About the university

Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) opened in 1921 as Concordia College and is now an independent university in Edmonton's Highlands neighbourhood. It was once faith-based but says it no longer is. It offers four-year bachelor's degrees in arts, science and management, after-degrees, and master's programmes, with small classes averaging 30 students in first year.

Indian students mostly look at CUE's information security master's programmes (MISSM and MISAM), its MSc in Information Technology with a mandatory internship, and the Bachelor of Management with emphases such as data management, cybersecurity and accounting and paid 13-week internships. International year-1 costs are about CAD 28,400 for undergraduates and CAD 27,200 to 43,300 for master's programmes in 2026-27.
