St. John's University

Staten Island Campus

Campus Description

Only a ferry-ride away from lower Manhattan, St. John’s wooded, 16.5-acre Staten Island campus occupies a former private estate overlooking New York Bay. The campus combines the high-tech resources of a top Catholic university with the close-knit atmosphere of a small college. Along with stately red-brick buildings like Flynn and Spellman Halls, there are ultramodern classroom buildings like Mahoney Hall, Lavelle Hall and the Da Silva Academic Center. Students also benefit from a sprawling Campus Center with club space, cafeteria and gymnasium; the Loretto Memorial Library; and apartment-style residences. A shuttle bus takes students to and from the Queens campus.

300 Howard Ave., Staten Island, NY 10301

Featured Programs

As a Catholic university in the Vincentian tradition, St. John's prepares students for leadership in todays international society. They begin with Discover New York, a core course that uses the city as a "living textbook." Through the Global Passport Program, freshman and new transfer students can begin studying abroad in their first semester. St. John's also offers short term faculty-led program as well as several semester study aboard programs including the unique Discover the World program where students earn 15-18 credits studying in Italy, France and Spain in a single semester. Course-related volunteer activities allow all students to build confidence while making a difference. Campus Ministry and Student Life sponsor winter and spring service "plunges" in disadvantaged locations. To strengthen these options, St. John's established its Vincentian Initiative for Social Action (VISA). Students also engage the world through the four-year Ozanam Scholars Program, partnering with faculty and civic leaders to fight injustice. On-campus, students benefit from St. John's 40 clubs.
