Working for the Augustana Faculty
Augustana enrolls over 1000 undergraduate students in baccalaureate 
degree programs on a residential campus in the city of Camrose, 90 
kilometers southeast of Edmonton. The Campus is located on Treaty Six 
territory which provided a traveling route and home to the Cree, 
Blackfoot, and Metis, as it did for the Nakoda, Tsuu T’ina and 
Chipewyan, and other Indigenous peoples. Their spiritual and practical 
relationships to the land create a rich heritage and ongoing model for 
our learning and our life as a community.
The Faculty is committed to building on its reputation for academic 
rigour, high-quality teaching in the tradition of the liberal arts and 
sciences, and extensive opportunities for students in the areas of 
community service-learning, undergraduate research and place-based 
learning. Augustana offers a distinctive undergraduate experience 
characterized by an alternative academic calendar (“3-11”) and a common 
project-based core. Students benefit from the advantages of a small 
campus while earning a degree from one of Canada’s leading universities.
