Finding Your Fit: Why Students Transfer to Concordia Texas

Sometimes the college you started at isn't the one you're meant to finish at - and that's okay. At Concordia University Texas, we believe every student deserves to be seen, supported, and inspired to thrive - in both academics and faith.

If you've been thinking about transferring, you're not alone. Many of our students found their true fit at CTX after realizing they needed something more - smaller classes, professors who know their names, and a Christ-centered community that feels like home.

When You Know It's Time to Transfer

Maybe your current school feels too big. Maybe you're searching for a sense of purpose or a place where your professors truly invest in your success. For transfer students like Abiha Zulfiqar, finding that kind of connection was life-changing:

"My English classes inspired me to continue pursuing my passion for the subject… The small classes and tight-knit community really make this college great. Being able to truly know the people you learn with and learn from allows you to gain a deeper understanding." - Abiha Z., English major '26

For others, like Josiah Wells, it was about rediscovering confidence and a love for learning:

"At Concordia, professors treat everyone with respect and patience. That helped me feel more at ease than I thought possible. The faculty truly care and work with you - that's what makes this place different." - Josiah W., English major '26

More Than a Number

At many large universities, students can feel lost in the crowd. At Concordia Texas, you're more than a number. Professors take the time to know you, advisors help plan your path, and classmates become lifelong friends.

Ty Spalding, a Ministry major, shares how that sense of belonging made a difference:

"It feels like a family. Everyone is so tight-knit. Leading a grow group helped me step into a leadership position where I can thrive." - Ty S., Ministry major '28

When you transfer to Concordia, you'll experience a student-centered environment designed to help you succeed - inside and outside the classroom.

Learning with Purpose

Every Concordia student has a unique calling. For Jared Guidry, transferring to CTX opened doors to hands-on experiences that shaped his career path:

"The environmental science program gave me real-world experience that prepared me for my career. My professors pushed me to think critically, work hard, and stay curious about the world around me." - Jared G., Environmental Science and Conservation '22
