School Notes
Ivy Tech is a statewide open-admissions community college that has
grown into the second-largest post-secondary institution in
Indiana. Our programs lead to two-year associate's degrees and
one-year technical certificates. With 23 campuses and low tuition,
Ivy Tech is both convenient and affordable. One of the first
regional campuses established in the young Ivy Tech system, South
Bend first began offering classes in 1968 on West Sample Street in
the old Studebaker plant while a nearby unused high school was
enlarged and remodeled. Classes were moved to the renovated high
school in 1969. A new campus opened in January 2000 at 220 Dean
Johnson Blvd. Today, Ivy Tech's South Bend campus annually serves
approximately 5,000 students. Students range in age from 16 to over
65, with a median age of around 27. Enrollment is approximately 53
percent female, and three out of four students attend part-time.
Minorities account for 27 percent of the student body. The South
Bend campus prides itself on providing the flexibility, support and
encouragement that nontraditional students need to achieve academic
and career success while balancing work, school and family
responsibilities. Ivy Tech will continue to offer the career and
technical training which we're known for, but we also offer courses
and programs that transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
So you can enjoy Ivy Tech's quality instruction, small classes,
flexible scheduling and helpful instructors while you stay on-track
for a four-year degree. Over 25 academic programs in six divisions:
Arts and Design, Business, General Education and Support Services,
Health and Human Services, Public Services, Technology. Many
specialties and concentrations offered within individual programs.
Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana is accredited by the North
Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
