History
Ivy Tech was founded in 1963, as Indiana Vocational Technical College, to provide technical and vocational education for various industries and was rechartered as a system of vocational technical schools in 2005. The name "Ivy Tech" derives from an initialism (I.V. Tech) of the school's original name, which was Indiana Vocational Technical College. The name was officially changed to Ivy Tech State College in 1995. In 1999, Ivy Tech entered into a partnership with Vincennes University to form the Community College of Indiana. The partnership ended in 2005 and Ivy Tech was rechartered as a system of community colleges, and renamed Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana.
Ivy Tech has many affiliations with two- and four-year colleges around the state but is no longer associated with Vincennes University.
