HN 103Honors Liberal Arts Seminar1
This course will be the entry course for Honors Fellows into the Honors Program. Students enroll in this course in the fall semester of their entry in to the Honors Program. This course introduces students to the history of Liberal Arts, as well as some of the primary authorities within the tradition of Christian Liberal Arts. Focus is also given to building community between the new Honors Fellows and the incoming first- year honors Scholars. Pre-requisite: acceptance in Honors Program.
This course involves the intensive study of a single or multiple texts from within the Christian, Western or World Traditions that engage deeply with existential questions. These texts had cultural resonance at the time of their composition and continue to challenge our understandings of a life well-lived. The texts covered in this seminar will rotate and will be chosen by the faculty member teaching the course in consultation with the Honors Director. The format of the class will be largely discussion-based with extensive practice in verbal and written argumentation. Students and faculty will also draw upon the authorities of the Christian tradition (scriptures and creeds), as well as the Christian theological narrative to work through the relationship of these texts to the themes and ideas within the Christian tradition and the students’ own spiritual lives, regardless of their faith tradition. May be repeated for credit. Pre-requisite: IS 102 (Honors) or HN 103 and sophomore standing, acceptance in Honors Program, or with the permission of the Honors Director.
