Why Concordia Continuing Education

CCE's programs prepare students for the world through stimulating course content, active learning and connections to the community. We are committed to fostering student engagement and creating an outstanding student experience. We embrace diversity and strive to honor the individual, academic and professional goals, as well as the social and emotional needs of our students.

CCE's Intensive English Language Program is a pioneer in the teaching of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). For over four decades students have attended our program prior to beginning their academic careers at North American universities. Whether students are looking to enter undergraduate or graduate studies, our program will help them learn English very quickly along with critical skills and strategies to successfully prepare for the challenges of university.

We put our students at the heart of everything we do. We want to ensure that our students have a study abroad experience that is personally and academically enriching. Concordia provides a number of services to ensure students are well supported during their studies with us, such as, Concordia Health Centre, Le Gym, Academic Advisement, Student Success Centre, LIVE Volunteer Centre, Student Mentors, Orientations to New Students and an International Students' Office, among others.
