My training at TAC has obviously been very helpful, and my philosophical training has turned out to be quite applicable to this scientific fiel
The intellectual formation was critical; it allowed me to develop the ability to think logically, to follow through a logical argument, and thereby to make the most of my seminary education.
/* /*]]>*/ I use my TAC training in textual analysis, in Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, in Greco-Roman history, in modern philosophy (such as Kant and Hegel), in poetry and literary theory, in Aristotelian cosmology – I could go on and on.
/* /*]]>*/ I am daily grateful for the education and intellectual training I received from the College. It has given me not only a thirst for the first principles in my discipline, but the means by which to make those known and applicable to the case at hand.
/* /*]]>*/ My four years at Thomas Aquinas College served as a great preparation for a career in journalism and public affairs.
/* /*]]>*/ I thank God for giving me the life-changing experience of being a student at Thomas Aquinas College.
/* /*]]>*/ My time at the College helped me begin to acquire the virtues necessary in becoming a disciple before learning to be a leader. I am very grateful to the College for giving me the environment in which I was able to grow in those virtues.
Programming is really just applied math and logic, and the College prepared me well in both.
