Located in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, Augsburg College operates as a private liberal arts institution affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The urban campus spans 24 acres near downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota's West Bank. Founded in 1869 as a seminary to train Norwegian-American ministers, Augsburg has evolved into a comprehensive college offering undergraduate and graduate programs, with notable strengths in nursing, business, education, and music therapy. The campus combines modern academic facilities with historic buildings, including Old Main, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
