Trine University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Trine University (formerly Tri-State University) is a private U.S. Midwest university with its main campus located in Angola, Indiana, along with branch campuses for the School of Professional Studies in South Bend, Merrillville, northern Angola, and Fort Wayne.

Founded in 1884 as Tri-State Normal College, the university has been traditionally noted for its engineering program; however, it also offers degrees in arts & sciences, teaching, areas of business, entrepreneurship, and golf management. Trine University has also begun a masters program in engineering technology, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering. The School of Professional Studies also offers a masters of science in criminal justice at its Fort Wayne branch campus. For many years, its mascot was the Trojans, however Trine University changed their mascot to the Thunder in 1990.

On August 1, 2008, Tri-State University formally changed its name to Trine University. On September 24, 2007, the university trustees announced that the university would be changing its name in response to the need to represent itself as a premier private institution; losing its reference to a state funded institution in its name as well as losing the geographic reference to the Tri-State area. The trustees have honored alumnus Ralph Trine (BSME '61) and his family with the renaming honors.

Student life

Students at Trine come from many different parts of the country, though most typically hail from the Midwest states of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Trine University also hosts a small-sized population international students, primarily from the South Pacific, the PRC, South America, and India. The University requires that all students not living with a legal guardian and under the class standing of junior to live in one of its on-campus resident halls (Fabiani, Stewart, Alwood, Cameron, Platt, and Conrad). Trine also has recently built the Trine and Ingledue Villas, apartment-style housing for juniors and seniors meeting academic standards on campus. Also, since the fall semester of 2007, students have three new apartment-style dorms to live in. These new dorms feature suite-style living. Each apartment has two or three bedrooms, with two students in each room. Freshmen are permitted to have cars on campus. National fraternities on the campus include Alpha Sigma Phi, Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Theta, Sigma Phi Epsilon,Tau Kappa Epsilon, Triangle Fraternity, and Sigma Phi Delta. Sororities on campus include the local organizations Gamma Phi Epsilon, Zeta Theta Epsilon, Kappa Sigma Alpha, Alpha Theta Pi and Phi Sigma, and a national colony of Alpha Sigma Tau. The school features a very active Christian Campus House ministry.
