Dual Admission

ATTEND IVY TECH & AN IU OR PURDUE REGIONAL CAMPUS AT THE SAME TIME

WHAT IS DUAL ADMISSION?

Dual Admission is when a student starts working toward their associate degree at Ivy Tech and is simultaneously enrolled at a four-year partner college or university. In your first two years, you take Ivy Tech classes as you work on your associate degree while enjoying the on-campus activities and resources at the four-year partner institution where you will later earn your bachelor’s degree.

Participating College Partners

Currently, Ivy Tech has Dual Admission partnerships with two Indiana universities:

Imagine saving money while immersing yourself in campus life at the school where you will get your four-year degree. Participating in a Dual Admission program also means you’ll have a seamless transfer to the partner school.
