You can canoe, kayak, float, cycle, hike, run, or ski for miles—all from trails or riverbanks accessible from Luther’s expansive campus.
luther’S hometown
Northeast Iowa is where picturesque limestone bluffs and ancient woodlands meet the Upper Iowa River. Nestled among these outstanding natural resources are Luther’s rolling green campus and the town of Decorah.
Decorah is regularly named one of “America’s Best Small Towns”—and for good reason. Top-rated restaurants, museums and galleries, local shops, and friendly, down-to-earth residents are just a few of the highlights that also make Decorah one of the Midwest’s best college towns.

Become?Because Luther takes an interdisciplinary liberal arts approach to learning, you’ll read, discuss, and write about important questions and ideas. You’ll learn how to view an ethical dilemma from multiple perspectives, put together a compelling and well-thought-out argument, and contribute thoughtfully to discussions. You’ll learn how to connect the wisdom from past generations and different cultures to today’s issues and challenges.
Why is this important? Because your life after Luther will not be confined to your major. You’ll need to think for yourself, offer solutions to problems, understand different points of view, and defend your opinions. You’ll need these intellectual skills, in addition to the professional skills you’ll gain at Luther, as you build your career, contribute to your community, or try something new.
A Luther education will give you the essential tools, skills, and experiences to prepare you for success and allow you to become the person you want to be.
What happens when your learning experiences are dynamic, challenging, and relevant? You try new things, gain a better understanding of yourself, learn more about the world, and find your place in it. that’s why a luther education lasts long after graduation.
