Overview

Thomas More University is a Catholic university in the northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati, in the Diocese of Covington. Its location gives students direct access to a major metro area's internship and career opportunities while keeping a small, Catholic-identity campus.

Academics

Nursing and business are the university's most established programs. A genuine rarity for a school this size is its biology field station on the Ohio River, which gives biology and environmental science students hands-on field research access not typical at small universities.

Campus & student life

Small classes and close faculty relationships define day-to-day academic life, and the university's proximity to Cincinnati gives students a larger metro area for internships, entertainment, and career networking without living in the city itself.

Worth knowing

The biology field station is a specific, genuine differentiator for students interested in field science, ecology, or environmental biology, and is worth knowing about since it is unusual for an institution of this size.
