Imagine using cutting-edge ideas and technology to work on today's most complex medical challenges: designing surgical robots that repair damage with incredible precision. Developing biomaterials that rebuild failing hearts and nerve systems. Creating prosthetics that restore active life to patients.

With a Calvin biomedical engineering minor, you’ll learn how to apply the foundational engineering knowledge at the intersection of medicine and technology. You'll engage with the latest science in classes that address anatomy, diseases, and therapies. You'll find internship opportunities in West Michigan's many hospitals, labs, and biomedical companies.

You'll also work one-on-one with Christian profs who will explain your career options and help you work toward your goal. When you graduate, you'll have the rock-solid engineering education and biomedical expertise that employers and graduate schools look for.

Every organization, big or small, needs systems to track, control, and steward their resources and relationships with stakeholders.

With a minor in information systems, you'll learn the fundamentals of both business and computing—and you'll be ready to forge collaboration between the two.

An information systems minor pairs extremely well with other majors from the Calvin School of Business. It can also complement a major in computer science, data science, mathematics, or statistics. Any career or project that requires interaction between businesspeople or organizational stakeholders and technology will benefit from the technical, professional, and collaborative skills you will gain in this program.

Join a challenging, distinguished program that gives you both breadth and depth in computer science.

In intense classes, you’ll explore areas like software engineering, computer architecture, digital security, and 2D and 3D design. You’ll learn from—and do research alongside—professors with industry experience in fields like artificial intelligence and supercomputing.

On top of that, our BCS degree is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET. It’s a distinction we share with a small number of significant programs around the country, such as MIT and the University of Michigan.

The result? Calvin BCS students go on to succeed at these and other graduate schools. They work for major technology firms internationally and locally, such as Google, Microsoft, Steelcase, Spectrum Health, and other business enterprises. And so can you.

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.

Calvin graduates 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.

Adding a sustainability designation to your degree means you’re committed to a bigger vision of what you can do as a student at Calvin. It means everything you do 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 renewal 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.

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.

Study the chemical reactions that make life happen. Explore chemical systems of incredible beauty and complexity. Confront real-world challenges like disease and environmental change. A biochemistry degree is the gateway to careers in research, medicine, and industry.

Exciting Courses

Early courses in our major expose you to all types of chemistry and give you a strong foundation in chemical thinking and problem-solving. Our advanced courses help you see how biochemistry can be used to solve real-world problems. You can take classes like:

When you understand the tiniest components of our natural world, you can make big changes. Chemistry influences the medicine we invent, the laws we write, and the spaces we create—and Christians are needed in these spaces to solve problems and spur innovation.

At Calvin, we explore things—all things.

From the nucleotide subunits in DNA to the regional interactions between ecosystems, you’ll uncover the depth and beauty of God’s creation. Conduct real-world research on phages, or get exposed to various medical practices while studying abroad in places like Nepal. Add a second major in psychology, education, business, or international development. And, yes, you’ll still graduate in four years.

By exploring all things, you will broaden your perspective as you dive deep into the roots of issues and their ethical implications. You’ll ask what it means to be a Christian biologist and then become one.
