Whether your passion is environmental conservation, urban planning, or business, you’ll master advanced tools like interactive web mapping and drone data collection to solve real-world problems.
This flexible, three-course credential fits into any major and focuses on using technology ethically to promote justice. By graduation, you’ll have the technical expertise and "big picture" perspective needed to map out a meaningful career and navigate our complex world.
As a digital communication major, you've signed up for one of the most unique programs on campus. You'll learn from some of Calvin's most sought-after departments—and you'll bring all your learning together to create something new.
You'll take computer courses that go way beyond the surface; be challenged and inspired to launch the mobile app you coded or design a website that you’re proud of.
You'll also learn from experienced art faculty who are as comfortable with Adobe Illustrator as they are with a paintbrush. You'll discover how timeless approaches to art can find new life in the digital world.
And you'll take courses that break storytelling down to its most basic parts. You'll learn every nuance of how people and organizations interact in an always-online world.
You'll take those three powerful ingredients and mix them into something that's unique to you. Whether your passion lies with graphic design, data analysis, social media, or something else, you'll chart a course to your goals with the help of expert Christian professors.
This minor is the perfect complement to a non-business major. It’s designed to help you succeed in any field you choose.
Some examples of what students gain:
Glance at the headlines today, and it quickly becomes clear that businesses, non-profits, and governments all desperately need people who can wisely collect, interpret, and apply data. In Calvin's data science program, you'll learn to analyze and understand data—and put it to effective use in a business, scientific, or social setting.
Calvin is one of the first Christian institutions to offer a data science program. Here, you’ll take foundational classes in computer science, statistics, and mathematics. Then you’ll pair your analysis and critical-thinking skills with a subject area that fits your career goals—like biology, geography, business, economics, or political science.
You’ll tie it all together with a capstone project that you can proudly present to employers, who are eager to hire data scientists like you.
How do you know you're looking at a top-tier pre-medicine program? The results speak for themselves: Calvin graduates score far above the national average on the MCAT and get into prestigious med schools all over the world.
Here, you'll discover everything you expect from a great pre-med program. Challenging courses. Faculty with deep experience in many medical fields. Research and internship opportunities you'd normally only experience as a graduate student.
Now add to that expert Christian professors who are actively rooting for your success. They know the skills and experiences top med schools look for and will make sure you graduate with them. You'll work with them one-on-one to identify healthcare careers that fit your interests and skills. And you'll get plenty of support as you navigate the med school application process.
You've just planned, designed, and built a new app... and it works. You break into a relieved smile—there’s nothing more satisfying than this: identifying a problem, creating a solution, and seeing the results.
Perhaps your program uses mathematical algorithms to process data faster. Maybe it improves business management or tracks the wellness of a patient in physical therapy. Whatever you create, we’ll equip you with the skills to solve complex problems and design software solutions. And you’ll apply your in-depth understanding of computation to another field of your choice.
Welcome to Calvin’s “computer science plus” major. You’ll earn a full BS degree in computer science, with supplementary courses in an applied field. Whether your interest lies in business, psychology, or language, there’s no limit to where computer science can take you.
