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.
French
The summer before my junior year at Cal Lutheran, I took French classes for two months in northwestern France. I returned to southern France for the fall semester and continued my French courses in Aix-en-Provence. The idea of adding a language as a second major can be daunting to people, but without my French major I would've never had the chance to live abroad and communicate with people from around the world!

Classroom in the Field
Fieldwork is essential to a geologist's education. The coursework in Physical Geology includes hands-on experience in the lab and in the field. The department's trips range far and wide, from overnights in Death Valley to the local hiking hotspot of Wildwood Park.
