To meet the rapid growth of adult undergraduate and graduate students in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, Concordia University Wisconsin is opening a Waukesha Center for the spring 2012 semester.

The new location, at N14-W23777 Stone Ridge Drive in Waukesha, will primarily serve residents of Waukesha, Jefferson, and Dodge counties by offering undergraduate accelerated-degree programs, as well as graduate-level courses and the BSN (Bachelor of Science degree in nursing) completion program.

Prospective students and the community can see the new facility and learn more about programs and degrees available there during a grand opening from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 16.

All programs are offered in an accelerated format with classes meeting one night per week. Students can work full time while earning their degree at the new Waukesha Center.
