Wow, an interesting looking college:
St. John’s College is a co-educational, four year liberal arts college known for its distinctive “great books” curriculum.
The all-required course of study is based on the reading, study, and discussion of the most important books of the Western tradition. There are no majors and no departments; all students follow the same program.
Students study from the classics of literature, philosophy, theology, psychology, political science, economics, history, mathematics, laboratory sciences, and music. No textbooks are used. The books are read in roughly chronological order, beginning with ancient Greece and continuing to modern times.
All classes are discussion-based. There are no class lectures; instead, the students meet together with faculty members (called tutors) to explore the books being read.
Another school I’ve looked at is Evergreen, but the only colleges I’ve applied to are pretty run of the mill… I don’t like school much.
