At Gordon, academics build a career.
Some days your classroom might be an internship in downtown Boston or the Biotech Corridor, a research project in the Great Marsh in nearby Essex, art-making in an ancient convent in the Italian countryside or working with a human rights organization in Zagreb, Croatia. Confidence and skills are built through challenge, so a lot of learning at Gordon happens by doing. Whether you’re looking for a health science degree or a music performance degree, Gordon has the academic resources and nurturing community to empower your passion and prepare you for a life of purpose and service.

“The most meaningful course I have taken in the past year has been Christian Formation and Culture . . . I enjoyed learning about the traditions of Christian community and the development of Christianity, which has informed my faith and given me language to speak to where people come from in their traditions.”
