Considering Calvin?
The best way to learn about the department is to come for a visit. Arrange your visit with the Admissions Office. On "Fridays at Calvin" days you can take a department tour, visit a physics or astronomy class, and have lunch with a professor. On other days, just tell Admissions you would like to meet with a physics or astronomy professor. On November 11, 2011 and April 13, 2012, we'll offer special activities (including the chance to discover an asteroid!) as part of the Engineering and Computer Science Visit Day.
