Trinity Christian College is a private, faith-based liberal arts school located in Palos Heights, a suburb southwest of Chicago. The college serves students looking for a Christian educational environment with a traditional four-year degree program. It's a tight-knit community built around Christian values and a commitment to integrating faith with academics.
The college enrolls 883 students and costs $37,825 per year total (tuition, room, and board combined), which is reasonable for a private four-year institution. With an acceptance rate of 88.7%, Trinity admits most students who apply, making it accessible to a wide range of academic backgrounds. The middle 75th percentile for test scores sits around 590 on the SAT reading section, 610 on math, and 28 on the ACT composite.
About 64% of students graduate within six years, which is solid for a school of this size and selectivity. Trinity is best suited for students seeking a smaller college experience rooted in Christian faith, who want to stay in or near the Chicago area, and who are looking for an affordable private option. If you're drawn to faith-based education and prefer a close student community over a large research university, this school is worth a serious look.
