The mission of Concord University is to provide quality, career-focused liberal arts education, to foster scholarly activities, and to serve the regional community. Concord University provides rigorous programs, primarily at the baccalaureate level, which prepare students to pursue various graduate study and career options and to assume leadership and professional roles in a multicultural society. In keeping with its tradition of service to the region, the University offers a limited number of carefully selected graduate degrees. Its low cost of attendance, small size, low student to faculty ratios, high quality curriculum, caring and dedicated faculty, staff and administration make Concord University a high value educational institution. In many respects, Concord University provides the quality and personalized experience associated with private liberal arts schools, but at a public university price.
