Augsburg University welcomes Minnesota high school juniors and seniors to participate in our full-time or part-time PSEO program. Through funding from the Minnesota Department of Education, PSEO students can take college-level courses for both high school & college credit, save thousands on tuition, and get a head start on their degree—with zero cost! Participants become fully immersed in the Auggie Experience through an inclusive community, small class sizes, hands-on professors, and learning that goes beyond the classroom.

Full-time students enroll in at least 12 credits, choosing from a wide range of courses offered across various academic programs. This allows them to engage in a dynamic, in-person learning environment, interact with faculty, and build meaningful connections with fellow students on campus. Students can take many of our courses on-campus; however, we recommend checking with a high school guidance counselor to determine which courses to take for high school graduation requirements.

Students interested in the part-time program can take up to two select online, asynchronous classes to expand their education.
- Introduction to Health, Physical Education, and Exercise Science
- Mobile Imaging: Learning to see the Ordinary
- Principles of Psychology
- THRIVE (The Thriving Life: Creating a Life of Meaning, Purpose, & Belonging)
- World of Music
Note: Students may not take courses outside the available selections.
