Learn to think creatively, communicate effectively, and solve problems in a program tailored to your career goals. You’ll find opportunities in applied, pure, or computational mathematics as well as education, statistics, and actuarial studies.
As a mathematics major, you’ll have the opportunity to do collaborative research alongside your professors. Participate in problem solving activities and competitions, learn from peers and visiting mathematicians in weekly Colloquium gatherings, or even spend a semester studying mathematics in Hungary.
You’ll learn in a thriving community that values close student-faculty ties—and you’ll learn from professors who bring both doctoral-level expertise and thoughtful Christian perspectives to every class.
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.
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.
Design the machines that power the modern world.
From elevators to airports, you’ll put your creativity to work solving problems and improving the systems that run our everyday lives. At Calvin, you’ll find everything you need to do that: experienced faculty, high-tech facilities, state-of-the-art tools, hands-on internships, and the chance to study abroad. Plus, you can do it all in just four years.
Be prepared to be a leader in this rapidly expanding global field. And because this is a Calvin engineering degree, you’ll graduate with something equally important: a desire to use your skills to make life more joyful, more just, and more accessible for your neighbors.
Calvin engineers solve problems in the real world. And in an energy-hungry society, one of the ways you’ll make a significant difference is by solving those problems sustainably.
Graduating from Calvin's energy, environment, and sustainability program means you’re committed to a bigger vision of what you can do as an engineer. It means everything you create takes into account the impact it will have on the people and places around you. It means you’ve immersed yourself in courses that analyze the most pressing environmental challenges and opportunities. And it means you embrace Calvin’s unique understanding of engineering as a way to serve, heal, and restore God’s creation.
It also means you’ll be well-suited for the job market. As more and more companies understand the importance of efficiency and sustainability, you are sure to stand out from the crowd.
Build and create in a fast-growing field.
Robotics and automation are transforming countless industries, from manufacturing to artificial intelligence to telecommunications. Whether it's self-driving cars or industrial robots, there's an unprecedented need for engineers who can imagine and build creative, efficient systems that use cutting-edge tech and thinking to solve age-old human needs.
In Calvin's mechatronics program, you'll gain skills and experience to lead in one of the fastest-growing fields in engineering. Your classes will ground you in engineering fundamentals that you can leverage in any career, while giving you practical experience with machine design, electronic controls, and computer programming.
When you integrate this technical expertise with Calvin's unique emphasis on the liberal arts, you'll graduate with everything you need to take a leadership role in a wide range of careers.
Cutting-edge technology for public service.
With a graduate certificate in GIS for Local Government, you'll be equipped to harness the power of mapping and data analysis to manage assets and make better decisions for your community.
From choosing the location for a new fire station, to identifying neighbors at risk of food insecurity, to better understanding demographic data, this program will empower community and government professionals with essential tools and skills.
Create and shape the chemical reactions that make modern life possible.
As one of the few Christian universities to offer an accredited chemical engineering concentration, Calvin offers something truly distinctive. Here, you'll thrive in small project-based courses. You'll find research opportunities you'd normally find at a much bigger school—with the supportive community you can only find at a smaller one.
You'll learn from expert chemistry and engineering faculty who are also committed Christians. They'll know you by name and champion you in your studies. They'll use their experience to connect you to internships that set you on course for a world-changing career.
You'll graduate with everything you need to succeed and something more: a Christian vision for the better world you're going to create.
