This fall, Thomas More College welcomed the largest class ever in the history of the college.

There are currently 474 incoming fulltime, traditional students on campus.

That’s a 41 percent increase over the 2015 incoming class.

Since school began in early August, the Admissions office has been running the numbers and pouring through the archives.

“We knew we had a large incoming class, but all the facts and figures now point to the largest class – ever!” said Christopher Powers, PhD, Vice President of Enrollment Management.

Total fulltime, traditional enrollment is currently at 1118.

Overall headcount, which includes graduate, dual credit and adult students currently stands at 1964.

“People constantly ask the reason for the growth; it’s not just our great faculty, administration and students, I believe it’s because we are a values based institution that lives its mission,” according to Thomas More College President David A. Armstrong, J.D.

Thomas More College is a values-based liberal arts institution, one of 10 Catholic Diocesan colleges in the nation. Located in Crestview Hills, it was originally founded in 1921 by the Benedictine Sisters as Villa Madonna College.

Thomas More College is routinely named one of the best values in higher education by Money magazine’s Best College Buys issue and was recognized in 2015 and 2016 by PayScale as the number one college for return on investment in Greater Cincinnati and Kentucky.
