Want to create solutions with a global reach? First, you’ll need to travel the globe. Calvin’s international designation will have you doing just that.

At Calvin, you’ll see how engineering solves problems for people across the world. You might study abroad at the Technical University of Berlin, collaborate with NGOs to deliver life-saving clean water to rural parts of Ecuador, or help restore ancient reservoirs for the use of refugees in Jordan. Your engineering skills take on a whole new level of purpose and potential when you use them in different environments and cultural contexts.

You'll also graduate with one of the biggest differentiators in today’s job market: international experience. Employers want engineers who can reach across boundaries and work effectively with all kinds of people in all kinds of places. With an international designation on your Calvin engineering degree, that will be you.

Actuaries construct and interpret mathematical models to evaluate the likelihood of possible future events. They also design ways to reduce the negative consequences of the possible outcomes of these events. A majority of actuaries work in the insurance industry, but actuaries can be found in any industry that requires careful planning for the future, especially in the presence of risk. 

Join a challenging, distinguished program that gives you both breadth and depth in computer science.

In intense classes, you’ll explore areas like software engineering, computer architecture, digital security, and 2D and 3D design. You’ll learn from—and do research alongside—professors with industry experience in fields like artificial intelligence and supercomputing.

Study the chemical reactions that make life happen. Explore chemical systems of incredible beauty and complexity. Confront real-world challenges like disease and environmental change.

A biochemistry degree is the gateway to careers in research, medicine, and industry. You’ll gain the skills to be a problem solver as an analytical chemist, biomedical scientist, or chemical engineer.

Let’s say you want to be a doctor—or maybe a scientific researcher. What kinds of experiences do you want to have as an undergrad? How do you imagine those important four years unfolding?

Here’s what your bachelor of science degree will look like at Calvin: standing at a lab table beside experienced PhDs, researching topics like HIV, multiple sclerosis, and rare diseases.

You've just planned, designed, and built a new app... and it works. You break into a relieved smile—there’s nothing more satisfying than this: identifying a problem, creating a solution, and seeing the results.

Perhaps your program uses mathematical algorithms to process data faster. Maybe it improves business management or tracks the wellness of a patient in physical therapy. Whatever you create, we’ll equip you with the skills to solve complex problems and design software solutions. And you’ll apply your in-depth understanding of computation to another field of your choice.

Are you awed by the vibrant life, color, and beauty of the earth? Do you see the hand of God in his creation, and do you have a deep desire to care for it? We do, too.
