ROCK Course Descriptions

The FGCU ROCK courses change based on semesters and faculty availability; however, below is the list of sample courses:

  • Understanding Kindness, Compassion, and Empathy
  • The Compassionate Life
  • The Contemplative Life
  • Foundations of Civic Engagement
  • Honors Seminar: Through the primary lens of the Humanities, this course explores the concepts of compassion, empathy, and kindness.  The goal is that by developing a deeper understanding of these concepts, each of us will embrace the desire to act more compassionately with oneself, in one’s local community, and in the world at large.  Assignments are all designed to advance these goals.
