Concordia University

Located in Portland, Oregon, Concordia University is a private, Christian, liberal arts university committed to the dual purpose of preparing students for life and for a living. Concordia pursues online learning with the same passion and commitment to excellence that has marked its 104-year history in quality Lutheran education.

Concordia’s online courses are rich in learner-to-learner and instructor-to-learner interactivity. The university strikes a balance between offering learners maximum flexibility (in terms of course work completion) and academic rigor that characterizes a quality educational experience.

Online courses take the same dedication as classroom courses. Online students form a diverse learning community that requires regular “attendance” and engagement to maximize the learning potential of all participants.
Nearly all of the resources made available by the Concordia University Library to its traditional student body, including electronic databases, full-text articles, document delivery, electronic reserves and interlibrary loan services, are accessible online to all students.

For distance learning students, the Concordia library can order photocopies of periodical articles, ERIC documents, or books and mail them to your doorstep. The only cost associated with this service is the return postage. You can also request that the books be ordered and waiting at your local library for free pick-up. This service was designed especially for students enrolled in online learning, Web-based programs.
