Great Schools of Dune is a trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson that picks up after the events of the Legends of Dune series. Set in the period following the Butlerian Jihad, the books show the founding of the institutions that define the Dune universe: the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats, and the Spacing Guild. The series includes Sisterhood of Dune (2011), Mentats of Dune (2014), and Navigators of Dune (2016).

The series bridges the gap between the distant past of the Butlerian Jihad and the events of the original Dune. By focusing on the origins of these organizations, Herbert and Anderson added depth to institutions that Frank Herbert had presented as ancient and established, showing the political and personal struggles behind their creation.
