Open House Planned For Students Interested In Earning Associate Degree In Less Than 1 Year

An Open House is planned at Ivy Tech Community College for high school graduates within the last three years, who are interested in earning an Associate of Science Degree in Liberal Arts in

11 months through the Associate Accelerated Program (ASAP).

The free event is planned for Wednesday, May 25, from 6-8 p.m., in Room 107 at Ivy Tech Community College, 3501 First Avenue.

The program is designed so that students attend classes together, as a cohort, each day of the week. Financial and technology supports are made available to students. The associate degree is completely transferrable to all colleges in Indiana and selected others. “In fact, the students graduating in our first two cohorts, had 100 percent of their college credits earned, transfer seamlessly to their bachelor degree granting university or college,” said Kelly Cozart, associate vice chancellor for academics at Ivy Tech. “Students were able to transfer after 11 months to become juniors at IU, Purdue, Butler, USI, UE and Western Kentucky University, to continue toward a four-year degree.”

At the event students will have the opportunity to speak with faculty and coordinators of the program, and talk one-on-one with recent graduates. Information about financial aid, programming, supports for students, and a campus tour will be provided.
