Winning runs deep at Augustana, and the Viking spirit goes beyond our NCAA Division III teams.
Student-athletes are fueled by coaches, 40+ faculty mentors for athletic teams, and a commitment to balancing excellence in study and sport.
Augustana ranks #1 in Illinois and #7 in DIII for number of Academic All-Americans. More than 40 athletes have earned the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
Job and grad school outcomes for Viking athletes consistently match or exceed outcomes for their Augustana class as a whole. Why? Because here you are supported by a community that knows the mind and body work together, and invests in the deep and lasting success of student-athletes.
From crew on the Mississippi River to cross-country training in the river valley foothills, you will be challenged and inspired to win at everything.
A member of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW), the Vikings have won more than 200 CCIW team championships and four NCAA Division III team championships, and have qualified more than 250 teams for national competition.
More that 700 Vikings compete in 28 NCAA-sanctioned teams, plus esports. More than half of all Augustana students compete at the varsity, intramural or club level.
Since 2000, more than 25 varsity teams have traveled abroad for adventure and competition, gaining new skills and perspectives in places from Austria to Greece.
