The Cal Lutheran Experience

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!

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

Qualitative social science research projects encourage students to get involved in social issues by offering a tool to analyze them and forcing the students to interact with those who are directly affected by the issues. Research projects help students develop skills, values and attitudes that cannot be easily developed in conventional class settings.
