37°38′18″N 113°15′00″W / 37.638279°N 113.250053°W George Wythe University (GWU) is a private, unaccredited,[4] liberal arts university in Cedar City, Utah. GWU's curriculum is centered on the Great Books of Western Civilization and uses discussion-based classes facilitated by mentors.[5] The school focuses primarily on leadership education and is dedicated specifically to building "statesmen", which it defines as "men and women of virtue, wisdom, diplomacy and courage, who inspire greatness in others and move the cause of liberty."[6] GWU offers one undergraduate degree with four minors and three graduate degrees.[7]
History
Beginnings
GWU was founded as George Wythe College (GWC) by Oliver DeMille, from Utah who sought to establish a school for the purpose of training statesmen in the way Thomas Jefferson and other signers of the U.S. Constitution were trained by George Wythe, the first law professor in the American colonies.[8] DeMille's inspiration for such an establishment resulted from his own desire for this kind of education after reading the account of Jefferson’s tutelage under Wythe in W. Cleon Skousen’s book, The Making of America, and DeMille’s subsequent relationship with Skousen as his own mentor.[8]
Skousen began by assigning books and writings to DeMille and following up with discussion.[8] An associate of Skousen’s, Donald N. Sills, suggested DeMille could earn a college degree for his work through mentorship and work submission, through Coral Ridge Baptist University (CRBU)[8] a Bible college and seminary, that merged with Freedom University. According to DeMille, his studies often consumed over 80 hours per week[9] and set the example for the curriculum he would later implement at George Wythe College.[10]
Founding
DeMille, Sills, and William H. Doughty organized George Wythe College (GWC) in 1992 as a subsidiary of the Institute for Constitutional Education with Sills as president, and the school opened that fall as a Utah branch of CRBU.[10] With 31 students and little funding, the initial weeks of class were held in remodeled garage space at the Meadeau View Lodge in Duck Creek, Utah while awaiting completion of the adjacent conference center.[11] DeMille, Doughty, and Shanon Brooks (later GWU president) served as the three original faculty. The semester after moving to the conference center, heavy snowfall ruptured a gas line underneath the structure, leading to an explosion and fire that left the building unusable.[12] No students were injured, and a new GWC location was found in an office building in nearby Cedar City, Utah.[13] With the initial donors now salvaging their building, the only remaining funding source was tuition itself.[13] This led to a budgetary crisis, leaving DeMille as the sole full-time faculty member in the school's second year while finishing his studies with CRBU.[13] The hire of part-time instructors from other local colleges helped the fledgling school survive this crisis.[14]
Over the next several years the school awarded bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees across a range of subjects, including Finance,[15] Youth and Family Counseling,[16] History,[17] Near Eastern Studies,[18] Education,[19] and Psychology.[20]In 1997 a steering committee formalized the school’s comprehensive academic program, integrating the methodology, motto and mission into a cohesive educational model which it called the Five Pillars of Statesmanship.[21] In 1999, George Wythe Foundation was created to commence fundraising efforts,[22] and by 2000 the college expanded its faculty and administration to include 13 employees plus support staff.[23]
Independence and growth
In January 2002, the college became independent from CRBU through a transfer of ownership to the George Wythe Foundation.[22] At this time the school realigned its policies and narrowed its degree programs to the four specific degrees that most closely matched its mission, namely: B.A in Statesmanship; M.A. degrees in Political Economy and Education; and a Ph.D in Constitutional Law. This notably reduced the religious emphasis that existed previously.[22]
In the wake of the economic slump that followed the 9/11 terrorist attacks, enrollment declined and the school was unable to pay its employees. For several months, many faculty and staff volunteered without pay.[24] To financially recover, the college expanded its programs through extension and seminar courses across the Western U.S., established the GWC Press, created an audio/visual department to generate revenue from recorded lectures (given by DeMille and other faculty members), and pursued a series of corporate speaking contracts.[25]
In 2004 the college held 58 seminars, accepted 12 speaking engagements, and delivered 18 off-campus extension courses. Total enrollment for the Fall 2004 semester was 137 students (campus plus extension courses) and 129 distance students—for a combined student body of 266. Numerous part-time faculty were hired on a semester or annual basis, most of them professors at Southern Utah University, and a few from Brigham Young University, Dixie College and University of Las Vegas.[26]
That same year, GWU held its first fundraising gala and announced plans to acquire a larger facility, resulting in approximately $300,000 in pledges and donations.[26] In January 2005 the school moved to its current location in the Providence Center in Cedar City, Utah.[26]
Expansion
In 2006 a master plan was presented for reorganizing under a university model with ten colleges and multiple campuses.[27] In August 2008 the school broke ground on the second of these in Monticello, Utah. Temporary headquarters were set up in the former Hyland Hotel and classes were held with 19 students.[28] The third campus is being planned for Alberta, Canada. [29] Based on its offerings of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs, and with operations on multiple campuses and extension facilities across the western United States, the school legally registered with university status in March 2008[30] and completed the transition with an official announcement five months later in August.[31]
In February 2009 the school announced plans to expand the delivery of courses through live virtual classrooms over the internet. This announcement coincided with the appointment of Andrew Groft as the university’s new president.[32]
Academics
Curriculum
As a classical liberal arts school, curriculum is based on the Great Books of the Western Tradition but with an additional emphasis on preparing students to become "statesmen prepared for leadership." The purpose is two-fold: first, "to provide a broad, quality liberal arts education" and secondly, "to train students to be virtuous, skilled and effective leaders in families, communities, businesses and governments of the twenty-first century."[33] Class sizes are small with a 7:1 student/faculty ratio.[34] Subjects are studied primarily through original sources and include philosophy, history, mathematics, science, literature, political science, political economy and art. Coursework requirements center on extensive reading of the classics from each discipline, writing, oral and written examinations and practica.[33][35]
Becoming Statesman: To build men and women of virtue, wisdom, diplomacy, and courage who inspire greatness in others and move the cause of liberty.[36]
GWU Mission Statement
Methodology
GWU uses a methodology called "The Five Pillars of Leadership Education," which, according to the school, follows a pattern of learning that has produced leaders throughout history.[37] This methodology consists of:
- Classics: GWU uses this term to mean "original works of depth and substance--writing, painting, sculpture, philosophy, music, theory, law, etc.--that engage the student in the great questions of life"[38] and is used interchangeably with the term Great Books.
- Mentors: Full-time faculty members or adjunct faculty with topical expertise who lead discussion, offer lectures, and meet with students regularly to offer guidance. Courses are taught seminar style with students discussing texts around a table and the mentor using the Socratic method of asking questions to invite the students to think deeply about the subject.[39][40]
- Simulations: Introduced into American education by law professor George Wythe as the moot court. Simulations give students an opportunity to practice what they have learned in a fictional setting and "consist of mock congresses, moot courts, business planning, model UN and various other fictional and real scenarios where students take on roles and work individually and in teams to identify and solve problems."[41]
- Field Experience: A type of internship used to help students implement their learning in real situations. Students are required to perform three field-experiences in order to graduate. Practica must be approved by the Graduation Committee and followed up by a comprehensive written report detailing what was learned. "Field Experience practica may include substantive jobs, internships, volunteer work, etc."[42]
- God: As a non-denominational institution, students are encouraged to respect the various religious backgrounds of all students and faculty. Students are encouraged to study from their own religious texts. Although mentors may refer to religious texts from various cultures, the Holy Bible is considered to be one of the greatest classics in the curriculum.[43]
Programs
GWC currently offers four degrees: B.A. in Statesmanship,[44] M.A. in Political Economy,[45] M.A. in Education,[45] and Ph.D. in Constitutional Law.[46]
Course Credit
Undergraduate degrees require 138 credits. Credits earned in both on-campus and off-campus programs count toward graduation. Distance studies are supplemented with telephone mentoring and conference-call group discussions.[47] Students are required to perform three field-experiences worth a total of 6 credits."[48] The university may also award a maximum of 30 hours of life experience credit "for practical work of exceptional quality which has academic value." This credit is awarded on a case-by-case basis, and only by thorough documentation of time invested and quality of academic work.[49]
Accreditation
GWU is not accredited, although school leadership has discussed seeking accreditation for several years.[50][51] It completed an application with the American Academy for Liberal Education (AALE) in September 2006.[52] AALE made a 4-day site visit to GWU in October 2008.[53][54] The school is listed on the AALE website as one of its applicants for accreditation.[55] AALE specializes in the accreditation of institutes of higher learning with a liberal arts focus. The school has said it "anticipates a decision" in the Spring of 2009.[52]
Accreditation would enable students to obtain Pell Grants and federally-subsidized student loans. According to the school, lack of accreditation also makes it difficult for students to enter graduate programs at accredited universities.[56] The school does not offer statistics on how many students with degrees exclusively from GWC have attended outside graduate programs. The Statesman newsletter reports one student being admitted to law school at the University of Oklahoma[56] and another at Pepperdine University,[57] both mentioning high LSAT scores. A third graduate attended South Texas College of Law, who also had obtained a B.A. from Brigham Young University before applying to law school.[58][59]
Faculty
George Wythe College has among its faculty 23 administrators, professors, Mentors, Associate Mentors (graduate students), and adjuncts, some of whom are GW's original founders.[60]

In addition, student research and writings are often featured[67][68][69][70]. "The Statesman" also regularly reports on the post-graduate accomplishments of alumni[71][72].
Campus
Cedar City
GWU's Cedar City campus consists of a single 6,500 square foot building that contains all classrooms, faculty and administrative offices, including a special collections library and bookstore for students.[73] The school currently has a library use agreement with Southern Utah University.[74] GWU also provides internet-enabled workstations on campus, as well as wireless internet access.[74] The school does not provide on-campus housing.
Monticello
Plans for GW's Monticello campus include 42 acres with an adjacent 200-acre reserve.[75] Some of the land for the campus was donated to the foundation while some was purchased, totaling 520 total acres.[76] In February 2009, DeMille announced that due to the economic crisis, plans for the Monticello campus would shift to a smaller campus model in the near future that "will grow beyond this recession" and that operations in Cedar City would be restructured to save costs while emphasizing an expansion of virtual classroom instruction.[77]
Student life
GWU's on-campus student body consists of 130-150 students with the male/female ratio approximately even. Roughly 1/3 of students are private school graduates, 1/3 from public school and 1/3 homeschooled. The school sponsors several formal dinners, galas, receptions, lectures, balls and special events each year.[78] Student life also incorporates the attractions of Cedar City, Utah, including the Utah Summer Games and the Utah Shakespearean Festival.[78]
Statesmanship Invitational
In lieu of traditional athletics, students participate in a week long competitive team simulation called the Statesmanship Invitational.[79] During this event, students are divided into teams and presented a high stakes political crisis scenario. Roles are assigned and students engage in strategic planning and diplomatic negotiations over the course of several days until an outcome is reached.
Housing
Students typically rent from private home owners or multi-unit housing developments which provide student housing for both Southern Utah University and GWU students.
Tuition and financial aid
Undergraduate on-campus tuition and fees are $2,950 per semester, with online tuition and fees of $2,150. Part-time online students pay $1,250 per semester and a per-course option of $500 per class is also available. Tuition and fees for Masters students is $3,450 for on-campus studies, or $2,550 for online. Doctoral students pay $3,950 for on-campus tuition and fees, or $3,150 for online studies. Part-time and course-by-course options are also available for graduate and post-graduate students.[80]
GWU assists its students in locating scholarships, private funding and grants for education costs.[81] Federal financial aid is not available to students due to the school's accreditation status.
Other programs
Continuing Education
GWU is the frequent host of conferences and workshops to facilitate continuing education for non-traditional students, public and private educators and homeschooling parents.[82][83] Ongoing programs include the Summer Seminar Series, Thomas Jefferson Education Conventions, and the facilitation of final oral exams for the Five Pillar Certification program. Five Pillars Certification involves the study of literary classics, written scholarly commentary on the readings, teaching practicum and a final oral defense. GWU also promotes the Face to Face with Greatness Seminars, a series of three two-day seminars which are held in cities across North America[84]. GWU is also the publisher of books, articles and audio resources that correspond with its workshops, seminars and general educational design.

Every other year, students and faculty travel through Europe for a month, stopping in historic venues for lectures and discussion of classic literature. Optional academic credit is available for submission of related coursework.[85][86]
Leadership Education Uganda
LEU conducts teacher training classes in leadership methodologies using students, graduates and associates of George Wythe University. Student research informed the approach of the project.[87] LEU began with one mentor teaching eight teachers in two schools. In less than one year the program grew to include 10 mentors teaching 160 teachers in 8 schools.[88][89][90][91]
Youth conferences
GWU hosts one- to three-day Youth for America conferences in the Summer, for youth between the ages of 12 and 18. Youth participate in book discussions, simulations and lectures on topics ranging from study skills to good government and classic literature.[92]

Given the quality of my undergraduate education, it was perhaps inevitable that I would end up pursuing intellectual challenge once again in my postgraduate life. I was able to score high on the LSAT and received several excellent scholarship offers from various schools, which is proof that graduation from an unaccredited school is no impediment to mainstream recognition. I attribute this to the excellent writing and analytical skills GWC had helped me develop, along with the various valuable internships and experiences I had done during the course of my education. If GWC's lack of accreditation had any negative impact on my law school application process, I certainly did not perceive it.
