Liberal Arts Education
Preparing you to make a living, and to live a life.
At Concordia University, you become part of a genuine community of learning; a place where your faith and your intellect intertwine; where you are uniquely developed to achieve your fullest potential.
The School of Arts and Sciences emcompasses a broad range of disciplines, across 13 departments, which house more than 40 degree programs. The School also guides the experience of all Concordia undergraduate students through the Concordia Core.
Far from the typical “general education” track, the Concordia Core gifts students with a true liberal arts education that builds in you the knowledge, skills, and habits needed to achieve lifelong professional and personal success. The Core invites you to explore and take part in life’s most enduring questions, great conversations, and the universal issues confronting humanity.

As you learn through this shared experience, you become a Concordian; claiming a distinctive perspective that empowers you to lead a life of uncommon purpose in all of the diverse experiences of your life. At Concordia we like to think of it this way: we’re not educating you just to “make a living, but to live a life.”
