About Trine
There’s a time and place for thinking and doing. We make both happen at Trine University. Founded in 1884, we’re known for our rigorous academic programs, exceptional faculty, and hands-on experiences that lead to real-world, skill-based knowledge.
The results are phenomenal. The rate at which Trine students find work related to their majors within six months of graduation—at 92 percent—is among the highest in the country. Our graduates’ starting salaries exceed the national average in every category.
Explore. Experience. Excel.
We’re a private, non-denominational institution that grants associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees in more than 30 programs on campus, online, and at four regional education centers. With only 1,450 students, our small class sizes ensure one-on-one attention with faculty who bring their own workplace experience into the classroom. We focus on active participation through more than 60 student organizations, competitive intercollegiate athletics, and extensive co-op and internship opportunities. Plus, you’ll find our nationally recognized education affordable. We award more than $10 million in grants and scholarships annually; more than 90 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid.
National Recognition
U.S. News and World Report and the Princeton Review ranks Trine among the Midwest’s Best Colleges in 2008, 2009 and 2010. We’re accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, and our education, engineering, and business programs are nationally recognized and accredited. The cast metals program was ranked as the best undergraduate cast metals program in the nation by the Foundry Education Foundation.
