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.

Study the complexities of justice and power while developing analytical and communication skills that you can use in many fields, including government, law, business, and the nonprofit sector.

At Calvin, you'll take advantage of small class sizes, student research positions, internship opportunities, and off-campus programs. Your experiences will equip you to enter the complex world of politics, diplomacy, and civil society.

Understand the world in a whole new way—going beyond partisan, national, and ideological divisions—and resolve to take action as a faithful servant of Christ.

Study political systems and interactions across the globe while developing a range of related skills.

As you pursue an international relations degree, you'll explore the theory and practice of global politics. You'll gain the skills and knowledge to advocate for human rights and resolve conflicts from a Christian perspective. Whether at home or abroad, you'll be well prepared for a career in fields ranging from diplomacy, international law, and international business, to non-profit humanitarian work.
