Ivy Tech Community College is Indiana's only statewide community college system, serving over 110,000 students at more than 40 locations across the state. Founded in 1963 as Indiana Vocational Technical College, the institution rebranded as Ivy Tech Community College in 1999 to reflect its expanded academic mission. Ivy Tech offers associate degrees, technical certificates, and workforce development programs across a broad range of fields including business, healthcare, information technology, culinary arts, advanced manufacturing, public safety, and liberal arts transfer pathways. As a public institution with an open admissions policy, Ivy Tech provides accessible higher education to students of all academic backgrounds, with some of the lowest tuition rates available for Indiana residents. The college has established formal transfer articulation agreements with Indiana's four-year public universities, allowing students to transfer completed associate degrees with guaranteed junior-year standing in many programs. Ivy Tech partners extensively with Indiana employers and state workforce agencies to develop certificate and degree programs aligned with regional labor market needs, particularly in advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors. While most Ivy Tech locations do not offer on-campus housing, individual campuses provide student services, computer labs, tutoring, and career counseling. Select campuses participate in NJCAA intercollegiate athletics.
