Top 10 Undergraduate Majors at Concordia University Texas

Concordia University Texas offers more than 20 undergraduate majors and allows students to customize their degrees with concentrations, minors and pre-professional programs.

Every program at Concordia offers small class sizes, allowing you to ask questions, interact directly with professors and participate in exciting discussions.

Here are the ten majors with the most students at Concordia University Texas.

1. Nursing

The nurses in purple scrubs stand apart. Concordia's Nursing program is rooted in Christian values and focuses on equipping nurses to deliver exemplary care.

Concordia Nursing's Echelon 1 campus in North Austin features simulation labs where students practice their skills on lifelike mannequins. Students also gain hands-on experience through clinical rotations in the Austin area.

There are three paths toward earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at Concordia:

• Traditional Track

You enroll as a Pre-Nursing major while completing Pre-Nursing Sequence for the first two years. During the last semester of your Pre-Nursing courses, you apply to the Nursing program and, once admitted, complete the two years of the Professional Nursing Sequence.

• Direct Entry Track

Incoming freshmen admitted as Pre-Nursing majors will be evaluated to determine their eligibility for direct admission into the BSN program. If you are directly admitted, you will secure a spot in Concordia's prestigious BSN program, as long as you meet the final requirements while completing the Pre-Nursing Sequence.

• Accelerated BSN Track

The Accelerated BSN is designed for students with previous college experience in a non-nursing field. This accelerated program combines rigorous online coursework with hands-on clinical work, allowing you to earn your BSN in just 16 months.
