Trinity joins University Center of Lake County

Trinity International University has become a participating member of the University Center of Lake County, joining 20 other institutions who are committed to bringing higher education options to the area.

University Center membership includes state-funded universities as well as private schools and faith-based institutions such as Trinity.

Among the benefits of membership are access to computer labs, proctoring, open study and meeting space, and student activities at the center's two facilities in Grayslake and Waukegan.

Trinity has gained approval to conduct classes for its Certificate in Christian Ministries program at the University Center of Lake County facility at 1 N. Genesee St. in downtown Waukegan. The program is designed for adult learners who are not necessarily seeking a degree, but want to enhance personal understanding of ministry and Scripture. Class credits later can be counted toward pursuit of a bachelor's degree. Tuition charges and class schedules are set with working adults in mind.

"We're very pleased to welcome Trinity as a University Center member institution and to share their goal of providing more educational services to northeast Lake County," University Center Executive Director and Dean G. Gary Grace said. "Their Certificate in Christian Ministries will be a welcome addition to our University Center facility in Waukegan."

"We are excited about the possibilities to make a difference in northern Lake County through our relationship with the University Center," said Tom Cornman, dean of Trinity College and Trinity Graduate School. "We now have the ability to work with our partners in the Waukegan and North Chicago areas to provide Christ-centered and Church-connected education to an underserved group of our constituents."

Registration is still open for the new Certificate in Christian Ministries cohort. For more information, visit tiu.edu/nlc.
