St. John’s University in SI Closing in 2024
St. John’s University will close the Staten Island campus in the Spring of 2024.
The school is closing due to low enrollment. Journalist Bill Miller wrote that there was a 63% drop in enrollment over 22 years. (Source)
The pandemic certainly didn’t help the problem. “At St. John’s Staten Island campus, enrollment tumbled from 2,309 undergraduate and graduate students in fall 2000 to 861 students in fall 2021.” (Source)
This year will be the last year that they are taking a freshman class. They will need to finish their degree at the Queens campus.
I know so many people in Brooklyn who graduated from St. John’s University in Staten Island.
Assemblyman Michael Tannousis and others want to keep the Staten Island campus open.
