Concordia University SystemThe Concordia University System is a organization of ten colleges and universities throughout the United States operated by the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. All ten institutions are named "Concordia" and all include professional church work programs as part of their curricula. Each Concordia is independent and unique, with its own president and faculty. At the same time, the ten schools interact with one another and share some resources and services. Any student enrolled at one Concordia has the option of permanently or temporarily transferring to another with relatively little hassle. Altogether, 15,000 students attend Concordia System colleges. The ten Concordias are: - Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan
- Concordia University at Austin, Austin, Texas
- Concordia College, Bronxville, New York
- Concordia University, Irvine, California
- Concordia University Wisconsin, Mequon, Wisconsin
- Concordia University, Portland, Oregon
- Concordia University, River Forest, Illinois
- Concordia University, Saint Paul, Minnesota
- Concordia College, Selma, Alabama
- Concordia University, Seward, Nebraska
There are many other institutions named "Concordia" which are not part of the Concordia University System. Concordia Seminary in St. Louis and the Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne are LCMS-run but not part of the system. Concordia University College of Alberta was founded by the LCMS, but it is owned by Lutheran Church - Canada, and is affiliated with the University of Alberta. Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota is associated with the ELCA, and Concordia University in Montreal has roots in the Jesuits and YMCA; neither is associated with the Concordia System.
