I really enjoyed how invested Dr. Nicole Hansmeier and Professor Scott J. Wilson were in their students. They showed genuine compassion and gave helpful feedback which made doing assignments easier. I struggle with writing, and Professor Wilson (English and Writing Across the Disciplines Coordinator) helped tremendously to improve my techniques in writing. Dr. Hansmeier helped with conveying concepts and her exams were a clear reflection of her notes/examples.”

“
One of my first-year courses was Women’s and Gender Studies taught by Dr. Brenda Anderson. I credit that course and Dr. Anderson for giving me the vocabulary I needed to articulate myself to government representatives. Her continued mentorship and guest-speaking opportunities made me feel like I had something to say, I had a story, and I should share it. My work ethic and understanding of how to organize my time comes from my experience at Luther.”

PPE is definitely a great major if you are interested in policy. It’s also helpful if you aren’t exactly sure on what you want to do after you graduate the diverse course material across three subjects will give you a broad skillset that can be applied to a number of different jobs!
Another nice thing about PPE is that the cohort is very close-knit, so it is easy to meet new people and make lasting connections!”

“I wouldn’t have gone to school for singing if I did not get the funding that I did through Luther College and the University of Regina. I received enough scholarships that 75% of my degree was paid for. There was no way that I would be where I am now if I didn’t have that funding in the beginning.”
