University in Michigan

Concordia University Ann Arbor (CUAA) is the Ann Arbor, Michigan, campus of Concordia University Wisconsin, a private Lutheran university in Mequon, Wisconsin. As part of Concordia University, it is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Concordia University Ann Arbor's campus sits on the banks of the Huron River, about ten minutes outside downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. Concordia is affiliated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) and is a member of the Concordia University System. CUAA merged with Concordia University Wisconsin in 2013.

In the early 1960s, the LCMS purchased the Earhart Manor and surrounding estate in Ann Arbor and began construction of Concordia Lutheran Junior College. The campus was designed by architect Vincent Kling in a mid century modern style. Classes began in the fall of 1964 with 234 students and 24 instructors. The school began offering four year degree programs in 1976 and changed its name to Concordia College. The merger became effective on July 1, 2013, with Curt Gielow, former executive dean of CUW's School of Pharmacy and former mayor of Mequon, Wisconsin, becoming Vice President of Administration and Chief Campus Officer at CUAA. He was replaced at the end of 2018 by Ryan Peterson. In 2015, the university purchased the former Ann Arbor campus of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. That facility, 2 mile (3 km) north of the main campus, is now the home of CUAA's School of Nursing. In mid February 2024 local news sources reported that Ankerberg had alerted the students, faculty, and staff that the university's financial situation was forcing the Ann Arbor campus's mission to be "re imagined," likely leading to significant reductions in the programs and the sale of the some of the equipment and property. On February 29, 2024, John Berg, chairman of the board, released a video stating that the campus would remain at full operations for the 2024 2025 academic year. He also stated that a sub committee was created to help develop a path forward, which was later revealed, to help the university separate from the Wisconsin campus.

The Concordia–Ann Arbor (CUAA) athletic teams are called the Cardinals. The school's mascot is named Corky the Cardinal.
