Dordt College

Associated with the Christian Reformed Church, Dordt College was founded in 1955 and today welcomes all students who are interested in a biblical, Christ-centered education.

Dordt College takes its name from the historic Synod of Dordrecht, held in the Netherlands in 1618-1619. The Canons of Dort, one of the three major confessional statements of Reformed churches, came from that synod. The Canons of Dort were a response to statements made by the followers of Jacob Arminius, and emphasized the sovereignty of God through his electing grace.

Dordt College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as a four-year bachelor-degree-granting institution. Our accreditation dates from 1971 with the most recent renewal in 2001. In 1994 the college also gained approval from NCA to offer a graduate program leading to the Master of Education degree. Dordt College also has accredited programs in education, social work, and engineering.

A member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC), Dordt College fields intercollegiate teams in men’s baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, indoor track, and outdoor track; and in women’s basketball, cross country, soccer, golf, softball, indoor track, and volleyball. A variety of intramural sports are offered as well.

Recommended preparation includes: English, 4 years; foreign language, 2 years; social science, 2 years; natural science, 2 years; mathematics, 3 years (including algebra and geometry).
