About the Institution
The University of Alberta Augustana campus began its operations in 1911. Then it was known as Camrose Lutheran College. In its early years, it provided a significant opportunity for secondary education and was recognized for the quality of its academic program and its endeavour to provide an education that extended beyond the intellect to the "heart and its affections." Augustana began offering university work in the fall of 1959 as an affiliated college of the University of Alberta and added a second year of the university transfer program in 1969. It became Alberta's first private university in 1985 when the first B.A. degrees were granted. Augustana campus, became a faculty of the University of Alberta in 2004, and now grants four-year baccalaureate degrees in the arts and the sciences. Augustana remains inspired by the convictions of our pioneer legacy. We are a place where students matter, where teaching is regarded a vocation, where community is an everyday experience. We remain responsive to the region in which we are located, and at the same time, through the activities of our faculty and our alumni, our reach has become national and global.
