Cornerstone Learning Community

Entering college can be challenging. To get on the inside track, join Fontbonne's Cornerstone Learning Community!
Be part of a unique community of first-time freshmen.

For Fall 2008, Cornerstone students may choose between two course groupings, one geared toward business majors and one intended for liberal arts majors or students who are exploring majors. All participants will take INT105 Freshman Seminar. Those interested in the Exploring Business Group will also take BUS 230 Management Principles and PSY 100 Introduction to Psychology. Those choosing the Exploring the Liberal Arts Group will add ACS 100 Introduction to American Culture Studies and REL 225 World Religions. Most of these courses fulfill general education or Fontbonne University graduation requirements; some fulfill major requirements. Upperclassmen will work with you to ensure you have a smooth transition from high school. Also, Cornerstone students will be involved in special campus activities.
