The college offers liberal arts and sciences programs with particular strengths in economics, political science, English, and neuroscience, while also housing the first engineering program established at a liberal arts college. Located in an urban setting, Trinity provides guaranteed housing for all four years, with most students residing in the college's mix of historic and modern dormitories, and competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Bantams, notably in squash where both men's and women's teams have achieved national recognition.
