Thomas Aquinas College earns state approval to operate branch campus in Massachusetts
California-based Thomas Aquinas College has received approval from the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education to operate a branch campus here and award a bachelor of arts degree in liberal education. The approval is subject to stipulations, including that the college submit annual status reports during its initial five years of operation. In an Oct. 23 press release announcing the approval, the private, four-year institution founded by Catholic lay people in 1969, said its admissions office “is accepting applications to the New England campus” as the college seeks to extend its accreditation to that campus.
