Graduate Cohort Programs

On behalf of everyone serving cohort students, we hope that your academic program at Concordia will be a time of discovery, insight, and creativity as you learn and interact with your instructors and classmates.

The mission of the Graduate Office is to provide the highest level of quality service possible to all students throughout their experience with Concordia. We encourage you to let us know how we can be more helpful to you.

We know you are a busy professional. Your time is precious. To assist you with your interactions with the University, you will be assigned a Graduate Program Specialist whose role it is to assist you individually, and your cohort group throughout the program. Each advisor is available by phone and e-mail to be your one-stop source for information and follow-up. Our advisors will meet with cohort groups, in person, once during each term.
