Attention High School Students

Taking Ivy Tech courses while in high school gives you the opportunity to explore future careers and discover your passion while earning college credit! You may even have the ability to complete the Indiana College Core or earn an associate degree before you graduate high school, saving you time and money.  

Indiana College Core

The Indiana College Core ensures that your 30 hours of general education credit transfers between public colleges and universities. By completing this credential with Ivy Tech while you’re still in high school, you can guarantee that most, if not all, of your core college classes will already be completed by the time you begin college, regardless of what school you choose to attend. 

Associate Degree

By working hard to earn your associate degree in high school, you will be ready to transition directly into the workforce and begin a fulfilling career after graduation, or you can seamlessly transfer to a four-year college or university and earn your bachelor’s degree in only two years, saving you thousands of dollars. 

Ivy Tech has 20+ associate degrees that qualify for guaranteed admission to many other four-year institutions around the state. 

Please note: these are real college classes, which means withdrawing from or failing a summer class may impact your academic records. Read more about Ivy Tech’s Class Policies & Grades if you have any concerns.
