The institutions say the agreements will allow students to complete 60 credit hours and their associate degree at Ivy Tech and then transfer to Purdue Fort Wayne to complete their bachelor’s degree.
“Collaborative transfer agreements are a win-win for both of our institutions, the community and the student body,” according to Gary Steffen, director of Purdue Fort Wayne’s School of Polytechnic.
The schools say the agreements create pathways for students from Ivy Tech’s Building Construction Management and Engineering Technology programs to Purdue Fort Wayne’s Construction Management and Industrial Engineering Technology programs, respectively.
“Faculty from the two institutions have enjoyed a collaborative relationship for the past few years,” said Darrel Kesler, dean of Ivy Tech Fort Wayne and Warsaw’s School of Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering & Applied Science. “Northeast Indiana students have benefited from this cooperation and the formal articulation agreements will further support their educational endeavors.”
The institutions say the options allow students to obtain an affordable education in their home community and will positively impact construction and manufacturing industries in northeast Indiana.
