Programs of Study
Daily innovations in technology require the ability to adjust and adapt to new developments.
Trinity’s computer science major provides a background in programming and application systems
design and administration. As Christians, we believe that God has created, redeemed, and still
sustains every aspect of the world around us. It is our task to appreciate the beauty and design of
his creation and to use our God-given abilities to subdue it and to use it for His purposes. Shaped
by the liberal arts framework and Christian worldview at Trinity, graduates enter their careers
ready to begin their calling in the workplace or continue to graduate school and respond when
new technology arrives.
Trinity’s proximity to Chicago, with its “high-tech corridor” of national firms and smaller
software companies, provides varied opportunities for field experience. Many computer science
majors have worked at Argonne National Laboratories through the cooperative education
program while in the final semesters at Trinity.
