History
Concordia's
reputation as one of Canada's most dynamic and innovative universities has its
roots in over 180 years of pursuing academic excellence and student success.
This tradition of individual empowerment, discovery and leadership building was
developed by the University's founding institutions - Loyola College and Sir
George Williams University - and continues to flourish locally, nationally and
on the global stage. Learn more about our rich
history.
Programs
Concordia's nearly 300 undergraduate programs
are provided by four faculties: Arts and Science, Engineering and Computer
Science, Fine Arts, and the John Molson School of Business. Students are
enrolled in one of these faculties, but they may take courses from any of the
others as part of their studies. Many programs also offer a "co-operative"
component, through the Institute for Co-operative Education, whereby students
get work experience while they study.
In addition, the School of Graduate
Studies offers more than 200 graduate programs leading to Master's and doctoral
degrees, or to a variety of graduate diplomas and certificates for professionals
seeking to upgrade their knowledge and skills. Learn more about our programs. |
