Question: Do credits transfer from Ivy Tech Community College to the University of Indianapolis?I have a ton of college credits through my high school from ivy tech, and was thinking of taking some online classes this summer through ivy tech as well to get general ed. out of the way. Will they transfer?10 months ago
Best Answerone does not get GenEd credits 'out of the way'... GenEd courses should be spread out over the course of the program, This eases scheduling later on, and allows you to mature into a student. You would have to ask the Registrars office at UofIndiana about if they accept IvyTech credits.... |
Question: Is going to IVY Tech Community College a waste of time?18 months ago
Best AnswerCommunity college is not a waste of time...the stuff you learn there is the same stuff you learn in your first two years...Just be sure to look at the requirements of the major at the college you want to go to so you'll have all the courses you need to succeed....I went straight to a four year college but a friend of mine is at a comm college and he's doing the same stuff...Just make sure you get the best grades possible and take the classes that will set you up for success in your 4yr college...Talk to advisers at both the comm college and the 4 year school....Comm college is a cheaper way to get a good education so if money is tight than it's not a waste of time.... |
Question: SAT's - Ivy Tech community college?Does anyone know if it's necessary to take the SAT's in order to get in? I visited their website but can't find the answer. Here's the website: http://ivytech.edu/ Here's the link to the admission form: http://ivytech.edu/AdmissionAppForm.pdf20 months ago
Best AnswerWhen I had applied to Ivy Tech (Indiana) SAT's weren't required for when I was in high school, But, I did have to take an entrance exam to be placed in the courses that would help me get in the right courses for me. The best thing I could tell you is call the business at the local school and ask them. |
