Ivy Tech Community College

Welcome to Ivy Tech Community College, Indiana's dedicated gateway to career success and higher education. Established in 1963, Ivy Tech has grown to become the state's largest public community college system, driven by its powerful motto: 'Our Communities. Your College.' With a commitment to accessible and relevant education, Ivy Tech empowers nearly 90,000 students annually to achieve their academic and professional aspirations.

Ivy Tech's journey began as Indiana's Vocational Technical College, founded with a clear mission to provide essential technical and vocational education for the state's industries. This foundational purpose has evolved, and after being re-chartered multiple times, including an official name change to Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana in 2005, it cemented its role as a comprehensive community college system. A significant milestone occurred in 2008 when the Indiana University system entrusted Ivy Tech with the majority of its associate (2-year) degrees, further solidifying its academic standing and reach across the state.

Today, Ivy Tech stands out for its strong academic offerings, particularly in technical and vocational fields, preparing students with practical skills directly applicable to the workforce. Beyond associate degrees, Ivy Tech is committed to providing pathways for continued learning; a notable partnership with the University of Virginia, forged in 2019, allows Ivy Tech undergraduates to seamlessly complete their four-year degrees online. This blend of hands-on training and clear transfer opportunities ensures a dynamic and supportive student experience, making Ivy Tech an invaluable resource for individuals seeking to advance their careers and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
