A distinctive feature of an Augsburg education is our focus on linking classroom theory with off-campus learning experiences. Augsburg College is one of the few colleges or universities in the United States that intentionally includes an experiential element in our general education program required of all students.
For example, Austin Wagner is a self described “nerdy” student researcher excited about finding the beauty in mathematics.
