Then it's on to another subject area. For undergraduate programs, students attend class one night a week and can earn three credits in four to six weeks, going on to receive a degree in as few as 18 months. No graduate programs are based in Madison. Those are available at Concordia's headquarters in Mequon, a suburb of Milwaukee. However, people in Madison who want to take Concordia's graduate courses without commuting to Mequon can do so through the modern equivalent of correspondence courses.
Students communicate with the campus and faculty via electronic mail.
Papers, assignments and forms are sent back and forth by e-mail, and students participate in interactive conferences with faculty and fellow students by computer, fax, telephone or express mail. Concordia University was founded in 1881 by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The private college now has about 1,450 undergraduates and 500 graduate students. Edgewood offers weekday classes for traditional resident and commuter students, weekend and evening undergraduate and master's degree programs and continuing-education classes. Admission requirements include a high school minimum GPA of 2.7 and appropriate ACT or SAT scores.
