What sets Augustana apart from the other colleges and universities you are considering?

The difference is professors who pride themselves as teachers: who know your name, value your interests, engage you in conversation, care if you miss class, have lunch, coffee, or tea with you, and advise you on classes. They commit to helping you explore your passions and discover what it is that you are called to do, which leads to fulfilling careers. Our professors want our graduates to create a life with purpose and meaning.

"I wanted a good community where you could take classes but also get to know your professors and be involved in other activities."
