NEW YORK, NY –For the fifth consecutive year, Concordia College has been honored as a College of Distinction for the 2015-2016 school year. The College of Distinction designation is given to select schools to honor their excellence in undergraduate-focused higher education. Concordia was found to excel in all Four Distinctions and will be featured on the Colleges of Distinction website. The Four Distinctions are engaged students, great teaching, vibrant community, and successful outcomes
High school counselors and educators nominate colleges and universities and each institution is evaluated on key indicators including student engagement, student empowerment, and curricular innovation. The annual selection process also includes a review of each institution’s freshman experience, as well as its general education program, strategic plan, and alumni success and satisfaction measures.
Concordia was also named as a 2015-2016 Christian College of Distinction, the only New York institution recognized with this honor.
“Concordia College has taken pride in its missional calling to transform lives for service to Church and Society for the past 135 years,” said Dr. Viji George, President of Concordia. “We are pleased beyond measure to see that our efforts are being recognized by others. Such recognition spurs us to continue to do what we do so well.”
