Overview

Overview

Every academic experience at Concordia follows the liberal arts credo of challenging students to think deeply, while developing the ability to communicate (write, speak, tweet) persuasively. The Offutt School of Business blends liberal arts learning and a globally immersive business education. Concordia’s world-class music program features 19 performance ensembles while varsity athletic programs in 22 men’s and women’s sports have produced an NCAA Woman of the Year finalist and 10 recent NCAA Postgraduate Scholars. Our integrative learning opportunities take students out of the classroom and immerse them in new communities, cultures and experiences, using a liberal arts foundation to prepare leaders for a world of change.
