Founded by Presbyterians in 1869, in Tehuacana, Texas, Trinity subsequently
moved to Waxahachie, Texas, in 1902. Forty years later, at the invitation
of the city, Trinity relocated to the near west side of San Antonio
and to its permanent campus in 1952. Although governed by an independent
Board of Trustees, Trinity maintains a covenant relationship with
the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
Trinity offers 36 majors and 11 interdisciplinary minors. In addition
to strength in the liberal arts and sciences, these majors include
professional programs in communication, education, business administration,
engineering science, and computer science. Degrees offered include
the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Music.
Two five-year programs lead to a bachelor's degree followed by a master's
degree in teaching or accounting. Additionally, Trinity offers the
Master of Arts degree in school administration and school psychology,
and a Master of Science degree in health care administration.
