[1]The personal-finance website WalletHub has named Thomas Aquinas College No. 25 on its 2018 rankings of the 112 Best Colleges [1] in the United States — the only Catholic school to make the list. The site also rates the College as No.1 for “faculty resources,” No. 5 in the West, and No. 9 for “career outcomes.”

To arrive at their findings, WalletHub’s analysts considered “26 key measures to determine where prospective students can expect to receive a top-notch education at the lowest price points.” Among these criteria are student selectivity, tuition costs, student-faculty ratio, and post-graduation median salary.

“We are encouraged that WalletHub, like Forbes [2], Kiplinger [3], and other personal-finance guides, recognize that our academic program is a great value, one that will prepare graduates for any professional endeavor,” says Admissions Director Jon Daly. “Taken with our favorable reviews from the Cardinal Newman Society [4], the National Catholic Register [5], U.S. News [6], and The Princeton Review [7], we see these findings as further evidence of both the virtue and the versatility of a faithfully Catholic liberal education.”
