The Partnership

The ABC program is a partnership between the Indiana University regional campuses in Kokomo, Gary and South Bend in conjunction with the Ivy Tech Community College campuses of northern and north central Indiana. The ABC program represents the proven formula in higher education that students who earn an Associate’s degree at a community college are much more likely to go on to earn their Bachelor’s degree at a college or university.

The ABC program provides full-time Ivy Tech students with an excellent pathway to earn quality, accessible, and affordable associate and bachelor's degrees which will increase their opportunities for a professional career. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain by enrolling in the ABC program. Enrollment does not limit transfer options in any way. In fact, if an Ivy Tech student decides to transfer to IU Kokomo, IU Northwest, or IU South Bend, they will have guaranteed admission and other advantages not available to non-ABC students. It is easy to enroll and it's free.
