Flexibility is paramount, with online, on-campus and hybrid course options, featuring unwavering, personalized faculty support focused on each student’s success.

To enhance accessibility, the College is currently offering a 50% tuition discount on all Certificate programs and provides up to a $12,000 GRAD-itude scholarship for St. Thomas Aquinas College alumni pursuing a Master’s degree. Prospective full-time graduate students are also eligible for additional discounts, and the College’s Financial Aid team offers personalized support to optimize financial aid opportunities.
