Concordia University - Wisconsin Reviews

"This school is straight garbage. All they want is your money just like every other private school and they don't even care about the students that attend there. They have no consideration for the students that struggle financially or care for their needs. My first year I got fined for something that my roommate did because I wasn't part of the situation and missed a hearing since I was out of town after I already explained I was not part of anything my roommate did when I was out of the room. All they care about is money, money, money. Absolutely zero consideration for students. Such a waste of time and money. You're better off going anywhere else that is at least half decent and actually has financial flexibility with your needs.Read Less"

"Expensive for a second rate program. Courses are Undergrad level, No help from instructors, Registrar/Cashier slow as heck, took 34 days to process payments and disbursements. I honestly learned more from a distance learning program when I was in the 1st Cavalry Division in the Late 1990s Recommendation? go to a State School, much cheaper and better education. I am sorry I wasted much of my GI bill on this."

"I loved my time at Concordia, I made memories and friends that will last a lifetime. The community at CUW is unmatched, the small class sizes allowed me to get to know not only the professors from my Major classes but also the professors from my general education classes. I could tell that all of my professors liked this too, they made an effort to get to know you. I played sports in college and that experience was also amazing, playing sports at a small college is really something special. Everyone is there because they love the sport, even if they aren't the best at it. My favorite part of going to CUW was the emphasis on faith development. The campus ministry people there really care about the students and were always ready to help support any struggling student. They didn't just want to convert you, they cared about you as a person.Read Less"

"I attended Concordia University of Wisconsin for my undergraduate in nursing. If I had to change where I would go to get my undergraduate I would not. Concordia University and the College of Nursing program they have is beyond spectacular. When people ask me what I liked most about my experience in this nursing program the first thing that comes to my mind is the professors. The professors are not only your teachers, but they become friends. They understand you on a personal and professional level. They have all been in the shoes of their students and they truly want what is best for their students and for the patients that their students are going to be taking care of. Concordia has great resources for students and they also have great financial assistance.Read Less"

"My education at Concordia University was a good experience. I felt that the rigor of program was tough and I definitely had to work hard to succeed in the program. Given the sheer number of students in their program they significantly increased expectations while I was in the program and I believe this could impact students who are not strong academically to succeed in the program. I felt well prepared when I started my role as a family nurse practitioner."

"I 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.Read Less"

"The school schedule was very accommodating to working adults having classes one day a week and still be able to graduate in 2 years."

"Concordia 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."

"My higher education experience isn't one of your average college student. I have been able to study in Europe (Spain and France) and just recently got back from an internship in Costa Rica - que chiva, verdad?! I have also been blessed with the opportunity to hold many leadership positions on campus that I have been able to gain lifelong connections and skills from. I am happy to say that my education has fully prepared me for the full-time position as an international tax analyst that I was offered upon graduation!Read Less"

"Concordia University Wisconsin sits on the cliffs overseeing beautiful Lake Michigan. The opportunities provide by the university is a vast as the lake itself. Located not too far from two major cities (Milwaukee and Chicago), CUW provides students with the opportunities to learn in person, online, and in blended format which is perfect for working adults looking to advance in their career. Take a stroll on the winding path from the bluffs down to the lake."

"Concordia University Wisconsin I hold near and dear to my heart. Not only did I attend for my four year undergraduate Bachelor's of Science in Nursing degree (for which is was on campus for), but I had such an amazing experience that I chose to attend online for my Master's of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner degree as well (which is online). Also, I plan to continue on to obtain my Doctorate of Nursing degree at the same institution. Concordia is truly one of a kind and I can not express how well the School of Nursing prepared me for my future in health care. The professors are so passionate about the success of their students...both in classroom and online. They truly go above and beyond to make themselves available to students to discuss any concerns and answer any questions. Additionally, the sense of community and support from the school is incredible. I can honestly say that this institution has directly impacted my confidence, preparedness for my career, and overall success in my future. I would highly encourage anyone to look into the programs at Concordia...either on campus or online, because it is truly an institution that stands apart from the rest.Read Less"

"Concordia 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."

"The counselors are loyal but will ignore you. So far, Teachers will not honor assigned web schedules and can fail you anytime in incomplete. Not a fair online program for working adults or non traditional students. Ruins your GPA, not for honor students. Students of any age are not treated with respect but slaves within the system. Beautiful campus and the Campus life itself ranks higher than the online classes. Online is not mgt properly. Very poor team work within the office administration and communications. Sad, A waste of student grants and loans.Read Less"

"Pros: - Some of the staff go above and beyond to support students. - Some staff members are very encouraging and are sure to provide positive feedback to students, in addition to constructive criticism. - The online journal databases from the library provide a wide variety of resources when doing research. - The library offers free book rental by mail to online students who are not able to access the library resources. - The classes are run through Blackboard, which has an app and can be accessed from your cell phone. Cons: - Costly - Seemingly unnecessary classes have been added to extend the length of programs - these classes feel like a complete repeat of previous classes taken. - financial aid is only available to grad students in the form of student loans. They do not provide grants to grad students. - inconsistency within the program - difficult to get a true answer to questions regarding curriculum and standards based on AOTA guidelines. -Length of the program is excessive for those completing only a master's degree when compared to other programs and AOTA guidelines. Those completing both a master's and bachelor's are only required to go for 1 year longer at the minimum to be considered full-time (12 credit hours for 2 semesters, 6 credit hours in summer). Their courses for the bachelor's portion are online only. - Program director and some other staff are very slow to respond when needed.Read Less"

"MS - Information Technology (IT) at Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW) is a well-tailored program. The curriculum makes you explore the vast area of IT and then drill down to the area of interests and develop expertise in them. Faculties are highly educated and capable of bringing out the best from every student in the class. Another very unique feature of this program is, it has various world views incorporated in the program which helps the student reach out to the origin of every concept to understand it’s rational and complexity. In the whole process what we get is a matured graduate who is open to any kind of challenge be in personal or professional life. I am thankful to almighty that I got the opportunity to pursue my masters at CUW.Read Less"

"My graduate program has extremely dedicated faculty who only want to see us students succeed. They have been very encouraging and helpful. The curriculum is very practical for an aspiring professional in the field and includes internship, independent study, and international options. While I highly value my program and the education I have received, the program is not very diverse in terms of students nor faculty. Additionally, while I did receive financial aid awards that covered my expenses, I wish there were scholarships available from the school for my program which would have reduced my student loan debt.Read Less"

"Amazing program, the only con is the technology at some of the campuses does not work properly."

"The Master of Science Applied Exercise Science program at Concordia provides students with an undergraduate degree in exercise science a great opportunity to further their education and expand their possible career horizons. The pros of the program is it is affordable, taught by professors that are very knowledgeable and have experience in the field, and is a blended program. Although the program is blended (with in-person meetings and online work), the in-person meetings are limited so students must be self-motivated to complete projects and assignments.Read Less"

"I am in the School Counseling Graduate program and have been very pleased with my experience. Taking 1-2 classes at a time which meets one day a week is very convenient with my work schedule. The professors are in field so I have receive great support to my academics."

"Concordia 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."
