The biology major has helped to solidify my interest in a medical career by providing academic exploration, exposure to healthcare-related experiences, mentorship, peer interactions, research opportunities, and pre-medical resources and support. By majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry and public health, I can fulfill the pre-medical or pre-health requirements necessary for admission to professional schools and succeed in these programs.

I found that the combination of my majors was helpful in my success during my internship. I would say that most of what I use in my current job derives from what I was able to learn and be a part of in both the criminal justice department and the Spanish department.

Riley Herbert

I have wanted to be a lawyer since I was little, and interested in politics for just as long. The political science department has kept my peers and me engaged with certain topics and guided us with helpful advice and support. Through both faculty and student-led productions, informative field trips, and a wide range of classes, I’ve also gotten a well-rounded education in Theatre Arts, as well as an incredible environment.

I would recommend Interdisciplinary studies to any student who has a niche of what they enjoy studying that does not quite fit into a pre- existing field of study. I picked this major because it provides more flexibility and it feels collaborative since I have a group of experts who believe in me, but also feel free to voice when a certain course I have in mind is not the right fit for my goals.

The entire Political Science Department has really helped me get to where I am today. The outcomes of graduates with a political science degree from Cal Lutheran are great.

I have always had a fascination with how the natural world works and its moving parts. I’ve always been interested in how the Earth’s crust moves and the composition of environments and inorganic materials that interact with each other.

I’m grateful for the relationships I’ve built with my professors and classmates at Cal Lutheran because it isn’t something I’d be able to get at other universities. I wouldn’t say I have an exact path yet for my future, but I have learned in college that not having a path is just fine.

Even if someone is not choosing a life of ministry as clergy, having the opportunity to study and learn about the different religions and the theologies behind them also helps us become better equipped to engage in meaningful conversations respectfully with those of various beliefs. It’s also useful knowledge to have for those entering fields that have direct contact with individuals and address their mental, physical, emotional or social needs.

All along the way up until now, I have had outstanding professors, especially at Cal Lutheran, that have influenced me to decide what to do next. These experiences have helped me see that I would love to be a professor myself so that I can pay it forward to the next generation of students.

Christina Romero ’23

Christina Romero

I remember one time I heard: choose something you love because then you wouldn’t have to work a day in your life. It was at this time that I felt I should be studying something I loved and enjoyed learning during my pastime. All of the classes I’ve taken so far have given me a better perspective of where I stand in my faith and have helped me understand Biblical context.
