As a proud partner of the Iowa Private Transfer Collaborative, we are excited to offer more students a pathway to thrive and succeed at Luther College.

More than 600 Luther students made the Dean’s List for the Fall 2024 semester.

Luther placed best among its peers in key criteria evaluated in the Wall Street Journal / College Pulse 2025 best colleges ranking.

“We are pleased to announce that fall enrollment shows a 6.6 percent increase in the first-year class compared to last year, and we are also pleased to see positive change in rankings across a wide range of national indicators,” President Jenifer K. Ward said.

Since 2006, NSF grants have allowed Professor Todd Pedlar and Luther students to participate in international collaborations that conduct research in elementary particle physics. 

Five long-serving faculty members who retired this summer reminisce about the extraordinary students who motivated their work. 

Luther’s selection for membership in the FirstGen Forward Network was based on the college’s demonstrated commitment to improving experiences and advancing success for first-generation college students. 

Luther College announces that 259 students graduated in the spring of 2024. They were honored at the 2024 Commencement Ceremony on May 19. 

Luther College’s Spring 2024 Dean’s List includes 577 students; 61 first-years, 114 sophomores, 152 juniors and 250 seniors. To be named to the Dean’s List, a student must earn a semester grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale and must complete at least 12 credit hours with 10 hours of conventional grades (A, B, C, D). 

With the 2024 Commencement just around the corner, we’re celebrating the graduating class with Senior Spotlights.
