St. John’s College has partnered with Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) in an initiative to make liberal arts accessible for all students. The Bridge to the Liberal Arts through Primary Source Texts (BLAST) project is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
BLAST is a three-year partnership that integrates a Great Books curriculum and St. John’s seminar-style classes into AACC’s current Humanities courses, simultaneously creating a pathway for AACC students to transfer to St. John’s College.
AACC students in this program can create a transfer pathway to St. John’s College. Although St. John’s does not accept transfer credit, an important component of the BLAST program is a tuition discount worth at least $4,000 per year for four years for participants who transfer. If your financial need exceeds $4,000, St. John’s also offers additional generous scholarships.

“The learning that takes place in a seminar, in which everyone’s voice matters, mirrors the civic participation of citizens in a democratic society. Students are able to reflect upon the ideals of equality and inclusion through the very process of their own experience in class.” —Emily Langston, Associate Dean
The Bridge to the Liberal Arts through Primary Source Texts project is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). NEH provided $100,000 to support this project, which is 100% of the cost of the project.
