With over 4,200 students, Calvin
is one of North America's largest and most respected Christian Colleges.
Calvin, founded in 1876, aims to provide a vigorous liberal arts education
that promotes lifelong service. The college's outstanding faculty is known
world wide for producing substantial and challenging art and scholarship.
In addition, Calvin's reputation as a caring community is evidenced by
a warm campus environment that develops the whole person in numerous community
service-leading endeavors.
Calvin faculty,
students, staff, and alumni live out the college's motto: "My heart I
offer to you, Lord, promptly and sincerely." Calvin's
curriculum is shaped by the Christian faith as reflected in the Reformed
creeds; because of the college's relatively large size, Calvin is able
to offer a diverse, Christian, liberal arts education. The curriculum
features over 75 majors and programs, numerous off-campus and foreign
study programs, a five-floor automated library with over 600,000 holdings,
many support services and a beautiful 375-acre campus.
Calvin's excellence in the classroom is matched by success in athletics.
Calvin has won eight NCAA Division III National team championshipsmen's
basketball in 1992 and 2000; women's cross country in 1998 and 1999 and
