Sports facilities

Esports is competitive, organized video gaming that attracts players and spectators from around the world.  Concord was the first public college or university in West Virginia to offer varsity esports to its students.  “Not only will starting a varsity esports team allow more students to compete on the collegiate level, the university hopes to use this as a springboard for future courses,” President Boggess says.   Only seven colleges and universities had varsity esports programs in July of 2016. By 2018, there were 63 institutions.

Student Reviews

I love me
Abdelvetah Hamidou rated 3 out of 5 stars

It is a good university and we have helpful teachers some of them from abroad. But the problem is that the Master degree is not provided there

Average Review
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

Pursuing a college degree was the best thing I did in my life. I learned so much throughout the years and not only in an educational matter. I also learned many life lessons as I met new people, dealt with multiple teachers, and worked my way through all those years.

The Outsider
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

My experience at Concordia University was quite different from my previous years in school. The small private university was very inclusive in certain aspects, but as a commuter, it was more difficult to adapt to the campus environment.
