About

St. John’s College in Annapolis is renowned for its distinctive "Great Books" curriculum, a rigorous interdisciplinary program where every undergraduate explores foundational texts across philosophy, literature, science, and mathematics instead of declaring a conventional major. Academic life relies entirely on small, Socratic-style seminars and tutorials led by faculty "tutors," creating a deeply collaborative, discussion-driven learning environment. Set in the historic waterfront center of Maryland’s capital, the campus culture is intensely intellectual yet close-knit, famously celebrated each spring in the college's spirited annual croquet match against the neighboring U.S. Naval Academy.
