PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Concordia University adopted the motto of the city of Montreal, Concordia Salus, which speaks to well-being through harmony. Each year, a small group of CSU students, who are interested in studying French, participate in an exchange program with this university. CSU IP does not have staff on-site at Concordia University; therefore, students participating in this program are required to be independent, mature and flexible. Staff members at Concordia are available to assist CSU students with administrative issues, however there is a high level of autonomy expected of the students. Concordia University offers a wide variety of academic subjects. Some courses are not available to international exchange students, therefore prospective students should carefully review the list of restricted courses (e.g. Communication Studies and Journalism, Engineering and Computer Science, and Business). CSU students attending Concordia are required to take at least one French language course each semester, in addition to the courses in their major field.
To access information on Concordia’s course offering and descriptions, please view the Course Catalog and Undergraduate Program Calendar. Please note that a number of courses at Concordia are restricted to exchange students. To view the 2017-18 Restricted Course List, click here.

LOCATION
Montreal is the largest city in the largest and oldest Canadian province of Quebec. Concordia University is an urban university with two campuses set 4 miles apart. The Sir George Williams (SGW) campus is located in the heart of downtown in the area known as Quartier Concordia. The Loyola campus is in the residential west-end district of Notre-Dame-de-Grace. The university has a student population of more than 36,000 students.
HOUSING
Students can apply for on-campus residence halls or live in off-campus apartments. Upon acceptance, Concordia will send students information regarding their on-campus housing options. If students do not choose to reserve a room in the residence halls, they can secure their own off-campus accommodations in a shared room or an apartment. Some students choose to arrive several days before the program begins in order to secure off-campus housing; students are responsible for any temporary housing needed while in search of permanent housing.
