About this course

The Purposeful Life course is the capstone experience to the Woods College Core Curriculum. The course builds upon the personal values and strengths students will concurrently explore in the Designing Your Career course. Students will grapple with and dig deeper into the following big-picture questions: What is my purpose and how do I pursue it? What problems of purpose do I care most about? How can I make a meaningful contribution that also brings me satisfaction? Research posits that having an awareness of how to approach work and the meaning that derives from it is crucial in achieving the best possible outcomes for both individuals and organizations. Course perspectives will combine psychology, adult learning, and organizational leadership topics to help students frame their purposeful path. Students will engage in a semester-long problem-based learning project that explores a local ethical issue they would like to understand better. This project will refine students reflection skills, incorporate their strengths, and enhance practical knowledge needed for future professional aspirations and lifelong learning. This learning experience will help students combine the competencies they have acquired in their Woods College coursework and co-curriculum with practical application in successful project implementation. This course is restricted to Woods College students with more than 100 credits. Students must register for the corequisite course, ADEX4151 Designing your Career.
