How to Use this Catalog This catalog is your guide to the courses of study, activities and opportunities at Olivet Nazarene College. If you read through the purposes of the college in Chapter One, you will come to understand the reason for our kind of course plans, majors offered, student life policies and regulations, and personal interest to help each student who comes to Olivet to achieve the maximum potential for Christian living. Olivet is supported by the Church of the Nazarene with close ties to the 84 0 congregations in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. At the same time we are ecumenical in spirit, open to serve all who wish to have an “Education with a Christian Purpose.” This catalog will remain in effect for the period for which it is issued. However, the college reserves the right to make whatever changes in curricula or policies that may be necessary. Candidates for graduation are expected to meet the requirements for gradua­ tion of the catalog in force at the time of that graduation. In cases of hardship caused by curricular changes during a student’s successive years of enrollment at Olivet, an appeal may be made to the Learning Activities Committee. Information concerning semester course offerings, time schedules, faculty members and other matters will be published by the college prior to the opening of each semester. A student handbook is published annually by the Dean of Students and As­ sociated Student Government. This gives more detail about campus activities, regulations and personnel policies which are pertinent to the students enrolled that year. Courses and Careers 5 1979 Solar Eclipse was reflected through the 12" telescope at Reed Science Hall. Courses and Careers The courses are grouped in several divisions of study. An alphabetical index of the departments is printed inside the back cover. A chart of majors and minors offered is included in Chapter Two. The intention of the Olivet faculty is to design each major to meet the needs and interests of students. Through the Interdisciplinary or General Studies ma­ jors, a wide variety of courses can be tailored to match an individual’s career goal. Electives from a broad range of subject matter are available, even in the General Education Requirements, which is the foundation of “liberal arts” un­ derstanding. Some career choices, and majors to fit them, have a larger number of specific requirements. Most move from general, foundational studies to more difficult and technical levels of understanding. The usual advice to students is to take care of required courses as early as possible, conserving electives to be used later toward achieving the goals of the student for advanced study and career options. Faculty members are listed with the department in which they teach, along with their educational background. An alphabetical listing of faculty is also given in the Index chapter. The general calendar of the school year is listed in the Index A more detailed calendar of activities is published in the Student Handbook and special bulletins during each semester. 1 Education With A Christian Purpose Leslie Parrott, Ph.D., President of Olivet Nazarene College. 1975 — “Education With A Christian Purpose” can be viewed from two standpoints. The sponsoring denomination, The Church of the Nazarene, has very definite purposes in the establishment and continuing support of colleges. In turn, Olivet has clearly set forth its “Statement of Purposes and Objectives” as an institution of higher learning. Consistent with these purposes the college aspires to promote the develop­ ment of a Christian academic community which involves students, professors, administrators, trustees, and staff employees. All members of this special com­ munity should agree that religion has a place in the total process and that, in fact, it must function to unify the entire curriculum. This community proceeds on the premise that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; that He, as the Great Example, calls each individual to the development and dedication of his talents in sacrificial service to his fellow man. It holds that all truth is God’s truth and, therefore, cannot be segmented into secular and non-secular departments. In order for the college to succeed it has a right to expect from all who seek mem­ bership in the college community a feeling of sympathy and common cause for this basic orientation. “Education With A Christian Purpose” may also be viewed from the stand­ point of the student
