It is time to create
Our Fine Arts & Humanities programs invite students to wrestle with big questions and bring human stories to life. You might be under the hot stage lights, in the scene shop with paint on your hands, in a rehearsal room finding the right pitch, or around a seminar table debating philosophy, theology, or history line by line. Our liberal arts approach means that the humanities are woven into daily life at Aquinas, so you’ll never be boxed into one path. You’ll experiment and shape a course of study that feels distinctly your own—one that grants you the power to understand and impact the world around you.
