Music students are encouraged to explore Augustana’s study abroad opportunities and other off-campus study programs. Although music majors have tight academic schedules, there are interim, summer and touring opportunities for travel. For example, Augustana is a member of the Upper Midwest Association for Intercultural Education (UMAIE) that offers courses abroad during January interim session, such as studying music and religion in India.
