Because interpersonal and intercultural relations are a vital aspect of a student’s education, Augustana regards the whole world as its classroom.

Our approved study abroad programs range from full college course offerings to specialized study; from courses taken with host-country nationals at their universities to courses taught in English to American students. Students may select year long, semester, January Interim, and short-term programs. Credit earned in an approved study abroad program is accepted just like credit earned on campus. 

Augustana professors lead many courses abroad each year, typically during J-Term or Spring Break.  Augustana also has many approved third party programs.  In addition to semester and year-abroad programs, several providers also offer J-Term options.  Augustana also maintains parthernships with sister institutions in Norway, England, Canada and Germany, and is a member of two consortia: the UMAIE consortium (January interim courses) and the Higher Education Consortium on Urban Affairs (HECUA).

Augustana's StudioAbroad portal will allow you to search Augustana's 500 plus approved study abroad programs, request an advising session with a study abroad advisor, get a cost estimate for a study abroad program and much more.
