Help others with an exercise science degree

The Bachelor of Science in exercise science degree at Trine University emphasizes an in-depth understanding of the human body, injuries, illnesses, and how to maximize human performance. Approximately 70% of our graduates pursue graduate school in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training or related fields.

The experience: Internships and professional connections

The Bachelor of Science in exercise science features a global health study abroad trip, offered every two years, as well as undergraduate capstone projects and internship placement on a national scale. Trine's affiliation with the American College of Sports Medicine and the Health Science Student Association further enhances professional connections through conference attendance and engagement with professionals in the field.

You will become immersed in community projects including the “Therapeutic Twinges Water Program” or "Active Science," helping you apply exercise technology to improve mobility and physical activity. Internships include Chula Vista, California, at the Olympic Training Center; Indiana Physical Therapy Centers; and AWP/Athletes with Purpose in Sports Performance helping with the NFL Combine Training Program for top college draft picks.

It’s easy to talk about excellence . But it’s another thing altogether to truly commit yourself to it each and every day. To live it. To inspire it in everything around you. At Trine University, this commitment to excellence has formed the bedrock of our experience for well over a century. You’ll see it, and you’ll feel it, the second you step on our beautiful, 450-acre campus in Angola, Indiana. Few schools can say they’ve been getting it done at such a high level for nearly 130 years. We can.

A Commitment to Excellence

From our programs to our faculty, to our facilities, to the positive impact our work has on communities everywhere, we set our standards at Trine just a little higher. We can’t help it. It’s who we are. It’s why U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review consistently rank us among the Midwest’s best universities, and it’s why more than 1,900 companies around the world seek out our graduates.

An Innovative Spirit

Innovation is in our DNA at Trine. It always has been. In fact, the modern-day golf ball was patented by a Trine graduate. Our students enjoy an active and engaging learning experience, winning national awards for the hands-on work they accomplish. We’ve invested more than $8 million in the Division of Innovation and Technology. And we recently unveiled a new, high-tech Project Based Learning Center for Excellence.
