Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, also known as Trinity College of the Bible, is a conservative evangelical Bible college and seminary located in Newburgh, Indiana. Trinity offers distance education programs at undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degree levels for self-directed adult learners. Programs include Certificate, Associate, Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate (D.Min., D.R.S., and Ph.D.) studies. In 2006, Trinity claimed more than 7,000 active students worldwide.
In April 1969, John D. Brooke founded Trinity College and Theological Seminary and in mid-1978, Trinity moved to Evansville, Indiana, and changed its focus from offering traditional on-campus degree programs to its current emphasis on distance education, providing undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate courses for self-directed adult learners. Trinity offers various distance education learning formats and delivery systems, such as self-paced independent study courses, online courses, webinars, and face-to-face seminars on-campus and at other locations in the United States. In 1981, the school relocated to Newburgh and current has a nine-building campus.
As of 2013, Trinity also lists about 70 faculty.
In January 1992, Trinity achieved accreditation with the National Association of Private Nontraditional Schools and Colleges, a now defunct organization that is not recognized as an accreditor by the United States Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. As such, its degrees and credits might not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions. Students who attend institutions of higher education that are accredited through associations not recognized by the US Department of Education do not qualify for Title IV funding (Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, etc.).
