    HMU is not as "pure" as St. John's. HMU relies on the "Great Books" exclusively, and they require all students to take the same "Cornerstone Course". But beyond that, they give different students freedom to focus in different areas; in fact, the exact curriculum is supposed to be self-designed. So you can actually get different undergraduate degrees from HMU:

    Bachelor of Arts in Humanities
    Bachelor of Imaginative Literature
    Bachelor of Natural Science
    Bachelor of Philosophy and Religion
    Bachelor of Social Science
    Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Science in Education

    But even so, these tend to be pretty general compared to the majors offered at a conventional university. For example, the average undergraduate major is a lot more specific than "Humanities", "Natural Science", or "Social Science".

    I would also note that some of these degrees may not actually exist, except in theory. According to this HMU report, HMU has only issued two bachelor's degrees in recent years, both in "Humanities". For each of their other bachelor's programs, they report zero degrees issued, and total enrollments in the zero to seven range.
