The Exploration Seminar is a one-week, non-credit, faculty-led program during fall or spring interim embedded in a supporting credit-bearing course that serves the goals and outcomes of global learning at Concordia College. The seminar can take students to several international or domestic learning sites or can foster immersive, community-based learning. Contingent upon the expectations and consent of the leaders, seminar applicants can include students not enrolled in the supporting course. However, to be eligible for an educational loan, students must enroll in the supporting course.

The May Seminar is a four-week, four-credit, faculty-led, disciplinary or interdisciplinary learning program during May that may include one or two weeks of on-campus instruction. The program allows students to take a departmental course that fulfills major/minor or core requirements in an off-campus context of cultural encounter and experiential learning that advances global learning goals and outcomes through practices such as excursions, homestays, and community-based study. Seminar offerings vary in content, academic level, and pedagogy. They may include research, practical application, and comparative inquiry within either travel-study or immersion-excursion formats.

Concordia College's Office of Global Learning offers dozens of credit-bearing, long-term programs in more than 30 locations around the world. Students in these programs receive extensive advising and support as well as guaranteed transfer credit for approved providers.
