Geosciences
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.
History Pedagogy
I chose Cal Lutheran because of their teaching credential program. However, I also fell into place in the history program for my undergraduate degree. I knew I would be at home and comfortable with my major and the people the moment I had my first academic advising appointment with Dr. Reaves. She made me feel at home and provided me with the tools I needs to graduate on time and successfully.

Multimedia
The Multimedia department offers a variety of unique courses, like Maxon Cinema 4D and Typography, that help us build skills in a wide range of fields such as film, graphic design, and animation. This grants me more opportunities to find a job. In addition, Cal Lutheran’s small class sizes ensure that I get all the help and feedback I need from my professors to succeed.
