Thomas More University is a private Catholic university in Crestview Hills, Kentucky, United States. It serves about 2,000 full and part-time students. The university was founded in 1921 by the local Benedictine Sisters as Villa Madonna College.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the $14,376 median debt at graduation is impressively low and median earnings of $58,900 are solid for a small Catholic school, the 40% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention rate are real warning signs that many students don't finish what they start. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit, faith-based campus in the Cincinnati metro area and have a clear plan for staying on track — but ask hard questions about academic support before committing.
