From Concordia University - Wisconsin

Concordia University Wisconsin, founded in 1881, is a Lutheran liberal arts university located on the shores of Lake Michigan - only 15 miles from downtown Milwaukee and all of its cultural and professional sports offerings.

Home to more than 7,700 undergraduate and graduate learners are the sprawling, 200-acre campus in Mequon, Wisconsin; its adult learning centers located throughout the state; and, its online programs that reach learners worldwide. Students may choose from more than 80 undergraduate majors and from over 50 master's degree and doctoral programs. CUW also boasts 34 varsity-level intercollegiate sports programs.

In 2012, CUW entered into a strategic relationship with Concordia University in Ann Arbor, previously an independently operated institution but part of the same nationwide system of Concordias. The university, with its two residential campuses, accelerated learning centers, and online offerings, is now governed by one president and one Board of Regents. It is affiliated with The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Neighborhood

Nestled along the scenic shores of Lake Michigan in Mequon, Concordia University Wisconsin's campus offers a peaceful, residential setting with easy access to both natural beauty and urban conveniences. The tree-lined neighborhood provides a quiet atmosphere ideal for studying, while students can enjoy nearby parks, beaches, and the lakefront for outdoor recreation. Though the area is more car-dependent than a downtown location, the proximity to Milwaukee's dining, shopping, and entertainment districts makes it easy to venture into the city for weekend activities.
