CSL Course Booklists: Home

See the above tabs for current booklists arranged by semester or by program (EIIT, ODS, SMP). Please note some course lists may be posted before the instructor has finalized the selections. Look for the "Finalized" designation next to the course name (see the example below).

Concordia Seminary Library does not provide or sell textbooks to students. For your convenience, we've provided links to some online and local textbook vendors and some borrowing options in the "Students" section on the righthand side of this page. 

Example:

Un-finalized course:                                                                        Finalized course:
