Campus Trinity's campus is located in Newburgh, Indiana (population 9,000), and is serviced by Evansville Regional Airport. Evansville is ten miles to the west. The population of the two-county region is approximately 200,000. There are several schools in the region, including the University of Evansville and the University of Southern Indiana (Evansville) with which Trinity has made library arrangements for local students.
History Trinity College and Theological Seminary was founded by Dr. John D. Brooke in April 1969. In mid 1978, Trinity moved to Evansville, Indiana. In 1981, the school relocated to Newburgh, Indiana.
In 1978, the school changed its focus from offering traditional on-campus degree programs and off-campus programs, to an emphasis on distance education providing quality undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate degree programs for self-directed adult learners.
In January 1992, Trinity achieved accreditation with the Accrediting Commission for Higher Education of the National Association of Private Nontraditional Schools and Colleges (NAPNSC). In July 1997, Trinity had all of its degree programs accredited by a major British institution, the University of Liverpool. In July 2002, Canterbury Christ Church University College assumed responsibility for the accreditation of Trinity's degree programs.
Trinity enrolls students who desire to complete a degree program through various innovative distance education learning formats and delivery systems. The school offers distance education courses, online courses, dispersed-residency intensive seminars in the United States and the United Kingdom, and an annual Human Rights Conference in France (available for academic credit).

[edit] Accreditation
The NAPNSC, through which Trinity is accredited, is not one of the regional or national accrediting agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education. [1] In 2004, Trinity was granted candidate status for regional accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. In October of 2006, Trinity withdrew itself from the accreditation process. [2]
