FWIW, I went to a liberal arts university and our Great Books course was the best I took. Fall of your freshman year, two professors, ~100 pages written over the semester. 11 works from the Iliad to Dante (more or less one per week).
Yes, I got my butt kicked by it but every course after that was comparatively easier because of the rigor of that course and the mindset it left me with.
