The Staten Island Campus of St. John's University provides degree offerings from four of the
University schools.
St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences
St. John’s College (SJC) is the liberal arts and sciences
college of the Staten Island campus, located on the first floor of
Flynn Hall (Room 102). We offer programs leading to the
Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science, as well as the
Associate degree of Liberal Arts.
Earning a degree in the liberal arts and sciences enables
students to choose from a wide array of career paths.
Students who are undecided about what they would like to major in
are certainly welcome into our college, and we even have programs
specifically designed with those students in mind. Students
who are interested in law, or medicine, or even business – are all
welcome to any of our majors.
Undergraduate students are quite often concerned with the
question: “What can I do with this major when I graduate?”
This is a very common question because the liberal arts and
sciences provide students with a broad learning experience, and a
single major can translate into countless career
opportunities. The communication and critical thinking skills
that one gains from being a liberal arts and sciences major are
exactly the types of skills employers hope to find in their newly
hired employees, in any field of work. In other words,
one’s major doesn’t always correlate with a job title – like it
would in a trade school. Instead, the opportunities are more
diverse, and students who graduate with a liberal arts and sciences
degree work in every career field imaginable!
During the Freshman year, students are all advised by our
hard-working and knowledgeable staff in the University Freshman
Center (101 Flynn Hall). During this time, students are
encouraged to consider all possibilities for their majors and their
careers, and are welcome at any time to stop into the SJC office,
right across the hall, to find out more about the possibilities
that a degree in the liberal arts and sciences has to offer.
Students may choose any of the majors, minors, and special programs
listed below. Students who choose to major in another college
are also welcome to choose any of these minors or specials
programs, or even to have a double major.
The School of Education
The objectives of the School of Education are to foster a
culture of academic excellence and a commitment to moral values, to
provide for the professional development of faculty and students,
to support and encourage excellence in teaching and scholarly
research and to serve as a partner and resource to the larger
educational community.
College of Professional Studies
The mission of the College of Professional Studies is to provide
our students with an ethically driven, academically rigorous
education for new and evolving professions, consistent with
University planning and direction, and grounded in intellectual
excellence focused on a global community.
The College of Professional Studies, committed to academic
excellence and student-centeredness, will design, develop, and
deliver professionally oriented undergraduate and graduate degree
programs. Through a clear focus on interdisciplinary
education in the professions, the faculty will fuse traditional
liberal education with current, new and evolving disciplines and
technologies. Graduates will be enabled to pursue successful
careers, demonstrate ethics in their practice, and compete in the
global community.
The Peter J. Tobin College of
Business
The Peter J. Tobin College of Business prepares graduates for
rewarding managerial and professional careers. The
educational programs combined with progressive technology provide
the practical experience, solid knowledge base, strong ethical
foundation and global perspective graduates need to make immediate
and valuable contributions as business professionals.

group of business schools accredited by the AACSB International-
the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. It
