American University
Washington, DC
American says that its General Education Program "allows you to test your ideas against" those of "great scholars, artists, poets, and philosophers" and "grapple with tricky ethical and political issues in the company of your classmates and under the guidance of a teacher whose main goal is to produce a space in which real learning can take place. You may discover a hidden aptitude for, or a love of, a subject area that you'd never considered before or learn to appreciate an area of human knowledge that you'd previously thought irrelevant. And through it all, you'll be finding out who you are." [Source]
