About this School

It comprises an undergraduate college, a graduate school, a theological seminary, and a law school. Trinity Law School is located in Santa Ana, California; the university also maintains a campus in Miami, Florida. TIU is operated by the Evangelical Free Church of America. Trinity International University is a member of the Christian College Consortium.

History

Tracing its roots to 1897, TIU formed in the late-1940s as the result of merger of three schools:

school run by the Swedish Evangelical Free Church, founded in 1897 in Chicago, Illinois, initially as a 10-week Bible course and then growing into the Swedish Bible Institute of Chicago and finally becoming the Swedish Department of Moody Bible Institute and Seminary;
three-year Bible school, the Norwegian-Danish Bible Institute and Academy, founded in 1910 by the Norwegian-Danish Free Church, established in Rushford, Minnesota and later moving to Minneapolis and becoming Trinity Seminary and Bible Institute;
he Evangelical Free Church Bible Institute and Seminary, established in Chicago in 1925. By 1949, the Minneapolis-based school moved to Chicago and the unified schools became known as Trinity Seminary and Bible College. In 1961 the school moved to a new campus in Bannockburn, Illinois and a year later was renamed Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS). The school grew from an enrollment of 51 in 1961 to 1,400 in 1990. In 1995, TEDS forms Trinity International University, along with Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois, and Trinity College in Miami. In 1997 Trinity Law School, located in Santa Ana, California, is incorporated into Trinity International University and the Trinity Graduate School is founded. In 2005 TIU gained some notoriety when three minority students received racially-charged, threatening letters, causing the administration to move minority students off campus for a number of days. Eventually, it was determined that the letters were sent by a black student who wanted her parents to think that TIU was not a safe place for minorites so they would let her leave the school.
