Ivy Tech Fort Wayne/Warsaw offers new transfer opportunities with Indiana Wesleyan

Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne and Warsaw is excited to announce a new partnership with Indiana Wesleyan University that focuses on creating a seamless transfer experience between the two institutions.

"Indiana Wesleyan University is proud to partner with Ivy Tech Fort Wayne to provide affordable and accessible pathways to advanced degrees and job preparation,” says Dr. Andy Miller, Vice President of Strategic Enrollment and Partnerships at Indiana Wesleyan. “At IWU, we deeply value the work of the Ivy Tech campuses, our close partnership, and the impact of this work in serving students." 

Highlights of this partnership include:

• Seamless transfer of credits from several degree programs that allow students to easily transfer on to a bachelor or master’s track
• Discount offered on most program tuition upon graduation from Ivy Tech
• Puts nursing students on a “fast-track” to obtaining a master’s degree

The partnership allows for a seamless transfer of credits for many programs including nursing, business, and psychology. With these transfers, students have the opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s or even a master’s (nursing) in five years or less.

Both institutions have a mission to remove barriers that would prevent students from pursuing the career they’re working towards. Ivy Tech graduates could be eligible for a 15% discount of program tuition for most degree programs. This only applies to tuition and is not accepted at IWU-Marion, Wesley Seminary, School of Health Sciences, doctoral, and graduate counseling programs.

Ivy Tech graduates who enroll in IWU’s nursing program not only have a chance to receive their master’s, but they will be eligible for the preferred tuition rate of $250 per credit hour for undergraduate courses and a 15% tuition discount for graduate courses.

“I am excited for the additional opportunities this partnership provides our students,” says Heidi Fowler, Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. “The pathway from associate to bachelor to master’s degree in five years is a great way to move our students forward at the Speed of Life.”
