Is your dream to build the roads, buildings, and infrastructure that keep the world running? Do you want to make everyday life more accessible, more sustainable, more just? Then you’ll need lots of real-world experience and an engineering program that dreams as boldly as you do.

You’ll find both at Calvin University.

Here, you’ll get hands-on experience solving problems that truly matter like creating clean water systems and designing energy-saving machines. And you’ll do it alongside committed Christian faculty who will connect you to internships and opportunities all over the country—and even internationally.

It goes without saying that you’ll graduate with all the practical experience and versatile skills you need to land your dream job. And because you’ll be a Calvin engineer, you won’t just thrive in your career—you’ll lead the way in your field as you build a better, more sustainable world.

Pursue a discipline that connects to an incredible number of careers and applications. Learn the mechanics of the human nervous system. Explore the chemistry behind how people think, feel, and act.

You’ll use chemistry, biology, and psychology to answer pressing questions about human behavior. Along the way, you’ll gain a greater understanding of God’s creation by studying what makes us human. Your knowledge of human behavior will give you a powerful voice in fields as diverse as economics, law, healthcare, and education.

What does your class list look like like if you complete the Neuroscience Concentration in Psychology? You might study what makes people tick in your "Theories of Personality" class. Grapple with high-tech ethics in an "Artificial Intelligence" class. Do gene research in the lab for your "Genetics and Development" class.

Calvin is one of the few Christian colleges or universities to offer a neuroscience program. You can investigate the brain from several angles by choosing one of the Neuroscience concentrations offered through Psychology, Biology, Chemistry or Biochemistry. Within the Psychology-Neuroscience program you’ll focus on the psychology of cognition, behavior, and brain function by selecting from courses in psychology, philosophy, biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science.

Far from being narrow, studying neuroscience here is a broadening and enriching experience. You’ll ask questions not only about the mind and brain but about what makes us human from a Christian perspective.

Life and Career Studies (LCS) is a Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary program that equips students with intellectual disability to flourish in life.

Through active participation in campus life, person-centered planning, and individualized learning, the Life and Career Studies program empowers you to transition successfully into a fulfilling post-school life. At Calvin, you’ll find a learning environment that cultivates your gifts and fosters skills you’ll need to thrive.

You will learn alongside your peers in the college classroom and take specialized courses that address practical skills like financial literacy, employment readiness, relationships, and independent living. You have the opportunity to earn one of two non-degree certificates—and as you do, you’ll grow in confidence and independence.
