When your son or daughter begins their journey at Concordia University, they step into a community that nurtures, cares, inspires and grows together.

Christian Education
As a Lutheran higher education community, our mission is to help students develop in mind, body and spirit for service to Christ in the Church and in the world. A dedicated Christian faculty integrates faith and stewardship into more than 59 majors (including the new programs in Environmental Studies, Horticulture, Philosophy and Sonography) and 24 minors. With those educational opportunities grounded in the teachings of Christ, students are able to pursue an academic path as individual as they are.

Personal Attention
We offer the kind of personalized attention that students expect and deserve. Students have direct access to school deans, experienced professors (not junior-level teaching assistants) teach their classes and our university president, Dr. Patrick Ferry, literally has an open door policy. In addition, with a faculty member for every 14 students, you’ll have confidence that while challenged to grow in their intellect, your young adult will have the guidance to meet any obstacle in front of them.

Affordable
We want to help make attending college affordable. College can be expensive but at Concordia, we’ll work with you through the financial aid process to make it as easy as possible. Higher education at a private university can be affordable!

Location! Location! Location!
Our location on 192-acres along the shores of Lake Michigan provides a beautiful setting for our learning community. Plus, we’re on the doorstep of one of the key economic hubs of the Midwest. Located just 15 minutes north of downtown Milwaukee, students can confidently prepare themselves for the future. With several national and multi-national corporations headquartered in Milwaukee, they’re at an advantage when it comes to securing summer internships and employment.

Inclusive Experience
College is more than academics. It’s about involvement and participation – creating memories that will last a lifetime. Our open and inclusive community gives all students the opportunity to get involved and make a name for themselves. A long list of extra-curricular programs, intramurals and championship caliber athletics brings excitement, passion and friendship when the text books are closed. Students can head to Concordia confident that they’ll be challenged academically and that they won’t have to say goodbye to the active, extra-curricular lifestyle they enjoyed in high school.
