GREAT BOOKS
John A. Stevens, Director, 3314 Bate Building
The minor in great books requires a minimum of 24 s.h. and is an interdisciplinary program housed within the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences consisting of seminars on themes in the humanities, natural and social sciences and the arts. The purpose of the great books seminar is to introduce students to a Socratic way of learning through dialogue. Students read original works analytically and advance positions which are put to the test by their colleagues and the instructor. The instructor acts to introduce and guide discussion, but more as a moderator than as a lecturer. Knowledge does not pass only from teacher to student through lecture; it is discovered together through dialogue. Requirements include a minimum of 9 s.h. of courses above the 2999 level. A maximum of 6 s.h. may be used to satisfy general education requirements and requirements for the great books minor. A course may not count toward the student’s major and the great books minor. A major option is available through the BA/BS in Multidisciplinary Studeis Studies. See director for more details.
