Ivy Tech Community College’s dual credit program has reached a record enrollment with 52,908 students enrolled for the 2014-15 school year, saving Indiana students and their parents $40 million in tuition costs.
This year’s dual credit enrollment represents a 15.5 percent increase in students, compared to the 45,819 high school students enrolled last year and a 41 percent increase in students compared to the 37,505 students enrolled two years ago.
Ivy Tech’s dual credit program allows high school students to simultaneously earn both college credit at Ivy Tech and high school credit. Dual credit courses are free to students, saving parents even more on their child’s college education.
The college currently offers dual credit programs in 419 Indiana high schools and career centers. Ivy Tech uses dual credit to encourage greater participation in higher education and to help students overcome real or perceived obstacles to higher education.
The most common form of Ivy Tech dual credit involves courses taught in a high school, by a high school instructor, and offered during the regular school day. High school faculty who offer the dual credit course must meet credential requirements and participate in professional development provided by Ivy Tech. Dual credit agreements are reviewed every year.
