Concordia University Wisconsin occupies a 200-acre campus situated on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan in Mequon, a northern suburb of Milwaukee. Originally established in 1881 as Concordia College Milwaukee, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod-affiliated institution relocated to its current location in 1983, with the historic Boerner Mansion serving as the centerpiece of the campus. The university offers undergraduate and graduate programs across six academic schools, with particular emphasis on healthcare professions, including pharmacy, nursing, and occupational therapy, along with business and education programs. Traditional undergraduate students are required to live on campus for their first two years, with housing available in several residence halls overlooking the lake. The institution competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Falcons, primarily in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference.
