Concordia University System

The Concordia University System (CUS) is an organization of five colleges and universities and one satellite campus in the United States that are operated by the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS). All of the institutions are named "Concordia"—a reference to the Latin title of The Book of Concord, the collection of Lutheran confessions—and all include professional church work programs as part of their curricula. The CUS was formed in 1992. In 2011, 28,421 students attended Concordia University System institutions. In 2021, the official website for the system claimed an enrollment of over 35,000 students.

Non-member institutions
There are several educational institutions named "Concordia" that are not part of the Concordia University System. For example, neither of the LCMS seminaries (Concordia Seminary and Concordia Theological Seminary) are part of CUS. The non-accredited Concordia College and University is in no way affiliated with the Concordia University System or its seven campuses. The educational institutions of the Lutheran Church–Canada are not part of the CUS even though that church body was originally part of the LCMS and remains associated with it. Those institutions are Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton, and Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines. Concordia University of Edmonton was founded as a Lutheran institution, but has since secularized. Other schools of higher education named Concordia that are affiliated with neither the CUS nor the LCMS include Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and Concordia University in Montreal. ==See also==
