U.S. News & World Report has recognized Trine University in its 2026 Best Colleges rankings, released Sept. 23.
Trine was included among the publication’s top Midwest regional colleges, as well as its ranking for undergraduate engineering programs.
“We’re honored and proud to once again be included among the elite colleges of the Midwest,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., Trine University president. “Our students and families value the career-focused curriculum, personal attention and excellent facilities that make up our educational mix at Trine University, and we’re pleased that organizations such as U.S. News & World Report recognize this value as well.”
Using a wide range of data sources, U.S. News analysts and editors calculated more than 80 Best Colleges rankings, all with the intent of enabling students and their families to identify colleges that best meet their needs. The rankings highlight colleges that excel in such areas as value, social mobility, teaching, veterans’ needs, HBCUs and in six academic disciplines (business, computer science, engineering, nursing, economics and psychology).
Trine University students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Two Trine University faculty members recently participated in the biennial Actuarial Teaching Conference (ATC), held July 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.
Trine University has been selected to be part of a national program to help campuses respond to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) presents for courses, curricula and higher education in general.
