"I love Thales College because it is not like most colleges. Thales College emphasizes a high quality education based on truth that has stood the test of time: an education that builds virtue, morals, and character. The professors are truly eager to educate and will spend one-on-one time with students to make sure they understand the material. While Thales delivers a premium education, the College also strives to make tuition as affordable as possible. The cost of a Thales College degree is far below almost every other private college or university in the nation. When I was deciding what college to attend, I was searching for an affordable institution that offered quality education grounded in truth. I found what I was looking for in Thales College."
