Join one of the most renowned undergraduate philosophy programs in the nation. Calvin's philosophy program is built on a tradition of excellence, grown by expert faculty, and respected across the world.

Wherever your life and career take you, you must be able to search for, articulate, and defend truth, goodnes, and beauty. At Calvin, you'll gain the skills you need to do that. You'll grapple with history’s deepest, most foundational questions and explore what it means to pursue truth and justice in today's world.

Along the way, you'll learn from professors who are leading voices in their field. You'll gain critical thinking and writing skills that you can apply to any discipline, from law to business to health science. You can even broaden your career options by combining your studies in philosophy with another field.

Join a small, faith-infused program that prioritizes hands-on learning. You might do research at the internationally -known Umm el-Jimal Project in Jordan , or learn in Calvin's cutting-edge archaeology lab.

At Calvin, you'll discover an ethical perspective on archaeology and history that looks beyond dates and artifacts. You might engage with refugees living near archaeological sites, or see how ancient water systems can provide clean water to threatened communities.

A minor in archaeology gives you valuable skills in history, art, geology, and many other disciplines. It complements and deepens almost any other field of study—from engineering to music.

African religion, language, and folklore—much of it preserved through centuries of slavery—affect everything from global economics to Christian theology. With a minor in Africa and African Diaspora studies, you'll bring a deep and nuanced understanding of these influences to any discipline.

You'll study the important stories of peoples who were torn from their societies and scattered across the globe by the slave trade. In small classes taught by expert professors, you'll explore the ways that Africans maintained their traditions and identities in Europe and the New World. You'll draw insight from disciplines as varied as geology, philosophy, and world languages. You'll earn a versatile minor that enhances any degree.

Gain critical thinking skills and a deep historical perspective that you can apply to any field of study. You’ll learn how the medieval period continues to shape language, religion, literature, and politics even today.

You'll view medieval culture through a wide variety of lenses, choosing courses from 13 different fields. You could analyze iconic artwork, learn about cutting-edge methods of deciphering ancient manuscripts, laugh with the pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales, or do a deep dive into the ideas and values that shaped Western culture.

You'll do all this while being guided by expert faculty who are active leaders in their fields. You'll earn a minor that complements any major, and a unique historical perspective that adds value to any career you pursue.

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.

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.
