In the newly released 2012 edition of its Best Colleges guide, U.S. News & World Report places Thomas Aquinas College in the uppermost tier of all American liberal arts colleges.
The guide further praises the college for the generosity of its financial aid program, listing it in the Top 40 “Great Schools, Great Prices” category, and ranking it among the top national liberal arts colleges for the “Least Debt” carried by graduates.
“It is good to see we have maintained our high rankings in the U.S. News college guide,” says Director of Admissions Jon Daly. “That the guide singles out Thomas Aquinas College for both academics and financial aid confirms that this college is a truly viable option for students seeking an excellent education at an affordable price - especially during this economically challenging time.”
The College has received high marks in the newest editions of all the top annual college guides, both Catholic and secular, including the Princeton Review, the Association of College Trustees and Alumni, the National Catholic Register, About.com, Forbes, and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
Still, Mr. Daly is careful not to place too much stock in any guide, which at best can only capture a glimpse of the intellectual, spiritual, and social life at Thomas Aquinas College.
