  • The Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at Pacific Lutheran University teaches students to understand the social and structural context of our human experience.

    Justice at Pacific Lutheran University teaches students to understand the social and structural context of our human experience. Our classes highlight how inequalities in American Society impact individual opportunities, such as access to housing, bail, healthcare, or legal representation. Our programs in sociology and criminal justice provide unique opportunities for independent research, faculty mentorship, and career exploration. To learn more about the sociology program and the criminal justice

The Environment and Society – 8 semester hours These courses focus on the understanding of the institutions within which environmental decisions are made and investigate the implementation and implications of environmental decisions

  • The goal of these programs is to provide early stage students first hand experience with cutting-edge research in a range of departments, including Biology, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, and more. These summer research experiences for undergraduate’s (REU)’s are ten-week research-immersion internship programs…

    Earth science and life with the goal of understanding what makes a planet hospitable. Topics will include atmospheric sciences, oceanography, soil science, ecology, planetary science, plate tectonics, deep and early Earth processes, and volcanism. This program will include a 5 day field trip to the Western US. Competitive students will be interested in how the Earth works and be willing to travel. Majors from physics, chemistry, geology, environmental science, biology, computer science, or related

He has recently received funding from the National Science Foundation to conduct field work in the SW Alaska Range to study the tectonics of the region.  This project has a strong undergraduate research component as well as an outreach component for teachers/students associated with the Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association (MESTA). As a result, he is keeping a blog about the experience. Much of the focus of the posts are geared toward geology in the field and the challenges

    , Ontario. It was while he was at Queens that he first met his future wife Berta. His PhD in Geology was done at the University of Washington, studying metamorphism and structural history in the North Cascades and working under the legendary Peter Misch. Prior to Brian’s arrival at PLU, some geology courses had been taught, due in part to the efforts of the late Burt Ostenson. Brian’s arrival marked the hiring of the first permanent geologist on the faculty at PLU. Brian’s vision to establish the
