Becoming a Gustie means getting more out of college. We’re glad you’re interested in joining our vibrant community.
Thank you for your interest in Gustavus! We know you have many colleges to choose from and we would love for you to consider becoming a GUSTIE! Gustavus is a place where you can explore your academic passions and get to know your professors and classmates personally rather than just be a number at a larger university. There are also hundreds of opportunities to get involved in our co-curricular programs and expand your horizons as well as develop your leadership skills. Please come to campus and experience it for yourself. We will make all of the arrangements!
Gustavus is one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country, but don’t take our word for it. In addition to being ranked among the best liberal arts colleges in the country by the U.S. News & World Report, Gustavus was recently named the #20 liberal arts college in the nation by Washington Monthly!
