In the midst of today’s rapidly changing academic landscape, Concordia University Wisconsin has embarked on a mission that prepares all of its students to stand apart from the crowd. Undergraduates attending classes on the 200-acre campus along the shores of Lake Michigan in suburban Mequon are encouraged to venture outside their comfort zones and live a life that is uncommon, sharing their God-given gifts and talents in service to others.

The university’s central purpose continues to be to deliver a distinctive, Christian higher education that prepares graduates for successful careers. Teaching students to “Live A You First Life In A Me First World” has surged to the top. Students strive not just to fit in, but ultimately to become an individual who is passionate, creative, and faithful. 

“We are gifted by grace and prepared for a purpose. It is part of what makes Concordia University uncommon.” – President Dr. Patrick T. Ferry.

Academic performance remains a critical priority, and undergraduates can choose from 72 majors in six schools along with 42 master’s and four doctoral programs. Integrity, values, and faith are intertwined into a curriculum that rewards critical thinking. In August of 2019, the university opened a new, 41,000-square-foot academic building that now serves as a home for the Batterman School of Business as well as a brand-new Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic. Outside the classroom, more than 45 organizations and a campus community filled with service events enable students to flourish. Visitation Days are an ideal way for prospective students and their parents to step into CUW life.

CUW is a learning community at the junction of knowledge and Christian faith.

For 138 years, Concordia has educated men and women for lives of Christian leadership and service, uniquely developing students to step into the world ready to make an uncommon impact. While its mission has expanded over the years, its commitment to this core principle remains steadfast.

Concordia delivers a distinctive, Christian higher education experience, where faith and knowledge intertwine.
