From the Institution

St. John's University is a private, coeducational, Roman Catholic University founded in 1870 by the Congregation of the Mission (the Vincentians), with its main campus in Queens, NY. St. John's promotes student success and an education that elevates through academic excellence, global studies, and a focus on service. Through course-related service activities, students learn to broaden their minds, open their hearts, and embrace their communities. St. John's combines classroom instruction with innovative approaches to pedagogy, including online and hybrid learning. Students gain real-world experience through study-abroad opportunities, and the University's Academic Service-Learning program enables students to contribute to the missions of essential social-service organizations. With a 16-to-1 student-faculty ratio, students enjoy personal attention in the classroom. The University is comprised of six colleges, including St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The School of Education, The Peter J. Tobin College of Business (including the Maurice R. Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance, and Actuarial Science), the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, The Lesley H. and William L. Collins College of Professional Studies, and the School of Law. St. John's offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programs, including 16 doctoral programs, and is primarily a commuter campus that offers on-campus residential living. St. John's is one of the nation's most diverse higher education institutions, enriched by a tapestry of cultures that complement an internationalized curriculum. Its New York City roots also give deep connections to the companies and opportunities found in one of the world's most globally connected cities.
