On Monday, Claremont Graduate University was named alongside five other universities joining The Jack Miller Center’s Civics Foundations Graduate Consortium, a network providing graduate level study for K-12 civics and history teachers. New members include American University, Catholic University of America, San Diego State University, University of West Florida, and University of Wisconsin-Madison. The consortium also hosts programming at Arizona State University, University of Chicago, Utah Valley University, and Xavier University, among others.

“These universities will offer courses and programs on topics in American civics and history, ranging from the founding era to modern political thought, and focus particularly on reading and understanding primary sources,” read a news release. “Throughout Summer 2026, Consortium members will offer 15 different political science and history courses. Enrollment is open now for these tuition-free courses, and interested educators can learn more” at jackmillercenter.org.
