Augsburg University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 82%. The average net price after financial aid is $23,873 per year.

Augsburg University is a private university in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. It is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It was founded in 1869 as a Norwegian-American Lutheran seminary known as Augsburg Seminarium. Today, the university enrolls approximately 2,400 undergraduate and 700 graduate students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 52% graduation rate and 70% freshman retention rate suggest that many students who start at Augsburg don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the brighter side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $19,500, and the urban Minneapolis location offers real access to internships and career connections that a small campus (about 2,400 undergrads) might not otherwise provide. Worth considering if you're drawn to a faith-affiliated, community-focused environment and have a clear plan to stay on track — but students who need strong academic momentum built in should ask hard questions about support services during campus visits.
