Trinity College of Florida

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Trinity College is a Bible college (established 1932) located in Temple Terrace in Hillsborough County, Florida. Named "Best Buy" in private colleges and universities in the continental U.S. by Consumers Digest Magazine, Trinity College of Florida remains an institution for students seeking four- and two-year degrees. The College’s preparation involves state-of-the-art classroom training, career advancement, community service, internships, and personal support from fellow students, faculty, and staff. With alumni serving around the world in the areas of ministry, economic relief, business, education, government, human services, and communications, Trinity College of Florida is committed to impacting humanity.

The institution was founded as Florida Bible Institute in Temple Terrace by Dr. William T. Watson, a tent preacher from North Carolina and pastor of a large Christian and Missionary Alliance church in St. Petersburg. Dr. Watson felt the call of God that he establish a Bible college for the training of Christian workers. The name was changed to Trinity College in 1947.

Well known evangelist Billy Graham enrolled at Trinity College in 1937 and graduated in 1940. Jimmy G. Tharpe (1930-2008), founder of Louisiana Baptist University in Shreveport, Louisiana, received bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees from Trinity in the 1950s.

Trinity 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/
