In the last decade, Ivy Tech has experienced marked change. The college has honored its commitment to keep higher education affordable by holding tuition increases at or below the change in the cost of living index—in fact it is the only public college in the state to accomplish this goal.

How is ROI Achieved?

• Ivy Tech's caring instructors, small class sizes and marketable degrees and certifications.
• Transfer programs help young Hoosiers make the transition from high school to research institutions.
• Customized, on-site training for employers keeps Indiana competitive in challenging times., building on the college's reputation as the economic development engine for the state.

Indiana employers and residents are asking more of Ivy Tech Community College:

• To help build an Indiana near the top of national statistics for educational attainment and workforce readiness.
• To help communities thrive, the college must increase capacity to serve more students, excel in quality programs, and maintain affordability and accessibility at the same time.

To meet these critical demands, the college is embarking on a dramatic and aggressive new course to find auxiliary sources of support to augment scarce public funds, led by a new vision of service and performance, guided by the requests of state leaders, spurred with a strategic plan developed through the involvement of hundreds of business and community leaders.
