[edit] 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 original name for the school, Indiana Vocational Technical College. Ivy Tech's 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 and Ivy Tech was rechartered in 2005 to be known as a system of community colleges named Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana. Ivy Tech has many affiliations with various colleges around the state, both two and four year colleges, but Ivy Tech is no longer associated with Vincennes University.
