Founded in 1998, Harrison Middleton University provides a liberal arts curriculum and offers Master of Arts, Doctor of Arts, Doctor of Education, and a Continuing Education program. Serving independent learners, post-graduates, and working professionals, HMU supports students in the design of individualized programs of study that focus on primary sources, the history of ideas, and authors contained primarily within, but not limited to, the Great Books of the Western World published by Encyclopaedia Britannica. Shared Inquiry, a progressive and collaborative learning method developed by Mortimer Adler, Robert Hutchins, et al. at the University of Chicago, is HMU's core pedagogy, with all programs and coursework delivered at a distance, and Shared Inquiry discussions between faculty and students completed via telephone or Skype.
