Concordia University College of Alberta is a Canadian private university that was founded in 1921 by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod to prepare young men for preaching and teaching Christian ministries. It introduced co-education in 1939, offering general courses of study, and an accredited high school program. In 1967, Concordia began offering first-year university courses in affiliation with the University of Alberta. In 1987 Concordia was granted degree granting status. The affiliation with the University of Alberta offically ended in 1991 by mutual agreement. In order to better reflect what Concordia offers, in 1996 Concordia was renamed from Concordia College to Concordia University College of Alberta.
