Learning with the Latest Technology

A St. John’s education gives you limitless opportunities to broaden your mind, be inspired, and discover your place in the world.

A Global City and a World Campus

A globally-minded ethos of servant leadership forms the backbone of our Vincentian “institutional DNA,” and guides the way we envision, support, and nurture education and collaboration. We welcome the world at St. John’s, and we invite you to explore all that we have to offer in New York, Rome, Paris, and through our engagement with international partners.

Faithful to the Mission

Why stop at making your mark? At St. John’s, you help make the world a better place. We create opportunities for students to gain inspiration from their individual faith traditions by volunteering, fighting injustice, and serving those in need.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

A dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion is at the heart of our mission. As a Catholic and Vincentian university, St. John’s is committed to institutionalizing practices of inclusive excellence to ensure that we welcome and celebrate the intrinsic worth of all members of our community.

We will become an even stronger University as we enhance equity at every level of our institution. As noted in our Vision Statement, our graduates will excel in the competencies and values required for leadership and service in a rapidly evolving world.

We Are New York's Team

An Alumni Network That Opens Doors

You can always find a way to give back to the St. John's family. The University offers a wide range of alumni associations and chapters, receptions and outings, giving societies, and opportunities to mentor or volunteer.

Loyalty Matters

The University has established the new SJYOU Loyal society to celebrate alumni, employees, and friends of St. John’s who faithfully provide annual gifts to our University. This new society recognizes individuals who make a gift for two or more consecutive fiscal years (June 1–May 31). Gifts may be designated to any area of the University.
