What You'll Learn
Anyone wanting to discover a fascinating, modern European culture will enjoy studying Netherlandic history, culture, and language. Go to the Netherlands as part of an off-campus program, or experience Dutch traditions right on campus—like our Sinterklaas and Koningsdag (King’s Day) parties, Dutch films, and Dutch chapel. And because Calvin is located in a historically Dutch-American region, you'll find plenty of connections to Dutch community, history, and culture.
A Netherlandic studies minor complements any major, because Netherlandic culture richly touches so many areas. Whether you plan a career in history, finance, engineering and water management, art history, literature, religion, immigration, or nearly anything else, your knowledge of Netherlandic language and culture will boost your opportunities.
