St. Thomas University
Established nearly a century ago, St. Thomas is the ideal liberal arts institution, consistently ranked as one of the top undergraduate universities in Canada. Teaching is the highest institutional priority, and professors are directly engaged in challenging programmes that foster each student’s intellectual development.
The cornerstone four-year Bachelor of Arts programme has more than 30 academic disciplines. Students explore various disciplines during their first two years of study, allowing them to broaden their interests before selecting an honours program or major. Small class sizes (no class is larger than 60, with an average class size of 30) encourage students to participate in discussions with peers and professors.
