I did a Great Books program roughly similar to Hillsdale's core curriculum, except it was the entirety of my undergraduate education — there were nearly no electives (St. John's in Annapolis & Santa Fe, St. Mary's College of California's Integral Program, and a few others are the best known of these).<p>I didn't take a "computer class" until I went to graduate school for a Master of Science degree, but I had a successful career in technology before that point. There's a lot to be said for learning how to learn, among many other attributes one gains from such a course of study.<p>FWIW, there was a religious component to some of the texts, but TBH there's not a thing wrong with studying Thomas Aquinas or Augustine's Confessions regardless of how you feel about this or that religion. It's really interesting to compare Genesis and the Gospel of John, especially when you have a couple years of Greek, regardless of whether or not you pray to $DEITY. The only time I ever went into the school's chapel was to listen to a good friend give piano recitals. I'm reasonably certain Hillsdale is not a seminary and the Christian aspect shouldn't give the majority of prospective students, whether casual online or on-site resident, too much cause for worry.
