History

Concordia Ukraine was established in 1997 as Ukrainian-American Liberal Arts Institute “Wisconsin International University Ukraine”.

In 2017, our longterm partner Concordia University Wisconsin / Ann Arbor became the official co-founder of the Ukrainian-American Concordia University. For us it is a great honor that our co-founder agreed to use the word-symbol Concordia in our new name! The meaning of the word Concordia – consensus, agreement, peace – is gaining more and more importance and weight in the historical development of the world, countries, society and individual.

ConcordiaUA is licensed and accredited by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the State Accrediting Board of Ukraine, as well as by the International Accrediting Board FIBAA, to offer Bachelor and Master Programs on site and distantly for Ukrainian and international students, as well as In-Service Training and Preparatory Department Programs.
