Academic Skills Center

What We Do

Academic Advising (AA) and the Academic Skills Office (ASO) share the responsibility of creating a supportive and effective educational community for students, faculty and staff. These programs are grounded in all four principles of Augsburg's Mission: the liberal arts, faith and reason, civic engagement and intentional diversity. We believe that in addition to our connections with these principles, we also play an important role in "nurturing future leaders (students, faculty, staff) by supporting all persons in the pursuit of high quality.

Who We Are:

Academic Skills Coaches are available to assist students with many types of academic challenges including: note taking, textbook reading and comprehension, memorization strategies, time management, test taking, concentration improvement and stress reduction.

Augsburg College also offers a one semester course, Introduction to the Liberal Arts (GST 140), which develops a basic knowledge of note taking, textbook reading, memorization, test taking and time management strategies. The course also works to improve student self-esteem and academic self-concept. Some first-year students may be required to take this course during their first or second semester. Other students may enroll in the course with instructor's consent, or should consult with an advisor.
