What Teachers Are Saying

"Concordia University Chicago offers a convenient cohort program that made attending school, working, and being a single parent accessible and attainable. The Curriculum and Instruction Master's program met on the same weekday for two years and maintained a predictable and realistic schedule."

"A colleague of mine handed me a flyer about all of the programs offered at Concordia University Chicago and what appealed to me was that there was a location offered right down the street from where I live and the programs were arranged so that you were able to continue working while moving towards your master's degree."

"My master’s degree from Concordia University Chicago has helped me to become more of an expert in my field. I feel more confident in knowing what my students need and how to meet their needs. I also believe that it has helped me to stand out as a leader in education."
