Political Science
I’ve always been drawn to community engagement, empowerment and service, so I study political science because it has fundamental roots in community development. Cal Lutheran’s program takes students into the field and also makes studying abroad very doable.

Pre-Med
The Pre-Health Seminar really kickstarted my pre-med experience at Cal Lutheran. Along with AMSA, it connected me to a network of like-minded students and exposed me to what was available. The summer after freshman year, I started my first internship, which I have continued ever since. I have learned and grown so much working within a hospital environment around patients and medical staff.

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.
