Global Engagement at Concordia

Concordia College’s global impact stretches far beyond its outstanding study abroad program. World responsibility runs through two global majors, nine languages, an on-campus international community and more.

Concordia students also know that they don’t have to live in a different country (although many do!) to impact the world. Making a difference locally is just as important. Interact with the map above to see how some of our recent grads are becoming responsibly engaged with the world.
