 | About two-thirds of Shimer students participate in the weekday program where they enjoy a traditional four-year residential college experience. You will participate in our small classes and then continue the conversation at meals, in the residences, and at on-campus events that include lectures, theatre and music. |
| The Core Curriculum, which immerses students in the major works, questions, and methods of 2000 years of the Western intellectual tradition, accounts for about two-thirds of the course work. The other third consists of elective courses that go in-depth in a particular field. The study of classic texts, in discussion classes of 12 students or fewer, offers a uniquely rigorous and stimulating four-year liberal arts education.
