Calvin College

Join the quest
Here it’s not just what you know—it’s the questions you’re willing to ask. We believe every major can uncover truths about God and the world, so all are called to join the quest, ask the complex questions, and share in the discovery. So dig deep into the wonderings of philosophy, the intricacies of language, or the beauty of the world at a molecular level. Because when you learn to think through complex problems, you can discover creative solutions that give glory to God. 

Explore all things
With 100+ majors and programs, Calvin offers a transformative education that’s tailored to your interests and equips you for service to the world. Plus, the meaningful work in your area of interest doesn’t begin after college but right here during the Calvin experience—through real-world internships and the chance to research alongside our renowned Christian faculty. Outside the classroom, dive into any of our 80 student organizations as part of a bold, vibrant community.
