Concordia University-Portland announced plans to close on Feb. 10.
“We were deeply saddened that a sister Concordia institution will have to close its doors,” said Rev. Brian Friedrich, PhD, president of Concordia University, St. Paul, in a press release. “In such situations, students are always the top priority, and we quickly realized we were in a position to provide a solution for hundreds of students from our sister university who feel called to serve in the healthcare field.”
The nursing program will be subject to regulatory approval and accreditation. Concordia also hopes the program can be made available to future students.
