Student Testimonials
Cs
USAWonderful place to study! Great professors, great campus, learned a lot, developed leadership and work ethic from there. If you’re looking for a campus that has a beautiful view, can teach you soft and hard skills, and will help set you up with a job, this is the place.

USAI had my Bachelors in nursing at Concordia University Wisconsin. A private Lutheran College that is Christ centered. Everyone treated me with respect as an adult, African American male student in a female dominated profession. Professors are always willing to work with me and answer most of my questions. Hence, I graduated with my BSN in 2012 and have enrolled for my master's degree in 2016 to obtain my nurse practitioner license in the same school. I will be graduating in December 2019. I recommend Concordia University if you are looking for a good University to go to and also their tuition is reasonable.

USAConcordia is a wonderful school and makes you feel as if you are at home. The small class sizes is a great way to get to know your professor and get the help you need from your professors. Concordia is a beautiful campus with a 1 mile radius. It is connected entirely with tunnels so during the long winter months in Wisconsin you don't have to walk outside.

USAConcordia University Wisconsin has one of the best Educational Technology and Instruction programs around. The course professors and program councilors help the students and offer guidance at every turn. The program director and professors are professionals in their fields. They write for and speak in front of national audiences as well as teach in their own classrooms. They understand teachers because they are in the trenches with us.
Michele Deann Gaschke
USAConcordia University Wisconsin had a great online program. I have not completed my final practicum, but they have been so supportive of my hard work & needing to work around my schedule with working full time. I currently am working as a nurse educator at a Home Care Agency & it has been important to them that I complete my degree. I loved the classes & the instructors were very helpful & gave detailed feedback.
