Second class postage paid at Valparaiso, Indiana. 1 The General Catalog of Valparaiso University is designed to describe the programs of the University and to give that information needed to guide students in the successful achievement of their academic goals. Nevertheless, the material is for information only and does not make a contract between the student and the University. Students themselves are ultimately responsible for completion of the requirements for their degrees as well as for the value they receive from University programs. The relationship between the University and its students is not custodial in nature. There is no special relationship with the University created by a student's enrollment. The University does not assume any duty toward any student that is not otherwise required by operation of law or by the terms of this catalog. In years when the General Catalog is not published an Announcement Bulletin gives information on important changes in courses, calendar, staff, program and policies. The University reserves the right to discontinue an academic program if it is deemed no longer central to the University’s mission. Separate catalogs are issued for the School of Law, the Graduate Division and the Summer Session, which should be consulted for details about the related programs. Statement on Equality of Opportunity. Valparaiso University provides equality of opportunity to its applicants for admission, enrolled students, graduates, and employees. The University does not discriminate with respect to hiring, continuation of employment, promotion, and tenure, other employment practices, applications for admission, or career services and placement on the basis of race, color, gender, age, disability, national origin or ancestry, sexual orientation, or (as qualified herein) religion. An institution committed to its Lutheran tradition, the University reserves its right to promote the teaching of the church and to exercise preferences in admissions and employment-related practices in favor of Lutherans. Graduation Rate of Entering Freshmen. The graduation rate for all students entering Valparaiso University as first-time freshmen during the 2001-2002 academic year was 77.3%. This graduation rate represents the percentage of students entering Valparaiso University as first-time (i.e., new) full-time degree- seeking freshmen during the 2001 Summer and Fall semesters who subsequently were awarded baccalaureate degrees by Valparaiso University within six calendar years (i.e., through August 2007). 2 UNIVERSITY CALENDAR FOR 2008-2009 For the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering and Nursing.

Your Committee met with Dr. Clark and conferred with him at iength about the questions which had arisen and particularly xfc»ii£ as to his personal beliefs in certain theologiot.1 doctrines. we' are glad that we can commend hi-a frankness, and. we do not question his scholarly attainments or the intellectual; quality of his teaching. In moot reepecte we do not believe that his "Christian beliefs would differ materially from those...of others either of the faculty or of the trustees. However, he holds certain views, originating with John Calvin or with' imitators of Calvin, whion go, beyond what we could endorse.

  • The Campaign for Our Future
    THE CAMPAIGN FOR OUR FUTURE FOREVER VALPO: The Campaign for Our Future B “ We have been entrusted to steward this extraordinary institution, and we must continue to do so with innovative solutions, with the most talented students and dedicated faculty, with premier programs, with prayerful discernment, with great care and love, so that this University under the Cross — a place where faith and learning thrive — will forever remain a gift to future generations and to the world.” MARK A. HECKLER, PH.D. President, Valparaiso University A FOREVER VALPO: The Campaign for Our Future FOREVER VALPO: The Campaign for Our Future B Each year on the first day of class, Valparaiso University’s newest students gather in the Chapel of the Resurrection for Opening Convocation. It’s an important moment in the relationships the students will form with one another, with the University, and with the faculty — relationships that will last forever. It is also a time for welcoming and celebration, a time for song and friendship, a time for students to learn what they can expect of Valpo and what Valpo expects of them. Speakers engage minds and talk about the work that lies ahead. Music lifts hearts. Students step to the front of the Chapel to sign the Honor Code, signaling on one level dedication to a core Valpo principle, and on another their commitment to learning with integrity. The magnificent building itself is on full display: its breathtaking stained glass, its soaring grandeur. As events draw to a close and students turn to leave, its hidden genius reveals itself in a way that few may notice but that’s full of meaning.
