Augsburg College

Minneapolis, MN

Experts say that any way you measure it, a college degree is the best investment in one's life. And, an Augsburg College education is more than just a degree - it provides a blueprint for life. Augsburg is a place where you can be yourself while you learn and grow.

As a model of Lutheran education and 21st-century higher learning, Augsburg is a study in diversity, locality, spirituality, and, ultimately, opportunity. While Augsburg has more than 50 undergraduate majors and six master's degree programs, it's what lies beyond the classroom that prepares students for both their careers and lives of service.

·        It's a liberal arts perspective spanning across business and language, to service and artistic expression, and beyond.

·        It's small classes, all taught by professors who also become your advisers and mentors.

·        It's internships, service-learning experiences, and research that augment the academic with the practical.

·        It's dynamic opportunity for study abroad through a nationally recognized Center for Global Education.

·        It's support for students with physical, psychological, or learning disabilities through dedicated programs that encourage independence and success.

·        It's pioneering leadership in multicultural student services through American Indian, Pan-Afrikan, Pan-Asian, and Hispanic/Latino programs. 

Augsburg also is defined by a unique juxtaposition: a small, intimate campus inside a vibrant, metropolitan community. The college capitalizes on this setting by drawing on and contributing to the resources of the city as an extension of campus and classroom.

At the same time, Augsburg students participate in an abundance of cultural and recreational activities.  Theatre, dance, music, the visual arts, sports, outdoor activities, parks, and the Cities' famous lakes are just minutes from the campus. 

More than 50 on-campus clubs and organizations ranging from academic societies and music to campus ministry and athletics also give students opportunity for involvement, entertainment, and personal growth. And, as a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Augsburg maintains a spiritual commitment shaped by Christian values without requiring religious conformity. In fact, students come to Augsburg from virtually every faith and walk of life. Spirituality at Augsburg means more than religion. It also means concern for others, reflected by our students and graduates alike who match their talents, education, eagerness, and service to the needs and greater good of the community.

More than 80 percent of Augsburg students receive financial aid, many up to or exceeding 50 percent of the total cost, to help make an Augsburg education affordable. An experienced and knowledgeable financial services staff are there from the beginning to provide individual counseling so students and their families can make informed choices about how to finance a private college education.
