Concordia University Texas

This is a good place to get a quality education. Most of the professors on campus are kind and willing to work with you. Some of the online professors are not great though. Things should be run more effectively though. Oftentimes things are made harder than need be in terms of scholarships, class schedules and events. Also, don’t like that not coming to class counts against your grade. If you are paying for it and making good grades, I don’t think it is the right of a university to tell you you have to come to class. Some teachers will even go so far as to fail you if you miss more than a few classes a semester– on the other end of the spectrum, some don’t care about attendance at all.

Concordia responds to a negative post by saying they are open to the community «in many ways.»
Oh yeah? What ways? The guard shack at the entrance isn’t welcoming. The gymnasium is not open to the public. The fields are not open to play on, nor the tennis courts. Do they even have tennis courts? There are very few public plays/​theatre, and if there are, where are the notices going out to the locals to come share the joy of college theatre? Is their library open to the public? I mean, really, what «ways» are you good community members?
Now, I know they are a private liberal arts Christian school. They don’t *have* to be open to the community using their facilities. We don’t pay for them. But how can you call yourself open, inviting, and a good community member if you don’t do some or all of these things?
Two stars means, «meh, I’ve experienced better.» That’s a good description of this suburban school. I guess I expect more out of a small liberal arts college.

So this is where I got my degree … right before they moved 4 blocks from my house … up here on 620… my wife gets the joy of attending the school in close proximity.
I was a traditional student (in that I had to take normal classes during the day, they don’t offer Computer Science as ADP) but I was also working full (fool) time to support my family. My first professor, was an out and out idiot … he didn’t know as much about programming as I did (and I was a salesman at the time) then Prof Sloan replaced him, and he knows his stuff… he really challenged me, he has since left the institution so I can’t speak about that department anymore …
The math department is ACES they pushed me really hard (oh how I hate them) Dr. Feng really tore me up on Diff Eq, I got more out of that one class than from my calc 1 – 3 classes at ENMU, ITT and ACC. (I took calculus 5 times not because I failed …) apparently Calculus 1 doesn’t count for a Pre calculus course at some institutions … Dr Heck who taught the C.S. Lewis class is also slamming good.
I got a great job after I graduated, but it took about 6 months.

Wow… rating your college on Unilocal.This should be interesting. Alright so I agree with Merry that you do get a lot of perks by going to small university but it can have a the high school vibe to it as well. The activities they offer for both on campus residents and commuters is great. They practically give money away for you to start any sort of club and dorm life isn’t all that bad especially the newer ones. But of course that’s when i was there, soon this place will be moving to a campus which, hopefully, will put it on a bigger map.
If I had to do over it again would I? Probably not. Even though I met my wife here no one really knows Concordia. and if they do they just see it as a small private institution and question your degree. But maybe all that will change. I recommend this place for it’s seminary program, Directors of Christian Ed and Teaching Program. They provide a lot help and forward progression into your career. As far the math and science they kind of forget about you once you graduate and there no next step like internships or summer programs that are set up. Again they recently hired some new people that are trying to change that.
Overall I had a great 4 years here and loved the time spent here.

This is a small, Christian liberal arts school located in the heart of Austin. The advantages I experienced were getting to know your professors, and their willingness to help you. It sometimes has a high-​school vibe to it because everyone pretty much knows everyone. Overall, I think I got a good education out of this place.
