Post-Traditional - Intermediate Core
The Intermediate Core Curriculum
The Concordia Core is divided into two parts: the Concordia Common Core (9 credits) and the Liberal Arts Dimensions (29 credits). The Concordia Common Core is comprised of three classes, each unique to Concordia, that cannot be transferred in; these classes would be required of all students, regardless of major. Two of the classes center on the core theme of Faith; the other classes each address two core themes. The intent is to build a sense of community, to instill a sense of what it means to be a Concordian, to provide an opportunity to present important subject matter from our distinctly Lutheran perspective. This will provide a framework, a commonality, to the intellectual life of the student.
