Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

St. John’s University’s mission through its academic program is to implant a rewarding education to individuals wishing to succeed in all aspects of their lives. Many areas of study, which include more than 100 majors, are designed to prepare students for the future, while focusing on a highly dynamic, increasingly global society. The University also states that they are “committed to academic excellence, moral purpose, and professional development, which is evident in the success of many of their alumni, who continue to emphasize the value of a St. John’s education.”

There are several options, such as combined degree programs, that make it easier to graduate earlier. Many of the teachers are very helpful and genuinely want the students to learn the material. Then there are the teachers that make the courses and tests extremely hard, without giving the students adequate assistance to comprehend it. There are also teachers that don’t teach, or even show up for classes, but give out easy As; in the end, the students are not learning. Students should ask everyone they know about professors prior to enrolling in their classes. It may help to eliminate some of the not-so-good teachers. Sometimes, it’s better to have a strict teacher who will take the required steps for students to learn the curriculum than an easy teacher who just wants students to coast through his or her class. Even if you are falling behind on the work, the good thing about St. John’s is the abundance of coursework assistance, such as tutoring or time management workshops, that help students adjust to college.

St. John's Acedemics

As a student in the fairly new Homeland Security program, I know that upon graduation i won't just be walking away with a paper certificate, but with vast amounts of knowledge and skills relevant specific to my career and the workforce in general. The professors are great, they really are experts on their subject and they truly know how to teach it in a way that it is exciting and understandable. Most classes are lecture classes, however, with the small classroom setting there is a lot of opportunity for open discussion. Outside the classroom, the professors are easily accessible through email as well as open office hours. As a freshman, college life can be hard to adjust to, but the professors are always more than willing to help make the process easier and more enjoyable

Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

4.6

A

Great Program

I am a Pharmacy major, and as expected, classes are difficult. There are particular classes specific to this major, along with core classes that are taken by science majors in general. However, despite the difficulty, the work is manageable. Being a pharmacy major requires a greater attention to seeking jobs, clubs, and organizations that can help us gain a better understanding of where we will be in the future. My instructors for my Pharmacy classes are excellent and they do a great job informing me of topics that I need to know. They encourage looking for jobs or volunteering outside of school to enhance my learning experience. My school's pharmacy program is amazing.
