Students' Top Reasons
Augustana students have a chance to reach well beyond their current experiences and immediate surroundings to find a place where they belong within a rich, diverse campus community.
- Hands-on learning opportunities include course credit for work or volunteering off campus, Arctic outdoor adventures, or tours around the world. One in three Augustana graduates has studied internationally!
- In addition to $25 million dollars in scholarships and awards available to University of Alberta students, another $400,000 is available to students on Augustana campus.
- Augustana's undergrads partner with their professors to conduct research, both for presentation and publication. On most larger campuses, Masters and Ph.D. students handle the research.
- Our students, staff, faculty and Camrose neighbours turn out to cheer our Vikings, who compete in hockey, volleyball, basketball, curling, soccer, golf, biathlon and cross-country events. Other teams complain that we have the loudest fans in the ACAC!
- The range of campus activities is yours to explore, from over 20 student clubs to open-audition drama productions, student government and residence events.
- You will build a network among fellow students, recent graduates and alumni that extends around the world.
- We offer guaranteed residence for every new student; and you can stay in residence all four years!
- You can choose from among highly-regarded degree programs in political studies and philosophy; art, chemistry, music and languages; business economics, biology, sport studies and psychology; global and development studies, environmental science, sociology and many, many more.
- With a student-faculty ratio of 16 to 1, our professors know their students on an individual basis.
