Concordia University, Nebraska is a private Lutheran university in Seward, Nebraska. It was established in 1894 and is affiliated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod as one of seven schools in the Concordia University System. The university is organized into three schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, and the College of Graduate Studies.
This small Lutheran university in Seward is worth considering if you want a faith-based, tight-knit community with relatively manageable debt — graduates leave owing around $18,750, which is well below average. That said, the 64% graduation rate is a real concern, meaning more than 1 in 3 students who start here don't finish, so it's worth asking what support systems are in place. Median earnings of $44,100 a decade out are modest, making it a reasonable fit primarily if the mission, education programs, or campus culture genuinely align with your goals.
