St. John’s University is a private Catholic university located in New York City. Founded in 1870 by the Vincentian Fathers, it operates as an independent institution with a focus on liberal arts, professional studies, and research.

It offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs across its campuses in Queens, Staten Island, and overseas.
