Students may now complete one year at any of Ivy Tech’s statewide locations before transferring credits to Hanover for the completion of a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.
(Hanover, Ind.) - Ivy Tech and Hanover are teaming up to offer students transferring from the community college a direct path to a bachelor’s degree through a cooperative transfer agreement signed by both institutions.
As part of Ivy Tech's "Start as a Sophomore" program, students can complete one year at any of Ivy Tech’s statewide locations before transferring credits to Hanover for the completion of a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.
“We are very pleased to collaborate with Ivy Tech to provide greater educational opportunities to Indiana students, particularly in this part of the state,” said Carey Adams, Hanover’s provost and vice president for academic affairs. “We’re looking forward to welcoming more Ivy Tech students at Hanover and helping them to achieve their educational and career goals.”
Eligible Ivy Tech students will be required to complete 30 credit hours and earn the technical certificate in general education.
The 30 credit hours must include six areas: written communication (3-6 credits), speaking and listening (3-6 credits), quantitative reasoning (3-9 credits), scientific ways of knowing (3-10 credits), social and behavioral ways of knowing (3-9 credits), and humanistic and artistic ways of knowing (3-9 credits), which will articulate into 7.5-9.0 Hanover academic units. Hanover College graduates must complete 36 units for graduation.
Ivy Tech students will need to submit and application for admission, earn a course grade of “C” or better and have a 2.0 or higher grade-point average on a four-point scale. Successful applicant may then apply a minimum of 30 credit hours toward any of Hanover’s nearly 50 undergraduate degree programs.
“While working on this project with Hanover College, I frequently remembered a quotation by my mentor, Margaret Seifert-Russell, who was a dear friend of both institutions. Margaret always said that comparing Ivy Tech’s credit hour system to Hanover College’s unit system is like comparing apples and oranges, but in the end, it is the bowl of fruit that feeds the student. I am proud to honor her with this new pathway,” says Amanda Allen Harsin '06, vice chancellor for academic affairs at the Madison campus of Ivy Tech.
