About This School

Trinity Baptist College is a private nonprofit institution located in Jacksonville, Florida with approximately 386 undergraduate students enrolled. Trinity Baptist College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 53%. The average net price after financial aid is $20,011 per year.

Trinity College of Jacksonville (TCJ) is a private independent Baptist college in Jacksonville, Florida. It was founded as Trinity Baptist College in 1974 by Trinity Baptist Church. It is accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — the relatively low debt at graduation ($11,500) is a genuine bright spot, but a 44% graduation rate and 52% freshman retention rate suggest that nearly half of students who start here don't finish, which is a serious concern worth asking the school about directly. Median earnings of $33,300 a decade out are modest, so this college makes the most sense if you're specifically drawn to its Baptist faith mission and ministry-focused programs rather than chasing career earnings. Worth considering only if the religious community and theological emphasis are central to what you're looking for — otherwise, the retention and completion numbers should give you pause.
