LBCC Cornerstone Project

What's the Project?

LBCC's Cornerstone Project is a series of humanities courses that allow students of all majors and backgrounds to read and discuss transformative texts.

The aim of Cornerstone is simple: to provide all students, regardless of major, the opportunity for early academic engagement with core-texts in discussion-based courses led by faculty who are passionate about their success.

Courses that revolve around a discussion model and offer core-text readings in lieu of textbooks help students of all ages and abilities to develop the practice and skills needed to speak clearly, read carefully, reason effectively, and think creatively – giving them a solid foundation to build their academic careers, professional goals, and become engaged lifelong civic leaders.

We firmly believe in the power of a community college education: to provide accessible and quality liberal arts education, ensuring that all can grow and prosper in our free society.
