Geology, Geography, and Environment

You'll study with professors who bring years of experience and research opportunities, and a distinctly Christian viewpoint to the classroom. Get ready to dive in to an active scientific community.

At Calvin, you'll serve God and one another through creation care in the classroom, the lab, the field, and across the globe. You'll marvel at God’s creation through everyday encounters with God’s incredible world. And you'll graduate ready to lead in fields as diverse as community planning, conservation science, and land management.
