“Ivy Tech is continuing to experience record growth due to a number of factors: the tremendous demand for associate degrees with transferable credits, giving students an affordable start to a four-year degree, the desire to upgrade skills to improve marketability, the increased number of programs offered, and the increased awareness of the quality of our faculty and services,” said Dr. John Hogan, Chancellor of Ivy Tech. “We look forward to continuing to serve the residents of south central Indiana to the best of our ability.”
