Shimer College Shimer College,  a small liberal arts college in Chicago, Illinois, is a school with a difference. The focus is on reading, discussing and writing to develop critical thinking.
The Weekend Program for adult students meets every third weekend - all day Saturday and Sunday. This schedule allows students to take a full course load each term. There's also an overseas study program at Oxford, where students study under a Shimer faculty member and Oxford tutors. The Shimer style appeals to self-motivated, individualistic students seeking a strong foundation in liberal studies. Students develop a lifelong habit of inquiry and a love of learning, which may account for the large percentage of Shimer students who go on to earn doctorates. (Shimer ranked third in a study of schools sending the most students on to earn a Ph.D.) In fact, many feel their undergraduate experience is already at the graduate school level. Top |
