At St. Thomas, we have a story to tell.

► A story about a small, liberal arts college that transformed into one of the nation’s Top 20 Catholic universities.

► A story about an unprecedented transition to Division I athletics.

► A story about an education that combines the practical with the purposeful – empowering you to make a difference in our Minneapolis-St. Paul community.

It’s a story that’s turning the page to a new chapter. And transfer students like you are helping to write it. That’s why we’ve made it easier than ever to transfer to St. Thomas – increasing our scholarships and allowing students who complete the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) or an Associate of Arts (AA) degree to satisfy almost all of our core curriculum requirements.

For a comprehensive credit evaluation, contact your admissions counselor. They can give you an unofficial degree evaluation that explains St. Thomas' core and major field requirements and estimates how long it might take you to graduate. Learn more about transferring credit to St. Thomas.
