Trinity International University (TIU) is an evangelical Christian liberal arts institution of higher education headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, United States. It comprises an undergraduate college, a graduate school, a theological seminary (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School), a law school, and a camp called Timber-lee —together with about 2,700 students.Trinity Law School is located in Santa Ana, California; the university also maintains campuses in Florida and Dolton, Illinois ; the camp is located in East Troy, Wisconsin. TIU is operated by the Evangelical Free Church of America.
Tracing its roots to 1897, TIU formed in the late 1940s as the result of a merger of two schools:
These two schools merged in 1949 to become Trinity Seminary and Bible College in Chicago.
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) and Trinity College. The school grew from an enrollment of 51 in 1961 to 1,400 in 1990. In 1995, TEDS became part of Trinity International University, along with Trinity College in Deerfield, Illinois, and Trinity College in Miami, (formerly Miami Christian College which was obtained through a merger of the two institutions). In 1997 Trinity Law School, located in Santa Ana, California, was incorporated into Trinity International University and the Trinity Graduate School was founded. Also runs distance education in Africa with New World Mission Dunamis International University.
