Concordia University Chicago
Concordia University Chicago (CUC) is the oldest school in the Concordia University System, founded in 1864 as Addison Teachers Seminary and relocated to River Forest, Illinois in 1913. It became Concordia University Chicago in 2006 and today remains affiliated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), maintaining strong ties to its faith-based heritage while welcoming students of all backgrounds.
The university serves approximately 6,200 students (1,588 undergraduate and 4,617 graduate, including a large online cohort) across four colleges: Business; Education; Health, Science & Technology; and Theology, Arts & Humanities. CUC offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, with particular strength in education (the largest college), music, healthcare, business, and theology.
The 40-acre suburban campus in River Forest is just 16 km west of downtown Chicago — close enough for internships, cultural life and travel, but quiet enough for focused study. The campus blends historic Lutheran architecture with modern academic facilities like Brohm Hall, Klinck Memorial Library and Geiseman Memorial Auditorium.
