while participating in
school-authorized activities, but they are held responsible for work they miss and
it is their responsibility to initiate arrangements to make up their assignments. One
and one-half absences are given for missing a 75-minute class, two for missing a
100-minute class, etc.
Examination. Because of problems concerning time, expense and fairness, final
examinations will betaken as scheduled in the official examinations schedule. In
the case of illness verified by Student Health Service or a physician, death in the
immediate family, three examinations scheduled consecutively in one day, or four
or more examinations scheduled in one day, a final exam may be rescheduled
upon approval by the teacher and the Vice President for Academic Administration.
The rescheduled examination will be given at a time convenient to the teacher.
When examinations are rescheduled because of three scheduled consecutively
in one day or four in one day, the last examination of the day will normally be the
one rescheduled. Examinations rescheduled for any reason other than those listed
above, may require a fee of $65 per examination. All rescheduling requests will
be made on a form available at the office of the Vice President for Academic
Administration.
Convocation. Convocations are held each Thursday at 11:00 a.m. During
weeks of spiritual emphasis, assemblies are held on Tuesday as well.
Occasionally, assemblies will be held in the evening or may begin at 10:30 a.m.
on Thursday. All students are required to attend 16 assemblies each semester.
Failure to meet this convocation requirement may result in suspension of
registration, Exceptions to the assembly attendance requirement are made by the
Office of Student Services only for legitimate direct work or class conflicts with
scheduled assemblies. Any excuses for absences from convocation must be
approved by the Vice President for Student Services.
A special series of orientation assemblies is scheduled during the fourth
summer session.
LIMITATIONS ON CLASS ATTENDANCE
Classes at Southern Adventist University are open to registered students only.
Information disseminated in the classroom or other places of learning is the
primary product that the University sells, hence visitors may not enter such
gatherings unless they are official guests of the institution with legitimate business
in a classroom or have the permission of the instructor. Visitors who attend classes
may not engage in the discussions of a class unless invited to do so.
Academic Policies 47
Teachers and the institution reserve the right to remove legitimate students from
classes if their behavior threatens the purposes of the class by exceeding the
bounds of normal academic freedom.
Teachers conducting extension classes from other institutions on the Southern
Adventist University campus share the rights spelled out by this policy.
WAIVER EXAMINATIONS
Upon the approval of the department chair or school dean and the Vice
President for Academic Administration, students may obtain a waiver of curricular
requirements by successfully completing a comprehensive examination— written,
oral, manipulative, or otherwise, as determined by the department/school
involved. A fee of $50 per examination is charged.
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
Southern Adventist University offers a program in English as a Second Language
for Intermediate and Advanced level students whose English language skills are
below the official admission level of the TOEFL score of 550 (CBT 213). For
details, see the Admissions and English Department sections of the catalog.
NONTRADITIONAL COLLEGE CREDIT
In addition to credit earned in the traditional classroom setting, Southern
Adventist University accepts credit earned by two other means— challenge
examinations and correspondence courses.
The goals and objectives of the University emphasize not only facts and
concepts but also values and attitudes which are not easily transmitted through
correspondence courses or measured by examinations. These values and attitudes
can best be developed by the student's interacting over a period of time with peers
and teachers committed to moral excellence, critical thinking, and the pursuit of
truth. For this reason, most university credits should be earned through class
participation. However, the University will permit a maximum of one-fourth of the
credit required for a given degree to be earned by these nontraditional means.
University Credit by Examination. The University recognizes three types of
examinations for credit: challenge examinations prepared by a department/school
which must be passed at *B* level or above, approved College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) subject examinations which must be passed at the sixty-fifth
percentile or above, and the Advanced Placement Examinations which must be
passed with a score of three or better.
Not all classes listed in the catalog are open to challenge examinations.
Students must obtain clearance from the department chair or school dean or the
class they propose to challenge before petitioning to earn credit by examination.
Students must also furnish evidence of adequate preparation to challenge a class
before the department chair or school dean assigns a teacher to prepare a
challenge examination. A student may challenge a given course by examination
only once. No CLEP or challenge exam may be attempted after the student has
been enrolled in that course beyond the second week of a semester. No course
may be challenged as part of the last thirty hours of any degree. Grades are
recorded for departmental challenge examinations and scaled scores are recorded
for nationally formed examinations. Permission to take a challenge examination
while in residence must be obtained from both the department chair or school
dean and the Vice President for Academic Administration. A challenge test may
not be taken if the student has audited the class.
48 Academic Policies
Students may earn a maximum of twelve hours of credit by examination in
courses that do not appear in the University catalog if the evaluating tests are
approved by the Academic Affairs Committee.
Credit for challenge and/or validation examinations will not be placed on a
student's permanent record and is, therefore, not transferable until that student has
successfully completed twelve semester hours in residence at Southern Adventist
University.
Fees charged for challenge examination and credit are listed under 'Special
Fees and Charges* in the financial section of this catalog.
Additional information concerning challenge examinations may be obtained
from the Records and Advisement Office or the Counseling and Testing Center.
Correspondence. A maximum of twelve semester hours of correspondence or
extension credit may apply toward a baccalaureate degree program and eight
hours toward an associate degree.
Griggs University, a department of Home Study International, Silver Spring,
MD, is the officially recognized correspondence school. Southern Adventist
University recommends Home Study International for those students needing
correspondence credit and accepts all such credits when the study program is
approved by the University prior to enrollment. The University accepts credits
from correspondence schools which are accredited by NUCEA (National
University Continuing Education Association) on the basis that credits are accepted
from other regionally accredited colleges or universities.
A student will be permitted to carry correspondence work while in residence
only if the required course is unobtainable at the University. Correspondence
courses, whether taken while in residence or during the summer, must be
approved in advance by the University.
Correspondence work may not apply on the upper division requirements of the
major or minor. A minimum grade of *B* must be earned to apply on the lower
division requirements for a major. A course in which the student earned a grade
of *D* or *F* while in residence may not be repeated by correspondence. No
correspondence credit will be entered on the students record until s/he has earned
a minimum of twelve hours in residence with an average of at least *C* Official
transcripts must be in the Records and Advisement Office before a diploma will
be ordered. The graduation date will be the last day of the month after the official
transcript is received.
Practicum and Internships. Suggested departmental/school guidelines for
practicum and internships.
Practicum:
a. A minimum of 50 clock hours per one credit hour.
b. The process of learning a job on a part-time basis.
c. The work may be done at various job sites.
Internships:
a. A minimum of 1 00 clock hours per one credit hour.
b. The application of learning the skills of a job on a full-time basis.
c. The work must be supervised on one job site.
TRANSIENT STUDENT
A Southern Adventist University student acquires transient student status when
s/he is granted permission through the Southern Adventist University Records and
Academic Policies 49
Advisement Office to enroll for automatically transferrable credit at another
accredited institution. The credit that students may transfer must meet Southern
Adventist University criteria for transfer credit and residence requirements.
To receive transient status, a student must:
1. have completed a minimum of twelve hours in residence at Southern
Adventist University and
2. be enrolled simultaneously at Southern Adventist University for a
minimum of three hours of class credit. (This condition does not apply
to summer classes.)
Students may not receive transient status for more than one semester during
which the amount of transferrable credit exceeds the amount of simultaneous
credit earned at Southern Adventist University.
EXTENSION CLASSES
Extension classes are university classes offered on the campuses of Southern
Union academies as an opportunity for seniors to earn university credit in skills
areas that will fulfill part of the General Education requirements at Southern
Adventist University. Instructors are academy teachers who are qualified with
appropriate credentials and experience.
To enroll in an extension class, students must be members of the senior class with
a grade point average of 3.00 or above during the years of their secondary education.
The extension classes must duplicate as nearly as possible their university
counterparts in content, degree of difficulty, testing and grading.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Southern Adventist University makes continuing education credit available
through the Records and Advisement Office. Sponsors of organizations wishing to
offer Southern Adventist University continuing education certificates must
complete the following steps:
1 . Secure approval of the program by
a. applying at the Records and Advisement Office at least two weeks before
conducting the workshop/seminar/conference and
b. submitting with their application the topic of the presentation, an outline of
the presentation, and the name of the presenters) with evidence credentials.
2. File an evaluation of the workshop/seminar/conference following the
presentation. The University will furnish evaluation forms.
3. Participants in continuing education events must pay institutional processing fees
to receive their certificates.
TRANSCRIPTS
Students may obtain transcripts of their academic record upon a written request
to the Office of Records and Advisement. A $5 fee will be charged for all
transcripts requiring one-day service and individual requests requiring an excess
of more than five transcripts. Telephone or E-mail requests from students, and
telephone and written requests from someone on their behalf cannot be honored.
A student may receive an unofficial transcript for evaluative purposes by
applying in person at the Records and Advisement Office. Official transcripts given
directly to a student will be stamped 'Student Copy/ No transcript will be issued
for a student whose account is not paid in full or who is delinquent in payment of
student loans. For further clarification regarding transcripts, diplomas, and test
scores see page 306.

COURSE NUMBERS
Each course number consists of three figures as follows:
HIST 354 . Latin America (C-1), (W) 3 hours
The first numeral indicates class year status as follows:
0— Developmental (no credit)
1— freshman level (lower division)
2— sophomore level (lower division)
3—junior level (upper division)
4— senior level (upper division)
Within a given 100 sequence there is no significance in one course number
being higher than another. For instance, 265 does not necessarily mean that the
course is on a higher level than 235.
Course numbers separated by a hyphen are two-semester courses in which
credit for the first course is a prerequisite to the second [e.g., ENGL 101-102.
College Composition]. However, credit is given for the first semester when taken
alone.
Course numbers that stand alone represent courses of one semester which are
complete units. Course numbers separated by a comma [e.g., HIST 154, 155.
American History and Institutions] represent complete units, either one of which
is counted for graduation without reference to sequence.
Designation in brackets following course titles, [e.g., MATH 103. Survey of
Mathematics (A-2)1 indicates the General Education area and sub-area that the
class fulfills. Classes designated with a *(W)* are writing classes for General
Education credit.
Students may earn credit for a cross-listed course from only one
department/school [e.g. HIST 356 and SOCI 356].
COGNATE COURSES
Required courses related to the major which are not a part of the major are
called cognate courses [e.g., students majoring in Nursing are required to take
Microbiology as a cognate course].

The Allied Health Professions are rapidly growing areas of specialization within
the health care industry. Job openings are plentiful and pay scales are comparable
to other professionals in health care. The department offers a B.S. degree in
Medical Technology and A.S. degrees in a number of Allied Health fields (listed
on pages 56-57).
ASSESSMENT
The Allied Health Department at Southern Adventist University is organized to
coordinate the advising of students who require prerequisite courses for entrance
into a variety of clinical programs in the medical, dental, and health professions.
The programs in this department vary extensively depending on the particular
health career and the requirements of the specific schools which offer the clinical
programs. Southern Adventist University continually monitors the requirements of
these clinical programs and modifies its preprofessional curricula to meet the
changes when they are made. Continual assessment is made essentially by the
advisers in the department who measure their effectiveness by their success in
structuring programs to meet individual student needs and to meet requirements
of the professional school the student will be transferring to. The entrance rate of
students into professional programs is also used to assess adequacy of class
offerings and program requirements.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in medical technology consists of
three years of prescribed study at Southern Adventist University and a 12- to
13-month senior year in a hospital-based medical technology program accredited
by the Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation (CAHEA) of the
American Medical Association. The hospital programs affiliated with Southern
Adventist University are Florida Hospital Medical Center and Andrews University.
Internship in other CAHEA-accredited programs requires prior university approval.
The Medical Technology degree qualifies a person to take a number of national
certifying examinations, including those offered by the Board of Registry of the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) and the National Accrediting
Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). Certified laboratory
professionals work in hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, public health agencies,
private laboratories, pharmaceutical firms, and research institutions.
The curriculum prescribed by Southern Adventist University is designed to meet
the requirements of the University and of CAHEA. Hospitals with clinical programs
may have additional requirements. Students should consult the brochures or
advisers of the specific hospitals for those requirements.
Allied Health 55
Occasionally pr&dental students, pre-medical students, and graduating seniors
in biology or chemistry may wish to become certified Medical Technologists. This
is possible if the student plans courses to fulfill the requirements of the University
and the hospital program.
During the fall semester of the third year, students must apply for admission to
an approved clinical program. Acceptance of the individual student to the senior
year program is determined by the institution offering the clinical program. To be
eligible for admission, a student must complete all of the University course
requirements prior to beginning the clinical year. The overall grade point average
must be acceptable to the University for graduation. Most clinical programs do
not accept students with less than a 2.75 cumulative average on a 4.00 system.
Although clinical acceptances are granted during the junior year, they are
conditional, pending satisfactory completion of the stated admission criteria.
Written information about the affiliated clinical programs is available through
the University medical technology adviser. Acceptance criteria, pre-clinical course
requirements, application procedures, tuition for the senior year, and program
formats may vary at each approved clinical program.

ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE IN ALLIED HEALTH
The Associate of Science degree in Allied Health Professions prepares the
student for admission to professional programs at Loma Linda University, Andrews
University, or other universities. Admission to any professional school is
dependent on meeting the GPA and prerequisite requirements of the individual
school. Students should consult the bulletin of the school of their choice to
ascertain the entrance requirements.
Students who plan to graduate from Southern Adventist University with an
Associate Degree in Allied Health must meet the A.S. degree general education
requirements of SAU as well as the entrance requirements of the clinical program
to which they will be applying.
Applications for transfer to the junior year of colleges offering Allied Health
programs must be made early in the second semester of the final year at Southern
Adventist University. The lowest acceptable grade for courses to be transferred is

PRE-DENTAL HYGIENE
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
Dental hygienists provide preventative dental care and encourage patients to develop
good oral hygiene skills. In addition to carrying out clinical responsibilities such as
cleaning and scaling teeth, hygienists educate patients in ways to develop and maintain
good oral health. Although most hygienists work with individual patients, some
develop and promote community dental health programs. In addition to career
opportunities within dental offices, dental hygienists apply their skills and knowledge
in other career activities including office management, business administration, dental
hygiene education, research and marketing of dental related equipment and materials.
The program below meets admission requirements for Loma Linda University, as well

Dietitians and nutritionists use their knowledge of the principles of nutrition to help
people develop healthy eating habits. Dietitians may be involved in setting up and
supervising food service systems for institutions such as hospitals, prisons, and schools;
and promoting sound eating habits through education and research. Clinical dietitians
provide nutritional services for patients in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, or doctors'
offices. Community dietitians counsel individuals and groups on nutritional practices

PRE-PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
Physician assistants are trained to perform many of the essential tasks involved in
patient care. They take medical histories, perform physical evaluations, order laboratory
tests, make preliminary diagnoses, prescribe appropriate treatments, and recommend
medications and drug therapies. They also treat minor problems such as lacerations,
abrasions, and burns. Physician assistants work in a variety of practice settings and
specialty areas. The most important practice setting is in a physician's office. They also
work at hospitals and clinics. Specialties using PA's are family practice, internal
medicine, general and thoracic surgery, emergency medicine, pediatrics, and various
medical sub-specialties.
The entrance requirements to physician assistant clinical programs vary considerably
from school to school. College credit requirements range from two years of college
level courses to a baccalaureate degree. Prior patient care requirements also range
from being recommended through two years of direct clinical work experience.
Currently, a number of physician assistant programs are in a state of transition.
Entrance requirements for some schools are shifting from one or two years of college
courses to requiring a baccalaureate degree. Southern Adventist University can
structure a course of study to meet the requirements of the specific clinical program to
which a student wishes to apply. Students preparing for a career as a Physician
Assistant are encouraged to obtain a bachelor's degree before applying to a clinical
program.
Additional information on physician assistant programs can be obtained from the
University's pre-physician assistant advisor or by contacting the schools that offer the
clinical programs.
PRE-RESPIRATORY THERAPY
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
Respiratory therapists apply scientific knowledge and theory to practical clinical
problems of respiratory care. The respiratory therapist is qualified to assume primary
responsibility for all respiratory care modalities, including the supervision of respiratory
therapy technician functions. The respiratory therapist may be required to exercise
considerable independent clinical judgement, under the supervision of a physician, in
Allied Health 63
the respiratory care of patients. Respiratory therapy personnel are employed in
hospitals, nursing care facilities, clinics, physicians' offices, companies providing
emergency oxygen services, and municipal organizations.
Southern Adventist University offers a two-year associate degree that provides the
prerequisite courses for entrance into the final two years of the bachelors degree
program at Loma Linda University. The program can be modified to meet requirements
of other schools. For a complete description of Southern's general education

PRE-SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY & AUDIOLOGY
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
Speech-language pathologists identify, assess, and treat persons with speech and
language disorders while audiologists assess and treat hearing impaired individuals.
Because both occupations are concerned with communication, individuals competent
in one area must be familiar with the other. The duties of speech-language pathologists
and audiologists vary. Most, however, provide direct clinical services to individuals
with communication disorders. In speech, language, and hearing clinics they may
independently develop and implement a treatment program. In private medical centers
and other facilities, they may be part of a team that develops and executes a treatment
plan. In schools they may help administrators develop individual or group programs,
counsel parents on prevention of hearing disorders, and assist teachers with classroom
activities.
The program below meets admission requirements for Loma Linda University, as
well as Southern Adventist University's requirements for an A.S. degree. This program can

The study of Biology constitutes one of the most exciting and important fields
of scientific investigation, since it provides a better understanding of ourselves and
the living things around us. Even the casual observer of Biology who pauses long
enough to take a course may derive a lifetime of pleasure and fulfillment from a
hobby such as bird watching, shell collecting, or wild flower photography.
A major in Biology is an excellent starting point for numerous careers which are
both rewarding and challenging. With a degree in Biology, one may pursue
graduate study leading to research in the basic sciences (anatomy, physiology,
ecology, microbiology, cytology, etc.), teaching at the college or graduate level,
or employment in industry or government. A biology degree is also the degree of
choice in preparation for high-school teaching, medicine, dentistry, optometry,
careers in wildlife, forestry or zoo management, health education, public health,
biostatistics, epidemiology, and environmental health, to name a few.
The Biology Department makes available a number of experiences, both
curricular and extracurricular^ to enrich its students' academic programs. The
department offers courses which include field experiences in Indonesia, Canada,
Kenya, Belize, Smoky Mountains, and the Okefenokes National Wildlife Refuge.
The Tennessee Aquarium in nearby Chattanooga provides additional learning
resources. The department is also affiliated with Walla Walla College's Rosario
Beach Biological Field Station {see page 25).
Extracurricular opportunities include membership in the Seta Beta Beta national
biological honor society, a yearly lecture series on natural history and research
topics (see page 24), as well as a premedical preceptorship program (see page
275).
ASSESSMENT
In order to help evaluate its teaching effectiveness and the academic
achievements of its graduates, all seniors are required to pass the ETS Major Field
Achievement Test in Biology during their final semester. The results of these exams
are used by the department staff to evaluate class offerings as well as program
requirements.

Chemistry
Chair: Rhonda Scott-Ennis
Faculty: Brent Hamstra, Bruce Schilling
The Chemistry Department offers classes structured to provide undergraduate
students with the knowledge and skills necessary for distinguished professional
performance in chemistry or other fields that require a strong background in
chemistry. A major in chemistry can be your key to a rewarding and challenging
career in a wide variety of areas such as the basic sciences or industrial research,
pharmacology, toxicology, chemical engineering, forensic chemistry, chemistry
education, medical and paramedical careers. There are also many business
applications such as pharmaceutical and chemical sales, patent research and
patent law, marketing and consulting— to name just a few.
The B.S. degree in Chemistry is recommended in preparation for graduate study
leading to research oriented careers in chemistry, professional applications of
chemistry, or post-secondary education. The B.S. degree in Chemistry,
Biochemistry emphasis, is recommended for students preparing for careers in
medicine or dentistry as well as graduate study, research or teaching in
biochemistry, molecular biology, or biotechnology. The B.A. degree is the
preferred degree for high-school teaching, pre-paramedical fields, and some of the
business applications.
ASSESSMENT
To aid the chemistry department in evaluating teaching effectiveness, nationally
standardized tests prepared by the American Chemical Society are administered
at the end of each course for which an appropriate test is available. The test results
are evaluated, and teaching procedures and methods are changed as needed.
All chemistry majors are required to take COMM 1 35 as part of their general
education program.

The rapidly expanding field of computing continues to demand an ever-
increasing number of technically educated people. The type of computer
education needed also continues to shift. Computer graduates this year will be
taking jobs which were not even available when they entered college four years
ago. Southern Adventist University offers several computer curricula designed to
meet the needs of students desiring to enter the computing field, but coming to the
University with a wide-range of interests and abilities.
The Bachelor/MSE program is offered for exceptional students who wish to
complete both the bachelor degree and the Master of Software Engineering degree
in as little as five years. Students desiring this option should consult with the
School of Computing early in their academic career. After completing 96 semester
credits (normally after six semesters), they should apply for permission to take
graduate courses for graduate credit. Students receiving this permission must meet
all the criteria for admission to the graduate school and MSE program specified in
the graduate catalog except the one requiring an undergraduate degree. They will
be limited to six hours of graduate courses during each of the next two semesters.
During this fourth year, Bachelor/MSE students will still be undergraduate students.
Upon successful completion of at least nine hours of graduate courses, the student
may apply to and be accepted in the graduate school. Bachelor/MSE students
must complete all requirements for the bachelor degree given in the undergraduate
catalog as well as all requirements for the Master of Software Engineering degree
listed in the graduate catalog. There will be no double crediting of courses; i.e.,
credit for a course will either be counted for undergraduate credit or graduate
credit, never both. Students completing the Bachelor/MSE program may receive
both the bachelor degree and the Master of Software Engineering degree at the
same graduation.
The B.S. degree in computer science is designed to prepare for a wide range of
computing professions. Software engineers, software developers, systems analysts,
programmer/analysts, network engineers, database administrators, and data
specialists are among the professions considered computer scientists. These
computing professionals are distinguished by the high level of theoretical expertise
and innovation they apply to complex problems and to the application of new
technologies. This curriculum follows the guideline for computer science degrees
developed by the ACM and IEEE, Curriculum '91 .
The B.A. degree in computer science allows you to combine a computing
degree with a minor or with a major in another academic area offering a B.A., for
instance English, history, or music. This combination is useful in occupations such
as teaching high school.
The B.S. in computer information systems combines classes in computing and
systems management with classes in accounting, economics, and business
administration. With a few years experience you will be equipped to manage a
School of Computing 97
data processing department in a hospital, business, or industry. This program
follows the curriculum developed by ACM, AIS, and AITP, IS '97.
The B.S. in computer systems administration is designed to prepare graduates
who will administer the complex computer systems and networks now common
in the business world. It requires a minimum of programming, mathematics, and
business courses, while concentrating on the technical issues needed to administer
and support modern network computing systems and software. An A.S. in
computer systems administration provides a two-year program designed for entry
level positions in this rapidly growing field.
ADMISSIONS
Admission to the School of Computing is required before graduation with a
major offered by the School of Computing. Declaration as a major is not the
equivalent of acceptance to the School of Computing. Minimum requirements for
admission to the School of Computing are:
1 . Acceptance to Southern Adventist University.
2. Complete general education: ENGL 101 and 102, and MATH 120 or
equivalent.
3. Completion of 6 hours of computer courses required in the major with a grade
of "Q" or better.
4. Earned overall CPA of 2.25 or better.
Students pursuing a major offered by the School of Computing should apply for
admission at the end of the freshman year. Transfer students will be considered
for admission after completing 6 hours of major courses in residence.
SCHOOL OF COMPUTING PROBATION
If a student's GPA falls below 2.25 in either the major or overall, the student
will be placed on School of Computing probation. If the GPA does not improve
to 2.25 by the end of one semester on probation, the student must repeat courses
in an effort to increase the GPA. The faculty of the School of Computing must
approve each probation student's course load before the student may register.
ASSESSMENT
In the spring of the senior year all B.A. and B.S. students in computer science
will be required to take a written two-hour exam. The results of this exam are used
by the School's staff to evaluate class offerings as well as program requirements.
SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY CENTER
The Software Technology Center (STC) is the research center of the School of
Computing. The STC is sponsored in part by the Consortium for the Management
of Emerging Software Technology (Comsoft). Comsoft is funded by major
corporations such as AT&T, IBM, Spring, Allstate, and NBC. The Comsoft
administrative offices are located in the STC.
Object-oriented software technology is an important emerging discipline for
development of complex software systems. The STC staff work closely with the
research and development staffs of major corporations utilizing object-oriented
technology.
98 School of Computing
The STC provides opportunities for students and faculty to work together
researching emerging software technologies. In addition it offers employment for
motivated students to work on advanced software development projects with
major corporations.

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The School of Education and Psychology subscribes to the philosophy that man
was created in the image of God but as a result of willful disobedience sin has
marred his God-given attributes and divine likeness. This philosophy recognizes
that the object of education is also the object of redemption— to restore in man the
image of his maker and bring him back to the perfection in which he was created.
Thus the work of redemption is also the work of education, involving the
development of the whole person— physical, mental, spiritual, and social.
The teacher education and psychology programs in the unit are founded upon
the basic assumption that there is a body of information, research, and practice
that make up the knowledge base for the teaching profession and that acquisition
of this knowledge is a significant part of teachers' and psychologists' preparation.
The unit further confirms the belief that teachers and psychologists should be good
examples in health, intellect, and character.
STATEMENT OF MISSION
The mission of the School of Education and Psychology at Southern Adventist
University is to prepare professional educators and psychologists at both
undergraduate and graduate levels who can function effectively in a culturally
pluralistic society and who are dedicated to assisting students in reaching their
maximum potential in service to God and humanity.
The School of Education and Psychology is approved by the Tennessee State
Board of Education for the preparation of secondary and elementary teachers and
is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE).

ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY MAJORS
The comprehensive assessment of senior psychology majors (including
education students who major in psychology for teacher licensure) takes place
during their last academic year. Students are required to prepare a portfolio. The
portfolio must be completed to have the recommendation of the School for
graduation and will be graded on an Honor, Pass, or Fail basis. Results of student
assessment are evaluated by the faculty with a view to changing course content as
needed.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Admission to Southern Adyentist University does not automatically enroll the
student into teacher education . There are three stages that students must go
through to be fully accepted in the teacher education program.
A. Initial Admission to the Teacher Education Program
Each student accepted at Southern Adventist University who indicated that
teaching is his/her professional objective is assigned an educational program
adviser by the Dean of the School of Education and Psychology in
cooperation with the advisement coordinator in the Records Office. The
advisers assist in planning a student's academic program each year and guide
their advisees through the stages of the Teacher Education Program. Advisers
and advisees should work closely to follow the professional sequence of
courses. Students assume responsibility for making necessary applications,
meeting the requirements, and other relevant deadlines.
During the sophomore year, and after having met the numbered criteria
listed below, the student should file a formal application for initial admission
to the Teacher Education Program. Application forms may be obtained from
the School secretary in Summerour Hall. Transfer students wishing to enter
the Teacher Education Program should file an application after the first year
in residence. Upon application, a file is set up for each applicant containing
relevant information to the student's candidacy. To be initially admitted, all
the following criteria must be met:
1 . Be in residence at the University
2. Show evidence of physical, mental, spiritual and moral fitness
3. Possess an overall grade point average of 2.75 or above
4. Have successfully completed EDUC 1 35 Introduction to Education,
and ENGL 101-102 with a minimum grade of C
5. Possess an enhanced ACT/SAT composite score of 22 OR have
passed all three sections of the PRAXIS I (Pre-Professional Skills Test)
which is the entrance competency test required by the State of
Tennessee. The ACT composite score of 22 or above will EXEMPT
the PPST
6. Have submitted a formal application which includes a short
autobiography in your own handwriting containing anecdotal
information on why you decided to pursue a career in teaching
7. Have obtained recommendations from the Vice President of Student
Services and the student's academic adviser as part of the
application process
8. Have presented a beginning professional portfolio to the Teacher
Education Faculty
114 School of Education and Psychology
Applicants meeting the above criteria are recommended by the
Education faculty to the Teacher Education Council. The student will be
informed in writing as to the status of the application for admission
following the action of the Teacher Education Council.
Candidacy and Retention in Teacher Education
After the applicant has been admitted to the Teacher Education Program,
his/her progress will be reviewed by the Candidacy Committee, consisting
of the adviser, a departmental/school representative, and one elementary or
secondary teacher. As a teacher candidate, the applicant will be given an
opportunity to interact with the Candidacy Committee in a non-threatening
atmosphere. During the interview the candidate can strengthen his/her
commitment to teaching or express his/her concerns and questions about
the teaching profession.
Retention in the teacher education program is contingent on successful
completion of courses attempted and maintenance of the academic standard
required for initial admission to the program. Teacher candidates are
expected to maintain consistent personal representation of the standards
and objectives of Southern Adventist University and the teacher education
program.
Authorization to do Student Teaching
After acceptance into the Teacher Education Program and before the
first semester of the senior year, the teacher candidate must file a formal
application with the faculty of the School of Education and Psychology for
authorization to do student teaching. Application forms may be obtained
from the School secretary in Summerour Hall. A late application may delay
the student teaching experience. Student teaching is regarded as the
culminating experience of the Teacher Education Program.
NOTE: Prior to the professional semester, the student must take and
pass the PRAXIS II licensure exam—both the appropriate section of
the Principles of Learning and Teaching, and the particular specialty
test(s) for the licensure area(s).
The following criteria are considered for each applicant:
1. Completion of all professional education courses
2. Cumulative GPA of 2.75
Major Studies GPA of 2.75
Professional Education GPA of 2.75
3. Evidence of good physical and mental health
4. Adherence to standards and objectives of Southern Adventist
University and the Teacher Education Council
5. Formal application for student teaching at least one
semester in advance
6. Completion and passing of PRAXIS II examinations
7. Proof of current certification in First Aid/CPR
8. Completion of a student teaching interview
9. Presentation of the on-going professional portfolio as part of the
interview process
10. Approval of the Education and Psychology faculty
1 1 . Approval of the Teacher Education Council
School of Education and Psychology 115
Teacher candidates who meet the above criteria are recommended by the
Education and Psychology faculty to the Teacher Education Council. Candidates
are informed in writing as to the status of their application following the action of
the Teacher Education Council.
Advisement
The major goal of the advisement process is to orient the teacher candidate
with the total teacher education program, with major emphasis on its three
components, namely, general education, professional education, and specialty
studies. This is accomplished by the academic adviser as s/he interacts with his/her
advisees during advisement sessions.
APPEAL PROCEDURES
Criteria and standards for admission to teacher education are explicit, but allow
for second chance attempts. Courses may be repeated to raise GPA or students
may follow the Grievance Procedures found under Academic Policies (page 45).
Also, students who do not meet all the criteria required to do Student Teaching
may appeal to the Appeals Committee. The applicant who has to take this
alternative route will be evaluated on the bases of eminence and outstanding
strengths in several other criteria rather than minimal meeting of those criteria.
The Appeals Committee makes recommendation to the Teacher Education Council
who determines the final action. Any applicant who determines to follow this
alternative policy must seek counsel from the Dean of the School of Education and
Psychology.
TEACHER LICENSURE
Licensure and certification are synonymous terms for the process of granting
legal authorization to teach in the public or private elementary or secondary
schools of a state or of the Seventh-day Adventist Church based on meeting
predetermined qualifications. Certification has been established to give
professional status to qualified teachers and to assure school boards and parents
that the teacher is well prepared.
WHO CAN OBTAIN CERTIFICATION?
Every student who successfully completes the requirements for teaching in the
elementary or secondary school and graduates from Southern Adventist University
will receive recommendation for certification based upon the following criteria:
A. Successful completion of student teaching assignments
B. Satisfactory completion of all credential requirements
C. Recommendation of major departments/schools
D. Satisfactory scores on the following PRAXIS II Examinations:
(1) Principles of Learning and Teaching, and (2) appropriate specialty area(s)
Certification is not automatic. The eligible candidate must make the necessary
application to the appropriate union conference for denominational certification
and to the specific state department of education where the candidate expects to
teach. Information regarding certification is available through the Southern
Adventist University certification officer. Since teacher certification regulations are
always in the process of change, graduating teacher education candidates are
urged to make their applications for certification immediately. If the candidate
does not make application within two years for denominational certification, or
116 School of Education and Psychology
within three years for Tennessee State certification, s/he will have to take
additional courses before certification can be issued.
WHAT CERTIFICATES MAY BE OBTAINED?
A. Teacher's Certificate (Tennessee)
A certificate is issued on the basis of a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree
with a major in at least one subject teaching field and the completion of
an approved teacher education program. Satisfactory scores on the
following PRAXIS II Examinations: (1) Principles of Learning and Teaching,
and (2) appropriate specialty area(s) must be obtained.
B. Basic Certificate (SDA denominational)
Required by the Department of Education of the North American Division
of Seventh-day Adventists. This three-year denominational certificate is

REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATION
Candidates for state certification must complete the appropriate teacher
preparation curriculum. This consists of three components: general education,
professional education, and major studies.
A. General Education:
This component represents that portion of the total teacher education
program designed to foster the development of those competencies that
are basic to all life's responsibilities and provide intellectual foundation
in the liberal arts. Students pursuing a teacher education curriculum
must work closely with their advisers for guidance in the selection of
general education courses that are appropriate to their individual needs.
Relevant courses are listed in this catalog under the seven main areas of
the general education requirements, pages 30-33.

♦Pending state approval
Students are to complete the degree requirements as specified by their
chosen major plus the professional education courses as listed under B
above.
D. Miscellaneous Information Relative to Teacher Training:
1 . Because of time commitments during the student teaching experience,
no additional courses may be taken. The Education faculty will
endeavor to provide the opportunity for student teachers to teach in
off-campus student teaching centers. It is expected that any student
h entering student teaching will have completed all other courses.
2. Correspondence credit will be accepted to the extent of one-fourth of
the credit required for the certificate provided that no more than four
semester hours in education are applied on the professional education
requirement. If personal circumstances demand a correspondence
course, a petition must be filed with the School of Education and
Psychology and its approval obtained before registering for the course.
The course must be completed and the grade filed in the Records and
Advisement Office before student teaching is begun.
3. A major is not always required for additional endorsements. A minor
may be acceptable as a second field for SDA certification.
4. Students should contact the School of Education and Psychology for
information on specific requirements in the area(s) of endorsement
sought.
NOTE: The Teacher Education Program at Southern Adventist
University is being constantly refined to meet any and all North
American Division; NCATE, and/or State of Tennessee's changing
118 School of Education and Psychology
and mandated licensure requirements for teacher preparation. As a
result, changes may occur in the course offerings and in the program
requirements for students preparing to become teachers.
Teacher education students must meet any and all such additional
requirements mandated by NAD, NCATE, or the State of Tennessee,
even though such changes may not be listed in the Teacher
Education programs in the particular catalog under which the
student entered, and students should stay in contact with the School
of Education and Psychology to be aware of any changes that may
affect them.

ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATION MAJORS
Final assessment of senior Education majors takes place during their full
semester of student teaching. It involves continuous monitoring of the student's
classroom performance in both verbal and written feedback. Senior assessment
consists of two phases.
Phase One, Formative Evaluation, consists of ongoing monitoring and
feedback. The cooperating teacher conducts informal conferences as well as a one-
hour weekly formal conference providing anecdotal records. The Southern
Adventist University Formative Evaluation Form is completed by the University
supervisor and the cooperating teacher.
Phase Two, Summative Evaluation, is completed by both the cooperating
teacher and the University supervisor. The instrument used to record the student's
skills and behaviors is the Southern Adventist University Summative Evaluation
Form . The student teacher is also evaluated by his/her students when they
complete the Pupil Evaluation of the Student Teacher . A self-evaluation is
completed by the student through a video-taped lesson. The student and the
University supervisor critique his/her videotaped performance.
The final letter grade for the student's performance is decided by the Education
Faculty. Failure to complete student teaching with a satisfactory grade of C or
above results in students being reassigned for an additional practicum.
Graduate follow-up is carried out through the Southern Adventist University
Teacher Education Evaluation instrument completed by the first-year teacher. The
Supervisor Evaluation of Southern Adventist University Graduates is completed by
the student's employer. Feedback from these instruments is used by the School of
Education and Psychology staff to make necessary program changes.
In addition to the above, education students obtaining a psychology degree
must fulfill the assessment procedures listed on page 111.

Engineering Studies
Engineering Studies Committee:
Henry Kuhlman (Chair), Ken Caviness, John Durichek
Southern Adventist University Physics Department offers the first two years of
a baccalaureate degree in engineering. Upon completing the two-year engineering
studies program, students transfer to the Walla Walla College School of
Engineering, with which Southern Adventist University is affiliated, for the final
two years. Southern Adventist University awards an Associate of Science degree
in Engineering Studies. Walla Walla College, located in Washington State, awards
a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with concentrations in civil, electrical,
and mechanical engineering and a pre-professional Bachelor of Science degree in
bioengineering.
The WWC School of Engineering offers a high quality program that is fully
accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology— the only
nationally recognized organization which accredits engineering programs. It has
an enrollment of approximately 250 students, many of whom are transfer students
from affiliated Seventh-day Adventist colleges or universities.
The Southern Adventist University affiliation with Walla Walla College makes
the transition to the final two years of the baccalaureate engineering program
essentially the same as if the first two years were taken there. Even though transfer
to Walla Walla College is simpler than to a non-affiliated school, the Southern
Adventist University engineering studies program is compatible with baccalaureate
engineering programs of many colleges and universities.
ASSESSMENT
The engineering studies program is designed to parallel the first two years of
the baccalaureate engineering degree at Walla Walla College. It is regularly
assessed by means of one or two campus visits each year by engineering faculty
from their College of Engineering.

The English Department offers two categories of classes that view man's search
for truth and its most convincing expression through a Christian perspective.
Language courses aid students in developing ease, confidence, and competence
in the art of effective communication and in acquiring knowledge of the science
of language; literature courses develop the ability to discern and appreciate the
best literary works.
Students majoring or minoring in English must meet the specific requirements
of the English Department (below) and the General Education program (pages 30-
33). For the English major, intermediate foreign language is required. College
Composition does not count toward an English major or minor, but students
majoring or minoring in English must earn a grade of C or higher in College
Composition. English majors will demonstrate computer competence by using
word processing to complete the 3-hour written assessment exam. The nine upper
division literature classes are all W courses and hence require word processing
skills. Also, ENGL 305 Advanced Grammar, ENGL 315 Introduction to
Linguistics, and ENGL 430 Library Materials for Young Adults all depend on
internet resources.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Department of English is to provide general education
students with basic communication and literary analysis skills in a Christian
context, to offer support services for students needing help with their writing, and
to prepare English majors for graduate school and/or the job market.
ASSESSMENT
As part of a departmental assessment process, senior English majors take a
written exam and do a written evaluation of departmental programs. Results
provide information used to improve departmental programs; graduation eligibility
is not affected. Majors are informed about the purpose and nature of these
assessment activities when they enter the English program.

History
Chair: Benjamin McArthur
Faculty: Mark Peach, Dennis Pettibone
Adjunct Faculty: Craig Hadley
History is the study of the human experience. It investigates mankind's ideas,
institutions, and activities. In pursuing this investigation, history courses at
Southern Adventist University emphasize the Christian view of humanity. This
perspective recognizes both the potential and the limitation of human endeavor
and thereby permits a broader comprehension of the past and a greater hope for
the future.
Approval of study programs for history majors. Departmental approval is
necessary for all programs. A student majoring in history must plan his/her entire
study program with a member of the history faculty. Approval is then considered
on an individual basis and is granted on the following conditions:
1 . Compliance with graduation requirements as explained elsewhere in the catalog.
2. Fulfillment of the professional and individual needs of the student.
3. Embodiment of academic balance and continuity.
4. Completion of senior year assessment.

Assessment of seniors consists of two parts. First, in the spring semester of their
senior year students will take the ETS Major Field Achievement Test in history.
Second, at the beginning of the fall semester seniors will take a departmental
exam. Preparation for this exam will constitute a one-hour independent study
course involving: 1) reading a selected few classics of historical literature; 2)
reviewing one's history course work utilizing several thematic questions provided
by the history faculty. The subsequent examination will be in the form of a one-
hour interview of the candidate by the history faculty. This will be based on the
above mentioned materials and also on the student's portfolio of major papers
accumulated during his/her history course work. The oral examination is graded
on an Honors, Pass, or Fail basis. A failure requires further preparation by the
student and another interview before graduation.

Upper-division history classes seek to improve skills of writing and speech. All
such classes require analytical writing as part of the course work. Additionally,
many classes involve discussion and oral class reports as partial basis for the
student's grade, most notably HIST 499, Research Methods in History, which
requires an extended formal presentation of student research.
History majors must display the ability to apply computer usage to their
discipline in two ways: first, a facility with word processing; and second, by a
facility in accessing information via the Internet.

HIST 1 75 World Civilizations 3
The additional twelve hours will be chosen from remaining history courses, six
hours of which must be upper division. A minimum of three hours must be chosen
from each of the American and European areas. Three hours of political science
may be taken in lieu of three hours of history. A student planning to minor in
history in order to obtain a second teaching area for denominational certification
must take 22 hours (1 8 hours in history courses) and must include HIST 1 54, 1 55,
1 74, 1 75, PLSC 254, and GEOG 204 or PLSC 224.
Minor— Political Economy (18 Hours)
Combines an interdisciplinary selection of courses helpful for law school
preparation. For a further description of this pre-law preparation program, see page
275.
144 History
Minor— Political Science (18 Hours)
This minor provides opportunity for students to gain practical experience in
governmental work as part of an academic program. There are two types of
internships for the minor: a Washington D.C. internship supervised by Columbia
Union College; and a Tennessee State legislative internship in Nashville. Either
internship will give intensive exposure to state or federal government or public
advocacy work. There are also opportunities to work in a religious advocacy
organization in the nation's capital with the CUC program.
The Political Science minor is an 18-hour program, 9 or 12 hours of which
(depending on whether a summer or semester-long internship was taken) would
consist of the internship credit. The balance of the minor would require:
1 . PLSC 254 American Government
2. 3 to 6 hours of other PLSC courses
For more details on the program, see the History Department chair.
History as a preprofesslonal degree: A student majoring in history who plans
to enter a professional school in an area such as medicine or law must present a
balanced program of general education classes and electives that will support the
professional objectives.
History as a preparation for teaching: A student majoring in history who plans
to prepare for secondary teacher certification must include six hours upper
division Political Science in the major and must also take PLSC 224, 254; and
GEOG 204. It is strongly recommended that the student also earn teaching
credentials in a field outside of history. No specific supporting field is required but
art, behavioral science, business, English, modem languages, and religion are
recognized as intimately related to the study of history. A student may receive
denominational certification to teach history as a second area by completing a
minor in history (see under Minor below). Since the entire second semester of the
senior year is devoted to certification requirements, students earning teacher
certification must finish all history class work before reaching the final semester.
Students applying for teacher certification must consult with the School of
Education and Psychology to draft a schedule of classes meeting certification
requirements.
The student must apply for Initial Admission to the Teacher Education Program
(usually by the end of the sophomore year) after completing all requirements as
outlined under ADMISSION PROCEDURES in the School of Education and
Psychology section of the catalog. Initial admission is required before the student
can enroll in upper division education courses.
The student must also complete an application and all other requirements for
Admission to Student Teaching. Prior to the professional semester, the student
must take and pass the PRAXIS II licensure exam— both the appropriate section of
the Principles of Learning and Teaching, and the particular specialty test(s) for the
licensure area(s).
History Department tours: The Department of History regularly sponsors study
tours to foreign countries. The purpose of these tours is to provide students and
other participants with an enhanced understanding of history and culture through
a combination of traditional lecture and reading with direct observation of
historical sites. Academic activities connected with the tours require students to
History 145
spend an amount of time equal to that expected in a regular classroom setting.
Preparatory meetings and assigned reading are included in this computation.
Course credit is offered under HIST 295/495 Directed Study in History. Cost of the
tours includes charge for academic credit.
History as general education: Freshman and sophomore students earning
general education credit in history should take courses from the 100 and 200
level. Junior and senior students meeting general education requirements in history
should select courses from the 300 and 400 level.

Interdisciplinary
The student-designed major is an interdisciplinary program available to any
student who wishes to develop a more individualized program of study than those
provided by existing majors. It is a coherent program of study that crosses
disciplinary lines. One of the major disciplines must be chosen as the primary
discipline to provide a coherent focus for the major. In planning the
interdisciplinary major, the student selects an advisory committee of three faculty
members, two from the primary discipline (including the department/school chair
or dean) and one of the secondary disciplines. The Associate Vice-President of
Academic Administration also serves on the advisory committee.
All students interested in developing an interdisciplinary major or in applying
to the major must meet with the Associate Vice-President of Academic
Administration. The requirements are intended to ensure that the interdisciplinary
major is integrally related to the goals of a liberal arts education and appropriately
reflect the disciplines involved. Each course of study is approved only on a case-
by-case basis.
Interdisciplinary major is a privilege granted by the University to students who
display unusual motivation to study an area not included among its degree
programs. Although the individual student is responsible for the design and
planning of the program, he or she must fulfill the following requirements:
1. Completion of general education requirements (including the intermediate
level of a foreign language for B.A. degree).
2. The advisory committee must approve the admission to the major.
Applications must be made no later than fall semester of the junior year. An
applicant should have a minimum grade point average of 3.50. Continuation
in the program requires a grade point average of at least 3.30 each semester.
3. Majors will be approved only where university faculty and courses can
provide a degree program of high quality. New courses will not be created
for a student; however, a directed study course may be provided. In special
cases up to nine (9) hours of transfer credit from another institution may
apply to a major, particularly of specialized courses not available at SAU.
4. Bachelor of Art degree majors must have 30 hours, of which a minimum of
14 hours will be upper division. A second major or a minor from SAU's
degree programs must be included.
5. Bachelor of Science majors must have 42 hours, of which a minimum of 1 8
hours will be upper division.
6. Courses for the major shall be chosen from at least two and not more than
four disciplines.
7. Both B.A. and B.S. majors must include a three (3) hour research project
(accomplished under a directed study number). Students will provide a
defense of their project before their advisory committee.
8. In order to graduate, the student must have a minimum of 124 semester
hours, 40 upper division hours, and three writing classes.
At least 30 of the semester hours in the major must be taken in residence after
the student's application and proposal for the major have been approved by the
advisory committee. A grade of C or better must be obtained in all courses in the
interdisciplinary major.
Interdisciplinary 149
For the students who design their major, their transcript will give the degree and
major: 'Interdisciplinary* with the concentration as approved by the Advisory
Committee.
It should be noted that any students receiving VA education benefits must have
their interdisciplinary major and course of study submitted to and approved by the
Tennessee Higher Education Commission as the State Approving Agency before
certification to the VA.

JOB OUTLOOK
Because of the decline in government support of nonprofit, it is more valuable
than ever that nonprofit managers have fund development skills. The B.S. in
Nonprofit Administration and Development degree is designed to provide both
training and internships in fund development as well as in management.
The demand for graduates with these competencies is high with an estimated
50,000 needed annually to fill new staff vacancies. More than one million
nonprofit organizations are at work across the country, employing 9 million
people and aided by nearly 90 million volunteers. The Bureau of Labor predicts
a 45% increase in the need for youth and human service professionals by the year
2002, when government support of the nonprofit sector will decline by 28% or
$125 billion.
School of Journalism and Communication 153
INTERNSHIPS AND ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
Because of the strong relationships which the school has developed with the
Chattanooga area mass media, students in journalism, broadcasting, and public
relations have many opportunities to meet and work with professionals in
television and radio news, in public relations, advertising, and on daily and
weekly newspapers.
Internships: Helping students locate internships on newspapers, in publishing
houses, in public relations and fund development departments, in advertising
agencies, and in radio and television newsrooms is a vital part of the education
program provided by the school.
An Advisory Council and a Consulting Board advise the school in providing
internships that give on-the-job experience. The school also participates in the
General Conference internship program in which students work in various
denominational institutions. The University radio station, WSMC FM90.5, and
other media outlets provide learning opportunities for students in a number of
courses.
Campus Publications: Students can gain valuable experience as writers, editors,
and producers by working on Student Association publications such as Southern
Accent, the campus newspaper; Southern Memories, the yearbook; and Strawberry
Festival, the annual multi-media review of the year.
ASSESSMENT
To make satisfactory progress toward preparation for the job market, students
majoring in the school will be expected to attend school assemblies and other
professional meetings sponsored by the school.
Students should demonstrate their growing professionalism through
involvement in the operation of WSMC FM90.5; in the publication of the Southern
Accent, Southern Memories, or some other publication; or in communication
activities for a campus, church, or community organization.
Participation in the School Communication Club and the Society of Adventist
Communicators as well as student membership in a national professional
organization such as the Society of Professional Journalists, the International
Association of Business Communicators, or the Public Relations Student Society
of America are also evidence of professional commitment.
School files for each student majoring in the School serve as a source of
information for teachers asked to provide recommendations for students seeking
practicum, internships, or job positions.
Students in the School will be given a writing skills test when they take JOUR
105. On the basis of the results, advisers will recommend any needed
remediation, which students must complete before registering for other writing
courses offered by the school.
School effectiveness will be assessed by combining the results of the
cumulative evaluations, student evaluations of courses, questionnaires completed
by supervisors of interns, alumni, and workshop attendees. To determine that the
curriculum meets the objectives of the school and the standards of the Accrediting
Council of Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the faculty makes
an ongoing analysis of courses required for majors.

Mathematics
Chair: Arthur Richert
Faculty: Kevin Brown, Robert Moore
Throughout recorded history mathematics and mathematical thinking have
influenced man's culture to an extent that even many well-educated people fail to
appreciate. The Elements of Euclid, the invention of a place-value numeration
system, the invention of the calculus, the development of statistical inference, and
more recently the development of computers, to name just a few, are
mathematical contributions to civilization which have significantly affected the
philosophies, commerce, science, and technology of mankind.
The Mathematics Department seeks to transmit this mathematical heritage to
the students of Southern Adventist University by (1) introducing students to
mathematical concepts and techniques and the disciplined, logical thinking
required to successfully apply them to a variety of problem-solving experiences,
(2) providing a stage in the formal education of professional mathematicians, (3)
educating teachers of mathematics, and (4) providing appropriate courses for users
of mathematics.
ASSESSMENT
All mathematics majors are required to take the Educational Testing Service
Major Field Achievement Test in mathematics during their senior year. All
actuarial studies majors are required to take the Society of Actuaries Course 1
examination. The results of these examinations are used in ongoing review of the
departmental curriculum.

Modern Languages
Chair: Carlos H. Parra
Faculty: Mari-Carmen Gallego
Adjunct Faculty: Darwin Ayscue, Sam James
The Modem Languages Department at Southern Adventist University combines
language study with overseas experience and academic courses in order to
administer interdisciplinary degrees in International Studies, Spanish, and Spanish
Teaching. The International Studies degree will enhance students' ability to live
and work in an international setting. Students discover French, German, and
Spanish not only as living languages but also as reflections of many cultures. The
objective is to provide an aesthetic, historical, and social background, and at the
same time, to develop practical linguistic skills for those students who plan to
work with foreign organizations in the U.S. or abroad.
The Modem Languages Department also offers a major in Spanish, and minors
in Spanish, French, and German for those students wishing to gain a deeper
understanding of cultures within a global context through the study of language,
literature, and society. The Spanish major also provides the necessary background
for graduate study. In addition, the department offers a Spanish Teaching major
for students interested in secondary education. Students seeking teacher
certification should also pursue the teaching major.
The ability to communicate with people is increasingly essential in today's
global community, and knowledge of other cultures and cultural experiences
should be a key part of the background of a well-educated individual, particularly
of those with a sense of world mission. By introducing students to another
language and giving them opportunity and exposure to experience other cultures,
the Modern Languages Department at Southern Adventist University strives in
helping to overcome stereotypes and prejudices, foster a spirit of appreciation and
inclusiveness, and facilitates easier communication and interaction with persons
of other languages and cultures.
ASSESSMENT
The assessment of majors in International Studies consists of three basic parts:
First the candidates write an evaluation of the departmental program to state their
perception of the program's effectiveness in achieving its objectives. Second, the
candidates take a departmental exam to demonstrate their degree of success in
achieving near native mastery of the target language in the areas of listening,
reading, writing, and speaking. Third, the candidates take an oral examination
focusing on their knowledge and appreciation of the culture of the peoples who
speak the target language. A key element of this interview is the candidates' ability
to compare and contrast the target culture with their own, and to show how they
relate, contribute to, and enrich each other.
The assessment of students majoring in Spanish, and Spanish Teaching consists
of a departmental written examination. Candidates will demonstrate a passing
degree of knowledge and appreciation of Spanish speaking cultures, their literary
expression, and the ability to understand many of the complexities affecting and
resulting from the Spanish, and Spanish-American experience in their own context
and when in contact with other cultures not only in the American continent, but
with global communities. The three-hour comprehensive written examination
Modern Languages 173
requirement must be completed before graduation, but not before the last semester
of the senior year.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
The department sponsors language programs abroad for students who desire
to participate in an intensive language-learning experience. For details, contact
Adventist Colleges Abroad (ACA).
FOREIGN STUDY
Adventist Colleges Abroad. Southern Adventist University is a member of the
consortium of colleges and universities which, under the auspice of the General
Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, supports the Adventist Colleges Abroad
program. ACA provides an opportunity for students of French, German, or Spanish

The faculty of the School of Music believes that music is one of the arts given
to man by his Creator to be used in the worship of God and to enhance the quality
of man's life. In harmony with this philosophy, course work is offered which meets
the needs of the general university student as well as music majors and minors.
The School of Music offers two baccalaureate degrees, the Bachelor of Music
degree in music education and the Bachelor of Science degree in music. Both
degrees require courses in music theory and history, as well as a high level of
achievement in a major performance area. The Bachelor of Music degree
emphasizes the skills necessary for teaching music, with special emphasis on the
training of teachers for the Seventh-day Adventist school system. The Bachelor of
Science degree affords the student the opportunity to choose one of three tracks:
(1) General, (2) Music Theory and Literature, (3) Music Performance.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Music majors must fulfill all the general admission requirements of the
University. In addition, a prospective music major is required to take written and
aural entrance examinations in music theory and a performance examination in
the applied concentration. To obtain freshman standing as a music major, the
student must qualify for MUCT 1 1 1 and MUPF 1 89.
Further information regarding the entrance examinations may be obtained by
writing the Dean of the School of Music.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Functional Piano: All music majors must demonstrate keyboard proficiency by
passing a piano proficiency examination or successfully completing Class Piano
1-4. Keyboard proficiency includes the ability to play hymns, scales, triads,
arpeggios, several moderately easy compositions and accompaniments and
harmonize simple folk melodies. Students will take a piano placement test during
the first week of the first semester in residence.
Applied Music Credit: One semester hour of credit will be given for fourteen
half-hour lessons with a minimum of four hours of practice per lesson.
Performance Concentration grades are assigned following a jury examination at
the end of each semester. (See Music Lesson Fees under Financial Policies section
of this catalog.)
Concert and Recital Attendance: Full-time music majors (students taking 1 2 or
more credits) are required to attend, as a non-performer, six School approved
concerts per semester, except for the student teaching semester. Attendance shall
include faculty and senior recitals in the students applied concentration area.
Failure to meet this requirement will nullify music major status.
1 82 School of Music
Music Ensemble Participation: All music majors are required to participate in an
appropriate music ensemble every semester in full-time residence (12 or more
hours). During the student teaching semester, students are exempted from this
requirement. Teacher certification candidates must, however, complete eight hours
of appropriate ensembles. Appropriate ensembles are defined as follows: string
majors, Symphony Orchestra; wind and percussion majors, Wind Symphony;
voice majors, Southern Singers; keyboard majors, any of the above. Students are
encouraged to participate in a variety of other ensembles as time permits.
ASSESSMENT
The School of Music has an ongoing program of student assessment. This
program includes the following:
1. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS
a. Concentration:
Music Performance Concentration (MUPF 189, 389) grades will be
based on the student having met the following criteria:
1. Completed at least 14 lessons for the semester. (One-half hour
lesson -one semester hour credit; one hour lesson -two semester
hours credit; etc.)
2. Practiced a minimum of four hours each week for each semester
hour of credit. The student will keep a 'Daily Practice Log* for
his/her verification of meeting this requirement. (Two semester 7
hours of credit -eight hours of practice per week.)
3. Studied, completed, and performed sufficient literature to warrant
the credit hours for which the individual is registered. (The
number, length, and/or difficulty level of the work(s) studied and
of the work(s) prepared for performance are the basis for this
criterion. Where appropriate, other factors such as memorization
will be considered.)
4. Completed the end of the semester jury audition examination and
received a performance grade as determined by the Music Faculty
(50%) and the Private Lesson Instructor (50%).
Unsatisfactory performance in any item above will negatively affect
the final Performance Concentration grade.
A grade of C- or lower will not count toward the Performance
Concentration requirements.
A grade of C or lower for two consecutive semesters will result in the
student being dropped as a Music Major. Reinstatement can only be
achieved by applying to the Music Faculty and successfully completing
an audition for reinstatement in the Performance Concentration area.
Audition for reinstatement may be requested only once.
b. Applied Music:
Applied Music (MUPF 1 29, 329) grades will be based on the student
having met the following criteria.
1. Completed at least 14 lessons for the semester. (One-half hour
lesson -one semester hour credit; one hour lesson -two semester
hours credit.)
School of Music 1 83
2. Practiced a minimum of four hours per week for each semester
hour of credit. The student will keep a *Daily Practice Log* for
his/her verification of meeting this requirement. (Two semester
hours credit-eight hours practice per week.)
3. Studied, completed, and performed sufficient literature at the
individual student's level to warrant the credit hours for which the
individual is registered.
Unsatisfactory performance in any item above will negatively affect
the final Performance Secondary grade.
2. JUNIOR STANDING
Music majors must apply for junior standing at the end of the sophomore year.
These requirements are as follows:
a. An overall grade point average of 2.00 for the Bachelor of Science degree and
2.75 for the Bachelor of Music degree.
b. A grade point average of 2.75 in all music courses.
c. Completion of the functional piano requirement.
d. Completion of MUCT 111-112,121-122.
e. Completion of at least four hours of credit in the student's applied music
concentration area.
Faculty evaluation of the application for junior standing will result in the student's
receiving one of the following classifications: (a) Pass, Bachelor of Music; (b) Pass,
Bachelor of Science; (c) Probation; (d) Fail. Junior Standing requirements must be
met at least two semesters before graduation.
3. SENIOR RECITAL
All music degree candidates will present a senior recital. The student must be
registered for private instruction while preparing for the senior recital. A faculty
audition of the complete program must be scheduled at least three weeks before the
recital date. Unsatisfactory performance at this audition will result in a rescheduling
of the recital date.
Following the senior recital, the music faculty will vote to either accept the
performance or to require all or portions of the recital to be repeated. The student
will not be cleared for graduation until successful completion of the senior recital.
Upon music faculty approval, the senior recital requirement may be partially fulfilled
through a conducting or chamber music performance.
4. SENIOR ASSESSMENT EXAMINATION
During the senior year each graduating senior will take the nationally standardized
Major Field Achievement Test. The results of this examination will be used to help
determine the effectiveness of the music program and the competency level of the
graduates.
BACHELOR OF MUSIC CURRICULUM
The Bachelor of Music degree in music education meets state and
denominational certification requirements. Students must apply for admission to
the Teacher Education Program through the School of Education and Psychology

baccalaureate level nursing. Licensed diploma and associate degree graduates from
a non-accredited program will be evaluated on an individual basis.
The nursing curriculum is based on the Neuman Systems Model (NSM) which
emphasizes wholistic health. The curriculum leads to an Associate of Science
(A.S.) degree in nursing which may be completed in four semesters, plus summer
courses. Upon completion of the A.S. degree requirements, the student is eligible
to take National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).
The curriculum in the Baccalaureate Program provides the student additional
study in theoretical and clinical nursing.
A new class is accepted into both programs in fall and winter semesters of each
year with a limited number of students.
A well-equipped Learning Resource Center (LRQ, clinical skills laboratory, and
a tutorial program, Assisting Students to Achieve Professionally (ASAP) are
provided to facilitate learning.
POLICIES
Students admitted to clinical courses will accept personal responsibility for their
learning and professional behavior. Each student contracts to abide by policies as
stated in the SON Handbook.
Students will be expected to provide their own transportation for all clinical
appointments.
A nursing education fee is charged each semester to help offset expenses
which are not covered by regular tuition, (see Special Fees and Charges under
Financial Policies section of the catalog.)
The Tennessee State Board of Nursing and other State Boards reserve the right
to deny licensure if the applicant has committed a crime other than a minor traffic
violation. The SON reserves the right to deny admission to or remove students
from the nursing program who have records of misconduct, legal or otherwise, that
would jeopardize their professional performance.
The SON reserves the right to revise, add, or withdraw policies and/or courses
as necessary to ensure a quality nursing program.

Physics
Chair: Ken Caviness
Faculty: Chris Hansen, Henry Kuhlman
Research Faculty: Ray Hefferlin
Adjunct Faculty: Cyril Roe
Many doors of service await students who study physics. Southern Adventist
University physics major graduates have become academy and high school
teachers, and professors and researchers in physics, in the U.S.A. and overseas.
Also, one or more of them has served as aerospace researcher for the Apollo
project, anesthetist, chemical researcher, computer systems manager, computer
net-work manager at large factory, corporation pilot, dentist, family-practice
medical doctor, full-time homemaker, geologist, historian of science, instructor for
fossil-fuel power-plant operators, instructor for nuclear-reactor operators, lawyer,
mathematician, nuclear-plant walk-down engineer, oceanographer, oil-drilling
engineer, planner for Space Station Freedom, radiologist, reliability designer for
long-distance telephone systems, radio station engineer, and researcher in
educational statistics.
The Physics Department offers B.S. and B.A. degrees in physics, B.S. in
biophysics, and A.S. in Engineering Studies (see page131).
The B.S. degree in physics gives the strongest physics foundation for any
physics-related career. The B.A. degree in physics with teaching certification is
recommended for a career in secondary teaching. The B.S. degree in biophysics
should be considered by students planning on advanced study in the fields of
medicine, biophysics, physiology, radiation biology, and bioengineering,
particularly in view of a career in medical research.
ASSESSMENT
To help the graduates in Physics evaluate their academic progress and to aid
the department in evaluating teaching effectiveness, each senior is required to:
1 . Take the physics portion of the GRE. A score above the 35th percentile
is necessary for recommendation for graduate study.
2. Take PHYS 480 and do original research as a prerequisite.
Alumni are surveyed and studies are prepared comparing GRE results, careers,
and graduate-study success. Information gained from the assessments and studies
is used to evaluate departmental programs.

Student Assessment
The quality of the School's graduates as well as its general students is assessed
by:
1 . A 1 6PF taken by all Theology majors in their sophomore and senior years with
norms arrived at by extensive research of the performance of successful
Adventist pastors. If a student's scores differ greatly from these norms, the
faculty member assigned to administer the test meets with the student to
discuss potential difficulties and to suggest strategies for improvement. This
may involve referral to a professional for personal or career counseling.
Classes in Homiletics, Church Ministry, Interpersonal Ministry, and the
Summer Field School of Evangelism measure the student's proficiency in those
areas. A performance evaluation is submitted by the instructor(s) and kept in
the student's file for future reference. This may involve referral to a professional
for personal or career counseling.
2. The 16PF is administered by the School of Education and Psychology to all
Religious Education majors. If the student's scores indicate potential
difficulties, the School of Religion is asked to assist in strategies for
improvement.
3. A cumulative record of Religious Studies majors is kept as a source of
information and recommendation. This record includes data needed for
academic advisement and guidance for graduate work or placement.
4. The religion portion of the annual assessment testing program is prepared by
the General Education Committee and is administered to all students through
the office of the Vice President for Academic Administration,
NOTE: A summary of the evaluations referred to above will be made available in the form of a check
sheet to prospective employers who request it and will be signed by the School Dean on behalf
of the Religion faculty. The School itself cannot guarantee employment.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Admission to Theology Program
Students seeking admission to the ministerial program with its major in
Theology must make formal application during the second semester of the
sophomore year. (Upper class transfer students must apply during the second
semester in residence.) An evaluation and decision by the religion faculty of the
student's overall potential for success in ministry, including consideration of the
applicant's academic progress, emotional stability, social and professional skills
determine individual acceptance as a Ministerial Trainee. If at any time, after
being admitted to the program, trainees give evidence of failing to maintain
commitment to the criteria or preparation for ministry, they forfeit their standing
as trainees and the faculty's recognition in their senior year as Ministerial
Candidates. Acceptance into the ministerial program as a trainee and a candidate
is required for the completion of the major in theology. Students not accepted into
the program may choose to complete a major in Religious Studies.
Trainees:
Students may apply to the ministerial program for trainee status by mid-term
of the first semester of their sophomore year. These applications will be
considered during the last half of the first semester, and announced by the start of
the second semester.

Directed Field Education
The School of Religion requires field education of Theology majors. These
experiences are designed to enhance professional development by acquainting the
student with the multi-faceted responsibilities of ministry, to provide a laboratory
for working with experienced pastors and lay leaders in visitation of both active
and inactive members, and to allow experience in preaching to area
congregations. These experiences are necessary before the student can be
recommended by the School for church employment.
Summer Field School of Evangelism
Full-scale evangelistic meetings will be conducted for two months each
summer under the direction of the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day
Adventists and the School of Religion. All Theology majors are required to
participate in one such crusade. Academic credit will be offered and a scholarship
will be provided to those who are approved by the faculty to participate. Students
planning to take the Summer Field School program must have 55 hours with a
2.50 cumulative GPA and RELP 321, 322 to be recommended for admittance.
Applications and scholarship information may be obtained from the field school
coordinator. Additional evangelistic opportunities for individual students and
student teams may be made available upon approval of the School of Religion to
accommodate requests from the conferences within the Southern Union.
Admission to Religious Education Program
The Religious Education Program is coordinated with the School of Education
and Psychology for the University. Planning for certification by the states and/or
endorsement by the Seventh-day Adventist church for Bible teaching is made with
the certifying officer of the School of Education and Psychology, both for
admission to the Religious Education program in the sophomore year and to the
professional semester before the senior year.
The student must apply for Initial Admission to the Teacher Education
Program (usually by the end of the sophomore year) after completing all
requirements as outlined under ADMISSION PROCEDURES in the School of
Education and Psychology section of the catalog. Initial admission is required
before the student can enroll in upper division education courses.
The student must also complete an application and all other requirements for
Admission to Student Teaching. Prior to the professional semester, the student
must take and pass the PRAXIS II licensure exam— both the appropriate section of
the Principles of Learning and Teaching, and the particular specialty test(s) for the
licensure area(s).
The criteria for admission to Religious Education, requirements for secondary
Bible teaching, and policies and procedures related to student teaching may be
found in the University catalog under the School of Education and Psychology and
obtained from the secretary of the School in Summerour Hall.
Teacher Certification and Endorsement
Those seeking Tennessee State Certification must fulfill requirements listed on
page 1 1 6 of this catalog.
Admission to Religious Studies
The Religious Studies major is a liberal arts major for students interested in
pursuing a degree other than a Theology or Religious Education degree, or by
226 School of Religion
students preparing for professional fields such as medicine, dentistry, law, and
other graduate studies.
It is a liberal arts major and provides a balanced selection of both biblical
studies and theology courses. The four-year degree candidate may apply the
required 12 hours of General Education courses in religion toward the hours
needed for the major, thus reducing the number of extra courses needed to
qualify.
Admission to Archaeology
The Archaeology major is a liberal arts major for students interested in
preparing for graduate studies in archaeology, museum studies, of cultural
resource management or as preparation for professional field such as medicine,
dentistry, law, or education. Students choosing to major in archaeology must
consult with the director of the Institute of Archaeology to determine their area of
interest in Near Eastern or Classical Studies and to lay plans for participation in
archaeological fieldwork.
The four year degree candidate may apply the required 1 2 hours of General
Education courses in religion towards the hours for the major, thus reducing the
number of extra courses needed to qualify.
Admission to the Bible Instructor or Literature Evangelist Program
The Bible Worker and Literature Evangelist Program is a 64 hour, two-year
degree leading to an A.A. in Religion. Students wishing to be recommended for
employment as Bible instructors or literature evangelists must be approved by the
School of Religion. The School of Religion cannot recommend for employment
anyone whose course of study has been inadequate or unapproved.
General Education Courses in Religion
The objective in all religion courses is to enhance knowledge of and
appreciation for the Scriptures, and to assist the student in gaining and maintaining
a vital involvement with Jesus Christ, and a personal commitment to serve family,
church, community, and the world. Six semester hours of religion are required of
the two-year graduate, and 12 semester hours of the four-year graduate. This is
equivalent to one three-hour course per year which may be selected from any of
the religion courses offered. Bachelor degree students must take at least three
semester hours at the upper division level. (Detailed information on General
Education requirements are found in the University catalog.)
Graduation Requirements
The candidates for graduation in the program for Theology must have a 2.00
overall, a 2.25 in their major and in the area of candidacy in order to graduate,
and a 2.50 overall for Seminary entrance. In addition to their major they must have
20 hours in Biblical Languages, 26 hours in professional training, and 12 hours in
cognates to qualify for Ministerial Candidacy. They must also give evidence of
moral, physical, social, and intellectual fitness and demonstrate professional
commitment in order for the School to recommend them as prospective ministerial
employees. Those students pursuing the Religious Education major must have a
2.75 overall and a 2.75 in education and in the field of certification as outlined by
the School of Education and Psychology. The Religious Studies candidates for
graduation, and those having majored in Archaeology, must have a cumulative
grade point average of 2.00 overall and a 2.25 in their major as outlined in the
School of Religion 227
University catalog as must candidates for the A.A. in Religion. Where exit
examinations are required, the candidate must pass with a score of 70 percent or
above prior to graduation.
BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE PROGRAMS

MISSION STATEMENT AND OBJECTIVES
The Department of Social Work and Family Studies promotes a Christian
learning environment that is designed to facilitate and understand of human
behavior and a mastery of basic skills in working with people in local, national,
and international settings.
The curricula for both the BSW and Family Studies degrees are designed to
achieve the following objectives:
1. To help the student gain an understanding of a Christian philosophy of
human behavior and to master intervention skills based on such a
philosophy.
2. To encourage critical thinking, perceptive discussion, intellectual curiosity,
and cultural awareness.
3. To develop positive interpersonal skills, communication techniques, and
decision-making approaches.
4. To reinforce a commitment to acceptance, caring, and service.
5. To provide the necessary knowledge base that will enable students to
experience successful employment and/or admission to graduate programs.
PROGRAMS IN SOCIAL WORK AND FAMILY STUDIES
The Social Work and Family Studies Department offers a degree in Social Work
(accredited by the Council on Social Work Education) and in Family Studies.
Minors are also available in Behavioral Science, Family Studies, Social Work, and
Sociology.
The curricula for both the BSW and Family Studies degrees include computer
content and hands-on experience intended to enable majors to develop
elementary skills including word processing, spreadsheet, database, Internet, CD
ROMS, video— interactive, and statistical analysis. Majors are encouraged to have
their own personal computers (PCs) if possible.
SOCIAL WORK
The study of social work is one of the most exciting and important fields of
inquiry and practice within the people sciences. A historic and defining feature
of the social work profession is its focus on individual well-being within a social
context coupled with a keen interest in the well-being of society as a whole.
Particular attention is given to the needs and empowerment of people who are
vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. Fundamental to social work is its
emphasis on environmental forces that create, contribute to, as well as ameliorate
problems of human existence.
The Bachelor of Science in Social Work (BSW) prepares students for entry-level
social work generalist baccalaureate practice. The BSW is the foundation degree
for social work careers in mental health, child welfare, health care, public welfare,
schools, family service, developmental disabilities, service to the aged, industry,
business and labor, and criminal justice. The degree is designed to also prepare
students for informed community participation in social welfare issues. The BSW
Social Work and Family Studies 239
is the preferred preparation for the terminal graduate practice degree, the Masters
of Social Work, (MSW). Job opportunities in the social work field are projected
to grow at an above average rate during the near future.
The program makes available a number of experiences, both curricular and
extracurricular, to enrich its students' academic experience. Multiple volunteer
opportunities deepen understanding and compassion. A number of field
experiences enhance commitment and skill building. National and international
study tours are available to engender cross-cultural and global perspectives (see
below). The center piece of the applied dimension of the curriculum is the 400
hour FIELD PRACTICUM INTERNSHIP in which each student participates in "real
life" experience while being supervised by a seasoned and credentialed
professional social worker.
Extracurricular opportunities include membership in the National Association
of Social Workers and the Phi Alpha Honor Society. Social Work Month is
celebrated each March. The Edward Lamb Community Scholarship Fund provides
opportunity to develop fund raising skills, socialization for social service
commitment, and monies for the educational expenses of exemplary students.

STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
This committee is made up of two elected students from each class, freshman
through senior, and two students elected at large. This committee provides a
formalized student voice concerning any aspect of the social work program (see
Student Handbook),
POLICIES
Students who are admitted to the social work program are considered
adequately mature to realize the importance of accepting personal responsibility
for their learning and professional behavior.
The social work program Student Handbook outlines the policies of the
program. Each student accepted into the program is responsible to become
acquainted with and to abide by these policies.
240 Social Work and Family Studies
Transportation for volunteer and practicum experiences is not provided by the
program. Students will be expected to provide their own transportation and make
arrangements to share this expense with fellow students participating in the same
experiences.
The social work program reserves the right to deny admission to and to remove
students from the social work program who have an unresolved felony on record
in any state and who have records of misconduct, legal and otherwise, that would
jeopardize their professional performance.
The social work program reserves the right to revise, add, and withdraw
policies and/or courses as necessary to ensure a quality social work program.
ACCREDITATION
The social work program has achieved full national accreditation with the
Council on Social Work Education.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Admission to Southern Adventist University does not automatically enroll the
student in the social work program. Declaration as a social work major is not
equivalent of acceptance to the program. The final decision on acceptance and
continuation in the program is made by the program Admissions and Progressions
Committee.
During the second semester of the freshmen year the student is to complete an
autobiography and a written essay on a specific social policy.
During the first semester of the sophomore year the student is to file a formal
application to the social work program (refer to the Student Handbook for
specifics). Application forms may be obtained from the office manager in the
program office. Minimum requirements for admission to the program and upper
division courses are listed below:
1 . Acceptance to Southern Adventist University.
2. Completion of application form, autobiographical statement, and a writing
sample on specific social policy.
3. Submission of a current unofficial transcript.
4. Have an overall grade point average of 2.50 or higher (exceptions may be
made for persons who do not meet the grade point average requirements
if they are strong candidates on the basis of other criteria). Have
completed SOCW 211: Introduction to Social Work and/or SOCW 212:
Social Welfare as an Institution with a grade of C or higher.
5. Show evidence of physical, mental, and moral fitness. Further references
may be required regarding character, attitude, and coping ability in case
of a question in this area.
6. Students whose native language is not English must achieve at least 550
on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
7. Have taken the Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis. The student is to
make arrangements with the University Counseling and Testing Center to
take these tests.
8. Completion of a successful interview with the Admissions and
Progressions Committee.
The Committee reviews the application material, conducts the interview, and
makes a decision concerning the application. Applicants are notified of the
Committee's decision by a letter from the program director. An applicant denied
Social Work and Family Studies 241
admission to the social work program may appeal the denial decision in person
and/or in writing to the Admission and Progressions Committee. If this process is
unsatisfactory to the student, the University appeals process described in this
catalog may be followed.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Students intending to major in social work who are attending other colleges or
universities, or who are transferring from another major at Southern Adventist
University, will be expected to apply for admission to the Social Work Program by
April 1 of their sophomore year. IN ORDER TO STAY ON SCHEDULE WITH THE
SEQUENCE OF SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM COURSES, AN INTRODUCTORY
SOCIAL WELFARE/SOCIAL WORK COURSE, INCLUDING 40 HOURS OF
DOCUMENTED VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE, MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE
ENTERING THE SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM.
Those applying to the social work major after their sophomore year will be
considered on a case by case basis. If the introductory course has not been
completed, it is taken the first semester after declaring social work as a major. This
will delay admission consideration until the following semester and may result in
graduation taking more than four years.
The social work program seeks to maintain a heterogenous student body by
enrolling students who represent diverse backgrounds and cultural perspectives.
FIELD PRACTICUM
The social work field practicum is designed to provide students with a chance
to put into practice the theories and skills they have learned in the classroom. The
practice of social work is a combination of theory and interpersonal skills with the
field practicum a key component of the educational process. The focus of the field
practicum is on the interactional process between student worker and client
system(s) and the testing and use of specific interventions; students have the
opportunity to connect the theory and knowledge with actual practice experience.
This experience is essential to developing the entry level helping skills required of
all undergraduate social work professionals. The nature of the field practicum is
practice-oriented, builds on skills and theories learned in cognate social work
classes, and involves direct contact and intervention with individuals, families, and
groups; only social work majors may take the field practicum and must have met
the required prerequisites. The field practicum experience is eight (8) credit hours
which are taken concurrently with the Integrative Field Seminar.
ASSESSMENT
The social work program maintains a comprehensive assessment policy. In
order to provide for evaluation of the program and monitoring teaching
effectiveness, as well as measuring the achievements of graduates, all seniors are
required to:
1 . Take a standardized social work achievement test (PACAT) in the winter
semester of the senior year.
2. Present a personal portfolio of papers, case materials, and video to the
program faculty (see Student Handbook).
3. Complete a graduating senior evaluation.
4. Successfully complete both the oral and written sections of the Senior Exit

will be part of the Senior Seminar and Field Pnicticjm Integrative Seminar.
Program effectiveness will be assessed by combining the results of the above
cumulative evaluations. An ongoing analysis of courses and course content
required for majors is made by rhc social work faculty to assure that the curriculum
meets the objectives of the program and the standards of the national accrediting
bady r the Council on Social Work Education.
FAMILY STUDIES
The family Studies degree is interdisciplinary in nature and combines various
dimensions of the social sciences along with a strong liberal arts foundation to
gain an understanding of individuals and families. The major is for those students
wishing to prepare for graduate study in community and/or family counseling, law r
personnel work, sociology of the family, or family life education.
ASSESSMENT
To help the graduates in Family Studies evaluate their academic progress and
to aid the department in evaluating teaching effectiveness, each senior is required
to;
1 . Take an oral exam during the fall semester of the senior year that will be
based on a selected course and course work material
2. Present a personal portfolio of papers and case material to the
depart mental faculty.

Basic to the philosophy of the School of Visual Art and Design is the provision
for the quality of environment most conducive to spiritual, aesthetic, and technical
growth. The instructors desire to help all students become aware of their options
in the field of art and to prepare them systematically to meet the needs of their
respective choices, whether they are oriented commercially or aesthetically,
The Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Design prepares the student in the
majors of graphic design, animation and technical direction. The growing fields
m visual arts production offer opportunities for the Christian artist hardly ventured
into up to this point in video and film.
One of the goals of the School of Visual Art and Design is to create an
environment where Christian young people can I earn the art of film making. The
Bachelor of Science degree in Film Production is designed to meet this need-
Resources include DV, Betacam, and 16mm acquisition devices, as well as
extensive lighting, grip, and post production facilities.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is designed to prepare the fine artist to enter
graduate schooi with a strong background in art history and painting. Students
also have the opportunity to focus in Art History to prepare for leadership in
community council for the arts, museums, and galleries.
Art Therapy, a p re-profess ion a I program, prepares the art student for a post-
graduate degree designed to focus on the helping relationship.
The Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Art degrees in Art F due at ion
prepares the student who desires certification to teach art in the K-1 2 educational
system,* The Bachelor of Science degree is more intensive and has tracks in
graphic design, animation, and fine art, providing a viable career and
specialization outside of the educational system. Art education is recognized as
an important part of the K-1 2 curriculum and the demand for art education
specialists is increasing.
ASSESSMENT
Students in the School of Visual Art and Design will keep a portfolio of their
work from their freshman year onward. This portfolio is reviewed twice ana
yearly basis by the school's faculty. Recommendations are made, on the basis of
these reviews, to aid in the student advisement. The effectiveness of the school
is determined by the reviews of senior portfolios by visiting graduate deans of
selected graduate art schools and by visiting professionals in the respective fields.
Due to the nature of art and the required talent and discipline for success in the
field, a grade average of 85%(B) is required as a prerequisite for any internship or
p recti cum. Also, due to the difficulty of the classes we strongly recommend that
students achieve a grade of 65% before going on to the next class in a sequence.

Federal Perkins Loan — If eligible and funds are available, students can borrow
up to $2,850 from ihe federal government through Southern Adventist University.
Repayment and five percent interest begin nine months after a student graduates,
leaves school, or drops below half-time enrollment.
federal PLUS Loans are available to parents of dependent undergraduate
students who have satisfactory credit histories. The student must be enrolled at
least half-time These loans, like Federal Stafford Loans, are made by a lender such
as a bank, credit union, or savings and ban association. The yearly loan limit is
a student's cost of education minus any estimated financial aid s/he is eligible for.
For PLUS loans disbursed since July 1 r 1997, the interest rate is variable, but
not higher than nine percent. Variable interest rates are set each June. For more
information on the intend rate r parents should contact the organization that holds
their loan.
Students' parents pay an "origination fee" of up to three percent of the loan
principal. This amount is deducted proportionately from each disbursement made.
The lender may collect an insurance premium of up to one percent of the loan
principal, which is deducted proportionately from each disbursement.
The procedure for applying is the same as for a Federal Stafford Loan. Southern
Adventist University can refuse to certify a loan application, or can certify a ban
for an amount less than a student's parents would be eligible for. The parents will
be notified in writing, with a full explanation if such a circumstance should arise.
Federal law requires lenders to send the loan proceeds to the school in at least
two payments. Payments will be sent either by electronic transfer or by check
made co-payable to the school and to the parents.
Monthly principal and interest payments begin 60 days after the final loan
disbursement. There is no "grace period* for these loans.
If a deferment— a postponement of repayment— applies (including a deferment
for school enrollment), the parents" repayment of the principal amount borrowed
will not begin until the deferment ends, The interest on the loan is not deferred
during the time of the deferment although the organization that holds the ban
may allow the interest to accumulate until the deferment ends. In such a case r
however, the interest will be added to the principal, increasing the amount of
principal that will need to be repaid.
■•;>.' iv. Stafford Loans arc low-interest loans made to students attending school
at least; half-time. Loans are made by a lender such as a bank, credit union, or
savings and Joan association. These loans are insured by a guarantee agency and
reinsured by the federal government. A. borrower must repay this loan.
Students enrolled at least half-time may qualify for a "subsidized* federal
Stafford Loan, which is based on financial need. Dependent students whose
parents were denied a PLUS loan and independent students who enroll at least
half-time may also apply for an "unsubsidized* Federal Stafford Loan regardless
of need; that is, regardless of their or their family's financial status.

accounts that are not received by the last working day of the month will be
charged a one percent service charge.

payments nor communication have been received, and unsuccessful attempts have
been made by the SAU Student Accounts Services Office to contact the individual,
the account will be submitted to a collection agency or attorney.
If the University deems it necessary to employ a collection agency or an
attorney to collect defaulted accounts, all charges for these services, including
court costs, if incurred, will be added to unpaid bills.
Policy on Transcript Qiphma, and Test Score Requests for Non-current Students
It is the policy of the University to withhold transcripts, diplomas, test scores,
certificates of completion, and other records if a student has an unpaid or past-due

Policy on Legal Proceedings
Southern Adventist University shall not render services to former students who
may be involved in any legal proceedings, until court confirmation has been
received with regards to the legal actions taken.
Bankruptcy Policies and Procedures

prohibits a creditor from subsequently pursuing the collection of the debt, the
University, upon notification by the court of such filing, will comply with this legal
prohibition. No further services wiEl be extended. The bankruptcy of the financial
sponsor in no way changes the underlying financial obligation of the student to
pay his or her student account,
