Secure Your Future as a Prestigious Kiest Morgan Scholar
Ten years ago, when Thomas College launched its three-year bachelor’s degree program within the H. Allen Ryan School of Business, the Kiest-Morgan Scholar program was one of the first programs of its kind in the country, and is available to newly entering, first-time undergraduates with a qualifying GPA.
Since then, Thomas College has expanded the three-year option to nearly all academic programs and added a +1 (one year) graduate program offering.
Thomas is one of only a handful of institutions in the country with this degree program and is the only one of its kind in Maine.

Reflecting on Back to School Season
Vol. II, Issue 5
Here we go again! It’s back-to-school season, and we are thrilled to have our Terriers back on campus! I realized this week as I was enjoying everyone’s first day of class (FDOC!) pictures that since my first day of kindergarten at age five, I have always had a first day of school. I’ve spent more than 90% of my life in education, and I plan to keep the streak going!
