SIMPSON UNIVERSITY 2010-2011 1 From the PrOVOST Dr. Stanley A. Clark

his is probably the most important document we produce as a university, because it describes in detail our educational programs and policies. It is a handy reference tool, carefully organized to assist you toward a successful experience as a Simpson TUniversity student.

But what’s the point of it all?

In Mark 12:30 Jesus said the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” It is not too hard to understand most of this passage. To love God with our whole heart means to have no idols, no wavering, no affairs with other gods; in other words, total captivation to Him. To love God with our soul means with our entire being, our whole person. And to love God with our strength means to serve without growing weary or giving up, holding nothing back. But what does it mean to love God with our mind? What is “in- tellectual love” for God? Do we love God by thinking about Him? No; rather, we love God by thinking. To think is a godly thing to do.

The human mind is a gift from the Creator. Like every other such gift it is to be fully developed and used in service. The mind is a central aspect of our identity in Christ and part of what makes us the integrated beings we were designed to be. It is a wonderful and powerful tool. We use it to navigate through daily life, to form opinions, draw conclusions and solve problems. And as we use our minds, a remarkable thing happens: our character is shaped. Learning makes us certain kinds of persons. What we read, and talk about, and think about, forms who we are. In the company of great truths and rigorous intellectual pursuit, we flourish.

One of the primary reasons universities exist is to develop the mind in this way. But we will never truly understand the importance and value of higher education until we grasp two principles of faith. First, academic study is a spiritual disci- pline. It strengthens the mind, just like other disciplines (fasting and prayer, for example) strengthen other aspects of our being. It helps shape us into the image of Christ. Scholarship is a high and joyous purpose, because the pursuit of truth is a sacred journey, and it deserves the very best we can give it. Second, learning is a form of worship. God is both the source of truth and the path into truth. In the simple act of studying the world, then, we ascribe worth to the Creator, which is the very definition of the word ‘worship.’

God is worthy of everything you have. Worship him by learning; love Him with your whole mind. Everything else is just details.

Serving Him with you,

Dr. Stanley A. Clark Provost

Students will be placed on probation status by Simpson Uni- versity if the cumulative GPA and/or completion rate for the cumulative credits attempted falls below the standards out- lined above. Students on probation are permitted to receive federal, state and institutional financial aid for the initial semester the student is on such probation. Students failing to earn their way off probation are ineligible for any student financial aid for a successive semester of probation.

Appeals

Students who fail to meet the above requirements, but wish special consideration in evaluation of satisfactory academic progress, may submit a completed appeal form to Student Financial Services.

REESTABLISHING ACADEMIC PROGRESS

A student is considered no longer on probation and eligible for financial aid for the next semester of enrollment:

• Once the cumulative GPA and the percent of cumulative credits completed are raised to meet the minimum standards. This can be achieved if the student successfully completes coursework at Simpson University (to raise the GPA or percentage completed) or transfers credits to Simpson University that apply to the student’s degree program (to raise the percentage completed).

• If a grade change for a previous course raises the cumula- tive GPA and/or percent of cumulative credits completed to the minimum standards.

• A student cannot reestablish financial aid eligibility simply by not taking any classes for a semester. This will not change the student’s GPA or credit completion rate. FINANCIAL INFORMATION FINANCIAL TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE TRADITIONAL

ACADEMIC OVERVIEW Simpson University

hree broad areas make up the overall academic program of Simpson University: the traditional undergraduate program, the adult A ACADEMICS Tdegree-completion program (ASPIRE) and graduate programs.

Each program has its own governing council. The traditional undergraduate program and School of Education are overseen by the Academic Council. The Adult Studies Council directs the ASPIRE program. The MACP Academic Council oversees the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology (MACP) program. The Tozer Seminary Academic Council guides the program of A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary. All requests for exceptions, waivers, or appeals must be directed in writing to the appropriate council.

TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM

impson University integrates biblical faith, thorough scholarship and Christ-honoring service. Our aim is to produce students who develop holistically, think critically, lead effectively, and serve globally. Simpson is a Christian university offeringS biblical, liberal arts and professional studies. Biblical and liberal arts studies build the mind, mold character, and develop basic skills, while professional studies provide preparation for particular vocations. At Simpson, students may choose from a range of four-year programs leading to the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree. Two-year programs, leading to the associate of arts degree, and a one-year Certificate in Bible and Theology are also available.

Each four-year degree program builds upon foundational studies. The Foundational Studies curriculum consists of courses in social sciences, history, humanities, natural science, mathematics, English, communications, and biblical studies. Its purpose is to provide wide-ranging liberal arts knowledge from a Christian perspective. Students will develop increased skills in com- munication, reasoning, constructive thinking, and multicultural understanding, and will be exposed to a biblical, theocentric worldview. The Foundational Studies curriculum is generally completed in the first two years and serves as a basis for concen- trated study in a select field during the final two years of college.aken T together, the foundational and major studies develop skills suitable for lifelong learning and are useful in any career.

The academic structure for the traditional undergraduate program consists of the School of Education and three major divi- sions: Humanities and Fine Arts; Science and Business; and Theology and Ministry. Each division oversees a number of majors and minors. Simpson University is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Information about undergraduate programs of study begin on p. 35 of this catalog, with undergraduate course descriptions starting on p. 62.

ADULT DEGREE-COMPLETION (ASPIRE) PROGRAM

hrough its School of Continuing Studies, Simpson University provides evening and weekend programs where adults can complete a four-year undergraduate degree. More than 2,500 students have graduated from these programs in the last 17 years.T The ASPIRE section of the catalog starts on p. 91.
