Our Promise to You
A Christ-Centered Experience
As a CUAA student, you know the exceptional benefits that a Christian education provides. When you transfer to Concordia-Chicago, you'll find faith woven into nearly every aspect of the student experience. You'll also benefit from the same level of high-quality education that will form you to be a living example of what it means to serve God by serving a cause greater than yourself.
Affordable Pathways to Your Calling
CUC will personally work with every incoming CUAA transfer student on an individual basis. We will review your current financial aid award package and work to make your enrollment at CUC as affordable as possible. Our commitment to helping you reach your goals extends to our financial aid program and ensures that every admitted student receives either a merit scholarship or admission award provided the University.
A Simple Transfer Process
CUC’s transfer-friendly process will give you peace of mind in this uncertain time. Our transfer experts will help ensure credits you’ve already earned meet the requirements of related CUC programs. All admissions to Concordia-Chicago are subject to standard University requirements, policies and procedures.
You can begin the process at any time by determining which college credits will transfer to Concordia-Chicago.

- Hold onto a copy of your Transferology report to share with your CUC admission counselor
- Contact the admission counselor at the bottom of this page for a complete evaluation of your course equivalencies
