Study Abroad
Take the world by storm
At Trine, learning without limits is about seeing and doing. When you study abroad, you'll combine your studies with firsthand experiences such as immersing yourself in foreign cultures, learning new languages and exploring the world.
As a student traveling abroad, you'll learn what it means to be a global citizen while preparing to work with international companies, diverse people and a global economy.

Pick your program
Trine offers three separate study abroad programs. You can enroll in semester, year-long or summer programs through our partner providers, International Studies Abroad (ISA) and GlobaLinks Learning Abroad, or through our partner universities. Most students opt for one semester (typically the second semester of sophomore year or the first semester of junior year) or a summer session (typically the summer between sophomore and junior years or between junior and senior years).
You could also consider an internship, study/internship combo or service learning abroad programs. Most programs require that the student's cumulative grade point average be at least 2.5 and some require at least 3.0.
For further information regarding study abroad opportunities, please contact Dr. Haseeb Kazi, Director of Study Abroad, at 260.665.4248 or kazih@trine.edu.
