Art
As an artist, my purpose is to show up to the easel and do my work. Whether outcomes are good or not so good, to show up and give all of themselves to the work at hand is the most important thing that my students can learn from me. When I see those that have taken that to heart, I know I have done my job.

Senior Lecturer
Liberal Studies in Education
The IES program at Cal Lutheran is so unique because of the fact that you’re given the opportunity to be in class, doing field work with students every year. The hands-on experience, the close-knit community, the emphasis on active learning at Cal Lutheran – that’s not gonna be found anywhere else.

Theatre Arts
We don't just focus on warm-ups and how to speak on stage. We also study the history of theatre, and we are encouraged to broaden our intellect by taking classes outside of theatre. This helps us become more knowledgeable when we are faced with challenging roles and situations.
