Trinity University
About
Trinity University in San Antonio is highly regarded as one of the nation’s premier liberal arts institutions, particularly renowned for its exceptional integration of a broad-based curriculum with top-tier professional programs like business, engineering, and communication. The student experience is defined by a tight-knit, highly residential campus culture where undergraduates benefit from collaborative, faculty-led research opportunities that are typically reserved for graduate students at larger universities. What truly sets Trinity apart is its stunning, historic mid-century modern campus overlooking the San Antonio skyline and its exceptionally large endowment per student, which generously funds undergraduate study abroad, internships, and merit scholarships.
Wikipedia:Trinity University is a private liberal arts college in San Antonio, Texas. It was founded as a coeducational institution in 1869 by Cumberland Presbyterians as the merger of three schools whose enrollment had dropped during the Civil War. Its first campus in Tehuacana was built on 1,100 acres (450 ha) of land donated by John Boyd. The school moved its campus to Waxahachie in 1902, and finally, San Antonio in 1945.
