An Integrative Capstone Course in the
City of Light
Accepted Students
You've worked hard to make the most of your four years at St.
John's, and now we want to give you the chance to make the most of
your last semester. The Office of Global Studies and University
Provost Dr. Julia Upton,
RSM, Ph.D. are excited to introduce the Provost's Fellowship
Seminar program. This all new program gives our highest-achieving
seniors the opportunity to celebrate the culmination of their St.
John's experience with a week-long trip to Paris, France.
Based around a hybrid distance-learning/study abroad course, THE
3050 "Integration Seminar: Shaping a Congruent Life," the program
begins in Paris, where students will visit many of the city's great
historical and religious landmarks while studying the history and
culture of the city in a theological context. The course will
continue through the Spring 2012 semester as a distance-learning
class. The course will act as a capstone to students’ undergraduate
studies, encouraging students to reflect on their St. John’s
careers from a theological perspective, focusing on religious
tradition, Vincentian values and ethical practice. The best part
is, students selected to participate will only be required to pay
for their airfare to and from Paris – all other expenses are
paid!
Eligibility Requirements:
Students must be entering their final semester of undergraduate
study and have at least a 3.0 GPA. Students of all majors are
encouraged to apply.
Costs: Students are responsible
for the cost of airfare and any incidental costs (souvenirs, some
meals, etc.). All other expenses will be paid by the
university.
