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 2010

History courses abroad this year include Vietnam and Cambodia, Jordan, and Italy. On campus courses include Cultural History of Games and Research Methods in History, as well as several related courses.

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.
