Experiential Learning

Get involved as a student of history

There are plenty of ways to get involved as a student of history at Calvin. Check out these opportunities.

Off-campus programs

Through association with a number of off-campus programs, you can study abroad for a summer, a semester, or more. Current and recent semester programs for history majors include Britain and Hungary. Students have also spent semesters in China and Ghana. Studying in another part of the world through non-Calvin programs is also possible.

Research

The McGregor Summer Research Fellowship program pairs students in the social sciences with professors to conduct scholarly research during the summer.

Interim 2013

History courses abroad this year include HIST W10 Vietnam and Cambodia: Legacy of War and Empire with Prof. William Van Vugt and HIST W60 Turkey: Turkish Transformations with Prof. Doug Howard.

Many interesting on-campus courses are also on offer.

Student activities

Monthly lectures, movie nights, social events, a student/faculty lounge, and more give History major and minors many opportunities to interact and learn from each other.
