Augsburg College Rochester

By Anna Stevens

Celebrating 10 years in Rochester, Augsburg offers undergraduate degrees, education licensure options, a nursing bachelor’s completion program, and graduate degrees in education, business, and nursing in a setting meant for busy, working adults. The Augsburg College website declares that “Auggies (Augsburg students) are lifelong learners,” so it should come as no surprise that the college strives to make learning possible at any age.

An offshoot of the downtown Minneapolis main campus, the Rochester Augsburg branch strives to meet the needs of the city. Director Karl Wolfe says, “We have just added the communication major and continue to look at other degree programs that can best serve the Rochester and greater southeastern Minnesota area.”
