ABOUT THOMAS AQUINAS COLLEGE
Named a 2010 "Best Value" college by The Princeton Reivew
and Kiplinger's, Thomas Aquinas College is a four-year, co-educational,
Catholic liberal arts college with a fully-integrated curriculum
composed exclusively of the Great Books, the seminal works in the
major disciplines by the great thinkers who have helped shape Western
civilization. There are no textbooks, no lectures and no electives.
Instead, under the guidance of faculty members and using only the
Socratic method of dialogue in classes of no more than 20, students
read and discuss the original works of authors such as Euclid, Dante,
Galileo, Descartes, the American Founding Fathers, Adam Smith, Shakespeare,
Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, Aristotle, Plato, St. Augustine,
and of course, St. Thomas Aquinas. Alumni consistently excel in
the many world-class institutions at which they pursue graduate
degrees in fields such as law, medicine, business, theology and
education. They have distinguished themselves serving as lawyers,
doctors, business owners, priests, military service men and women,
educators, journalists and college presidents.
