Discover Where You are Right Now

Knowing where you are helps to discover where to go next. 

• You know what you don’t want to major in. That’s good. You know what doesn’t interest you. It’s a great starting point. From here we will help you explore areas that do interest you.
• You have an area of interest, but unsure of which major to pursue within that area. At Trine University a general major lets you explore the different disciplines within the department while still working towards degree requirements. For example, if you are interested in Business but uncertain of which discipline, you can begin in General Business and explore the different Business majors while completing the general education requirements and business core.
• You know where you want to end up but are not sure how to get there. We’ve got you covered. Let us know your end goal and we will map out the major, or majors, that will help get you there.
• You have all these dual credits and want to make the most of them. We can help with that. We are always happy to complete an evaluation of your transfer credits so you can see how they will transfer into a specific program(s), as well as offer guidance for additional credits you can take that will transfer toward degree completion.
• You are unsure about a major and feeling a little overwhelmed. That’s OK. Here at Trine University, we will help you every step of the way. You are right where you belong. You are Thunderous. 

Discover. Declare. Trine will get you there.
