What You'll Learn
Are you awed by the vibrant life, color, and beauty of the earth? Do you see the hand of God in his creation, and do you have a deep desire to care for it? We do, too.
We are motivated by this simple idea鈥攖hat the health and well-being of both humans and the environment are deeply interconnected.
At Calvin, you鈥檒l find a passionate group of faculty and students who are already at work with initiatives like Plaster Creek Stewards and the Calvin Environmental Assessment Program. You鈥檒l do meaningful, r茅sum茅-building research on topics like stream restoration, invasive plants and species, environmental threats, and more. With all of the rich outdoor environments that Michigan has to offer, you鈥檒l have a place to begin caring for and to call your own.
What Makes This Program Great
- Two paths: Choose the area of focus that best fits your career goals: Ecology and Management or One Health. Each will prepare you to promote ecological health from a unique perspective.
- A deeper purpose: We don鈥檛 stop at the mechanics of environmental science. Instead, you鈥檒l dig deep into questions involving faith, ethics, conservation, and more.
- Just the right size: We鈥檙e small enough to be a tight-knit community and big enough to receive funding for advanced, specialized equipment. That means you鈥檒l get access to personalized faculty support, smaller classes, and cutting-edge technology.
