AN ENDURING MISSION
To
Prepare Students Concordia responds to evolving needs and opens doors to new opportunities in a changing higher education landscape.
Adapting to Serve Students Concordia’s mission begins with our students. Regardless of program, major, or degree level, students come to us for a meaningful, relevant education that helps them pursue their callings for life and career. Since Concordia’s mission was established in 1992, the student population has grown nearly five-fold, traditional-age students have shifted from Generation X to Generation Z, and the higher education marketplace has changed tremendously. Despite these changes, one constant is the way Concordia prepares students by identifying and adapting to the shifting marketplace and needs of students. As Dr. Kim Craig, Vice President of Enrollment Management, shares, “CSP provides degree programs that align with student aspirations and career opportunities in the marketplace. We’ve expanded our academic offerings in many ways, including our new Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program delivered in St. Paul and Portland, as well as programs in trauma and resiliency, cybersecurity and data analytics degrees, and many others.” Additionally, Concordia provides various modes of learning, from in person, hybrid, to online only. Craig says, “We continue to build on three decades of experience in online delivery to bring academic programs to students in the modes that work for their lives.” 5
