Explore Majors & Careers

As an Augustana student, you have multiple opportunities to explore who you are and how you want to live that out with and for others in the world. Whether you are exploring majors and careers because you just haven’t found the right fit yet or because you are changing direction, there is room for you and your decision process on this page. Use the resources below to help you determine the next best steps, identify your strengths and interests, and design your life to meet the needs of the world around you.

Exploration involves intentional thinking, acting, and reflecting on these questions as we move through each stage of  life.

A great way to earn credit for community service is by volunteering!
