Biology
Coming into college, I didn’t know that I would actually be doing research as an undergraduate student. This has been eye-opening into what research really is like, especially working in a lab and within a team.

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.

Psychology
Being involved in my own research project over the summer was one of the most beneficial experiences of my undergraduate career. Working one-on-one with a professor who was so experienced in the research field gives me an edge for graduate school.
