Trine considers campus in Peoria, Arizona

ANGOLA, Ind. (WANE) - Trine University and the city of Peoria, Arizona have entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement to explore the development of a branch campus in Peoria. This campus will offer bachelor and master’s degrees in engineering.

The purpose of the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement is to provide both parties with an opportunity to determine the project’s parameters including the site plan, the program roll-out, student enrollment targets, as well as identify partners to the project. The results of the negotiations will be determined over the next few months.

“We are very pleased to explore the possibilities in Peoria. Trine’s engineering program is the culmination of more than a century of experience, and this is an exciting opportunity for us to invest in educational advances in yet another community to provide educational resources for students that will, in turn, meet the needs of the region in terms of workforce development, technical training and access to private, nonprofit higher education,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., president of Trine University.

Trine University offers more than 35 degree programs on its main campus, as well as online and at regional campuses and education centers throughout Indiana and Michigan.
