About This School

Concordia University Texas is a private nonprofit institution located in Austin, Texas with approximately 1,388 undergraduate students enrolled. Concordia University Texas has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 91%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,240 per year.

Concordia University Texas is a private university in Austin, Texas, United States. The university offers undergraduate, graduate, and online degrees as well as an adult degree program for part-time and returning students.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 91% acceptance rate and relatively low median debt of $15,134 make it accessible, and being in Austin has real value for networking and job opportunities. However, the 41% graduation rate is a serious red flag, meaning fewer than half of students who start here actually finish, and a 63% freshman retention rate suggests many students leave after just one year. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan, strong support systems, and have compared it carefully against other affordable Texas options.
