UNCP 5504 Capstone: The Courage to Becoming
Capstone Seniors only. classes may NOT be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only ONE Capstone class before graduation. The title of the Cornerstone elective The Courage to Know implies it requires courage to be an educated person. Wisdom evolves from having courage to set aside previous ways of being, seeing, and knowing, in order to incorporate new and previously unexplored understandings of the world around us. As a first-year student at BC, you courageously set out to know yourself in new ways while transitioning into college. Now, as seniors transitioning out of college, how has that early experience of CTK and your experience of Jesuit education combined to give you the Courage to Be...Be Attentive, Be Intelligent, Be Responsible, Be Reasonable, and Be Loving as you move from undergraduate life at BC into professional life beyond Chestnut Hill? Restricted to students who took Courage to Know in their first year. If seats are not filled, students from other sections of CTK in either of those semesters will be considered for overrides. Email Dr. Bracher renicke@bc.edu to ask to be enrolled in this course.
