Trine's student population growing

ANGOLA — Trine University’s student population is growing quickly, according to Scott Goplin, the school’s vice president for enrollment management.

 
In a time when many  universities are facing budget cuts and enrollment caps, Trine’s student population is growing. Spring 2011 enrollment has increased more than 5 percent compared to  spring 2010, and Trine’s School of Professional Studies, which caters to the needs of adult students, has grown by more than 12 percent in just one year.

Goplin attributes Trine’s growth to a myriad of factors — from updated facilities and increased housing options to the school’s reputation for challenging academic programs and improved student retention.
 

“This is a truly significant increase,” Goplin said. “These numbers tell us that we are retaining our students and Trine has what they want. We will continue to meet our students’ needs and provide them with rigorous and challenging academic program to make sure every student will be a competitive force in the job market.”
