Trine University is pleased to announce the launch of a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science degree program. Drawing on its strengths in the sciences and engineering, this program aims to provide students with the necessary skills to understand and address the environmental challenges facing our planet. The new program will be offered through Trine’s Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences, and classes are set to begin in August.
