About the Lake County Campus

Welcome to the Lake County Campus section of Ivy Tech’s statewide site! I’m glad you are taking the time to explore our campus, programs, and course offerings.

As you navigate your way through the pages, you will discover the many different programs and courses we can offer you, whether you are a traditional student directly out of high school or a non-traditional, adult learner. No matter your goal—a two-year degree, or a short-term or long-term certificate—we can guide you on the way to a well-paying, high-demand career. Ivy Tech Lake County can help you achieve your dreams.

We are proud not only of the diversity of our programs, but also of our students and staff. All are welcome. We are here to help you succeed.

If you are already part of our Lake County family, I’m glad you’re here. If you are considering your college options, I hope you decide to join us. All the best as you continue your educational journey!

– Marcos Rodriquez, Chancellor, Ivy Tech Lake County

What Makes Our Campus Unique?

  • Three locations that share programs but also individually focus on specific academic areas: East Chicago, trades; Crown Point, nursing and health sciences; Gary, sciences. 
  • Our newly constructed welding lab in East Chicago makes sure students get the hands-on experience they need to succeed in this high-demand field. Simulation labs in Crown Point give students the feeling of working in an actual hospital or lab setting. State-of-the-art science labs at the Arts & Sciences Building on the IUN campus in Gary equip students to pursue further education in fields such as biology and chemistry
  • Partnerships with employers such as Cleveland Cliffs and Franciscan Health give our graduates an entryway into their career field
  • Strong ties to higher education partners such as Valparaiso University, Purdue University Northwest and Indiana University Northwest, among others
