St. John's
College

St. John's College is a co-educational, four-year, liberal arts college with no religious affiliation. It was founded in 1696 and has two campuses, one in Annapolis, Maryland and another in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Students may attend both campuses in the course of their studies. The College awards both Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees.

The program of study is all-required and non-departmental. Through the reading of original texts, students reflect on the great questions of Western tradition from ancient Greece to modern times. The curriculum includes study in the classics of literature, philosophy, theology, psychology, political science, economics, history, mathematics, laboratory sciences, music and the visual arts.

St. John's College is located on a 36-acre campus in Annapolis, Maryland. It is a registered National Historic Landmark and lies in the heart of the Historic District, across the street from the Naval Academy. Situated at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River, Annapolis is one of the best preserved colonial towns in America, with a flourishing fish, crab and oyster industry and major recreational and sailing activities. The capital of Maryland, Annapolis was first settled in the 17th century. It was here that George Washington resigned his command of the Continental Army, and where, three weeks later, the Treaty of Paris was signed, ending the Revolutionary War.

Approximately 60 percent of St. John's students receive need-based financial aid. Two of the most prestigious aid programs offered are the Hodson Scholars awards and the Hodson Foundation Scholarships, which are awarded for four years to those students attending the Annapolis, Maryland campus who demonstrate academic promise and finanicial need. Through these two programs, St. John's College and The Hodson Trust are helping to ensure that economic circumstances will not stand in the way of a student's entry into St. John's College and completion of its program of studies.
