Yes. It says it is when you Google search AND it has a website about just that.

There are Concordia Universities in various states (I graduated from the one near Chicago), and are associated with the Missouri-Synod Lutheran Church.
This college is not associated with the Lutherans. The web site says, "Concordia College & University is associated with the The Technology Center Institute, accredited by the State of Tennessee Real Estate Commission."

Yes, here are dozens of Concordia colleges and universities
I do not see anywhere, that is is accredited by the US Dept of Education or one of the regional accrediting departments.
That is the question to ask them, there are 1000's of groups that issue their own acreditation, most worth little,
I would want to question them about their connection to the Dept of education, and its regional agencies, not other groups

It is nice to know that CAEL and Best Answer is the same person,
Guess they came here to advertise this school. Perhaps a real reason to worry about it, Someone has to come here and break the site rules to try and advertise a school. Makes me want to run and sign up huh ?

Myth 11: Any accreditation not recognized by the US Department of Education is useless.
Actually any third party review of a college or university is a good thing. But just remember, it is an opinion not a requirement and based on the peer review of self-established standards of a non-governmental, non-profit agency. It should not be confused with making that college or university legitimate. Reputation speaks volumes for the quality of a college or university. Many foreign Ministers of Education I have spoken to actually laugh about the US non-governmental accreditation process. The foreign accreditation requirements are much more stringent than the regional accreditation process.
Myth 2: The degree must be a US Department of Education Recognized degree.
This falsehood is where people believe a degree must be recognized by the US Department of Education. The US Department of Education does not, and has never had a responsibility to recognize college or university degrees. There are Regional, National and Professional accrediting agencies, which are non-governmental, non-profit, peer review, third party organizations that the US Department of Education recognizes for the purpose of federal tuition loans. This has nothing to do with making the college or university legitimate. Again, not true!
