Academics and Internships

An Aquinas education creates well-rounded individuals prepared to achieve their goals. As a liberal arts college, we focus not only on great careers and internships but also on the foundation for a life that never stops pursuing knowledge. Our graduates are critical thinkers, leaders, and service-focused.

 

Cost & Aid

You hear a lot about student debt in the news these days and, understandably, you might be concerned. We are too. That’s why we work with our students so they take on less debt in four years than they earn in their first year of work. The average net cost at Aquinas is about $4k below the average you'd pay elsewhere.

We highly encourage all students to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to see if they qualify for additional federal and state aid. The FAFSA will be available on December 1, 2024.
