If you are interested in a career in business or in education, you can make yourself even more employable by staying on at St. Thomas Aquinas College to earn your master's degree. We have Graduate Programs in Education (MSEd) and Business (MBA)

The point is, St. Thomas Aquinas College can help you prepare for the career you want. But what does studying the liberal arts and sciences have to do with preparing for a successful career? The answer to that question requires a little arithmetic.

THINK AHEAD - Imagine that you finish college in 2005 at the age of 21. Now think far into the future to the time of your retirement, at the age of (gasp!) 65. You have just imagined a working career for yourself that has lasted a long while -- until the year 2049, to be exact. How can you prepare yourself to compete in the world of the 21st century? Even before you reach the midpoint of your career, much of today's state-of-the-art science and technology is going to be old news. What can you learn at college that won't be out of date a few years down the road?

The smart plan involves using your college years to develop your thinking and communication skills, dip into humanity's accumulated wisdom, deepen your understanding of human nature, and learn how to learn.

NOW YOU KNOW - Our argument for studying the liberal arts and sciences --- that is, the humanities, the natural sciences and mathematics, and the social sciences. Even fifty years from now, those are the basics that people will have to know something about to be considered well-educated and to keep up with an evolving body of knowledge.
