Información
St. Thomas University is unique in Canada: our sole focus is liberal arts education. We think it is the best way to prepare you for a life as a leader, thinker, and global citizen. Liberal arts education gives you the ability to find solutions to problems, make independent decisions, and act on them. It teaches you how to argue logically, write clearly, and master new ways of thinking. It means gaining skills in communication, critical thinking and open-mindedness.
At St. Thomas, you can expect small classes, engaged classmates, and teachers second-to-none. Choose from among more than 30 academic disciplines: from traditional fields like Philosophy, History and Languages, to innovative programmes in Journalism, Human Rights, Criminology, Environment and Society, and Native Studies.
Wherever you want to go, St. Thomas will help you get there.
You'll develop your interests, discover your passions, learn the skills and subjects you need, and see a different point of view. It all starts with the freedom to think for yourself.
