St. John's College is a private liberal arts college with campuses in Annapolis, Maryland, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. As the successor institution of King William's School, a preparatory school founded in 1696, St. John's is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the United States;[6][7] the current institution received a collegiate charter in 1784.[8] In 1937, St. John's adopted a Great Books curriculum based on discussion of works from the Western canon of philosophical, religious, historical, mathematical, scientific, and literary works.
The college grants a single bachelor's degree in liberal arts. The awarded degree is equivalent to a double major in philosophy and the history of mathematics and science, and a double minor in classical studies and comparative literature.[9][10] Two master's degrees are available through the college's graduate institute: one in liberal arts, which is a modified version of the undergraduate curriculum, and one in Eastern Classics, which applies a Great Books curriculum to a list of classic works from India, China, and Japan.[11]
St. John's College in Annapolis is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools; St. John's in Santa Fe is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
St. John's College Annapolis today announced that the school has received $35.1 million from the Hodson Trust, bringing the college's total endowment to $244.5 million and providing its students with an additional $1.8 million in financial scholarship support annually.
