Concordia University of Edmonton
About
We are a university with a strong sense of community and a big heart. We are highly regarded in Canada for excellence in teaching, in our services for students, and in our unique niche programs. Concordia University of Edmonton ensures that the needs of every student are addressed, and with an average class size of 30 students we have the ability to offer students a more personal learning experience.
In the ordinary university, belonging is not a certainty.
As students transition from cavernous theatres to massive halls, they seek what they’ve been promised by post-secondary institutions all their lives. Close and supportive friends. Faculty mentors and allies for life. Extraordinary growth and profound experiences.
Perhaps students find what they yearn for there. Perhaps not.
Here, at Concordia University of Edmonton, we rally around that central promise in everything we do and all that we build. We say to students: if you join us, you will belong.
For more than a century, it has felt this way here.
Today, if students arrive on campus with doubt or hesitation, someone at CUE will notice them and offer help. That someone will likely cheer them years later at convocation. Here, connections endure.
In our classrooms, CUE is a university of action and passion, small enough that every student is essential but large enough to make real differences when we tackle global challenges. We are a students’ university. Students can sit in the back. But at CUE, when they’re ready, someone will invite them to the front.
Because of our size, our closeness and connection, we blend and mix in surprising – sometimes delightful – ways. If we’re scientists, we can follow our curiosity into drama. A business student can graduate with a foundation in history, philosophy, and Indigenous knowledge.
We can test our ideas with people from every department and course of study, from around the world. We can change directions and find our path. We can be our best selves.
At CUE, the centre for innovation may focus on the very latest in artificial intelligence, while our Education faculty braids into contemporary curriculum millennia of Indigenous ways of knowing and sharing. In the Tegler Centre, CUE’s president might sit down with students, buy them coffee, and ask why they chose this school and how we can all make it safer, more diverse, more accessible and memorable and fun.
Our ultimate goal has not changed since 1921: to be more than students and professors, to create a community of active citizens, to inspire good and honourable people who have found a university where they belong.
