text: Shimer remains among a very small number of Great Books colleges— among them Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California, The Integral Program at Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga, California, St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and will be part of Imago Dei College in Oak Glen, California when it opens in 2010. Shimer presently markets itself the "the Great Books College of Chicago".
