Lyceum Program at Clemson University

Lyceum Scholars Program

Open to incoming freshmen, the Lyceum curriculum develops students' faculties of inquiry and ignites their passion for knowledge. It presents students with ideas that are fundamental, timeless, and life-changing.

The Program uses a Great Books approach to studying liberty, free markets, the American Founding and moral character. All Lyceum Scholars are given a "Socratic tutor" who will closely monitor and guide their intellectual development for their entire four-year education.

Those interested in becoming Lyceum Scholars should apply in their senior year of high school to Clemson University and to the Lyceum Scholars Program.

The application for Fall 2018 is now open. The priority deadline to apply will be December 11, 2017.

Application can be found at the following website, www.clemson.edu/capitalism/lyceum.html.
