Beginning in August of 2023, the Theology Department at Trinity High School and Dominican University entered into a dual credit agreement. Trinity students can earn college credit by taking required theology courses at Trinity High School or summer courses at Dominican University. The partnership involves the following:
- University credit (3 Dominican University Theology Credits) earned through this program can be used as Theology course credit at a Catholic university or humanities/elective course credit at a public university in the future. (Subject to university approval.)
- Students who enroll will be able to participate in other opportunities to partner with Dominican University and will be made aware of various Dominican University community events.
- Trinity students attending the Dominican University Summer Course will have access to Dominican University’s library. Students will get a glimpse of university experience while participating in the dual credit opportunity at Dominican University.
- Trinity participants will have access to the Rebecca Crown Library at Dominican University during the semester of their enrollment.
- Program participants will be offered a field trip to Dominican during the school year.
- Trinity High School is exploring options to implement additional enrichment opportunities in the future.
