CORE VALUES
Truth Concordia University provides a learning environment where truth and falsehood grapple with a firm conviction that there is absolute truth in God's Word which always prevails.
Beauty The university is a learning community with a faculty that encourages and helps students develop their gifts and talents to become all that God intends them to be; students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to work and think critically and creatively.
Goodness Christian learning imparts a sense of gratitude to God that compels us to serve our neighbor on campus, in the Church, and in the community.
Unity Unity within the Concordia community - working together with one mind - does not require uniformity. Rather, we are better because we are different. Yet, the unity we have as God's children brings together the members of our many communities.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Concordia was founded in 1881 as a school of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and officially became a university on August 27, 1989. Concordia provides a variety of educational opportunities for students who are preparing for vocations in the ministry of the church and for various professional and business careers in the community. The program of studies emphasizes a liberal arts curriculum and course offerings provide educational experiences that cultivate personal and vocational skills. The total program is centered in the Christian philosophy with a confessional Lutheran emphasis. It is governed by sound educational standards and is focused on the spiritual, academic, social, and physical development of students.
Concordia University seeks to develop mature Christians in whom knowledge and understanding of the Holy Scriptures, the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the source and norm of Christian truth, are united with personal faith in Jesus as God and Savior. Concordia's spiritual resources are directed to the development of Christian faith and practice of Christian virtues so that the student can form value judgments and arrive at ethical principles required for purposeful living.
Concordia's programs promote intellectual development and self-knowledge for the student?s personal growth and well being. They nurture religious commitment, provide insights for Christian action in the world, and facilitate the ability to communicate effectively. The programs provide an opportunity for intelligent selection of vocations for service to God, church, and society. They are designed to develop the professional competencies and commitment required for responsible participation and leadership in a complex society.
As a metropolitan education institution in Wisconsin, Concordia is determined to use all available opportunities and resources provided by the community at large to enhance the educational development of its students. Concordia also integrates a global experience into its curriculum so that the student can better understand the church and our nation in a truly global environment. Concordia, in turn, within the bounds of its philosophy and resources, is interested in exerting a Christian influence on the community, nation, and world. This is done through traditional and non-traditional university programs, adult and continuing education, graduate programs, and global education. With a spirit of Christian commitment, supported by a broad liberal arts education, graduates of Concordia will intelligently and unselfishly enter challenging avenue of service to church and society.
