STU Mission Statement
St. Thomas is a Catholic university with rich cultural and
international diversity committed to the academic and
professional success of its students who become ethical
leaders in our global community.
History
Founded in 1961 as Biscayne College by the Augustinian order, this
Catholic men’s college known as “Villanova of the South” had its
roots in the Universidad de Santo Tomas de Villanueva in Havana,
founded in 1946 by American Augustinian priests from Philadelphia.
However, by 1961 Fidel Castro’s militia had confiscated the school’s
land and expelled the faculty and priests. Many of the administrators,
faculty and students came to Miami and the Diocese of Miami invited
the Augustinians to start a new college. By 1984, with the establishment of the School of Law and other graduate degree programs, the
college, by then co-educational, became St. Thomas University. In
1988 it came under the sponsorship of the Archdiocese of Miami,
conferring upon St. Thomas the distinction of being the only Catholic
Archdiocesan-sponsored University in the State of Florida. Today, St.
Thomas University is internationally recognized for unique specializations in justice, international business, ministry and the sciences.
The University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the American
Bar Association, and is a member of the Association of Law Schools.
