Let Me State For The Record...

That this sounds like a fascinating way in which to learn:                               

Thomas Aquinas College                               Santa Paula, California Thomas Aquinas College is a small Catholic college located in southern California with 330 students.  No majors or minors are offered since all students participate in the prescribed great books curriculum.  The somewhat secluded location in the hills of rural southern California provides a metaphor for the unique nature of this fine institution. The “great books” of history comprise the entire curriculum of Thomas Aquinas College, and all students graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts.  Books on many subjects are included in the program, including music, mathematics, and science as well as philosophy, language, and theology.  Faculty members serve less as lecturers and more as facilitators using the Socratic method.  Catholic faculty members publicly take the Oath of Fidelity and make a Profession of Faith at the beginning of their terms in office. Campus life at Thomas Aquinas follows with traditional Catholic morality and teaching. The college itself tries to stay out of organized student activities, but there are many groups in which students participate.  For example, the St. Genesius Players is a drama group that puts on productions, the choir often performs, and the “bushwhackers” maintain local trails and organize hiking trips.  Student groups are also involved with activism on issues related to traditional religious values.

Forget for a moment that it's a Catholic College, if such bothers you, as this sounds like a great way to learn if one is disillusioned by the perdominant teaching method in colleges today.

I attended other colleges prior to attending Thomas Aquinas College, and I was greatly disillusioned by the predominant teaching methods in the other colleges. Going to those colleges was like going to a grocery store to say the least. You just wandered down the halls and grabbed whatever subjects you liked, and then you listened to some teacher's narrow views on those subjects. Going to Thomas Aquinas College was one of the best things I ever did, and it was a great education.

As a graduate, I can say unabashedly: it is!
