Middle College

Welcome to Trine University’s Middle College program for high school students. It’s an amazing opportunity to begin earning college credit while you’re still in high school. As a dual-enrollment program, Trine’s Middle College courses count toward both high school and college.

Classes
There are two options for taking classes through the Trine University Middle College. The Campus Experience is when high school students take university courses on the campus of Trine University with other full-time students during part of the school day. The Academic Experience is a program in the high schools taught by fully-qualified adjunct professors who are also high school teachers. The courses are offered on your high school campus during the regular school day.

Earning Credit
As long as you earn a grade of “C” or better, you’ll receive full college credit on a Trine University transcript. Credit can be applied toward a Trine degree or may be transferred to another university. (To learn about credit applicability or transferability, check with the Trine Registrar.) As an added benefit, you may be able to simultaneously earn high school credit.

Low Cost
Expect to pay very little for Middle College courses. Our partnerships with school districts, foundations, and local businesses mean we can offer the courses for minimal fees. The current maximum course cost is $125 per credit hour. Additional fees are added for online courses.
