Welcome to The College of Saint Thomas More

The university city of Oxford is part of the history of the College of St. Thomas More and of every college and university in the English-speaking world, and the Oxford Studies Program is an essential part of our College curriculum, introducing students to the enduring tradition of English speaking arts and letters begun in Oxford in the twelfth century. Each August, students and friends of the College travel to England to immerse themselves in this historic place and in the living literature of lyric poetry and of Shakespeare.

Dr. Thomas Howard has taught English Literature at Gordon College and St Johnâ€™s Seminary College. He has lectured widely in the U.S. and Europe and is the author of more than ten books, including C.S. Lewis: Man of Letter and The Novels of Charles Williams.
Dr. Joseph Pearce is the Writer in Residence and Associate Professor of Literature at Ave Maria University, co-editor of the Saint Austin Review, and author of over 13 books including biographies of Chesterton, Belloc, Lewis, and Tolkein.
Dr. James Patrick, author of essays on Tolkien and Lewis, and The Magdalen Metaphysicals: Idealism and Orthodoxy at Oxford, 1909-1945, is Chancellor of the College and Fellow in Theology.
Dr. Judith Shank is the Fellow in Literature at the College.
