About Augustana

Augustana is home to 2,500 students from different social, ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds.

They're all different, but they like to do a lot of the same things:

50% of them have double majors

55% of them study abroad, most on faculty-led trips

35% are in varsity sports 

25% join music ensembles, even non-majors

70% complete at least one internship

Visit Augustana, meet our students and faculty, and see them in action. Look around our home in the Quad Cities, where the Mississippi River runs through it, and nothing runs like a Deere.

The ‘sticker price’ is not the final price of college

Augustana is more affordable than families might think. Once they receive their financial aid packages, students and families can be surprised at the cost difference between a private, independent college and a large, regional public university.

It’s a difference that can be missed during a family’s initial review of college costs. And it can make all the difference to a student's college choice. (Read more)

Guest speaker: Dr. Dannagal Young

In this talk, based on her new book, "Wrong," Dr. Dannagal Young unpacks how our social identities (how we think of ourselves as part of our political teams) encourage us to believe things that are untrue. She explores how our media system fuels "us versus them" dynamics in ways that reinforce and distill these identities, keeping our demand for identity-reinforcing falsehoods high. Fortunately, there are ways out of this doom loop, and Dr. Young will explain what we all can do to reduce our appetite for "wrongness."
