The Faculty is very diverse and draws both from the surrounding area (especially rural areas around Camrose) and from the rest of Canada and elsewhere to make up its student population and staff. There is also a strong contingent of International Students on campus.

The Faculty has five departments: Fine Arts, Humanities, Physical Education, Science, and Social Science. The Augustana Campus also hosts a Bachelor of Science in Nursing after-degree program being run by the Faculty of Nursing. Augustana students benefit from small class size, proximity to the teaching staff, and "a close knit lively campus community".

History

Augustana has a long history in Alberta, beginning in 1910 as "Camrose Lutheran College". It was merged into the University of Alberta as of July 1, 2004.
