You may not know exactly what career you'll pursue after college, but one thing is certain: it will involve working with people. With a psychology major, you'll gain the skills and insight to help and work with people in any environment.

At Calvin, you'll start by asking big questions about human thinking and behavior. What makes us human? How does studying the brain provide insight into God’s creativity and purpose for us?

To find answers, you’ll learn from top-notch Christian faculty who have deep experience in many different fields. You could do an internship in Grand Rapids' famous medical community, which includes the nation's fifth-largest mental health facility. You could work with autistic children, help rehabilitate prisoners, or serve at a non-profit.

It all adds up to practical experience and knowledge that will prime you for success no matter where you go.

Anyone wanting to discover a fascinating, modern European culture will enjoy studying Netherlandic history, culture, and language. Go to the Netherlands as part of an off-campus program, or experience Dutch traditions right on campus—like our Sinterklaas and Koningsdag (King’s Day) parties, Dutch films, and Dutch chapel. And because Calvin is located in a historically Dutch-American region, you'll find plenty of connections to Dutch community, history, and culture.

A Dutch studies minor complements any major, because Netherlandic culture richly touches so many areas. Whether you plan a career in history, finance, engineering and water management, art history, literature, religion, immigration, or nearly anything else, your knowledge of Netherlandic language and culture will boost your opportunities.
