Knox Seminary Graduates Encouraged to Cultivate Trust Knox Theological Seminary Graduation 2024 Trinity International University phased out TIU-Florida undergraduate and graduate program operations at the end of its 2024 Spring Semester. A statement posted on the University’s website reads, “As we know, higher education nationwide has faced substantial challenges, notably heightened over the past few years. Christian institutions have not been immune to these difficulties. While our Florida sites have taken significant steps to stabilize and improve enrollment, after careful deliberation and study, it is with a heavy heart that Trinity’s administration announces, with the Board of Regents approval, our decision to phase out operations at TIUFlorida, effective at the close of the spring 2024 semester.” Board Chair Neil Nyberg (‘74) said that despite the generosity of alumni giving and after extensive analysis and consideration, Trinity’s administration determined TIUFlorida had no viable financial path forward amid enrollment challenges, rising competitive costs, and a small endowment. “Our students remain our top priority,” Trinity College Dean Karen Wrobbel said. “We will assist all currently enrolled students—including those on a leave of absence— with their degree completion needs.” For more information, visit tiu.edu/florida TIU-Florida Ceases Operations JustusMartinPhotography
