While maintaining a theoretical approach to the disciplines, undergirded with a strong core curriculum of philosophy, history, English, and theology, the college has enhanced its offerings to provide students with a broad base of programs in professional areas, such as business, education, and nursing, in addition to the traditional liberal arts. Over half the faculty have terminal degrees in their disciplines. They also remain committed to the principles of Christian education espoused by the college's founders in 1959. Although the student body comes from predominantly Reformed and Presbyterian church backgrounds, there is also a welcome diversity of traditions represented, such as Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, and Roman Catholic. Recalling the years since its founding, the entire Trinity community can boast not only of physical growth, resulting in a beautiful and serviceable campus, but also of a growing responsibility in service to the world and to the greater Chicago community.
Trinity now ranks among the leaders in Christian higher education in North America.
