Gordon invests millions of dollars in scholarships and financial aid to ensure an affordable Gordon experience.

Our 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio means your professors will know you. They are accomplished in their field but also invested in their students and may invite you into their research, connect you with internships and be lifelong mentors.

Gordon is committed to students’ well-being through resources like the Chapel Office, the Center for Student Counseling and Wellness and the Academic Success Center.

Gordon Honors offers four-year scholarship programs and a host of additional honors opportunities for students interested in unparalleled intellectual, personal and spiritual growth.

We see the outdoors as one of the most important classroom settings. Gordon’s La Vida Center for Outdoor Education and Leadership has been a pioneer in its field and offers countless opportunities for character formation in an adventure setting.

The Multicultural Initiatives Office partners with the larger Gordon community to provide academic, emotional and spiritual support to students of color through programs, events, community-building activities and mentoring.

A significant portion of Gordon’s student body completes an off-campus student program at some point in their college experience. Gordon’s signature programs are offered in Orvieto, Italy, and the Balkans.
