St. John's College's Santa Fe campus, established in 1964 as an extension of the original Annapolis location, sits on 250 acres in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, positioned approximately 65 miles north of Albuquerque. The campus combines Southwestern architectural elements with contemporary academic facilities, including astronomical observatories that support the college's distinctive Great Books curriculum. This discussion-based liberal arts program focuses entirely on fundamental texts of Western civilization, with all students following the same course of study in philosophy, literature, mathematics, science, and languages. The college maintains a low student-to-faculty ratio, with professors serving as tutors in the Socratic seminar format, and all undergraduate students reside in on-campus housing during their first two years. St. John's operates without traditional academic departments or majors, instead conferring a single Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts to all graduates.
