News Release

NORTH MANCHESTER — Manchester University and Ivy Tech Community College will sign an agreement providing a direct pathway from Ivy Tech to Manchester for more than 40 transfer pathways at the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana on Wednesday, June 25.

This partnership will facilitate the transfer of students with associate degrees from Ivy Tech to bachelor’s degree programs at Manchester University, allowing them to transfer up to 60 credits. Students with an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of General Studies or Associate of Fine Arts degree from Ivy Tech will be considered to have fulfilled Manchester’s general education core requirements, guaranteed to have all their credits transferred, and will enter Manchester as a junior.

Guaranteed admission is extended to students who complete an eligible associate degree with a minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA and meet other outlined conditions.

“Our articulation agreements with Ivy Tech reflect our shared commitment to expanding access, reducing cost and creating clear, seamless pathways for students to achieve their academic and career goals,” said Stacy Young, president of Manchester University.

“We are thrilled to expand opportunities for our students through these new transfer pathways with Manchester University,” said Ivy Tech Chancellor Kim Barnett-Johnson. “This partnership represents a shared commitment to student success, providing Ivy Tech graduates with a clear and seamless route to continue their education and achieve their long-term goals. Together, we’re empowering learners to build brighter futures-right here in northeast Indiana and beyond.”

This partnership further strengthens Manchester’s efforts to streamline the transfer process. Acceptance of the Indiana College Core and development of summer courses for high school students are just a few of the University’s other initiatives to support transfer students and recognize prior college-level work.
