Welcome to the Business Administration Department of Augustana College. Our mission is to prepare students for entry into the accounting and business professions or for graduate work. We do this by combining academic excellence with real world experience, all framed within a Christian Liberal Arts environment.

Augustana provides a unique learning experience. We emphasize small class sizes and ready access to our faculty, who also act as academic and career advisors to our students. Many students and faculty form lifetime friendships and continue to share their business experiences long after graduation. We continually monitor our academic programs and adopt new learning technologies and course content as the business environment changes. As a private school, we are also free to discuss Christian ethics and values in the classroom, which we actively incorporate into our courses. All of this is built upon a foundation of Liberal Arts. The result is a strong background in not only professional issues, but also in creative and critical thinking skills that place Augustana graduates in high demand in the job market and in graduate school admissions.

We are particularly proud of our Department faculty who represent a wide range of professional backgrounds from significant academic experience to distinguished business careers. We bring these experiences with us into our classrooms. Our strong ties in the Sioux Falls regional business community provide our students with extraordinary internship and consulting experiences as well as job opportunities. Our students frequently place highly in business competitions. Augustana graduates also traditionally perform very well in the CPA examination and in graduate school entrance examinations. Together, we celebrate each student’s accomplishments while they are at Augustana and long after they graduate.
