@ucbalumnus , by right direction, I mean is it going to lure more students with its strong emphasis on reading? Will more students come with the drop in tuition, even if they aren’t sure they can handle the fixed curriculum, as @ninakatarina states?
@lookingforward brings up a good point too. The freshman retention rate isn’t great, though it’s a little above average. Is this college a dinosaur? Or, as I asked in my original post, can the past (the way St. John’s has always done it), become the future? Is the trend in higher ed still geared towards pre-professionalism? I guess I’m wondering if St. John’s can survive. I hope so.
