Still in its early stages, this newest campus offers the University the potential for developing its degree and continuing educational programs in the neighboring Suffolk County at the eastern end of Long Island. Technology continues to play a key role in the University's expanding horizons. Each of the University's four campuses has a primary computer center making available to our students, through Internet and intranet access, the necessary resources to do research and study. On the Queens and Staten Island campuses several satellite centers as well as walk-up express terminals are located at various sites. Still in its early stages of development, St. John's has recently launched an on line distance learning site.
Plans are in place to offer additional courses every semester.
In the future, non-credit courses will be offered. Committed to academic excellence and its Catholic, Vincentian and metropolitan character, St. John's University remains steadfastly rooted to the vision and ideals established by its founders over a century ago. As the information in this report indicates, it moves confidently into a new century and new millennium with an ambitious and challenging agenda dedicated to strengthen this founding vision. St. John's will continue to accomplish its mission by building on its strengths, taking advantage of opportunities emerging from a changing environment so that it might become a model for distinctiveness as a student-centered learning community for the 21st century.
