Walking Boldly

Fri, May 22, 2015

At Calvin College, students explore and innovate, think critically and investigate deeply. Calvin’s multi-faceted curriculum provides students with a liberal arts platform that is a springboard to consistent post-graduate success.

The success of Calvin graduates goes beyond job titles, salaries, graduate degrees and employers as they pursue God's call on their lives. Still, the results are clear: Calvin grads get good jobs at places like Google, Pixar, National Geographic and Boeing, earn higher mid-career salaries than grads from other private colleges in Michigan* and attend some of the best graduate schools in the country. (The results from the Class of 2014 are shown below.) This summer, join us as we follow grads from the Class of 2015 as they continue their journeys around the corner and across the globe.
