Recognizing that St. John's is Staten Island's only University,
we are looking for students who exhibit high qualities of
leadership in their religious institutions, community groups,
service organizations, or those who aspire to become these leaders
now and into the 21st century. Those students accepted into the
three-year degree program, will form a cadre of people
who want to make a contribution to the nation and to the
world.
Admission Requirements

University, St. John's is seeking students who:

- Look forward to becoming global leaders
- Are committed to serving those who are most in need

The New York Times reported in late October, 2010, that the
average college debt rose to $24,000. This is the approximate
amount that will be saved by the three-year program, one of
the first of its kind in the nation.
