Director: Dr. Robert D. Anderson
The Liberal Studies in the Great Books Program, administered by the
Philosophy Department, aims to bring about a fully integrated liberal
education. Through the study of great works in the arts, literature, philosophy,

may become wiser and better human beings. The program engages the
