Career-Focused Degrees or Affordable Transfer Options

Ivy Tech is a great choice whether students want to enter the workforce quickly or continue on toward a bachelor's degree. Ivy Tech offers more than 70 exceptional academic programs statewide that let you hit the ground running. Students can complete an industry-relevant certificate or associate degree in two years or less, or explore transfer opportunities to a four-year institution, all while saving thousands of dollars in avoided tuition costs.

The Most Affordable College Option in Indiana

With full-time, in-state tuition at just under $4,500 per year—plus free textbooks—Ivy Tech is the most affordable college option in Indiana. Scholarships and grants are also available, which is money that doesn’t have to be paid back!

Your Source for Supplemental Courses

We recognize that some courses, like foreign language or lab-based science classes, can be difficult to teach in a homeschool setting. Ivy Tech can be a great choice to supplement your existing high school curriculum. And, students earn college credit for those classes! Explore classes
