About This School

Concordia College at Moorhead is a private nonprofit institution located in Moorhead, Minnesota with approximately 1,829 undergraduate students enrolled. Concordia College at Moorhead has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 63%. The average net price after financial aid is $24,902 per year. The graduation rate is 61%, and the typical graduate earns $49,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you want a small Lutheran liberal arts experience in the Midwest — with just 1,721 undergrads, you'll get real attention from faculty, and the $20,895 median debt at graduation is genuinely manageable. The 72% graduation rate is decent but not exceptional, meaning roughly 1 in 4 students who start here don't finish, so it's worth asking what support systems exist if you hit a rough patch. At $49,000 median earnings a decade out, this school works best if you're planning to build on the degree — graduate school, a vocation-driven career, or a field where the mission-oriented network matters.
