Concordia College at Moorhead

Concordia College opened its doors in 1891, founded by Norwegian Lutheran immigrants seeking to preserve their faith and culture on the windswept plains of Moorhead, Minnesota. You'll find a close-knit community where students who value collaboration, service, and Midwestern straightforwardness feel at home—those drawn to music, teaching, or hands-on learning thrive amid professors who know your name. The campus sits along the Red River, steps from bustling Fargo, North Dakota, blending small-college intimacy with access to a metro area of 240,000, though expect long, harsh winters that test your resolve and keep social life indoors much of the year. Living costs stay reasonable compared to big cities, but the remote location means road trips for urban excitement.
