VISITING THE UNIVERSITY
The faculty and administration at St. Thomas University encourages you to visit campus to get a first-hand introduction. Arranging a visit is quite simple. Please call the Office of Graduate Admissions one to two weeks prior to your visit. After the date and time of your visit has been confirmed, Graduate Admissions staff will make arrangements for you to meet with a financial aid counselor as well as an admissions officer. A St. Thomas University graduate student will take you on a tour of the University. If you would like to meet with a faculty member within your academic program, we can arrange that too. Specific questions that are hard to answer via correspondence or telephone calls can be addressed directly to faculty members or admissions personnel.
