About

Thomas More College of Liberal Arts is a highly traditional, faith-centered Catholic institution best known for its rigorous, single-track Great Books curriculum where all students pursue a unified Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies. The student experience is exceptionally intimate and community-focused, characterized by shared meals, daily Mass, and intellectual discussions that naturally spill out of the classroom into everyday life. A defining hallmark of the college is its mandatory sophomore semester in Rome, Italy, where students live together and study classical culture firsthand. Additionally, the academic program is uniquely paired with student "Guilds," which teach practical, traditional crafts like woodworking, calligraphy, and homesteading alongside classical texts.

Wikipedia:The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts is a private Catholic liberal arts college in Merrimack, New Hampshire, United States. Established in 1978, it emphasizes classical education in the Catholic intellectual tradition and is named after Saint Thomas More.
