   MoreWhat can a liberal arts education do for you? At its core, it can teach you to think more critically and to express yourself, in speech and writing, more skillfully. At Shimer, we have made that our mission for over 160 years. At Shimer, you won't touch a textbook. Our curriculum is built entirely on primary sources, both classics like Aristotle and masters in thinking about modern and contemporary culture. You take a sequence of courses in the classic disciplines (Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences) and electives like Films of Stanley Kubrick, Feminist Theories, and Abnormal Psychology. There are no lectures, only student-driven dialogue in small classes. Dialogue not just a conversation or even a debate, but a productive exchange of ideas. In our courses, students and professors explore a text in depth, asking questions, offering interpretations, disagreeing with each other. This kind of dialogue-based education enables you to discern new ideas and expand your thinking. If you want to learn to better say what you think, if you're curious and interested in ideas, a liberal arts education at Shimer might be just the thing for you. Here, we'll teach you not what to think, but how to think. Less
