New Programs to be Offered at Ivy Tech

by Lauren Richwine, Communications Specialist

As the recent graduate from a local university, I can testify to the value of having top notch programs within your own community! Well it recently came to my attention that Ivy Tech will be launching various new Health Programs as well as providing a Manufacturing Degree online.

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE) has approved the new Associate of Applied Science in Health Care Support degree along with Certificates in Pharmacy Technician, Patient Care, Phlebotomy Technician, Therapeutic Massage and Electrocardiography. The Manufacturing degree and certificates will be available in January while the Health degree and certificates will be made available in Spring 2010.

Did you know that Ivy Tech Community College is our state’s largest public post-secondary institution? On top of that, it’s also the nation’s largest, singly-accredited statewide community college system with more than 130,000 students enrolled annually. Now THAT’S something worth bragging about! Congratulations to Ivy Tech on the approval of their new programs.
