Criminology and Criminal Justice
Cal Lutheran and the Criminology and Criminal Justice department are preparing me for success in my future career by providing a high quality education that includes studying a variety of important subjects within Criminology and Criminal Justice. Some of the most impactful classes I’ve taken in this program are ‘Criminology’, ‘Contemporary Corrections’, ‘Family Violence’, ‘Substance Abuse’, and ‘Deviance in U.S. Society’. All of these classes have provided invaluable knowledge that will be very useful in my career.

Multimedia
As a Multimedia major with a graphic design emphasis, I loved my Typography class. I enjoyed getting to know the ins and outs of fonts, typefaces, and all the details that come with creating with words. This knowledge has been impactful on every project I’ve worked on within my major.

Sociology
With a diverse classroom, not only are various perspectives shared, but my hope is that through this sharing, students can begin to recognize where they fit within the spectrum of advantages and disadvantages and use this lens to create a more equal society.
