REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe teachers are so helpful, i am a recent transfer student to Thomas University and at my old school the teachers really didn't care about the students and their learning environment, but at Thomas University the teachers actually do care and they find ways so that students can grasp information and understand. Also, the Student Support Services(SSS) are the best when it comes to needing help on writing assignments!

Thomas University is good for adults returning to school. This school offers non-traditional school hours. The classes are small enough that the professors know your name.
