In addition to the standard programs, we want to mention these special opportunities for learning.
Chicago Semester
The Chicago Semester (formerly known as the Chicago Metropolitan Center)
program offers qualified juniors and seniors with a cumulative grade point
average of at least a 2.5 the opportunity to gain a semester's credit
through studying and working in Chicago. Students participate in seminars
at CS's Loop Center and spend four days a week in an internship related
to their career interest and academic major. For more information contact
the Off-Campus
Programs office.
Daystar University
Under the auspices of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities
(CCCU), a limited number of Calvin students study for a semester at Daystar
University in Kenya with over 1,300 African students from more than 20
African countries. Contact the Off-Campus Programs office for more information.
Hogesool Zeeland
This exchange program offers students a chance to live and study in the
Netherlands for a semester and earn credits that will satisfy requirements
for a business or economics major or minor, while gaining important international
business experience. Classes are taught in English, with much of the coursework
involving team projects. Calvin students typically attend HZ during the
spring semester. Contact Prof. Ev Van Der Heide for more information.
Latin American
Studies Program
Through the Latin American Studies Program, Calvin students have the opportunity
to live and learn in San Jose, Costa Rica. In addition to their academic
studies, students take part in a service opportunity and travel for three
weeks in nearby Central American nations. Contact Prof. Roland Hoksbergen
for more information on this program.
