Trine opening in Columbus, Indiana

Site supports Harrison College partnership

 

A planned partnership between Trine University and Harrison College will become a reality in Columbus, Ind. this fall.

Trine University President Earl D. Brooks II and Harrison College President Jason Konesco announced in July an agreement between Trine’s School of Professional Studies (SPS) and Harrison College that includes a sharing of resources, facilities and complementary programs that will benefit all students pursuing a degree.

As a result of that agreement, Trine SPS will begin offering courses in the Harrison College facility at 2222 Poshard Drive in Columbus when the fall semester begins Aug. 30. The Trine-Harrison agreement includes a two-plus-two arrangement whereby students can complete an associate’s degree at Harrison and then transfer to Trine to complete their undergraduate or graduate degree.

Through Trine’s Roadmap to Success program, Harrison associate degree grads with a 3.0-4.0 grade point average will be eligible for discounted tuition when they transfer into a bachelor degree program at any Trine SPS or Harrison College location. Trine academic advisers will assist transfer students in creating a projected plan with a guaranteed graduation date.

 

Two-year Ivy Tech graduates who meet academic requirements can also transfer into Trine four-year programs, at Columbus or any Trine location.

 

Trine SPS offers bachelor degrees in applied management; business administration with majors in accounting, management, healthcare and human resource management; criminal justice; emergency management; and psychology. In addition, a master degree in criminal justice is available at most locations.

 

Harrison College and Trine University have also agreed to share facilities and classroom space in several existing branch campus locations, and are exploring additional opportunities to serve in the state and nationwide.
