Ivy Tech Community College is reaching across the state line to help students continue their education. It has signed a memorandum of agreement with Ohio University to collaborate on programs.
The two institutions have developed articulated transfer pathways to allow Ivy Tech students to seamlessly transfer into the university located in Athens, Ohio once they finish at Ivy Tech.
In 2018, the schools signed an agreement to allow Ivy Tech students who are getting their Associate of Science in Nursing degree to transition to Ohio’s RN-to-BSN program. This new agreement expands upon that relationship.
“Our partnership with Ohio University provides flexibility for our students to continue achieving their goals through intentional programming and options that fit their needs,” said Sue Ellspermann, president of Ivy Tech Community College. “We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to generating more pathways that benefit our students as they progress through their academic careers.”
Through the partnership, Ivy Tech students will have access to Ohio University’s Strategic Transfer Educational Plan program. STEP provides benefits such as early admission, personal transfer advising, and financial advice on paying for school.
