Search Santa Paula California

The Thomas Aquinas College program of Catholic liberal education is unique in American higher education.

There are no textbooks. The prescribed, four-year interdisciplinary course of studies is based on the original works of the best, most influential authors, poets, scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, and theologians of Western civilization. In every classroom, the primary teachers are the authors of the "Great Books" from Aristotle, Homer and Euclid to St. Thomas Aquinas, T. S. Eliot and Albert Einstein.

There are no lectures. Teaching and learning demand a meeting of the minds. The course is, therefore, essentially a sustained conversation in tutorials, seminars, and laboratories guided by tutors who assist students in the work of reading, analyzing, and evaluating the great works which are central in the collected wisdom of Civilization.

The College is located in Santa Paula, Ventura County, CA, and has an enrollment of about 240. Student housing is available for 272.

Location: 10000 North Ojai Rd, Santa Paula California 93060 Telephone 805-525-4417
