"We are a university primarily concerned with people..." You've probably noticed that young people have yet to corner the market on intelligence, enthusiasm and the thirst for knowledge. If you need convincing, take a look inside one of our classrooms. You'll find adult learners who have made the decision to invest some time and energy in doing what they like to do best — learning new skills and taking a fresh look at the world around them. Our small classes, our tradition of providing personalized attention, and our friendly, informal atmosphere combine to make St. Thomas a rewarding place to study — for students of all ages. Enjoying the Best of Two Worlds While we are proud to offer our students all the advantages of a small university, St. Thomas is unique in that we provide the best of both worlds. Right next door is the University of New Brunswick with which we share a wide range of services and facilities and where our students can take elective courses in arts, sciences, and fine arts for full degree credit at St. Thomas. This unique relationship between the two universities provides our students with all the advantages of being part of a small, intimate academic community and, at the same time, the library, athletic, health, computing and cultural facilities of an institution many times our size. And you'll be part of a community where adult learners are very much at home. There are close to 2,800 full-time and over 250 part-time students at St.Thomas and about 100 professors. As a mature student, you can take courses with us for your own interest, without credit or evaluation. However, if you're like most adult learners, you'll want credit for your university work and you'll have a goal in mind for your studies. At St. Thomas you can choose degree programmes in arts, social work, criminology, gerontology, journalism and education (if you already have a degree), or certificate programmes in criminology and social justice, or gerontology.
