American by design. International in character and influence. St. John International University is the first and only American university in Italy approved to award graduate degrees. Whatever program they choose, our students are invited by the SJIU community to consider and explore the most compelling of questions, "What are you going to do with your life?" The answers that will unfold and that will transform your life will evolve on the global stage that is St. John International University.

“My experience at SJIU has been unforgettable--intimate class sizes, highly qualified professors, dedicated staff and a close-knit student community, all within the backdrop of a culturally-rich, thriving city in the heart of Europe.”

Lauren Shultz, Master of International Arts Administration

“What I like best about SJIU are knowing people from different countries and having the opportunity to create a close relationship with every professor.”

Giacinta Gandolfo, BA in Art History

"The act of discovery that is instrumental to the SJIU experience is both informed and set in a powerful context through the University's defining core theme of 'sustainability.' Our community embraces the Triple Bottom Line concept of setting 'people, planet, and profits' in harmonious balance."

Lorenzina Zampedri, Founder and Board Chair of SJIU
