Whether you’re busy with a full-time job or have been
away from formal education for awhile, Indiana Tech’s College of
Professional Studies in Fort Wright provides a path to career-advancing
education.
The College of Professional Studies offers
undergraduate and graduate programs in an accelerated format to
accommodate students who also have to balance work, family and community
responsibilities. The college focuses on adult learners who already
have workplace or previous college experience.
Classes meet one evening per week for five weeks at
the undergraduate level and six weeks at the graduate level. Online
classes also span five weeks or six weeks, but allow students to access
materials and complete coursework at any time.
Textbooks, which are included in the cost of tuition, are shipped to students prior to the start of each class.
Located at 809 Wright’s Summit Parkway, the Fort
Wright campus is Indiana Tech’s second Kentucky campus. The first opened
in Louisville in 2011.
The Northern Kentucky location is about 11,000
square feet and features eight classrooms, a library, a computer lab, a
student lounge and wireless connectivity throughout the facility.
One of the attractions of the College of
Professional Studies is its flexibility. New class sessions start every
five weeks and three out of five students attend classes online rather
than on site.
Students aren’t locked into taking classes in a
predetermined order with the same group of classmates during the same
night and place throughout their enrollment. While many classes do have
prerequisites, students have a great deal of flexibility in scheduling
classes and locations that are convenient for them.
Students also earn credits based on life experience
through the Credit for Learning Program or by passing standardized
tests. Transferring credits for classes completed at another institution
is another option. They may also defer tuition until after each class
is completed if their employer offers tuition assistance. Formally known
as Indiana Technical College, Indiana Tech is a private university
founded in 1930. It offers career-oriented degree programs in
high-demand fields such as accounting, business, criminal justice and
leadership.
In addition to the main campus in Fort Wayne, other
satellite campuses in Indiana are in Elkhart, Fishers, Greenwood,
Huntington, Indianapolis, Jeffersonville, Kendallville, Mishawaka,
Munster, Plainfield and Warsaw.
Indiana Tech is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
