Research & Creative Arts
Opportunities for student research and creative scholarship.
Students across all disciplines are able to participate in academic research and creative arts. Working independently or with faculty, you can make original contributions to your field of study through programs, showcases, and exhibitions geared to your topics of interest.
Featured accomplishments include all types of scholarship: traditional lab research, creative works, quantitative analysis, and qualitative explorations. With these invaluable experiences, you can present your work on the Cal Lutheran campus to boost your resume or CV through further recognition.
Do you have a passion for curiosity? You may discover a world of opportunity by getting involved in research.
