Augustana students benefit from small class size, proximity to the teaching staff, and "a close knit lively campus community".
In the Fall of 2020, Augustana introduced three new interdisciplinary major programs as well as a project-based core in order to allow students to customize their degree to their own interests while also teaching them the skills needed to excel in any future career path or industry.
The Viking Cup was an annual hockey tournament, hosted by Augustana, which featured teams from North America and Europe; it has since been discontinued.
The Augustana Campus Library supports the research needs of approximately 1050 undergraduate liberal arts and sciences students and 75 teaching faculty.
It is a wireless hotspot, provides access to over 100 full productivity computer workstations, a variety of student work spaces and group rooms, and the Writing Centre.
