Since 1961, St. Thomas University has been an integral part of the fabric of Miami, growing with the city, and contributing substantially to the economic, social, and cultural development of its people. Since it's founding in 1946 in Havana, Cuba by the Augustinians, St. Thomas has remained a u niversity solidly and richly grounded in the Catholic tradition, we are first and foremost values-oriented and student-focused. You will find that our commitment to offering a holistic, values-oriented approach to teaching and learning and to serving students' needs is constantly evident, inside and outside the classroom. Quality education teaches you the essentials and then gives you plenty of room to experiment.

You will have 26 dynamic undergraduate programs and 13 graduate program from which to choose- including nursing, education, sports administration, engineering, tourism and hospitality management, international business, and forensic science. We will help you select the major that fits your interests, abilities, and ambitions. You will be assigned an academic advisor who will help ensure you are always on the right track. Our Academic Enhancement Center will prepare you for academic work at the college level and assist you in developing basic skills in writing, reading, mathematics, and English as a Second Language (ESL). You will have access to free individualized Counselling, tutoring, and placement-testing services. You can also participate in workshops on library usage, note-taking, and study strategies, and exam preparation.
Throughout campus you will feel a strong spiritual
presence- even in the classroom. Because diversity extends to religious
beliefs and because we are a Catholic institution, all students take
classes in ethics, philosophy, and religion so they can develop an
understanding and appreciation of all faiths.
Now in its 8th year, this is the only online LLM program at an ABA accredited
institution.
This is the only
program concentrated in the robust job markets of Anti-Money
Laundering, in Global Commerce, and in International Tax
Last year alone, our
nearly 500 alumni and students received over 300 excellent job
opportunities in these fields.
The LLM is flexible:
can be completed in one year, up to four years. Graduation requires 28
credits which translate into 8 substantive courses and Thesis courses.
By example, if you registered for 3 courses per 16-week trimester, you
could graduate within the year.
Also, because our
students are employed at the elite banks, firms, and multinationals, our
program is geared to a real-business, case study approach, with each student integrating his/her study into the issues occurring at
the workplace. Nearly all our professors come from years of
international business experience, have worked with the elite firms, and
engage with the students in interactive online group and
individual discussions, and give feedback upon the group
and individual assignments.
The Walter H. and Dorothy
B. Diamond Graduate Tax Program can broaden your horizons in many ways.
We also have a scholarship program for financial hardship students and
for every qualified referral(s) that joins the program.
