Our Learning Method:
What's it like to learn at the Thomas More Institute? Though we offer some lecture courses and workshops, most of our courses are held in a discussion format guided by course leaders rather than lecturers. In all of our courses, learning is cooperative rather than competitive, and emerges from active participation and respectful listening. You can take individual courses that interest you, or work toward a structured bachelor of arts degree or comprehensive certificate that involve additional coursework.
