When using a list view to show only a single entry, such as an academic program, use the following code to grab the first item in the list of items returned.

CuSitefinityHelper.cs

public static ItemViewModel GetFirstItemViewModel(this DynamicContentListViewModel listModel)
{
    ItemViewModel item = null;
    if (listModel.Items.Any())
    {
        item = listModel.Items.First();
    }
    return item;
}

Sitefinity-List.DynamicContent.cshtml

@model Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.DynamicContent.Mvc.Models.DynamicContentListViewModel
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.Mvc.Helpers;
@using Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.Mvc.Models;
@using cusitefinity.Foundation.CuSitefinityFoundation.Helpers;
@{
    ItemViewModel item = Model.GetFirstItemViewModel();
}
@if (item != null)
{
   // cshtml code //
}
