As a university, we commit ourselves to academic excellence and the pursuit of wisdom, whichflows from free inquiry, religious values and human experience. We strive to preserve andenhance an atmosphere in which scholarly research, imaginative methodology, globalawareness and an enthusiastic quest for truth serve as the basis of a vital teaching-learningprocess and the development of lifelong learning. Our core curriculum in the liberal arts andsciences aims to enrich lives as well as professions and serves to unify the undergraduateexperience. Graduate and professional schools express our commitment to research, rigorousstandards and innovative application of knowledge. We aim not only to be excellentprofessionals with an ability to analyze and articulate clearly what is, but also to develop theethical and aesthetic values to imagine and help realize what might be.

St. John’s is a Catholic university, founded in 1870 in response to an invitation of the firstBishop of Brooklyn, John Loughlin, to provide the youth of the city with an intellectual andmoral education. We embrace the Judeo-Christian ideals of respect for the rights and dignity ofevery person and each individual’s responsibility for the world in which we live. We commitourselves to create a climate patterned on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ as embodied inthe traditions and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Our community, which comprisesmembers of many faiths, strives for an openness which is “wholly directed to all that is true, allthat deserves respect, all that is honest, pure, admirable, decent, virtuous, or worthy of praise”(Philippians 4:8). Thus, the university is a place where the church reflects upon itself and theworld as it engages in dialogue with other religious traditions.

St. John’s is a Vincentian university, inspired by St. Vincent de Paul’s compassion and zealfor service. We strive to provide excellent education for all people, especially those lacking economic, physical or social advantages. Community service programs combine with reflectivelearning to enlarge the classroom experience. Wherever possible, we devote our intellectual andphysical resources to search out the causes of poverty and social injustice and to encourage solutions which are adaptable, effective and concrete. In the Vincentian tradition, we seek tofoster a worldview and to further efforts toward global harmony and development, by creatingan atmosphere in which all may imbibe and embody the spirit of compassionate concern forothers so characteristic of Vincent.

St. John’s is a metropolitan university. We benefit from New York City's cultural diversity, itsintellectual and artistic resources, and the unique professional educational opportunities offeredby New York, Rome and other cities throughout the world where our students study and serve. With this richness comes responsibility. We seek and welcome opportunities to partner and plan with our metropolitan communities. We encourage them to use our intellectual resources and professional expertise in developing solutions that address strategic issues of mutual concern. On the local, state, national and international levels, our alumni serve as effective leaders and responsible citizens. We pledge to foster those qualities required for anticipating and responding to the educational, ethical,

Catholic,Vincentian,and Metropolitan.
