If you’re a student at Cardinal Stritch worried about where or how you’ll finish your degree, we’re here to help.

On April 10, the sad news broke of Cardinal Stritch University’s plans to close at the end of the academic year. Stritch, Concordia’s friend and neighbor institution just 11 minutes south, joins a growing list of universities nationwide that have had to shutter operations within the past few years due to mounting challenges facing the higher education landscape. Concordia’s community extends its thoughts and prayers to the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Stritch.

In the wake of this announcement, Concordia is committed to providing Stritch students with certainty:

1. Attractive transfer options
2. A quick and smooth process
3. Graduate-level tuition rates that are equal to or lower than what students paid at Stritch
4. Direct admission and competitive prices at the undergraduate level
