Course Description

The senior capstone represents the culmination of an ACU student's liberal arts education. In the senior capstone experience, students will meet in small classes (10-12 students) with others from their academic discipline to synthesize and make connections between a) their disciplines; b) the courses they've taken, and c) their personal calling, within the context of the biblical worldview and God's truth.
