The low student-to-faculty ratio of 7:1 contributes to the No. 8 ranking for “Best Classroom Experience” by Princeton Review.

Johnnies study more than 200 great books, texts, and works in what is often called the most rigorous curriculum in America.

St. John’s undergraduate tuition of $35,000 is one of the most affordable among top liberal arts colleges in the country.

The Graduate Institute offers two master’s degrees: one in Liberal Arts and one in the Eastern Classics of Asia.

Half of all Johnnies do at least one internship, many of which are fully-funded through the Hodson and Ariel internship programs.

The Princeton Review ranks St. John’s as fifth best in the country for top professors. Of course, at St. John’s we call them “tutors.”

Most Johnnies live on campus in Annapolis or Santa Fe, including all freshmen and sophomores.

Santa Fe sits at a rarified 7,000 feet with access to 478 miles of hiking and biking trails. 79 ski trails are 15 miles uphill from campus.

The Annapolis campus is just 30 minutes from Washington, D.C., making it one of the best colleges for politically engaged students.

St. John’s has two campuses in two state capitals: Santa Fe, New Mexico and Annapolis, Maryland.

Johnnies hold the national collegiate croquet championship title and last year beat the US Naval Academy 3-2 at the world-famous Annapolis Cup.

Johnnies have been reading great books since 1696 (when we were called “King William School”), making St. John’s the third oldest college in the United States.

Ranked as the college sending the highest number of students to PhD programs in the humanities, St. John’s sends students to pursue advanced degrees and directly into dozens of fascinating careers.

St. John’s is in the top 4% for the number of students receiving PhDs in science and engineering. The curriculum includes four years of advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology.

St. John’s has no majors, but if you add up the credits, the degree would include a double major in philosophy and the history of math and science, plus a double minor in literature and classics.
