St. John's College

St. John's College is a beacon in American higher education. A liberal arts college is known for its distinctive "great books" curriculum, St. John's is located on two campuses that share the same curriculum in Annapolis, Maryland and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Each campus is limited to under 500 students, and the faculty-student ratio is 1 to 7. St. John's College has no religious affiliation.

The college's all-required course of study is based on the study and discussion of the most important books of the Western tradition. There are no majors and no departments, but the interdisciplinary liberal arts degree is equivalent credit-wise to a double major in philosophy and the history of math and science, and a double minor in the classics and literature. Studies also include music, history, economics, theology, and language translation. Texts are studied in chronological order across 3000 years to the modern era. The Graduate Institute also offers study in Eastern and Middle Eastern texts.
