St. John's College Reviews

"An excellent environment for a self-motivated learner who enjoys broad, overlapping fields of inquiry. In many ways, you will receive one of the greatest possible educations at this school: learning to examine whatever is in front of you and find a way to succeed with it. However, this school is not for everyone. You will not receive a targeted education in a particular field, but rather a solid grounding in the nature of examination and thought that you can apply to any field. If you want a targeted education, plan to go to graduate school as well."

"If you are looking for a college experience where you will do real learning about yourself, the human race, and the world around you, this is the school for you. You will emerge a better version of yourself when you graduate, but don't expect to know what you will wantcto do job wise. St Johns is about so much more than what job to get."

"Pros - Great Books Program Focus on Dialogue Cons- N/A"

"The Liberal Arts Masters Program at St. John's College in Annapolis is something everyone, regardless of current education level or career aspirations, would do well to undertake. Students who complete this program will be prepared to contribute meaningfully to the world through thoughtful reasoning and quality communication. I recommend this program most highly."

"Not a program for the faint of heart or overly pragmatic. But if you're looking to challenge your way of thinking and grapple with highest order ideas, St. John's is the place for you."

"This is St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM, not Annapolis. The most beneficial aspect of this program is to teach students to think for themselves. We study primary texts, not using secondary text, and commentaries are based on disucssions in class. We design our own commentaries, thinking through the texts and trying to grasp the meanings without the influence of scholars who have studied these texts for ages. This is most beautiful and challenging."
