- To provide students with the structure to create a unified program to fit their needs and career goals
- To advise students in devising a 124-credit sequence that creates a unified program to fit goals and needs
- To make sure programs are approved by the registrar, who will periodically review students' progress toward their goals

### Strengths

- Students take courses from Dordt's Core Program, a major consisting of at least 45 credits, and electives -- all carefully selected to fit with students' desired area of study
- Students will gain a strong understanding of Dordt's reformed, Christian perspective
