Research opportunities
At Calvin, science comes alive as students partner with faculty to conduct research in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology/geography, mathematics/statistics, nursing, physics/astronomy and psychology.
Paid research fellowships are available each summer. In 2011:
- 82 students worked with 38 Calvin professors from eight departments.
- 61 research projects explored a wide variety of projects ranging from studying microorganisms to studying the centers of galaxy clusters. See more 2011 projects.
- Students received a $3,700 stipend for 10 weeks of research.
- 57% of the projects were externally funded by grants from outside Calvin College
- 26% more were funded by private donors
This summer science students researched everything from the human eye to herring gulls. See a video of them in action.
