St. John’s College in Santa Fe is renowned for its rigorous Great Books curriculum, where every undergraduate earns a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts by reading and discussing foundational texts of Western civilization. Eliminating traditional majors and lecture halls, the academic experience relies entirely on small, Socratic-style discussion seminars led by "tutors" across mathematics, natural sciences, language, music, and philosophy. Set in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the campus culture is intensely intellectual, highly collaborative, and deeply tied to Santa Fe's rich artistic traditions and outdoor recreation. A distinctive hallmark of the college is its dual-campus system, which allows students to seamlessly spend semesters at both the Santa Fe location and its sister campus in Annapolis, Maryland.
