Degree Overview

Create and shape the chemical reactions that make modern life possible.

As one of the few Christian universities to offer an accredited chemical engineering concentration, Calvin offers something truly distinctive. Here, you'll thrive in small project-based courses. You'll find research opportunities you'd normally find at a much bigger school—with the supportive community you can only find at a smaller one.

You'll learn from expert chemistry and engineering faculty who are also committed Christians. They'll know you by name and champion you in your studies. They'll use their experience to connect you to internships that set you on course for a world-changing career.

You'll graduate with everything you need to succeed and something more: a Christian vision for the better world you're going to create.
