Because Shimer College is different from most other colleges in a number of ways, there are several different groups of schools that are "like" Shimer in one way or another. Other Great Books schools include St. John's College, Gutenberg College, and St. Thomas Aquinas College. Among these, however, there is no college with Shimer's tradition of cultural openness and self-governance. Other small colleges with traditions of openness and self-governance include Marlboro College and Deep Springs College. However, none of these schools has anything like Shimer's Great Books program.
