Concordia College- Moorhead

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota is a private, four year liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). It is famous for its Concordia Language Villages in Bemidji, Minnesota.

History

Concordia College was dedicated Oct. 31, 1891, by some of the first Norwegian settlers to the Red River Valley region of the U.S. (North Dakota and Minnesota). Twenty-one students graduated June 7, 1893, during the college's first Commencement. A complete liberal arts college was then formally organized in 1913. From the beginning Concordia has been closely allied with the Lutheran Church. Today, it is one of 28 college and universities associated with the ELCA. Concordia College states its mission as "to influence the world by sending into society thoughtful and informed men and women dedicated to the Christian life." There is a sculpture by the regionally distinctive sculptor Paul Granlund in the library.

Academics

There are 24 departments including 78 majors. Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music degrees are offered. There are also 12 preprofessional programs (including medicine, law, engineering, and dentistry).

Concordia is ranked among the top 10 U.S. liberal arts colleges for the number of students who gain global experience abroad. Concordia students study abroad at a rate 25 times the national average. According to the school's website: Concordia graduates get into medical school at twice the national average. Also, over 93 percent of Concordia graduates applying to law school are accepted. And, more than 95 percent of surveyed Concordia graduates have jobs in their fields or have been admitted to graduate school within six months of graduation.

More Concordia graduates become ordained Lutheran clergy than from any other U.S. college.

In addition to the degrees offered, Concordia is home to a number of student-run organizations. These include The Concordian, the campus newspaper, Concordia On Air, the campus television show and KORD Radio, the campus radio station. Alongside these campus-wide organizations, there are multiple niche groups. If there is not currently a group for a certain interest, it is relatively easy to form one and join the student community.
