Course Description

Seminar 104P The Global Conversation of the 20th and 21st Centuries

LEAP students are engaged in exploration of issues of significant relevance for a 21st-century student, and texts that allow for integrative thinking across the LEAP seminar course sequence. Further, this course engages students in pursuit of the liberal arts core competencies as they are uniquely structured in the LEAP program. The last portion of the course will include student reflections on what they have learned and how they have grown, revisiting the steps of their intellectual development in a capstone experience.
