Nestled among the foothills of California’s Los Padres National Forest is the campus of Thomas Aquinas College …
… a place where, guided by the twin beacons of faith and reason, students pursue a liberating education in an authentically Catholic environment.
There are no textbooks. Students read the foundational works of western civilization — the great books.
Instead of lectures, students learn via the Socratic Method, in classes of fewer than 20 guided by members of the College’s renowned faculty.
The learning, however, extends far beyond the classroom. It carries on through music …
… a vibrant intramural athletics program
… and the glorious environs of Southern California.
Its alumni have gone on to be leaders in every conceivable field, from media…
Mary Rose Bacani (’03), Producer and Reporter for Salt + Light Television
.. to medicine and public service …
Lt. Col. Paul W. White, M.D. (’95), vascular surgeon, U.S. Army
… to the priesthood and the religious life.
The Very Rev. Fr. John M. Berg, F.S.S.P. (’93), Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter
We encourage you to spend some time learning more about this truly unique place — and perhaps even to place a visit, and come see for yourself.
