Thriving Urban Location
Concordia University is conveniently located just minutes from both downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis, 
which significantly broadens your options for jobs and internships while you're in school as well as career prospects after graduation.
Our urban location will introduce you to the many fascinating cultures that come together in our local community and will prepare you to succeed in an increasingly global workplace. The Twin Cities metro area offers an array of entertainment options — so you’ll never be at a loss for fun things to do when you take a break from studying.
In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, you're never very far from nature -- even in the heart of the cities. With miles of walking, biking, inline skating and cross-country ski trails, two zoos, parks and golf courses throughout the metro area, you'll find plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.
Concordia University is just a stroll away from the beautiful Victorian mansions of historic Summit Avenue, where the Governor’s residence is located. One block beyond is Grand Avenue and several miles of unique restaurants and shops — a window shopper's paradise!
Many students say Concordia is like a small town in a big city because you're part of a close-knit campus community, but you enjoy the benefits of urban life. 
The Twin Cities offer great shopping, professional sports, Valleyfair amusement park, dozens of theatres, museums, concert venues, and much more.
If you're looking to immerse yourself in the fine arts, it's tough to beat the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Concordia University is located in the heart of the metro area, just 10 minutes from either downtown area, making it an excellent home base for sampling the cultural scene or scouting out performance opportunities. Concordia's proximity to these cultural centers can help open new avenues for you.
