Visit Dordt
Why Visit Campus?
From the energy of walking to class and seeing friendly faces to the feel of worshipping together at our student-led praise and worship. There are some things you just have to experience in person. We encourage all prospective students to visit campus. It's simply the best way to discover if Dordt is the school for you.
Look Around Campus
From comfy dorms to modern classrooms, our historic campus has all the facilities you'd expect of a private university—and more. Check out the video to get a feel or schedule your own virtual visit.
Schedule a VisitSummer Visits
During the summer, we offer weekday visits on Monday and Wednesday afternoons starting at 1 p.m. and Thursday and Friday mornings starting at 9 a.m. Each visit will include a tour of campus, a visit with a professor from your desired major (if available), and a meeting with an admissions counselor.
Due to availability, we are unable to offer meals or overnight stays for summer visits.

Dordt is located in charming Sioux Center, Iowa, located 45 miles from Sioux City, Iowa, and 55 miles from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. During your visit, you will find ample accommodations and things to do. Of course, we hope you spend plenty of time with us on campus, too.

Dialing Up Connections
Julia Stob“It still catches me off guard—in a good way—when professors pray before class or when discussions naturally lead into faith. It’s been amazing to study psychology with a sense of awe at how God made our brains; I don’t think I’d get that same perspective at another school.”
