A new overseas trip to the Holy Land was one of the more than 25 options students could choose from during Trinity Christian College’s recent, annual two-week Interim.
“The Bible in Its World,” led by theology instructor Emily Thomassen, took 19 students to Israel where they explored ancient sites and hiked over Israel’s rugged terrain.
The course focused on biblical geography and a deeper understanding of Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament.
Meanwhile, Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Ill. is launching two new programs. One is an adult studies bachelor's degree in psychology. The other is an endorsement and certification for special education teachers.
In the new special education program, Special Education LBS II Licensed teachers who hold an LBS I endorsement can join the Master of Arts in Special Education LBS II program.
In two years, students can earn their master’s degree, LBS II Behavior Intervention Specialist endorsement on their teaching license, and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification.
In the new psychology program, adults can apply their previous college credit to Trinity’s Adult Studies psychology program and finish a bachelor’s degree in psychology in two years by attending classes just once a week.
