Four Years. For Real.

Get started in your career or graduate school earlier than peers attending other colleges and universities.

Choosing a college is a big decision.

Incoming freshmen at Concordia College have the advantage of Concordia's four-year graduation guarantee, where every incoming first-year student is put on the right track to get their degree in four years. This guarantee minimizes your college expenses, all while providing support for you to stay on track academically and start pursuing your long-term education and career goals sooner.

By following the graduation guarantee guidelines, you will be supported to complete the necessary coursework to graduate with a Concordia degree on time. Under this agreement, if students follow the graduation guarantee guidelines but do not finish within four years, Concordia will provide course substitutions and/or pick up the cost of tuition for additional coursework.
