Trine University

What are the graduation rates for students at Trine University?

Trine's reported six-year graduation rate is 64% for the applicable first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 52%. These rates describe groups of entering students over defined periods, not the probability that any individual applicant will graduate on a particular date.

The reported first-year retention rate is 80%, meaning that roughly four in five students in the measured entering cohort returned for the following fall. Graduation-rate measures commonly exclude students who entered as transfers or part-time students, so they cannot fully describe outcomes for every Trine learner. A student comparing colleges should also consider whether their major has a prescribed course sequence, how often required classes are offered and whether a transfer-credit evaluation changes their expected completion date.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Trine University?

Federal College Scorecard program data report one-year-after-completion median earnings for some Trine fields. Examples include $68,585 for electrical, electronics and communications engineering and $63,573 for mechanical engineering. The reported figures for business administration and psychology are $36,337 and $30,331, respectively.

These are program-level medians for the students included in the federal earnings measure - not starting-salary offers, averages for every graduate or promises of future pay. They reflect earnings observed at a particular point after completion and can be affected by the mix of occupations, locations and further-study choices within a field. Small cohorts and privacy rules also limit which programs have reportable figures. Earnings are useful for comparing reported outcomes, but they do not capture job satisfaction, career growth, graduate study or the cost of borrowing to complete the degree.
