Signature Experience (SigX)

Gustavus students must complete 4 credits of Signature Experience (SigX), or a one-credit summer internship or research experience, or a zero-credit on-campus summer internship or research experience. The Signature Experience graduation requirement bridges the gap between academic knowledge and practical application of that knowledge in outward facing contexts, and prepares students to connect the value of justice, developed on campus, to their life beyond Gustavus by preparing them to be thoughtful and ethical leaders in the workplace, in their communities, and in the world through a meaningful learning experience.

Students have four options for completing this requirement and, with the guidance of an advisor, are encouraged to pursue the option that is most appropriate given their individual vocational goals and interests. Students may complete more than one Signature Experience. Students must have successfully completed a minimum of 32 credits before enrolling in a Signature Experience.
