Undergraduate - transfers from Ivy Tech State College

Starting this fall it is now possible for students at all Ivy Tech State College locations to transfer credits to Purdue University’s College of Technology,

Purdue’s College of Technology now has in place a systemwide articulation agreement with Ivy Tech for three programs: organizational leadership and supervision, industrial technology, and engineering/technology teacher education. The agreement will make it easier for students in related programs at Ivy Tech to pursue a Purdue bachelor's degree.

The agreement applies to the college’s West Lafayette campus, as well as its 10 Indiana locations. Purdue offers a bachelor's degree in organizational leadership and supervision at the College of Technology’s Anderson, Columbus, Greensburg, Kokomo, Lafayette, New Albany, Richmond and South Bend locations. A Purdue bachelor's degree in industrial technology is offered at the college's Lafayette, Richmond and South Bend locations, and industrial technology coursework is available at the Anderson, Columbus and Greensburg locations. The engineering/technology teacher education program is currently available at the West Lafayette campus.

In all three Purdue College of Technology programs, Ivy Tech students can transfer nearly half the credits required to earn a bachelor's degree. Students pursuing majors within the Ivy Tech technology and business divisions will receive the highest number of transfer credits.

Ivy Tech students are encouraged to work with Ivy Tech counselors early in their studies to ensure that the correct courses are taken to earn maximum credit toward a Purdue bachelor’s degree.

The Purdue-Ivy Tech agreement is the first step toward meeting an Indiana General Assembly mandate that requires all state universities in Indiana to establish articulation agreements that apply to any campus in the Ivy Tech State College and Vincennes University systems. The legislation requires the identification of 12 college degree programs that would be transferable to public four-year campuses offering a bachelor's degree program in that area.

Change of Degree Objective (CODO)

If you are interested in changing your degree, you should schedule a meeting with Mr. Craig Mallett - he will be able to provide you with information. An adjusted 2.5 minimum GPA is required to CODO into Industrial Technology. There are no required CODO meetings to attend.
