Credit(s): 4
Lecture: 0
Non-Lecture: 4

The American Cornerstones Project provides first-year and transfer students with a high-impact, shared learning experience focused on a common set of readings directed toward an exploration of American Civic Values. The three-course sequence, open to all interested students, is intended to produce committed and informed students, engaged and ready to help close the alarmingly wide gap between the nation’s democratic ideals and the sometimes-disturbing current practice of its democracy.

American Cornerstones I is a reading and discussion-based seminar where students will begin reading critical works on the sources of American Civic values, their meaning, and their evolving significance.

This course is open to first-year and transfer students during their first semester on campus.

Offered: Every Fall Semester
