Welcome to the Augsburg Experience

A distinctive feature of an Augsburg education is our focus on linking classroom theory with off-campus learning experiences. Augsburg College is one of the few colleges or universities in the United States that intentionally includes an experiential element in our general education program required of all students.

We call it the "Augsburg Experience."

Specifically, the Augsburg Experience provides students with opportunities for:

• Direct involvement with people and organizations external to the college
• First-hand discovery, integration and application of knowledge
• Self-awareness through reflective and critical thinking
• Exploration of vocation, of what one is called to do in the world
• Learning that is life-long

While at Augsburg, I encourage you to deepen and extend your knowledge and skills by taking advantage of as many of the Augsburg Experiences as you can. Stretch yourself in and out of the classroom to fulfill your potential in a diverse and rapidly changing world.

To learn more, check out the web site and then contact your Academic Advisor, the Center for Service, Work, and Learning and the Center for Global Education to discuss your interests.
