Off Campus Study

Gordon students are encouraged to take advantage of many opportunities to study at special programs around the country and the world. In addition, many students supplement their Gordon program with courses taken at other institutions during summer or winter breaks, or at local colleges while enrolled at Gordon.

Consortium Visitor Program

Undergraduates with a minimum 2.0 GPA enrolled at one of the Christian College Consortium member institutions may be considered for cross-registration enrollment on another Consortium campus. Enrollment is limited to one term on the campus visited, but additional studies as a special student deferred from Gordon may be possible if approved by the registrars of both institutions. No Gordon aid or scholarships are available for a second semester. Enrollment may be restricted by limitations in institutional enrollments, individual course enrollments or because of prerequisite course requirements. Contact the Registrar's Office. See member institutions of the Christian College Consortium at left.

Council for Christian Colleges and Universities

The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities administers a diverse array of programs in which Gordon College students may participate, including the American Studies, China Studies, Contemporary Music Center, Latin American Studies, Los Angeles Film Studies, Middle East Studies, Russian Studies, Uganda and San Francisco-based Urban Studies programs. For more information visit the Global Education Office or the CCCUl's websites to the right.

NECCUM Cross-Registration

Full-time Gordon students with a 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA may cross-register for up to two daytime courses at any other NECCUM (Northeast Consortium of Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts) institution. Contact Gordon's Registrar's Office. Gordon students must be withdrawn at least two years before being allowed to take courses at Gordon as a NECCUM visitor from another institution. For a list of member institutions see the NECCUM website on the right.

Off-Campus Programs

Students may earn credit by participating in a number of programs conducted away from the Gordon campus, including semester programs offered by Gordon (in Boston, England, France and Italy) or a variety of institutions in many countries. Gordon also offers shorter international seminars during the summer or winter breaks. Contact the Global Education Office (website to the right) or see the Off-Campus Programs information in the Academic Program section of the Gordon College Academic Catalog.

Transfer of Off-Campus or Summer Courses:

Students wishing to transfer academic work to Gordon must obtain advance course approval from their department advisor and the Registrar's Office. Download the Off-Campus Approval Form to the right. Courses must be taken at a regionally accredited institution and be comparable to those offered at Gordon. Transfer credit will only be granted if work is completed with a grade of C minus or above. Documentation of satisfactory completion (C or above) must be provided for any Pass/Fail grade. Grade points are not transferrable, thus a grade point deficit cannot be reduced by taking non-Gordon courses.
