The Trinity College Graduate Studies
Program provides an opportunity for men and
women who wish to continue their studies in a part-time evening graduate program. Although
extant hand-written records suggest that Trinity awarded the Master of Arts
degree as early as 1829, a formal graduate program dates back to 1888. The evening
schedule was instituted in 1927, when women as well as men were admitted to candidacy.
As a result of its experience with part-time graduate study, Trinity
now represents the
following qualities, which enable its students to earn a Master's degree
that represents superior accomplishment:
- a faculty of scholar-teachers;
- a student body that is capable, mature, and highly motivated;
- courses that make efficient use of the students' limited time and work schedules;
- small classes that meet at the College;
- exceptional library resources;
- excellent computing facilities;
- opportunities for independent research;
and
- individualized counseling for adult
students
