St. John's College

AI Overview

St. John's College offers a unique all-required Great Books curriculum where students read foundational Western texts chronologically—from Homer to Heisenberg—with no lectures or traditional majors. Classes are intimate seminars where you'll call professors by their first names and spend evenings debating Plato in the high-desert setting of Santa Fe. Students who love asking "why?" and can handle intellectual challenge without the promise of career-specific training flourish here. The kicker: no textbooks, only primary sources.
