UNDERGRADUATE

The Concordia Board of Regents operates Concordia as an institution of higher education.

Forty-seventh Academic Year 2023 - 2024

Welcome to the Concordia University Irvine Online Catalog.

Concordia is a Lutheran university that develops wise, honorable, and cultivated citizens through the liberal arts and professional studies. We do this by dedicating ourselves to the holistic formation of students, whether undergraduate or graduate. We educate the mind, body, heart, and soul. The formation of the mind takes place in the academic classroom, labs, and wherever our students are engaged in the academic enterprise. The cultivation of the body happens on the athletic fields, gymnasium, intramurals, a lone hiking trail, and in the residential communities on campus. The cultivation of the heart and soul is what makes us a community of faith. As a Lutheran community, we are dedicated to sharing the gospel with all in accordance with Jesus Christ's Great Commission. We encourage and equip our students to think deeply about their own spiritual lives and the cultivation of their soul by witnessing to the love of Christ. Then we ask them to turn their hearts outwards to others, whether they are classmates on campus, in an online classroom, in the local community, or throughout the world.

We invite you to use this catalog to learn more about what a Concordia education has to offer and then to consider becoming a part of the Concordia family, a family whose members know God's love and strive to reflect that love in interactions with others.

For His Students,

Michael A. Thomas, PhD President
