Camrose Lutheran College History

Augustana University College was a Lutheran college in Camrose, Alberta, Canada,
from 1910 until its 2004 merger with the University of Alberta. It was established by
Norwegian settlers. Settlers from the Armena area were largely involved with the formation
of this College - Gunnar Hendrickson and Erick Lyseng. Erick Lyseng later became one of
the Board of Directors of the college.

Now known as the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta, it began its operations
in 1910 under the name Camrose Lutheran College. In its early years, it provided a significant
opportunity for secondary education and was recognized for the quality of its academic program
and its endeavour to provide an education that extended beyond the intellect to the "heart and
its affections." As such, the university emphasized residence life and students were highly involved
in on-campus programs which formed a pivotal part of the university experience. Augustana began
offering university work in the fall of 1959 as an affiliated college of the University of Alberta and
added a second year of the university transfer program in 1969. It became Alberta's first private
university in 1985 when the first B.A. degrees were granted.

On July 1, 2004, Augustana University College merged with the University of Alberta to
become a separate faculty and satellite campus of the university.
