Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS)

Undergraduate Program On Campus

What You'll Learn

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.

On top of that, our BCS degree is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET. It’s a distinction we share with a small number of significant programs around the country, such as MIT and the University of Michigan.

The result? Calvin BCS students go on to succeed at these and other graduate schools. They work for major technology firms internationally and locally, such as Google, Microsoft, Steelcase, Spectrum Health, and other business enterprises. And so can you.

What Makes This Program Great

  • A Christian mindset: Your professors are committed Christians who are passionate about making technology not just powerful, but also just. You’ll join that pursuit in local outreach programs and even study-abroad opportunities, where you’ll see firsthand how technology can improve lives.
  • The right skills: Gaining an edge in graduate school and your career requires that you be a good communicator on top of your mastery of programming and technical skills. Calvin’s BCS makes sure you pick up those critical “soft” skills.
  • Abundant resources: You’ll work with facilities and equipment normally found at big research school. That includes four class labs and three research facilities, including a Beowolf-class supercomputing lab that you might even use for your own research.
