ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

In the past ten years, Dordt has expanded our academic offerings to include online studies, graduate programs, and professional-technical associate degrees. We have elevated research opportunities for faculty and students; agencies such as the National Science Foundation have awarded our faculty more than $6.5 million in external grants. By becoming Dordt University, we signal that we offer the breadth and quality of academic programs that you expect to find at a university.

With plans to add a master of public administration program in 2019, Dordt continues to develop graduate programs. When potential graduate students search for universities, they look for “university,” not “college.” As Dordt University, our graduate programs will be more welcoming and accessible for students as they search.

MISSION FIT

Since 1955, Dordt has continued to add and deepen academic and co-curricular programs that, as our mission says, “equip students, alumni, and the broader community to work effectively toward Christ-centered renewal in all aspects of contemporary life.” Dordt now looks and acts more like a university than a college; we prioritize excellence in teaching, robust scholarship, and a greater variety of opportunities for students and faculty to collaborate. As a university, Dordt will remain committed to the mission and to the Reformed Christian perspective while courageously following God’s leading.
