Good Life Course

Seeking to give first-year students the chance to reflect on the human condition, their personal lives and their roles and responsibilities in a globalized world, UF has launched a general education humanities elective entitled “What is the Good Life?”  The course draws on art, music, literature, history, religion and philosophy to encourage students to examine and discuss how to live well – both as an individual and a member of the global community responsible for making reasonable, ethical, and informed choices.  The course involves faculty in thirteen departments, three centers, the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, and the Phillips Center for Performing Arts.
