Minor in Great Texts

The Great Texts minor is designed for students who are interested in studying the classics of the Western tradition with an emphasis on the perennial questions and concerns that have shaped human reflection. The 21-hour interdisciplinary course of study will cultivate an understanding of how persons, values, philosophies, theologies, and cultural practices have shaped and permeated the Western world within a global context, including that of Christianity, and will help prepare students to speak, write, and reason more effectively for a variety of careers and graduate degrees.
