The Great Books minor provides Quincy University students from any major the opportunity to consult the great intellectual works of our human heritage about the core dilemmas that confront our species. Great Books classes employ close readings of classic texts and in-depth class discussions of the themes therein. Through this program, students build cultural literacy while strengthening their reading, writing, thinking, and speaking skills.
Our Great Books faculty select a list of classic texts from their disciplines. Each Great Books (GB) designated course section must include at least 50% of course readings from that list. Great Books course sections are seminars with limited enrollment.
Courses with GB sections include English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, and Theology.
