Join our Facebook group, Augustana Goes International for important news, opportunities, and events.

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 — see the Augustana faculty-led course list for 2012.   View photos from Dr. Reynold Nesiba's 2011 January course: "Australia in the Global Economy." 

We have also approved many third-party study abroad programs and maintain parthernships with sister institutions, as well as the UMAIE consortium (January interim courses) and the Higher Education Consortium on Urban Affairs (HECUA).

The International Programs Office (IPO) offers many informational sessions, workshops, study abroad fairs, and other programming throughout the year.  See upcoming opportunities on the International Programs Calendar of Events. Drop-in Information Sessions are held at the International Programs Office  every Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. and every Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.  Attendance at an Information Session is required before meeting with a study abroad advisor one-on-one.  One of the first questions students and parents often have is about financing a study abroad experience.  Learn some of the basics regarding study abroad costs and funding.
 
To be approved for a study abroad course, all students must complete Augustana study abroad forms, in addition to the program provider's application (if applicable).  Please submit your paperwork by the campus application deadlines.

Augustana also sponsors a variety of service learning trips over fall, interim and spring break in conjunction with Campus Ministries that incorporate community-based learning, volunteerism, and service to others.
