"Today's Family" to feature Thomas Aquinas College
Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 17, 2007 -- PTG Studios is
pleased to announce the selection of Thomas Aquinas College for
its innovative, educational television series, Today's Family. The
school will be featured in a segment on "The Importance of
Choosing the Right College," which will air in major markets
across the country.
Thomas Aquinas College's curriculum is made up exclusively of the
Great Books. There are no textbooks, no majors or minors, and no
lectures. Instead, throughout the four-year program, students read
the original texts of the best, most influential authors of Western
civilization -- poets, scientists, mathematicians, philosophers,
and theologians.
Instead of lecturing, faculty members direct and sustain classroom
conversations about these texts in small seminars and laboratories.
Over time, in classes of no more than 20, students develop the ability
to think logically, to defend a position, to listen well, to analyze
a position in terms of its underlying principles, to see its implications,
and to test it for its truth or error.
The curriculum at the college has both natural and divine wisdom
as its ultimate objective. In the great scholastic tradition of
"faith seeking understanding," the program is conducted
under the light of the Catholic faith.
Founded in 1971, this private, co-educational undergraduate institution
is located in Santa Paula, CA. It has a maximum enrollment of 350
students from 40 states and 6 countries; the average SAT score is
1295. There are 34 tutors on the teaching faculty, 74 percent of
whom have doctorates.
Thomas Aquinas College is highly acclaimed for the rigorous nature
of its academic program, its vibrant spiritual life, and for the
development of character and leadership in its students. Students
graduate with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in liberal arts and go
on to positions of leadership in education, law, medicine, business,
government, military service, and the priesthood and religious life.
According to U.S. News & World Report's 2005 edition of "America's
Best Colleges," Thomas Aquinas was ranked among the top 110
liberal arts colleges nationwide -- one of only four Catholic colleges
in the country to be so ranked. In addition, it is the only Catholic
liberal arts college in the United Sates to be named a "best
value" by U.S. News. The college is also ranked first in the
country by U.S. News for largest percentage of classes under 20
(100%).
