The Concordia University System is a organization of ten colleges and universities throughout the United States operated by the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. All ten institutions are named "Concordia" and all include professional church work programs as part of their curricula. Official cross symbol of the Missouri Synod The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) is the second-largest Lutheran body in the United States. ...

Each Concordia is independent and unique, with its own president and faculty. At the same time, the ten schools interact with one another and share some resources and services. Any student enrolled at one Concordia has the option of permanently or temporarily transferring to another with relatively little hassle. Altogether, 15,000 students attend Concordia System colleges.
