Dynamic Calvin Undergraduate Research

At Calvin, you will have many opportunities to team with our professors on cutting-edge research projects. This year's
On-Campus Summer Research program supported 29 students doing full-time research alongside 11 faculty working on 22 individual projects.

Off-Campus Summer
Research experiences for undergraduates (REUs) also exist at other institutions that can provide yet another great opportunity. Off-campus summer research positions offer a stipend and often a travel and housing allowance. Check out the many

Undergraduate Student Authorships in Publications

When you work with a professor on research projects, it often results in publications with students as co-authors. Since 2000, 118 students have been published in highly respected scientific journals.

Faculty Research

All of our professors maintain vigorous year-round research programs designed to enhance your chemistry experience.

Supporting Grants

Our research projects and cutting-edge instruments are funded in large part by $7 million in grants received over the past eight years.
