About This School
Concordia University-Saint Paul is a private nonprofit institution located in Saint Paul, Minnesota with approximately 2,786 undergraduate students enrolled. Concordia University-Saint Paul has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 75%. The average net price after financial aid is $17,566 per year. The graduation rate is 59%, and the typical graduate earns $57,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $17,566 average net price and relatively low median debt of $12,166 make this one of the more affordable private university options, and graduates earning a median of $57,100 a decade out suggests solid career outcomes for the price. However, the 59% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention rate are genuine concerns — more than one in three students who start here don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before committing. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small Lutheran campus community in the Twin Cities and have a clear plan to stay on track, but ask hard questions about academic support during your visit.
