Concordia named a top 5 college in Minnesota; highest ranked in region

Concordia College has been named one of the top five colleges in Minnesota in a new ranking from the personal finance website WalletHub, which compared institutions on 30 key measures of academic quality, cost, campus experience, and student outcomes. 

Based on WalletHub’s Best Colleges and Universities data, Concordia is also the highest-ranked institution within a 200-mile radius of the Fargo-Moorhead area.

“We are honored by this recognition,” said President Colin Irvine. “It reflects what our students experience every day, a top-tier education grounded in values with a global perspective, supported by dedicated faculty, and focused on preparing graduates for meaningful lives and careers.”

Irvine noted that Concordia continues to build on its strong foundation. With more than 35 new or enhanced programs helping drive strong enrollment growth the last two years, “momentum” has become Concordia’s mantra.

“As we look ahead, that momentum will continue to guide us, inspiring new ways to prepare our students for the world’s most pressing challenges,” Irvine said.
