Augustana University welcomed a total of 2,548 students — part- and full-time undergraduate and graduate students — for Academic Year 2025-26, the largest ever student body in Augustana’s 165-year history. Among those undergraduates, a total of 615 full-time first-year students chose AU — a record high and 15% increase from last year. Augustana also set a record for the overall number of graduate students in the university’s history.

Each year, Alumni Achievement Awards are presented to Augustana University alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their fields of endeavor, communities and/or churches. The Horizon Award recognizes young alumni who have graduated within the last 15 years and quickly demonstrated outstanding vocational achievement and provided faithful service to their community and/or church. Recipients of both awards must exemplify one of the shared core values of the university.
