House Welcome

TSAS has been home to thousands of students over the past 17 years. During this time we maintained a purely liberal arts curriculum for our students. As we have grown, however, the dreams of our students and the abilities of our faculty have expanded, finding a wider vision of our world and our place within it.

For the first time ever, beginning next year, TSAS will offer four graduation plans to ensure that our students will leave us prepared for what comes next. Whether they are dreaming of law school, owning their own business, heading right into the workforce, or designing the first settlement on Mars, we have a graduation plan that will feel like home.

The Capstone

Beginning next year, the TSAS upperclassmen will each embark on a Capstone Project. This will afford them the opportunity to practice in the wider world (or on a real-world issue) what they have learned during their time at TSAS. For some, this may be taking courses at a local university or technical college. For others, this may be getting a job or internship in the field of their choice. Some may wish to remain at TSAS to take advantage of the expertise and guidance of our faculty in tackling an issue that interests them.

Whatever their project, it will culminate in a Capstone Presentation where students share their experiences and newfound understanding with the TSAS community, giving back and inspiring the next generation of TSAS graduates.
