1 / 5

Trinity College is a federated college of the University of Toronto, founded in 1851 as Canada's oldest Anglican theological foundation and now the smallest of the seven colleges within the university's Faculty of Arts & Science.

Set on the historic St. George Campus in downtown Toronto, Trinity enrolls roughly 2,400 undergraduates alongside about 100 students in its own Faculty of Divinity.

Undergraduates admitted to Trinity take courses across the full range of University of Toronto programs while also gaining access to a handful of interdisciplinary programs that Trinity itself sponsors on the Faculty of Arts & Science's behalf, including Ethics, Society & Law, International Relations, and Immunology. The College's Faculty of Divinity, a founding member of the Toronto School of Theology, offers professional and graduate theological degrees, including the Master of Divinity and Master of Theological Studies, conferred by Trinity jointly with the University of Toronto.

Every credential earned through Trinity carries full University of Toronto standing.

Students benefit from small-group seminars, dedicated academic and pastoral support, historic residences, the John W. Graham Library, and a strong record of graduates continuing on to Rhodes Scholarships and careers in law, public policy, journalism, business, and ordained ministry.

Notable alumni include Adrienne Clarkson, Malcolm Gladwell, and Ted Rogers.
