愿景
教师, 领导, 工作人员, 学生, and alumni carry out Concordia’s mission each and every day as they pursue a vibrant path to the future.
The vision of Concordia is to be well-known nationally and internationally as a premier Lutheran, Christian university, widely recognized for meaningful integration of faith and learning. 校友 will assume significant servant 领导 responsibilities in the Church and communities across the nation and throughout the world.
Concordia’s vision is vigorously pursued in four critical ways:
The university commits to being a higher education community centered on faith and learning.
Concordia 学生 learn in innovative Christ-centered environments that are guided by comprehensive assessment. 教师, 工作人员, and university administrators are role models and servant leaders. Christian faculty excel in teaching and mentoring, and they successfully connect faith to learning. Academic 项目 are rigorous and diverse, consistent with the needs of the Church and communities.
The university plans for purposeful growth.
学生 grow as they develop in mind, body, and spirit. Concordia grows as it reaches more people with its mission. The university’s campuses, 设施, human and financial resources, and infrastructure expand to support a robust student experience in a welcoming environment, which results in the professional, 社会, 学术, and spiritual formation of all Concordians.
The university makes an impact through service and 领导.
Concordia impacts the Church and world by developing globally minded citizens who, through Christ-like service and 领导, transform lives, influence communities, and value their neighbors near and far.
The university champions access and opportunity for all learners.
Concordia provides access to the highest-value higher education experience. As a result, Concordia 学生 discover and develop their vocations. Rigorous assessment of the university’s 学术 offerings, 服务, delivery systems, and market and organizational performance result in continuous improvement of the Concordia experience, which enables 学生 to pursue and persist in their chosen career paths.
