About Concordia
Concordia is a Christian liberal arts university located in northwest Edmonton, overlooking the North Saskatchewan River.
When it comes to learning, there are no limits and there is no finish line. The real world demands constant evaluation and adaptation. At Concordia, we prepare you for the world of high technology, high demands and constant change. Our goal is to ensure you graduate with a breadth of knowledge, and the analytical and communication skills you'll need to be successful... both in your career and in your personal life.
When you invest in a university education, you are expecting the very best education that money can buy and more than that.

At Concordia we are committed to giving you the education that you deserve, and in an environment that is very personal.
Small classes and excellent professors are key to the Concordia learning experience. The courses are demanding, but students who graduate leave with real knowledge, clear thinking skills, and strong communication skills - in other words they are able to acquire here, the ingredients to success!
