What’s the best way to a bright future? Attend a brilliant college. You’re looking at one right now.

Part of what makes Augustana brilliant is its academics.

First, it’s a liberal arts education, the best preparation for a successful life.

Why? A liberal arts education will make you better at communicating and solving problems. You’ll be more intellectually curious and versatile—better at thinking fast and switching gears. 

Employers want liberal arts graduates for these skills, and for the ability to connect ideas from different fields. These also happen to be qualities found in happy people — and that’s why a liberal arts education is both practical and ideal.

That’s brilliant.

Second, you’ll be prepared to stand out. Your education, your small classes, your close connections with professors, and career advising through CORE will make sure of it. 

The other part of Augustana’s brilliance is its campus. 

No matter what season, this college is beautiful, inside and out. You will be inspired when you first set foot on campus, and throughout all four years at Augustana.
