EspañolTRINITY COLLEGE (FLORIDA)
(Redirected from Trinity College of Florida)
'Trinity College' is a Bible college located in Trinity, Florida, near Tampa. It was founded as Florida Bible Institute in 1932 by Dr. William T. Watson, a tent preacher from North Carolina and pastor
of a large Christian and Missionary Alliance church in St. Petersburg. The name was changed to Trinity College in 1947. The college's most famous graduate is evangelist Billy Graham (class of 1940).
Over the years the college has expanded its offerings to include youth ministry, worship ministry, counseling and elementary education. In 1998 the college also added an evening degree completion program for adults enabling those with families and careers to benefit from a Trinity education.
The college is accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education.[1] In 2005 the school applied for regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). In December 2005, SACS reviewed the college and rejected the application for accreditation.[2] "The Commission reviewed the institution’s application and determined that Trinity College of Florida failed to provide information demonstrating its compliance with Core Requirement 2.5 (Institutional Effectiveness), Core Requirement 2.7.1 (Program Length), Core Requirement 2.7.2 (Program Content), Core Requirement 2.8 (Faculty), Comprehensive Standard 3.7.1 (Faculty), and Core Requirement 2.9 (Learning Resources and Services) of the Principles of Accreditation.[3]The College reapplied for candidacy with SACS in August, 2007.
An important characteristic of the College has always been its distinctly evangelical but interdenominational nature. At Trinity students from a wide variety of Christian backgrounds have the opportunity to study the Bible in an atmosphere of tolerance and respect. The College believes this type of education best serves its students as they prepare to live and serve in a world where denominational distinctions among evangelicals are becoming less important.
