Trinity University occupies a hilltop campus in north-central San Antonio, Texas, characterized by red-brick buildings and modern academic facilities spread across 125 acres. Established in 1869 and relocated to its current location in 1942, Trinity combines a liberal arts foundation with professional programs in a selective academic environment. The university is known for its strong programs in business, engineering science, and communications, along with distinctive interdisciplinary offerings in urban studies and international studies. Students are required to live on campus for three years, residing in traditional residence halls or apartment-style housing that spans the university's terraced grounds. Trinity competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Tigers, with particularly strong programs in tennis and swimming.
