Thomistic Studies Program

The aim of this initiative is to provide a systematic approach to Thomistic principles, for those who serve in any of the ICUSTA member institutions, which “faithfully adhere to the ideals and teachings of St Thomas Aquinas” (ICUSTA Mission).

 

Purpose of the program

This initiative offers studies programs directed to academics and staff without specialization in Thomistic Philosophy or Theology, with emphasis on subjects relevant for today’s society and that are also linked with specific modern areas of knowledge. Although they will be offered by distance learning, these experiences should guarantee a real contact among students and teachers.
