Aquinas College
Aquinas College, an inclusive educational community rooted in the Catholic and Dominican tradition, provides a liberal arts education with a global perspective, emphasizes career preparation focused on leadership and service to others, and fosters a commitment to lifelong learning dedicated to the pursuit of truth and the common good.
Description
Aquinas is a Catholic liberal arts college within the Dominican tradition. The four Dominican Pillars of prayer, study, service and community help form our students to lead a life where they can thrive in all dimensions. The College seeks to enable students to realize God’s purpose for their lives, and be empowered to make all the difference in the world, preparing them for a vocation and career that will enrich them and enhance the broader community.
Mindful of our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, the College attempts to foster respect for all human beings and material creation in pursuit of Truth and the common good. This perspective is the foundation of our academic programs and is also lived out throughout the Aquinas College community.
