HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITYUNIVERSITY CONTACT INFORMATIONConcordia University was founded in 1893 to provide a Christian learningenvironment for high school students preparing to enter the professionalministries of The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. In the ensuingdecade, Concordia continued to grow, adding a fourth year of highschool and by 1921 had added the freshman and sophomore collegeyears. The change made it possible for Concordia High School students toremain at their high school alma mater to complete their first two yearsof college work before transferring to a Concordia Senior College wherethey would finish their studies in the church professionsor teaching.This catalog is designed to provide information about ConcordiaUniversity, its curriculum, its academic policies and procedures, and othermatters of interest to students, faculty and staff. Further inquiries may beaddressed to the appropriate office at Concordia. Contact informationfor specific offices, departments, or individual faculty or staff are availableon the university website at www.csp.edu.Concordia College admitted its first class of female students in fall 1950 –much to the delight of the young men on campus and to the dismay ofcoeducational opponents who predicted a significant drop in academicachievement. Despite this new “distraction,” students continued to excelin their studies. Concordia College entered a decade of intense expansionand growth. The college began granting Associate in Arts degrees in1951 and earned accreditation as a two-year college in 1959.Concordia College expanded its curriculum in 1962 to include a four-yearcollege degree and awarded its first Bachelor of Arts degrees two yearslater. By 1967, Concordia had earned accreditation for its four-year liberalarts program, which allowed the college to join the Minnesota PrivateCollege Council. At this time, Concordia High School officially separateditself from the college, moved to its suburban location and adopted itsnew name, Concordia Academy.Concordia College responded to a growing need for minority teachersin the public schools by forming Metropolitan Teacher EducationProgram Selection (MTEPS), which enrolled African-American and otherunder-represented students in a program designed to supplementthe curriculum with scholarship support, personal counseling, tutoringas needed, academic planning and similar services. The program wasreformed in 1983 as the Southeast Asian Teacher (SEAT) LicensureProgram, which serves Hmong and other minority populations in asimilar fashion.A major curricular development in 1985 changed the Minnesotaeducation landscape with the formation of a pioneering programthat allowed students to complete their B.A. degree in an accelerated,one course at a time, format. In 1990, an accelerated M.A. programwas added.As Concordia moved into the new millennium, the institutionimplemented a number of important changes that would reflectthe changing needs of the students, the church and the community.Foremost among these was restructuring that enabled Concordia tobecome a university. In 1997, Concordia College became ConcordiaUniversity, Saint Paul, and adopted the semester system.Concordia College and University PresidentsTheodore Henry Carl BuengerMartin A. H.
