Or you could go to St John's College in Santa Fe. Or St John's College in Annapolis.

See https://www.sjc.edu.

Quote:
At the heart of St. John’s College undergraduate program is an interdisciplinary liberal arts curriculum focused on the most important books and ideas of Western civilization. Following the Great Books reading list, all classes are conducted seminar-style, with faculty facilitating the discussion. Areas of study include philosophy, literature, history, mathematics, economics, political theory, theology, biology, physics, music, chemistry, and languages. Our liberal arts undergraduate program is a truly comprehensive education that is perhaps the most rigorous in America.


The last I heard, they only offer one bachelors degree and two master's degrees.

I have been teaching myself various database and data analysis software, though I wonder if it will be an asset considering it wasn’t learned in a formal setting.

GIS and urban planning are the only two fields that I know with certainty I am qualified for.

I don't know a lot about it, but I've heard there are certifications you can get that people take seriously in computer science.

My daughter was interested in going there, until I found out they have maybe a 60% completion rate (which means a 40% dropout rate).
