Earn an associate’s and bachelor’s degree in four years at a total educational cost that is substantially lower than a typical four-year undergraduate degree.

The per-semester cost of a typical four-year undergraduate degree is out of reach for many students. By taking the first three years of coursework at a community college, then transferring to Concordia-Chicago for a fourth year of coursework, you are able to earn your bachelor’s degree for substantially less than the cost of a typical four-year degree.


Students who enter Concordia-Chicago through one of its community college partnership programs are eligible to enroll in coursework at a significantly reduced rate available only to 3+1 program participants. Concordia-Chicago’s enrollment advisors create an individualized program plan to accommodate the needs of each incoming student. A bachelor’s degree may be completed in as little as 18 months, depending on the number of transfer credits accepted at the time of admission.

Concordia-Chicago’s 3+1 partnerships give students the benefit of academic quality, first-class faculty and extraordinary learning environments. All Concordia-Chicago accelerated classes are delivered 100% online, allowing students to maintain work and family commitments while earning their degree.
