Great Books Minor


The minor in Great Books provides a variety of course options and a flexible sequence of study. The five courses capture well the point of reading classic texts and the opportunity to participate more fully in the ideal of liberal arts education. Accordingly, the minor is intrinsically interdisciplinary and horizon-expanding.

Minor requirements


Any five (5) Great Books courses. With permission of the Great Books Director, either GB 170  or GB 171  may be replaced by a Philosophy course that satisfies the same core learning outcome (THER or ETH).

Major in Philosophy and minor in Great Books


Students may elect to major in Philosophy and minor in Great Books. In completing the requirements for each program, students are permitted to count one of their courses as fulfilling a requirement for both programs.
