Coordinated Degree Programs

Augustana College offers the opportunity for exceptional students to apply to coordinated degree programs with other institutions. Our coordinated degree programs combine the best of an Augustana education with coursework and programs at other institutions. Students wishing to participate in these programs will spend two, three, or four years at Augustana (depending on the program) before attending another institution to begin study in another degree program. Students wishing to pursue this kind of program may choose three options: 

   1) Transfer Augustana credits at any point in their Augustana experience to another institution and complete their degree at that institution. Students will not receive a degree from Augustana College.

   2) Complete a four year degree at Augustana, and receive careful mentoring and advising to prepare students for a graduate program after they earn their undergraduate degree from Augustana. 

   3) Participate and complete a coordinated program with the assistance of an Augustana faculty advisor within a participating department (signed agreement required). Students will enroll in Augustana coursework for 2, 3, or 4 years depending on the requirements of their program.

Additional information about these programs and the names of advisors are given in the Courses and Programs of Study section of this catalog. Specific information and advice should be sought from the program advisor early in the first year of study. Augustana offers coordinated degree programs in the following areas:
