INDIANAPOLIS - Ivy Tech Community College and Purdue University have partnered to offer expanded transfer of credit opportunities for students throughout Indiana.
The two institutions recently signed additional agreements, bringing the total number of degree programs that will transfer from all Ivy Tech campuses to Purdue University to eight. This collaboration allows students to complete an associate degree at any Ivy Tech Community College campus and transfer to Purdue University-West Lafayette for the completion of a bachelor's degree.
With the new agreement, Purdue will accept seven concentrations from Ivy Tech liberal arts degrees to include history and philosophy (from Humanities), Spanish and French (from Foreign Languages), sociology and political science (from Social and Behavioral Sciences) and English (from English and Communications). Nursing and manufacturing and industrial technology will transfer toward the completion of bachelor's degrees in the same areas of study at Purdue. Additionally, Ivy Tech's associate of science in education will transfer to Purdue's industrial technology with education option and agriculture with education option programs. An associate of science in business administration will transfer into Purdue's School of Technology organizational leadership and supervision program.
This announcement comes following a similar announcement in May between Indiana University and Ivy Tech Community College.
