Student Perspectives
"At CLU, we dealt with actual problems and I had an opportunity to listen, learn and develop good leadership skills. As a principal, I'm accessible and approachable to students, staff and the community - I'm involved."
John Arreguin

"The faculty had knowledge and experience that was practical and realistic. They applied their subject matter to real world situations. They care about me as a person and student."
Michele Dean

CLU degrees: B.A.'78; M.A. '88; Ed.D. '06
Ed.D. program
"CLU was very helpful in individualizing my program of studies and accepting credit for course work at other schools. I ended up with a master’s degree and two teaching credentials. If I went to school elsewhere, I probably would have had to go twice as long to get the same degree and credentialing."

Director of Special Projects
Ocean View School District
"Most of the instructors at Cal Lutheran were well known in administration in Santa Barbara County. They would discuss their background and administrative career. It was extremely inspiring and exhilarating. The type of person that CLU employs shows they have a respectable and highly esteemed program."

"The CLU faculty helped me increase my professional marketability. I cultivated the confidence of my employers, succeeded at jobs and received promotions. Personally, I grew."
