Embracing the mission
Concordia's student learning outcomes reflect the knowledge, skills, attitudes, competencies, and habits of mind that our students are expected to acquire. These outcomes highlight student learning at three levels: the overall university level, the department/major level; the core curriculum program level.
Concordia's student learning outcomes flow from our mission of helping students develop in mind, body and spirit in service to Christ in the Church and in the World.
University Learning Outcomes
University graduates are well developed in mind, body, and spirit, fulfill their vocations, and serve Christ in the Church and the world.
Christian Faith
Our graduates are grounded in the Christian faith while also recognizing other major worldviews and how they differ from a Christian understanding of the world.
