Each year, St. John’s alumni prove
there is little they can’t do. Some
choose to launch careers directly after
graduation. Nearly 70 percent pursue
advanced education; many enter the
nation’s leading business, law, and
medical schools. And the college is
in the top 2 percent of all colleges in
the nation for alumni earning PhDs
and in the top 4 percent for earning
them in science or engineering.

A St. John’s education has an
extraordinary impact on individual
lives. It places students on a lifelong
quest for self-knowledge and gives
them the means to deeply understand
and appreciate their careers and the
world that surrounds them—and those
with whom they share it.

It’s hard to put a price on a St. John’s
education, but its value is certain:
both as preparation for a lifetime of
learning and as flexible training in
critical thinking and communication,
the college’s liberal education has
few peers. Here, students are
challenged every day to think for
themselves and to consider what
others have to say. They learn to
approach new ideas and situations
with confidence and intelligence—
and to seek better solutions by
questioning accepted beliefs. Such
abilities serve them throughout
their lives and make it easy for our
graduates to distinguish themselves
in any field they choose.
