School Description

Provided by University of St Thomas- Saint Paul

The University of St. Thomas is a comprehensive, co-educational, Catholic university. It seeks to develop morally responsible individuals who combine career competency with cultural awareness and intellectual curiosity.

In its undergraduate program, the university is committed to the development of the student through a liberal arts education within the living Catholic tradition and through a high degree of personal attention in a spiritually and intellectually stimulating campus environment.

Building on a base of rigorous academics, the University of St. Thomas (UST) MBA students experience unique elements such as business simulations, leadership and communication labs, internationally renowned executive speakers, student-run clubs and business consulting projects with Minnesota-based organisations. Students gain invaluable experience in an internship specific to their field of interest. Internship employers have included Fortune 500 corporations, mid-size to small companies and new venture start-ups.

The 78-acre St. Paul campus consists of the original 45-acre campus, five acres of adjacent properties and 28 acres of the Saint Paul Seminary campus (informally referred to as the "south" campus) that was transferred in a 1987 affiliation between St. Thomas and the seminary.

The main campus, built on a farm site once considered "far removed from town," is located where St. Paul's stately Summit Avenue meets the Mississippi River. The site was farmed by ex-Fort Snelling soldier William Finn, who received the property as a pension settlement after he accidentally shot himself in the hand while on guard duty. The beautifully landscaped campus has been used as a setting for two motion pictures.

The St. Paul south campus, situated west of Cretin Avenue and south of Summit Avenue, is the site of the new Frey Science and Engineering Center, the largest construction project in St. Thomas history. The two-building, 210,000-square-foot, $37 million center opened in fall 1997 and serves as a gateway to the south campus. The western edge of the south campus borders the Mississippi Gorge Regional Park.

University of St Thomas- Saint Paul

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The University of St. Thomas (also known as UST or simply St. Thomas) is a coeducational archdiocesan Roman Catholic institution of higher learning based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Founded in 1885 as a Catholic seminary, it is named after St. Thomas Aquinas, a medieval Catholic theologian and philosopher who is the patron saint of learners in the Roman Catholic Church. Now a university, it currently enrolls more than 11,000 students, making it Minnesota's largest private college or university. St. Thomas' recently revised mission statement is as follows:

Inspired by Catholic intellectual tradition, the University of St. Thomas educates students to be morally responsible leaders who think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully to advance the common good.

Father Dennis Dease became the 14th president of the University of St. Thomas on July 1, 1991.

History

Founded in 1885, St. Thomas began as an all-male, Catholic seminary. John Ireland, archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, started the St. Thomas Aquinas seminary, which became a liberal arts college in 1894. A gift from local railroad tycoon James J. Hill provided funds to establish the St. Paul Seminary apart from the college. In 1896, college officials made an artificial lake on campus, Lake Mennith, using water from an underground stream. Located in the lower quadrant, the shallow lake dried up in 1922. The College of St. Thomas became a military-based school for undergraduates in 1906 and awarded its first academic degrees in 1910. Before that, the school gave out two-year diplomas in commercial and classical programs. In 1915, the college and St. Thomas Military Academy for high school students split into two institutions and in 1965 the academy moved to Mendota Heights, Minnesota. The college later dropped its military distinction in 1922.

Question: I need an Apartment near University of St. Thomas, where to look online?

I near an Apartment near the University of St. Thomas (in Houston), Where can I start looking!?
21 months ago

Best Answer

Montrose (77098) is the closest (or Museum District). Try craigslist or the greensheet. They have lots of homes in Montrose that have been subdivided and rent to students. There are a lot of gay people in Montrose but it is a very nice place to live. Home values have skyrocketed and pretty much maintain their value there.
