EVERY ONE UNIQUE
Pathways to Graduation
When it comes to our curriculum, no two pathways will be the same.
Trinity’s Pathways Curriculum invites you to create an experience which is specific to you and your academic and professional interests and inquiries. The advising team invites you to lean into that which you are naturally curious about and that which piques your interests. The personal is academic, and we fervently believe that you already are that which you seek to be.
Your pathway to graduation is simple: be intentional about the courses you pursue, the questions you ask, the research you do, the opportunities you seek, and the mentoring relationships you foster.
We’re here to help you…
