Concordia University has been in existence since 1974, but its two founding institutions Loyola College  (1896) and Sir George Williams University  (1926) have a considerably longer history.

Academic Growth

The new university started with five Faculties: a merged Faculty of Commerce (now the John Molson School of Business), a merged Faculty of Engineering (now the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science), a Sir George Williams Faculty of Arts, a SGW Faculty of Science, and a Loyola Faculty of Arts and Science.

It was understood that the Arts and Science operations would eventually be brought together. The first phase of the centralization of Arts and Science took place in 1977, and the present Faculty of Arts and Science, under a single dean, was formed in 1985. The Faculty of Fine Arts was created in 1976.

Concordia’s five colleges in the Faculty of Arts and Science (Liberal Arts College, Loyola International College, School of Community and Public Affairs, Science College, and Simone de Beauvoir Institute) were founded to give students a unique interdisciplinary experience.

The popular Institute for Co-operative Education, which arranges work terms for students in certain disciplines, was established in 1980.
