At Luther, we feel that our college is an ideal setting for undergraduates from all countries. In addition to those who come from all parts of the world, students from many different American states contribute their own variety to campus life. And just as students from abroad come to Luther to learn, so Luther students go abroad to pursue their educations participating in our own January term, semester or year long programs or in other exchange programs throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Luther College challenges international students, but it is a challenge they do not meet alone. A system of continuous grade reporting coordinated by our Learning Skills Center identifies students who may be having difficulties in their classes.
