Welcome to Aquinas College
A Letter from Sister Thomas Aquinas, O.P.,
President of Aquinas College
Welcome to the Aquinas College Web site! You are most welcome to make this virtual visit. All of us at Aquinas hope your visit to our Web site will lead you to visit us in person. A beautiful, peaceful campus, friendly, caring staff and dedicated, expert faculty all look forward to welcoming you.
Aquinas College offers an education that will serve you in two ways: you will have the opportunity to receive an excellent professional preparation for success in business, nursing or teaching; and you will be liberally educated — that is, educated in such a way that your life will be enriched by the breadth and depth of the knowledge you acquire, and your mind and heart will be strengthened by the pursuit of truth and goodness.
Thank you for your interest in Aquinas College. Please come visit us to learn more about this warm and inviting place of learning — a place permeated by faith and grounded in Gospel values.
During the coming year I will be on an academic sabbatical, after which I will be returning to the College. Sister Mary Peter, O.P. will be serving the College as President Pro Tem. She has education and work experience that will serve the College well. Sister looks forward to welcoming you to Aquinas College. Please read her message of greeting to you below.
Yours in Christ,
Sister Thomas Aquinas, O.P.
President
A Letter from Sister Mary Peter, O.P.,
President pro tem of Aquinas College
Welcome! As you explore our website and get to know us, you will see for yourself what an outstanding Catholic liberal arts college we are. Rooted in the heritage of the Dominican Sisters, Aquinas College has a proud history of providing a foundation for life for its students. Whether you are a recent high school graduate, a working adult looking for a college degree or someone wanting to return to school after many years away, Aquinas College is for you. As a Catholic and Christian college, everything we do both in and out of the classroom is grounded in our faith in Jesus Christ and our desire to transform lives and culture by our faith. In a spirit of love and recognizing the dignity of each person whom God has created, we welcome not only Catholics but also students of many different denominations. In the liberal arts tradition, we help you to discover the beauty of truth and to learn how to grow spiritually, intellectually and morally to be the person God created you to be. Our highly qualified and dedicated faculty truly cares about helping our students succeed both in and out of the classroom. Our small class sizes and student services provide a place to discover and reach your potential.
As the President pro tem of Aquinas College, I am delighted to return to the school I have known as both a student and alumnus. The College is well on its way to implementing its ambitious strategic plan identified after much thought and prayer. Many exciting changes have happened in recent years, and many more are in our plans. The best way for you to come to know us is to "come and see." I encourage you to consider a personal visit to our campus. God bless you.
