Art
Clay is a living material and has such human qualities. Working with clay, students become more empathic. They develop a sense of care because they have to carry their vessel from a clumsy lump of clay into something that’s of use, which has worth and meaning. That’s what pottery is.

Criminology and Criminal Justice
Cal Lutheran and the Criminology and Criminal Justice department are preparing me for success in my future career by providing a high quality education that includes studying a variety of important subjects within Criminology and Criminal Justice. Some of the most impactful classes I’ve taken in this program are ‘Criminology’, ‘Contemporary Corrections’, ‘Family Violence’, ‘Substance Abuse’, and ‘Deviance in U.S. Society’. All of these classes have provided invaluable knowledge that will be very useful in my career.

I believe that I benefited the most from classes that weren’t highly advertised within the department, such as the Costume and Scene and Acting for Shakespeare classes. You can become part of the industry in other ways and continue to develop your acting skills, all while continuing your career path.
