Thomas Aquinas College is unique among American colleges and universities, offering a faithfully Catholic education comprised entirely of the Great Books and classroom discussions.
Truth, and nothing less, sets men free; and because truth is both natural and supernatural, the College’s curriculum aims at both natural and divine wisdom.
The intellectual tradition and moral teachings of the Catholic Church infuse the whole life of Thomas Aquinas College, illuminating the curriculum and the community alike.
Do you enjoy grappling with complex questions? Are you willing to engage in discussions about difficult concepts, with the truth as your ultimate goal?
There is always something to do at TAC — something worthwhile, something fulfilling, and something geared toward ever-greater spiritual and intellectual growth.
Nothing speaks more to the versatility of the College’s academic program than the good that our alumni are doing throughout the Church and the world.
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.

I always tell people, if you can read Aristotle, you can read an insurance policy. Every time I’m asked to parse a sentence in a policy or debate the meaning of the word ‘occurrence,’ I feel like I’m back in college.
In college I had the most admirable tutors and other influences in my life — people who were so good, and whom you could really admire.
I rely on the College’s training each and every day. Foremost is the ability to quickly analyze and methodically resolve complex matters; then, to prioritize sound facts and morals in my decision making.
There was a sense of discipline in the intellectual life at Thomas Aquinas College which I think very much carries over into the military, which has discipline permeating throughout the entire structure.
