The Basic Program offers adults a rigorous, noncredit liberal arts curriculum that draws on the strong Socratic tradition at the University of Chicago and covers the foundations of modern Western political and social thought and literature. Read, discuss, and engage with these important texts in a dedicated community of learners, led by experienced instructors. There are no tests, papers, or grades; instead you will discuss, disagree, and discover these works in conversation with like-minded companions.

Learn more about the Basic Program through a sample classroom discussion at our information session. The 90-minute session begins with a description of the program and Q & A, followed by a discussion of a text from the curriculum selected by one of our instructors. 

Discounted parking is available in several lots near Gleacher Center. Please visit our website for more information.
