Dear Parents and Prospective Students:

At the University of St. Thomas in Houston, we are committed to educating leaders of faith and character.  Our graduates possess a vibrant spiritual faith, seek to learn more about themselves and the world around them, and have the courage to live their lives in accordance with their faith. We hope that our graduates face the challenges of the world strengthened by the foundation of the Catholic, Basilian values of goodness, discipline and knowledge. We encourage them to become life long learners who seek every opportunity to continue to grow and give of themselves.

We are proud that our core curriculum provides each student with the ability to think critically and communicate effectively with a world view that is formed by the Catholic intellectual tradition. We are blessed with a faculty that is dedicated to our students and their development as ethical leaders and successful professionals. The university is blessed with the presence of the Basilian fathers who founded our institution in 1947 and the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist who joined us in 1999. The sisters and more than 130 full time faculty look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful campus for a life-changing educational experience.

With best wishes,

Dr. Robert Ivany
