Aquinas College
Aquinas College was founded in 1928 with the name of Saint Cecilia Normal School. The goal was to educate the sisters of the congregation. In 1971, it was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, but only to award Associate Degrees. It was only in 1994 that the college became authorized to award 4-year degrees. Located in a beautiful campus in Nashville, Tennessee, the college continues to provide quality education which is rooted in Catholic Dominican principles.
The college offers degree programs under two different modes: the Traditional Track and the Adult Studies Program. The Traditional Track offers degrees in liberal arts, business, nursing, and teacher education. Most people take day time classes under the program. The Adult Studies Program offers degrees in nursing and business. These programs are aimed at working professionals who need flexibility. There are no online classes currently being offered, but night classes are available.
