Course Information

Courses of Instruction

The catalog information presents the range of educational opportunities which are available at Augustana under the curriculum. Some additional courses are offered occasionally which do not appear in this catalog. These course descriptions can be found at www.augie.edu/registrar.

Courses numbered 095/6 are participation experiences for credit. Courses numbered from 100-199 are introductory to a field or discipline, and usually serve as prerequisites to more advanced courses. Courses numbered from 200-299 may require a 100 level course as a prerequisite or presume some previous knowledge of the subject matter and methodology of the course. Courses numbered 300-399 often have prerequisites. Normally juniors and seniors will be taking 300 level courses. Courses numbered 400-499 are typically open to seniors only, however some are open to juniors. Courses numbered 500-699 are limited to graduate students and are listed in the Graduate Catalog.

The administration reserves the right to discontinue classes in which the registration is deemed insufficient.

Exchange Agreement

In order to diversify the academic possibilities at Augustana, the University has an agreement with the University of Sioux Falls which allows students to take courses there when the equivalent is not offered at Augustana. Information about available exchange opportunities and the procedures to follow to take a course at USF may be obtained at the Registrar’s Office.

Frequency of Course Offerings

The frequency of course offerings is subject to change at any time. Consult the semester course offering information for actual courses being offered in a given term.  The Academic Planner tool available on my.augie.edu for current students gives course offering projections.
