Our History
康考迪亚大学的历史可以追溯到20世纪50年代中期,当时一小群南加州路德会信徒开始计划建立一所路德会学院,为太平洋西南地区的人们服务. By 1962 the decision had been made by The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) to build the new school.
在对“完美”地点的广泛搜索之后,他们找到了加州的尔湾. 校园的建设始于1975年,并于1976年在基督学院尔湾举行了第一次课程, the original name of the institution. From a single building and thirty-six students, 学校已发展到二十多栋楼,每年招生人数超过5人,000 undergraduate, graduate, and online degree students.
In February 1993 the Board of Regents of Christ College Irvine, 回应LCMS决定将其10所学院和大学纳入 Concordia University System (CUS)年,投票决定将基督学院欧文分校更名为康考迪亚大学欧文分校. This CUS, along with the two seminaries, 130 high schools, and over 900 elementary schools of LCMS, 拥有美国第二大与教会相关的学校系统.
Concordia University includes Christ College, the Townsend Institute, and the Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business and Economics, Education, and Health and Human Sciences.
