Criminology and Criminal Justice
In Introduction to Criminal Justice, we had the opportunity to tour Ventura County Jail, which completely shaped my opinions on corrections. The ‘Procedural Law’ class with Professor Oakman helped me understand our laws and court systems. Professor Oakman gave us the opportunity to watch a case live and it put into context everything we learned in the classroom.

Global Studies
Global Studies has given me an immensely global perspective to my biology passion, and how the health and environmental issues affecting our planet need global solutions. It is a major I would unreservedly recommend to anyone wishing to find a way to explore a different discipline in college or looking for a more well-rounded perspective to any other major.

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.
