Trine expects nearly 15,000 students this fall

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 university launched programs in cybersecurity and environmental science this fall. The Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program will start classes at the Brooks College of Health Professions in May and a new computer science major will launch in fall 2025.
