ENGAGED STUDENTS

For instance, Child Study majors at St. Joseph’s don’t wait until senior year to become student teachers; they start logging in teaching hours starting freshman year and graduate with four solid years of classroom experience.

St. Joseph’s College strives to open the minds and hearts of students, pushing them to be curious, optimistic, courageous risk takers.
In support of this mission, St. Joseph’s College is launching a new Core Curriculum in September 2011 that groups courses into five broad thematic areas to offer students an interdisciplinary approach to their studies. This ensures that students become fluent communicators, familiar with new technologies, and experienced in navigating the world through service, internships, cultural opportunities on campus, and study abroad.
The St. Joseph’s faculty is comprised of experts in their fields who are equally passionate about teaching and scholarship – and whose classes are small and personal enough that these professors can act as mentors, advising students on everything from homework to careers.

In spring 2011, St. Joseph’s will break ground for a new 33,000-square-feet athletic center in Brooklyn that will include basketball and volleyball courts, a dance studio and a fitness center.
