Chemical Engineering (BSE)

Undergraduate Program On Campus

What You'll Learn

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.

What Makes This Program Great

  • Graduate in four years with real-world experience: Internship experience is critical for engineers. Here, you can do an internship and still graduate with an accredited engineering degree in four years—setting Calvin apart.
  • The best of two worlds: As a chemical engineer, you’ll benefit from a top-notch engineering program. And you’ll also learn from expert Christian faculty in the chemistry and biochemistry department.
  • Enhance your degree: Employers want engineers who build sustainability and conservation into their designs. Adding an optional sustainability designation to your chemical engineering degree is a great way to stand out in the job market.
  • Study abroad: Spend a summer in Germany! You'll stay at the Technical University of Berlin campus, add valuable international experience to your résumé, and still graduate in four years!

Study engineering in Germany

Study engineering while you learn some German language and culture at the Technische Universität Berlin. This six-week off-campus program is a highlight of the Calvin's engineering program.
