Preparing for the future by studying the past

Through the history program at Trinity, students take an in-depth look at how culture has been transformed by history. Students learn to read, write, think, and speak with an understanding of what has happened in the past, and our call to transform culture, working toward a future of justice and shalom.

Earning a degree in history at Trinity gives graduates an enhanced worldview.
