Concordia University Irvine
The heritage of Concordia University Irvine can be traced
to more than 150-years of higher education provided by
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). The idea to
establish a Lutheran institution of higher education
in Southern California was born in 1955.
As interest in establishing a private four-year college
increased among southern California constituents, church
officials formed a committee to select a site for the
future campus. After reviewing more than 87 sites between
Santa Barbara and San Diego, committee members selected
a hillside location in the Irvine community of Turtle
Rock. They were impressed with the site's spectacular
view of Orange County, and the fact that it was in the
center of southern California's major business centers
and school districts.
Frame your future around the "Concordia Experience" which
blends Christian scholarship and fellowship together to
become one of the country's top Lutheran liberal arts
universities. Concordia University Irvine is set in the
picturesque part of Irvine, CA. For tours or admissions
