Augustana University

Augustana University promises that students will find an environment that is intellectually challenging. This is also a place where academic rigor is accompanied by generous levels of support from faculty and staff who are committed to student success.

Augustana promises to integrate faith in the learning environment. This is a place where it is okay to talk about God and ask questions about faith, and where students will come to their own understanding of their faith and the values in which they believe.

Augustana promises to engage in community. This is a place where people seek to get to know one another and where relationships are built that are valid and personal.

When Augustana students, in turn, promise to challenge themselves intellectually, integrate faith discussions and engage in our community, the result is a covenant relationship that creates an educational experience of enduring value.

That's Augustana.

With your support, Augustana will continue to empower our students, and through an unwavering commitment to the liberal arts, enable them to discern their callings, to be generous servant leaders and to succeed throughout their careers and in life.

Mission Statement
