Internships

Make real-world connections

U.S. News and World Report names Calvin as one of only 15 schools in the nation for "outstanding internships that enhance student success." It's no wonder since over 80% of Calvin students complete internships as they prepare for careers in medicine, engineering, marketing, environmental education, ministry and more.

At Calvin, you'll have resources at your fingertips to make crucial connections between what you study in courses and the real world. Take advantage of the vast network the Calvin community has created to intern for Airbus in Germany, the New York Stock Exchange, the Harley Davidson division of Wolverine Worldwide, Herman Miller, Zondervan, World Vision and hundreds of other well-established companies and organizations.
