As an Augustana mom and an Augie grad, it's easy for me to LOVE Augustana because I know about the many opportunities the college offers to all its students! Ask me!

Advice for students searching for the right college

Think about how you want to look back and remember your college experience: do you want a community where you will make friends and have supportive professors? Do you want to get involved in activities on campus and be able to have fun off campus? Do you want to be prepared for what comes after college - job, graduate school, etc.? Do you need help paying for college?

Then, get started!

Visit colleges, ask questions, talk to current students, sit in on a class, go to a practice. You'll know when you've found the right place. It's not just what you'll do after your four years in college that is important, it's who you will become during those 4 years.

What kinds of students tend to flourish at Augustana?

We are a student-ready college. Students can come to us undecided, or with ideas for a triple major; students can know exactly what they want to be involved in, or be ready to explore our 170+ clubs and organizations. Students flourish at Augustana when they are curious learners, care about one another, and are willing to explore and experiment.
