TMC Description

Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, a Catholic school in Merrimack, New Hampshire, is one of the few colleges in the United States that offers an exclusively classical education.

At Thomas More there is one curriculum for all students that encompasses a wide range of disciplines. This comprehensive study of the Humanities, Classical Languages, Arts, Philosophy, Theology, Math and Science prepares students for a wide range of graduate programs and careers.

The student life at Thomas More also encompasses this broad base of subject areas.
