### Summary

Small liberal arts college in rural New Mexico with a distinctive Great Books curriculum and selective admissions.

### Description

St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico is a private liberal arts institution built entirely around the Great Books curriculum, a rigorous humanities-focused program that shapes all undergraduate study. The college enrolls 447 students and operates in a rural setting that isolates it from urban distractions and centers student life around the intellectual community.

Tuition is $39,356 annually, with a total cost of attendance of $55,283 including room and board. The college admits roughly half its applicants. Students typically score at the 75th percentile SAT Reading at 750 and SAT Math at 700. The college maintains an endowment of $112.7 million and meets demonstrated financial need for admitted students, meaning many pay substantially less than the published rate.

This school suits students who thrive in discussion-based learning, value deep engagement with philosophical and literary texts, and seek an intellectual peer group in a small, immersive setting. It is not the right fit for students seeking STEM programs, career-focused training, or a traditional major system. Learn more at www.sjc.edu/.
