St Thomas University

St. Thomas University is a small undergraduate liberal arts institution in Fredericton, New Brunswick, with a close-knit, student-centred character and approximately 1,600 full-time students. Its model emphasizes accessible faculty relationships and opportunities for students to complete research with professors, creating a practical pathway for organizations seeking emerging talent and community-informed insight. The university’s Office of Experiential Learning and Career Development coordinates paid internships, service learning, and community engagement with more than 40 organizations, including public agencies, nonprofits, and businesses across New Brunswick. Research is supported through an Office of Research Services, internal funding, research chairs, and affiliated research centres; major federal support is most conservatively described as competitive funding, particularly from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
