Hoosier college students will have greater opportunities to transfer credits after an agreement between Ivy Tech Community College and Indiana University.
The two institutions have designated more than 100 courses that will transfer from all 23 Ivy Tech campuses to Indiana University-Bloomington. In addition to the courses, the two schools signed formal agreements to transition Ivy Tech two-year degrees to IU four-year degrees at campuses throughout the state.
They include six Ivy Tech liberal arts degrees, which were added to existing agreements in nursing and criminal justice. The two institutions plan to add agreements in business, education and computer information systems in the near future.
Indiana University enrolls some 98,000 students on eight campuses across the state.
Ivy Tech Community College is the nation's largest statewide community college system. It is also Indiana's second largest public post-secondary institution with over 105,000 students enrolled annually on 23 campuses.
