The Concordia University of Edmonton has played an important role in Alberta's educational history since 1921. In 1987, Concordia University of Edmonton began awarding undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences. Today, we offer over 45 majors and minors in the fields of Arts, Science, and Management, two after-degree programs, three master's degrees, and several graduate certificates and diplomas. Throughout our history, we have been committed to providing a higher education grounded in a liberal arts tradition. We are a globally aware and responsible university and focus on our learners and the community's needs. Learn about Concordia University of Edmonton through our students and faculty's voices, in our new video series, #myCUEstory: Faculty Academic Life Student Leadership Fine Arts Athletics Success & Wellness Get Involved Alumni In the regular university, students move from lecture theatre to a massive hall. Scientists stay with scientists, educators with educators, philosophers with philosophers. Marketers share ideas with other marketers. The Concordia University of Edmonton was born to be different. For almost one hundred years, our students came together through a shared belief, despite their varied interests and fascinations, majors, and minors. It created a unique culture, where we could learn and create with anyone. CUE is no longer a faith-based campus, but it remains a gathering place — a place of spirit — no matter what drives us. At CUE, we apply what we learn, in and out of our formal programs of study, to solve problems on campus and beyond. We earn a broad education, intellectually and emotionally, even as we specialize. We live and work on a small campus, a river valley oasis, but Edmonton is our workshop. CUE is a boutique university, small enough that every student is essential yet large enough for a global outlook. In and out of our classrooms and lecture halls, we translate what we learn into extraordinary hands-on experiences. We can sit in the back. However, at CUE, someone will always invite us to the front. If we are scientists, we can follow our curiosity into drama. A business student can graduate with a foundation in history, philosophy, and Indigenous knowledge. We can all learn new languages and traditions. We can test our ideas with people from every department and course of study, from around the world. We can try anything. We can change directions. We can be our best selves. At CUE, a center for innovation blends science and business with the liberal arts and Indigenous studies. At CUE, the president might sit down at our table in the Tegler Centre with coffee and ask us why we chose this school, how it could be even better. The close friends we meet at CUE, the friends we remain with our entire lives could be from five different faculties and five countries. We are continually seeking the right balance between teaching and research, specialization, and adventurousness. However, our ultimate goal has not changed since 1921: to be more than students and professors, to create a community of active citizens, of good and honorable people. The Concordia University of Edmonton is a community of learning grounded in scholarship and academic freedom, preparing students to be independent thinkers, ethical leaders, and citizens for the common good. The Concordia University of Edmonton will be recognized nationally and internationally for its graduates' knowledge, skill, integrity, and wisdom. View full university

On the northern outskirts of Austin, Texas, a parcel of land was selected to become Concordia's new home. The selection of an appropriate site is instrumental to any institution's success, and it would be the same for Concordia. However, some were skeptical of the location given its distance from downtown, while others consider even the acreage excessive. Is Concordia overextending itself? Is this the right decision? Those were some of the sentiments in 1926 when a 20-acre site along East Avenue north of downtown Austin was selected for the new high school. Looking back, the concerns over location and size seem humorous with its location so close to downtown. The Austin of 1926 was very different from the Austin of 2008. In the twenty-first century of urban sprawl, it can be challenging to imagine vast, open countryside just a few miles north of the Capital. Much has changed. Over the years, a quiet broad thoroughfare known as East Avenue was replaced by the concrete of a double-decked interstate populated by roaring traffic. Open fields were replaced by dense development and an airport that has already come and gone. However, through it all, Concordia remained and flourished by God's grace on that small tract of land between Red River and Interstate 35. Expansion of services will also allow the University to reach out to the community and the church, broadening external relationships and image. Combining these will create a new, healthier future for Concordia and deepen the foundation on which it is built. View full university

Concordia University Wisconsin is known for its breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Many students will say the campus' location played a significant role in their decision to enroll. However, a large percentage of Concordia alumni living today—and even a few current faculty—will recall making a very different commute to school. That is because Concordia's original campus was located in downtown Milwaukee on 31st Street, between State and Highland Streets. From the school's inception in 1881 to 1983, students who attended CUW (then called Concordia College) did so. The inaugural class of Concordians, which was comprised of 13 students, met in the basement of Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Milwaukee. The next year, the 31st Street property was purchased to start Concordia's first permanent campus. For the next approximately eight decades, Concordia College offered high school and the first two years of a liberal arts college program, providing classical, technical, and religious instruction for students who desired to prepare themselves for the Lutheran Church ministry. In 1978, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod authorized Concordia to become a four-year accredited college that would provide instruction in teacher education, nursing, medical assistant, social work, and engineering. In a farsighted move in 1982, the LCMS purchased the former campus of the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Mequon, Wisconsin, and the college was moved 15 minutes north of its original site. On August 27, 1989, the Board of Regents approved the move to university status, and Concordia University Wisconsin became the first University among the 10-member Concordia University System. In 2012, CUW entered into a strategic relationship with Concordia University in Ann Arbor. The University now consists of two residential campuses in Wisconsin and Ann Arbor, ten satellite centers located throughout Wisconsin and in St. Louis, and online programs that reach students worldwide, with one President and governing body presiding overall.

The school that grew to become Concordia University, Nebraska opened its doors on Nov. 18, 1894, with one professor, a dozen male students, and a three-year high school curriculum. Concordia has since grown into a fully accredited, coeducational university that has granted tens of thousands of students degrees. The cornerstone on Founders Hall bears the initials E.L.S.L.S., short for Evangelische Lutherische Schullehrer Seminar, apparently the first name given to Concordia in 1894 by its German-speaking founders. Translated into English, the name was Evangelical Lutheran School Teachers Seminary. However, the school's early leaders did not worry much about settling on a consistent name. Dr. Jerry Pfabe, emeritus history professor and the university's archivist, has referenced a dozen official and unofficial names. Several of those names cropped up in the first few decades: Zweites Schullehrer Seminar Zu Seward, Nebraska (The second school teachers' seminary): The school's only purpose the early years was to train teachers for Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod parochial schools. The LCMS started its first teachers' seminary in Indiana and later moved it to Illinois. Lutheran Seminary/Evangelical Lutheran Seminary/Teachers' Seminary/Lutheran Teachers' College. Seward College: This was an unofficial name that appeared on baseball uniforms. No one knows for sure when Concordians first started playing organized sports, but they were believed to have adopted the Bulldog mascot in honor of Coach Walter Hellwege's pet bulldog, who accompanied him to games the 1920s.German College: This was unofficial—sometimes derogatory—the name used by Seward County residents to describe the college. Lutheran Normal School: "Normal school" training was the term for teacher education programs in the early part of the century. Concordia began offering bachelor's degrees in 1939, but teachers were not required to have bachelor's degrees for several more years in many states. Look long enough, and you may still find the initials C.T.C. stamped on objects around campus. Concordia Teachers College was the school's official name for decades; however, the "Teachers" was gradually dropped from recruitment materials as the curriculum expanded to include D.C.E. and pre-seminary programs, followed by a host of liberal arts majors in the 1970s and 1980s. Although Concordia is still operated under the LCMS's auspices, it now recruits students from many Christian denominations. Teacher education is still the most extensive program on campus but makes up less than half the student body. The school changed its name to Concordia University in 1998. View full university
