German
Studying abroad in Berlin was incredible because I was able to witness first-hand the culture and language that I had been learning about for so many years. Some of the highlights were being able to study at a German university, travel around Europe, and live with a host family. I came back to Cal Lutheran with a better understanding of my place in the world, eager to continue my studies in German with a new perspective.

Political Science
The Political Science department gave me a plentitude of opportunities to expand my knowledge within this field. I was able to study politics at Oxford University, immerse myself into Cuban culture and government, research droughts as a McNair scholar, and be a civil servant to minority groups through the Gallegly fellowship.

Sociology
Sociology and Political Science major Maria Reyes studies the identity construction of first-generation Latina college students, who are viewed as a new generation navigating the world between two different cultures and identities. With her research, Reyes aims to figure out how the American and Latin cultures are mixed and result in this distinct identity.
