Academics and Faculty

A Tradition of Excellence
A St. John's education commands respect across the country and around the world.

Whatever your goals, St. John's offers a program that is right for you. Students prepare for success through our six noted schools and colleges:


These schools – and the more than 100 majors they offer – allow students to explore a wide range of undergraduate and graduate disciplines. Students who change their major or career path can easily transfer to another college within the University.

Professors of Distinction
Our faculty are acclaimed scholars, approximately 90 percent of whom hold a Ph.D. or other terminal degree in their field. Many are recipients of Guggenheim, Fulbright and other distinguished fellowships.

With our low 18:1 student/faculty ratio, our students enjoy the support they deserve. Professors at St. John's impart a strong sense of values in their courses. They encourage students to draw their own conclusions based on those values. Above all, they will challenge you to achieve your goals.
