Dordt University Is One Of The Best In The Midwest, Says U.S. News & World Report

Sioux Center, Iowa — Dordt University in Sioux Center is ranked sixth among regional Midwest universities, according to U.S. News & World Report‘s 2025 Best Colleges.

The university is also considered one of the best when it comes to value, undergraduate teaching, and undergraduate engineering.

This is the third year in a row that Dordt University has moved up in the “Regional Universities (Midwest)” ranking; in the 2024 rankings, Dordt was listed at number eight. It is also Dordt’s third year in the “Regional Universities (Midwest)” ranking, having previously been listed as part of “Regional Colleges (Midwest).”

Dordt University is ranked:

— no. 6 among Midwest regional universities (up two spots from last year)

— no. 7 in Best Value Schools, compared to other Midwest regional universities

— no. 2 in Best Undergraduate Teaching Programs, among Midwest regional universities

— tied at no. 62 for Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs (No Doctorate)

Being in the top 10 of this prestigious group is an encouragement, says Dordt University President Dr. Erik Hoekstra. He says, “I want to attribute the quality that U.S. News & World Report has recognized to three groups: our faculty and staff who do such a great job equipping our students; our students for their diligent work to ready themselves for lives of service to Christ once they leave Dordt; and to our 22,000+ alumni who are currently serving with distinction as Christ’s ambassadors throughout the world.”
