At Aquinas College, the faculty promote a rigorous, academic atmosphere permeated with faith to foster their students' intellectual, professional, and moral development. Coming from prestigious Catholic and secular universities from all over the U.S. (Catholic University of America, University of Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Harvard, and M.I.T., just to name a few), they seek to advance student understanding of the relationship between human culture and Christian principles. To this end, faculty engage in additional research within the Catholic intellectual tradition, focusing on the social doctrine of the Church in response to serious contemporary issues within their fields of expertise.
Aquinas has more than 80 full- and part-time faculty across the Liberal Arts, Business, Teacher Education, and Nursing programs at its main campus, with 37% of full-time faculty holding doctorates or equivalent terminal degrees. The student to faculty ratio is a low 14:1.
At Aquinas, each student is encouraged to develop his/her unique potential in an atmosphere of personalized learning, with a caring faculty and administrative support.
