The Great Courses are uniquely crafted for lifelong learners like you, with engaging, immersive learning experiences you can’t get in a lecture hall.
The secret ingredient is YOU. Great Courses learners are involved at every step of the process, helping to choose course subjects and select professors from the thousands that are screened each year.
The course creation process that follows involves so much more than just placing a camera in the back of a classroom. Great Courses surrounds the world’s greatest teachers with a team of experts who collaborate on crafting a customized and entertaining educational journey that’s both comprehensive and fascinating.
What you don’t get are the trappings of a university that you no longer need or want. There are no exams. No homework assignments. No prerequisites. An easy to use DVD format that fits your life. Watch on a TV or on a laptop while taking notes.
From concept, to development, to custom content & visual design, each of The Great Courses is an unparalleled educational experience designed with people like you in mind.
