Father Fessio & Ignatius Press are establishing the following online opportunities:

With the assistance of Ignatius Press and the Angelicum Academy, the College of St. Thomas More is launching the first comprehensive (48 credit hours) Great Books courses online—complimented by 12 credit hours of Catholic theology taught by Ignatius Press Founder and Editor, Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J., Th.D. These classes will all begin this Fall term (Sept. 1, 2011), with more to follow in subsequent years, leading to a bachelor’s degree in the liberal arts (BA).

An Affordable College?!

Online education reduces so many costs associated with a campus (such as expensive dorms, board, campus maintenance and staff). It offers a new opportunity for students and their families to afford college once again, without incurring crushing student loan debt. Compare the average costs at various types of colleges in the chart below, including tuition, fees, room, board, books, etc. as calculated by the College Board.

thank you so much of for this information... we are not Catholic, but the schools we are interested in are the Catholic colleges because that's where we have found the top-notch Classical studies... we were looking into Santa Clara University and St. Mary's (Belmont) both in California... both are very expensive--but their classical studies are impressive... my son has been studying Latin for six years now, and will start Greek this summer... again, thanks much!
