Transfer Single Articulation Pathways (TSAP) Degree Programs

By completing one of these degree programs you will be eligible to transfer to ANY public four-year institution in the state of Indiana. You will be transferred in with junior status once you are admitted to that college or university.*  Please watch the video, visit our TSAP page, and talk with your advisor for more information!

*Certain coursework taken at Ivy Tech prior to Fall 2014 can be counted toward completion of a TSAP program - to learn more we encourage you speak with an advisor. 

Transfer as a Junior programs, officially known as TSAP (Transfer Single Articulation Pathways) programs, are based upon a curriculum agreed upon across all of the public institutions in Indiana. These programs allow you to graduate from Ivy Tech Community College with an associate degree, then transfer directly to the four-year college or university directly as a junior.

Remember, completing the Transfer as a Junior program does not guarantee admission to your chosen university. We encourage you reach out to the academic advising office of the university you hope to attend to better understand admission requirements of that university.

It is important you stay in contact with your Ivy Tech advisor throughout your academic journey to meet your Transfer as a Junior program requirements. Changing your plan without speaking with an advisor could result in not completing the program within the two-year time frame required for this process. 

Ivy Tech Community College’s Start as a Sophomore, also known as the Statewide Transfer General Education Core (STGEC), prepares you for a successful start to your associate degree with Ivy Tech and your bachelor's degree.

Formerly known as the Gen Ed Transfer Program, Start as A Sophomore allows you to begin your time at Ivy Tech with a 30-credit hour block that transfers to all other public four-year colleges in Indiana. The curriculum of these core classes is the same at Ivy Tech as the other institutions, but the tuition rate is less.

By starting at Ivy Tech, you can save money while furthering your education!

  • Core Transfer Library (CTL): is a list of courses that will transfer among all Indiana public college and university campuses, assuming adequate grades. Core Transfer Library courses will meet the general or free elective requirements of undergraduate degree programs and most CTL courses will also count towards degree program requirements, if an equivalent course is taught at the four-year campus you plan to attend.
  • Non-CTL: other Ivy Tech courses that transfer a single college or university. See your regional academic advisor for a listing of courses in your community.

Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Transfer Opportunities

An associate of applied science (AAS) degree is designed for students planning to join the workforce after graduation. Those who are planning to transfer into a 4 year program should take the Associate of Science (AS) or Associate of Arts (AA) degree while at Ivy Tech. However, students with an earned AAS degree may decide to pursue transfer into a four-year program after completing their program. Several institutions have identified specific transfer opportunities that are available to students with an AAS degree and which allow students to transfer the credits they earned toward a bachelor's degree.
