- Practical learning: 90% of Calvin students have an internship experience before they graduate. As you pursue your political science major, you might intern at a government office, courtoom, law firm, advocacy group, or NGO.
- Expert teaching: You'll learn from faculty who have expert knowledge in their fields, and you'll have opportunity to engage closely with your professors and peers.
- Learn abroad: With several faculty-led study abroad programs, you'll have plenty of opportunities to study off-campus in places like Washington D.C., Ghana, and Hungary.
