Trinity University is a private liberal arts college located in San Antonio, Texas, renowned for its rigorous academic programs, particularly in fields such as history, education, business, and the sciences. Founded in 1869 by Cumberland Presbyterians through the merger of three schools whose enrollments had declined during the Civil War, the university began as a coeducational institution on a 1,100-acre campus in Tehuacana, Texas, donated by John Boyd. It relocated to Waxahachie in 1902 and finally to San Antonio in 1945, where it has since established itself as a leading undergraduate institution emphasizing small class sizes, research opportunities, and a 'future-ready' liberal arts education. The university maintains a student-faculty ratio that fosters personalized learning and has been ranked 37th among national liberal arts colleges for the 2025–2026 academic year by U.S. News & World Report. Under the leadership of President Vanessa Beasley, Trinity focuses on preparing students for diverse careers through interdisciplinary studies and global engagement. The university's alumni network includes notable figures such as John Hagee, a prominent televangelist and founder of Christians United for Israel. Trinity's campus in San Antonio spans 250 acres and features modern facilities, including state-of-the-art labs and a performing arts center, supporting a vibrant student life with over 100 clubs and organizations. As a Presbyterian-affiliated institution, it upholds values of intellectual inquiry and community service, though it operates independently. With an enrollment of approximately 2,700 undergraduates, Trinity attracts students from across the United States and internationally, offering generous financial aid and a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
