A transfer student is any student who has college coursework at one institution and then transfers that coursework to another institution. As a transfer student, you may complete an associate degree or individual classes at Ivy Tech and then transfer to another college or university to continue your studies.
Ivy Tech is a community college that offers a variety of credentials ranging from workforce certifications to short-term certificates (known as certificates) to long-term certificates (known as technical certificates) to associate degrees. The highest degree you can earn at Ivy Tech is a two-year associate degree. At a four-year institution, you can earn a bachelor’s or advanced degree. A bachelor’s degree is an academic degree earned for an undergraduate major that generally takes four years of full-time study.
Ivy Tech offers a variety of transfer pathways to consider:
Ivy Tech offers the lowest college tuition in the state, making it Indiana's best value in higher education. Students who choose to start their college journey at Ivy Tech and then transfer to another college or university can save more than $10,000 on their bachelor's degree.

When deciding where to transfer, it's important to make sure that the credits you have earned are transferrable to that school and that the majors and degrees they offer are compatible with your Ivy Tech program. Transferring your Ivy Tech credits to another college or university has never been easier. In fact, more than 5,000 students transfer annually, and we’d love to help you become one of them this year. Many popular program areas have a large number of four-year partners, giving you the flexibility to choose between several institutions.
Explore the list below to see which schools Ivy Tech has partnerships with for your academic program.
Ivy Tech has transfer partnerships with 85 other colleges and universities, both in-state and out-of-state, both public and non-public.
Click the links below to learn more details about those partnerships. If you want to make sure a specific university accepts your Ivy Tech program, review the "Participating Schools by Program" container on this page.
Even if this is your first semester, it is not too early to begin planning the transfer process. In fact, that is the best time to start! The Transfer Timeline and Checklist will help you know what to do and when to do it to prepare for a smooth transition to your next school.
Remember, most colleges require grades of at least a C or better for courses to transfer!

The Core Transfer Library is a list of 88 courses that are pre-approved for transfer between all Indiana public college and university campuses, in addition to six independent colleges and universities (assuming adequate grades were earned). Core Transfer Library courses will meet the general or free elective requirements of undergraduate degree programs and most will also count towards degree program requirements, if an equivalent course is taught at the four-year campus you plan to attend.
Ivy Tech does offer courses that may transfer to a select set or even a single college or university. See your academic advisor to learn more about these courses.
Before enrolling in courses at Ivy Tech, it is important to find out which course credits may transfer to or from other institutions. Use this helpful tool to find out how courses you have taken or plan to take may transfer to another college or university for credit.
