Saint John's University

Mission

Saint John's University provides a liberal arts education in the Catholic university tradition.

On the undergraduate and graduate levels and in special programs, Saint John's seeks to preserve the well-springs of human culture, to deepen understanding of human interdependence and to prepare students for full, integrated lives of thought, action and love.

In pursuit of these goals, Saint John's strives to relate teaching, learning and scholarship to the residential life of the campus, community worship and programs of service.

These activities are animated by the Benedictine practices of community life, prayer, hospitality and the search for wisdom, as well as by Saint John's own historic commitments to the well-being of diverse human communities, the formation of leaders in successive generations and the ongoing renewal of the Church.
