Why Augsburg?

Augsburg is the perfect place for high school students who are motivated and seeking a college experience with smaller class sizes, hands-on professors, and learning that goes beyond the classroom.

PSEO students who do well in their classes will be guaranteed admission after high school graduation through the Augsburg Applies to YOU direct admission pathway.

If you choose to continue your journey at Augsburg after graduating from high school, you’ll have access to the wide range of scholarships that we offer our Undergraduate students. Some scholarships can even cover the full cost of tuition!

The augsburg experience

“I was initially unsure and a little nervous because these were actual college credits, and I was also intimidated by the idea of being on a university campus. I hadn’t taken any AP or honors classes before, so this was a big step.

Despite my initial hesitation, my experience with PSEO at Augsburg University has been excellent. The professors here have been very supportive, and I’ve truly enjoyed learning from them. I also really love the campus. The support from the CLASS office was incredible

One of my favorite places to study was the library. It was quiet and peaceful, which helped me focus and allowed me to meet other students and build new connections. I also really enjoyed the orientation; it helped me meet a few friends I’ve stayed in touch with, and some of my closest friends today.

I especially preferred in-person classes because they helped me meet more people and get to know my professors better. I loved the one-on-one interactions and the relationships I built through those classes. One of the biggest highlights of my PSEO journey was earning my associate degree while graduating from high school, and having my grandfather visit from India to celebrate that moment made it even more special.

If I had any advice for incoming PSEO students, it would be this: have fun and explore all the new things the campus offers. Make sure to attend class daily, ask questions, and attend your professors’ office hours; they’re invaluable and want to see you succeed. Always submit your assignments on time and try not to procrastinate. Most importantly, take advantage of all the resources available on campus. They do make a difference.”  – Siddarth (PSEO Student)
