What is the Dean’s Book Course?
The Dean’s Book Course is unique among university offerings. This 3-credit course actually comprises three separate seven-week seminars—Honors 191D, Honors 291D, and Honors 391D—taken over the time of a student’s enrollment in Commonwealth College. Each seminar is devoted to the study of a single contemporary book and exploration of the issues it raises. The three seminar levels emphasize different approaches and activities, yet the text at the center of each seminar is the same.
