Academic Rigor

Pioneers and innovators, and leaders of the next generation. Our tradition of excellence starts with our academic rigor, which will challenge you to think critically and to consider new global perspectives. From introductory courses to multidisciplinary summer intensives,  Gordon University courses and programs can help you reach your academic and professional goals.

With over 75 majors in 5 faculties, academics are a strong incentive to commit to Gordon University.

Our Methodology

We encourage students to understand the material and not merely memorize it. Rote learning is still important and often a pre-requisite before one can understand the WHY. Learning doesn’t stop after memorising it. It then needs to be applied to the real world.

After rote learning, the steps taken at Gordon University are to employ a variety of active learning techniques including:

  • cooperative learning
  • problem-based learning
  • team-based learning and
  • case-based learning

Only then can we lay claim to a high academic rigor.
