Celebrating Enrollment Milestones for 2014-15

This fall, Trinity had good enrollment news to celebrate as it began the new academic year. Trinity’s fall enrollment increased to 1,406 students compared with last year’s enrollment total of 1,380. The College’s retention experience was also excellent.

“Our strong retention, which significantly exceeds the national average, indicates that students see the value of a Trinity education, have enjoyed the previous year, know that they are receiving an excellent education, and have experienced the type of faculty-student interaction that permeates our academic learning environment,” said Interim President Liz Rudenga.

In addition, Trinity’s flourishing Honors Program welcomed 23 incoming students, the largest number of students in the history of the program.

Honors Program Director Dr. Craig Mattson credits the result in part with Trinity’s efforts to continuously cultivate a learning culture of excellent education.

The graduate studies program in counseling psychology continues to experience strong growth. More information about the College’s thriving graduate studies programs in counseling psychology and special education is available on the website.

The enrollment number includes students from Chicago neighborhoods who are taking courses at the College’s Austin site through a partnership with By The Hand Club for Kids. Trinity launched the cohort-style, two-year program last year to enroll students who were once served through the By The Hand program and similar programs.
