The Business Division provides transfer degrees and career education for individuals seeking employment and for those who are currently employed in business and business-related fields. Programs lead to an Associate in Applied Science degree, Associate in Science degree or a Technical Certificate. Opportunities to transfer credits to a four-year college are available through Associate in Science degrees or through transfer of credit for selected individual courses. The Business Division's programs are nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs and The North Central Association Commission on Institutions of Higher Education . Additionally, Ivy Tech State College serves as a Microsoft Authorized Training Center and Novell Authorized Education Partner.
Students are eligible to receive certification for training successfully completed.
Based on assessment scores, which determine competency levels, some basic skills courses may be required as prerequisites to program courses. Please consult an advisor about these requirements. Students graduating from the Business Division participate in evaluations of proficiency in general and technical education. In the past, a working individual could only complete an Associates Degree by attending class four nights a week or going part time and stretching the completion time out by several years. This will be accomplished through a combination of eight-week class sessions, Internet courses, and video conferencing.
