Augsburg's 3,400 students come from diverse religious, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, representing some 40 states, more
than 40 foreign countries, and 24 tribal nations/reservations. The College also is a nationally recognized leader in providing
services to students with physical or learning disabilities, and to students in recovery through its acclaimed “StepUP
Program.” This on-campus diversity is enhanced by Augsburg's location at the crossroads of the Twin Cities' most culturally
diverse neighborhood. The largest concentration of Somali immigrants in the U.S. is located throughout the Augsburg neighborhood,
and one of the largest urban American Indian populations is within one mile. The College has been designated as a Minnesota
Indian Teacher Training Program site. The College's location also provides access for all of Augsburg's students to participate
in community service and internship experiences that not only enhance their classroom learning but also prepare them for life's
work in a multi-cultural society.
