The Bachelor of Arts (BA) programme is the central course of study at
St. Thomas. A student in the BA programme normally majors in one
or two fields, or may choose to pursue a more intensive programme
called an honours degree.
St. Thomas also offers post-degree Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Social Work programmes. Many students who complete
their BA at St. Thomas continue to the Education and Social Work
programmes.
Our Teaching Priority
Teaching is our highest priority at St. Thomas. Often at larger institutions, classes are taught by teaching assistants - St. Thomas is different. A professor will always be in a classroom, teaching, engaging, and inspiring. Learning is a collaboration, and our professors work to create a community where students are active participants.
St. Thomas University's professors are distinguished scholars, authors, and public commentators. Their research agendas strengthen their teaching. Students even have the opportunity to participate in research projects, an opportunity that is normally restricted to graduate students at larger institutions.
Your Classroom Experience
Our small class sizes - never more than sixty students, and often as few as twenty - encourage students to participate in discussions with their peers and professors. Through a variety of approaches to teaching - lectures, readings, class discussions, group activities, debates, research assignments, out-of-class writing, and online discussions - students develop their communication skills as well as think critically about what they read, hear, and experience.
St. Thomas students have the opportunity to include in their undergraduate programmes not only the courses required for admission to the St. Thomas professional programmes, but also those required for a broad range of graduate and professional programmes offered by other Canadian universities. Examples of the professional programmes for which St. Thomas students can qualify include:
