About Ivy Tech

WE MEET STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE

At Ivy Tech we have the resources, focus, and flexibility to meet students where they are, then walk with them to where they’re going.

No two students’ paths to the future look the same. We get that. So, we listen. We support. We guide. With 70+ academic programs and classes in 75+ communities in Indiana—plus online—you’ll be able to find your fit for the next step in your career.

And that career will lead you to your better life, every day from graduation on.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE?

A community college is what the name implies: It is a higher education institution that primarily serves its surrounding community. Community colleges are the most common type of two-year colleges in the U.S. Community colleges like Ivy Tech offer millions of students a better way to reach their goals— whether that goal is to get a good-paying career fast, or to get a better, more affordable start to a bachelor’s degree by transferring credits on to a four-year school.

Ivy Tech is the largest singly-accredited community college in the country.

Hear From Our Grads

“Ivy Tech has prepared me for life beyond college. By attending Ivy Tech, I was granted many different opportunities that I would not have gotten by going straight to Purdue. This includes saving enough money to graduate with an associate, bachelors, minor, and certificate debt free. While at Ivy Tech, I met and interned with my current employer Bane-Welker. The college paired me with the company that has forged my future.”

–Sam O. | Associate of Agriculture
“Ivy Tech has changed my professional life in every way. I now have a career and not just a job. Outside of work, it's changed my life critically. All of my friends and family are now inspired.”

–Chaz J. | Associate of Industrial Technology
“Ivy Tech provided the knowledge and hands on experience to be able to work in any healthcare environment, whether it be inpatient, outpatient, long term care, traveling nurse, etc. The instructors encouraged us to explore all options of patient care how to apply our clinical knowledge in real life situations. Plus, Ivy Tech has helped me become a better role model for my family, friends and community.”

–Tiffany W. | Associate of Nursing, Associate of Medical Assisting, Technical Certificate of Phlebotomy
“Ivy Tech was the closest and most affordable option for a degree in Interior Design. I was able to work full time and attend classes at night. Without Ivy Tech, I would not be where I am today, obtaining my associates degree and working for a great company.”

–Joshua A. | Associate of Interior Design
