About Concordia University Chicago (CUC)

Founded in 1864 as Addison Lutheran Teachers Seminary, today Concordia University Chicago (CUC) is a comprehensive university with more than 6,000 full-time students enrolled in baccalaureate, master's and doctoral study. Affiliated with the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), the University is one of eight colleges and universities that are part of a nationwide Concordia University System.

As a private, liberal-arts-based university, Concordia's vibrant, engaging academic community is designed to help students reach their full potential. CUC cultivates within each of its students the ideals of a Christian life with Jesus Christ at the center of all they do. Within that framework, students seek greater meaning in their vocations as they pursue ways to serve the greater good and mature in their faith.

CUC's faithfulness to its Lutheran identity, its commitment to vocation, and dedication to providing a transformational education within the context of a variety of high-quality academic programs, along with its proximity to Chicago, all combine to make CUC an ideal destination for students locally, nationally and from around the world.

Professional Opportunities and Internships: As a centralized hub for a variety of thriving industries including technology, healthcare, manufacturing and transportation, Chicago offers endless opportunities for career development. Concordia-Chicago students are able to access and learn from top-tier employers across the city.

Post-study work information

Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical. Eligibility is checked for each program — see the program page.
