A Little About Us

Gutenberg is an accredited, four-year liberal arts college, located near the University of Oregon in Eugene. Our curriculum is based on the Great Books, and our classes are discussion-based and intimate. Our goal is to promote critical thinking and historical awareness by providing a broad-based liberal education in an environment respectful of biblical Christianity.

WHAT WE DO

The best classroom feels like a living room, not a factory.

Discussion Based

Rather than giving long speeches, our professors lead moderated discussions.

Figure it Out

Make sense of this confusing world by pursuing and scrutinizing your beliefs.

Source Texts

Our curriculum is based on the Great Books – the original influential texts of Western civilization.

Skills, Not Data

Learn more than facts and figures; learn how to think critically.

Be Vulnerable

Feel safe talking openly and honestly about politics, faith, and society.

Be Known

Most classes have fewer than 12 students. Form close relationships with fellow truth seekers.

Books read by graduation

Man is a mystery. The mystery must be solved, and even if you spend your whole life attempting to solve it, do not say you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because
I want to be a man.

-- Fyodor Dostoyevsky --

Our graduates have been accepted at some of the most prestigeous schools in the country

What do alumni think?

Because of the diversity of philosophers being taught, I came to suspect, and now can confirm, that Gutenberg offers something no other school could: the freedom to think and discover without fear of ridicule or ostracism.
Toby Johnston, Gutenberg College graduate
Gutenberg has been an invasion of my life, an event that has colored my soul. The piece of paper with two certain initials [B.A.] on it will mean so little to me in comparison with the ‘sea-change’ that the cast of my life has taken. Gutenberg is not about the mind, but rather the soul. Thus, education is but a springboard to life, and Gutenberg seems to embrace this truth with a unique force.
Axon Kirk, Gutenberg College graduate
I was forced to know what I believe and why, essentially, to start believing…to make my faith my own through my experiencing life and my increased understanding of the Bible.
Isaiah James, Gutenberg College graduate
What I thought was the best difference [between Gutenberg and other schools] was the tutors’ personal attention to the students. Also, the interaction between the upper and lower classmen. In short, I suppose, what I liked most about GC was the community I walked into…
