St. Thomas Aquinas is an independent liberal arts school which is home to 2,700 students in Sparkhill, NY. Offering more than 100 majors and minors, the college requires students to get a core foundation in the liberal arts and sciences. STAC uses a rolling admissions policy. There are over 30 student run organizations on campus, and STAC participates in NCAA DII athletics. Students have the option to participate in study abroad programs, and in the Honors, HEOP, and Pathways program for students with LD/ADD.


Pathways consists of a director, assistant director, and a trained staff of mentors. They provide one-to-one mentoring sessions as well as seminars, workshops, and study groups tailored to meet students' needs. They provide academic counseling, course advisement, priority registration and a specialized summer program prior to the first semester at STAC. Pathways is a very competitive program: there are 100 applications, and they accept 20 freshman a year. If not accepted into the Pathways program, students get accommodations, but not the extensive services in the Pathways Program.
