Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate research is central to Trinity University's values.
Students find ways to weave music into research for other disciplines.
When I started my research, I had no idea where it would lead—now there are other choir directors who want their ensembles to sing this.

Study Abroad
Today, cross-cultural understanding is as much a practical necessity as an educational standard. Study abroad is an embodiment of the liberal arts ideals and a sign of the initiative and breadth often looked for by employers.
From China to Austria, students perform around the world, fully immersing themselves in the very regions from which their music originates. Learning truly takes flight from notes on a page to the history and culture surrounding works of music.
“If you want to learn about performing the language of the world, everybody understands the language of music.”
Office of Experiential Learning
The Office of Experiential Learning provides a place for students to gain information about internships, community service and service-learning opportunities, beyond the classroom course projects, and undergraduate research opportunities.
