Enduring Questions

Students in Enduring Questions participate in a sequence of courses on key questions that have preoccupied humanity for millennia, such as: What makes us human? What is justice? What does liberation mean?

In these five discussion-based classes, you bond with your professors and other students as you discuss the complexities and nuances of philosophy, religion, history, literature, art, and their interdisciplinary intersections. With one Enduring Questions class per semester, you still have plenty of room in your schedule to explore your other interests and develop your major(s)!

Enduring Questions students live together creating a close community in the same dormitory the first year. This living arrangement not only allows great conversations to continue outside the classroom, but also helps create friendships based on shared experiences.
