Bourbonnais, IL – Two respected Christian institutions in the Chicagoland area are joining forces to ensure students can continue their education with confidence and support.
Olivet Nazarene University and Trinity Christian College have announced a new transfer partnership designed to welcome Trinity students to Olivet’s Bourbonnais campus, offering a smooth transition for those wishing to continue their undergraduate studies.
“We recognize that students’ paths through higher education can take unexpected turns,” said Dr. Mark Reddy, Vice President for Enrollment Management at Olivet. “When Trinity students are ready to continue their academic journey, we want them to know there’s a place for them at Olivet—a community that shares their commitment to faith-centered learning and academic excellence.”
The partnership reflects both universities’ shared mission to provide Christ-centered liberal arts education that prepares students for meaningful careers and service. Under the agreement, transferring students will benefit from streamlined credit transfers, dedicated advising, and access to Olivet’s 140+ areas of study.
Olivet also emphasizes its commitment to affordability, awarding more than $110 million in financial aid annually to keep Christian education accessible for all students.
“This isn’t just about transferring credits,” Dr. Reddy added. “It’s about welcoming students into a community where they belong, where dedicated faculty will mentor them and where they can discover their unique calling.”
