Gordon +

Get a head start on your graduate degree. Save time and money, and launch your career faster. Gordon Plus provides an opportunity for juniors and seniors to add graduate-level courses to their undergraduate schedules.

Christian Community that Builds Character

Faith is what sets you apart from thousands of your peers, and it’s what sets Gordon apart from thousands of other institutions. You’ll experience full integration of faith into all aspects of the college experience— from the residence hall to the dining hall, the classroom to the locker room, and everything in between. President Mike Hammond’s prayer is that every student who comes through Gordon’s doors leaves with a stronger faith in Jesus Christ—are you ready to grow?

65 ministry and missions groups

40+ Christian faith traditions

At Gordon College we are committed to shalom—a right ordering of relationships and actions resulting in the affirmation of human dignity and the flourishing of community.

Experiences that Build Confidence

The more you pour into your college experience, the more you’ll gain from it. If you’re a do-er, run for student government, start your own business or advocate for a cause you care about. If you’re a social butterfly, jump in on traditions like the Golden Goose and Gordon Globes. And if the outdoors calls your name, join the Rowing Team, become a beekeeper or lead expeditions through La Vida.
