Trine University’s spring enrollment has once again set a record, with more than 13,000 enrolled across all locations and platforms.
Trine had 13,513 students enrolled in all programs for the spring 2025 semester in its official headcount, almost 5% above the 12,891 enrolled a year ago.
Among the areas seeing significant enrollment increases were programs offered through the Brooks College of Health Professions in Fort Wayne.
Last fall, Trine University opened a $42.5 million, 110,000-square-foot facility near Parkview Regional Medical Center to serve those programs.
“Our students and families recognize that Trine University not only creates degree programs that meet community needs while providing well-paying employment opportunities for our graduates, we also invest in the infrastructure to provide a high-quality education for the growing number of students in those areas,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., Trine University president.
“When you factor in the personal attention our students receive from expert faculty, it makes for a winning combination that continues to draw increased numbers of students to Trine.”
The university also saw significant year-over-year growth in the number of new students starting at its Angola campus and in the number of dual enrollment students it is serving.
“We’re proud that the number of high schools, homeschool students and parents who recognize that Trine is a quality, affordable option for earning college credit continues to grow,” said Kim Bennett, vice president for enrollment management.
“And of course, we’re really pleased that a number of those students recognize the quality of a Trine education and decide to complete their degree here.”
Trine’s continued strong career outcomes for its graduates also continues to attract students to the university. Trine University recently announced that 99.1% of its Class of 2024 had obtained their desired career outcome within six months of graduation.
Trine’s placement average has been more than 99% over the past 12 years.
