Not surprisingly, there are good professors and bad professors at Trinity. Because the school and class sizes are so small, students feel they receive a lot of individual attention—something you just won’t get at larger universities. In several classes, professors have been known to bring in cake or beer, and even invite students over to their houses for hors d’ouevres. One professor even cooked his students a three-course meal during class! Not only are many of the professors at Trinity personable and social with the students, but also a number of them have received honorable awards from organizations such as the National Endowment of the Arts and NASA, which speaks for their expertise and backgrounds. Trinity students almost always find their classes interesting. Because students feel that the majority of Trinity professors respect them and are genuinely concerned with their academic well-being, students respect their professors in return and want to listen to what they have to say. In addition, because all faculty members teach both introductory and advanced courses in their discipline, there is a unique opportunity for students to take a favorite professor repeatedly, which helps to foster great relationships between the students and faculty.

By and large, Trinity’s professors display enthusiasm and expertise in their respective subjects. In every department, there are professors whose classes fill up rapidly and who have the ability to make any subject fascinating, whether it is Shakespeare, astronomy, or business and finance. |

The teachers are really good about giving help. Most of them care, and they’re flexible if you’re a good student. I’ve been blown away by so many of my professors, and most of the classes still have me thinking. |

The Tutorial College program was...
The Tutorial College program was created by members of Trinity’s faculty who wanted to inspire dedicated sophomores to develop lasting relationships with their professors, taking the opportunity not only to learn, but perhaps to teach. The program requires professors to read and explore areas beyond their expertise, which they do happily, in order to further the experiences of their students. These few faculty members are a microcosm of the dedicated professors that Trinity employs. |

The professors at Trinity are...
The professors at Trinity are great. They are able to answer all your questions no matter what the subject. If they don’t know the answer to your question, they’ll help you figure it out either by referring you to other sources, or approaching the problem themselves. |

For the most part, the teachers at...
For the most part, the teachers at Trinity are very helpful and enthusiastic about their work. I have yet to come across a professor who isn’t enthralled by his or her subject matter, or who doesn’t go beyond the call of duty to help his or her students. I think that Trinity’s professors are one of its most valuable assets. The professors work hard to challenge their students, but they’re always willing to help. My one complaint would be that Trinity is beginning to focus more on the price tag associated with good teaching rather than the value it brings to the college as a whole. Several of my former teachers are no longer working at Trinity due to budget cuts. |
