St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico is the western campus of a small liberal arts college that offers bachelor and master degree programs of study. (There is an eastern campus located in Annapolis, Maryland. Which is claimed to be the third oldest college in the United States.) The course of study at St. John's is in a 'Great Books' tradition, i.e. to read and discuss Great Books. At St. john's the idea is called The Program, which is a course of study using only original material. (no modern textbooks) Small seminars and preceptorials in addition to labs constitute the format for shared learning. The idea being to "encourage teaching and learning by discussion, rather than by lecture. This idea is pervasive in places like Oxford, Cambridge, University of Chicago and other non western oriented centers of higher learning. The Program was created by Stringfellow Barr and Scott Buchanan in 1937 and continues to this day. There are about 400 students on each campus which makes for an intimate and very personal education.

St. John's College is a unique institution and highly thought of in the academic world. (See Wikipedia on Google) St. John's is listed in Loren Pope's Colleges that Change Lives, suggesting that St. John's College offers more of an education than Ivy League schools. A high number of St. John's College graduates go on to earn Doctorates or professional degrees.

It is also noteworthy that the Annapolis Maryland campus competes annually against the US Naval Academy Midshipmen for The Annapolis Cup in the sporting game of croquet. St. John's has the honor of having won many more times than their next door neighbor's the Navy Midshipmen. A fun tradition for sure.

Stayed in the dorms while participating in a graduate workshop. Great staff, engaging students, and idyllic setting.

A unique curriculum and learning environment. A lot to be gained by the student that engages the literature and the process fully.

I attended the freshman year there. As long as I can remember I have always tried to tackle the profound in religion, philosophy and literature. If these depths can truly be plumed outside of a divine epiphany this would be the place to do it. Not only are you studying the most outstanding literary works of the western world with truly outstanding scholars you are surrounded by a marvelous landscape. Each evening in the dining room you witness as the sun go down over the Sangre de Cristo mountain range on the horizon.

My attempts to plumb these depths were vapid and vacuous until sometime later I stumbled upon Jesus on the way, who is indeed profundity itself.

This school has all that serious scholarship can offer in all the most serious of implications within a liberal arts context.

To top it off: it is located just a few miles away from the Pecos Wilderness Area where you can backpack and hike to the nth degree, dismiss the folly of mankind's great thinkers and contemplate the Divine in HIs handiwork

Excellent college! One of a kind. For the serious student who wants to aquire a profound culture and knowledge. Education for a life time. Students learn to think, as oppose to just go through courses. You can find thoughtful friends who share the same interests. It's also fun and the school buildings and grounds are absolutely gorgeous surrounded by stunning geography. You can hike and go skiing or to the opera in town. You got it all there: great education and stunning and relaxing country. If you don't visit you will never know.
