President Jo Ann Gora signed an agreement with Ivy Tech President Thomas Snyder today allowing Ivy Tech education students to transfer credits to Ball State University.
Students who complete an Associate of Science degree in elementary education at any of Ivy Tech's 23 campuses can receive up to 62 credit hours after transferring to Ball State, according to a press release. The agreement is effective July 1.
"Many of these individuals may be single parents, people who don't live close to a university or others whose life circumstances, for whatever reasons, just don't allow them to pursue their educational goals in traditional ways," Gora said in the press release. "The online component of the program should be a great convenience for them, opening up new avenues for many of these individuals to become excellent teachers. We are pleased to join our colleagues at Ivy Tech in creating this educational and economic opportunity for scores of Indiana residents."
More than 2,000 Ivy Tech students have transferred more than 38,000 credit hours to Ball State since 2002.
