LoginGeneral Information About STM
Since 1936, St. Thomas More College has been helping students discover more about the world in which they live. We don't simply teach classes, we assist our students as they become tomorrow's leaders.
Located in the beautiful Canadian Prairies, St. Thomas More College is proud to be a Catholic, liberal arts college, federated with the University of Saskatchewan.
1. St. Thomas More College is a CATHOLIC college.
Founded by the Basilian Fathers in 1936, STM is the leading Catholic college in Western Canada. Students do not have to be Catholic to join STM or take STM classes. We don’t force religion on anybody, but we do believe it is important for our students to have an opportunity to integrate faith into their university careers. STM is the heart of Catholic community at the University of Saskatchewan, and the campus ministry team is vital to the development of the college community. STM is home to a beautiful chapel where Roman Catholic Mass is celebrated.
2. St. Thomas More College is a LIBERAL ARTS college.
While STM students may choose any major offered by the College of Arts and Sciences at the U of S, our teaching focus is the Liberal Arts. We offer classes in the humanities and social sciences. At some point in your degree, you will take a liberal arts class, or perhaps, many liberal arts classes, even if you are majoring in a natural science discipline or in a pre-professional program. Refer to our course calendar for a list of classes offered by the college.
3. St. Thomas More College is FEDERATED with the University of Saskatchewan.
While we maintain our own administration and receive our own provincial grants, we are academically integrated with the University of Saskatchewan. That means:
- We offer on-campus U of S credit classes that students take as part of their U of S degrees.
- Any on-campus student may take our classes, which are taught by STM professors.
- STM professors are fully certified: they are members of the faculty of the College of Arts & Science and of University Council.
- Any on-campus Arts and Science student may register through STM. (Such a student will become a self-identified STM student, but will still be an Arts & Science student at the U of S.)
 We come to see the life of Christ anew, as a model for our own, and that realization brings great joy, great hope, and absolute trust in the providence of God.”— Fr. George Smith, CSB STM President, 2000 - Present |
