The IES program at Cal Lutheran is so unique because of the fact that you’re given the opportunity to be in class, doing field work with students every year. The hands-on experience, the close-knit community, the emphasis on active learning at Cal Lutheran – that’s not gonna be found anywhere else.

I think it’s important for students to have the opportunity to see the faculty perform. They become aware of what goes into performance: repertory selection, planning, rehearsal, and, most important, practice. This becomes part of the culture they inhabit and a model for what is necessary for success in the arts.

Psychology
My favorite courses this semester are Physio Psychology and Human Cognition. These are part of my Psychology major. I love the teacher-student interaction that I get from both my majors. Professors form a mentor-like relationship with their students and that is what I like.
