History
Ivy Tech was founded in 1963 as the Vocational School of Indiana in order to provide technical and vocational education for various industries and was inaugurated as a technical vocational school system in 2005. The name "Ivy Tech" derives from an initialism (IV Tech) from the original name of the school. The name was officially changed to Ivy Tech State College in 1995.
In 1999, Ivy Tech partnered with Vincennes University to form Community College of Indiana. The partnership ended in 2005 and Ivy Tech was inaugurated as a college system, and was renamed Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana. In 2008, the Indiana University system agreed to move most of its (2-year) colleagues to the Ivy Tech Community College System.
