The beauty of an Augustana liberal arts education is that you’re introduced to a world of ideas and options. Explore what sparks you, with professors and career coaches as your guides. You’ll be able to follow your curiosity, and act on what you discover.
Many students who arrive with a planned major change their direction, or expand on it. Others spend their first year exploring fields, and graduate in four years with two or three majors or minors.
No matter what field(s) you choose, you’ll graduate from Augustana prepared to be a well-rounded thinker, ethical citizen, excellent communicator and versatile problem-solver. That’s good for any future success.
