DEC. 18  – Trine University has again posted a high graduate employment rate, bringing its three-year average to 98.3 percent. Trine has a 98.8 percent rate for 2015 grads, 99.7 percent for 2014 grads and 96.5 percent for 2013 grads.

Within six months of graduating, 98.8 percent of 2015 grads were employed or continuing their education, such as graduate school.

“We are committed to ensuring a strong return on investment for a Trine degree,” said Earl D.
