Priyanthi has a special affinity towards Concordia college because “Concordia was where it all started” – her work as a student recruiter.

Concordia College was set up in 1891 in Minnesota, USA, by the first Norwegian settlers to the area. Since its inception, Concordia has been closely connected with the Lutheran church. The school has the distinction of being ranked amongst the top ten Liberal Arts colleges in terms of the number of students who gain global experience outside the United States.

This private Liberal Arts four year college awards Bachelor of Arts degrees and offers over seventy majors in twenty-four departments. Students can also complete twelve pre-professional programs including Medicine, Engineering, Dentistry and Law. The faculty body currently has two hundred and twenty members.

These two institutions are the latest and proud additions to Priyanthi Dissanayake’s portfolio of colleges and universities.

The College of Saint Benedict (for females) and Saint John’s University (for males) are both Liberal Arts Colleges located respectively in St. Joseph and Collegeville, Minnesota, USA.  A unique factor with both institutions is that students attend classes and other activities together, as one group and also share the resources of both schools.

Although both campuses are located seven miles apart and situated in a rural setting on three thousand plus acres of beautiful forests and lakes, both share a single academic program. A combined total of approximately four thousand students are offered in excess of two hundred undergraduate courses of study.

SJU was established in 1857 as a private Roman Catholic college and has a current enrollment of approximately two thousand students and a full time faculty nearing three hundred.
