Concordia Language Villages
Program · Concordia College · Bemidji, MN
Language immersion villages in 15 languages.
Our take
Immersion done well, and the four-week credit sessions are real. Open enrollment, so it reads as an experience, not an award.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
