Course Structure

Courses that satisfy the Cura Personalis 3 component - whether done as part of a standalone section or integrated with another course - should meet the following essential criteria:

Guide students in reflecting on the intersections between the Core and major and in considering how Jesuit education is career-enhancing,
Require students to develop appropriate career-enhancing tools (e.g., resume, cover letter, professional social media presence, etc.) and practices (e.g., networking, professional association memberships, interviewing techniques, negotiating strategies, etc.),
Guide students in examining academic and non-academic post-baccalaureate options and logistics,
Require students to prepare both written and oral presentations in which they identify an audience beyond SLU to whom they (1) connect the Jesuit tradition to their major program of study and (2) articulate how the SLU experience distinguishes them on the wider world stage, and
Require an artifact that demonstrates student achievement of component learning outcomes.
