Trinity University of Asia (formerly Trinity College of Quezon City), also known as TUA or simply Trinity, is a non-sectarian private university located in Quezon City, Philippines. It was named after Trinity College (Connecticut)[2] whose president then was the founder's father.[3] Formally established in 1963 as an elementary, high school and collegiate educational institution by the Protestant Episcopalians, it dates back its earliest establishment in 1907 when the Trinity University of Asia - St. Luke's College of Nursing, its oldest organic academic unit, was established under the St. Luke's Hospital, the present day St. Luke's Medical Center. It later acquired its university status on July 18, 2006.[4]
Trinity is affiliated with St. Luke's Medical Center as its university hospital, a healthcare institution founded by the Protestant Episcopalians as the third American and Protestant hospital in the Philippines.
Trinity University of Asia is one of only five universities in the Philippines with current Institutional Accreditation granted by the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP).[5][6][7]
The university is also one of few universities in the Philippines that have been granted full autonomous status by CHED.[8][9] As of October 2009, only 44 (2.5%) out of 1,726 higher educational institutions in the Philippines had been granted autonomous status by CHED.[10] Trinity University of Asia is one of the Centers of Development in Nursing Education in the Philippines.
The university is also included in the 2021 TFETIMES "Best Universities in the Philippines" list.[11]
At present, it maintains accord and academic affiliation with the American founded universities in the country, the Central Philippine University and Silliman University.
