Communication
The student Travel Seminar to China in 2014 was led by Professors Ryan Medders and Debby Chang. The course integrated authentic Chinese material with an exploration of its history, philosophies, religions, values, customs, and media.
Taking action is the best way to help you discover your purpose. For example, by participating in a travel seminar students have the opportunity to make a positive difference in their community and the world.

Exercise Science
Exercise Science majors Michael Diaz, Britain Chaputa and Carlos Gonzalez investigate the impact high intensity exercise has on cerebral blood flow. With this groundbreaking research, they hope to contribute towards current studies on traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, so that they can be better assessed.
Physics
Physics is the primordial science that tries to understand and model the "why?", "how?" and "when?" of our universe. As a curious person, this everlasting quest for answers drew me to physics. At Cal Lutheran, the physics department gave me the instruction and opportunities to become a great experimentalist through numerous hands-on experiences.
