Great Books is a world of discovery…a world of literature, philosophy, great books, and big ideas. And, of course, discussion and fun too! Hear from students about what the Great Books experience has meant to them.
At Great Books, I have learned to think about humanity, question the status quo, and reflect on why things are how they are and what we can do to change them…I met people from around the world and was able to nurture my acting and writing skills through electives.
