Concordia-St. Paul to cut undergrad tuition 20%
Concordia University-St. Paul will cut in-person undergraduate tuition by $5,500, lowering the price to $21,700 beginning in the 2027-28 academic year.[1]
The cut applies to both new and current students, lowering tuition to $21,700.[1] University leaders described the move as a "reset" to roughly 2006 price levels and said the change would not require cutting courses or staff.[1]
Concordia said a 2013 tuition reset produced an 87% jump in enrollment, and officials pointed to that result as precedent for the new cut.[1] The university also said it has a strategic goal of reaching 10,000 students by 2030 and that about 100 academic programs help feed multiple revenue streams.[1]
Administrators framed the reduction as a strategic move to boost access and growth while preserving academic offerings and staffing.[1]
