V Message From the President Pastor Theodore B. Olsen

'"'-' ~

Someone has said that "Change is changing faster than change has ever changed."

When we look at this world in which we live, we would have to agree. Most of the time change is a healthy thing for society in general and us in particular. However, there is one thing that does not change, nor would we want it to change. The Word of the Lord His promises to us.

Martin Luther College, the WELS College of Ministry, exists to prepare the next generation of Gospel heralds. Paul asks, "How can they believe in the one (Jesus) of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" There are over 1000 students at MLC preparing to "preach to them" and thus be God's instruments to bring Christ and salvation to a dying world. Would you like to be one of those heralds?

Martin Luther College is 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 from the pulpit or the classroom. Are you looking for the excitement of working with the most powerful thing in the world - the Word of the Lord? Then, MLC may be the place for you!

A Christian Community God created us to live together with him ",""with each other. In this 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.

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.

Common to all Christians 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, heals, and comforts with the message of forgiveness won by Christ. Moreooer: God'sgraciousforgiveness

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 website [www.mlcwels.edul for information concerning school closing, or phone the college information desk at 507-3548221.

Housing In general, college policy is that students live in the dormitories provided by our synod. Unmarried students live with a roommate in one of five residence halls operated by the college. If enrollment numbers are greater than dormitory capacities, then single students who are four or more years out of high school and have reached the age of 21, may request an exemption from dormitory living, but the Vice-President for Student Life will make decisions regarding such requests. Married students arrange their own housing.

quarters on our 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 turn 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 opportunity to gather together around the Word, to sing, to pray, and to praise God. Students are also expected to attend worship services at one of the area WELS congregations.

The college provides a bed, mattress, desk, chair, dresser, and wardrobe for each dormitory resident.

Rooms are equipped with connections for phone, cable TV and the campus computer network.

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.

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 expected to follow the academic calendar, particularly when making travel arrangements and vacation plans. Travel arrangements should be made after the last exam date of the semester.

Meals Dormitory students are required to participate in the meal plan offered by the college. Our cafeteria offers continuous "7 AM to 7 PM" service. Students with an ID can enter the cafeteria as often as their schedules permit. The cafeteria provides a variety of menu items and a number of specialty bars each day. Off-campus students may also purchase meals in the cafeteria.

Financial Services Martin Luther College operates an automatic teller machine on campus. The ATM permits withdrawals, but no deposits. The school's receptionist cashes personal checks (up to $50 per day). Local banks cash personal checks for students who present proper identification.

or readiness for service in the public ministry, a student may be asked to leave school.

Campus regulations reflect the concerns of our civil government. The Martin Luther College Governing Board 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.

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 (Diphtherial Tetanus within the past 10 years, MMR, and Polio) is a legal requirement for campus residency.

Sbldent 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.

It is Martin Luther College policy that necessary medical and immunization forms be returned to the Admissions Office prior to a student's arrival on campus.

An on-staff registered nurse meets the routine health needs of student. She holds regular hours oncampus each school day. New VIm has a regional hospital and competent physicians in most fields. A student is responsible for the costs of off-campus 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.

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 Vice-President for Student Life and the Campus Pastor counsel with these students.

Academic Counseling Each student is assigned a faculty member as an academic advisor. The advisor helps chart the path to graduation by tracking academic progress and assisting the student to choose appropriate courses.

The advisor may also offer personal counseling or direct the student to someone who can also help with non-academic concerns.

campus Living Martin Luther College publishes a handbook that contains campus regulations and guidelines.

Christian principles and courtesy form the necessary framework for day-to-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 works 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

Personal and Spiritual 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 is available for other concerns. The Martin Luther College Campus Pastor offers confidential spiritual counseling. A regional office of Christian Family Counseling, a ministry 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.

Sources and types of Finandal Aid

FINANCNG THE TRAINING FOR MINISTRY

Martin Luther College uses its own funds and also makes use of government programs to supply monetary grants to students. Student and parent loans, as well as employment, are also available.

A decision to enroll at Martin Luther College involves not only a willingness to serve one's Lord in an area of Christian ministry but also a commitment of time and money. To help students reach that goal of Christian ministry, Martin Luther College maintains a comprehensive financial aid program consisting of grants, loans, scholarships, and work study.

Grant and Scholarship Sources • Martin Luther College trust fund income and reserves • Synod special and budgetary funds for financial aid • Federal Pell Grant • Federal Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grant • Minnesota State Grant Program • Fraternal insurance associations

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, because student and family resources are not equal, MLC's financial aid program exists to help students.

Loan Sources • Federal Perkins Loan • Federal Stafford Loan • Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) • Minnesota Supplementary Educational Loan Fund (SELF) • Martin Luther College special loan funds

Synod Subsidy The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod provides a subsidy to the operating costs of Martin Luther College. This subsidy reduces the cost of education for each student by about 10% and is a way the WELS supports its ministerial education students. Martin Luther College's tuition figure reflects this reduction; it does not appear on the student's financial statement or financial aid letter.

Special Work: Programs In addition to regular on-campus and off-campus jobs • Federal Work Study

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 Deadlines on the following pages). 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 meet costs, but it does serve to compare student and family resources and helps to distribute financial aid equitably.

Other Benefits Martin Luther College is also certified for Veteran Benefits, DVR, and Native American programs for students who qualify.

Need as it relates to financial aid does not necessarily mean needy. Many students qualify for some form of need-based aid, and in the 2003-2004 academic year, 90% of the students at Martin Luther College received some form of financial aid. Unless a student applies for financial aid, no aid can be awarded.

Martin Luther College also offers special scholarships based on academic achievement or other criteria which are awarded to both entering high school graduates and continuing students.

19

'-' ~ Application Deadlines Complete both of the following by April 15, 2004, for August (first semester) enrollment (November 1 for second semester).

Information Additional information about financial aid programs at Martin Luther College can be found in a separate financial aid brochure. Students who apply for admission to Martin Luther College will be sent a Financial Aid Brochure and a Financial Aid Application.

./ Complete and file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is the need analysis document which is used by all colleges. Martin Luther College's ID number for Step 6 is 002361. A FAFSA is available from high school counseling offices, from other college financial aid offices, or from Martin Luther College. Students and parents can complete and submit a FAFSA on the Internet.

MLC's website www.m1c-wels.edu/ Financial Aid contains a link to "FAFSA on the Web." ./ Complete and file a Martin Luther College Financial Aid Application. This form collects needed information, including special family expenses and circumstances, which may be used to make adjustments.

3.

4.

5.

6.

b.

The entering student has a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in a high school curriculum which offers at least 14 academic courses in the subject areas prescribed in the entrance requirements.

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.

Sem.D-l.SO Sem. IVff - 2.00

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 is required to withdraw.

Application for readmittance is 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.)

7.

A student on probation discusses 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 Records Office determines the course(s) to be dropped. In the interest of the student as well as in the interest of maintaining proper academic standards, a student on probation also discusses with his/her advisor the extent of extracurricular activities and outside employment.

8.

The academic standing of transfer students is 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 needs a grade point average, semester and cumulative, of 2.00 or 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.

A low cumulative grade point average may affect financial aid eligibility. See the Financial Aid section of this catalog for more information.

Grading A. AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DF

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.

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 that require eligibility appears in the Knight's Daybook.

An entering special student or freshman who is a high school graduate with no previous fulltime college attendance shall be considered eligible for extracurricular activities provided

STUDIES IN PASTORAL MINISTRY COURSE LISTING FOR STUDIES IN PASTORAL MINISTRY The Studies in Pastoral Ministry curriculum at Martin Luther College prepares men to emoll at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. This course of study stresses foreign languages. Hebrew and Greek, required of all students, are the original languages of Scripture. A student selects a non-biblical language option from a menu of German, Latin, a German/Latin combination, Spanish, or another spoken language. Lutheran theologians did much of their writing in German and Latin, while Spanish is the primary language of a growing segment of the American population. A student may also fulfill the non-biblical language requirement with achievement in another living language. In addition, the curriculum includes a selective liberal arts emphasis, with special attention given to literature and history.

Academic Credits Required for the Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology/Philosophy English (including an area elective) Greek (including an area elective or GRK 3001) Hebrew Non-biblical language option (student chooses one) German Latin Confessional Languages (German and Latin) Spanish Another spoken language Computer/Mathematics Music/Fine Arts Physical Education Religion SCience History (including an area elective) Other Cultures Free Electives (four courses)

7 15 19 14 12 13 19 12 12 5 3 1 21 6 14 3 12

The curriculum includes two Greek tracks. The koine Greek track serves students in a Seminary Certification program as well as traditional students who display modest foreign language skills on their high school record.

The track allows them a higher probability of success in New Testament study. The classical Greek track offers students the fullest preparation for their work in the New Testament. The academic dean assigns entering students to a Greek track on the basis of their high school record and their ACT predictive data.

Students in the koine Greek track have three free electives. Students in the confessional languages option will usually also have fewer free electives. Students may select a maximum of three free electives from one academic area.

Total Credits required for graduation

132/133

A student enrolling in Studies in Pastoral Ministry with the entrance requirements and preferences listed in the admissions section can complete his program of study in four years. Most students can complete a degree program in four years even if they are lacking some of the preferred high school credits.

SEMINARY CERTIFICATION

PROGRAM

For Studies in Pastoral Minisby Purpose The purpose of the Seminary Certification Program at Martin Luther College is to provide an opportunity 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 have expressed a desire to serve in the WELS pastoral ministry.

2. To provide these men with the academic skills needed to meet the course requirements at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary (WLS).

Policies 1. All men who are interested in preparing for the pastoral ministry and who are married or older than 21 should contact the Pastoral Studies Institute at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary (address on page 14 of the MLC Catalog).

2. Men whom the Pastoral Studies Institute recommends to apply for the MLC Seminary Certification program must meet with the Non-traditional Student Committee of Studies in Pastoral Ministry before they are accepted into the program.

3. The Seminary Certification program is designed for men who have demonstrated spiritual maturity and leadership skills in their local congregations.

4. Men older than traditional college students have the option of a degree program or a Seminary Certification program.

5. Under ordinary circumstances, men discontinuing their studies at MLC and later returning resume the program they were carrying when they discontinued.

6. The Records Office tailors a Seminary Certification program to correspond with the academic background of each student.

7. The Records Office arranges a program that allows each student to acquire the needed academic skills in the fewest possible semesters.

8. MLC awards a certificate to men who successfully complete their prescribed program.

Goal The goal of the Seminary Certification program is to recommend to WLS a continuing number of mature men who have demonstrated appropriate spiritual, academic, and personal attributes to continue preparation for the pastoral office.

The following policies apply to all Studies in Educational Ministry students.

1. A 2.5 GPA is required for all majors. The majors are staff ministry, early childhood education, elementary education, and the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) majors. A one-semester probationary period is given if students fall below 2.50. During this semester students may take new courses or may repeat courses in the major to reach a 2.50 average. If students fail to gain this status, they are required to withdraw from the major.

Education Handbook.

Martin Luther College's teacher education programs are designed to prepare students for the teaching ministry. Students demonstrate a firm grounding in God's Word, demonstrate competency in planning, teaching, and evaluating lessons, and demonstrate the ability to create effective learning environments.

Students also demonstrate a service attitude toward their students, their schools, and their congregations. Included within the education curriculum are music courses so that, as far as abilities permit, graduates may serve as organists and choir directors in congregations of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Programs available are elementary education, secondary education, and early childhood education.

A minimum grade point average of 2.00 for the three Bible courses (REL 1001, REL 1002, and REL 2001) and a minimum grade point average of 2.00 for the three doctrine courses (REL 3001, REL 3002, and REL 4001) are required for graduation.

Teacher Education Programs

Elementary Education Major

To prepare qualified educators, the college offers a curriculum that leads to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree. The elementary teacher education program is approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Successful completion of the curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree enables graduates to meet the Minnesota standards for elementary school licensure.

The education curriculum includes a thorough general education, a more in-depth study of a curricular area, and professional education courses.

Professional education includes courses that prepare graduates for teaching and gives students six clinical experiences plus student teaching in which they apply standards of effective teaching.

The elementary education curriculum prepares graduates for teaching in K-8 classrooms. Graduates are eligible for the following Minnesota licensure areas.

• Elementary Education (K-6) Licensure with Communication Arts & Literature Specialty (Grades 5-8) • Elementary Education (K-6) Licensure with Mathematics Specialty (Grades 5-8) • Elementary Education (K-6) Licensure with Science Specialty (Grades 5-8) • Elementary Education (K-6) Licensure with Social Studies Specialty (Grades 5-8) • Elementary Education (K-6) Licensure with World Language: Spanish Specialty (5-8)

Students must pass the Praxis I (Pre-Professional Skills Test) before they register for student teaching.

Students also are required to pass the Praxis II tests

Students also have the option of adding one of the following non-licensure Emphasis areas-Coaching, German, Music, Physical Education, Spanish.

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 DIm in the state of Minnesota.

1995 MLC opened on July I, 1995.

MDCCCLXVjMDCCCLXXXIV MLC continues the service rendered to the WELSby Northwestern College of Watertown, Wisconsin (1865-1995),and

by Dr. Martin Luther College of New Ulm, 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."

II

HI!iI1"f. " 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-I:"The letters of the word VIVIT [Latin for 'he lives'] are written on the petals of the rose. Because Christ lives, I too shall live."

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

COLORS Red, white, and black are the colors of MLC. Blick. MLC trains young people to bring the true way of life to a world dying in darkness.

WIllie. 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.
