Concordia is a next-generation university, continually reimagining the future of higher education. Established in 1974, Concordia is located in vibrant and multicultural Montreal, North America’s favourite student city. It is the top-ranked university in Canada founded within the last 50 years and among the most innovative in its approach to experiential learning and cross-functional research.

Concordia’s strategic directions set out a vision for the future and exemplify a daring and transformative outlook to some of the most important issues of our time.

The university annually registers 51,250 diverse and engaged students in its Faculty of Arts and Science, John Molson School of Business, Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science and Faculty of Fine Arts and in Concordia Continuing Education. It employs more than 6,700 faculty and staff and annually secures nearly $61.9 million in sponsored research income.

The university’s student body includes over 37,250 undergraduate students and 9,500 graduate students in 129 grad programs, nearly 10,000 international students from some 150 countries and 3,000-plus co-op students. Concordia maintains formal ties with 181 institutions in 39 countries.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR CONCORDIA: NEXT-GEN. NOW.

Concordia is leading its most ambitious fundraising effort ever (concordia.ca/campaign). The campaign supports nine strategic directions that advance Concordia’s role as Canada’s next-generation university (concordia.ca/directions). With co-chairs Gina Cody, MEng 81, PhD 89, Andrew Molson and Lino A. Saputo, BA 89, volunteer leaders across Canada, the United States and Asia are helping to drive this major initiative. The Campaign for Concordia will culminate in 2024-25, the year of Concordia’s 50th anniversary.
