Study: San Antonio's Trinity University ranks among best U.S. liberal arts schools

The University of Texas at San Antonio might have the town's highest-profile college sports program, but another, older Alamo City campus earned high academic marks in a recent study by education-information website Niche. Trinity University landed prominently in Niche's annual rankings, including being named the nation's No. 20 best small school and No. 19 best liberal arts school in the U.S. The school also came in as the No. 4 best university in Texas overall and the best liberal arts college in the Lone Star State. Niche ranked colleges and universities across the U.S. using 12 categories.
