The institution was founded as Florida Bible Institute in Temple Terrace by Dr. William T.

Question: Has anyone Ever heard of Trinity College?If you have, I'm trying to figure out all of there rules and regulations for this college. Also, how good is the college compared to others? It's the one in New Port Richey, Florida.Thanks.20 months ago
Best AnswerTrinity College of Florida is a small Christian school just north of Tampa. It is close to the Gulf of Mexico and is in a very pretty part of Florida. It offers degrees in Christian subjects, elementary education, and general studies. It does not offer degrees in the sciences, computers, business or in management. If you are looking for a Christian education it may be worth looking into. If you want a more more in-depth education in another field it is not the place for you. I don't know what you want to learn about the rules and regulations. Being a Christian school they are probably more strict than a secular school. Here is the school website if you want more information. http://www.trinitycollege.edu/ |
