Ask  Me  About  Armstrong 

Or  ask  any  of  our  3,700  students,  "What  is  college  life  at  Armstrong 
State  College  really  like?"  You'll  get  answers  that  run  the  gamut, 
because  different  people  are  looking  for  -  and  find  -  different  things 
in  any  similar  situation. 

As  you  read  this  catalog  you're  already  a  part  of  a  special  group. 
Your  future  roommates,  classmates,  and  teammates  are  also 
reading  these  words  as  they  decide  where  and  how  they  will  spend 
their  college  years.  They,  like  you,  are  looking  for  the  real 
Armstrong,  the  college  beyond  a  beautiful  campus,  a  friendly  smile, 
and  modern  facilities. 

Perhaps  it  will  help,  at  least  a  little,  if  you  can  see  what  lies  behind 
the  words  which  describe  Armstrong. 

.  .a  belief  that  quality  education  today  shapes  all  your 
tomorrows. 

Armstrong  has  spent  its  50-plus  year  history  striving  to  provide 
quality  education  beyond  all  else.  Never  one  to  be  self-satisfied, 
Armstrong  retained  its  strong  liberal  arts  base  as  it  added  career 
programs  in  education  and  the  health  professions.  The  conviction 
that  a  truly  educated  person  is  one  who  has  knowledge  of  and 
appreciation  for  a  wide  range  of  subjects  still  prevails. 

You  will  spend  most  of  your  adult  life  in  the  21st  century.  You'll  be 
called  upon  to  answer  questions  which  haven't  yet  been  asked,  to 
work  in  jobs  that  don't  yet  exist,  to  adapt  to  a  way  of  life  that 
stretches  the  imagination.  Preparation  for  that  life  is  happening  at 
Armstrong.  And  it's  happening  today. 


ARMSTRONG  STATE  COLLEGE 


.  .Armstrong  graduates  excel  - 
in  the  job  marketplace  and  in 
graduate  school.  . 

One  reason  ASC  graduates  are 
in  demand  in  the  workplace  is 
because  their  education  has 
stressed  "real  world"  skills. 
Qualities  like  critical  thinking, 
adaptability,  writing  and 
speaking  and  ethical  judgments 
are  of  increasing  importance  in 
conjunction  with  learning  what 
you  need  to  know  to  succeed  in 
your  chosen  field.  Your 
Armstrong  degree  is  a  career 
investment  which  pays 
handsome  dividends. 

If  a  profession  is  your  goal,  you'll  want  to  investigate  one  of  the 
highly  successful  pre-professional  programs  in  medicine,  dentistry, 
veterinary  science,  forestry,  and  law.  Armstrong  graduates  often 
elect  to  further  their  career  goals  through  graduate  study.  In  fact,  a 
full  40  percent  of  all  Armstrong  graduates  in  chemistry  have  entered 
graduate  school  (20  percent  in  the  medical  field). 


.  .our  faculty  stacks  up  with  the  best  . 

Whatever  their  field,  Armstrong  professors  are  serious  about  helping 
their  students  learn.  Perhaps  that's  why  you'll  frequently  find  faculty 
and  students  head-to-head  over  coffee,  a  special  project  or  the 
latest  headlines. 

Your  classes  will  be  small,  usually  no  more  than  30  students,  so  you 
and  your  instructor  get  to  know  each  other  well.  Maintaining  a  17:1 
student/faculty  ratio  is  important  at  Armstrong. 

Armstrong  faculty  stay  equally 
involved  in  their  academic 
disciplines.  Research  and 
publishing  flourish  in  the 
teaching  staff,  where  doctorates 
predominate.  That's  another 
"plus"  at  Armstrong  -  you  won't 
be  lectured  by  a  teaching 
assistant,  even  in  the  most  basic 
courses. 

.  .more  than  75  majors/ 
programs  in  the  arts  and 
sciences,  teacher  education 
and  the  health  professions. 

Armstrong  State  College  is  a  multi-purpose  institution  of  higher 
education.  That  means  you  have  a  wide  choice  of  majors  that  will 
lead  to  a  successful  career  and  a  bright  future. 

While  a  liberal  arts  core  curriculum  forms  the  basis  for  all  Armstrong 
degrees  on  the  associate  and  baccalaureate  levels,  you  will  find 
ample  opportunity  to  realize  your  career  goals  and  to  broaden  your 
educational  horizons  through  academic  concentrations,  minors, 
internships,  and  co-op  programs. 

The  quality  teacher  education  program  relies  heavily  on  this  arts 
and  sciences  base  and  adds  professional  courses  to  prepare 
dedicated  teachers  for  future  generations. 

Engineering  studies  is  a  rapidly  expanding  program  at  Armstrong. 
Today's  technological  advancements  keep  job  demand  high. 
Students  can  complete  two  years  of  study,  including  basic 
engineering  courses,  at  Armstrong  through  the  Regents  Engineering 


ARMSTRONG  STATE  COLLEGE 


Transfer  Program  before  completing  degree  requirements  at 
Georgia  Tech,  or  they  can  elect  to  earn  dual-degrees  from 
Armstrong  State  College  and  one  of  five  regional  schools  of 
engineering. 

Graduates  in  the  School  of  Health  Professions,  a  regional  health 
education  center,  find  ready  employment  in  the  rapidly  expanding 
health  career  fields.  Pass  rates  of  graduates  who  take  national  and/ 
or  state  licensing  exams  approach  100  percent. 
.  .students  span  a  broad  range  in  age,  a  mix  which  brings 
richness  to  the  classroom. 

A  substantial  number  of 
Armstrong  students  are  over  22 
years  of  age.  You'll  be  as  likely 
to  share  classes  with  a  typical 
18-year  old  freshman  or  a  young 
mother  as  a  business  person  or 
a  senior  citizen.  Education  is  a 
common  bond  and  mature 
experiences  and  viewpoints 
often  add  another  dimension  to 
discussions.     . 


.  .the  best  of  both  worlds  - 
friendly,  personal  campus  life 
in  an  urban  Savannah  setting. 

College  life  at  Armstrong  is 
many  things.  Boring  isn't  one  of 
them.  Whether  you  love  sailing 
with  the  ocean  breeze  and  salt 
spray  in  your  face  or  paddling 
silently  as  you  canoe  the 
beautiful  Ogeechee  river,  water 
sports  abound.  In  fact,  sunny 
skies  and  year-round  shirt  sleeve 
weather  mean  students  spend  a 
lot  of  time  outdoors.  Even  many 
of  historic  Savannah's  special 
festivals,  symphony  concerts, 
and  jazz  outings  are  held  under 
the  sun  or  stars.  And,  if  you've 
never  spent  St.  Patrick's  Day  on 
River  Street,  you've  missed  a 
never-to-be-forgotten 
experience.

ARMSTRONG  STATE  COLLEGE 


History  of  the  College 

Armstrong  State  College,  a  senior  unit  of  the 
University  System  of  Georgia,  was  founded  in 
1 935,  as  Armstrong  Junior  College,  to  help  meet 
the  needs  for  college  level  educational  oppor- 
tunities in  the  community.  The  college,  as  es- 
tablished by  the  City's  Mayor  and  Aldermen, 
was  housed  in  the  beautiful  Armstrong  home,  a 
gift  to  the  city  from  the  family  of  George  F.  Arm- 
strong. Over  the  years  the  college  occupied  five 
additional  buildings  in  the  Forsyth  Park  and 
Monterey  Square  areas.  In  1959,  as  Armstrong 
College  of  Savannah,  it  became  a  two-year  unit 
of  the  University  System.  The  Board  of  Regents 
conferred  four-year  status  on  Armstrong  in  1964 
and  the  college  moved  to  its  present  250  acre 
site,  a  gift  from  the  Mills  B.  Lane  Foundation,  in 
December  of  1965.  Additional  buildings  joined 
the  eight  original  structures  as  Armstrong  added 
professional  and  graduate  programs  and  tripled 
in  size. 

The  Fine  Arts  Center,  including  a  1 ,000  seat 
theatre/auditorium,  the  Health  Professions  Build- 
ing, a  new  apartment  style  residence  complex, 
a  library  wing,  and  an  academic  computing  cen- 
ter are  among  more  recent  additions. 

Armstrong  State  College,  offers  over  75  ac- 
ademic programs  and  majors  in  the  School  of 
Arts  and  Sciences,  and  Education  and  the 
School  of  Health  Professions. 

The  academic  community  includes  approxi- 
mately 3700  students  and  165  full-time  faculty 
members.  Armstrong  State  College  was  fully  ac- 
credited as  a  senior  institution  by  the  Southern 
Association  of  Colleges  and  Schools  in  Decem- 
ber, 1968,  with  accreditation  retroactive  to  Jan- 
uary 1,  1968,  and  was  last  reaccredited  in 
December  1982. 

Purpose 

Armstrong  State  College,  a  senior  college  in 
the  University  System  of  Georgia,  provides  a 
range  of  strong  academic  programs  and  an  en- 
vironment for  intellectual  and  cultural  growth  in 
the  arts  and  sciences,  education,  and  health 
disciplines.  The  College  pursues  its  purpose  by 
promoting  the  free  exchange  of  ideas  in  a  variety 
of  undergraduate  and  graduate  programs  lead- 
ing to  degrees  at  the  Associate,  Baccalaureate, 
Master's,  and  specialist  levels.  The  College  pro- 
vides non-degree  programs  and  activities 
through  the  Coastal  Georgia  Center  for  Contin- 
uing Education. 


Instruction 

Through  instruction,  the  College  ensures  that 
students  read  and  write  effectively,  and,  through 
a  strong  liberal  arts  core  curriculum,  promotes, 
the  acquisition  of  knowledge  in  humanities, 
mathematics,  the  natural  sciences,  and  the  so- 
cial sciences.  The  College  prepares  students  at 
the  graduate  and  undergraduate  levels  in  the 
methods  of  scholarly  inquiry,  scientific  research, 
and  problem  solving,  and,  in  the  process,  en- 
courages student  commitment  to  learning  and 
to  physical,  emotional,  and  social  development. 
Furthermore,  the  College  helps  students  to  iden- 
tify goals  and  the  means  of  achieving  them,  as 
well  as  to  understand  and  to  respect  people 
from  diverse  backgrounds  and  cultures.  Addi- 
tionally, it  broadens  the  base  of  educational  op- 
portunities for  students  through  formal  and 
informal  arrangements  with  other  colleges  and 
universities. 
Faculty,  Students,  and  Staff 

The  College  recruits  and  retains  faculty  who 
are  able  teachers,  supportive  of  its  academic 
purpose,  and  who  are  professional  sources  of 
knowledge  and  expertise.  It  seeks,  recruits,  and 
retains  students  whose  records  indicate  a  like- 
lihood of  success,  and  creates  a  community  of 
learners  in  which  a  sense  of  mutual  trust  and 
respect  is  evident.  It  encourages  and  supports 
an  active  intellectual,  cultural,  and  social  life  on 
campus.  In  addition,  the  College  recruits  and 
retains  a  well-trained  staff,  sensitive  to  the  needs 
of  those  it  serves  and  committed  to  supporting

historic  and  cultural  variety  of  a  metropolitan  city 
with  the  added  advantage  of  the  ocean  at  its 
jack  door.  A  temperate  climate  encourages  out-

ditional student.  Mature  students  who  are  be- 
ginning college  or  are  returning  after  several

Financial  Aid 


Governing  Principles 

Armstrong  State  College  subscribes  to  the 
principle  that  the  primary  purpose  of  a  studen 
financial  aid  program  is  to  provide  financial  as 
sistance  to  students  who  without  such  assis 
tance  would  be  unable  to  attend  college.  The 
primary  responsibility  for  financing  a  college  ed 
ucation  is  the  inherent  obligation  of  the  studen 
and/or  family.  Financial  assistance  from  Arm 
strong  State  College  should  be  viewed  as  sup 
plementary  to  the  efforts  of  the  student  and/o 
family.  An  assessment  of  parental  ability  to  con 
tribute  toward  the  student's  educational  ex 
penses  is  made  by  the  College  Scholarshif 
Service  so  that  neither  the  parent,  the  stucfen^ 
nor  Armstrong  State  College  will  be  required  | 
bear  an  undue  share  of  the  financial  respons 
bility. 

General  Information 

Student  financial  aid  is  awarded  to  eligibl 
students  on  the  basis  of  need  in  nearly  all  case 
except  scholarships  which  have  been  provide 
by  donors  for  the  purpose  of  recognizing  ace 
demic  promise  or  achievement.  The  determ 
nation  of  need  is  provided  for  Armstrong  Stat 
College  students  through  the  use  of  the  Finar 
cial  Aid  Form  (FAF)  and  the  College  Scholarshi 
Service  which  processes  this  form.  The  proces 
involves  an  analysis  of  the  data  provided  by  th 
student's  family  or,  if  independent,  by  the  sti 
dent.  This  analysis  is  sent  to  the  Office  of  Studer 
Financial  Aid  where  it  is  compared  with  the  cos 
of  education  for  the  appropriate  classification  ( 
student.  If  the  analysis  shows  that  the  family  cor 
tribution  or  self  contribution  is  less  than  the  co; 
of  education,  financial  need  has  been  estat 
lished.  The  Office  of  Student  Financial  Aid  ha 
the  legal  right  to  challenge  information  provide 
on  the  Financial  Aid  Form  if,  in  the  opinion  of  th 
financial  aid  officer,  that  information  appears  t 
be  inaccurate,  incorrect,  or  misleading.

Office  of  Student  Financial  Aid  distributes  its

Satisfactory  Academic 
Progress 

The  Higher  Education  Act  of  1965,  as 
amended  by  Congress  in  1980,  mandates  that 
institutions  of  higher  education  establish  mini- 
mum standards  of  "satisfactory  progress"  for 
students  receiving  financial  aid.  To  receive  fi- 
nancial aid  at  Armstrong,  a  student  must  both 
maintain  a  satisfactory  grade  point  average  and 
be  making  satisfactory  academic  progress  as 
outlined  below.  These  requirements  apply  to  the 
following  programs:  Pell  Grant,  Supplemental 
Educational  Opportunity  Grant,  College  Work 
Study,  Guaranteed  Student  Loans,  PLUS  Loans, 
Georgia  Incentive  Grant,  and  other  State  Stu- 
dent Incentive  Grants. 

It  is  the  student's  responsibility  to  read  and 
understand  Armstrong's  policy  regarding  Stan- 
dards of  Academic  Progress.  Failure  to  under- 
stand and  adhere  to  these  policies  will  result  in 
a  student's  ineligibility  for  aid. 

(1 )  Students  must  earn  the  following  mimimum 
number  of  hours  each  academic  year  (fall 
through  spring  quarters)  depending  upon 
their  enrollment  status: 

(a)  Full-time  students  -  36  hrs.  per  aca- 
demic year  (12  hrs  per  quarter) 

(b)  3A  time  students  -  27  hrs.  per  aca- 
demic year  (9  hrs.  per  quarter) 

(c)  V2  time  students  -  18  hrs.  per  aca- 
demic year  (6  hrs.  per  quarter) 

Students  whose  enrollment  status  varies 
during  the  year  should  follow  the  quart- 
erly requirements  listed  above.  For  ex- 
ample, a  student  who  enrolls  full-time 
the  first  two  quarters  but  only  3A  the  third 
quarter  would  be  required  to  complete 
33  hours  (12  +  12  +  9  =  33). 

Student  records  will  be  checked  each 
year  for  compliance  at  the  end  of  spring 
quarter.  Students  who  are  not  meeting 
the  above  requirements  will  be  consid- 
ered ineligible  for  further  aid  until  the 
appropriate  number  of  hours  are 
earned. 


Grade  of  A.E^C.D,  and  P  will  be  consic 
ered  as  credits  earned.  F.I.W.WF,  arii 
U  will  not  be  considered  as  credit 
earned. 

(2)  Students  who  are  enrolled  full-time  will  b 
expected  to  complete  their  degree  withi 
five  years.  No  students  will  be  eligible  fc 
aid  if  they  have  attempted  225  hours  c 
more.  Students  are  therefore  cautioner 
against  repeating  too  many  courses. 

(3)  In  addition  to  earning  an  appropriate  nurr 
ber  of  hours  per  year,  students  must  mair 
tain  the  following  grade  point  average.

Reinstatement  of  Aid 

The  reinstatment  of  aid  is  dependent  on  tr 
availability  of  funds.

A  student  is  responsible  for  knowing  every- 
thing that  is  announced,  discussed,  or  lectured 
upon  in  class  as  well  as  for  mastering  all  as- 
signed reading.  A  student  is  also  responsible

excessive  absence  in  that  particular  class.  Each 
student  is  responsible  for  knowing  the  attend- 
ance regulation  and  for  complying  with  it.  An 
instructor  may  drop  a  student  from  any  class 
with  a  grade  of  "W"  or  "WF,"  as  appropriate,  if 
in  the  instructor's  judgment  the  student's  ab- 
sences have  been  excessive.

gories: Good  Standing,  Good  Standing  with 
Warning,  Academic  Probation,  and  Academic 
Suspension.  Students  are  expected  to  maintain

two  kinds:  (a)  general  and  (b)  those  related 
to  the  peculiarities  of  specific  course-re- 
lated problems  and  to  the  understanding 
of  individual  instructors.  Any  instructor 
whose  conception  of  cheating  would  tend 


to  enlarge  or  contract  the  general  regula- 
tions defining  cheating  must  explicity  notify 
the  affected  students  of  the  qualifications 
to  the  general  regulations  which  he  or  she 
wishes  to  stipulate.  The  following  will  be 
considered  general  violations  of  the  Honor 
Code. 
1.    Giving  or  receiving  any  unauthorized 
help  on  any  assignment,  test  or  paper 
The  meaning  of  unauthorized  help 
shall  be  made  clear  by  the  instructor 
of  each  class. 
2    Stealing  when  related  to  cheating. 

3.  Plagiarizing  Plagiarism  is  the  unack- 
nowledged use  of  another's  words  or 
ideas.  Students  must  be  familiar  with 
the  explanation  of  plagiarism  given  in 
the  writing  handbook  used  in  freshman 
composition  classes  (pp.  457-459  in 
the  current  text,  Writing:  A  College 
Handbook,  Heffernan  and  Lincoln, 
1982).  Ignorance  of  what  constitutes 
plagiarism  will  not  be  accepted  as  an 
excuse  for  plagiarism. 

4.  Giving  perjured  testimony  before  the 
Student  Court. 

5.  Suborning,  attemption  to  suborn,  or  in 
intimidating  witnesses. 

6.  Failing  to  report  a  suspected  violation 
of  the  Honor  Code. 

III.     Reporting  Violations  of  the  Honor  Code: 

Anyone  wishing  to  report  a  violation  may 
come  to  the  Office  of  Student  Affairs  for 
assistance  in  contacting  members  of  the 
Student  Court. 

A.  Self-reporting:  A  student  who  has  bro- 
ken the  Honor  Code  should  report  him- 
self, to  a  member  of  the  Student  Court. 
B  Anyone  (faculty  member  or  student) 
who  is  aware  of  a  violation  of  the  Honor 
Code  must  report  the  matter. 

1 .  Tell  the  person  thought  to  be  guilty 
to  report  himself  to  a  member  of  the 
Student  Court  no  later  than  the  end 
of  the  next  school  day  After  this 
designated  time  the  person  who  is 
aware  of  the  violation  must  inform 
a  member  of  the  Student  Court  so 
that  the  Student  Court  may  contact 
the  accused  person  if  he  has  not 
already  reported  himself. 

2.  Report  the  suspected  violation  di- 
rectly to  a  member  of  the  Student

Court  without  informing  the  ac- 
cused. 
IV.    The  procedural  rights  of  the  students  ac- 
cused of  violations  of  the  Honor  Code: 

The  essence  of  the  procedural  rights  of 
an  accused  is  the  right  to  be  presumed 
innocent  until  proven  guilty.  Specific  rights 
are  as  follows:  - 

1.  The  accused  will  be  notified  in  writing 
by  the  Student  Court  or  its  designated 
representative  of  the  nature  and  de- 
tails of  the  offense  with  which  he  is 
charged  along  with  the  names  of  his 
accusers  and  the  principal  witnesses 
to  be  brought  against  him.  This  notifi- 
cation shall  occur  no  less  than  three  V. 
days  prior  to  the  date  of  the  hearing. 

2.  The  accused  has  the  right  to  counsel 
of  his  own  choosing.  Such  counsel  will 
not  participate  directly  in  the  proceed- 
ings except  to  advise  his  client.  It  is 
expected  that  such  counsel  will  be 
drawn  from  the  college  community. 

3.  The  accused  and  the  person  bringing 
the  charges  shall  be  afforded  an  op- 
portunity to  present  witnesses  and 
documentary  or  other  evidence.  The 
accused  and  any  individual  bringing 
the  charges  shall  have  the  right  to 
cross  examine  all  witnesses  and  may, 
where  the  witnesses  cannot  appear 
because  of  illness  or  other  cause  ac- 
ceptable to  the  Court,  present  the 
sworn  statement  of  the  witnesses.  The 
Court  shall  not  be  bound  by  formal 
rules  governing  the  presentation  of 
evidence,  and  it  may  consider  any  evi- 
dence presented  which  is  of  probative 
value  in  the  case. 

4.  The  accused  may  not  be  made  to  bear 
witness  against  himself.  The  Court 
may  not  take  the  refusal  of  the  ac- 
cused to  testify  as  evidence  of  guilt, 
but  this  proviso  does  not  give  the  ac- 
cused immunity  from  a  hearing  or  from 
recommendations  reached  in  a  hear- 
ing simply  because  the  accused  does 
not  testify. 

5.  The  accused  shall  have  access  to  a 
complete  audiotape  of  the  hearing  and 
to  record  prepared  by  the  secretary. 

6.  The  substantive  facts  of  a  case  may 
be  re-opened  for  consideration  upon 
initiation  of  the  accused  acting  through 


normal  appeal  channels.  The  accuse 
shall  not  be  put  in  double  jeopardy. 

7.  All  witnesses  will  be  sequestered  froi 
the  hearing  room  during  the  course* 
a  hearing.  Witnesses  may  not  discus 
a  pending  case. 

8.  By  prior  agreement,  the  accused  w 
-  be  allowed  such  observers  of  the  hea 

ing  as  may  be  commensurate  with  th 
space  available.  Otherwise,  in  the  it 
terests  of  the  right  of  privacy  of  th 
accused,  hearings  will  be  private,  e: 
cept  that  the  College  may  also  hav 
observers  additional  to  the  advisors  1 
the  Student  Court.

by  any  College  official,  committee 
or  student  group,  and  for  which

eration  and  review  prior  to

B.    Student  Court 

1.  The  Student  Court  will  be  selected 
by  the  Student  Conduct  Committee 
and  will  be  composed  of  twelve  stu- 
dents. Due  consideration  will  be 
given  to  equitable  apportionment  of 
court  members  on  the  basis  of  ac- 
ademic class,  race,  and  sex.  Stu- 
dents on  academic  probation  may 
not  serve.  All  appointments  will  be 
issued  and  accepted  in  writing.  Ap- 
pointments will  be  made  during 
Spring  Quarter  in  time  for  newly 
elected  members  of  the  Court  to 
assume  their  duties  by  May  1 .  Ap- 
pointments will  be  made  as  needed 
to  keep  the  Student  Court  staffed 
to  do  business  on  a  reasonably 
prompt  basis.  These  appointments 
may  constitute  permanent  or  tem- 
porary replacements  as  the  Stu- 
dent Conduct  Committee  deems 
necessary. 

2.  The  Student  Court  will  elect  a  Pres- 
ident, Vice  President,  and  a  Sec- 
retary from  its  membership.  The 
President  will  preside  at  all  meet- 
ings. The  Vice  President  will  as- 
sume the  duties  of  the  President  if 
the  President  is  absent.  The  Sec- 
retary will  maintain  written  notes  of 
all  proceedings  and  audiotape  rec- 
ords of  all  testimony,  and  will  main- 
tain exhibits  of  evidence  which  by 
their  nature  may  reasonably  be 
maintained  in  the  Court  files.  A  quo- 
rum of  the  Court  shall  consist  of 
seven  members.  A  two-thirds  ma- 
jority secret  ballot  vote  is  required 
to  reach  a  finding  of  guilty.  All  other 
questions  may  be  decided  by  a 
simple  majority  vote. 

3.  Constituency  of  the  Student  Court 
during  the  Summer  Quarter  shall  in- 
clude all  appointed  members  in  at- 


tendance, and  others  shall  be 
appointed  to  membership  by  the 
Student  Conduct  Committee. 
4.  Student  Court  members  shall  ex- 
amine their  consciences  carefully 
to  determine  whether  they  can  in 
good  conscience  serve  on  a  panel 
hearing  a  particular  case,  and  in 
the  event  that  there  is  any  doubt. 
whatsoever,  such  member  shall  ex- 
cuse themselves  from  duty  on  the 
specific  panel  in  question. 
C.    Advisors  to  the  Court 

1.  An  advisor  and  an  associate  ad- 
visor to  the  Student  Court  shall  be 
appointed  by  the  President  of  the 
College. 

2.  Ordinarily  the  advisor  will  serve  in 
that  office  for  one  year  only  and 
usually  will  be  succeeded  in  that 
position  by  the  associate  advisor. 
Therefore,  after  the  initial  appoint- 
ments, only  an  associate  advisor 
will  ordinarily  be  appointed  each 
year.  The  succession  of  an  asso- 
ciate to  the  advisor  position  is 
deemed  to  occur  on  the  last  day  of 
Spring  Quarter.  If,  for  any  reason, 
the  advisor  is  unable  to  complete 
his  term,  the  associate  advisor  shall 
succeed  to  the  office  of  advisor  and 
another  associate  advisor  shall  be 
appointed  by  the  above  proce- 
dures. If,  during  the  Summer 
Quarter,  neither  advisor  is  on  cam- 
pus, a  temporary  advisor  will  be  ap- 
pointed. 

3.  Duties  of  the  advisor  and  the  as- 
sociate advisor:  It  shall  be  the  duty 
of  the  advisor  to  consult  with  the 
Court  and  to  offer  advice  to  the 
President  and  members  of  the 
Court  on  substantive  and  proce- 
dural questions.  The  advisor,  or  the 
associate  advisor  in  the  event  the 
advisor  is  unable  to  attend,  shall  be 
present  at  all  meetings  and  hear- 
ings of  the  Court.  The  advisor  may 
not  vote  nor  may  he  participate  di- 
rectly in  the  conduct  at  hearings 
before  the  Court  except  through  the 
chairman,  or  acting  chairman,  of 
the  Court.  The  advisor  should  be 
governed  at  all  times  by  the  prin- 
ciple that  a  hearing  before  the  Stu- 
dent Court  is  primarily  a  matter  of 
student  responsibility.

ARMSTRONG  STATE  COLLEGE 


Academic 
Policies  and 
Information 
History 

The  college  offers  a  variety  of  master's  degree 
programs.  Effective  July  1,  1990,  all  graduate 
programs  offered  on  the  Armstrong  State  Col- 
lege campus  will  be  administered  in  affiliation 
with  Georgia  Southern  University.  See  specific 
program  department  heads  or  directors  for  fur- 
ther information. 

The  development  of  graduate  education  at 
Armstrong  State  College  is  linked  to  a  history  of 
graduate  course  offerings  in  Savannah  which 
has  involved  several  institutions  of  the  University 
System  of  Georgia.  Prior  to  1968,  only  off-cam- 
pus extension  courses  from  the  University  of 
Georgia  and  other  institutions  were  offered  in 
Savannah.  In  the  summer  of  1968,  Savannah 
State  College  began  offering  courses  in  resi- 
dence for  their  new  master's  degree  in  elemen- 
tary education.  This  program  was  accredited  by 
the  Southern  Association  of  Colleges  and 
Schools  and  was  approved  by  the  Georgia  State 
Board  of  Education. 

In  the  Fall  of  1971,  Armstrong  State  College 
and  Savannah  State  College  joined  efforts  to 
offer  a  joint  program  of  graduate  work.  The  com- 
bined faculties,  library  holdings,  and  facilities  of 
the  Colleges  made  possible  the  expansion  of 
the  graduate  program  to  include  a  Master  of 
Business  Administration  Degree  Program;  to 
add  secondary  options  in  the  Master  of  Edu- 
cation degree  program;  and  to  supersede  most 
of  the  off-campus  courses  offered  in  Savannah 
by  other  institutions.  This  Joint  Graduate  Studies 
Program  of  Savannah  State  College  and  Arm- 
strong State  College  was  fully  accredited  by  the 
Southern  Association  of  Colleges  and  Schools, 
with  its  degree  programs  in  education  approved 
by  the  Georgia  State  Department  of  Education. 

Effective  Fall,  1979,  the  Joint  Graduate  Stud- 
ies Program  was  terminated  by  action  of  the 
Board  of  Regents,  and  Armstrong  was  author- 
ized to  continue  its  graduate  offerings  with  a 
significant  modification.  All  business  administra- 
tion programs,  courses,  and  faculty  were  trans- 
ferred to  Savannah  State  College,  and 
simultaneously,  all  teacher  education  programs, 
courses,  and  faculty  were  transferred  to  Arm- 
strong State  College. 


In  Winter,  1981 ,  the  Master  of  Health  Scienc 
program  was  established.  In  Fall,  1 981 ,  the  Mas 
ter  of  Science  degree  with  a  major  in  Criminc 
Justice  was  approved  by  the  Board  of  Regents 
The  graduate  course  work  for  the  MS  in  Criminc 
Justice  Program  was  initiated  in  the  Fall  quarte 
1982.  Specialist  in  Education  Degree  program 
in  Elementary,  Special,  and  Secondary  Educe 
tion  were  offered  from  Fall,  1984  through  Fal 
1988.  The  graduate  program  leading  to  an  M./ 
in  History  was  initiated  in  the  Spring  Quarte 
1985. 

Purpose 

The  Graduate  Program  of  Armstrong  Stat 
College  is  dedicated  to  service  through  edi 
cational  programs,  community  involvement,  an 
faculty  and  student  research,  scholarship  an

those  who  serve  in  the  schools  and  in  othe 
professional  activities,  the  program  contribute 
to  the  development  of  professional  people,  an 
through  them,  to  the  well  being  of  those  whor

Definition 

Provisional  Admission  means  that  a  student 
has  applied  for  admission  to  a  degree  program 
and  has  some  condition  affecting  his  status  such 
as  low  grades  or  test  scores.  The  student  is 
admitted  to  a  degree  program  but  must  meet 
certain  conditions  before  achieving  full  graduate 
status  (i.e.,  Regular  Admission). 


Requirements 


For  Provisional  Admission,  a  student  must 
hold  a  baccalaureate  degree  and  meet  the  other 
admission  requirements  of  the  Graduate  Pro- 
gram. These  requirements  include  minimum  un- 
dergraduate  grade  point  averages  in 
combination  with  certain  minimum  test  scores. 

For  the  Master  of  Education  programs,  stu- 
dents who  fail  to  meet  Regular  Admission  may 
be  granted  Provisional  Admission  if  the  combi- 
nations of  their  GPA  and  test  scores  conform  to 
the  following  formulas: 

(GPA  x  100)  +  (MAT  x  10)  =  560  or  more 
(GPA  x  100)  +  (GRE  General)  (Verbal 
and  Quantitative)  =  1000  or  more 


In  no  case,  however,  may  the  GPA  be  less 
than  2.2,  the  MAT  less'than  31 ,  or  the  GRE  less 
than  700  (Verbal  and  Quantitative). 

For  the  M.H.S.,  Criminal  Justice,  and  M.S.N. 
Programs,  students  who  fail  to  meet  Regular  Ad- 
mission score  requirements  may  be  granted 
Provisional  Admission  if  the  combinations  of 
their  GPA  and  test  scores  conform  to  estab- 
lished formulas. 

For  the  M.A.  in  History  program,  the  minimum 
GRE  requirement  for  Provisional  Admission  is 
800  (Verbal  and  Quantitative)  for  the  General 
Test  and  450  for  the  History  Subject  Test.  The 
GPA  requirement  is  2.5  overall  and  2.75  in  his- 
tory. For  further  information,  consult  with  the  co- 
ordinator of  the  History  Graduate  Program. 

For  area  test  scores  required  by  any  depart- 
ment, see  the  appropriate  departmental  entry. 

Additional  Stipulations  for 
Provisional  Admission 

As  with  Regular  Admission,  recommendation 
forms  and  other  aspects  of  the  Admissions  Pro- 
cedures must  be  adhered  to. 

Provisionally  admitted  students  may  be  re- 
quired to  remove  any  specific  deficiencies  thai 
are  ascertained  by  taking  undergraduate  sup- 
porting courses  before  these  students  are  al- 
lowed to  attempt  graduate  courses  within  the 
program  to  which  they  have  been  admitted.  Stu- 
dents may  remain  admitted  on  a  provisional  ba- 
sis until  they  have  attempted  15  hours  ol 
approved  graduate  work  in  residence.  If  thev 
satisfactorily  complete  the  initial,  approved.  15 
hours  of  graduate  work  with  no  grade  less  than 
a  "B" — of  which  10  hours  must  be  in  the  profes- 
sional sequence — ,  these  students  may  submil 
a  written  request  to  move  into  Regular  status. 

Upon  completing  25  hours  of  approved 
course  work  in  residence  with  a  "B"  average  or 
better,  of  which  15  hours  must  be  in  the  majoi 
field  of  study,  any  provisionally  admitted  studenl 
will  be  eligible  for  Regular  status.  If  the  studenl 
does  not  have  a  "B"  average  or  better  upon 
completing  these  25  hours  of  course  work,  he 
or  she  will  be  dropped  as  a  degree-seeking  stu- 
dent and  prohibited  from  enrolling  in  further 
graduate  courses.

ACADEMIC 
REGULATIONS 


Graduate  Student 
Responsibility 

The  student  is  charged  with  the  responsibility 
or  taking  the  initiative  in  meeting  all  academic 
requirements  and  in  maintaining  a  careful  check 
:>n  progress  toward  earning  a  degree.  The  stu- 
dent is  responsible  for  discharging  obligations 
'  o  the  business  office  and  the  library  and  for 


adhering  to  the  rules  and  regulations  appertain- 
ing to  graduate  students  in  particular  and  to  all 
students  enrolled  in  a  unit  of  the  University  Sys- 
tem of  Georgia.  It  is  the  student's  responsibility 
to  abide  by  catalog  requirements.  A  student's 
claim  that  he  or  she  has  been  granted  an  ex- 
ception to  these  requirements  must  be  docu- 
mented before  the  merits  of  the  claim  can  be 
evaluated. 


Academic  Advisement 

Upon  admission  to  graduate  study,  each  stu- 
dent will  be  referred  to  a  departmental  office  for 
advisor  assignment.  Consultation  with  the  as- 
signed advisor  is  required  prior  to  registration. 
Each  student  must  process  appropriate  advise- 
ment papers  which  are  available  from  his  or  her 
assigned  advisor  and  which  provide  the  advisor 
clearance  required  for  registration. 

Transient  student  report  to  the  Office  of  the 
appropriate  dean  for  advisement  and  advisor 
clearance. 

Post  Baccalaureate  and  Post  Graduate  stu- 
dents obtain  advisor  clearance  by  processing 
the  non-degree  advisement  form  with  their  as- 
signed advisors.  During  the  quarter  in  which  a 
Post  Baccalaureate  student  achieves  degree- 
seeking  status,  he  or  she  must  process  the  Pro- 
gram of  Study  form. 

Degree-seeking  students,  both  Regular  and 
Provisional  Admission  students,  must  process 
the  Program  of  Study  form  with  their  assigned 
advisor  no  later  than  the  end  of  their  first  quarter 
of  enrollment.  A  temporary  advisor  clearance 
statement  may  be  provided  by  the  advisor  which 
will  be  valid  only  for  the  student's  initial  regis- 
tration. This  temporary  clearance  should  be 
processed  on  non-degree  advisement  form, 
with  appropriate  notations  made  to  indicate  that 
it  is  temporary. 

The  Program  of  Study  shows  the  essential 
courses  the  student  will  take,  transfer  courses 
that  might  apply  to  the  degree,  and  prerequisite 
courses  or  other  prerequisites.  The  Program  of 
Study  must  be  followed  by  the  student  in  fulfilling 
degree  requirements.  However,  the  student  can 
take  courses  additional  to  those  on  his  Program 
of  Study  and  may  enroll  in  the  courses  on  the 
Program  of  Study  during  quarters  other  than 
those  which  might  be  shown  on  his  Program  of 
Study  form.  Moreover,  the  student  may  officially 
modify  his  Program  of  Study  with  the  concur- 
rence of  his  advisor  and  department  head.

Withdrawing;  Dropping, 
Adding  Courses 

Withdrawal  is,  in  the  technical  sense,  drop- 
ping all  courses  and  processing  a  formal  with- 
drawal from  the  College.  A  student  may 
withdraw  from  school  (or  drop  a  single  course) 
at  any  time  during  the  quarter.  Only  by  formally 
withdrawing,  however,  can  a  student  become 
eligible  for  the  refund  of  fees  as  explained  in  the 
section  of  fees.  The  student  bears  the  respon- 
sibility of  contacting  the  graduate  office  to  effect 
a  withdrawal  and  of  contacting  his  professor(s) 
to  determine  what  grade(s)  will  be  assigned  (W 
or  WF). 

Dropping  a  course  should  be  formalized 
through  the  Office  of  the  Registrar  which  will 
process  a  drop/add  slip.  If  a  student  is  taking 


72 


ARMSTRONG  STATE  COLLEGE 


only  one  course,  the  drop  is,  technically,  a  with- 
drawal and  should  be  treated  as  such. 

Adding  a  course  may  be  accomplished 
through  the  Office  of  the  Registrar  which  will 
process  a  drop/add  slip.  Courses  may  be  added 
only  during  the  late  registration  days  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  quarter  and  not  at  any  other  time 
during  the  quarter.  The  student  must  pay  the 
appropriate  fee  for  the  additional  course,  unless 
a  course  equivalent  in  credit  hours  is  being 
dropped  simultaneously. 

Administrative  Withdrawals 

The  College  reserves  the  right  to  effect  the

sortium of  area  public  school  systems  and  in- 
stitutions of  the  University  System  of  Georgia 
offering  graduate  and  undergraduate  courses 
in  teacher  education.

proval from  his  advisor  to  take  a  course  for  de- 
gree credit  prior  to  taking  the  course.  Without 
this  prior  approval,  the  course  is  subject  to  being

cedures described  in  the  catalog  will  be  fol- 
lowed.

graduate  student  at  the  time  of  initial  application 


for  admission.  This  fee  is  not  required  of  forme 
students  from  either  Armstrong  State  College  c 
Savannah  State  College.  The  acceptance  of  th< 
application  fee  does  not  constitute  acceptance 
of  the  student  into  the  graduate  program.  Thi 
fee,  which  is  paid  at  Armstrong  State  College 
is  not  refundable. 


Fee  Information 

Fees  for  the  graduate  programs  are  the  sam

dence and  at  least  one  quarter  prior  to  making 
application  for  the  degree,  the  student  is  re- 
quired to  file  an  application  for  admission  to  can- 
jidacy.  The  student  will  submit  the  completed 
application  to  hs  advisor.  Application  forms  are 
available  in  the  appropriate  Dean's  or  depart- 
nental  offices.

lepartment  offices.  Applications  for  the  degree 

.  hould  be  submitted  two  quarters  prior  to  the 

xpected  date  of  graduation. 


General  Requirements  for  the 
Master's  Degree 

General  requirements  for  obtaining  a  master's 
degree  follows: 

1 .  Admission  to  full  graduate  status,  i.e.,  Reg- 
ular Admission. 

2.  Admission  to  candidacy  for  the  degree. 

3.  Satisfactory  completion  of  at  least  sixty 
hours  of  approved  graduate  level  work. 

4.  Maintenance  of  a  3.00  GPA. 

5.  Satisfactory  completion  of  a  comprehen- 
sive examination  or  thesis  or  both. 

6.  Completion  of  an  application  for  the  degree 
at  the  time  specified. 

For  the  MEd  degree,  the  following  require- 
ment applies: 
1.    Satisfactory  completion  of  certification  re- 
quirements. 

M.Ed.  Certification  Programs 

These  degrees  are  designed  to  comply  with 
the  requirements  for  teacher  certification  at  the 
fifth  year  level  in  the  various  areas  of  speciali- 
zation. The  degree  ordinarily  is  granted  only  to 
students  who  qualify  for  T-5  certification  (or 
equivalent  certification  for  other  states),  which 
in  turn  entails  meeting  T-4  certification  require- 
ments (Georgia).  Students  who  use  graduate 
credits  to  meet  T-4  certification  requirements 
may  be  required  to  take  graduate  courses  be- 
yond the  60  hours  required  for  the  M.Ed,  degree 
in  order  to  meet  T-5  certification  requirements. 
Since  the  M.Ed,  program  requires  60  hours, 
which  is  15  more  than  the  45  minimum  required 
for  the  T-5  by  the  State  Education  Department, 
15  of  the  60  graduate  hours  may  be  used  to 
fulfill  T-4  certification  requirements.  However, 
none  of  the  15  hours  so  used  can  then  be  ap- 
plied toward  meet  the  45  hours  specified  for  the 
T-5. 

Detailed  information  concerning  programs 
and  procedures  relating  to  graduate  teacher 
certification  may  be  obtained  from  Education  Of- 
fices. 

Thirty  Hour  Plan  for  a  Second 
M.Ed.  Degree 

Students  who  have  already  earned  a  master's 
degree  can,  under  certain  circumstances,  earn 
a  second  master's  degree  in  the  Graduate  Pro- 
gram by  completing  as  few  as  30  quarter  hours

1 .  All  general  requirements  (e.g.,  Regular  Ad- 
mission status,  adherence  to  general  aca- 
demic  regulations,  "B"  average, 
comprehensive  examination,  etc.)  and  all 
specific  curricular  requirements  (i.e.,  de- 
partmental prerequisites  for  coures,  spe- 
cific courses,  etc.)  currently  applicable  to 
a  master's  degree  will  apply  to  the  second 
degree  sought,  except  as  explicity  noted 
as  follows: 

2.  For  the  Second  master's  degree: 

A.  The  student  must  take  at  least  30 
quarter  hours  in  residence  additional 
to  course  work  that  was  used  in  ful- 
filling requirements  for  a  previous 
master's  degree.  Additional  hours 
may  be  necessary  in  order  to  fulfill 
curricular  requirements  or  for  such 
purposes  as  teacher  certification  in 
program  designed  as  Approved  Pro- 
grams for  Georgia  State  Certification. 

B.  The  30  (or  more)  hours  in  residence 


must  meet  existing  requirements  c 
recency  of  credit.  For  the  other  hou 
(hours  applied  to  both  the  first  d< 
gree  and  to  the  second  degree),  f

courses:  BIO  370;  BIO  480;  BOT  410  or  ZOO 
410;  one  course  in  botany  numbered  300  or 
above,  other  than  BOT  410;  and  one  course  in 
zoology  numbered  300  or  above,  other  than 
ZOO  410.  If  credit  for  any  of  the  first  three  re- 
quired units  is  transferred  to  Armstrong  from  an- 
other college,  the  department  may  require  that 
it  be  validated  by  examination. 

In  addition,  biology  majors  must  complete  el- 
ementary statistics  and  the  course  sequence  in 
organic  chemistry  (15  quarter  hours).  The 
course  in  general  college  physics  (15  quarter 
hours)  is  strongly  recommended  and  should  be 
considered  essential  for  those  who  expect  to 
continue  the  study  of  biology  beyond  the  B.S. 
degree. 

To  be  eligible  for  a  B.S.  degree  in  biology  the 
student  must  have  a  grade  of  at  least  "C"  for  all 
biology  courses. 

Beginning  students  who  have  successfully 
completed  strong  courses  in  biology  in  high 
school  may  take  examinations  for  advanced 
placement  or  for  credit  for  BIO  101  and/or  102. 
Arrangements  to  take  these  examinations  may 
be  made  with  the  head  of  the  department. 

In  order  to  receive  Core  Curriculum  credits  for 
the  biology  laboratory  science  sequence  by  tak- 
ing biology  in  the  Savannah  State-Armstrong  ex- 
change program,  a  student  must  take  the 
ENTIRE  sequence  of  ten  quarter  hours  either  at 
Armstrong  State  College  or  at  Savannah  State 
College. 

By  careful  use  of  electives  a  student  majoring 
in  biology  may  concurrently  acquire  a  second 
major  in  chemistry  (i.e.,  he  may  take  a  "double 
major").  This  program  is  recommended  for  pre- 
professional  students.  It  does  require  10  to  20 
quarter  hours  credit  above  the  minimum  re- 
quired for  graduation.  Ask  the  department  head 
for  additional  information.

Directed  Individual  Studies  (DIS) 

Directed  Individual  Studies  (DIS)  have  a  dis- 
tinctly useful  place  in  the  Fine  Arts  curriculum. 
The  intent  of  the  DIS  is  for  an  enrichment  ex- 
perience that  otherwise  is  unavailable  in  the 
classroom.  Normally,  regular  curriculum  course- 
work  should  not  be  completed  by  individual 
study. 

However,  if  a  regular  course  is  to  be  taught 
by  individual  study,  the  following  criteria  must 
be  met  before  approval  may  be  granted  by  the 
department  head:  1)  the  course  must  not  have 
been  offered  during  the  preceding  three  quar- 
ters nor  be  scheduled  during  the  succeeding 
three  quarters;  2)  the  student  must  gain  the  ap- 
proval of  the  anticipated  instructor;  3)  transient 
students  must  gain  the  permission  of  not  only 
the  department  head,  but  the  dean  of  faculty, 
and  of  the  college  from  which  the  student 
comes;  and  4)  the  student  must  demonstrate,  in 
writing,  that  a  hardship  will  exist  if  permission  is 
denied,  for  the  student  to  take  an  individual 
study.

raduate  Faculty 

The  Department  of  Government  embraces  the 
leal  of  liberal  education  and  views  education 
related  professional  areas  as  an  extension, 
ither  than  the  antithesis,  of  liberal  education, 
onsequently,  all  departmental  programs  and 
Durses  are  conceptually-based,  thereby  ena- 
ling  students  to  develop  a  theoretical  sophis- 
:ation  applicable  to  practical  realities.  So 
Dnceived,  courses  and  programs  achieve  cur- 
:ular  integrity. 

The  Department  firmly  believes  that  even  cur- 
:uiar  integrity  is  not  enough,  however.  Instruc- 
onal  effectiveness  is  its  inseparable 
implement,  and  attainment  of  these  twin  goals 
irves  as  the  primary  purpose  of  the  Depart- 
ed of  Government.  The  ongoing  program  of 
culty  development  ensures  that  the  staff  of 
ghiy  qualified  educators — each  selected  for 
jrvice  on  the  basis  of  solid  professional  cre- 
entials — continually  achieves  that  primary  pur- 
Dse. 

In  addition,  the  Department  of  Government 
ghly  values  both  research  and  service.  To  the 
<tent  of  resources  available,  the  Department 
icourages  research  by  both  faculty  and  stu-

Minor  Concentrations 

The  Department  of  Government  offers  a  num- 
ber of  minor  concentrations. 

A  minor  in  Criminal  Justice  or  in  Political  Sci- 
ence has  great  practical  value.  Its  notation  on 
the  transcript  indicates  to  an  employer  that  the 
applicant  has  some  solid  liberal  arts  back- 
ground with  its  accompanying  insight  into  the 
development  and  functioning  of  modern  society, 
and  that  the  applicant  has  made  an  extra  effort 
to  refine  research  and  writing  skills  so  essential 
to  dealing  with  that  society.  Whatever  the  major 
one  chooses,  such  a  minor  will  strengthen  the 
student's  academic  record. 

Minor  concentrations  are  available  in  Eco- 
nomics, International  Studies,  Russian  Studies, 
Public  Administration,  Criminal  Justice,  Political 
Science,  and  Legal  Studies.

The  History  Major 

The  major  in  history  may  take  either  of  two 
forms:  History  per  se  or  History  with  T-4  Certi- 
fication. 

Students  who  major  in  history  should  expect 
to  enroll  in  a  foreign  language  sequence  during 
their  Sophomore  year,  certainly  not  later  than 
their  Junior  year.  Therefore,  students  should 
plan  their  programs  of  study  with  careful  con- 
sultation with  a  Faculty  Advisor.  Students  who 
change  majors,  or  who  transfer,  may  find  it  nec- 
essary to  enroll  beyond  the  traditional  12  quar- 
ters, if  the  degree  requirements  including  the 
foreign  language  cannot  be  fulfilled  within  that 
time. 

Students  enrolled  in  the  evening  program 
should  not  expect  to  be  exempted  from  the  for- 
eign language  requirement,  unless  for  a  three- 
year  period  prior  to  graduation  no  available  for- 
eign language  sequence  is  offered  in  the  eve- 
ning. 

In  addition  to  meeting  minimum  requirements 
for  either  program,  students  contemplating 
graduate  work  in  history  are  strongly  advised  to 
continue  their  linguistic  study  beyond  the  lan- 
guage sequence  1 03  level.  Students  with  a  dou- 
ble major,  where  Computer  Science  is  a 
language  choice,  may  substitute  Computer  Sci- 
ence for  the  foreign  language  requirement  in 
history. 

Advanced  coursework  in  History  for  either 
form  of  the  major  requires  HIS  300  and  HIS  495 
or  496.  In  selecting  the  remainder  of  their  ad- 
vanced courses  students  may  choose  to  con- 
centrate in  one  particular  area  of  History  (e.g. 
European  or  American),  providing  they  diversify 
to  the  extent  of  completing  at  least  ten  hours 
outside  that  area. 

A  history  concentration  is  also  available  to 
those  pursuing  the  B.G.S.  degree,  both  on  cam- 
pus and  at  the  Brunswick  Center.

society,  and  that  the  applicant  has  made  an  ex- 
tra effort  to  refine  research  and  writing  skills  so 
essential  to  dealing  with  that  society.  Whatever

Objectives 

The  program  offers  students  an  opportunity 
to  achieve  a  graduate  liberal  arts  degree  that 
can  support  a  broad  range  of  personal,  profes- 
sional, and  educational  objectives.  Obtaining  an 
M.A.  in  History  can  lead  to  employment  oppor- 
tunities for  students  as  archivists,  local  history 
society  directors,  historic  site  directors,  local 
museum  directors,  and  professionals  in  the  field 
of  cultural  resource  preservation.  The  research 
skills,  experience  in  analytical  thinking,  and  abil- 
ity to  express  oneself  orally  and  in  writing  will 
be  of  benefit  to  a  student  in  seeking  employment 
in  governmental  and  military  service  and  teach- 
ing at  private  schools,  as  well  as  preparing  a 
student  for  further  graduate  study.  The  M.A.  de-

English  Composition 

Entering  students  should  begin  the  required 
English  core  sequence  in  their  initial  quarter  of 
attendance.  Students  must  not  delay  beginning 
this  sequence  beyond  their  second  quarter  of 
attendance.  Students  must  enroll  in  the  appro- 
priate course  in  the  core  sequence  and  do  so 
each  quarter  until  they  complete  the  sequence 
: and/or  pass  the  Regents'  Test.  ENG  101,  102, 
and  201  courses  may  not  be  dropped  without 
permission  from  Dr.  Strozier,  Department  Head. 
Students  who  do  drop  these  courses  without 
Department  Head  approval  will  receive  a  failing 
grade  in  the  class. 

Transfer  students  who  have  not  completed  the 
required  English  composition  courses  pre- 
scribed by  Armstrong  degree  programs  will  be 
expected  to  take  an  English  Placement  Test

ENG  101  and  ENG  102. 

The  transferred  English  composition  credits 
will  show  the  number  and  title  of  the  sending 
institution  so  that  the  composition  courses  taken 
at  Armstrong  will  not  necessarily  be  shown  as 
repeats.  These  transferred  courses  may  then  be 
used  as  elective  credit  to  complete  degree  re-

Coordinator:  Dr.  Dale  Kilhefner 


The  college  offers  a  variety  of  master's  degree 
programs.  Effective  July  1,  1990,  all  graduate 
programs  offered  on  the  Armstrong  State  Col- 
lege campus  will  be  administered  in  affiliation 
with  Georgia  Southern  University.  See  specific 
program  department  head  for  further  informa- 
tion. 


Objectives 

The  Department  of  Mathematics  and  Com- 
puter Science,  in  cooperation  with  the  School  of 
Education,  offers  a  program  of  study  leading  to 
the  degree  of  Master  of  Education.  The  objec- 
tives of  this  program  are: 

1 .  To  enhance  the  academic  and  profes- 
sional competence  of  mathematics 
teachers  in  secondary  schools. 

2.  To  develop  the  skills,  confidence,  en- 
thusiasm, and  understanding  that 
such  teachers  need  in  order  to  meet 
the  present  scientific  and  technologi- 
cal challenges  of  modern  society. 

3.  To  acquaint  secondary  mathematics 
teachers  with  the  various  major 


branches  of  mathematics  which  are 
relevant  to  modern  secondary  math- 
ematics curricula. 

Advisement 

Shortly  after  being  admitted  to  the  MEd  i 
gree  program  in  mathematics,  each  student 
be  assigned  an  advisor.  Upon  notification  of  t 
assignment,  the  student  should  arrange  fo 
conference  and  begin  planning  a  degree  p 
gram.  Failure  by  the  student  to  consult  reguU 
may  greatly  lengthen  the  time  necessary  to  cc 
plete  the  program. 

Transfer  of  Courses 

Students  who  wish  to  transfer  graduate  ere 
for  courses  taken  at  other  institutions  sho 
note  the  general  limitations  and  procedures 
this  graduate  catalog.  Such  transfer  of  credi 
handled  on  an  individual  basis  and  requires 
written  approval  of  the  student's  advisor,  the 
partment  head,  and  the  appropriate  dean. 

Comprehensive  Examinations 

During  their  final  quarter,  students  are 
quired  to  pass  an  oral  comprehensive  exa 
nation,  covering  the  areas  in  which  they  if 
had  course  work.  Students  exempting  the  I 
cuius  or  geometry  course  will  be  expectec 
demonstrate  proficiency  in  these  areas  on 
comprehensive  examiantions.  Students  she 
notify  their  advisor  and  the  department  head 
later  than  midterm  of  their  next-to-final'  qua! 
of  their  intention  to  take  the  comprehensive 
amination  during  the  following  quarter.    . 

The  committee  administering  this  comprer 
sive  examination  will  consist  of  three  memk 
of  the  graduate  faculty  of  the  Departmen 
Mathematics  and  Computer  Science  choser 
the  department  head,  and  one  member  of 
graduate  faculty  of  the  School  of  Education  c 
sen  by  the  Department  of  Secondary  Educa1 
The  department  head  will  notify  the  studerl 
the  proposed  time,  date,  and  place  of  the) 
amination,  and  the  composition  of  the  com! 
tee. 

Students  who  fail  the  oral  comprehensive* 
amination  may  request  to  take  a  written  en 
prehensive  examination  one  time  during.'! 
same  quarter.  Passing  the  written  examine! 
will  satisfy  the  comprehensive  examination

velopment and  the  latest  trends  in  curriculum; 
(3)  deepening  the  student's  appreciation  for 
performance  in  scientific  investigation  and  re- 
search; and  (4)  promoting  personal  and  profes- 
sional maturity  of  the  student  that  will  be 
reflected  in  the  student's  relationships  at  work

Social  Studies  Education 


Objectives 

The  purpose  of  the  graduate  program  in  So- 
cial Studies  is,  first  and  foremost,  to  increase  the 
academic  and  professional  skills,  competence, 
and  enthusiasm  of  secondary  teachers  in  their 
special  fields  and  in  the  social  studies  generally. 

In  the  broadest  sense,  the  goal  is  to  provide 
continuing  intellectual  enrichment  to  mature 
adults  of  diverse  interests,  whose  desire  for 
learning  has  not  ceased  and  for  whom  any  de- 
gree marks  but  a  stage  in  a  continuing  process 
of  personal  growth. 

Advisement 

Shortly  after  admission  to  the  program  in  So- 
cial Studies,  each  student  should  contact  the 
coordinator  to  secure  an  advisor.  As  soon  as 
notified  of  the  assigned  advisor,  the  student 
should  arrange  for  a  conference  and  begin  plan- 
ning a  degree  program.  Failure  by  the  student 
to  consult  regularly  with  the  advisor  may  greatly 
lengthen  the  time  necessary  to  complete  the 
program. 

Transfer  of  Courses 

Students  who  have  earned  graduate  credits 
at  one  or  more  accredited  institutions  may,  un- 


der certain  circumstances,  transfer  a  limil 
number  of  quarter  hours  of  such  credits  to

cial  Studies.  Such  transfer  of  credits  is  hand 
on  an  individual  basis  and  requires  the  writ 
approval  of  the  student's  advisor  and  t  e  [ 
partment  Head.  In  any  case,  no  more  than 
hours  credit  will  be  considered  for  transfer  i 
the  major  field. 

Comprehensive  Examination 

Satisfactory  performance  on  comprehens 
examinations,  both  written  and  oral,  will  be 
quired  of  all  degree  candidates.  (The  oral  cc 
prehensive  examination  required  of  ' 
candidates  for  the  Master's  degree",  will  be  { 
isfied  by  taking  the  oral  comprehensive  exa 
nation  required  in  this  section.)  Candida

be  examined  at  the  time  they  apply  for  the 
gree — i.e.,  no  later  than  mid-term  of  their  r 
to  final  quarter.  The  Departments  of  Governrr

Graduate  Program  and  Courses 

Health  Science 

Coordinator:  Dr.  Emma  Simon 


The  college  offers  a  variety  of  master's  degree 
programs.  Effective  July  1,  1990,  all  graduate 
programs  offered  on  the  Armstrong  State  Col- 
lege campus  will  be  administered  in  affiliation 
with  Georgia  Southern  University.  See  specific 
program  director  for  further  information. 

Objectives 

The  Master  of  Health  Science  Program  is  de- 
signed to  enhance  the  concept  of  health  on  be- 
half of  individuals  and  the  general  public.  The 
curriculum  will  emphasize  health  promotion, 
wellness  and  prevention  rather  than  the  curing 
of  illness.  The  primary  format  will  be  an  inter- 
disciplinary approach  which  permits  a  more 
global  view  of  health.  More  specific  objectives 
are: 

1 .  To  teach  individuals  that  behavioral  change 
can  occur  through  education. 

2.  To  foster  health,  health  promotion,  and  dis- 
ease prevention; 

3.  To  prepare  competent,  knowledgeable 
health  educators;  and, 

4.  To  provide  health  practitioners  the  oppor- 
tunity to  gain  expertise  in  the  individualized 
health  related  areas. 

Advisement 

Each  student  admitted  to  the  MHS  program 
will  be  assigned  an  advisor.  As  soon  as  the  stu- 
dent is  notified  of  this  assignment,  a  conference 
between  the  advisor  and  advisee  should  be  ar- 
ranged. An  approved  program  of  study  will  be 
determined  for  each  student. 


Comprehensive  Examination 

Satisfactory  performance  on  the  comprehen- 
sive examination  is  required  of  all  candidates 
As  coursework  nears  completion,  the  studen 
should  contact  the  program  coordinator  tc 
schedule  the  examination  two  quarters  prior  tc 
graduation.
