The Augustana Campus is a faculty of the University of Alberta located in Camrose, Alberta, Canada at 49 Street and 46 Avenue. It was acquired by and became a part of by the University of Alberta in 2004.

Approximately 1000 students of the University of Alberta study full-time^[1] at the Augustana Campus. The Faculty is very diverse and draws both from the surrounding area (especially rural areas around Camrose) and from the rest of Canada and elsewhere to make up its student population and staff. There is also a strong contingent of International Students on campus.

The Faculty has five departments: Fine Arts, Humanities, Physical Education, Science, and Social Science. The Augustana Campus also hosts a Bachelor of Science in Nursing after-degree program being run by the Faculty of Nursing. Augustana students benefit from small class size, proximity to the teaching staff, and "a close knit lively campus community"^[1].
