Augustana students stand out from other applicants for graduate programs and jobs due to their rigorous academic records, scientific research, and hands-on experiences in health care. Our core curriculum will strengthen your critical thinking and communications skills to assist your everyday work caring for people. Augustana professors will carefully advise you in the pre-professional health program that best fits you.

Students are encouraged to learn about their chosen health profession through internships, volunteer experiences and employment. 

Admission requirements vary among graduate schools; therefore, a student interested in a career in the health industry should identify the schools he or she is interested in as early as possible. Students should consult with their advisors on a regular basis to discuss course selection and graduate and professional school application procedures.
