Augustana welcomes International Students!

We are happy that that you are interested in learning about Augustana, one of the finest institutions of higher education in the United States. We currently host more than 95 international students from more than 30 countries and encourage you to consider joining us as well.

Request information by completing this interest form that tells us about your areas of interest. We invite international students in their final year of high school to apply for admission and scholarships. Transfer students and non-degree (study abroad) students may also apply.

Our academic programs and location in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, are top reasons why students choose Augustana. With over 50 majors and pre-professional programs and a city rich with internship and research opportunities, cultural activities, shopping, dining, and recreation, it’s no surprise that so many international students call Augustana home. Plus, the Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD) allows easy access to the world. We offer many fun excursions to other parts of the United States for international students as well. Read about the many accolades the city of Sioux Falls has received.  View a map of Augustana's location in central Sioux Falls.   

Though we think items like our top-quality academics, small class sizes, excellent research opportunities, outstanding job placement rates, and our friendly campus speak for themselves, Augustana College is also highly ranked by several publications in the United States. U.S. News and World Report ranks Augustana the #3 "best value"  and #3 on their list of Best Regional Colleges in the Midwest . Washington Monthly ranks Augustana #6 out of 300 colleges and universities as "a school that contributes to the public good...through social mobility, reseach, and service." The Princeton Review also says Augustana is a "Best Midwestern College."

At Augustana, we believe certain individuals are called to "Go Viking." They understand that in order to create an even beter tomorrow, they must explore and discover bold concepts and important ideas today.  Read our Go Viking magazine to learn more about our students, their experiences, and what Augustana holds in store for you. 

We encourage you to contact us with questions about Augustana, our application procedures and admission requirements, or any other topics of interest.
