About the Institution
St. Thomas experienced a decade and a half of significant growth from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s. Enrollment during that time grew from about 2,500 mostly male undergraduate students to more than 10,000 undergraduate and graduate women and men. St. Thomas' 46 graduate programs (all but one established over the past quarter century) account for more than half of the university's enrollment. The first graduate program, in education, began in 1950; the second, in business, began with 76 students in 1974. Over the past two decades, St. Thomas has added three new campuses, in Owatonna, downtown Minneapolis, and Rome, Italy. When it established a new academic structure in 1990 with an undergraduate college and graduate schools, St. Thomas changed its name from college to university. It refined its academic structure in 2001 when it established academic divisions that brought together related graduate and undergraduate programs into common schools and colleges. Father Dennis Dease began the 14th presidency of St. Thomas in July 1991. He succeeded Monsignor Terrence Murphy, who was president from 1966 to 1991 and subsequently served as chancellor until his death in 2004.
