Laurea in Arti Liberali

The academic program at Gutenberg is different from most colleges. Students do not sit in large lecture classes but actively participate in small discussion-based classes. Rather than reading textbooks that describe ideas, students read the great thinkers’ works firsthand. Rather than being one of the thousands of students studying at an impersonal institution, Gutenberg students are part of a small, family-like institution. Finally, rather than narrowing their education with early specialization, students take the same courses. There are no majors and no electives, although there are occasionally optional courses. Students enter as cohorts and spend four years with their classmates, learning from the faculty's texts, but mostly from each other.

Gutenberg College is an educational institution that exists to educate individuals and foster understanding of the biblical worldview and a desire to pursue truth conscientiously. Gutenberg seeks to accomplish this mission through an undergraduate “Great Books” liberal arts program.

At Gutenberg College, education is a means to an end. The goal is mature adults who know how to live well—people who have carefully crafted a sound worldview and have acquired the knowledge and skills to live productive and constructive lives. Toward this end, Gutenberg College’s four-year undergraduate program offers an accredited Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Liberal Arts.
