Concordia University is a Christian University preparing leaders for the transformation of society.
Concordia University is a comprehensive public university located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is one of three universities in the province of Quebec that teach primarily in the English language. Concordia is ranked by Graduateshotline as one of the top engineering schools in Canada, and in 2007, was ranked among the top 400 universities internationally by the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES).
The university traces its academic roots as far back as the late 19th century through two separate schools, the Jesuit-run Loyola College and the YMCA-based Sir George Williams University. Concordia University was created in 1974 upon the merger of these two institutions. The name of the university is derived from Concordia Salus, the motto of the City of Montreal. The motto means Well-being through harmony.
In 1851, the first YMCA in North America was established on De Maisonneuve Boulevard in downtown Montreal. From its early years, it offered evening classes to allow working people in the English-speaking community to pursue their education while working during the day. Concordia has continued this tradition by offering many night classes during the traditional fall and winter semesters, as well as the summer sessions. In 1926, the education program was organized as Sir George Williams College, named after George Williams, founder of the YMCA. It received a university charter from the provincial government in 1948. The first SGWU building, the Norris Building, was built in 1956, although the university continued to hold classes in the YMCA building until the construction of the Hall Building in 1966. The university gained international attention in 1969, when a group of students occupied the Hall Building's 9th floor computer lab (see Sir George Williams Computer Riot).
