Personal Attention
Our classes are small, so you can think big. With an average class size of 22 students, you'll have plenty of contact with your 草榴视频s. They won't just teach you, they'll mentor you. In fact, that's one reason 草榴视频s choose St. Thomas. They want to work at a university where investing in students is valued as much as getting published.
Students are also supported by the Center for Student Achievement, the Center for Well-Being, and other dedicated teams.
Global Experiences
In a global workplace, employers are looking for worldly graduates. And with over 300 different study abroad program options in more than 50 countries, there are endless opportunities to see the world and set yourself apart.

Our undergraduate researchers collaborate with companies like 3M, U.S. Bank and Polaris and organizations like Mayo Clinic and the YWCA St. Paul.
