Concordia University St Paul is one of the ten-member Concordia University System, a university system overseen by the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church. Originally founded in 1893 to prepare high school students for the ministry, Concordia gradually grew into a one-year, then a two-year college, ultimately becoming a four-year, coeducational university.

Concordia’s 33-credit MA program will instruct students in best practices based on research, emphasizing child development, building family and community relationships, and growing as an education professional.
