Concordia University (Oregon)

One remaining program, the accelerated bachelor's degree in nursing, continues to operate under another Concordia University System school.

The university closed most of its schools after the completion of the spring 2020 semester when its parent, the LCMS, withdrew major financial support.

Concordia University of St. Paul, Minnesota, now operates the School of Nursing and offers a program with an accelerated bachelor's degree.
