Transparency in Higher Education
At Trine University, we are committed to providing clear and accessible information to help students make informed decisions about their education. In accordance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, universities are required to share key details about academic programs, retention and graduation rates, campus safety, financial aid, and more. This ensures fairness and transparency for all higher education consumers.
We believe that access to this information empowers prospective students and their families to choose the best path for their future.
