Degree Granting Authority

 

St. Thomas Aquinas University is incorporated in the State of Florida as a nonprofit religious university and meets all legal requirements in regard to that incorporation. The official by-laws of the university provide authority to grant graduate and postgraduate degrees in a wide range of fields and disciplines related to religious vocations as ministers, professionals, or laypersons in the categories of ministry, counseling, theology, education, administration, music, fine arts, media communications, or social work.
