Each hour-long session focuses on poetry, art, or a brief selection of prose. These lively discussions model the shared inquiry seminar style used in the world’s best universities.

Writer's Workshops Too!
Many readers are budding authors who would benefit from Writer’s Workshop classes to build techniques while engaging in a supportive community of writers. And, of course, every student needs to learn the Essential Elements of Writing – the mechanics, grammar, and other tools necessary to master the art of well-formed writing.
Make the most of each week with both the Great Books Online Seminar and Discussion Series and Writing Programs!
