  • 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 …

  • … theatrical productions …

  • … 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 …

    Major 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.
