The Dordt Difference Some colleges fit students into their programs. At Dordt College, we don’t believe in the one-size-fits-all approach to education. We’re flexible enough to help you custom-design a program of study to fit your needs. If you find that none of our programs are perfect for you, a tailor-made “individual studies major” may be exactly what you’re looking for. Our individual studies major allows you to combine courses from multiple majors in ways that suit your career goals. It also allows you to develop an interdisciplinary program of study around a broader area of interest. Together, you and your advisor will devise a 124-credit sequence that creates a unified program to fit your interests and your career goals. This will include the courses that make up Dordt’s Core Program, a major consisting of at least 45 credits, and electives—all carefully selected to fit with your desired area of study. Your proposal must be approved by the registrar, who will also periodically review your progress toward your goal.
A TWO-YEAR OPTION Dordt also offers a two-year associate of arts degree with a concentration in general studies. In addition to taking core requirements and electives, you will take seven courses that have been designed in consultuation with and approved by the registrar to meet your specific educational goals.
“The two-year general studies degree allows students to tailor their education to meet their personal needs and interests. This type of degree is a great option for students who want a well-rounded Christian college education, but aren’t interested in a four-year degree. Students take the core courses and choose from electives that will allow them to pursue their individual career goals.” Howard Wilson Vice President for Enrollment
