Senior Seminar in the Liberal Arts

This course is for seniors who would like to reflect upon the meaning of liberal arts education during their final year at Middlebury. As a senior, what do you now understand to be the meaning and purpose of a liberal arts education? How have you chosen to engage the intersections between the intellectual and residential life? Through an interdisciplinary study of various “texts,” we will engage these questions and explore what a ‘good life” might be and how one might pursue such a thing after graduation. There will be opportunities for public speaking and oral presentation, as well as regular writing assignments. This class is not open to students who have already taken INTD/EDST 0210 Sophomore Seminar in the Liberal Arts. 3 hrs. sem.
