Augustana University College was a Lutheran college in Camrose, Alberta, Canada, from 1910 to 2004. Currently (as of July 1, 2004) 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 emphasizes residence life and students are highly involved in on campus programs which form 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. Augustana campus, became a faculty of the University of Alberta in 2004, and now grants four-year baccalaureate degrees in the arts and the sciences as well as music. The current academic dean is Dr. Roger Epp, who has held the position since Augustana's merger with the U of A.
