Moving up four spots from the previous year, Trinity Christian College has been ranked 24th among Regional Colleges—Midwest by U.S.News & World Report in “Best Colleges” for 2016. A total of 363 colleges are ranked in the entire Regional category.

In addition, the College was ranked 17th among Regional Colleges—Midwest in the category of “Best Colleges for Veterans.” This category includes the top-ranked schools that offer benefits that help make a college education more affordable for veterans. Trinity was also included in the 11 Regional Colleges designated as “A+ Schools for B Students,” a category for institutions providing an environment in which determined and hard-working students can thrive.

“We are honored to be recognized as a college that excels in academics and offers an exceptional learning experience for a diverse student body,” said President Kurt Dykstra. “We at Trinity look forward to an outstanding year that lives up to and, quite frankly, exceeds these respected rankings.”

The U.S. News rankings are based on several criteria, including peer assessment, graduation and freshmen retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, and alumni giving.

Trinity stands among other institutions in the Regional Colleges category that offer a wide range of degree programs in the liberal arts and in fields such as business, education, and nursing. This fall, the college added a number of new majors, including Bioinformatics, Digital Design, Environmental Science, and Music Production.
