In its , The American Spectator recommends 26 colleges where conservative-minded students can œplay hooky� from the higher-education mainstream, and 91¿ì»îÁÖ Aquinas College is among the most highly recommended on the list.

The Spectator™s editors especially cite the College™s academics, which, they observe, have garnered praise from across the ideological spectrum. œAll students participate in its classical Great Books curriculum, which many consider to be a more challenging curriculum than that offered by the nation™s top universities,� they write. In an accompanying article, Dr. Ann Hendershott remarks that the College œagain placed in 2022 in the top fifty of US News & World Report™s annual ranking of national liberal arts colleges.�

Dr. Hendershott further describes TAC as œvibrantly Catholic,� while the magazine™s profile of the College is keen to highlight its fidelity to the Church™s magisterium at all levels. œFaculty members and students alike share deep faith and an intellectual commitment to understanding the world through a Catholic lens.�

This conjunction of academic excellence and fidelity that the editors note is not an accident. œOur founders were convinced that the pursuit of truth is inseparable from faith in Christ,� says Chris Weinkopf, the College™s executive director of college relations. œIt is this harmony of faith and reason, rather than any conflict between ˜conservative™ and ˜progressive,™ that animates the vibrant intellectual lives of our students and faculty. We are grateful to The American Spectator for recognizing that ” and for its recommendation.�
