ACADEMICS - Core Curriculum

The blueprint for an Augsburg Education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum, designed to prepare you to be an effective, informed, and ethical citizen in the 21st century.

Grounded in a strong liberal arts foundation, the curriculum promotes the development of intellectual and professional skills. But it goes farther and deeper, engaging you in an inquiry about your faith and calling in life, and supporting you in meaningful experiences outside of the classroom.

The Augsburg Core Curriculum includes the following components:

The Augsburg First Year helps first-year weekday students make the transition to college and their new community.

Augsburg Seminar
Search for Meaning
Engaging Minneapolis

The Augsburg Experience links your academic study to involvement in the broader community, either locally or globally. This experience can include study abroad, an internship, research with a professor, community service-learning, or an off-campus immersion project.

Liberal Arts Foundations allow you to learn and appreciate different disciplines by taking two courses from different departments in each of the four academic domains: natural science, social science, fine arts, and humanities.

Senior Keystone, completed your senior year, is a culmination of your Augsburg academic experience. It connects the liberal arts foundation with professional skills and the in-depth study in your major, helping you begin the transition to your after-college life.
