Programs of Study 135
401-THE DEAN’S SEMINAR. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior Status and Permission
of Instructor. This seminar is designed to deepen student understanding of self
identity within social contexts— a study that contributes to intellectual, moral,
social, aesthetic, and spiritual growth. In particular, this study examines the
philosophical question of what constitutes “The Good Life.” During the course,
students apply both historical and contemporary concepts of “The Good Life”
to the growth and development of their own identities as individuals and as
members of local and global communities. The course presents this topic through
the study of philosophy, poetry, songs, films, essays, and novels. The course
requires students to respond to these texts both critically and creatively. The
Dean’s Seminar is taught by the Academic Dean and corresponds to and advances
Virginia Intermont’s overarching educational goal to value the “uniqueness and
worth of every individual” and to provide opportunities for individual “growth
and discovery.”
