Dutch
Exploring the Language and Culture of the Netherlands

Calvin was the first institution of higher learning in the United States to make Dutch part of its curriculum, and for a good reason. Calvin College was founded in 1876 by Dutch Calvinist settlers whose language formed a bridge to their cultural heritage.

But Dutch is not only for those with Dutch blood running through their veins. Studying the Dutch language and culture will open you to a people who have long been making remarkable contributions to both the European community and the greater international scene.
