Majors & Minors
Nursing is both an art and a science. Our accredited B.A. degree program prepares you for both within a liberal arts curriculum.

Gain real-world experience in numerous healthcare facilities that serve the Fargo-Moorhead and surrounding area. All students complete over 700 hours of clinical experience across the curriculum. Students may also participate in paid internships or additional clinical experiences through area employers. 

There are two accredited nursing tracks at Concordia.

  • The traditional program is for students who are pursuing their first baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing.
  • The accelerated program is for students who have already earned a baccalaureate degree with a non-nursing major. This program begins in July and completes 16 months later in December. 

The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Concordia College is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (http://www.ccneaccreditation.org).

Interdisciplinary Case Study

Concordia students from a variety of healthcare-related disciplines, including nursing, collaborate and problem-solve a “real life” health scenario during one of the six yearly interdisciplinary case studies at Concordia.

Students are split into groups with a mix of different majors and review the health profile of the fictional patient, including all religious, social, and cultural aspects, as well as drug and herb interactions.

Each case study focuses on a different subject, such as coronary heart disease, mental health, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes mellitus, childhood disabilities, and public policy.

Concordia has won numerous accolades for work on the interdisciplinary case studies, including an award for nursing research from Sanford Health Nursing Symposium and a mention in North Dakota Nurse Magazine.

After completing the application process, the Concordia College junior nursing students were appointed in a brief ceremony to their first clinical experience – serving our veterans at the Fargo VA.
