Mission  
School mission: California Lutheran University is a selective comprehensive institution dedicated to academic excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and professional fields. Its mission is to educate leaders for a global society who are strong in character and judgment, confident in their identity and vocation, and committed to service and justice. Rooted in the Lutheran tradition, the university encourages critical inquiry into matters of both faith and reason. CLU provides a challenging academic environment with special strengths in business, education, science and the humanities. Low class sizes and faculty-student ratios enable undergraduate and graduate students to work closely with their distinguished professors, becoming partners in learning and research. Members of the CLU student body come from across the nation and nearly 50 countries around the globe, representing a diversity of faiths and cultures. International and study abroad programs are strong. University life is active, with most students living on campus and high participation rates in intramural sports and other activities. Service is integrated throughout the curriculum and extracurricular activities. CLU's intercollegiate athletic teams have garnered many titles competing at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III level. The university's new athletics complex includes a fitness center, aquatics center, tennis courts and baseball and softball fields. In 2009, the university will celebrate its 50th anniversary, open a new residence hall and break ground on the Swenson Center for Academic Excellence.
