Why Augustana?
"Augustana does case-based learning. That was something that was unique, and that is what a lot of the curriculum at medical schools is based off of." Erin Spengler MD |
Are you interested in a career in medicine?
With its outstanding undergraduate programs in the sciences, Augustana College prepares you to be successful in professional school and beyond.

We have guaranteed and early acceptance agreements with some of the best professional schools in the Midwest, which puts our students ahead of those from other institutions. For example, if you want to study veterinary medicine, you can attend Augustana for three years before moving on to the University of Illinois for four years to complete your BA from Augustana and earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Augustana is the only college to have such an agreement with the University of Illinois.
