Message From the President Nine hundred plus students are on an extraordinary mission in New Ulm, Minnesota. They are students at Martin Luther College and studying to be either pastors, staff ministers, elementary teachers, early childhood teachers, or secondary teachers and take their place as the next generation of heralds of the Gospel in and for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.

The mission is extraordinary because God chooses human beings to proclaim the Gospel. The mission is extraordinary because the Gospel is the only means we know the Lord provides for mankind to spend eternity with him. The mission is extraordinary because the Gospel is the story of Jesus Christ and his mission to save us. The mission is extraordinary because there is no greater news to tell and no greater privilege than to tell it. President Theodore Olsen We wish those 900 plus students the Lord's richest blessings on their extraordinary mission of preparing for the ministry. We bid all those who may read this catalog to prayerfully consider joining them thus swelling the ranks to become an army moving forward in and for Christ.

Martin Luther College: an exciting place to be a place at which you will be challenged a place to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ a place from which you can move forward to proclaim Christ a place for you!

The Mission of Martin Luther College Martin Luther College exists to serve the ministerial needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) • by preparing men for pastoral training at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and • by preparing men and women for service as teachers and staff ministers in the Synod's churches and schools so that the WELS may be served by candidates both qualified and competent to proclaim the Word of God faithfully and in accord with the Lutheran Confessions in the Book of Concord. Objectives To fulfill this mission, Martin Luther College carries out all instruction and programs of student life according to the gospel as revealed in the inspired Word of God. Through its programs the college desires • to strengthen the student in a consecrated spirit of love for God and his Word; • to educate the whole person for faithful, capable, intelligent citizenship in today's world; • to assist the student in acquiring the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed for service in the church and for lifelong learning; and • to encourage the student in developing and demonstrating a heart for service in the church, community, and world. Function Consistent with its mission and objectives, Martin Luther College • encourages, recruits, and admits men and women qualified to undertake appropriate programs of study at Martin Luther College; • offers courses of study which qualify men for entrance into Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, where they will continue their preparation for the pastoral ministry of the WELS; • offers courses of study for the preparation of qualified educators for the teaching ministry in the preschools and elementary and secondary schools of the WELS; • offers courses of study for the preparation of qualified staff ministers for the congregations of the WELS; • awards appropriate degrees, certificates, and diplomas to those who successfully complete the prescribed courses of study; • serves students and synodical constituency with educational leadership in the instruction of MLC students, through the professional development of MLC faculty, and with programs in continuing education for teachers and staff ministers.

Student

Life

A Christian Community God created us to live together with him and with each other. Inthis world where sin separates and divides, we thank God for gathering us together as his people in Christ. God enables us to live together with each other in a Christian community and enjoy the blessings of worshiping, working, laughing, and even crying together. It is God who makes it possible for us as a campus family to encourage and admonish, forgive and befriend, help and assist. Common to all Christian students is the struggle between the new man of faith and the old sinful nature. The new man wants to love God and people perfectly. The old Adam hates what is good and is completely selfish. God's Law uncovers and exposes sinful selfishness and the Gospel of Jesus Christ covers and heals and comforts with the message of forgiveness won by Christ. Moreover, God's graciousforgiveness provides the power for godly living, striving and maturing. When close to 1,000 people share close quarters on this campus, opportunity abounds for selfishness to hurt and wound. But God the Holy Spirit uses his Word on our campus to turn us away from sin, turn us back to Christ in repentance and faith, and tum our hearts and hands toward others in love.

Worship Martin Luther College plans its day around the worship of our Lord. Morning and evening chapel services provide our campus family with every opportunity to gather together around the Word, to sing, to pray and to praise God. Students are also encouragedand expected to attend worship services at one of the area WELS congregations.

Class Attendance Martin Luther College expects students to attend their classes. The public ministry calls for faithfulness and regular class attendance is one training ground for that important requirement. Illness and emergency, of course, may necessitate absence from class. The academic calendar specifies when classes are in session. Students and their parents and families are urged to respect the academic calendar, particularly when making travel arrangements and vacation plans. Families - please schedule any travel plans around class schedules. Don't take students out of class!

Marriage Students notify the Vice-President for Student Life when they are making plans for a marriage that will take place before graduation from Martin Luther College or prior to enrollment at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, or that may impact future assignment. The Campus Pastor then counsels with these students.

Housing Unmarried students live with a roommate in one of five residence halls operated by the college. Married students arrange their own housing. Single students who are four or more years out of high school may request an exemption from dormitory living, but the Vice-President for Student Life will make decisions regarding such requests. In general, college policy is that students live in the dormitory. The college provides a bed, mattress, desk, chair, dresser, and wardrobe for each dormitory resident. Rooms are equipped with a phone, cable TV and campus computer network connections as well. Students provide towels, bed linens and blankets, phone, and study lamps. Appliances and extra furniture may be brought into the dormitories with the approval of the dormitory supervisor. Some items require a fee or deposit. Before bringing items to campus, please contact the Vice President for Student Life.

Meals Dormitory residents are served meals in the cafeteria on the lower level of the Luther Student Center. Off-campus students may purchase meals in the cafeteria.

Vacations Dormitories and the cafeteria open the weekend before the first class in fall and close on graduation day in spring. Facilities are closed during the longer Christmas and spring breaks and the shorter Thanksgiving and Easter recesses. Students are encouraged to travel home during these two holiday recesses. Those who live farther from home are encouraged to spend the break at the home of a friend. Students and parents are often concerned about winter travel back to Martin Luther College after major vacation breaks. When winter weather causes travel concerns, students and parents are asked to check the MLC Internet Web site [www.mlcwels.edu] for information concerning school closing, or phone the college information desk at 507-354-8221.

Financial Services

â„˘

Martin Luther College operates an automatic teller machine on campus. The A permits withdrawals, but no deposits. The school's receptionist cashes personal checks (up to $20 per day). Local banks cash personal checks for students who present proper identification.

Health Services New students submit a physician's health evaluation and a profile of medical history on forms provided them by the college. Proof of immunization (Diphtheria/Tetanus within the past 10 years, MMR, and Polio) is a legal requirement for campus residency.

An on-staff, registered nurse meets the routine health needs of students. She holds regular hours on-campus each school day. New Ulm has a regional hospital and competent physicians in most fields. A student is responsible for the costs of offcampus care, which means carrying major medical insurance or being prepared to meet emergency medical costs should they occur. Martin Luther College carries accidental injury insurance to supplement a student's own primary coverage. Intercollegiate athletes at Martin Luther College fall under the protection of NCAA coverage for catastrophic injury. Intercollegiate athletes must carry their own major medical insurance and must update their health records with a physical exam prior to their junior year.

campus Living Martin Luther College publishes a handbook that contains campus regulations and guidelines. Christian principles and courtesy form the necessary framework for dayto-day living on campus. By enrolling, each student declares his willingness to abide by both the letter and the spirit of these common-sense regulations. The college administration and elected student representatives work together to keep guidelines up-to-date and relevant. Fines are levied and other penalties imposed when regulations are broken. In all cases the goal is to promote peace, harmony, and loving concern for others. The Holy Spirit will work through the Word to make each believer more like Christ. When growth in Christian life is not apparent, or when behavior calls into question a person's fitness or readiness for public ministry, a student may be asked to leave school. Campus regulations reflect the concerns of our civil government. The Martin Luther College Board of Control has declared our campus to be drug and alcohol-free. Martin Luther College has also established procedures to deal with sexual harassment. Racial prejudice is a form of lovelessness that the college family works with God's Word to eliminate.

Student Government Each class selects its own officers and elects delegates to the Student Senate. Each of the five residence halls has a dormitory council elected by its own residents. The Student Senate is the student body's voice in matters affecting student life at MLC. Class officers attend to the specific concerns of each class. Dormitory councils address concerns of residential living.

Academic Counseling Each student is assigned a faculty member as an academic advisor. The advisor charts the path to graduation by tracking academic progress, and helping the student choose appropriate courses. The advisor may also offer personal counseling or direct the student to someone who can also help with non-academic concerns.

Non-Academic

Counseling

Students who serve as resident assistants provide peer counseling. There is one resident assistant on each floor or wing of a dormitory. Each dormitory has an adult resident supervisor to whom a student may also turn. The Vice-President for Student Life handles the weightier concerns. The Martin Luther College Campus Pastor offers confidential spiritual counseling. A regional office of the Wisconsin Lutheran Child and Family Service supplements the work of the Vice-President for Student Life and the Campus Pastor at their recommendation and referral.

Motor Vehicles A student may bring a motor vehicle to campus under the following conditions: • the vehicle must carry liability insurance; • it needs to be safe; • it must be kept in operating condition throughout the year; • it must be registered with the Student Life office; • it must be parked on campus at a fee ranging from $45 to $70 per year. Parking on streets adjacent to campus is prohibited as a courtesy to our residential neighbors. Students who bring a vehicle agree to abide by motor vehicle regulations set by the college and the government. Parking space on campus is limited. In the future it may not be possible to accommodate all those wishing to bring vehicles to campus. Students must register for parking prior to bringing their vehicles to campus.

Orientation And Registration Current students register for classes prior to the end of each school year. New students and incoming freshmen will be pre-registered before the beginning of the school year. The college welcomes new students and their parents to a few days of orientation at the beginning of the first semester. Matters such as room and roommate assignment, car registration, parking, financial aid, and the initial payment of fees are handled by mail prior to arrival on campus. Itis important that students supply the college with a correct summer address.

Off-campus Life The community of New Ulm offers part-time jobs to as many students as need them. Employment opportunities are posted regularly in the Luther Student Center in cooperation with Minnesota Job Service. Job opportunities are also listed on the MLC Campus Intranet. Students may shop for personal needs in New Ulm, nearby Mankato, or the Twin Cities. All three areas sponsor cultural and recreational activities.

Handicapped Accessibility Although most campus buildings were built prior to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American Disabilities Act of 1990, attempts are made to assist students and other personnel who have disabilities. There are ground-level entrances to the Wittenberg Collegiate Center, the Library building, and the Gymnasium. The Library, WCC, Old Main and Augustana and Summit dormitories are served by elevators. Every attempt is made to eliminate any disadvantages and create a sensitive learning environment for all students with disabilities.

Athletics Martin Luther College offers a comprehensive intercollegiate athletic program for men and women. The college is associated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Division III),the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAlA Division 11), and the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference. Cross country, soccer, basketball, tennis, and track and field are offered to both men and women. In addition, women may compete in volleyball and softball, while men can compete in football, golf, and baseball. Intramural competition is offered for both men and women in tennis, indoor soccer, basketball, volleyball, bow ling, badminton, 3-on-3 basketball, softball, and flag football. All students not participating in intercollegiate sports during the respective sport season are eligible to be a part of the intramural program. The program is operated through a student board under the guidance of the Athletic Director. The athletic program is under control of the faculty athletic committee with recommendations provided by a student athletic board. The Athletic Director supervises the activities and schedules all intercollegiate athletics and intramural events. The Athletic Director also supervises the dance team and cheerleading squads. Athletes at Martin Luther College have a great college experience athletically, academically, and socially. Christian sportsmanship is just as important as participation and winning is never placed at odds with learning. Gender equity in sports is observed.

Focus on Ministry Focus on Ministry Weekends are designed to give you a glimpse of what being a pastor, teacher, or staff minister is all about. You will also see what it is like to study for such work. We're sure that this weekend will help you in your decision of whether to try studying for the public ministry of the gospel. Maybe you'll be surprised at what you hear. You'll be able to experience campus life firsthand during your stay from Thursday night to Saturday morning. In the dorms and student center you will meet students who, just a few years ago, were facing the same questions and choices you are today. You'll also meet professors, pastors, teachers, and staff ministers who want to help you in considering studying for public ministry.

Family Open House Family Open House is designed to introduce you and your parents to MLC and to give you a brief glimpse of what being a pastor, teacher, or staff minister would be like. You'll have the opportunity to tour the MLC campus, find out about programs of study, cost and financial aid, student life, and intercollegiate and extracurricular opportunities. At the end of the day, you can take in a special activity: a football game, the Christmas concert, a basketball game, or the Children's Theater production.

Counselors and Financial Services personnel (which includes Financial Aid) offer help to students who seek assistance. Martin Luther College sends monthly financial statements to students. For a $20 fee a student may elect to have a duplicate copy of the financial statement sent to parents or guardians.

Financial Aid

Financing the Training for Ministry A decision to enroll at Martin Luther College involves not only a commitment of time and money but also a willingness to serve one's Lord in an area of Christian ministry. To help students reach that goal of Christian ministry, Martin Luther College maintains a comprehensive financial aid program.

A Family Responsibility A basic assumption in financial aid is that paying for a college education is primarily the responsibility of the student and his or her family. However, no one should be denied the opportunity for Christian ministry because of a lack of financial resources.

Synod Subsidy To keep costs to students as low as possible, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod provides a generous subsidy to operating costs. Thus total costs are much less than at other private colleges and comparable to state-supported institutions. Though it is not listed on a statement or on a financial aid award letter, each student in effect receives financial aid of more than $6,000.

Based On Need Most financial aid may be described as need-based, meaning that a student's family financial resources are considered. This requires a need analysis (see under Application below). Allowances are made for family size, for other family members in college, and for special expenses and circumstances. The need analysis may not be a perfect measure of a family's ability to pay, but it does serve to compare students' resources and helps to distribute financial aid equitably. Need as it relates to financial aid does not necessarily mean needy. Many students qualify for some form of need-based aid. Itis important to apply. In the 1999-2000 academic year, 73% of the students at Martin Luther College received aid which depended on the results of the need analysis. Approximately 90% of the students received some form of financial aid. Martin Luther College also offers special scholarships based on academic achievement or other academic criteria which are awarded to both entering high school graduates and continuing students.

Sources and Types of Financial Aid Martin Luther College uses its own funds and also makes use of governrnent programs to supply monetary grants to students. Student and parent loans as well as employment are also available.

Withdrawals

from Courses

1 Within the first two weeks of the semester and with the approval of the advisor, the instructor, and the registrar, a student may drop and/ or add a course. 2 Under special circumstances a student may drop a course with the approval of the advisor, the registrar, and the instructor after the first two weeks of the semester and up to midterm. For music keyboard or voice, the music division chair must also approve the withdrawal. For such courses the student's record will show either WP (withdrawal passing) or WF (withdrawal failing). Neither the WP nor the WF will be counted in computing the grade point average. 3 An unauthorized withdrawal from a course will be recorded as an F. Such an F will be counted in the grade point average.

Withdrawals

from the College

1. The student who finds it necessary to withdraw from the college must first report to the Vice President for Student Life for instructions on procedures. 2. A student who withdraws from the college after the first two weeks of the semester will have WP or WF recorded for courses. 3. Students are not permitted to withdraw officially during the last two weeks of any semester. 4. When a student does not follow official procedures in voluntarily withdrawing from the college, a note recording the unauthorized withdrawal will be transcribed on the student's permanent record.

Grade Point Average and Eligibility 1. The following are the minimum semester and cumulative grade point averages necessary to be a student in good standing. Sem. I -1.70 Sem. II -1.80 Sem. III-1.90 Sem. IVff- 2.00 2. A student on probation must become a student in good standing by the end of the next semester of attendance. If the student fails to gain this status, the student will be required to withdraw. Application for readmittance will be considered after a lapse of one semester. (A student required to withdraw at the end of the second semester is ineligible to attend the subsequent summer session.) 3. A student on probation shall discuss with his/her advisor the desirability of reducing the student's course load as an aid in regaining good standing. If the course load is reduced, consultation between the student and advisor and the advice of the registrar will determine the course( s) to be dropped. Inthe interest of the student as well as in the interest of maintaining proper academic standards, a student on probation shall also discuss with his/her advisor the extent of extracurricular activities and outside employment. 4. Credits and grade points earned in residence during a summer session are added to those earned during the last semester of the student's attendance. They may apply toward the removal of an academic probation status. 5. Eligibility for extracurricular activities requires the minimum grade point average (GPA) for a student in good standing. As stated in # 1 above, the required GPA is

the same for both the semester and the cumulative. A list of Martin Luther College activities which require eligibility appears in the Knight's Daybook. 6. An entering special student or freshman who is a high school graduate with no previous full-time college attendance shall be considered eligible provided that the student meets the following two academic requirements: a. The entering student has a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in a high school curriculum which offers at least 13 academic courses in the subject areas prescribed in the entrance requirements. b. The entering student has a minimum composite score of 18 on the ACT

assessment. An entering special student or freshman who does not meet these requirements shall remain ineligible until the student's semester and cumulative grade point averages at Martin Luther College establish eligibility. 7. The academic standing of transfer students will be determined by applying Martin Luther College's standards (see #1 above) to the grade point averages on the applicant's transcript. For example, a transfer student who has been enrolled in a full-time academic program for four or more semesters will need a grade point average, semester and cumulative, of 2.00or better to enter Martin Luther College in good standing. A student who enters on academic probation is ineligible at Martin Luther College until the student's grade point averages meet the level of good standing. 8. A low grade point average may affect financial aid eligibility. See the Financial Aid section of this catalog for more information.

Writing

Policy

Because the college considers the ability to express oneself clearly, correctly, and responsibly in writing to be a necessity for college work and a characteristic of the competent, qualified Christian minister, it strives to teach and maintain good writing practices. Inkeeping with this policy, all students must attain a passing grade in a college composition course. Students are advised that grades on poorly written papers, regardless of the course, may be reduced because of the quality of the writing; in extreme cases, a failing grade may be given for this reason.

Transcripts One free transcript is available to each student. A fee of $2.00 is charged for each subsequent transcript. Transcript requests must be made in writing to the Office of the Registrar and must be signed by the applicant. Make checks payable to Martin Luther College. Address correspondence to: Martin Luther College Office of the Registrar 1995 Luther Court New VIm, MN 56073.

Seminary Certification Program Purpose The purpose of the Seminary Certification Program at Martin Luther College is to provide an avenue for men who are older than traditional college students to prepare for the pastoral ministry of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).

Objectives 1. To accept into the Seminary Certification Program qualified men who express a desire to serve in the WELS pastoral ministry. 2. To provide these men with the needed academic skills to handle the course requirements at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary.

4. Under ordinary circumstances, men who discontinue their studies at Martin Luther College and later return resume the program they were carrying when they discontinued. 5. The registrar's office tailors a Seminary Certification Program to correspond with the academic background of each student accepted into the program. 6. The registrar's office arranges a program for each student, which allows the student to acquire needed academic skills in the fewest possible semesters. 7. Martin Luther College awards a certificate to men who successfully complete their prescribed Seminary Certification Program.

Goal The goal of the Seminary Certification Program of Martin Luther College is to recommend to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary a continuing number of men who have evidenced a sufficient measure of spiritual, academic, and personal attributes to continue preparation for the pastoral ministry of WELS.

Policies 1. All men who express a desire to prepare for the WELS pastoral ministry meet with the Non-traditional Student Committee at Martin Luther College before they are accepted into the program. 2. The Seminary Certification Program is designed for men who have demonstrated spiritual maturity and leadership skills in their local congregations. 3. Men who are older than traditional college students when they first enter Martin Luther College have the option of a degree program or a Seminary Certification Program. 45

Studies in Educational Ministry Basic Curriculum The teacher education programs of Martin Luther College exist to prepare qualified educators for the teaching ministry in the early childhood education centers, elementary, and secondary schools of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Therefore, the college offers a basic curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Martin Luther College is pursuing approval from the Minnesota Board of Teaching for its elementary teacher education program. When the college receives this approval, successful completion of the basic curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree will enable its graduates to meet the Minnesota standards for elementary school licensure. The first two years of this program provide the student with a broad general education. The final two or three years add to general education, but they also include specialization in the field of education and a concentration or major in one academic area. The areas of concentration from which a student may select are English, mathematics, music, science, social studies, and Spanish; students in the elementary and secondary program select a major from English, mathematics, music, physical education, science, social studies, and Spanish. Students in early childhood education select an

area of concentration and take 74 credits in elementary and early childhood education, including student teaching at both levels. Included within the teacher education curriculum are music courses so that, as far as gifts and abilities permit, graduates may serve as organists and choir directors in congregations of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.

Pre-Professional (PPST)

Skills Test

Students must have received passing scores on the PPST by the beginning of the semester in which they register for student teaching in the elementary school. Registration for student teaching occurs each year in the second semester. Passing scores are Reading 173, Mathematics 169, and Writing 172. These scores are also required for Minnesota state licensure.

Early Field Experience (EFE) In order to become familiar with the responsibilities of the teaching ministry before they enter student teaching, all students must meet the requirements of a two-phase early field experience. EFE is a non-credit requirement of the Studies in Educational Ministry curriculum in professional education. Students must complete this program prior to their elementary student teaching. Transfer students will receive guidelines for their EFE requirements upon admission to Martin Luther College.

Phase One: One-Week Experience All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will participate in an early field experience during one week of the second semester. The week for the

experience is indicated on the college calendar. Freshmen receive their experience on campus through a variety of activities. Sophomores and juniors are responsible for making arrangements to receive their experience in a Lutheran school classroom. Sophomores emolled in the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) are encouraged to gain their experience in a WELS high school. Students emolled in the Early Childhood program are encouraged to use early childhood classrooms (preschool-grade two) during either the sophomore or junior early field experience. All other sophomores and all juniors must receive their experience in a Lutheran elementary school.

Phase Two: Individual

Experience

All students complete and record a minimum of fifty hours of experience in activities related to the work of the teaching ministry. Students are to gain experiences in three areas: congregational activities; classroom activities, preschool-grade 12; interaction with children or young adults, ages 0-18. Students must complete and record all fifty hours of experiences before they will be permitted to register for student teaching or for the next year's classes. Students must complete and record all fifty hours of individual EFE experiences by March 10 if they wish to register for student teaching that semester.

Martin Luther College Seal The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod's college for ministry bears the name of the great sixteenth century reformer, Martin Luther, whose ministry is an inspiration for all who aspire to the high calling of the public ministry today. The MLC campus is located in the city of New VIm in the state of Minnesota. 1995 MLC opened on July 1, 1995. MDCCCLXV MLC continues the service rendered to the WELS by Northwestern MDCCCLXXXIV College of Watertown, Wisconsin (1865-1995),and by Dr. Martin Luther College of New VIm, Minnesota (1884-1995).The Roman numerals on the seal are the founding dates of these two schools. Luther's Seal

MLC borrows from the seal of Dr. Luther. He wrote the following things about the items which MLC has appropriated for its seal: Cross: "A black cross within the heart reminds me that faith in Christ crucified saves me." Heart: "Although the cross is black, mortified and intended to cause pain, yet it does not change the color of the heart, does not destroy nature, i.e., does not kill, but keeps alive. The just shall live by faith!" Rose: "The heart is fixed upon the center of a white rose, to show that faith causes joy, consolation, and peace. The rose is white because 'white is the ideal color of all angels and blessed spirits." V-I- V-I- T: "The letters of the word V1VIT[Latin for 'he lives'] are written on the petals of the rose. Because Christ lives, I too shall live."

MOTTO

Below, supporting the seal, are words ofJesus from John 14:6,"1 am the way [Latin: VIA], the truth [Latin: VERITAS], and the life [Latin:VITA].

COLORS

Red, white, and black are the colors of MLC. Black: MLC trains young people to bring the true way of life to a world dying in darkness. White: The way is by grace alone. Truth is by Scripture alone. Life is by faith alone. These are the darkness-dispelling gifts Jesus brings. Red: Red is the color of martyrs, Christ's faithful witnesses. MLC's mission is to send forth ministers of the gospel who proclaim but one way, but one truth, and but one life.
