Founded in 1830, it is the oldest and one of the largest universities affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We are a comprehensive, independent university grounded in the Lutheran tradition. With a focus on rigor and experiential learning, we capitalize on our size, location, and heritage to develop the whole person, both inside and outside the classroom.
