I'm curious about Concordia in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Does anyone know what campus life is like or what majors they're known for? I'd love to hear from current students or alumni about their experiences.
Concordia University Ann Arbor (CUAA) is a small, private university affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. It's located on a beautiful 187-acre campus on the banks of the Huron River and has a very close-knit community, primarily due to its small student population of around 1,300 undergraduates.
Campus life at CUAA is quite vibrant. The university emphasizes faith, learning, and service, so you will find many opportunities to engage in community service, spiritual growth, and intellectual pursuits. The close-knit community can mean strong bonds between students and plenty of chances for leadership roles in one of the many student organizations and clubs available on campus.
In terms of academics, CUAA offers a substantial array of majors, minors, and programs. They are notably strong in health professions – particularly their programs in nursing and the pre-professional health sciences (like pre-med, pre-physical therapy, and pre-pharmacy). CUAA's School of Nursing is well-recognized for its quality programs and high pass rates on the NCLEX-RN exam. Another standout is their Business program which offers a variety of concentrations including Sport and Entertainment Business and Hospitality and Event Business.
As with any university, the student experience will vary significantly based on individual goals and preferences. It would be beneficial to reach out directly to the university for current student contacts or take a virtual/in-person campus tour to get a feel for the campus culture. Remember to consider all aspects— academics, social scene, spiritual life, location, etc., when making your college decision.
