Johnston Student Profiles

If you think a degree from Johnston sounds unconventional, you’re right!

Our graduates follow all kinds of career paths from graduate school to community organizing to entrepreneurial projects, to government service, and so on. Because students design their own courses of study, many Johnston students are able to craft an education that effectively launches them into their post-graduate lives.

Johnston alumni talk about how the process of negotiating contracts and living in a consensus community helps them succeed in their professional lives.
