Honors Program

What We Do

Unique among all honors programs in the country, the Augsburg College Honors Program combines the ancient traditions of a medieval curriculum with the genuine freedom and flexibility needed for students to create their own ideal higher education.

Students enjoy personal access to distinguished professors teaching their favorite material. The result is a captivating educational adventure designed to challenge and inspire exceptional students.

How We Work

The Augsburg Honors Progrram provides Honors students with advantages:

First, the Honors Signature Courses, based on the medieval divisions of knowledge, automatically satisfy all of the College's general education requirements (except health/physical education and modern language) in a simple sequence of challenging courses, created just for Honors students.

Second, Student-Created Courses allow students to design their own courses—as either a replacement or supplement to the established Honors courses. Students can learn through one-on-one tutoring, small reading groups, or out-of-classroom experiences.

Third, Honors Leadership Activities give Honors students access to the The Augsburg Review, Honors Debate League, Faculty/Student Research Collaboration, and the Honors Houses. Through these activities, students can engage in travel abroad, service-learning, social justice activities, political activism, leadership, research, and social gatherings with their friends.

We believe that higher education should be a grand adventure. We invite you to begin your educational adventure with us.
