Ivy Tech Community College (Ivy Tech) is a public community college system in the U.S. state of Indiana. It is the state's public community college system and it has more than 40 locations.[2] It is also the state's largest public postsecondary institution, and the nation's largest individual accredited statewide community college system, serving nearly 100,000 students annually on campus and online and another 60,000+ dual credit students in high schools throughout Indiana.[2] It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

History

[edit]

Ivy Tech was founded in 1963 as Indiana's Vocational Technical College in order to provide technical and vocational education for various industries. It was rechartered as a system of vocational technical schools in 2005. The name "Ivy Tech" derives from an initialism (I.V. Tech) of the school's original name. The name was officially changed to Ivy Tech State College in 1995.[3]

In 1999, Ivy Tech entered into a partnership with Vincennes University to form the Community College of Indiana. The partnership ended in 2005 and Ivy Tech was re-chartered as a system of community colleges and renamed Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana. In 2008, the Indiana University system agreed to shift most of its associate (2-year) degrees to the Ivy Tech Community College System.[4]

In 2019, Ivy Tech entered into a partnership with the University of Virginia which will allow Ivy Tech undergraduates to complete their four-year degrees online at that university.[5]

Academics

[edit]

The college offers more than 70 programs across its campuses and instructional sites, with programs divided across eight different schools:[6]

  • School of Business, Logistics and Supply Chain
  • School of Public Affairs and Social Services
  • School of Information Technology
  • School of Arts, Sciences and Education
  • School of Health Sciences
  • School of Nursing
  • School of Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering and Applied Science
  • School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Ivy Tech offers hands-on experience with some of the state's most advanced technologies and training facilities, plus the convenience of more than 1,000 online classes, and the attention that comes with a small average class size of 22.[2] Ivy Tech has transfer partnerships with four-year universities/colleges across Indiana, with several out-of-state partnerships as well.
