The Graduate Institute
We are currently accepting applications for the spring, summer, and fall 2026 semesters
St. John’s College is not like other colleges and universities. Whether you are pursuing the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts, the Master of Arts in Eastern Classics, the Master of Arts in Middle Eastern Classics, or the Liberal Arts Education Certificate, our radical vision of education is simple: the study of great books and the discussion of those books in great classroom conversations. The Graduate Institute is a unique and welcoming community of students with different life experiences who value thoughtful discussion about great works and big ideas.
