First-Year Experience Courses
FYS 110 Engaged Citizenship Seminar
Engaged Citizenship Seminars are designed to allow students to grapple with what it means to be an engaged citizen and how the Core Curriculum and liberal learning will equip them to become engaged citizens while simultaneously drawing connections between the seminar topic and their understanding of today’s society from a variety of perspectives, including ethical and intellectual concerns. Students will develop critical thinking and analysis skills, practiced through reading, writing, speaking, and research and venture beyond the traditional classroom experience in order to construct meaningful interdisciplinary responses to a topic related to engaged citizenship. In so doing, Engaged Citizenship Seminars help students learn about collegiate expectations and effective ways to approach course work that they can apply to other classes. These seminars also allow students to learn how to apply transferable knowledge and skills to a new learning situation, like joining a new class or disciplinary community, as well as provide students with opportunities to develop a sense of belonging and purpose at Concordia College.
First-time, full-time degree-seeking college students must take FYS 110 during their first semester, unless they enter Concordia with college credit for an equivalent course. Transfer students who enter Concordia with sophomore or higher standing are not required but may opt to take FYS 110.
COM 110 Communicating to Engage
Students will learn to appropriately and effectively communicate in diverse settings. In this course, students will explore their social identities, learn to advocate ethically for themselves and others, and develop their relational and presentational skills in interpersonal, group, intercultural, and public speaking contexts. COM 110 can count toward a Communication Studies major or minor.
All students must take COM 110 unless they enter Concordia with college credit for an equivalent course. Students who enter Concordia with credit for a college public speaking or communication theory/relational communication course that is not equivalent to COM 110 Communicating to Engage have two options to fulfill the COM 110 requirement:
Option 1 is to enroll in COM 110 Communicating to Engage in either the fall or spring semester during the first year.
Option 2 is to enroll in an advanced speaking/performance or communication theory/relational communication course, preferably in the first year. The advanced communication courses will depend on the transfer credit the student has earned and may be taken either in the fall or spring semester, depending on when they are offered.
If a student has earned credit for a public speaking course that did not include communication theory/relational communication content, the student may select a communication theory/relational communication course from the following:
Code | Title | Hours |
---|---|---|
COM 111 | Introduction to Communication Studies | 4 |
COM 312 | Interpersonal Communication | 4 |
COM 314 | Group Communication and Team Building | 4 |
COM 316 | Intercultural Communication | 4 |
If a student has earned credit for a communication theory/relational communication course that did not include public speaking components, the student may select an advanced speaking/performance course from the following:
Code | Title | Hours |

COM 305 | Business and Professional Speaking | 4 |
COM 308 | Communication for Citizenship and Career | 4 |
Transfer students who enter Concordia with junior or higher standing and who have earned credit for a public speaking or communication theory/relational communication course are not required to take COM 110.
Students who have completed an Associates of Arts degree or have completed the MnTC are not required to take COM 110.
ENG 110 Writing to Engage
While developing writing and critical-thinking skills that will benefit students across the curriculum and throughout their lives, this writing course will focus on one of five themes related to engaged citizenship: Empathy, Identity, Community, Environment, or Exploration. Through one of these lenses, students will grapple with complex societal issues while learning to harness the power of reading, research, and writing in order to influence the affairs of the world. ENG 110 can count toward an English Literature or Writing major or minor.
All students must take ENG 110 unless they enter Concordia with college credit for an equivalent course. Students who enter Concordia with credit for a college composition course that is not equivalent to ENG 110 Writing to Engage have two options to fulfill the ENG 110 requirement:
Option 1 is to enroll in ENG 110 Writing to Engage in either the fall or spring semester during the first year.
Option 2 is to enroll in an advanced writing class, preferably in the first year. The advanced writing courses may be taken either in the fall or spring semester, depending on when they are offered.

Religion I
Code | Title | Hours |
---|---|---|
REL 200 | Christianity and Religious Diversity | 4 |
This course should be taken during the student’s first or second year.
Exploration Courses
These courses constitute the heart of the Concordia Core Curriculum. They are designed to provide students with the breadth of knowledge and experience that characterize the well-educated liberal arts student. They are also designed to assure that Concordia students are prepared to be responsibly engaged in the affairs of the world. No one part of the Core Curriculum can accomplish these goals individually, but the whole of the Core can do so. Consequently, students are required to take courses in the four areas of the Core:
- Natural Sciences and Mathematics (8 credits) – one course in natural sciences and one course in mathematics
- Social Sciences (8 credits) – two courses in the social sciences
- World Language (4-8 credits) – one course is required at the second-semester level. All students who have studied a world language on the course list prior to coming to Concordia should take a placement test to determine which course level is the most appropriate. Students testing into a language level beyond the second semester may take a higher-level course to fulfill this requirement.
- Arts and Humanities (8 credits) – one course in the arts and one course in the humanities
No more than one course from a single department or program may be taken to satisfy the Exploration requirement in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Arts and Humanities, and the Social Sciences. One course must be at the 300 level and preferably taken in the junior or senior year. A wide variety of courses are available to students in their pursuit of these requirements.
Religion II
An advanced religion course (300 level) is required in the student’s junior or senior year. No student should enroll in the second religion course without taking REL 200 first. Any exception to this course sequence needs the approval of the religion department prior to registration for the second required religion course. See the Core Curriculum Course List for religion courses that meet the Religion II core requirement. Religion II credit will not be awarded for 300-level courses that are not on the Core Curriculum Course List. No exceptions will be granted.
Perspectives Courses
Perspectives-designated courses are designed to help students understand the global and increasingly interdependent character of the world. The perspectives courses will help them to see that no position is without a perspective and no policy is without an assumptive base. Students are required to take two courses with a Perspectives designation:
- U.S. Cultural Diversity – one course with a (U) designation
- International and Global Perspectives – one course with a (G) designation
- 1
The Core Curriculum Courses identified on this page apply to all students completing a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Students pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree complete a modified Core Curriculum described in the Overview of Degree Requirements. Additional information is available on the Music department page under the heading "Bachelor of Music Programs".
