Great Books Literature and Discussion Program use literature as the catalyst for lively seminars that build critical thinking, close reading, and civil discourse skills. Great Books students embark on an amazing intellectual journey designed to challenge and support intellectually curious minds and prepare them to take command of their own best thinking and powers of expression. Great Books delivers excellent preparation for seminar-style college classes and for the life skill of thinking well on one's feet.
Writer's Workshop is an intensive writing program offered on the campuses of Amhert College and Pepperdine University as well as Online. Aspiring young authors learn nuanced writing techniques and gain experience across genres and styles with our distinguished faculty of published authors and accomplished writers. Works well as a stand-alone program or a great addition to our traditional discussion-based Great Books literature programs.
