Grow as a Thinker and Leader
Elevate your critical thinking and leadership through advanced study in the liberal arts.
The University of Chicago Graham School offers liberal arts programs and courses that foster a deeper understanding of the world though interdisciplinary perspectives on society, culture, literature, philosophy, history, and the arts.
Lifelong study of the liberal arts builds skills in critical thinking and analysis that help students navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world with insight and empathy for others who come from diverse backgrounds.
We offer several multi-year programs that will provide you with the resources and frameworks to address fundamental questions about human existence, society, ethics, and the nature of knowledge. Students in these programs develop their skills in close reading and analysis, delving into the meaning, structure, and context of the works they study. In discussions guided by expert instructors, Graham School students rigorously and systematically engage with influential texts.
