Concordia, founded in 1881 as Concordia Progymnasium, received its original charter from the State Regents in 1936. From 1918 to 1969, it was named Concordia Collegiate Institute; in 1969, the preparatory school was closed and the present name of the college was authorized by a charter change. In 1972, the State Regents authorized the college to grant the baccalaureate degree. In 2011, the State Regents authorized the college to grant the master's degree.
On January 28, 2021, Concordia announced that it would cease offering classes as of the Fall 2021 semester and Iona College would purchase the Bronxville campus and provide a "teach-out" for current students.
