 Return to: Departments and Programs
The Shimer Great Books (SGB) Major comprises the entirety of the School’s core curriculum. SGB majors take courses in all three areas of the curriculum: humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Studying the breadth of human knowledge and creation allows SGB majors to integrate knowledge and methods from disparate fields and develop insights that transcend any given discipline of study. Majors in SGB develop their insights through a combination of individual reflection; small-class discussions; intensive writing, peer-editing and revision of essays; and the variety of practical exercises that reflect our readings in each area sequence of courses.
