Research & Creative Arts
Celebrating student research and creative scholarship.
Cal Lutheran students across all disciplines are given opportunities to participate in research and creative scholarship, allowing them to make original contributions to their fields while they study.
Faculty-mentored, self-directed work is facilitated through our research programs, which serve both our undergraduate and graduate students. Their accomplishments include all types of scholarship — traditional lab research, creative works, quantitative research and qualitative explorations.
Giving them invaluable experience for the future, students are called to present their research to their peers and the community during our annual conferences and exhibits.
Undergraduate Research & Creative Scholarship
We foster student research experiences and research-based internships through our Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship (OURCS).
Research & Education Centers
Our faculty-led research centers provide opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students to help further the knowledge of their field.
Festival of Scholars
Every spring, we showcase our students' scholarly work. In addition to traditional research studies, the projects include creative work and the application of theory to real-life situations.
