Concordia University was founded in 1974 as the first bilingual university in Canada. It was established as a merger between two formerly separate universities: Loyola College and Sir George Williams University. Since its founding, Concordia has grown to become one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities, with over 45,000 students enrolled in more than 500 programs across two campuses. In addition to providing quality education and research opportunities, Concordia is committed to community engagement and outreach activities. The university has a long history of working with local schools, businesses and government organizations to foster a supportive environment for students and faculty alike. Through its various initiatives such as the Centre for Community Engaged Learning and Service Learning projects, Concordia strives to build meaningful connections with Montreal’s diverse communities. In recent years, the university has further expanded its reach by establishing satellite campuses in other cities such as Beijing and New York City. These international campuses serve both local students looking for an immersive learning experience abroad as well as international students looking to study at a world-class institution closer to home.
