Augustana is a smaller school where it is easy to get to know your teachers and classmates on a personal level.

Augustana College's concentration is first and foremost on education and succeeding in the professional world. However, the sense of community and camaraderie is amazing, especially compared to the first school I attended.

Augustana College offers a very personal education for the Liberal Arts. I chose Augustana over other colleges because the teachers are very personal and are treated as a person and not a number.

It's a great place to live, work, and go to school.

We are a small Liberal Arts college in the middle of a residential community in the largest city in South Dakota.
