School Mission

(Data appear as originally submitted by this school)
As the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's (ELCA) most diverse and only urban institution, Augsburg strives to educate both traditional and non-traditional students, offering undergraduate degrees in over 50 major areas of study. The College also grants six graduate degrees, among them the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, the state's only Physician Assistant training program. Augsburg's 3, 700 students come from diverse religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The College also is a nationally recognized leader in providing services to students with physical and learning disabilities. This on-campus diversity is enhanced by Augsburg's location at the crossroads of the Twin Cities' most diverse neighborhoods. The College's location also provides access for all Augsburg's students to participate in community service and internship experiences that no only enhance their classroom learning but also prepare them for life's work in a multi-cultural society.
