Audit a Course
Learn for the Love of Truth
Aquinas College welcomes adult learners, educators, parish leaders, retirees, and all those who wish to continue growing intellectually and spiritually through the study of the liberal arts and the Catholic intellectual tradition.
Auditing a course offers a unique opportunity to engage great ideas, deepen your understanding of the faith, explore new academic interests, and learn alongside a community dedicated to the pursuit of Truth.
Whether your interests lie in theology, philosophy, history, literature, psychology, education, or the broader liberal arts, Aquinas provides an environment where faith and reason come together in a spirit of discovery and lifelong learning.

Why Study at Aquinas?
At Aquinas College, learning is more than the acquisition of information. Inspired by our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, and rooted in the charism of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, we seek wisdom through the integration of faith and reason.
For many audit students, the classroom becomes an opportunity not only for intellectual growth, but also for deeper reflection on life’s most important questions.
