Waldorf College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waldorf College is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, located in Forest City, Iowa. Among other benefactors, Waldorf has been the recipient of many large donations from the John K. Hanson family, founders of recreation vehicle-maker Winnebago Industries, also located in Forest City.
Rooted in the Norwegian Lutheran tradition, Pastor C. S. Salveson founded Waldorf in 1903. Waldorf existed as a junior college for most of its history, but expanded to offer accelerated bachelors degree programs in select programs in the 1990s. By 2003, the college switched its emphasis to a four year baccalaureate curriculum, including its athletic programs, which moved from junior college to NAIA competition status.
A new library was dedicated in 2005. The college is also home of a vibrant music program, whose Waldorf Choir is recognized as one of the oldest a cappella choirs in the United States.
