Trine University plans to welcome nearly 15,000 students across its campuses, education
centers and online this fall.
The number is about an 18% increase over 12,711 enrolled in the fall 2023 headcount
and is almost triple the total enrollment from fall 2021.
“We’re proud to continue shattering enrollment records while enhancing the student
experience at Trine University,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., Trine University president.
“As more students recognize the value of the personal attention, state-of-the-art
facilities and career preparation offered with their Trine education, we are proud
to equip them with the tools to achieve their career and life goals.”
“The quality of the education we offer at Trine speaks for itself, not only in our
record enrollment but in more than a decade of job placement in excess of 99 percent
for our graduates.”
The university continues to expand facilities to support its ongoing growth and ensure
students have access to modern, state-of-the-art amenities.
Trine will soon break ground on a new 200-bed student housing facility, set to begin
serving its Angola campus in the fall of 2025.
The university opened a 36,000-square-foot expansion to Best Hall of Science in fall
2023 to accommodate increased growth in its Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences
and began holding classes this fall in the 110,000-square-foot Dr. Earl D. and Melanie
N. Brooks College of Health Professions facility in Fort Wayne.
Trine University continues to introduce new academic programs that meet industry needs
and result in successful careers for its graduates.
The Trine University Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is hosting their second annual car show on Saturday, Sept. 14, from noon to 5 p.m. This event will take place in the Best Hall parking lot across from the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
Larry Garatoni, Board President of Career Academy Network of Public Schools, an Education One Charter School Network, has been appointed to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, as announced by Governor Eric J. Holcomb in June.
Trine University will formally dedicate its new Dr. Earl D. and Melanie N. Brooks College of Health Professions (BCHP) facility, located at 12817 Parkview Plaza Drive, Fort Wayne, on Sept. 27.
