In 1987, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education recommended that the Indiana Vocational Technical College (IVTC) system and other state postsecondary educational institutions work cooperatively to develop associate degree programs designed to articulate with related baccalaureate degree programs. In May 1995, the state undertook an examination of the status of the associate degree programs in terms of the extent of credit transfer from IVTC to other public institutions, the basis of program transfer agreements, the transfer of credits to related bachelor's degrees, and program agreements with independent and out-of-state institutions. Findings included the following: (1) based on the agreements reached on general education courses alone at IVTC (also known as Ivy Tech), virtually every IVTC associate degree program transferred at least some credits to public, four-year institutions; (2) programs transferred a minimum of 6 semester hours of GE credits, while the majority transferred from 9 to 12 semester hours; (3) the two different bases for program transfer agreements were program articulation agreements and course-by-course agreements; (4) 13 independent institutions had at least one program articulation with at least one IVTC campus; and (5) in general, significant progress was found regarding the transfer of IVTC credit to other public institutions, meeting the goals of the 1987 recommendations. Appendixes provide spring 1995 data on IVTC program transfers with state public, independent, and selected out-of-state institutions, as well as the 1987 recommendations. (KP)
