Liberal Arts

The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science in Liberal Arts are transfer programs that provide you with an opportunity to complete the first two years of study leading to a bachelor's degree in liberal arts areas. Articulation agreements have been established with all the public, four-year universities in Indiana so that if you complete your associate degree, you may fulfill the requirements for a related bachelor's degree in an additional two years of full-time study at the university. Check out the Ivy Tech Guided Pathway to Success (Ivy Tech GPS) icons to map out your pathway for success.


DEGREES AVAILABLE Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and short- term Certificate. NOTE: The number of credits required for a degree or certification is based on students who are program-ready and does not include non-academic skills courses. Availability of degrees varies by campus. Contact your campus of interest below for more information.


CERTIFICATE: LIBERAL ARTS (Minimum of 30 credit hours)
Short-term certificates are sequences of technical and professional courses that are industry focused and designed for workforce preparation. They provide access to targeted, short-term training in a discipline, and completers may sit for specific certification exams. Courses in certificate programs also apply toward technical certificates and associate degree programs in the subject area. This degree is also available online. See below for more information.
