The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science exemplifies
St. John’s University’s 142-year tradition focus on preparing
students for meaningful leadership in their careers, communities
and world.
With the University’s low 18-one student/faculty ratio,
undergraduates enjoy personal attention in the classroom. All
courses are taught by faculty, not graduate assistants. Professors
are nationally and internationally respected scholars with a
demonstrated commitment to teaching. Under their guidance, students
acquire a profound understanding of theory and its real-world
applications. They gain an especially strong background in the way
math shapes the computer systems on which our world depends. Many
professors also have industry ties that benefit students when they
enter the job market.
Students in Mathematics and Computer Science also benefit from
St. John’s leadership in Online Learning. The University offers
many online courses allowing students to work at their own pace and
schedule.
A leading Catholic university, St. John’s combines academic
excellence, vibrant student life activities and the excitement of
BIG EAST athletics on five campuses — in Queens, Staten Island and
Manhattan (New York City); Oakdale, NY; and Rome, Italy. Students
also take classes at the University’s residential facility in
Paris, France. Through Academic Service-Learning, students gain
real-world experience assisting those in need through
course-related volunteer activities. In addition, there are 180
student clubs and organizations.
St. John’s University is widely known for the success of its
alumni. Forbes.com lists the University among its top 15
institutions in terms of graduates’
earning power. And a recent survey by The Wall Street
Journal ranks St. John’s among 100 Top
colleges and universities that are “most likely to help students
land a job in key careers . . . that are growing, pay well and
offer high levels of job satisfaction.”
