It’s important to point out that looking at grad school rankings may not translate well into undergraduate educational quality. For instance, Berkeley dominates UChicago in English, and a fair perusal of each school’s respective PhD program in that subject will show that Berkeley’s placement and time to graduation are also superior to UChicago’s. Does this mean that Berkeley has a better humanities experience for the undergrads than does UChicago? No. If one prefers a Great Books approach, there are Hum and Sosc sections that will give them something along those lines. It’s not St. John’s, but UChicago is a top R1 and there is more to undergraduate education there than a Great Books program. Anyone curious as to how Moritmer Adler’s Great Books influenced the Core we see today at UChicago should read Boyer’s essay that is linked in the Chicago Maroon article. It’s a fascinating read.
