About
The Great Courses is a lecture library published by The Teaching Company, founded in 1990. It offers more than 500 courses taught by university professors across history, science, mathematics, philosophy, religion, literature, music, and practical skills. Courses are sold as DVDs, digital downloads, or streamed through The Great Courses Plus (Wondrium) and Audible. Each course includes 12 to 48 thirty-minute lectures plus a printed or digital guidebook. Homeschool high school students use select courses for history, science, and literature survey, though none carry accredited credit by themselves.
