Degree Overview
As a digital communication major, you've signed up for one of the most unique programs on campus. You'll learn from some of Calvin's most sought-after departments—and you'll bring all your learning together to create something new.
You'll take computer courses that go way beyond the surface; be challenged and inspired to launch the mobile app you coded or design a website that you’re proud of.
You'll also learn from experienced art faculty who are as comfortable with Adobe Illustrator as they are with a paintbrush. You'll discover how timeless approaches to art can find new life in the digital world.
And you'll take courses that break storytelling down to its most basic parts. You'll learn every nuance of how people and organizations interact in an always-online world.
You'll take those three powerful ingredients and mix them into something that's unique to you. Whether your passion lies with graphic design, data analysis, social media, or something else, you'll chart a course to your goals with the help of expert Christian professors.
