Welcome to the International Programs Office

Located in Denkmann B30, this office serves the entire Augustana community by helping to coordinate programs such as terms abroad, international programming on campus and advising for international and domestic students. We develop resources to help students, faculty and administrators to prepare for their global learning experiences and to reflect on and interpret their experiences abroad after their return.

We also provide support and resources for the international students on the Augustana campus, visiting international faculty and exchange visitors.
