Dordt College

When he was a senior in high school, Nathan Walter decided that he did not want to attend a Christian college. As far as he could tell, many Christian colleges used the label “Christian” but deserted their biblical foundation. However, after coming across Dordt College, Nathan realized it did not fit into that category. Based on his experience, Nathan says, “Dordt continually encourages every student to develop the gifts God has given them and prepares those students to go out into the world and use those gifts for God’s glory.”

As an avid filmmaker, musician, and scholar, Nathan is able to pursue all of his interests at Dordt with professors who do more than teach students how to use a camera or set up a shot.

Dordt College has a proven reputation for academic excellence. It is consistently named to best college lists by U.S. News & World Report, Forbes.com, The Princeton Review, and Washington Monthly. Money magazine recently named Dordt to its list of “Best Colleges for Your Money,” placing Dordt in the top 7% of the nation’s 4,700 colleges and universities.

A Dordt education prepares you for a job and for all aspects of life. Students get experience through internships, on-campus research projects, and student employment within their areas of interest.

Dordt College students have earned stellar engineering and nursing pass rates on professional licensing exams, exceeding national averages and, on the engineering test, surpassing results from some of the nation’s most prestigious engineering schools. Additionally, 90% of our medical students are accepted into medical school after graduating, compared to 30% nationally.

Why is this possible? Because the classes are challenging, and students receive personal attention from professors who really get to know them. Dordt’s 14:1 student-faculty ratio allows for the kind of relationships that can be paramount for students when they are looking for internships and job opportunities.

Even in today’s challenging economic climate, 98% of Dordt students have found employment or gone on to graduate schools within six months of graduating.

What distinguishes Dordt’s academic program? Every subject is examined within the illuminating light of God’s Word. This organic integration of faith and academics provides students with insights that equip them to think critically and judge wisely for the rest of their lives.
