Johnnies have a unique education that helps them to lead meaningful lives and succeed across diverse professional fields—often trailblazing new and creative ways to make an impact. At St. John’s College, we are committed to preparing our students for life after college both in and out of the classroom: through the Program and through on-going professional development, funded internships and fellowships, and graduate school preparation.

Internships

How do St. John’s-funded internships work?

St. John’s College provides our students with the opportunity to secure funding for unpaid summer internships in a variety of fields. Each comes with a $4,000 stipend, which can be used for internship-related student needs such as housing and travel. Students have interned in national science laboratories, Congressional offices, publishing houses, investment firms, nonprofits and more. On average, approximately half of Johnnies have completed a St. John’s-funded internship by the time they graduate—and the college is committed to raising that number over time.

In Santa Fe, our internship program is called the ARIEL Internship. In Annapolis, it is called the Hodson Trust Internship. All are donor-funded and the college is grateful to our donors for this generous support. To see a list of recent internships undertaken by our students, visit our careers data page.

Fellowships

What kinds of fellowships do we help students attain?

St. John’s College students take advantage of two types of fellowships. The first is college-funded fellowships for supplemental coursework and career-advancement opportunities that will help prepare students for graduate school or a career.  The second is national fellowship programs such as the Fulbright, Beinecke, and Davis Projects for Peace Fellowships.

The college-funded fellowships are referred to as Pathways. They provide students with up to $5,000 to take courses, earn professional certificates, or attend conferences. With a Pathways grant students may enroll, for example, in pre-medical courses for medical school, art classes in preparation of a portfolio review, or education courses to earn a license to teach in public school.

There are two kinds of Pathways fellowships: General Pathways, which fund summer programs in the United States, and Global Pathways, which fund international study. Global Pathways are only available on the Santa Fe campus. All are funded by our generous St. John’s College donors. To see where students have recently completed their Pathways fellowships, visit our careers data page.

The second type of fellowship is national fellowship programs that are available to all college students in the United States. Programs like the Fulbright U.S. Student program, the Beinecke Scholarship, and the Davis Foundation Projects for Peace offer a wide variety of opportunities, including post-graduate research overseas, funding for graduate studies in the U.S., and summer projects to promote peace abroad.

Staff at Career Services in Annapolis and the Office of Personal and Professional Development assist students throughout the application process.

Graduate School Pathways

What graduate schools do our students attend?

St. John’s College is known in higher education for our rigorous, classical liberal arts education. Our reputation, combined with our students’ academic readinesses, helps students gain acceptance into some of the top colleges and universities in the world: from the London School of Economics to Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. Graduates also study at great arts schools like Rhode Island School of Design, Julliard, and the Sorbonne; at top STEM schools like MIT, CalTech, and Johns Hopkins; and at local state schools and regional universities across the country including our own regional favorites: the University of Maryland and the University of New Mexico.

For Employers

Johnnies are self-directed learners, original thinkers, and problem-solvers.

Throughout their four years at the college, Johnnies analyze more than 200 of the most influential texts and thinkers from across 3,000 years of Western thought: from Plato and Pascal to Adam Smith and Albert Einstein. They learn the foundations of mathematics and the sciences by conducting hands-on proofs and experiments, beginning with Euclid and journeying through Darwin and Faraday. They read, write, discuss, and dissect the trajectory of knowledge—literally and figuratively.

Johnnies are self-directed learners who thrive with new and challenging material. They are are sharp analysts, creative and courageous thinkers, and clear communicators. They work well in teams, too: they know how to listen, they know how to ask questions, and they know that collaborative inquiry works better for everyone. The end result? Johnnies excel at solving difficult and new problems—just like the ones facing every organization today.
