Capstone: One Life, Many Lives

Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences

Capstone classes cannot be taken Pass/Fail. You may take only one Capstone class before graduation. This Capstone is designed for students who have engaged in service projects during college and want to reflect on that as they plan their future lives. The service projects may have been through BC (Pulse, 4Boston, Arrupe, service trips, etc.) or on their own in Boston, the U.S., or abroad. Please contact Fr. Weiss to enroll: weissj@bc.edu or 617 552 3897.. This course gives you the chance to review what you have made of your education and preview your long-term life commitments to work, relationships, community, and spirituality. We read fiction, psychology, sociology, and wisdom figures to find the deeper continuity underlying our many experiences. Students lead discussions, conduct interviews of working people, and cap off their Capstone by writing their own autobiography.
