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
its academic purpose.
Administration
The administration ensures equal opportunity
and access to employment, admissions, and
programs and services of the College without
regard to age, sex, race, national origin, color,
religion, or physical handicap. It encourages
faculty research and development, and pro-
vides an environment which enables faculty
members to participate in the search for knowl-
edge. It secures and manages funds necessary
to maintain the College's academic programs,
library, and support services. Furthermore, the.
administration provides systems of campus
governance which are responsive to the con-
cerns of students, faculty, staff, and the Board
of Regents. And finally, it acquires and maintains
facilities and equipment necessary to support
the College.
PROGRAMS
11
Community Service
A regional resource for information and ex-
pertise, the college is responsive to the unique
educational and community service needs of its
constituency. By combining efforts with the com-
munity, the college designs and conducts con-
tinuing education programs and offers a variety
of cultural and athletic events. Moreover, it lib-
erally shares its physical facilities and grounds
for the betterment of the academic and cultural
life of the community.
Location
Armstrong students find much to enjoy about
living in the cosmopolitan city of Savannah, the
major urban area (pop. 200,000) in coastal
Georgia. The college's 250 acre campus is lo-
cated in a residential area of the city which pro-
motes a feeling of freedom and security on
campus.
Savannah, Georgia's founding city, has all the
historic and cultural variety of a metropolitan city
with the added advantage of the ocean at its
jack door. A temperate climate encourages out-
door activities and recreation year round. Beach
and river outings include sailing, boating, water
ikiing sunning and beachcombing. Golf, ten-
iis, fishing and hunting are also popular.
A resident symphony orchestra, dance and
heatre groups, and visiting entertainment
groups regularly perform at the Civic Center,
special celebrations and other festivals are
scheduled throughout the year.
The nistoric past lives in harmony with today's
progress in Savannah. As a living laboratory for
listory, Savannah is unsurpassed yet the Sa-
vannah port is one of the busiest on the Atlantic
coast.
Community oriented leisure activities comple-
nent on-campus happenings. A growing NCAA
"itercollegiate athletic program, active intra-
orals, concerts, plays and special entertain-
ment mean lots to do without leaving campus.

The Coastal Georgia Center for Continuing
Education was established in 1979 to combine
14
ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE
the resources of Armstrong State College's
Community Services Division and Savannah
State College's Extended Services Division. The
Center operates a unified continuing education
program dedicated to serving the people of Sa-
vannah, Chatham County, the State of Georgia
and, for some programs, persons beyond those
boundaries.
A wide variety of programs is offered at Arm-
strong State College, Savannah State College,
the Downtown Center and, when it is appropri-
ate, at job sites, schools, community centers,
and other locations in Savannah. Instructors are
drawn from the faculties of both institutions, from
qualified experts in the Savannah community,
and from consultants throughout the region.
On the Armstrong campus, the major com-
munity services/continuing education compo-
nent of the college is the short-course/
conference program. This unit administers non-
degree courses, conferences, and seminars de-
signed for area residents who do not wish to
participate in the regular credit classes offered
by the college. These activities vary widely —
some are related to professional development,
others reflect personal interests, while others are
recreational in nature. The Registrar maintains
permanent records of persons participating in
activities that meet certain criteria.

sion of the Center is to provide certification
classes for law enforcement and jail officers. In
addition, there are numerous advanced and
specialized courses for higher certification cred-
its. The training center has four full-time staff
members and a large part-time instructor cadre.

Student Life
One of the primary aims of the educational
mission at Armstrong State College is the total
development of students. This growth process
is enhanced by integrating opportunities for so-
cial, emotional, cultural, physical and spiritual
development in addition to intellectual growth.
The Office of Student Affairs is committed to
providing programs and services which foster
an educational environment which will assist stu-
dents in achieving theirfull potential. The college
encourages learning through involvement in the
residence center, student government, campus
organizations, intramurals, and more.
Residence Life and Food
Service
The residence center, completed in Septem-
ber of 1985, consists of three buildings which
house 64 students each. The apartment-style
design encourages student interaction without
a loss of privacy. Each two-bedroom suite, ac-
commodating four students, has a bath and liv-
ing room. All units are fully furnished, carpeted,
and have unit-controlled heat and air condition-
ing. Phone jacks and an on-site coin laundry are
added conveniences. Several units are
equipped to accommodate handicapped stu-
dents, the residence complex is staffed by a
head resident and resident assistants. These
students are chosen on the basis of leadership
and willingness to serve their fellow students.

ily or friends. Counselors give tests to measure
interest and ability, provide information to ex-
plore education and work opportunities, and in-
struct students on the use of computerized

and Veterans Affairs helpful in advising about
admissions procedures and services available
to them.
Handicapped Students are provided with
needed services on an individual basis. After
students are accepted to the college, if they
have special needs as a result of a physical
disability, they should plan to set up an appoint-
ment in the office of student affairs to discuss
their disability as it relates to their educational
program. The college counselors and the vice
president for student affairs will then attempt to
provide services so that each handicapped stu-
dent has a positive educational experience at
Armstrong State College.
The Minority Advisement Program helps
minority students develop interest in all facets
of college life. A peer advisor offers one-on-one
assistance to students in adjusting to personal
and academic life on campus. In addition, so-
cial, cultural and educational activities designed
to broaden all students' knowledge of Black
people and their contributions to society are pre-
sented.
The Adults Back to College Program meets
the special needs and concerns of the non-tra-
ditional student. Mature students who are be-
ginning college or are returning after several
years away will find that the A. B.C. program will

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.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
39
In general, students who enter the College at
the beginning of the Fall Quarter have a greater
opportunity to receive financial assistance then
:hose who enter later in the academic year. The
awards processing time usually runs from May
1 to August 31. It is during this period that the
Office of Student Financial Aid distributes its
/early allocation of funds to students who have
:ompleted the process cycle. In the event that
here is a shortage of funds, students who are
eligible for financial aid but whose applications
vere late will be placed on a waiting list until
;uch time as funds become available.
Students are eligible to apply for financial as-
;istance provided that: (1 ) the student meets the
equirements pertinent to the program(s) from
vhich assistance is sought; and (2) the student
lias been admitted to the college or is enrolled
I good standing and is making satisfactory ac-
idemic progress. Students who are classified
s Transient, continuing Education, or Ex-
hange are not eligible for financial aid. Stu-
lents are required to adhere to all regulations
md requirements of the program from which
ley receive assistance and to notify the Office
f Financial Aid of any change in status which
lay affect their eligibility for aid.
application Information
An applicant for student financial aid must:

It may be necessary to complete additional

cular program. Applications for financial assis-
. ince must be repeated annually. Most student
\ nancial aid awards are for the entire academic
[ aar, with payments made to the student in
, qual quarterly installments.
The minimum number of quarter hours for
hich a student financial aid recipient may enroll
per quarter varies from program to program.
Some require at least 12 hours per quarter (full-
time status). Most programs require that the stu-
dent be enrolled at least half-time, taking 6 or
more quarter hours.
Students applying for financial aid, whether
eligible or not, who do not meet or adhere to the
above requirements will not be considered for
financial aid. It is the responsibility of the parents
and/or student to determine that all pertinent in-
formation and data have been obtained and are
located in the Office of Student Financial Aid to
assure a complete and accurate awarding of
financial assistance.
When the student has received acknowl-
edgement from the College Scholarship Service
that the Financial Aid Form (FAF) has been sent
to the College and the student has delivered the
PELL Grant Aid Report (SAR) and the Request
for Student Financial Aid, the Office of Student
Financial Aid will send the student a tentative
award notice. The student should schedule an
appointment with a financial aid officer. The of-
ficer will discuss the student's financial aid pack-
age, and a final award letter indicating the type
of award(s) and amount(s) will be processed.
Students who submit the PELL Grant Student
Aid Report only will not be considered for any
other type of financial assistance awarded for
the College.
Transfer Students
In addition to the above requirements for all
financial aid students, transfer students are re-
quired to submit a complete Financial Aid Tran-
script from the financial aid office of each
institution of higher education previously at-
tended whether or not aid was received. No
awards will be made until these documents have
been received by the Office of Student Financial
Aid.

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.

availability of funds.

they failed to earn the required number

meetings and the effect of attendance on the
grades in a course are left to the discretion of
the instructor.
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
for submitting on time all assignments and tests,
recitations and unannounced quizzes.
The instructor will be responsible for informing
each class at its first meeting what constitutes
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.
Academic Standing
The college recognizes four academic cate-
gories: Good Standing, Good Standing with
Warning, Academic Probation, and Academic
Suspension. Students are expected to maintain
or exceed the grade point average (GPA) as
indicated in the chart below.

A student who falls below the required GPA
for the first time is placed on Good Standing
with Warning. Failure to raise the adjusted GPA
to the required level during the next quarter will
result in Academic Probation. Students on Ac-
ademic Probation are not in Good Standing. If
the student's adjusted GPA is raised to the re-
quired level, the student is returned to Good
Standing. The second or any subsequent failure
to meet the required GPA will result in Academic
Probation. In order to participate in extracurri-
cular activities endorsed by the college, stu-

who neither achieve the required adjusted GPA
nor earn at least a 2.0 average during the pro-
bationary quarter will be placed on Academic
Suspension from the college for one quarter. A
student on Academic Suspension for the first

lonor Code
| The Honor Code at Armstrong State College
dedicated to the proposition that the protec-
>n of the grading system is in the interest of
e student community. The Student Court is an
stitutional means to assure that the student
)mmunity shall have primary disposition of in-
actions of the Honor Code and that students
xused of such infractions shall enjoy those
ocedural guarantees traditionally considered
jsential to fair and impartial hearing, the fore-
ost of which is the presumption of innocence
itil guilt be established beyond a reasonable
)ubt
Responsibilities of students:
Ail students must agree to abide by the
rules of the Honor Code. A student shall not
be accepted at Armstrong State College
unless he or she signs a statement affirming
his understanding of this agreement. The
Honor Code shall be printed in the official
bulletin and the Student Handbook.
It will be the responsibility of the Stu-
dent Court or its designated representative
to conduct an orientation program at the
beginning of each quarter for all newly en-
tering students to explain fully the Honor
Code and to allow full discussion of its re-
quirements.
Any student desiring assistance with
any matter related to the Honor Code is
invited to seek assistance in the Office of
Student Affairs.
Violations of the Honor Code:
Violations of the Honor Code may be of
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
50
ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE
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.

dent Court and Advisors to the Studei
Court:
A. Student Conduct Committee
1. The Student Conduct Committe
shall be responsible to the facul

student conduct that are proposed
by any College official, committee
or student group, and for which
sanctions may be imposed in the
name of the College, must be sub-
mitted to the Committee for consid-
eration and review prior to
submission to the faculty and the
student body. The Committee shall
have 10 days in which to review the
same.
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.

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.

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.

visor to the Student Court shall be
appointed by the President of the
College.

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
creativity. By offering advanced preparation t
those who serve in the schools and in othe
professional activities, the program contribute

Categories of Admission
Regular Degree Status
Definition
Regular Admission means that a student has
met all admission requirements and is admitted
to a degree program with full graduate status.
Requirements
A student who has earned a baccalaureate
degree from an accredited college, who has
completed all of the prerequisites for his
planned graduate field of study, and who meets
the other requirements of the Graduate Program
may be admitted on Regular Admission status.
These requirements include minimum under-
graduate grade-point averages in combination
with certain minimum test scores.
For M.Ed, programs, a minimum GPA of 2.5
and a minimum test score of 44 on the MAT or
800 (Verbal and Quantitative) on the GRE Gen-
eral Test are required.
For the M.H.S. program, a minimum GPA of
2.5, and a minimum test score of 800 (Verbal
and Quantitative) on the GRE, or 40 on the MAT
are required. For further information, consult with
the Coordinator of the Health Science Program.
For the Criminal Justice M.S. program, a min-
imum GPA of 2.5 and a minimum test score of
either 900 (Verbal and Quantitative) on the Gen-
eral Test of the GRE or 51 on the MAT are re-
66
ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE
quired. For further information consult with the
Head of the Department of Government.
For the M.A. in History program, a minimum
GPA of 3.0 (both overall and in history courses)
and GRE scores of 1000 (Verbal and Quanti-
tative) in the General and 500 in the History Sub-
ject Tests are required. For further information

in which a student has been employed as a
teacher or has completed a student internship,
and recommendations from two faculty of the
college the student attended, and (2) eligibility
for fourth level certification in the field of study.
(For further information on admission to certifi-
cation programs, consult the Office of the Dean
of Arts, Sciences, and Education.)
Provisional Degree Status
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.
Post Baccalaureate and Post
Graduate — Non-degree Status
Post Baccalaureate and Post Graduate ad-
mission are provided for those students whc

nay not wish to pursue a graduate degree, in-
cluding teachers whose main purpose is to ob-
;ain credits necessary for teacher certification
and/or for students who may desire to enter a
degree program but who have missing data.
Requirements for Post Baccalaureate Admis-
sion include documentary evidence of a bac-
:alaureate degree and submission of necessary
application papers. The student must also have

courses in certain departments. Post Graduate
Admission requirements are the same except
Ihat a graduate degree is required.
! No more than fifteen graduate hours earned
vhile enrolled as a Post Graduate or Post Bac-
[alaureate student may be applied toward a
master's degree.
A student admitted on non-degree status who
]/ishes to be advanced to a degree status cat-
jgory of admission bears the responsibility for:
1 Meeting all requirements for degree status
which are in effect at the time the student
submits the required data and documents
for degree status.
\2. Notifying the appropriate Dean in writing of
the intent and desire to advance to degree
status.
I Action by the Dean to advance a non-degree

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.
70
ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE
Students should note that any departure from
the catalog requirements for a degree must be
approved by the appropriate dean.
International Student
Advisement
Specialized advisement is available for inter-
national students from the Graduate Interna-
tional Student Advisor, Dr. Steve Rhee, located
in room 108-5, Solms Hall.
Registration
Before a student may register for graduate
courses, the individual must be formally admit-
ted as a graduate student (although some 500
and 600 level courses may be taken by qualified
undergraduate seniors upon complying with re-
quirements and procedures stipulated by and
available in the Dean's Offices). If circumstan-
ces require it, the student must be readmitted
(see section on Admissions, paragraph on
Readmissions). In order to register, a student
will be required to show at registration a permit
to register card, which must be signed by the
advisor.
Transfer of Credits
Credit may be transferred from another insti-
tuion, provided:
1 . that only up to 15 hours of graduate credit
taken while in a non-degree status may be
applied to a degree program.
2. that each course equates with a course in
the curriculum of the Graduate Program or
is an acceptable elective.
3. that the credit was earned in an accredited
graduate program.
4. that a grade of B or better was earned in
each course.
5. that the credit was earned no more than six
years prior to completion of all degree re-
quirements.
6. that no more than fifty percent of the re-
quired credits shall be transferred for use
towards a master's degree (i.e., no more
than 50% of either the required professional
education credits or other credits in the
master's programs). M.Ed, programs limit
total transfer credits to 15 hours.
Information about the amount of credit trans-
ferable for a particular degree program, can be
located in the appropriate departmental entry.
Procedures for Processing
Transfer Credits
Requests by students to receive transfe
graduate credit must be supported by two cop
ies of the graduate transcript showing the cred
its requested. The formal request for receiving
transfer credit is part of the Application for Can
didacy which the student must process upor
the completion of 25 hours of graduate work
This application is obtained in the Graduate Of
fice. The two graduate transcripts should b<
sent to the office of the appropriate dean.
Advisement on transfer of credit is routinei'
provided on the Program of Study form whicl
every degree-seeking student must completi
with his advisor in the first quarter of enrollmenl
Formal approval of transfer credit is granted vi;
the student's Application for Candidacy whicl
requires approval by the student's advisor, De
partment Head, and appropriate dean.
Prospective students may write to the De
partment Coordinator in their area of study I
obtain advisement on transfer of credit.
Reports and Grades
In the Graduate Program grades assigned ar
A, B, C, D, F, (failure), I (incomplete), W (witr
drew with no penalty), and WF (withdrew failing
The grade of W does not enter into computin
a student's grade point average.
Stipulations applicable to symbols used in It-
Graduate Program include:
I— incomplete. May be awarded (only in erne
gency cases) by an instructor, who will also sti|
ulate the conditions for its removal. A grade i
I must be removed by completing the course t
midterm of the following quarter or it become
an automatic F.
W — withdrawal without penalty. May t
awarded by an instructor up to the mid-quarti
period in a course. Regents' policy stipulate
that "Withdrawals without penalty will not be pe
mitted after the mid-point of the total gradrr
period (including final examinations) except
cases of hardship as determined by the appr
priate official of the respective institutions." Wit i
drawals after midterm require approval of tr
Graduate Dean.
WF — withdrew failing. May be awarded by i-
instructor anytime that a student withdraws fro
a course after the drop/add period; mandato
after midquarter except for hardship cases J
stipulated above for grades of W.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS
71
V — audit. Use of this symbol is subject to the
discretion of the individual graduate depart-
ments, and the departments may require that a
student receive the permission of the instructor
to audit a course prior to registering for the
course. Moreover, an auditing student must pay
the usual fees, must register for the course, and
may not transfer from audit to credit status (vice
versa).
S and U— satisfactory and unsatisfactory; see
above. Specific courses receiving these grades
are identified in departmental course listings.
Comprehensive examinations are given these
grades also.
K— credit by examination. Use of this symbol
is subject to the discretion of the individual grad-
jate departments.
Students expecting to receive grades of V or
K must insure that they are enrolled in an ap-
oropriate course or activity for which V or K
grades are awarded by the appropriate de-
oartment. If this catalog does not show in the
departmental entries that the given departments
nave authorized the use of V or K, then a student
expecting to receive a V in a course should ob-
ain written verification from the appropriate in-
structor prior to registering for the course that V
/vili be awarded.
Gradepoint averages are calculated on all
graduate work attempted, and no credits with a
^rade beiow C may apply toward a degree.
Course Eligibility
Courses numbered 500 through 699 are open
o qualified Undergraduate seniors, with ap-
Droval of their respective department heads,
and to graduate students. In such courses, the
quantity and quality of the work required of the
graduate students will be on the same level as
hat required in those courses offered exclu-
sively for graduate students. Courses numbered
700 and above are open only to graduate stu-
dents. Candidates for degrees must take at least
| ifty percent of their courses at the 700 level.
Academic Probation and
Standing
Any student who falls below a 3.0 (b) average
jhall be on Academic Probation.
Any student in a degree program on Regular
Xdmission status who does not achieve a 3.0
graduate cumulative GPA after completing 25
or more graduate hours shall be placed on Ac-
ademic Probation and must achieve a 3.0 grad- >
uate GPA in order to return to Regular Admission
status. Any student on Academic Probation who
earns less than a B in any course or who ac-
cumulates 75 hours while on Academic Proba-
tion shall be dropped as a degree-seeking
student and shall be placed on permanent non-
degree status.
Any student on Provisional Admission status
who does not achieve a 3.0 graduate cumulative
GPA upon completing 25 graduate hours shall
be dropped as a degree-seeking student and
shall be placed on permanent non-degree sta-
tus.
Any student on Post Baccalaureate status
who does not achieve a 3.0 graduate cumulative
GPA shall be placed on Academic Probation.
Any student whose graduate cumulative GPA
falls below 2.5 after completing 25 or more hours
shall be prohibited from taking further graduate
work.
Course Load & Limitation
A full-time graduate student is defined as one
who is registered for 10 or more graduate credit
hours.
A graduate student may not carry more than
15 hours per quarter. Exceptions must be ap-
proved in writing by the advisor. Students on
Academic Probation or on Provisional Admis-
sions status should carefully plan their course
loads in consultation with their advisors.
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
withdrawal of any student at any time during a
course of studies if the student does not meet
financial obligations or the required standards
of scholarship, or if he fails in any way to meet
the standards of the Graduate Program.
GATES Courses
Armstrong State College particpates in the
Coastal Area Teacher Education Service, a con-
sortium of area public school systems and in-
stitutions of the University System of Georgia
offering graduate and undergraduate courses
in teacher education.
A student who wishes to apply CATES course
credit to his degree program must obtain ap-
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
treated as a transfer course, in which case, the
Transfer of Graduate Credits policies and pro-
cedures described in the catalog will be fol-
lowed.
Honor Code
The Honor Code, published in the undergrad-
uate section of this catalog, applies to graduate
students as well as undergraduate students. All
students, graduate and undergraduate, must
agree to abide by the rules of the code.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Application Fee
An application fee of $10.00 is paid by each
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
as those for the undergraduate programs. Ir
formation on matriculation and other fees is cor
tained in the "Financial Information" section c
this catalog.
Veterans Benefits
Information of interest to veterans can be ot
tained by writing or calling the Office of Veteran
Affairs at Armstrong State College.
Once accepted into the graduate program,
veteran should contact the Veterans' Office fc
processing instructions. Since processing tim
varies, a first quarter student should expect
four to six week delay in receiving the first benef
check. First quarter student veterans shOul
consider this delay when making financial a
rangements to attend school.
For purposes of G.I. Bill benefits, ten quart*
hours are considered to be a full load. A loa
of five graduate quarter hours entitles the gra(
uate student to half-time benefits.

part-time basis. No credits with grades below
"C" may count toward a degree. At least fifty
percent of the courses for a degree must be at
the 700 level or above.
Students should note that the sixty-hour re-
quirement is a minimum requirement. Degree
students with academic weaknesses should
recognize that they may have to complete more
:han sixty hours to fulfill all curriculum require-
ments and comply with all academic regula-
ions.
Degree Candidacy
Upon successful completion of twenty-five
quarter hours of graduate work taken in resi-
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.
Approval of the application will be based upon
/erification that the student:
1. has been admitted to full graduate status
(i.e., Regular Admission).
2. has maintained a minimum of a "B" aver-
age in all work attempted.
3. has met any other requirements stipulated
for his degree program.
Application for the Degree
At the time specified on the academic cal-
endar, the student must file an application for
he master's degree with the appropriate major
lepartment. Note that the application for the de-
cree must be preceded by the application for
andidacy by at least one quarter. Application
; orms are available in the appropriate Dean's or
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
74
ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE
of graduate work in residence. Essential ele-
ments of the second master's degree plan are:
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
teen hours will have no age limit, b
the remaining hours must be no moi
than twelve years old when requin
ments for the second master's di
gree are completed.
A curriculum plan for a second d<
gree that is consistent with existir
catalog plans must be prepared t
a department head or by a gradua
advisor with his or her departme
head's endorsement. A copy of th
plan will be sent to the Office of tr
Dean of the School of Education ar
will be given to the student. For th
purpose, current advisement form
with appropriate modifications m<
be used. The plan must show the C
(or more) hours to be taken in res
dence and the previous gradua
hours that are to apply to the secor
degree.

The major in biology consists of BIO 101 or
111, BIO 102 or 112, BOT 203 and ZOO 204,
and at least 40 quarter hours credit in biology
courses (BIO, BOT, ENT, ZOO) numbered 300
or above. The majority of the courses in the ma-
jor numbered 300 or above must be taken in the
Biology Department at Armstrong State College.
Each student acquiring a major in biology
must include in his program the following
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.

cation.
Placement Examinations
Transfer and new students in music must take
placement examinations as appropriate in ap-
plied music, music theory, and music history.
Acceptance of transfer credit towards gradua-
tion requirements in each area is contingent
upon the results of the examination.
Transfer students in art will be required to take
a placement examination in art history. Addi-
tionally, coursework at other institutions in studio
art may not be counted towards graduation until
a portfolio of artwork is submitted demonstrating

Additional Requirements for Music Majors
There are a variety of departmental policies
and regulations which affect music majors. In-
cluded are requirements for recital attendance,
ensemble participation, piano proficiency, re-
cital participation, applied music levels, and the
Rising Junior Applied Music Examination. A
copy of A Handbook of Policies and Regulations
for Music Majors will be given to each music
student.
Please see the "Fees" section of this catalog
for information on applied music fees.
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.

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-
'ents and service to the School, the College and
e community.
It is within the foregoing context that the De-
artment of Government offers criminal justice
;Pd political science minors through the Bruns-
ick Center, requires the G.R.E. (or L.S.A.T.) as
h exit examination for its majors and offers the
: flowing on-campus undergraduate programs,
oncentrations and courses.

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.
Minors, in addition to grades of "C" or bettei
in each course, require:

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.
Honors in History
Honors in History will be awarded to those
History majors with a 3.5 GPA in all History
courses who submit an acceptable honors re-
search paper to the department. The paper may,
but does not have to be prepared in conjunction
with a course that the student has taken. The
paper should be the student's own work, base
on research in primary sources, and be corr
plete with end notes, bibliography and other cri
ical apparatus. It should be typewritten an
follow Turabian's guide. The paper must be sut
mitted during the last quarter the student is i
attendance before graduation and must be sut
mitted by mid-term of that quarter. The pape
will be judged by a departmental jury of foi
faculty members who will by a majority vote -de
termine if honors should be awarded. Th
awarding of honors will be noted on the sti
dent's transcript.

ARMSTRONG STATE COLLEGE
A minor in History has great practical value.
Its notation on the transcript indicates to an em-
ployer that the applicant has some solid liberal
arts background with its accompanying insight
into the development and functioning of modern
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
the major one chooses, such a minor will
strengthen the student's academic record.
Students who hope to work in history-related
fields upon graduation should consider adding
a minor in Preservation Studies, or in Historical
Archaeology. Through has program unique op-
portunities are provided for qualified students to
gain practical experience while making a real-
istic assessment of the possibilities offered by
their field of interest. Cooperative arrangements
with Historic Savannah Foundation, Georgia
Historical Society, Savannah Landmark Project,
Oatland Island Center, and with a number of
museums and historical sites, such as Telfair
Academy, Ft. Pulaski, Juliette Low Center,
Wormsloe Plantation, and Ft. King George, per-
mit placement of students in positions relating
to:
(a) archival and manuscript curation, (b) his-
toric site administration and interpretation, (c)
museum studies, (d) historic preservation, and
(e) historical archaeology.
Additional minor concentrations are offered
jointly with the Department of Government in In-
ternational Studies and Russian Studies.

Graduate Program and
Courses
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.'!

long commitment to learning and services;
stimulate creativity, flexibility, and inde-
pendence of thought and judgement within
acceptable professional and humanistic
constraints; and foster appreciation for
scholarship and critical reasoning;
To develop the leadership abilities of students
so they may function effectively as leaders

munities;

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.

Army personnel The department provides a
curriculum available to Armstrong State and Sa-
vannah State students that qualifies the college
graduate for a commission as an officer in the '
United States Army, United States Army Re-
serve, or the United States National Guard.
Qualifying for a commission adds an extra di-
mension to the student's employment capability
in that, upon graduation from the college, the
student has either military or civilian employment
options.
The course of study offered in military science
is designed not only to prepare both the student

of society. Male and female students are eligible
for enrollment. Each student is provided with a
working knowledge of the organization and
functioning of the Department of Defense and
the role of the U.S. Army in national security and
world affairs.
The course of study pursued by students dur-
ing their freshman and sophomore years is the
basic military science course and/or related skill
activities. The course of study normally pursued
by students during their junior and senior years
is the advanced military science course.
For selection and retention in the advanced
course, a student must be physically qualified,
should have maintained above average military
and academic standing, and must demonstrate
a potential for further leadership development.
Graduates of the advanced course are com-
missioned second lieutenants in the United
States Army Reserve in the branch of service
most appropriate to their interests and aca-
demic achievements, consistent with the needs
of the Army. Regardless of the Branch selected,
all officers will receive valuable experience in
management, logistics and administration.
Graduates may be granted a delay in reporting
for duty for graduate study, if requested. A small
number of outstanding students are designated
Distinguished Military Graduates and are of-
fered commissions in the Regular Army each
year.
