Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a name change—and a recommitment to the mission we’ve focused on for decades: to offer you the most engaging, enriching, and trusted learning experiences. When we launched Wondrium in 2021, we set out to redefine our mission and broaden our content beyond courses, including documentaries and other shorter forms of content. And while the new content offerings introduced us to a broader community of lifelong learners, the truth is that so many of you told us you longed for the days when we focused on academically rigorous courses and lectures—why you came to The Great Courses in the first place!

The Great Courses Plus is the streaming home of thousands of hours of engaging courses designed to enrich and improve your life. Academically comprehensive and relentlessly engaging, our courses bring lifelong learners face-to-face with trusted professors and subject matter experts on topics ranging from science and history to philosophy and religion to travel and professional growth. Always ad-free, the Great Courses Plus is the place to experience the pure joy of learning—anytime, anywhere.

The Great Courses Plus is a subscription service that allows you to stream a curated collection of courses produced by The Great Courses. You can purchase digital downloads and DVDs of individual courses at thegreatcourses.com.

By linking your accounts, you can now watch all of your purchased material from the Great Courses on the Great Courses Plus.
